Chapter 67: Dragon Boat Festival
The fifth day of the fifth month of May.
The morning light slowly kicked off.
Ren Mansion.
A maid gets up early in the morning and hangs the wormwood prepared in advance in front of the door.
On the bed, Ren Pingsheng turned on the system as usual.
[Successful sign-in, strength +1]
It's another mediocre stat point reward.
Ren Pingsheng didn't have the slightest wave in his heart, got up and changed his clothes, and planned to cultivate.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Knock knock.
"Enter."
The door slowly opened.
Before the people arrived, the voice came in.
"Freshly cooked zongzi, come and taste it."
Xiao Rongxue put the zongzi on the table, removed the saber, picked up one by herself, peeled it off, took a bite, and her brows suddenly wrinkled: "How is this zongzi sweet?" ”
"The rice dumplings in the north are all sweet."
Ren Pingsheng walked up to her, picked up a zongzi, tasted it, nodded and said, "That's right, it's the taste of the north." ”
When Xiao Rongxue heard this, she was a little surprised: "You used to eat this kind of zongzi?" ”
This is true for the people of the North.
For Ren Pingsheng, it's different.
Let's not talk about this life, let's just say that in the previous life, he was born in the south, but his parents were northerners.
When it comes to zongzi alone, I prefer salty zongzi, but sweet zongzi is not excluded.
"The Great Zhou Dynasty has a vast area, and the eating habits are very different from place to place, and Xiao Nuxia still sees less."
Ren Pingsheng said, took a bite of the zongzi, looked at Xiao Rongxue, and asked, "Is there any sugar water?" ”
Xiao Rongxue was shocked: "Do you still want to dip in sugar?" ”
Ren Pingsheng asked rhetorically: "Otherwise? ”
Xiao Rongxue was silent for a while, and then said: "The Tao is not the same, I still go to the yamen to eat zongzi." ”
After speaking, he stuffed the remaining zongzi into his mouth, picked up the saber, and arched his hand: "Tell ...... late"
The cheeks are bulging, the voice is indistinct, and it is a little cute.
Ren Pingsheng found out that today's Xiao Rongxue changed into a unicorn suit, and even the saber became an embroidered spring knife.
"It seems that I have officially joined the Demon Suppression Division."
Ren Pingsheng thought so, and said to her back: "Bring me two when you come back." ”
After eating sweet dumplings in the north for so many years, I am a little greedy for the egg yolk meat dumplings in the south.
"Hmm......"
Xiao Rongxue stuffed zongzi in her mouth, and she couldn't answer, but she just raised her hand to indicate that she knew.
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival.
In addition to hanging mugwort leaves and eating zongzi, there are also racing activities in Yuanwu Lake at noon, and there are temple fairs at night, which is also one of the few nights in the inner city of Beijing without curfew.
It's also interesting.
Although this world is different from the world before Ren Pingsheng's crossing, there are also many similarities.
For example, this Dragon Boat Festival, in Ren Pingsheng's cognition, is to commemorate Qu Yuan, but in the eyes of the people of the Great Zhou, it is to commemorate a hero named Bai Yue.
It is rumored that three thousand years ago, a huge war broke out between the human race and the demon race, the strength of the human race was weak, and the human race was defeated and retreated, and at the moment of critical survival, it was Bai Yue who stepped forward and stopped the demon army outside the river with his own strength.
The demon army could not be attacked for a long time, so they could only retreat, and Bai Yue died of exhaustion and fell into the river.
The surviving Terrans tried to retrieve the Terran hero's body in a canoe, but the river was rushing and they couldn't.
In order to express their sorrows, people rowed on the river, and then gradually developed into the Dragon Boat Festival.
The people were afraid that the fish and shrimp in the river would eat his body, so at this time of year, they would throw rice balls into the sea and gradually evolve into rice dumplings.
Ren Pingsheng heard this story from his father's mouth for the first time in his life, and was shocked, and once suspected that this world had many connections with the world before the crossing, and as time passed, he gradually accepted it, which may be just a coincidence.
There are many similar coincidences, such as the official system of the Great Zhou court is very similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, for example, the previous dynasty also had Lingyan Pavilion...... There is no need to list them all here.
"Cultivate for half an hour first, and then pick up my sister-in-law to play together."
Ren Pingsheng finished eating the remaining little zongzi and started his first cultivation today.
An hour later.
In front of the palace gate.
Ren Pingsheng looked at his sister-in-law Liu Yunmeng, who was walking slowly towards him, and his eyes showed a touch of amazement.
Today, she is obviously well-dressed.
The upper body is wearing a bright yellow chrysanthemum top, the lower body is a moon-white pleated skirt, the black and bright hair is combed into a reverse bun, a hosta is obliquely hairpin on the head, and the thin silver silk beaded tassels are embellished, and the red treasure earrings on the ears are swaying.
It's really bright and moving.
The sister-in-law seemed to be very satisfied with Ren Pingsheng's reaction, a smile appeared between her eyebrows, and she stood beside him, raising her eyebrows: "Let's go?" ”
The sound is as crisp and pleasant as ever.
"Where does Your Highness want to go first?"
"Shuangtang Street."
Liu Yunmeng grabbed Ren Pingsheng's arm and said excitedly: "Go and occupy a good position first, you won't see anything if it's too late." ”
In fact.
For her, wanting to occupy a good position to watch the Dragon Boat Festival on Shuangtang Street is just a matter of words.
However, she doesn't want to be too dazzling today, and it is better to be like ordinary people, no one is staring at her, free and unrestrained.
For this reason, she didn't even bring her personal maid Qing'er, and went to the appointment alone.
Although she knew that there might be a guard hidden in the secret, only she couldn't see it, that is, no.
"Listen to Your Highness." Ren Pingsheng quietly withdrew his arm, and his voice was gentle.
Although the sister-in-law's jade hands are very soft, there is a difference between men and women, and it is in front of the palace gate, so it is not good if it is seen by others.
Liu Yunmeng could also guess Ren Pingsheng's thoughts, pursed his lips, and suddenly said: "Ren Pingsheng, say it in advance, you will be in the palace all day today, and when you are tired from playing in the palace, you can leave." ”
Why does that sound a little weird......
Ren Pingsheng was silent for a few seconds, and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the minister will definitely accompany His Highness to fight until the last moment today." ”
"Humph! If you break your promise, this palace will go and tell your father that you have bad intentions towards this palace! ”
The corners of Ren Pingsheng's eyes twitched, and he thought: It's because you have bad intentions for this world, right?
"I understand."
"Let's go."
After Liu Yunmeng finished speaking, he grabbed his arm angrily and pulled him in the direction of Shuangtang Street.
Ren Pingsheng was helpless, so he could only let her drag him and obediently follow behind her ass.
Or in front of the palace gate.
After a stick of incense.
Jiang Chuyue, who was wrapped in pale pink clothes, walked out with great interest.
Behind him, dressed in moon-white plain clothes, the long and slender willow is like smoke, covered with a veil, and walks slowly.
"Senior sister, let's go to Sajin Street first, buy some food, and then go to Shuangtang Street to watch the Dragon Boat Festival, okay?" Jiang Chuyue grabbed Liu Ruyan's arm, shook it slightly, and asked coquettishly.
Liu Ruyan just let out a soft "um".
"Let's go, senior sister."
Seeing that the senior sister nodded, Jiang Chuyue's fresh and refined face showed a faint flush because of excitement, and she jumped towards the inner city.
Liu Ruyan followed.
