025 Dragon Boat
Hearing this shout, the crowd crowded to the window. Mingzhu didn't take their place either, but got up and went back to the terrace on the fourth floor.
I saw that the colorful sheds on the bank of the river were surrounded by red flying green dances, and the gongs and drums were noisy. There is a high platform in the middle of the color shed, and after a while, there is an old man in a slightly rickety costume on the stage. Something was being chanted in his mouth, and he couldn't hear it from too far away, but his voice was loud and affectionate.
"This is reciting the sacrificial text, sacrificing the Quzi." Wei Ci saw that Mingzhu had been listening attentively, so he explained intimately. Mingzhu looked up and gave a big smile.
With a melodious shout, some colorful small things were thrown into the river intensively in the color shed. This time, there is no need for Wei Ci to explain, Mingzhu can guess it. It should be zongzi, river rice, sachet or something.
When the throwing is over, the sound of gongs and drums is more intense, and this wave of excitement is concentrated at the starting point of the dragon boat in the river.
In front of a long red ribbon, there are seven dragon boats with extremely bright colors and exaggerated shapes. On each dragon boat there were twenty bare-chested sailors side by side, and at the bow of the boat was a large man sitting in front of a flower drum that was more than a foot long. The teams of all sides are shouting the mobilization cry of subdued and frustration.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, downstairs dragon boat betting, do you want to bet?" I saw a small guy dragging a colorful tray up.
"Okay, let's have fun. Red festive, that's it. As she spoke, Mingzhu put a gold leaf into the red tray. If you're interested, you can play together. ”
Wei Ci was not interested in this.
The four girls discussed and each cast a color, all of which were silver beans. Si Chai said: "Let's talk about it, whoever wins will be who will go to the "Zhiweiguan" to buy ten great blessings for a while. ”
"I voted for cyan, fifty taels, I know the leader of cyan, they will win this year." It was Li Tietou who spoke, and a companion had a personal guard followed a silver bean.
Hearing this, Linglong hurriedly moved her silver beans to the cyan position. "I believe you!" Linlang's hand was a step slower.
"I vote for blue, fifty taels, and I know the leader of the blue, I think they can win this year." Zhang Liuzhu seemed to be more determined, and there was also a personal guard with a silver bean.
Linlang happened to cast blue.
After the little guy left, after a while, "Boom!" With a sound of the gong, the seven dragon boats moved forward at great speed.
"Where did these teams come from?" Mingzhu asked.
"These are the coolies on the docks, and they come to the competition not only to win the lottery, but also to show the strength of the merchants in the audience. Each year, the top team always receives more jobs than other teams. "Wei Ci also had a mind to encourage these strong men to join the army. Unfortunately, the notion that "a good man is not a soldier" is too hard to shake.
There were many gamblers in the color shed, cheering for the optimistic dragon boat team. The dragon boats on the river did not give in to each other at the beginning, and the rhythm of the dragon boat horn became faster and faster. In the second half of the race, the various dragon boats opened up some distances.
Sure enough, the first position has been changing between the blue and blue teams, only to see faster and faster, faster and faster. In the end, the blue team finally won the first place in the competition by half a distance ahead of the green team.
"Yay!" The three lucky winners cheered together.
The little guy also came up in time to redeem the prize, and Zhang Liuzhu's serious face smiled. Fifty taels becomes one hundred taels, although it is nothing to them, but who is not happy to have a good fortune? Linlang and the guard were also happy.
"Then Linlang, you go buy Daifuku. Let His Highness taste it. Si Hai commanded with a smile.
"No, no, I'll buy it, who will make me earn more?" "Knowing the taste of the house" right? You wait. With that, Zhang Liuzhu gave Wei Ci a half-salute, and with permission, he turned around and went downstairs.
"Tap, you tap and I'll buy it, can't I buy it?" I saw that in the corner, Linglong crossed her waist with one hand and twisted Li Tietou's ears with the other. Li Tietou didn't dare to struggle hard, but just said a stack of forgiveness.
"Huh? When did they become so familiar? There is adultery!" Mingzhu They only watched the excitement from the sidelines, and no one went to pull the rack.
"You stinky bald head, it's all because of you that this girl lost money!" Completely forgot the fact that although she didn't choose cyan before, she didn't choose blue either. It wasn't until Li Tietou promised to give her the monthly money to buy "Xie Fuchun" rouge next time, and Linglong let go triumphantly.
"Girl, what are you proud of? Don't you see that bald head snickering?" Several people looked at Linglong like fools.
Zhang Liuzhu was really much more reliable than Li Tietou, and after a while, he brought a few bags of dim sum. In addition to Daifuku, there is also the most famous green tea cake of "Zhiweiju".
Si Chai opened all the dim sum and sent a plate of Dafu and green tea crisp to the master.
Mingzhu saw that the chubby Dafu was crystal cute, and couldn't help but pick up a piece and take a bite. "Well, good porcelain, good porcelain" is smooth and soft, and the red bean paste is full of sweetness. Another bite, finished eating. Mingzhu swallowed her saliva, thought about it and couldn't help but take another piece.
Wei Ci saw his wife's greedy appearance and felt very cute, so he took a piece of Dafu and handed it to Mingzhu's mouth dotingly.
Mingzhu struggled hard in her heart, but still refused: "Forget it, I can't eat anymore." Turning his head to the side forcefully, he saw a few girls biting Dafuku, so he swallowed his saliva and turned his head back.
In her previous life, Mingzhu had high blood sugar during pregnancy in the late stages of pregnancy, and the scumbag was busy playing games, so she could only prick her fingers with a blood collection needle every day to measure her blood sugar. Calculate your diet calories by grams at each meal, and sometimes wake up hungry in the middle of the night. And so it all persevered.
And now, without a blood glucose meter, Mingzhu only needs to pay attention to as little sugar as possible every day, less salt and less fat. It's just that whether it's high blood sugar or a large fetus, it's likely to be fatal for her now. Bear with me.
Wei Ci was a little distressed, but after thinking about it, he put down the dim sum, and now he endures it more, and the survival rate during childbirth can be higher.
Mingzhu didn't want to see a few people eating delicious food, so she tried to distract herself: "Did the poems downstairs come up?" ”
"Hand it over," Si Jin handed over the two pieces of paper: "They think that these two songs are inseparable, and they want to ask the princess to decide." ”
Mingzhu took it and looked at it, and the handwriting was graceful and elegant, which read: "Shake the apricot blossom wind, and the sun will be light and cloudy sooner." The silk tube slowly follows the sandalwood board, and you can watch the dancing waist return to the snow.
The dragon boat is idle to draw the bridge, and it is necessary to take advantage of the flowers. Frequently advise the wine glass to be full, and the song is beginning to be clear."
Mingzhu was a little speechless, "This Zhao Bailian is this moth again." Are you afraid that others won't know that she has taken a fancy to Li Xiuyuan? Can't be a little more reserved? ”
Thrown aside, another song was opened: "The dragon is upstream in the water, but I don't know it's the Mulan boat." The cloud banner hunts and overturns the green man, and the thunder drum is noisy and the blue stream."
Mingzhu handed the paper to his side, Wei Ci took it and looked at it, only to see that the handwriting on the paper was uninhibited and fierce: "This one is good, some momentum." ”
"Let's do it." Mingzhu asked Linglong to send down the couplet that had been written in advance.
Linglong swallowed the snack in her mouth, took the couplet and went downstairs.
Everyone downstairs had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Linglong, they all came around.
"My princess thinks Li Gongzi's dragon boat poems are better. This is the winner's lottery, and the son collects it. ”
Everyone actually expected this result, after all, not blind people can see that the artistic conception of the poem is more than one grade higher than the words. The reason why it was handed over was just for the sake of Zhao Bailian's face.
At this time, everyone scrambled to open the couplet: "The sun is on the Dragon Boat Festival, and the sun is seen under the water during the Qingming Festival; The night weather is very cold, and the frost obstructs the eaves of the house into light snow."
"Wonderful, Her Royal Highness the princess is really the first talented woman in the south."
Then everyone scrambled to tout, and half-truths spread the reputation of this talented woman.
Rise and come, and return with joy.
Mingzhu and his party rushed back to the house before dinner, and when they entered the door, the porter handed over a post.
On the eighth day of the fifth month, Qin Huaiyu added makeup and asked Mingzhu to come to the house.
"Hey, it's time to do it again. Let's start with a whole pair of autumn pants."
