Mrs. Hu's eyes swept over Song Xiaochi's face, took a green purse from the maid behind her, handed it to Song Xiaochi, and said with a smile: "Miss Song, this is a little gift for me."

Song Xiaochi took it generously and bowed his knees and thanked him, "Thank you, Madame, for your generous kindness!" ”

Mrs. Hu's main focus was on Xie Yan, she looked at Xie Yan from head to toe, and then praised: "The young man is very handsome, and he has a graceful demeanor in the wind, I don't know how many little girls will be fascinated when I go out, but I can get married?"

This last sentence was asked of Jiang's.

Jiang said: "Not yet, but I have already helped to take care of it, and I also wrote to his parents, and they all agreed, and his father also wrote back to me, saying that all matters such as marriage were left to me, and he was now on duty in the health center, and when he picked a good day, he would first set a marriage, and then get married after a year and a half."

Jiang said in detail, Song Xiaochi didn't know that Jiang actually wrote a letter to King Qian's mansion, and he didn't know how King Qian replied, did he really hand over his son's marriage to his aunt.

Before Xie Yan told her that his father didn't care who he married, he didn't need anyone's consent to marry him, she thought he was talking angrily, if it was put before, when she was still the eldest girl in Kang Yongbo's mansion, if Xie Yan said to her, "Let's get married, my mother is gone, my father can't care about me" and so on, even if Song Xiaochi didn't slap him on the spot, he would leave without looking back, and from then on he would be listed as a refusal to come and go.

But now she is no longer the lady of the Bofu who was locked up in the mansion of Uncle Kang Yong, she herself escaped from marriage, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with Xie Yan's behavior of leaving home in anger after being designed by his father's concubine, and since he said that he could call the shots about his own marriage, Song Xiaochi chose to believe him.

Now hearing Jiang's words, Song Xiaochi is even more sure in his heart, even if he had a small worry, it will be eliminated at this moment.

Mrs. Hu said with some regret: "Are you optimistic about others? That's me late, but you must inform me when you get married, I want to see what the bride looks like, such a handsome little brother marries a daughter-in-law, not to mention the country and the city, at least to be beautiful and generous. ”

Mrs. Hu seemed to be joking, but Song Xiaochi couldn't see whether Mrs. Hu really didn't know the relationship between Xie Yan and her, or pretended not to know.

"Childe, Master Hou sent someone to invite you over."

A mother-in-law came up to report.

Xie Yan saluted Jiang and Mrs. Hu, and glanced at Song Xiaochi again before leaving, and Song Xiaochi gave him a reassuring look.

Not long after Xie Yan left, drums rang out outside.

"It's going to start, it's going to begin!" Qu Wenshu exclaimed excitedly.

The people watching the dragon boat by the Furong River outside the shed shouted and cheered, and Song Xiaochi hugged Qu Xinghui higher, "Brother Hui, look over there, it's a dragon boat, the dragon boat is rowing over, and it will come to us in a while." ”

Song Xiaochi was talking to Qu Xinghui, and his eyes were also following the twelve dragon boats, which were already full of people outside, and the black pressure was overwhelming, cheers and cheers came and went, and the noisy pushed the festive atmosphere to **.

At the beginning, the twelve dragon boats were almost in unison, but before half a pillar of incense, they were separated from the front and back.

"Look, Team E has surpassed Team E and Team Yin, and it was still far away just now, why did it catch up so quickly, and it was about to overtake Team You."

Qu Wenshu shouted excitedly, everyone stood up, their eyes stared at the river without blinking, her cry made the rest of the people in the watch shed also focus on looking at the river, and even Mrs. Hu and Jiang, who had been talking, also stopped chatting and began to watch seriously.

The twelve dragon boat teams are named after the twelve earthly branches, among which the unitary team, after the initial half-pillar incense, shot like an arrow off the string, and quickly left the other dragon boats behind.

And the sub team and the Yin team followed closely behind, as for the E team that made Qu Wenshu exclaim again and again, the performance was not outstanding at the beginning, it was very ordinary, and the top five were not counted, but I didn't expect that when the distance was almost halfway, it suddenly became ruthless and rushed to the front.

"Hey, why did they get here?" Qu Wenshu was surprised, she focused and soon realized that something was wrong.

It turned out that the position of Team E was originally in the middle of the river, but somehow they ran around, or did not grasp the direction well, their dragon boat actually deviated from the original track, and the side of the river bank was getting closer and closer.

At this time, the people watching the dragon boat race on the river bank were also surprised, and Song Xiaochi heard someone below shouting: "The location is out of order!" Off! ”

"Oops, it's getting farther and farther away!"

"Oh no, the unitary team rushed to the front again!"

The people on the riverbank were shouting loudly, jumping in a hurry, or pointing fingers, but they could not stop the team from getting farther and farther away from the center of the river, and getting closer and closer to the riverbank.

"Is it the helmsman's problem?"

Song Xiaochi looked at Team E who had already traveled through the Qujia Tent and was about to arrive in front of the Mansion Tent, and after careful observation, she found that Team E's dragon boat didn't seem to have found that her direction had deviated at all, because Team E's dragon boat seemed to be going to go to the dark, and it didn't try to change direction at all.

The people on the bank of the river were still shouting loudly, but because of this short period of time, not only the previous first team rushed to the front again, but even the sub-team, the Yin team, and the Wei team also surpassed Team E one after another.

Qu Wenshu has long been out of the attention to Team E, she is now most optimistic about the team that remains in second place, this team can be regarded as the last, originally fell seven or eight places behind, when everyone paid attention to the E team that deviated from the track, it suddenly rushed to the front silently, like a cheetah ready to go, it seems that it may cross the team that is now temporarily in the first place at any time.

Song Xiaochi's eyes have been chasing Team E, and she always feels that according to Team E's previous performance, their behavior of deviating from the track more and more smoothly is a little strange, as if it was deliberate.

Appearing this thought, Song Xiaochi herself was also a little puzzled, just when she felt that she was thinking too much, suddenly, she saw the tail of the dragon boat of Team E swaying fiercely, and the water below rippled, and even splashed, and then the tail of the dragon boat sank down, and a figure jumped up from the tail of the dragon boat.

Song Xiaochi was startled, and his eyes hurriedly followed the figure of the jumping man.
