Several people in the private room were attracted by the exciting scene, and immediately stopped talking and leaned over to look out the window.

Fortunately, most of them are not too active, and Zhao Manqing, the only one who is more active, has to maintain a reserved image in front of Pei Wenzhong, whom she admires, so there is no hoarse and crazy shouting.

This dragon boat race does not end with just one game, but includes many races, such as one mile race, two mile race, three mile race, five mile race, etc., in addition to one-way race and two-way race.

The opening race is a one-mile one-way race, starting from the south of the Tongyun Bridge where the dragon boats were moored before, and the finish line is right opposite the gate of Tingfang Pavilion, where they are located.

On both sides of the river and on the transportation bridge, dozens of dragon boats rushed to the finish line, only with an unstoppable momentum.

Soon, a dragon boat with the word "Liu" written on the drum was the first to break through the red silk hanging on the river, and won the red flower on it, becoming the first place in the competition, and at the same time won a cheer.

Next, the dragon boats returned to the starting point one after another, ready for the next race.

Although the race was exciting, there was basically no difference in each race except for the length of the track, and after watching a few races, several people gradually lost interest and sat back one after another.

Jiang Shu picked up the celadon teacup in front of him, tasted the fragrant tea in the cup, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes moved, and he turned his head to look at Zhu Changluo on the opposite side and said: "Today's Dragon Boat Festival, doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince need to help prepare a dinner in the palace?" How did you get here? ”

In fact, what she wants to know is that since this person is here, will Zhu Changxun also come.

Two days ago, he just refused the proposal to go to the palace with him to the Dragon Boat Festival dinner under the pretext of inconvenience, if he saw that he appeared here safe and sound, and was still with Langmo, I am afraid it would not end well.

Zhu Changluo glanced at Pei Wenzhong, who was sitting opposite him, and gently pulled the corners of his lips and said: "A few days ago, Huguang was hit by a flood, and Mr. Pei was not worried about his parents, so he returned to his hometown to visit, and the return boat only docked yesterday. In fact, this palace is here to pick him up, he arrived yesterday, thinking that there is a dragon boat race on the Grand Canal today, it is better to stay and watch it and then go back to Beijing, and stay in the town for one night. ”

"So that's the case," Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and moved his gaze to Pei Wenzhong on the other side, "Pei Zanshan's family is in Huguang, so I don't know if it's Hubei, Hunan, or Guangdong or Guangxi?" ”

Pei Wenzhong smiled faintly, raised his hand to her politely, and said, "I am from Changsha Mansion in Xiahunan." ”

"Hunan is a good place," Zhao Manqing next to him heard this, and immediately leaned forward, "There is a Hunan restaurant outside Zhengyangmen, and the dishes in it are delicious, and my father and mother often take me there." I think this has spread from so far to the capital, maybe it is not authentic, the authentic Hunan cuisine must be more delicious, if you can go to Hunan to taste it in person, it would be great! ”

"This is simple," Jiang Shu's gaze stopped on Pei Wenzhong's body for a moment, his eyes narrowed, and he said half-jokingly, "If you find a Hunan person to marry in the future, won't it." ”

"Oh, what nonsense are you talking about," hearing her meaning, Zhao Manqing's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she bit the corner of her lip and said in disgust, "Besides, people will ignore you!" ”
