On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Duanyang Festival.

Before dawn, the Ye family was already busy.

Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Liu were busy in the kitchen, the other three girls were hanging calamus wormwood all over the yard, and Zhou Fugui brought a basin of realgar water, sprinkling it in each room while chattering.

Ye Yunshu took the sachet and distributed it to everyone, the sachet was embroidered with colored cloth and flower thread, and it contained a mixture of spices such as Huoxiang, mugwort leaves and Atractylodes.

Ye Yunshu doesn't have this skill, these sachets are all embroidered by those three girls.

If you want to talk about workmanship, the best one is the one in Ye Yunshu's hand, this is embroidered by Zhou Xiaoqing, and the little girl also deliberately used her monthly money to buy the best color thread, and the embroidered green lotus is in full bloom, which is very beautiful.

Naturally, there are zongzi in the morning food, and all the zongzi brought from Mantangcai have been sent before, and today's one is Ye Yunshu's new bag.

There are only four flavors, crystal dumplings, crystal bean paste dumplings, and egg yolk fresh meat and bacon red beans.

"The craftsmanship of the little lady's zongzi is really a must!"

Zheng Guangyao stuffed a mouthful of zongzi, with a satisfied face.

Lu Shaorong also nodded while eating, "It's really delicious." ”

"It's a pity that Fucheng didn't sell it. Jiang Qi looked regretful, the zongzi in the gift box that Ye Yunshu sent, he ate it on the first day he got it, and wrote a letter to ask the family to send someone to buy it, I don't know if it has been done, it's been two days, and no one has sent it yet.

"It's really too late this year. Ye Yunshu explained with a smile, "There will definitely be one in the city next year." ”

Today in Duanyang, the repair workers also had a holiday, and after eating the morning food, Ye Yunshu asked Zhou Fugui to drive the four of them to the river first.

It's time to officially start to go, and it's only a matter of time at this time, Ye Yunshu feels that it is better to wait and pass, otherwise it will be boring to just stand by the river.

Lin Zhao didn't go either, under the pretext that the old man was old and would go later.

Actually, it's hiding in the house and drinking.

Lin Zhao was upset that Ye Yunshu didn't let him drink last night, so he went to Wuweizhai early in the morning to buy plum wine and came back.

It's also today's festival, and Wuwei Zhai opens early, otherwise how can this wine be bought.

"Today, Duanyang, wine can drive away demons and avoid evil, I am serious. ”

Ye Yunshu glanced at him, "I've only heard of realgar wine having this effect, where does your plum wine have this effect?!"

Lin Zhao was happy, "It's all wine, the same thing." ”

"You're enough, too. Ye Yunshu was helpless, "I said that although your core has been changed, your body is still the original owner's, and you are old, can you take it easy?"

Lin Zhao looked aggrieved, "I'm already very restrained." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and took a sip, "Don't say it, this ancient wine is really good, the wine is rich in aroma and clear in taste, and the ones I drank before are really incomparable." ”

Ye Yunshu admonished: "Just drink two sips to satisfy your cravings, don't drink too much." ”

Lin Zhao looked impatient, "Okay, okay, I'm such an old person, I don't know this yet?"

However, it turned out that Lin Zhao was indeed unreliable, and when it was almost dawn, Ye Yunshu came to find someone, and Lin Zhao had already drunk and couldn't tell the difference.

"Little lady, look at this ......" Zhou Xiaoqing picked up the empty wine bottle on the table and shook it, then shook it upside down, and there was not a drop of wine left.

Ye Yunshu's face darkened, "Let him go, let Yue'er and Xiaoping come over to take care of it for a while, by the way, there is still honey in the kitchen, make a cup of warm water for Mr. to drink for a while, you must let him drink it!"

Zhou Xiaoqing nodded heavily, "Don't worry, little lady, I will definitely do it." ”

There were many people on Dragon Boat Festival, and the three girls stayed at home, Ye Yunshu originally wanted to go out alone, but Zhou Fugui was not at ease and insisted on following, and Ye Yunshu went with him.

Crowded all the way to the river, both sides of the river bank are already overcrowded, the crowding is even worse than the last Lantern Festival in the county when I watched the lantern festival, Ye Yunshu is small, he can't see the situation in the river on tiptoe, and when he looks at it, it is all the back of people's heads.

Zhou Fugui worked hard to protect Ye Yunshu, "Little lady, Lang Jun has set up a private room in the Minghe Tower next to it, let's go there to see it, it's too crowded here." ”

Ye Yunshu looked in the direction of Zhou Fugui's finger, and the three big characters of the Ming Crane Tower were fluttering on the red flag.

She wondered, "When did he order it?"

Why have you never heard him mention it?

"Booked last month. Zhou Fugui led Ye Yunshu to the Minghe Tower, and said, "Lang Jun came out of the school one day to find me, saying that there would be a dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival, and he specially asked me to book it here." ”

Ye Yunshu was stunned for a moment, could it be that he had just learned that he was going to participate in the dragon boat race? How could he be sure that he would definitely come to see it?

When the two of them arrived at the Minghe Tower, Zhou Fugui reported Xiao Mingting's name, and Xiao Er led the two to a cubicle on the second floor.

Ye Yunshu stood outside the "private room", his mouth was slightly open, and his face was full of surprise, "So small?"

The outside of this crane tower looks very atmospheric, the lobby on the first floor is also quite spacious, why is the so-called private room on the second floor so compact? Look at this size, it is only about three square meters, put a table and two chairs, even if the space is exhausted.

"Little lady, this private room is specially separated, just for today's dragon boat race, don't look at this small room, it's difficult to book!" Zhou Fugui said, helping Ye Yunshu pull the chair away, "If we hadn't come early, and Lang Jun had tokens, it would have been impossible to book such a room." ”

"Token?" Ye Yunshu wondered, "What token?" ”

Zhou Fugui said: "A jade pendant, it seems to be the owner of this Minghe Tower." ”

Ye Yunshu frowned, "How could he have this thing?"

Zhou Fugui shook his head, "Then I don't know, what Lang Jun said, how do I do it, the little lady might as well go back and ask Lang Jun." As he spoke, he pushed the window open, "Little lady, look at it, this is an excellent viewing place, Lang Jun and they can see the whole game." ”

Ye Yunshu stretched his neck to look out, and he could indeed see the situation in the river, at this time there were already five boats moored in the river, and there were still people pushing dragon boats into the river on the shore.

Ye Yunshu was puzzled, "Are there so many academies in Fucheng?"

Zhou Fugui still knew this, and explained to Ye Yunshu: "No, there are three academies in the city plus the Fuxue, just the first three, and the others are all here to join in the fun." ”

Dragon boat rowing is to have a lively atmosphere, there will be such a dragon boat race every year, and the colleges will also compete with each other, in order not to affect the competition of the colleges, other people's dragon boats have to be rowed out of the dragon boats of the three colleges for a distance before they can start.

Of course, there will be competition between them.

Many of these participants are big families or merchants in the city, and they give each other lotteries, and some even have gambling games by the river.
