Chapter 499: Dragon Boat Race
Not to mention the prince's palace and military camp, it is the Dragon Boat Festival in a blink of an eye.
In the eyes of the ancients, May was regarded as the poisonous month, among them, the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the sixth day of the first month, the seventh day of the first month, the fifteenth, the sixteenth, the seventeenth and the twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth, and twenty-seventh, these nine days are the "nine poisonous days of heaven and earth", and the day of the Dragon Boat Festival is the first of the nine poisonous days!
Therefore, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, it is often necessary to drink realgar wine and insert wormwood...... In this way, it is used to ward off evil spirits and drive away poison.
On the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Fusuni was busy in the house and made a lot of zongzi.
The leaves of the wrapped zongzi are transplanted with the leaves transplanted in the spiritual realm, and after the mutation, they become narrow and short, and the wrapped zongzi is only a little larger than the thumb, small and delicate.
After ordinary leaves are steamed, the color will become dark and dark, which is not very beautiful. After the mutated leaves are cooked, the color is still green and fresh, and it looks like a pendant carved from jasper.
And the aroma of the mutated leaves is more fragrant and rich than that of ordinary leaves, which greatly increases people's appetite.
Fusuni sent people to the palace and relatives and friends to deliver some, and after tasting them everywhere, they were full of praise.
Of course, Fusuni would not eat the return gifts sent from all over the place, and all of them were given to the minions in the house.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Fusuni and Brother Jiu dressed up and came to Fuhai next to Changchun Garden to watch the dragon boat race.
The guards who participated in the dragon boat race were all guards in the palace, and they were divided into several groups, such as the imperial guards, the Qianqingmen guards, the Shanpu camp, the Changchun Garden guards, the Nanyuan guards, and the Xiyuan guards, and competed together.
At this time of year, the princes and ministers would open a plate and bet on which team would win.
"Master, who will win if you buy it?"
Brother Jiu said with great interest: "Master bought the Changchun Garden guards this year. ”
"Aren't the guards of Changchun Garden the fourth in ten thousand years, how could the master buy them?"
In the annual dragon boat race, the three guards of the Imperial Palace, the guards of the Qianqing Gate, and the Shanpu Camp won the top three, and basically none of them could win the championship. And the Changchun Garden guards, Nanyuan guards, and Xiyuan guards are basically "friendship first, competition second".
After all, the three imperial guards, the Qianqingmen guards, and the Shanpu Camp are treated better than other places alone, and they are all descendants of Kangxi's lineage, and no matter what the strength of the other places is, first of all, their courage is much weaker.
Brother Jiu said mysteriously: "This year, the commander of the guards of Changchun Garden is a stunned man, and he has worked hard to train the guards of Changchun Garden, and let out his words, saying that this time he will overturn all the guards in front of the palace, the guards of the Qianqing Gate, and the camp of Shanpu!" ”
"The commander of the guards of Changchun Garden, if the concubine remembers well, it is Ayan Jueluo Tulichen, right?"
"It's him, now the imperial guards, the Qianqingmen guards, and the Shanpu camp have been ventilated, and they want to give the Changchun Garden guards a good look. Haha, this year is lively, no one buys Changchun Garden guards, but I think Tu Lichen's courage is commendable, maybe he can turn the tables? ”
Fu Suni asked, "In that case, the odds of the Changchun Garden guards should be very high?" ”
Brother Jiu stretched out two fingers and said, "One to ten, the master bought two hundred taels." ”
Fu Suni smiled: "Since the master is optimistic about Tu Lichen, then the concubine will also buy some with the master." Xia Yang, you go and buy me two hundred taels of Changchun Garden guards. If the Changchun Garden guards win, it will be a year's worth for the master, and this business will be done. ”
If Fu Suni is not mistaken, Ayan Jueluo Tu Lichen has been trusted and reused by the two emperors Kangxi and Yongzheng, can such a person be a dumbfounded? I'm afraid it's almost the same!
Fusuni felt that the Changchun Garden guards still had a good chance of winning.
