As soon as Mrs. Xu's words were finished, Xu Wanli was dissatisfied and said, "since then, where is the game fair? In my opinion, Mr. Xiao is only fit to be a spectator in this game. "

People think it's right. Although the imperial court has been changed this year, it is much easier for Xiao Jingxi to guess the place in the competition than others.

Xiao Jingxi couldn't help smiling: "then I'll be a spectator. The boat is just beside us. How about you move first? "

Several people have no opinion, with Xiao Jingxi together out of the cabin.

The boat of Yanbei palace is really parked beside this boat. If you get closer to it, you can go directly. Xiao Jingxi asked several people to go to the boat first. He followed him. After Pei Zhiyan and Xu's husband and wife had gone up, Xiao Jingxi called Leshan and leshui around Ren Yaoqi to come over and told them to help Ren Yaoqi carefully. He also told Ren Yaoqi in a low voice, "be careful."

Ren Yaoqi smiles at him and goes steadily to the boat. Then he stops for a moment and turns around to wait for him to come up with him.

Xiao Jingxi gets on the boat and looks at Ren Yaoqi. The corners of his mouth bend out a happy arc.

Xu Wanli is actually Xiao Jingxi's teacher, so when he got to the students' boat, he and his wife took Pei Zhiyan and looked around at the boat.

After several people looked at it enough, Xiao Jingxi took all the people to the flower hall with the best view in the boat. Xiao Jingxi seems to have ordered the guests to arrive early in the morning. Tea, snacks and fruits have been prepared in the flower hall. However, in response to his previous words, he went to the ship of Xu's house to treat the guests.

After several people had sat down, Xu Wanli took a look at the boat race on the river and said, "then start to bet."

Xiao Jingxi summoned a servant girl to give a few orders in a low voice. The servant girl stepped back and soon came in with a tea tray. On the tea plate was a stack of cut Xuan paper, and she was followed by several servant girls holding pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"It's more fair for you to write down your own notes on paper and take them apart after the results come out." Xiao Jingxi said.

"That's good." Mrs. Xu nodded and laughed.

The maids put the ink, ink, paper and inkstone and the cut rice paper one by one in front of the public. Xiao Jingxi said that if he didn't participate, he would not participate. He just watched the people wager with paper and pen.

Ren Yaoqi took a look at all the people. Xu Wanli and Mrs. Xu wrote and talked in a low voice. It seemed that they were discussing what to make a bet on. Their gambling method was elegant, and naturally they would not make a bet with money.

Pei Zhiyan is looking down to taste tea. His light brows and eyes are full of leisurely smile. He doesn't seem to be in a hurry to bet. He only talks about the tea ceremony with Xiao Jingxi, who is sitting next to him, while drinking tea.

Ren Yaoqi did not rush to write. She looked out of the window at the river. Instead, several boats of dragon boats had been spread out and stopped in the river. It was as if the river was covered with water. It is clear that in the past years, it was just a game for fun. This year, I don't know why there is a kind of fierce fighting spirit.

The dragon boat of the imperial court is in the center, the green dragon of Yanbei palace is on his left side, the red dragon of Lei family is on the left side of Yanbei palace, and the white dragon of Yun family is on the other side of the golden dragon of the imperial court. They are like an arrow ready to be launched and will fly out at the command.

Pei Zhiyan said: "it seems that Xiao doesn't care about the win or lose of this game?" Pei Zhiyan is talking about the success or failure of the dragon boat race, not their guess.

Hearing the speech, Xiao Jingxi said with a smile: "winning or losing is a common business of soldiers. What's more, it's just a dragon boat race. Winning has the fun of winning, and losing also has the fun of losing. "

When Pei Zhiyan heard the speech, he picked his eyebrows and seemed to be thinking.

Ren Yaoqi also heard their conversation. She took a look at Xiao Jingxi, but could not help but feel moved. She looked at the line-up on the river, pondered for a moment, and then wrote on the rice paper. Fold the paper when you're done.

Xiao Jingxi looked at her and asked softly, "what is the bet?"

Ren Yaoqi thought about it and wrote a few words on another piece of paper.

When Xiao Jingxi took a look at it, he could not help but pick his eyebrows and say, "I haven't heard of this painting. I don't know who made it?"

Ren Yaoqi chuckled and then wrote the author's name on the paper. Xiao Jingxi took a look at it and saw that it was "Ren Shimin". Therefore, Xiao Er childe was very clever and did not speak. Otherwise, he would not even know about the great work of his father-in-law, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this time, Xu Wanli's wife and Pei Zhiyan had finished writing. Xu Wanli's bet was a Yellowstone seal in his collection, while Mrs. Xu's bet was a famous inkstone. Pei Zhiyan's bet was similar to Ren Yaoqi's, which was his own copy of Qingre tie.

Ren Shimin's paintings are now well-known. In addition, his paintings are not in circulation in the market. Others can't ask for them, so they can take them as bets. Pei Zhiyan has been famous for a long time, and his calligraphy is hard to find, so people have no opinion on gambling.

The drums have been beating one after another outside. When the gongs of Yanbei King ring, the shouts and noises outside will be swept by with overwhelming momentum, which makes the eardrums tremble.There was a lot of excitement outside, but some people on the boat were relaxed.

Pei Zhiyan happened to have a chat with Xiao Jingxi about tea. Xu Wanli took a sip of the tea bowl and nodded: "it's good tea, and the water is good water, but the tea making technique is poor."

Mrs. Xu said with a smile, "your taste is tricky! But when it comes to tea making skills, there are several experts present. "

Xu Wanli ha ha a smile: "madam, this is just what I want."

Mrs. Xu was puzzled: "what did I say?"

Xu Wanli glanced at Pei Zhiyan and pretended to be surprised and said, "isn't the lady's intention to drink the tea made by Jingyan himself? After all, I haven't had it for many years. "

Mrs. Xu spat at him at once, and then said, "it's a guest. There's no reason for a guest to make tea."

Xu Wanli shook his head regretfully.

Ren Yaoqi laughed and said, "if you don't dislike it, let the students make it."

She and Xiao Jingxi are the only ones present. Can't you instruct Mr. Xiao to make tea? Ren Yaoqi took the initiative to stand out.

Mrs. Xu said with a smile, "I was just about to say that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. My skill as a student is no worse than Jingyan and Jingxi." Mrs. Xu has an air of honor.

Pei Zhiyan looked at Ren Yaoqi: "Oh? Is that true? "

Ren Yaoqi took a look at Xiao Jingxi. Xiao Jingxi nodded with a smile. Ren Yaoqi got up and went to the tea room and said with a smile, "I am a student of my husband. Naturally, my husband thinks I am good at everything."

Everyone laughed at his words.

Ren Yaoqi was proficient in the tea ceremony. However, it required a quiet and calm environment to cook tea. Today, it was not suitable to sit down and cook tea slowly. Therefore, Ren Yaoqi chose a simple tea making method.

She made more tea for Ren Shimin at home, so she acted quickly. After a while, she let several servant girls carry tea bowls out.

At this time, the Dragon Boat Race outside has already finished. The green dragon of Yanbei palace and the golden dragon of the imperial court arrived at the end of the race almost at the same time, and then the boats of other aristocratic families came back one after another.

As a result, many ordinary Yanbei people stood on the riverbank to watch the game, and some people privately opened up their mouths. Compared with the gambling game of aristocratic children, gamblers bet on real gold and silver. Several people on the boat looked at the result and found that they didn't take it seriously. It was only the first game. One third of the boats were eliminated. It was still early for the result of the competition.

Ren Yaoqi personally brought the tea to you before the case, and then went back to sit down.

Pei Zhiyan picked up the tea bowl, put aside the floating powder with the bowl cover, and tasted it leisurely, but he couldn't help but pause, and then lowered his head to drink.

Mrs. Xu said with a smile, "how about it? I'm not talking big, am I? "

Pei Zhiyan looked at Ren Yaoqi, then nodded to Mrs. Xu and said with a smile: "very good."

Ren Yaoqi noticed that Pei Zhiyan had just looked at her at random, but with some inquiry, she couldn't help sighing.

She is Pei Zhiyan's student, and even he teaches the tea ceremony. The two people's tea making techniques are the same. I think Pei Zhiyan can taste the tea when she just drinks tea. The tea she brews is familiar to him from the amount of tea to the water temperature.

She didn't expect to be seen out by Pei Zhiyan. She still made tea like this and had no other purpose, let alone to reminisce with her old friends. But he is her most beloved husband, once like a father and brother's relatives, now meet but do not recognize, she just want to make a bowl of tea for him to express her feelings, that's all.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xu, Xu Wanli and Pei Zhiyan have not seen each other for many years. Pei Zhiyan's habit in tea ceremony has certainly changed a lot. Therefore, Mrs. Xu and Xu Wanli did not find that Ren Yaoqi and Pei Zhiyan could brew tea with the same flavor as Pei Zhiyan.

Pei Zhiyan calmed down after the shock at the beginning. He still had a leisurely attitude and chatted with others.

There have been three competitions outside, and only the golden dragon of the imperial court, the green dragon of Yanbei palace, the white dragon of the cloud family, the red dragon of the Lei family and the blue dragon of the Su family are all left.

The fourth race was particularly fierce. The Golden Dragon and the green dragon still led the race at the same speed. The fight between the white dragon, the red dragon and the blue dragon was very exciting. Those who were only concerned about the victory or defeat between the Yanbei palace and the imperial court were attracted by the three boat dragon boats.

Finally, the red dragon of Lei family won the white dragon of Yun family and the red dragon of Su family with a weak advantage. The final scene is the victory or defeat between the golden dragon, the green dragon and the red dragon.
