Chapter 166: Passing the Dragon Boat Festival
The Dragon Boat Festival in May is a good day with clear weather.
Today, I don't have to go to the school, so I got up early in the morning to help Shi Jin clean up the house.
Because of the age of this house, the corners are a little damp. The two sisters and brothers each took a handful of mugwort, and smoked the main room and the side room.
For the festival, Shi Jinte specially knitted several five-color silk thread belts, and helped Shi Nian wear them on his wrists and ankles, and took the "puzzle dumplings" mixed with traditional Chinese medicine Yizhiren and ate them with Shi Nian, asking for a good fortune for erudition and intelligence.
"There is a dragon boat race in Shaoguangdu outside the city today, are you willing to go and see it?" Shi Jin tied a five-poison sachet to Shi Nian, and tidied up the corners of his new clothes for him, and Tete asked him.
Shi Nian had a small face, "Isn't Uncle Qi going?" ”
Shi Jin paused, "He should be busy, I'm afraid he won't be available." ”
Although he said this, Shi Nian still took her hand, with some worries on his face that are not common to children, "Will Uncle Qi leave us?" ”
He shouldn't have asked this, but the warmth of these days made him a little scared, for fear that he would fall into the days when he was used to being separated from his sister.
Shi Jin smiled and rubbed his head, "What are you thinking!" He is not such a person, even if he leaves us, my sister's medical skills have improved a lot, and she can support you and me. ”
"Sister, don't worry, when you are older, you can also support your sister." Shi Nian tilted his head and said to her.
The two discussed going out to watch the dragon boat race together, and then took Liangzhou and the jacaranda out of the door.
The streets of the Dragon Boat Festival are very noisy. For the first time, the two sisters and brothers went shopping so freely, and Shi Jin even bought a windmill made of colored paper and handed it to Shi Nian.
Slightly embarrassed, he held the windmill, "Sister, I'm not a child anymore."
"In my sister's eyes, you're just a child." Shi Jin's eyes narrowed with laughter, and he touched the top of his hair again.
Shi Nian sighed helplessly, holding his stupid sister tightly, for fear that she would be scattered by the flow.
The two of them played and walked, and when they got to the west city gate, they walked for another quarter of an hour, and saw the lights and gongs and drums on the side of Shaoguangdu from a distance.
"Why is it so lively?" Shi Jin tiptoed over there to look.
Liang Zhou knows a thing or two.
"The pergola on the high platform in the distance is mostly where the children of the official family are, and the dragon boat not far from Shaoguangdu is the place where the saint rests today. This year is a lot more lively than in previous years, I heard that not only the prince, jade and princess are the nobles in the palace, but even the five princes who did not often appear in previous years also came out to watch the dragon boat race. ”
At the mention of the Five Princes, Shi Jin suddenly remembered the figure who struggled to get up in the dark and rainy night, clear and stubborn and arrogant, very different from all the nobles she had ever seen.
"Sister, there are so many people, should we go and see?" Shi Nian tugged at Shi Jin's sleeve, tilted his head and asked.
"The crowds are surging, and the danger is tight, why don't we find an open high place and watch from a distance, okay?" Shi Jin squatted down and asked Shi Nian.
"If my sister says yes, it's good." Shi Nian nodded, and the two got up and looked together.
But the jacaranda said, "Go to the west and go again, there is a high hill, a little far away, the slave often climbs the tree to Shaoguang when she is young, although it is farther, but the sight is good." ”
"Then go further west." Shi Jin clapped, and several people gradually deviated from the crowd and went to a high place.
What the jacaranda said is really not bad, although there are people here, it is a lot quieter.
Liangzhou first found a thick weeping willow, climbed up in three or two, and went straight to Shaoguangdu to look, and saw that there were a few slender dragon boats at the mouth of the river, and looked at it from a distance, like two mayflies, swinging on the water.
"Here! Come up and see it clearly. Liang Zhou beckoned to the others.
Shi Jin refused to go up the tree, but only stood under the willow tree and looked up, "You go up and see, I'm just right here." ”
When she knew that her sister was scared, she wanted to stay with her sister at the moment, but she smiled and said, "If you are not afraid, let Liangzhou carry you up." When you see clearly, you can talk to me in the evening. ”
I squatted on the willow tree with the cool boat and looked at the river from afar.
Shi Jin asked the jacaranda to climb the tree by herself, and she spread a handkerchief on a flat ground and sat in the shade to rest.
.
Find a good position here, and on the other side, the people on the huge dragon boat look at the river even more clearly.
Jade and the princess saw that Ti Qisi was wearing masks and was standing at the window looking out, and couldn't help but get a little closer, "What are you looking at?" ”
Qi Mojing stepped aside and covered the window, "It's nothing." ”
Princess Yu He was even more curious, her hands were slender, and she pushed the window lintel slightly, and saw a few dragon boats as thin as willow leaves on the lake, and a man with a naked upper body holding a wooden oar was moving himself.
In the distance, the crowds of people stand on the shore, the colorful weaving is like wisps, the clothes are like a forest, and a large circle of human shadows is waving, looking from a distance, it looks like another colorful ocean.
I don't know what jeweled sequins are hung on the clothes of those people, and occasionally there is a bright light flowing by, casting a faint light and shadow on the sparkling water waves on the river surface.
She couldn't help but cover her lips with a fan of the group of beautiful women with pill gold, and looked sideways slightly, with three points of surprise, "Ah! With such a lot of people, shouldn't the entire Haojing City come over? ”
Qi Mojing's voice was a little lower than before, and he said to her, "Wait a minute, remember to stay with Your Majesty, don't move around too much." ”
Princess Yuhe rolled her eyes, didn't ask much, and only shook the fan three times, "It's already a little hot in May now, and my father has prepared an ice tripod over there, so I will naturally guard the ice tripod for a while." ”
After saying that, his eyes swept slightly over the five poisonous purse on his waist, and he smiled very faintly, before he turned to the third floor of the dragon boat.
Today, His Majesty is rarely interested, and there are several princes and beauties on the ship, who are responsible for guarding the dragon boat, except for the elite guards of the Ti Cavalry Division, most of the rest are from the palace royal forest army, and Commander Liu assigned a few smaller painting boats to protect the dragon boat in the center in the form of arch guards.
Jiang Zhi, as a person walking in front of the palace, was also among the transfers, or even because of the eldest princess and Jiang Liangyuan, he was assigned to the third floor of the dragon boat, which can be regarded as a supreme pet.
Qi Mojing secretly arranged the surroundings in his heart again, and then he raised his lips and smiled.
However, he was about to return to the deck of the dragon ship, but he didn't expect the prince Xiao Ce Shi Ran to come over.
"It's a clear day today, Fan Sidu is so busy, why don't you rest for a while?" When he said this, his grim face had a little smile, and he looked a little cold.
"This matter is where the duty lies, so naturally I don't dare to take it lightly." Qi Mojing took a step back silently, distancing himself from it.
Xiao Ce's face turned cold again, "The main hall is kind, and the division refuses to rest, but is careful to set himself on fire." ”
His words seemed to mean something, but they were vague.
Qi Mojing's eyes were deep in thought, and he beckoned Lu Liu, who was dressed in a red brocade robe, to come over.
After whispering a few words, Lu Liu's face was a little more solemn, he nodded slightly, bowed his hand, and left on his own.
