All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 973: A graceful lady, a gentleman is a good man

The way she stared and covered her mouth was just like when she was a child, playful and cute, which made Yin Huaixi want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he had to hold back his laughter, and without hesitation in his hand, he quickly poured a cup of digestion tea and handed it over.

Yu Youyao quickly took the tea cup and took a few sips, then saw Yin Huaixi sweeping away the remaining soup on the table at an incredible speed.

The food appearance is not elegant, but it is not rude either. It just has a sense of quickness and speed.

Why didn't you notice before that he eats like he's fighting? !

At this time, the sound of a gong was heard outside.

Yu Youyao stood up immediately: "Is the dragon boat race about to start?"

"The three gongs are a reminder to the contestants to get on the boat immediately." Yin Huaixi nodded, and walked out of the tent with Yu Youyao. A sunshade was set up outside, and papers and cushions were placed.

As soon as the two of them sat down, several maids brought tea, snacks, fruits, nuts, etc., and filled the table.

Then some familiar officials, military generals, and their families came over to say hello.

When King Wu Mu and Princess Shao Yichang came, they did not make any announcement, and there was no news earlier. They came to see the news of the dragon boat race. When they met, they all traveled in simple clothes and sat at the same table. Even the servants He stepped aside and did not step forward to serve him personally. No matter how stupid he was, he still noticed something strange.

Thinking back to it, there were rumors earlier that King Wu Mu admired Princess Shaoyi for her talent and character. What else can't you understand?

It is clear that she is a graceful lady, and a gentleman is fond of quarrels.

King Wu Mu was riding a dragon boat race to please the beautiful woman.

Therefore, the people who came to pay their respects were sensible, and they followed the etiquette carefully and did not bother much, so as not to delay King Wu Mu's approach to the water tower and cause people's displeasure.

The sheds of Mrs. Huang and General Anyuan's wife were arranged on both sides of Yu Youyao.

Yu Youyao thought of going to the city and holding a Baicao Fighting event. She couldn't help but ask: "It rained suddenly in the morning. How was the Baicao Fighting event?"

Mrs. Huang smiled: "The Baicao Dou started at half past midnight (six o'clock in the morning). Within an hour, those who collected the most flowers, herbs and medicinal materials were ranked. By the time it rained, all the contestants had already gone down the mountain. Now, the Baicao Dou is going on normally, but many people on the Dou Yi side got caught in the rain. Fortunately, it’s rainy in Liaodong, so everyone has made corresponding preparations, so there won’t be much of a problem.”

In the Liaodong area, it rains heavily every late spring and early summer.

Everyone has a lot of experience dealing with such weather.

General Anyuan's wife also laughed: "This rain has added a lot of color to this year's Dragon Boat Festival. Many people knelt down and shouted for the dragon god's blessing. They all said that this year must be a good harvest year."

The "rapid" rain during the Dragon Boat Festival has entered the Liaodong area, and it has touched the hearts of all the victims. Many people rushed out of their homes, knelt in the heavy rain full of mud, cheered and held their heads. Cry bitterly.

The heavy rain completely washed away the gloom in the hearts of the victims.

Yu Youyao thought about the sweet potato vines that spread all over the land in Liaodong, and couldn't help but think: "Everyone's life will get better and better."

Mrs. Huang said something more about fighting Baicao.

Yu Youyao listened with great interest.

At this moment, there were two more bang bang sounds.

Yin Huaixi explained: "The two blasts of bronze are making final countdown preparations for the contestants. The dragon boat race is about to begin."

Yu Youyao felt excited in her heart. She quickly sat up straight and looked at the river. The dragon boats of each family were neatly stopped at the starting point of a blue ribbon.

There were crowds of people on both sides of the river, but the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone looked nervously towards the river.

When the last bell sounded, dragon boats scrambled to break away from the blue ribbon, paddled quickly, and moved forward bravely. Cheers and deafening shouts broke out from the shore, soaring into the sky.

Yu Youyao stood up subconsciously. There were ten people on each dragon boat, five on each side. Each person held an oar in his hand and rowed the oar at the same time.

This process requires teamwork.

Whenever a person rows faster, slower, or with less strength or heavier strength, the speed of the dragon boat will slow down or deviate from the position, causing a collision with the dragon boat beside or behind him, or due to the It deviated from the position, causing the dragon boat to fall one step behind.

This place contains the humanistic color of unity and unity.

All the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival include people's yearning and expectation for a better life, and a better life depends on everyone's unity and united efforts.

Mrs. Huang was a banker and organized a boat gambling game. She bet on which team of ten dragon boats would win the first place. The game was not big, and the participants were all acquaintances. In the spirit of small gambling, it was also for the sake of gambling. Dragon racing adds a bit of fun.

Gambling like this is very common in dragon boat racing events.

Yu Youyao also paid ten taels of silver: "I bet on the Qing team."

The Qing team is the dragon boat of Xie Mansion.

The various activities of the Dragon Boat Festival can be held smoothly, and the Xie Mansion is indispensable.

Unfortunately, Xie Fu ended up third.

Yu Youyao's twelve taels of silver were wasted.

General Anyuan's wife became the biggest winner. She joked: "I've saved all my money on cosmetics this year," and then turned to ask Yu Youyao: "When will the Zhiyu Building open? I will take care of your business then, but Give me a 20% discount."

Everyone knows that the epidemic in the internment camp can be controlled and prevented, and Princess Shao Yichang's fragrant medicine played a key role in this.

The reason why Zhiyu Tower has not been opened is because Princess Shaoyi fully supports the prevention and control of the epidemic and does not care about making money from opening the business.

It is no secret that Princess Shao Yichang is good at fragrant medicine.

Therefore, when General Anyuan's wife asked this question, many ladies present were very interested.

Everyone has a love for beauty.

We are all decent people, but rouge and gouache are indispensable. We can't keep a bare face when we go to various families. Not only is it embarrassing for ourselves, but we are also very rude.

Dressing up more glamorously and solemnly is also a sign of respect and attention to the host.

Yu Youyao smiled and said: "We are already preparing for the opening. We will carefully choose a date after the Dragon Boat Festival. When the time comes, we will give you a discounted price."

There are three dragon boat races in total.

After the first game started, the second pick arrived at the starting point.

After the first game ended, the bronze bell sounded, and the second game began immediately.

The pace of the competition is compact and tense.

By the time the three games were over, the sun had already set to the west, and Yu Youyao was still a little unfinished.

On the bank of the river, many people threw rice dumplings into the river. No matter how hard life was, they still generously sprinkled food into the river to let the fish compete for food, in order to commemorate their deceased relatives and pray for safety.

Yu Youyao was deeply touched.
