Chapter 50: Accidents
The spring breeze was blowing, with a little wetness, Mu Mingshu gently brushed the messy hair blowing on his cheeks behind his ears with his little finger, and chuckled: "In this way, His Royal Highness King Rui and Miss Liu of the Bai family are still childhood sweethearts." ”
"Sort of." Yang Qinghe laughed briskly.
The two stood side by side on the plywood, holding the fence of the ship with both hands, smiling at each other, and then looking at the vast moat.
They were paid out by Bai Youling, and on such a special day today, she said that she had something to say to Zhao Yiheng, as long as she was a clear-eyed person, she would know what it was.
Mu Mingshu was not familiar with this girl from the Bai family, but he heard it from Yang Qinghe's mouth.
There is only one Bai family in most of the capital, which can be so low-key that people can't notice its existence, but when it comes to the Bai family, no one dares to underestimate it, although the Bai family has always been low-key and does things, but it does not affect his status in Dadu at all, this is the Bai Guogong, the mother family of the former queen.
Zhao Yiheng's biological mother has a low status, but he has been raised in front of the former queen since he was a child, and it is normal to have a relationship with the Bai family, and it is also appropriate to have a childhood sweetheart with Bai Youling, a girl from the Bai family.
Mu Shaoai, a girl who has just fallen in love, is human nature, but Mu Mingshu sighed for her, what a good girl, but she has thoughts about Zhao Yiheng, a prodigal son like Zhao Yiheng, it is really a flower inserted in cow dung, oh, no, Zhao Yiheng may not even be cow dung.
In her eyes, this Zhao Yiheng is really not even a thing, frivolous and rude, and he speaks lightly to people at every turn, uh, even with his hands and mouths lightly, and I don't know how many girls have been in his way.
"Mingshu, did you say Sister Youling ......" Yang Qinghe looked curiously at the closed rear hatch and grinned.
"Unknown." Mu Mingshu doesn't care about Zhao Yiheng and Bai Youling at all, if Zhao Yiheng is interested in her, it is a lover who will eventually become a family, if it is unintentional to her, then it is even more necessary to burn three pillars of high incense.
While the two were talking, they heard a rhythmic drumming sound not far away, and Yang Qinghe clapped his hands with joy: "Okay, it's time to start the boat." ”
At this time, there were five large ships parked by the moat, each of which was about the same size and similar in pattern, the only difference being the signage.
De, is the palace of the Prince of De; Yang, is the Yang State Mansion; White, is the mansion of the White State; Xu is the family of the fifth princess, the mansion of the Marquis of Xu; The capital is the official ship of the imperial court.
Five ships, five logos, representing five different forces.
The sound of the drums became more and more rapid, and soon the young men and girls watching from the shore had smiles on their faces, and they stepped into different boats, waiting for the sound of the gong to start sailing.
Seeing that there were more and more people on the boat, Yang Qinghe stood on tiptoe and searched the crowd, pointed to the official boat and said with a smile: "Ming Shu, look at Ming Luo and Ming Xiao, they must have listened to your aunt's words and went to the official ship." ”
Looking in the direction of her fingers, I really saw Mu Mingluo and Mu Mingxiao, holding hands, talking to a girl in a pink dress, Mu Mingshu covered her lips and smiled, it was really her aunt's style.
The head Mu Mingluo was talking to the girl in the pink dress, Mu Mingxiao was bored and looked up, inadvertently saw Mu Mingshu, and raised his hand to shake her a few times, but was torn off by Mu Mingluo, whispered a few words in her ear, and saw the two sisters both looking at Mu Mingshu.
Mu Mingshu smiled at them, and was pulled by Yang Qinghe's sleeve again: "Mingshu, your brother is also in the official ship." ”
swept it away, and really saw Wen Ziran, who was out of step with the crowd, only to see him with his hands behind his back, his eyes looking at the calm water surface of the moat, and he didn't even see Mu Mingshu's gaze.
Mu Mingshu retracted his gaze and smiled lightly: "I'm afraid it's my aunt who catches the ducks on the shelves." ”
"Why?" Yang Qinghe's cheeks suddenly reddened, and he asked curiously: "Your brother should be in his twenties, what's the ......?"
Mu Mingshu smiled: "Fate has not yet arrived. ”
The two of them spoke a few more words, but they only heard the sound of a big gong, and the five boats on the moat started one after another.
On March 3 every year, there is a horse race in the racecourse, a cultural fight for mountaineering, and a racing competition for river swimming.
So what kind of men and women are guarding against it has become a nonsense today, and it is extremely normal for teenagers and girls to talk to each other, as long as they don't make any dirty things, no one will pay attention to them.
Yang Qinghe and Mu Mingshu stood in the most corner, but as soon as the people heard the name of "Xianhui County Lord", they left with an embarrassed smile.
The name of the county lord of Qinghe is very useful, but Yang Qinghe can't look down on it, and no one dares to step forward with a whip.
Mu Mingshu smiled at Yang Qinghe and said, "The two of us are here to join in the fun." ”
Yang Qinghe smiled and did not speak, neither denying nor admitting it.
The sound of drumming rhythmically came into the ears, and the five ships also competed to show their strength on the vast river.
The ship was about to travel a third of the way, and the door of the rear cabin finally opened, Zhao Yiheng still came out of it with a cynical expression, and saw Mu Mingshu and Yang Qinghe shaking the white jade fracture fan in their hands and said with a smile: "The little girl has grown up." Then he touched the top of Yang Qinghe's head: "There is a feeling that the cabbage that has been planted so hard has been arched by pigs." ”
After speaking, he smiled flirtatiously at Mu Mingshu and raised his eyebrows, with a trace of unknown deep meaning hidden in his phoenix eyes.
He said this inexplicably, and he didn't know who he was talking about, but Yang Qinghe blushed suddenly, but Mu Mingshu was expressionless as if his face was paralyzed.
Zhao Yiheng looked at it and saw that there was nothing wrong, but he felt that there was something wrong with him, and Mu Mingshu couldn't see what was wrong.
When Bai Youling came out, Zhao Yiheng had already gone to the front to talk to those girls, only to see that her eyes were wet, the tip of her nose was red, and she had cried at a glance, but despite this, her eyes followed Zhao Yiheng for a while before withdrawing.
"Sister Youling, what's wrong?" Yang Qinghe grabbed Bai Youling's arm, and his words were full of worry.
"Nothing." Bai Youling gently patted the back of Yang Qinghe's hand, and there was a slight nasal voice in her voice: "It's windy on the river, so I'm not very comfortable." ”
He said to Mu Mingshu again: "The lord of Xianhui County smiled." ”
Mu Mingshu didn't care too much, and said with a smile: "Youling just call me Mingshu, but calling the county lord is rusty." ”
Bai Youling smiled energetically: "Sister Mingshu." ”
No one knows what Zhao Yiheng and Bai Youling said in the back cabin, but judging from Bai Youling's strong fighting spirit, it is obviously not pleasant.
Yang Qinghe and Mu Mingshu had a tacit understanding not to mention this matter, talking about gossip and gossip, and unconsciously talked about Shen Chuyao.
"My fourth cousin-in-law doesn't seem to be here today." Yang Qinghe rubbed the long whip on his waist, and said with a slight smile: "It's because I think it's wrong, she has already decided on a family affair, so naturally she can't come." ”
Bai Youling, who was a little older Yang Qinghe, looked at Mu Mingshu's face, afraid that she would be unhappy when she heard it, and when she saw that her face was as usual, she was relieved and said, "No one from Shenhou Mansion came out this year. ”
From last winter's month to March this year, there has been a steady stream of things about Zhao Yiyi, the king of Chen, Shen Chuyao, the second girl of the Shen family, and Mu Mingshu, the county lord of Xianhui.
King Chen Zhao Yiyan was also banned in the mansion to recuperate, and Shen Chuyao was treated violently in the princess's mansion last time, and now he is still unpopular, plus about the reputation of the Shen Mansion, it is not surprising that no one from the Shen Mansion came out this time.
"I heard that Shen Chuyao's marriage date with her fourth cousin has been advanced." Yang Qinghe said as if unintentionally and intentionally.
It really made Mu Mingshu look sideways: "When did you mention it?" ”
Yang Qinghe was about to speak, when he heard a burst of cheers, and when he looked sideways, he saw a bunch of teenagers on the ship of the Xuhou Mansion next door were frolicking together, and the boats of the Xuhou Mansion also overtook the ships of the Baiguo Mansion where they were at a considerable speed, and they heard bursts of cheers again.
"Childish." Yang Qinghe pursed his lips, and then heard a noise from the ships of the Baiguo Mansion, and even surrounded the young people, as if they were against the ships of the Xuhou Mansion, shouting and cheering vigorously.
"Childish." Yang Qinghe pouted again: "There is really no one who can get into my eyes, but there are some people who can't be on the stage." ”
But a person's face appeared inexplicably in his heart, and that person's name flashed in his mind, and he sighed: "To marry someone, you must marry a virtuous person." ”
Her words caused Mu Mingshu and Bai Youling to laugh, and they said in unison: "Which one do you like to be on the table?" ”
Yang Qinghe blushed so much by the two of them that he didn't speak, only glared at them.
Another burst of cheers came, and the ships of the Duke of Baiguo threw the ships of the Xuhou Mansion behind them, and maintained such a speed, without causing the other ships to overtake.
I could faintly hear someone discussing excitedly: "We're just afraid that we're going to win the first place." ”
But not long after the words fell, the hull of the ship was violently hit from the side, and the young men and girls who were still immersed in the joy of victory suddenly panicked, there were screams, there were angry roars, mixed with crying, and the whole scene was chaotic.
The more chaotic the scene became, the more uncontrollable it became, the hull tilted sideways, lost its balance, and everyone fell straight down on one side, and some of those who had never grasped the life-saving straw fell into the water mixed with frightened screams.
"Bang"
The ship suddenly collided and stopped, and the ships of Prince De's Mansion at the back could not stop for a while, and hit the ships of the Xuhou Mansion from behind, and the ships of the Baiguo Mansion at the front were hit again, and a large hole had been carved out of the hull, and the river water poured into the hull at an alarming speed.
