Chapter 12 Dragon Boat Festival
"The old body has seen the son!" Old Madam Yan saluted.
"Grandmother doesn't have to be polite." The prince of Chu stepped forward quickly and helped Mrs. Yan with nothingness.
"The prince of the world, please serve tea in the house." Old Madam Yan said politely.
The prince of Chu sighed secretly, the alienated attitude of his grandfather's family hurt him very much, but he is now twelve or thirteen years old, and he vaguely knows some old things; The means of the mother concubine entering the palace were disgraceful, and the Yan family was therefore mindful, he could understand that in order to win the help of the Yan Mansion, the father meant to let him marry the concubine of the Yan Mansion as the concubine, but ......
The fifth cousin of the long house is two years older than him, even if he doesn't mind, the Yan family will not let her wait until she is eighteen or nineteen years old to get married. There is no young lady in the second room, and the third room is a concubine, even if there is a young lady of the right age, it is useless, and all he can marry is the twelfth cousin in the fourth room; Although the twelfth cousin is only five years old, marrying her can not only win over the Yan Mansion, but also make the Rongwang Mansion and the British Mansion available to him, so that his father can fight against the crown prince; It didn't matter how young she was, he was willing to wait for her to grow up.
Entering the main hall, Mrs. Yan smiled and said, "Shizi, please take a seat." ”
The prince of Chu resolutely refused, "This is absolutely impossible, I am a junior, how can I sit at the head of the elders." If the grandmother is so polite again, the grandson will not dare to linger any longer. ”
Although Mrs. Yan doesn't like the princess of Chu, she will not be angry with the prince of Chu, not to mention that the prince of Chu has always been very kind; Old Madam Yan didn't have a good face for him, so at his insistence, she sat down according to his words.
In any case, Mrs. Yan is the mother-in-law of Princess Chu, the grandmother of the prince, no matter how much she doesn't like it, she has to give some face, so she asked him about trivial matters such as food, clothing, and daily life, and the prince of Chu did not show any impatience, and answered one by one.
After a while, the men of the Yan family came over, greeted the prince of Chu, and chatted casually. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, after Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan exchanged glances, Mrs. Yan spoke: "It's not early, the prince might as well stay and have dinner and then go back to the palace!" ”
The prince of Chu hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Then disturb my grandfather and grandmother, and my uncles and aunts." ”
Mrs. Yan took the prince of Chu and the men of the Yan Mansion to the outer courtyard, and after dinner, Mrs. Yan prepared a generous gift according to the custom, and asked him to take it back to the palace.
Early the next morning, the Yan family got into a carriage and went to the Yongding River in the southern suburbs to watch the dragon boat race. The carriages and horses passed through the lively long street, went out of the city from the south gate, and after more than half an hour, they arrived at the color shed. In order to shade the sun, the canopy was erected under two large trees. After settling down, Mrs. Yan stayed to serve Mrs. Yan, and Mrs. Yan San, the county lord of Nanping and Mrs. Yan Wu led the girl and the boy to another family's colorful shed to see the ceremony.
When she arrived at the colorful shed of King Rong's mansion, Princess Rong lovingly said a few words to the juniors, and said: "It's hot, Xiaoxiao don't follow it." "The most cherished is the little granddaughter.
"Sister, go by yourself, Xiaoxiao has me to take care of you here." The princess also urged the county lord of Nanping to leave quickly. As he spoke, he bent down and picked up Yan Hagi and took the pastries to feed her. The princess gave birth to four sons and one daughter, but unfortunately her daughter died early. Although the king of Tanglin County has three daughters, they are all concubines, if she lifts them, then she will slap the face of the concubine, and she will not have these worries if she loves Yan Hao, and she can still please her mother-in-law.
Yan Hagi remembered what Fu Zhixing said was delicious, and after her second aunt, Princess Tanglin County, led the four Tangjiang brothers and her three concubines back, she said goodbye to her grandmother and two aunts, and returned to the Yan family's colorful shed under the escort of the maidservant.
When Mrs. Yan saw her, she smiled and asked, "What good things did you coax your grandmother to come back again?" ”
"A plate of cherries." Yan Hagi smiled, "I eat with my grandmother and aunt." ”
Mrs. Yan smiled: "Thank you Xiaoxiao for thinking about me." ”
Old Madam Yan didn't answer her, but asked, "What did you eat at your grandmother's?" ”
"No, I didn't eat it." Yan Hagi shook his head.
Old Madam Yan's eyes fell on licorice, and licorice smiled: "Miss Twelve ate three pastries and a plate of cherries, and she wanted to eat them, but the princess and the princess stopped her." ”
"Little slippery head, after eating so much, no wonder the little belly is round, and you are not allowed to eat it now." Mrs. Yan picked her up and helped her rub her little belly, "Keep everything for you, and I'll eat it later." ”
Yan Hagi was in the arms of Old Madam Yan and squinted comfortably.
After a while, Mrs. Yan San and the others came back, and after a few words, they listened to the sound of gongs and drums, and the dragon boat race began. In the peaceful and prosperous era, this dragon boat race is becoming more and more lively, with a total of 39 dragon boats participating in this year.
Yan Hagi took the clairvoyance and looked at the high platform, the saint and the queen did not come, and the crown prince and the princess were sitting on it.
Luo Qi is fragrant, and the fish and dragon are colorful. The dragon boats on the river are like fierce lions and big whales, scrambling to be the first; The people on the shore cheered and cheered in unison, and the scene was very lively. After the winner was decided, the crown prince and the crown princess rewarded the lottery and left first, and the forbidden army and the city guards also withdrew more than half.
Mrs. Yan said: "Let's go back first, you can stay and play, remember not to go to the water's edge, and you must go back to the city before dark, although the world is peaceful now, but the outside of the city is not as stable as in the city." ”
The grandchildren all came down, but Yan Hong and Yan Fenghua, the two younger brothers, were brought back by the adults. Yan Hong looked at Yan Hagi with blank eyes, just hoping that the young lady would help her ask for a favor or something, so that she could stay and play. But the conscienceless young lady turned her head away with a weak face, just as if she didn't see it.
Please, she's just a little doll, and she needs someone to take care of her, so dare to bring another girl younger than herself by her side. Yan Hagi stretched out his hand towards Yan Tongzhu, "Fourth brother hug." ”
Yan Tongzhu smiled and bent down to pick Yan Hagi up. The large group of people in the Yan family did not get together, and they scattered to find their classmates and friends; When Mrs. Yan was leaving, she specially instructed the Wang family, "Take care of your cousin Yu, don't let people bump into her." There is another sentence, don't let her rush into people, but she didn't say it, but Wang can still understand it.
Yu Fangfei walked away with the people in the long room, Yan Tongzhu hugged Yan Hao, led the two younger brothers, accompanied by four guards and four maidservants, and walked away.
There are dozens of families scattered near the Yongding River, and there are some shrewd merchants who have made a river street, and people often come to hang out at ordinary times, and today it is even more lively; Yan Tongzhu took his younger siblings to one of them, a restaurant called Zhenshanguan.
