Chapter 67: Distress on the Lake

On the painting boat of King Jing's Mansion, Mu Qingyan looked at the dragon boat competing for the crossing, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Last year, the Yuyu Food Factory won 4 million taels of snowflake silver, which was used to transport and build embankments on the Fen River, so that the river would not endanger the coast, so that there was an abundance of rice and grain, and the storage was full. If Qingqi Winery wins alone this year, it can make Phoenix impregnable and protect half of the country from collapse.

"Haha, if my cousin wins, I'll have to squeeze him to invite everyone to watch the show!" Chu Ling danced with his hands.

Yan Xuechu twisted her eyebrows and threatened, "Ling'er, if the Jade Food Shop loses, I want you to look good!" ”

"If you have the ability, you two can row by yourself, there is a ghost to die here!" Mu Qingyan rolled her eyes and glared at the two of them for a while, and in a blink of an eye, she whimpered very unproductively: "Woo, my one hundred taels are going to be finished!" ”

Several people were not angry when she was counted down, but looked at her gloating with a look of chagrin.

"Qing'er won, please watch the show!" Chu Ling did not follow the way.

"If I win, how about asking a troupe to let you watch enough?" Yu Ranqing smiled forcefully, quite a little unbelievable.

Mu Qingyan was a little worried in her eyes, but she didn't dare to mention it, so she had to walk over and half-hug her, "Qing'er, I'll hide you when the time comes, and see how Ling'er can't find you and ask you to watch the show!" ”

"Mu Qingyan, are you missing a heart? Qing'er, please watch the play, then please watch it together! Chu Ling crossed his waist and opened a light cigarette.

Several people burst into laughter.

Chu Wei stood aside and watched, with seven points of disdain in her heart for a few people who had lost everyone's beautiful demeanor, but also two points of envy for their cheerful play.

Chu Mo stood on Chu Wei's side, the hatred in his eyes couldn't help but deepen, but he pretended to be well-behaved on the surface. was indignant in her heart, obviously Mu Qingyan quit the marriage, she should be ridiculed by the world, ashamed to see that people are, but she is still shameless and does what she wants, she is really not worth it for Cousin Yin.

Suddenly, she thought that she had designed Mu Qingyan but failed, but let Deng Min get her hands on it, and ruined Cousin Yin's marriage contract, she couldn't help but dislike Mu Qingyan for being useless. Now that the Nangong family and the Deng family are discussing marriage, what kind of thing is Deng Min, who dares to be the eldest daughter-in-law of Yijian Villa?

Although she was born in King Jing's Mansion, she is a concubine, and no one is willing to fight for anything for her, even if she has long been in love with Nangong Yin. Therefore, her eyes when she looked at Chu Ling also carried three points of hatred.

On the contrary, the royal painting boat at the front was the quietest, and the princes and princesses tried their best to maintain their manners, looking at the excitement on the adjacent boats, and the attention on the dragon boat was much less.

Chu Jin was the most impatient, he could obviously be with everyone, but because Xiao Qingqing was going to be tied to the royal painting boat to suffer alive, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Qingqing hatefully.

Chu Li didn't say a word the whole time, and his eyes couldn't help but look for the pair of eyes he saw in the morning on the painting boat in King Jing's Mansion. However, the thin figure drowned in the crowd, and when she found it, she couldn't see the autumn water in her eyes, like scratching her boots, and the more she couldn't touch it, the more she longed for it. But in half a day, who was Miss Qing Yuanjia of Dali Temple, he probably forgot half of it.

Qin Yan was a little inexplicable, why was that figure so eye-catching? He could see it when he raised his eyes, there was no need to find it, it was useless to avoid it, she was there.

Halfway through the race, I could already see the tortoise king sitting on the Xie Yuan Pavilion on the other side.

At this time, there was a new change in the ranking on the water, the Eldest Princess's Mansion had fallen to the second position, the Jade Food Restaurant was far ahead of the distance of the two hulls, and the third place was Qingqi Winery, which followed closely with the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

However, in the blink of an eye, Qingyu Winery crossed the Eldest Princess's Mansion and struggled towards the finish line at a sprint speed. The drums of the food shop sounded a few minutes in an instant, urging the hands to sprint.

The distance between the two hulls was equalized by Qingyu Winery in just a breath, and it overtook the Jade Food Restaurant at a distance of 100 meters from the finish line, and was the first to hit the red silk at the finish line.

The leader of Qingzhen Winery tore off the big red silk flower and tied it to the dragon's head, and the twenty-four people in the boat raised their oars to celebrate.

The people on all the boats on both sides were silent.

"Lord Lingjun, you pay me back eight hundred taels, it's all you, otherwise I will buy Qingqi Winery and win!" Mu Qingyan was the first to attack with a crying tone, and at the same time, all the people on the painting boat suddenly exploded.

"Dark horse, dark horse, clear dark horse!"

"Qingzhen, Qingqing, dark horse Qingzhen!"

King Jue personally signed the first name in his hand to the leader of Qingqi Winery, "This king announced that this year, Qingqing Winery won the first class, and the emperor personally gave a pair of purple gold dragon boat oars, one hundred taels of gold!" ”

Erjia is a jade food restaurant, and the emperor gave a pair of golden dragon boat oars and fifty taels of gold.

The top three is the eldest princess's mansion, and the reward is thirty taels of gold.

The last one is the Decepticon Dart Bureau, the emperor treated him favorably, rewarded a thousand taels of snowflake pattern silver, and was a blessing in disguise.

Xiang Tianqi was ridiculed pitifully by everyone, and reluctantly agreed to invite everyone to the Jade Restaurant to feast all night.

It took another half a day of trouble on the shore before it dispersed.

The crowd was in high spirits and boarded the boat again.

Chu Ling and several young ladies went up to the top room of the cabin, put down the snacks, and rebrewed the newly picked Longjing tea this spring. A few people sat down, and Mu Qingyan took the tea soup handed by Shuang'er and took a shallow sip.

The tea is the best in the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately it is broken.

Chu Jin couldn't help but love the lively temperament, and as soon as the dragon boat race was over, he couldn't wait to fly back to his painting boat immediately. Yesterday, I have bought a lot of good wine from Qingzhen Wine, and I am just waiting for an indulgence in this picturesque world today.

The crown prince Chu Yue was not suitable for feasting with everyone because of his identity, so he took King Jue, King Xun and King Jue back to the city first.

Mu Qinghan lost his whereabouts, Chu Jin asked a few people who didn't know, and finally Jing Liang said that he was in a hurry and left first.

Qin Yan got on the escort ship, leaving three ships under the command of Cheng Lei, the deputy general of the Praetorian Guard, to protect the nobles of the Jingwang Mansion, and he accompanied the prince back with the speedboat.

In fact, it was only five days before Qin Yan's wedding, and everyone knew that he intended to avoid it, but they didn't persuade him and went with him.

Xiao Qingqing followed Chu Jin every step of the way, and Chu Jin didn't care, anyway, if she couldn't get rid of her, she would follow if she liked to.

Chu Li and Chu Jue also moved to the painting boat of King Jing's Mansion, and the seventh princess took the ninth princess Chu Qiang to follow on the grounds that it was inconvenient for Princess Qingqing and a woman to enter and exit.

The boat of the eldest princess's mansion carried the ladies of each family back, but the small drama placed on the boat earlier was called by Jing Liang to the painting boat of the Jingwang Mansion.

There is a lot of smoke on Mochou Lake, like a drizzle.

Chu Jin asked Chu Ling and a few young ladies to watch a small play, and several people did not refuse, and went downstairs together.

Everyone first gave a salute to King Li, King Yu, the Seventh Princess, the Ninth Princess, and Princess Qingqing.

Chu Li looked at Mu Qingyan, who was short and gave a salute, no matter how you look at it, it is not a rule, and the etiquette is not a courtesy, "Today's trip together, you don't have to be stubborn, just have fun." He folded the fan half-hidden to the end of his nose and whispered.

"I know that the sixth brother loves me the most! If you frighten my friend, I will not obey you! Chu Ling trotted past everyone, lightly holding Chu Li's arm and sprinkling coquettishly, with a smile on his face like a summer flower.

Chu Li pinched her nose, "You, when will you be able to restrain yourself from being naughty!" He was a little fond of being spoiled by iron and steel, and only this cousin with a true temperament was closer to him.

They laughed and saluted, and the deck became lively. The little play, with a little monkey, played on the spacious deck, performing various collars. After the same little scene, he gave it a red date, and it held and gnawed with its two paws, and looked at everyone curiously with its two big eyes.

The painting boat gradually drifted away, and the towering green hills began to appear on both sides of the strait. The lake is deep and narrow in the water rush, and the painting boat is slow in front, and the escort boat follows behind.

The banquet began, and all the sons of the family abandoned their identity differences under Chu Jin's call and sat together. Whether it's poetry or fu, or song or song, there's always something to talk about.

Mu Qingyan leaned on the side of the boat and lowered his head to pry the water, and suddenly had a sense of vigilance of being peeping, as if he was staring at him. She didn't look up, squinting her eyes to the point of perception.

Half an hour later, nothing was found. She secretly wondered, could it be that she was too vigilant? Inadvertently turned around, another gaze dodged instantly, and she looked at the place where the gaze came from with some astonishment, it turned out to be him......

She didn't see it, and there was another gaze that had already converged when she turned around, and only the corners of her mouth were half mocking.

She withdrew her hand and shook it lightly, thinking to herself that if she wiped her hands with her skirt, there would be a few points left of her girlfriend's reputation. When the corners of his mouth were half-cracked and he wanted to smile, a strong wind broke through the air with the power of cracking stones.

Before she could think about it, a bead on the tip of her shoe was already clasped in her palm, and before she could make a move, the strong wind had a tendency to pass her diagonally to the left front. With the wind shooting out of Dongzhu, he calculated the force when the two collided, and deflected the dark arrow. Dongzhu flew in pieces, and the arrow pierced through the shirt on Yuzhanqing's left shoulder from behind, and landed on the deck after unloading its strength.

There was an uproar all over the ship. Yu Ranqing snorted and fell under the side of the boat, covering the three fingers of her right hand at the left shoulder, dripping with blood.

After the first arrow was successful, the archer on the hill volleyed a few more arrows, but none of them entered the crowd and fell into the water while brushing the painting boat.

The accompanying guards blocked the boat, and some people went into the water to swim ashore. Mu Qingyan looked at the man standing on a high place and watched the boat panic, and fled unhurriedly towards the mountain.

When she was in a mess, someone pushed Mu Qingyan from behind, she instinctively grabbed the railing, and her body was already out of the side of the boat. Squinting and thinking to herself, she knew who the person was without looking back, and the incense all over her body made her feel upset every time she approached her.

The man behind him didn't give up, and hit her hard again, and she grabbed the man's skirt as she fell into the lake with that force, regardless of the man's screams, and both fell into the lake.

After entering the water, she pretended to be drowning, hugged the man's struggling body, and sank to the bottom of the lake. Someone has already entered the water to save her, and if you want to harm her, you have to pay some price.

The painting boat was messed up into a pot of porridge.

Seeing Mu Qingyan falling into the water, Dongfang Fengjue plunged into the lake without hesitation.

Followed by Nangong Hao and Jing Liang, they also entered the water to save people.

Linglong was about to jump down on the second floor of the painting boat, but was grabbed by Amber and whispered in her ear, "You are still a swimmer in Miss Church, don't panic!" ”

Linglong was still so anxious that she was jumping to her feet, crying with snot and tears.

Amber held her heart and grasped the railing with both hands, her body trembling slightly, staring at the surface of the lake with her eyes.

Chu Jin yelled and asked the people who knew the water to go down and look carefully. He was worried in his heart, Chu Mo had something to do, if Mu Qingyan had the slightest mistake, Mu Zheng would definitely go to King Jing's Mansion to fight with him, I was afraid that it would not be enough to lose his life.

Chu Li commanded the sailors in a calm voice to divide some people to look for them farther away. and issued a death order: if you can't find both of her today, you don't have to come back.

Mu Qingyan controlled Chu Mo's life and death, and only lifted her out of the water from below when she was already at her limit, and heard someone shouting above her to swim towards her. With Chu Mo's body covering him, he changed his breath, threw away his hand and dived into the water again, and quickly escaped.

Jing Liang took Chu Mo back to the boat, put her head and feet on a high table, spit out some water to relieve her breath after a while, and cried loudly.

Chu Wei asked the maid to take a robe and put it on her, and comforted her.

Chu Mo stopped crying, sobbing and choking a little aggrieved, "Brother Jin, Miss Namu is so bad-hearted, and she has to pull me up when she falls into the water, wow......"

Chu Jin didn't have the slightest heart to listen to her grievances at this time, and her eyes didn't leave the lake for a moment. Chu Mo was rescued, but there was no trace of Mu Qingyan, and there was already twelve points of anxiety in his heart.
