The Dragon Boat Race in Yunyang city is an annual event in Yanzhou. Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, Yanzhou's aristocratic families gather here.

When Ren's carriage came out of Baihe Town, there were already many carriages on the official road. However, there are still a few people like Ren's who send out more than 20 carriages.

When we arrived at Yunyang City, it was already in the morning. Although the sky was bright, it was not too hot to bear.

Because of the increasingly hot weather, Ren's carriage uses a breathable screen. Since entering the city gate, Ren Yao's eyes have been on the outside. Although she could only see the faint pedestrians and horses and hear all kinds of noise in the market, she could also feel the prosperity of Yunyang City, the largest city in Yanbei.

When the Liao people invaded the south, the king of Liao had tried his best to move the capital of Liao to Yunyang city. Unfortunately, his achievement had not been achieved. Xiao Qishan, the fourth northern king of Yanbei, expelled him from the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. It became the last wish of the king of Liao to set the capital of Yunyang city.

For Yunyang City, Ren Yao period is very strange. In my last life, I came with my mother several times when I was still young, but I seldom had the opportunity to travel when I grew up. Like her mother, Li, she is a neglected existence. The last time she wanted to escape to the ancestral home outside Yunyang city to seek shelter, but she was stopped on the way before entering the city.

Ren's carriage slowly passed through the most spacious main road of Yunyang city and entered the inner city.

"Where is the carriage going?" Ren Yao asked Ren Yao Hua Dao.

Ren Yaohua looked at Ren Yaoqi strangely, and then thought that Ren Yaoqi was the first to come back to watch the dragon boat race.

"The dragon boat needs to be launched first, and the formal race will not start until the afternoon. We are going to the other courtyard where Ren's family lives in Yunyang city. We will live in other courtyard these days. "

Ren's family has a house in Yunyang city. Ren Yaoqi knows that she has been there.

The carriage stopped in front of her. Ren Yaohua lifted the curtain and looked at it: "it's my aunt who is going back to the Lin family. It's not the same road with us."

Sure enough, after a few carriages left the line, Ren's carriage moved again. It took less than a quarter of an hour to stop in front of a red painted barbarian door. This is the main gate of the other courtyard. The door is not wide open. However, Ren Yaoqi remembers that this house is actually a spacious house with four entrances.

Before going out, they had arranged their own accommodation, so as soon as Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua got out of the carriage, they were led to the third entering Xixiang, and the two sisters lived together in the first room north of Xixiang. The room is very spacious, with all the furniture. Some of the rooms are used to by Ren Yao people. It can be seen that they were arranged before they came in.

Ren Yaohua is not a stranger to this room. He must have lived in Yunyang city before. Mrs. Ren lives in the north room of the third entrance, so the West Wing of the third entrance is a better place.

After settling down, Mr. five came to ask Mrs. Ren for instructions. Then he took his wife Lin and a couple of children to his father-in-law's house. People of five rooms seldom live in other hospitals when they come to Yunyang city. Most of the time, they live in the Lin family. Although Mrs. Ren was dissatisfied with her little son, she didn't want to make any unhappiness at the moment. She lost Ren's face in front of others and waved her hand to let them go.

In this way, there is no serious daughter-in-law to serve Mrs. Lin. there is only aunt Fang.

Aunt Fang changed her clothes and planned to go to the old lady to wait on her. She didn't want Ren Yaohua to take Ren Yaoqi and go to the old lady first. When Aunt Fang came, she did not give her a chance to intervene.

Mrs. Ren was surrounded by several granddaughters, a legitimate granddaughter-in-law, and a room of servant girls. She really didn't need aunt Fang to come.

Finally, Mrs. Ren looked at Aunt Fang and looked at Ren Yaohua, but she sent her back.

As a matter of fact, Mrs. Ren is very smart in her mind. She doesn't mind giving aunt Fang more decency when she closes the door in Ren's house. It doesn't matter if she let her show off over Li's main room. But outside, the aristocratic families gathered together, and she was really embarrassed to take a concubine as a serious daughter-in-law. She can not have this face, but the family can not afford to lose this person.

So the old lady Ren is not that she doesn't understand the difference between the two, she is just separated.

Mrs. Ren made a speech. At noon, she arranged meals in other courtyards earlier, and then went out. As long as the women in their houses move their cars when the time comes, they have their own men and stewards in charge of the schedule.

Ren Yaoqi listened to several sisters around Ren old lady happily talking about the interesting events of last year's Dragon Boat Festival. She still sat quietly listening.

The atmosphere is harmonious and harmonious, but a woman rushed in and reported: "old lady, the carriage of Yanbei palace is coming."

Leaning on the Kang, Mrs. Ren opened her eyes and sat up straight: "which one is coming?"

But she looked at Ren Yaoqi, who was sitting on one side, and said, "there came a carriage and a maid. She said that the princess sent her to pick up the fifth miss."

The room was quiet for a moment, and the eyes of all the people in the room came to Ren Yaoqi.

Mrs. Ren also looked at Ren Yaoqi and thought about it. With a loving smile on her face, she said to Ren Yaoqi, "since the princess is here to pick you up, you can go."Ren Yaoqi didn't expect Xiao Jinglin to come to her so soon, and he was also surprised. After listening to Ren's words, she whispered "yes" and then got up and backed out.

The carriage of Yanbei palace stopped at the door. It was black lacquer and green. It looked ordinary. However, Ren Yaoqi walked in and found the sign of Yanbei palace under the eaves of the carriage. It was an eagle spreading its wings.

Ren Yaoqi subconsciously looked at the seat where the coachman was sitting, and he was disappointed. The driver was not Dongsheng, but a middle-aged woman in her forties. The servant girl who guards beside the carriage comes up and helps Ren Yao period onto the carriage.

Ren Yao came out with only one apple, saying that the princess didn't like too many people to follow. It's not easy for others to interfere with her. Because the princess didn't come, Ren Yao asked apple to get on the wagon.

Xiao Jinglin's servant girl, named Hongying, is a quiet little girl. Ask and answer. Ren Yaoqi was not a talkative person either. He stopped asking after two questions. She believed that the servant girl was Xiao Jinglin's side, and the master and servant were so similar in temperament.

After driving for nearly two quarters of an hour, the carriage finally stopped at a wharf in Yunyang city.

Liyang river passes through Yunyang, so there are a few docks in Yunyang city. However, the wharves in Yunyang city do not exist as civil or commercial purposes. The entrance to the city is guarded by the army. In most cases, there are no boats in Liyang river. On the contrary, there are three or three women squatting on the stone steps of the wharf to wash vegetables and wash clothes, laughing and scolding the city. The atmosphere is very strong.

Today's dragon boat race is not held in this part of the city, but out of the city gate.

Hongying jumped out of the carriage and turned to help Ren Yao.

Ren Yaoqi got out of the carriage and saw a small boat parked by the river. This kind of boat was once seen by Ren Yaoqi when he was in Kyoto. Rich young men like to sit in it and drink and listen to music. Yanbei is very rare.

Ren Yaoqi was standing on the bank and looking at the boat. However, the sliding door in the front of the boat suddenly opened, and Xiao Jinglin came out of it.

See Ren Yao period, Xiao Jinglin's face is still light, but asked: "are you afraid of water?"

Ren Yaoqi shook his head and walked down the stone steps on the bank. On the stone step near the water surface, there are some rotten vegetable leaves and even some filthy things like fish scales. You can smell a fishy smell when you go down. It's neither good nor bad.

Xiao Jinglin stretched out her hand and pulled Ren Yaoqi to the boat. Although the boat was not big, the boat was very stable. When Ren Yaoqi stepped on it, he didn't even shake it.

There was only one maid in the boat who was almost dressed up with Hongying, and there was no one else.

Ren Yaoqi looked at it curiously. It was spacious enough to hold at least 89 people. There were several short tables, cushions and some daily utensils. There's nothing special about it.

Although Xiao Jinglin's face is cold, she always leads Ren Yaoqi to sit on the cushion before releasing her hand, for fear that she will not be able to walk steadily on the boat.

"This boat was bought in Kyoto by the second elder brother. There are three boats in total. It was only yesterday that I went into the water for the first time. I heard that you were here, and I thought you might not have been sitting on this thing, so I asked someone to pick you up. " Xiao Jinglin looks at Ren Yao's weak voice.

Ren Yao period is looking around, smell speech to Xiao Jinglin a smile: "thank you, princess, I have not really sat in this."

Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi with a few eyes and also laughed: "fortunately, you didn't feel dizzy when you came up. Yesterday, my mother's concubine vomited when she came up. She was so scared that she didn't want to go on the boat, so my second brother gave me the boat." The words are actually with a trace of rare mischievous.

There are few rivers in the north, so Yanbei people don't know how to swim in the south, and most of them are not used to boats. Although Ren Yaoqi did not take a boat, he did.

The boat passed slowly along the river in the inner city. Many people stopped to see it. Not to mention that it was rare to see it in Yanbei, but few dared to sail in the inner city. Ren Yao period today stained with the light of Xiao Jinglin, was pointed at all the way.

Xiao Jinglin did not change her face and did not care about the movement outside the ship. Ren Yaoqi is also a person who can sit down. What's more, it's hard for people outside the backlight to see her real face clearly, so the pressure is not great.

When the boat approached a big stone bridge across the river, "bang", something hit the boat.

Both of them didn't care. They didn't want to be followed by "bang" and "bang".

Ren Yaoqi could not help but look at Xiao Jinglin. Someone smashed the boat? (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to start( qidian.com )Your support is my biggest motivation to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. )
