Chapter 216: Dragon Boat

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Ruyixuan also ate the zongzi sent from the kitchen.

The eldest lady was rarely interested, and ordered her subordinates to arrange it, and after not seeing anyone come for a long time, there was more festive joy in Ruyi Xuan.

Feng's mother also got the zongzi and praised: "There are so many patterns in this year's zongzi, eight treasures, red beans, dates, bean paste, chestnuts, purple potatoes, pork belly filling, I haven't seen many patterns, and my grandmother has a heart this time." ”

Since the last time Cai Wei's fake pregnancy was exposed, the old lady has replaced all the subordinates around the eldest lady, and Mother Feng was specially sent by the old lady to serve Ruyixuan.

Hearing Mother Feng's words, the eldest lady laughed a few times dryly, and said disdainfully: "Mother Feng, the silver money I gave you, how many zongzi can't be bought, and you rarely eat this stutter?" ”

"What Madame said is that the old slave is too talkative." Feng's mother sneered.

I heard that the zongzi were made by Shen Yu, but the eldest lady didn't touch any of them, so she asked the maid to take them to feed the dogs.

Mother Feng was used to living a hard life, and she couldn't waste food and stopped people.

After eating at Ruyixuan, Feng's mother sat under the lamp, looking at the zongzi on the plate, and sighed silently.

She asked her mother-in-law who lived in the same house, "Do you think the young grandmother is a good person?" Why can't the eldest lady get along with her? ”

The mother-in-law sat on the bed and fanned, she said: "Don't dare to say anything else, since the young grandmother is housekeeper, she has raised our monthly money, not to mention, and we are allowed to ask for our old people to leave the house." The eldest lady has never been in charge of the house, how many of us are old, how many of us are sick and dead, wrapped in a straw mat. ”

Mother Feng sighed again, "It's a pity, the eldest young grandmother was widowed at a young age." If the uncle was here, she would not be in such a situation in the Sheng family. ”

Speaking of the masters, the mother-in-law who accosted her couldn't help but gossip: "There are rumors about the eldest and youngest grandmother and the second master outside, but I think these two are quite a good match." A hundred years after the old lady, the Sheng family is not the second master who has the final say, I hope he can support the eldest and younger grandmothers. ”

"But ah, no one can say for sure what this man is in. Maybe in two years, the second master will marry the young grandmother......"

When it came to Sheng Yanqing, Feng's mother lost her mind for a moment, she was holding the kettle, and the water cup was full and she didn't notice it.

The water in the cup overflowed and spilled all over her.

"Ahh Feng's mother came back to her senses and went to clean up in a panic, it didn't matter if she moved, the rag knocked over the water cup again, the water cup hit the teapot, and spilled on the table.

The mother-in-law on the bed yawned and said, "What's wrong with you today?" Good festival, why is the mind unstable? I don't have much to live tomorrow, and I have to go to watch the dragon boat race, so I have to go to bed early. Pack up and blow the lights. ”

Mother Feng became more and more scrambling, packing up and lying on the bed, her mind full of things that the eldest lady had arranged for her to do recently.

"Listen to me, don't go to tomorrow's dragon boat race." Mother Feng seemed to have made up her mind, and kindly reminded.

The mother-in-law was already asleep in a daze, and she agreed indiscriminately and fell asleep again.

Qingshui Town is near the river and the sea, and the tradition of dragon boat racing has a history of 100 years. Every Dragon Boat Festival, the major families set up dragon boats in advance, select participants, and practice diligently, just to win the first place on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

A total of seven companies participated in the dragon boat competition this time, and the big families in Qingshui Town were all there.

Early in the morning, the riverside was full of people watching the game, and it was very lively.

In the morning, the sun was big, and the descendants of the Sheng family set up a shed for watching, and put up tables and chairs, melons and fruits, and brewed hot tea, which was completely different from the crowded coast.

The shed was much higher than the flat ground, and Shen Yu and Xu Xinyue sat on both sides of the table, and the situation on the river was unobstructed.

Sheng Jinxu pulled Shen Yu's sleeve, he pointed to the bustling crowd on the shore and said, "Mother, I want to go there to see, there are many people there." ”

Shen Yu took a piece of cantaloupe and handed it to Sheng Jinxu, and said, "There are so many people, what if you get lost?" There are also delicious fruits here, what's so bad? ”

"But Sheng Jinxi went there!" Sheng Jinxu looked unconvinced, "Why can't I go if he can go?" ”

Xu Xinyue said with a smile: "Xi'er is two years older than you, even if he gets lost, he can come back by himself." Brother Jin Xi is used to being wild, let's not learn from him. ”

Sheng Jinxu grabbed the corner of Shen Yu's clothes and hummed.

Shen Yu was helpless to be noisy, so she had to call Lai Bao, "You take Young Master Xu to the shore to watch, you must keep people in prison, don't bump into it." ”

Noble said respectfully, hunched Sheng Jinxu to his shoulders, and disappeared with a twist of his head.

Sitting in the shed to watch the dragon boat race is like sitting in the VIP viewing area, which is the first time for Shen Yu, and it is indescribably comfortable.

Xu Xinyue used a toothpick to fork the fruit to eat, she said with anticipation: "This year, the second master also got on the dragon boat, and it was our ship that was wearing red clothes and hanging the Sheng family flag for a while, and the second master commanded at the bow of the boat!" ”

Sheng Yun'er stood not far away and introduced: "The young master of the Shen family also got on the boat, I heard that they started practicing half a month ago, and the Zhou family, what they do is the business on the ship, and these are well-trained shipwrights who come on board." It seems that today's dragon boat races, the various families are going to compete for high and low. ”

Hexiang said: "In previous years, it was good for the Sheng family to be in the top three, it didn't matter if you won or not, just be happy." ”

The dragon boats on the river are already in place, and there are always more than a dozen decorated boats. The design of each ship is different, the workmanship is different, and the decoration is also different, and the sailors wear a variety of clothes, which is very eye-catching.

Hexiang quickly found the Sheng family boat, and excitedly pointed to the distance and said, "Grandma, where is our boat, we will have to keep an eye on it for a while." ”

Shen Yu smiled lightly and nodded, her gaze fell on the fiery red figure on the bow of the boat. Sheng Yanqing was holding a colorful flag in his hand, his figure was tall and majestic.

Next door was the Zhou family's shed, and Shen Yu happened to hear Mrs. Zhou's voice.

Mrs. Zhou said slowly: "This year, the Sheng family's boat is very outstanding, so many boats are put together, you can recognize it at a glance." This workmanship, decoration, at a glance you can see that it took a lot of work. ”

"No matter how hard it takes, it will be difficult for them to squeeze into the top three, don't forget what our Zhou family does. His Sheng family is no matter how public, and if it is a business that is related to water, don't think about overpowering us. The tone of the person who spoke was sour, it was the aunt of the Zhou family.

"It's about to start, let's watch first, I'm very optimistic about the Sheng family's ship." Miss Zhou's voice faded into the wind.

Xu Xinyue and Shen Yu sat together, she also heard the conversation of the Zhou family not far away, the corners of her mouth rose imperceptibly, and her eyes were full of disdain.
