Chapter 18 17: Flower Boat Encounter
Not many days, it is almost the Dragon Boat Festival, the Imperial City of Nanyue is a festive place, it is already ten thousand lights, and the envoys of Cangyue also arrived in the Imperial City the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, and lived in the envoy's post station to rest temporarily.
According to the customs of previous years, the Dragon Boat Festival is to enter the palace to participate in the dinner party and the emperor and the queen mother together, so the Zhan family will generally have a family banquet together the day before, and the parents are still lively when they are there.
Or hang out with her.
Although it was not yet time, the pedestrians and decorations on the street were already in a joyous mood, and the two of them took a mask that they had bought from a vendor and wandered around the street.
January and others disguised themselves as ordinary pedestrians and followed around,
"Big brother, I want some lamb skewers!" Zhan Qing stared at the fragrant and tender mutton that was roasted, thinking that it was good that he didn't eat much, so he left his stomach to come out to eat.
"Okay, but not more, only ten!" Zhan Jiang was dressed in a white shirt, his tone was full of connivance, and he rubbed the top of the girl's hair that only reached his shoulder.
So he took the money and gave it to the vendor, who smiled and wrapped ten skewers of mutton for the two of them.
"Welcome back next time."
Zhan Qing turned the mask to his forehead, took two skewers from Zhan Jiang's hand and began to eat, heartless.
Zhanjiang looked at her like this, but shook her head helplessly, she was really a little girl.
There are many people at Qinhuai River Station who are putting sky lanterns, and there are also people boating on it, or directly chartering a flower boat to drink and have fun on it, and some people even invite the top brands of the fireworks land to play the piano and compose music.
"Do you want to go boating?" After helping Zhan Qing release the sky lantern, Zhan Jiang turned his head and asked Zhan Qingdao.
"Okay."
Zhan Qing readily agreed.
After a while, the two bought tickets for the flower boat, got on the boat, Zhan Qing looked around, basically no acquaintances, thought about it, on this day, most of the ministers are arranging the clothes and decorations for the family to enter the palace tomorrow, and those peers who come out to walk around on weekdays are estimated to be under the care of their own parents.
Where is the Zhan family, there are only two people, no worries, and tomorrow they will dress like dogs.
This flower boat is shared, which means that the people who come up are very mixed, but most of them are businessmen with some spare money, or some sons and daughters from their families.
The people of the Imperial City of Nanyue prefer to tell stories and listen to music, and at this moment, it is a female gentleman in her early thirties who is talking about one of the most popular novels in the city in recent days.
"If you want to say that this female county lord, she has privately raised countless male pets, and she has been in chaos all day long, and the people on the fiefdom have been exploited and can't eat, and her younger brother is also extremely conniving as a monarch, and the two sisters and brothers are really not a family that does not enter the door......"
Zhan Qing and the two found an inconspicuous position to sit down, knocking melon seeds, and listening idly.
Flower boats glide slowly on the river, and from time to time, other flower boats pass by, or small boats paddle slowly underground.
"Big brother, I think this flower boat is really boring, why don't you rent a boat?" Zhan Qing listened drowsily, and only felt bored.
The narrow amber eyes drooped, looking at the girl with half-closed eyes and a hand supporting her chin, the young man bent his fingers and tapped her on the head, and said, "You can stop for me, and I should go back in a while."
"Then you can go back by yourself!" Rubbing his eyes, Zhan Qing stretched lazily, grabbed the half-bowl of melon seeds on the table and ate them.
"Not for you!" The young man lifted his eyes to look at her, his eyes were cold and cold.
"It's not for me, but for my future sister-in-law? Don't be stingy, I'm your sister too! As he spoke, he unceremoniously grabbed a handful in his hand and put it in his hand, Zhan Qing smiled, knowing that it was because he didn't want to go back to annoy Zhanjiang, and there was a little smile on his face.
"What a coincidence, are you out to play too?" It's not loud, but it's familiar.
Zhan Qing turned his head and looked at the young man dressed in white, with clear and bright narrow phoenix eyes, it was Qin Shi.
Stunned for a moment, Zhan Qing nodded and replied, "It's a coincidence, do you want to sit?"
"Then you're welcome!" Qin Shi sat down, the three of them gathered around a table, he looked at the young man in a white robe with dark lines, and nodded slightly.
"Isn't the palace preparing for tomorrow's palace banquet today, how can you have time to come out?" Zhan Qing only felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and asked after taking a sip of tea.
On the other side, his eldest brother was in the direction that Qin Shi couldn't see, and he squeezed his eyebrows at her, not at all like the cold one just now.
"They were too busy, so I just slipped out." Qin Shi smiled, there was no loss on his face, but Zhan Qing suddenly remembered that this person was a waste prince, and the palace people naturally didn't want to care about him, let alone on such days, let alone have no time to care, and he still asked this kind of question.
