Yuan Li saw that the maid wanted to say something, straightened his chest and stood up: "I don't know what the princess asked Wen Cairen to say?" ”

The maid looked at a eunuch who came out to talk to her, swept the clothes on his body, and immediately laughed with a cold face: "I don't know who this father-in-law is?" "This is certainly not a father-in-law of a talented man.

"The miscellaneous family was ordered by Concubine Shu to come to serve Wen Cairen." Yuan Li Lang said.

At this moment, not only the maid heard it, but also the women who approached the boat. Turned his head and looked.

"Then the slave and maid will go back to the crown princess." The maid looked at everyone and looked over, saluted Yuan Li and Wen Qingwu, and withdrew.

The boat was full of people, and the trees on both sides were green, and the people on the boat chose their seats and sat down, and began to check their oars.

Out of the tree came four tall and burly men.

Wen Qingwu took a closer look, and recognized that the one wearing the apricot yellow suit was Li Tai, the fourth prince of Wei, and the one wearing the dark color suit was Li Ying, the king of Liang, the sixth prince, and two people, one was wearing a purple suit and the other was wearing a big Zhu suit.

These are all the colors of the heavens. These four boats are also the boats of the Son of Heaven.

"Who's that?" Wen Qingwu pointed to the burly middle-aged man in the big Zhu battle suit and asked softly.

Liuji lowered his body, took a closer look, and replied in a low voice: "Master, that's the general of the left leading army, Lu Guogong Chen Zhijie." ”

Hearing this, Wen Qingwu's eyes suddenly lit up. Looking at the burly man in vermilion clothes.

Chen Zhijie, formerly known as Biting Jin, later changed his name to Zhijie, the word Yizhen, a native of Jeju Donga. The founding general of the Tang Dynasty and one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

"The Epitaph of the Late Hussar General Lu Guogong Cheng Jun of the Tang Dynasty" has a saying: Flying around the stars, holding the sun and auspicious. Hongyuan Junyuan, Qingxu primate. Wen Qingwu looked at the middle-aged man in Zhu Yi, and suppressed the corners of his mouth that he couldn't suppress to rise, and finally met a character who was exactly the same as what was recorded in the history books of his previous life. And he is still a famous hussar general.

"What about the other one?" Wen Qingwu pointed to the middle-aged man in the purple suit and asked.

Ruji looked at the man and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The slave doesn't know either. ”

Wen Qingwu was about to give up, when he heard a woman in his ear say: "That's Xu Zheng, the commander of Jingfu County." ”

Wen Qingwu turned her head when she heard this, and looked at the crown princess Su Jinli, who walked to her table and sat down calmly.

"Although it is only a county order, Xu Zheng is different from the county master of the local six or seven grades. Served in the Beijing government, and the official position was on the fifth grade. ”

On the fifth grade, it is a big official rank in the central government.

Su Jinli sat down, smoothed his front coat, and looked at Wen Qingwu: "I didn't expect that talented people have such a great interest in racing." ”

"It's a rare spectacle, and it's naturally full of interest." Wen Qingwu watched Su Jinli sit down familiarly, turned his head and continued to look out the window, and didn't blame anything.

"It's every year, so why is it so rare?" Su Jinli followed and looked out the window. It's still the same place every year, on the same boat every year, the same color and team every year.

"This is the first time I've seen it." Wen Qingwu looked out the window quietly, with a bright light in his eyes. It was a joy from the heart, a joy that overflowed even when the emotions were suppressed and calmed down.

Su Jinli didn't know how Wen Qingwu was so interested in the race. I remembered the information I sent to check last night.

When he was a child, he was in Lizhou, Jingzhou with his father, and returned to Wenshui after his father's death. After the death of Empress Murong, the world was elected. Wen Shihua's daughter Jin couldn't bear the bullying of her brother and sister-in-law and recommended herself to the palace.

The high walls of the deep palace, it is normal to have never seen the imperial city race.

"You're very different from women your age." Su Jinli looked at Wen Qingwu's beautiful side face and said.

Wen Qingwu turned his head, glanced at Su Jinli, and then looked at Changhe: "The crown princess is also not an ordinary person. ”

Su Jinli looked at the noisy boat: "I thought you didn't come up to shirk and play chess, but it turned out that you really wanted to watch the race."

In that case, follow me to the boat on the second floor. It's pure, and you can see far away. ”

Wen Qingwu turned his head and looked at Su Jinli: "What about the chess game?" ”

"Don't worry, it's never too late to get off after the race." Su Jinli stretched out his hand and stood up with the help of the maid next to him: "Let's go." ”

Wen Qingwu stood up and followed, and walked out with Su Jinli under the envious eyes of many women on the boat.

It is not as spacious as the first floor of the boat, and the second floor is a little smaller, but there are many compartments, which are vertically opened with picture screens. Wen Qingwu followed Su Jinli in a room surrounded by sandalwood carved painting screens. Next to the carved jade window is a piece of yellow rosewood low case.

There is a picture screen next to it, and although you can't see the figure in the picture screen compartment, you can still hear some noise.

Wen Qingwu glanced at the picture screen, quickly regained his expression, sat down with Su Jinli, and turned his head to look out of the window of the carved railing.

The four dragon boats have been set aside in a row, stopped on the water, and everyone on the boat has already sat upright, holding the long pulp in their hands just waiting for the order.

The people standing under the banners on both sides of the strait stood straight at the waist, holding the flag in their hands and motionless.

The drummers had already raised their hammers and looked intently at the soldiers standing on the front desk with trumpets.

And the soldier, now with his mouth to the horn, stared intently at the window on the third floor of the ship.

Compared with the first floor, the look and feel is really much better.

Thinking about it like this, Wen Qingwu was really thinking about whether to do something or not, anyway, he didn't violate the law. At best, it's a loss of etiquette.

Hearing a sound next to him, Wen Qingwu turned his head and looked at Su Jinli, who was already holding a lacquered wood chessboard on the desk on the opposite side, holding the black and white chess pieces made by Wen Yu in his hand and starting to fall.

Su Jinli slowly put the chess pieces in his hand in the chessboard, and the appearance was the game that had not been played that day.

Wen Qingwu looked up at Su Jinli inquiringly.

Su Jinli took care of himself and placed the chess pieces, and said, "I just set them up first, so as not to hinder you from watching the race." ”

There was the sound of clothes brushing against the compartment, followed by a soft cough.

Wen Qingwu looked at Su Jinli, Su Jinli seemed to have never heard the sound of the compartment, and his face did not change and he was seriously arranging the chess game.

Suddenly, the sound of trumpets and whining pierced through the noisy mountains and lakes.

Wen Qingwu turned his head to look out the window. Although she was far away, she still saw that the soldiers sitting on the boat and wearing the clothes of the Son of Heaven straightened their backs instantly, and the drummers standing on the shore raised their drums high at the same time.

The whining and roaring horn stopped, the drum hammer fell, and the drum beat went straight to the sky, and the soldiers holding the flag shook the flag in their hands, and the wind blew by the lake, and the flag whirred!

The people on the four dragon boats began to shake their oars at the same time, and rushed out like arrows from the string!

Wen Qingwu was shocked by this scene.

"How?" Su Jinli didn't know when he had set up the chessboard, sat upright and looked out of the window with Wen Qingwu: "What is the difference between it and your Wenshui race?" ”

She didn't know where Wen Shui was, Wen Qingwu laughed, looked at the crowded lake outside the window, and couldn't help muttering: "When the chin agitates, Lei Lingling, the beast's head is slightly snowy." Break through the outstanding people, jump over the waves and compete for the first bird to retreat. The rushing waves highlight the crowd, and the leaping waves compete to be the first to retreat. (Note 1)

"You can also compose poetry?" Su Jinli exclaimed: "Poetry is like a scene everywhere, and the scene follows the poet." ”

"Isn't the crown princess already in the situation?" Wen Qingwu said.

Su Jinli choked and nodded, "Yes." ”

An inaudible chuckle came from the compartment, which quickly subsided again.
