Dragon Boat Festival

Back to my residence, Bihe and Xiaolan were sewing purses, I was bored and took the book and read it for a while, thinking that it only rained yesterday why it is still so hot today, because the business of the hot pot restaurant is not very good because of the hot weather, in our summer hot pot business is also good, because there is air conditioning, I myself especially enjoy the feeling of eating hot pot with air conditioning and sweating, here I think no one wants to eat such a spicy hot pot on such a hot day, I looked at the ice cubes on the table that gradually melted, Thinking about when to sneak out and discuss a countermeasure with Jotun.

The next day of the Dragon Boat Festival, early in the morning Eniang sent a tiger charm and five poison purse, Bihe helped me tie the tiger talisman, after hanging the purse, I went to Fujin to ask for peace, today the house prepared a banquet to have a reunion dinner, this is the first time I have seen people gather so together, and everyone sits around to eat, Ama Fujin a table, Eniang and a few Shu Fujin a table, a few brothers a table, I and a Yuetara table, a few sisters-in-law in Fujin to serve a banquet, the meal is very rich, all kinds of seasonal vegetables and fruits, snacks, of course, there are all kinds of zongzi, Because everyone was very restrained when eating with Ama Fujin, the meal was tasteless, and finally after the banquet, everyone saluted as if they were burdened.

After I went back, I sat in the room and didn't want to move, Bihe brought a basin of ice in and put it on the table and said, "It's not so hot for a while", I got up and asked, "Where is Xiaolan?" Xiaolan lifted the curtain and came in and said with a smile: "Xiaolan is here!" What do you have to say? I said: "You and Bihe are waiting here, I'll take you out in a while" After speaking, I went out to Eniang's "Yiranju". Ama is really here in Eniang, I entered the house and saluted: "Amma, today's Dragon Boat Festival, Youning wants to go to the temple to incense and pray for the family", Amma looked at me and smiled: "If you want to go out to play, just say it, why bother looking for these reasons, we are full of people who have so many rules as their Han people, Ama will give you an afternoon off", Ama seems to be in a good mood today, I didn't expect him to let me out so easily Busy Fu said: "Youning knows, Xie Ama", and said to Eniang Fujin: "That Youning retired", Ama said: " Slow down", I thought to myself, it won't be another hexagram! But I heard Amma say: "Let people follow, don't come back too late", I said "yes" and hurriedly withdrew.

It's great to be able to come out in a bright light, I didn't take the carriage in the house and Bihe Xiaolan walked on foot, we walked to Houhai, the willow trees on the side of the sea are very cool, Bihe pointed to a mansion not far away and said: "Miss, that's Nalan Mansion", I looked at Bihe's hand, that is the Nalan Mansion that topped the name in the later generations? It turns out that Rong Ruo and I are so close, what is Rong Ruo doing now? The three of us were here for a while, I looked at Haizi's cruise ship and said, "Let's not go to see anything" Dragon Boat Race, "There are so many people and it's hot, I don't know if there are any rental boats here, let's take a boat to the lake, it's cool", Xiaolan said: "Why don't I go to the front and ask?" I said: "It's okay, we are waiting for you here", after Xiaolan left, Bihe said: "Miss, you see that the cruise ships in the sea are all private boats of rich and noble families", I looked at the very magnificent cruise ship in the distance, and secretly said in my heart: "No matter when, it is good to be rich!"

After a while, Xiaolan came back and said that there was a boat for rent at the pier not far in front, Bihe and I walked forward with Xiaolan about 200 meters to the dock, a small rocking boat was moored there, Xiaolan had already told the boatman, the three of us got on the boat in turn, the boatman saw that we were all on the boat and untied the rope and rocked to the center of the lake, the boatman was a black man in his forties, with a straw hat on his head, very honest, the boatman asked, "Where is my aunt going?" I said, "Is the master familiar with this?" Just take us to some places with good scenery", the boatman smiled honestly, "Okay!" There is some sunshine outside, I and Bihe Xiaolan got into the pergola, find a stool to sit down, the boatman shook the boat skillfully, the wind on the lake was blowing on the face was very cool, it didn't take long to see a stone bridge in front of the river that resembled a silver dollar ingot, the boatman said: "Girls, please look at the front is our famous "silver ingot bridge" standing on the bridge can see the west in the distance, I heard that the ministers also gave a nice name called "silver ingot view mountain"...... Oh! Saying that, he slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, it's called "Silver Ingot Watching the Mountains and Rivers Flow Back"", I looked at the water surface and wondered: "How can the water flow backwards?" The boatman smiled: "I don't know this, I remember following my father to the boat, and the water is flowing backwards like this, and I don't know how many years."

I stood up and looked at the West Mountain in the distance, the hazy feeling is a different charm, the boatman turned the bow of the boat and shook it to the west, the sea is not much on the boat, there are flocks of wild ducks swimming by, the weak willows on the shore are blowing in the wind, from time to time you can also see the pavilions and pavilions on the shore, the ancient temple of the treasure temple, with the wind to come a faint fragrance, I raised my eyes and looked into the distance, I saw a large area of green not far in front of the lotus flowers, the more the boat went forward, the more fragrant the flowers, after a while we were in this blue sea and the sky, to go to the depths of the lotus flower I said: "Master, Stop and rest for a while! The boatman stopped the boat, to be honest, I have never been in such a large lotus forest as I am now, my eyes are full of green lotus leaves, pale pink lotus flowers and elf-like little lotus canopies, I sat for a while and asked, "Master, can I dock near here?" The boatman said, "There is a dock not far ahead," and I said, "Master Lao will send us there!" The boatman got up and rocked the boat again, and the boat passed through the lotus leaves and stopped after a while, I thanked him, and the three of us went ashore in turn after Xiaolan paid for the boat.

The shore is full of small tea sheds, all set up between the willow banks and lotus bushes. Use reed mats to erect sheds that are higher than the embankment. Below is a solid wooden support, inserted in the river mud, with wooden planks on top and reed mats on top, like a high platform near the water. The edge of the high platform, stretching out to the water surface, looking down on the lotus pond, are all under the eye. I picked up a look at the clean reed shed and walked in, although the equipment in the shed is simple, but it is very clean and tidy, we went in and sat down to ask for three bowls of herbal tea, I heard that there was a shout outside to sell lotus seed porridge and let Xiaolan Bihe go out to buy three bowls, I didn't dare to eat more when I ate in the morning, now I am really a little hungry, Xiaolan bought a few more fires, I drank a mouthful of porridge and said: "You guys quickly taste, this lotus seed porridge is quite delicious."
