All Hail Cousin Brother - Chapter 971
She stared at her and covered her mouth, just like when she was a child. She was playful and cute, making Yin Huaixi want to laugh but didn’t dare to laugh.
Yu Youyao hurriedly took the teacup, took a few sips, and saw Yin Huaixi sweeping away the remaining soup dishes on the table at an incredible speed.
The food is not elegant, but it is not rude, but there is a sense of quickness in the battle.
Why didn’t I find out before that he eats like a war? !
At this moment, the gong sounded outside.
Yu Youyao stood up immediately: “Is the dragon boat race about to start?”
“Three gongs are to remind the contestants to get on the boat immediately.” Yin Huaixi nodded, and walked out of the tent with Yu Youyao. A pergola was set up to shade, and files and cushions were placed outside.
As soon as the two were seated, there were several maids who brought tea, snacks, fruits, nuts, etc., and set up a full table.
Officials, generals, and their families who are familiar with each other came to say hello.
When King Wumu and Shaoyi County Master came, they didn’t make a sound, and they didn’t hear it earlier. They came to see the news of the dragon boat race. They were all traveling in plain clothes and they were sitting in the same seat, even the servants. He stepped aside and didn’t step forward to serve him personally. No matter how stupid he was, he still noticed something strange.
Thinking of it again, there were rumors earlier that King Wu Mu admired the talent and character of the chief of Shaoyi, what else could he not understand?
She is clearly a slender lady, and a gentleman is good.
King Wu Mu was racing on a dragon boat to please the lady.
Therefore, the people who came to greet him were also sensible and thoughtful of etiquette, so they didn’t entangle too much, so as not to delay King Wu Mu’s approach to the water tower and provoke people’s suspicion.
The sheds of Mrs. Huang and Mrs. An Yuan’s house were arranged on both sides of Yu Youyao.
Yu Youyao thought of the city, where the event of Dou Baicao was held, and couldn’t help asking, “There was a sudden rain in the morning, how was the Dou Baicao event going?”
Mrs. Huang smiled: “Baicaodou will start after half-hour (six o’clock in the morning), within one hour, the ones with the most flowers, herbs and herbs, and the best ones will be ranked. When it rains, all the contestants have already descended the mountain. Now, Dou Baicao is going on normally, but on Douyi side, there are many people in the rain, fortunately, it is rainy in Liaodong, everyone has made corresponding preparations, and there will be no major problems.”
In the Liaodong area, it rains in late spring and early summer.
Everyone has a lot of experience in dealing with such weather.
Mrs. An Yuan also smiled: “This rain has added a lot of color to this year’s Dragon Boat Festival. Many people have knelt down and shouted for the blessing of the Dragon God, saying that this year must be a year of good harvest.”
The “urgent” rain during the Dragon Boat Festival actually fell into the Liaodong area and went into the hearts of all the victims. Many people rushed out of their homes, kneeling in the mud-filled rain, cheering and hugging their heads. sobbing.
The heavy rain completely washed away the haze in the hearts of the victims.
Yu Youyao thought of the sweet potato vines that spread across every piece of land in Liaodong, and couldn’t help but take it seriously: “Everyone’s life will get better and better.”
Mrs. Huang said something about fighting Baicao again.
Yu Youyao listened with relish.
Just at this moment, there were two more bangs.
Yin Huaixi explained: “Two Tongluo, this is to prepare the final countdown for the contestants. The dragon boat race will start soon.”
Yu Youyao’s heart was excited for a while, and she sat up quickly and looked towards the river. The dragon boats of each family were neatly parked at the starting point where a blue ribbon was pulled up.
The riverbank was crowded with people on both sides, but the scene was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Everyone looked at the river nervously.
When the last sound of the bronze luo sounded, one after another, the dragon boats scrambled to break away from the blue belt, rowed hurriedly, and moved forward bravely, and the shore broke out with cheers one after another, deafening shouts, and went straight to the sky.
Yu Youyao stood up subconsciously. There were ten people on each dragon boat, five people on each side, each holding an oar in his hand and rowing the oar at the same time.
This process requires a lot of teamwork.
Whenever there is a person who paddles a beat faster, or slower, or with less strength or heavier, the speed of the dragon boat will slow down, or deviate from the position, resulting in collision with the dragon boat beside or behind him, or because of Out of position, the dragon boat is one step behind.
This headland contains the humanistic color of unity and solidarity.
All the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival contain people’s yearning and expectation for a better life, and a better life depends on everyone, united and united to work hard.
Mrs. Huang is the banker, and she has set up a boat game, betting on ten teams of dragon boats. Which team of dragon boats can win the first place, the betting is not done well, and the people who participate are all familiar people. Dragon races add a little more fun.
Such bets are very common in dragon boat racing events.
Yu Youyao also gave out ten taels of silver: “I bet on the youth team.”
The youth team is the dragon boat of the Xie family.
The various activities of the Dragon Boat Festival can be held smoothly, thanks to the Xie House.
Regrettably, Xie Mansion ended up third.
Yu Youyao’s ten taels of silver were lost.
General An Yuan’s wife became the biggest winner. She joked: “This year, I have saved all the money for the powder.” Then, she turned to ask Yu Youyao: “When will Zhiyulou open? I will take care of your business then, but Give me a 20% discount.”
Everyone knows that the epidemic situation in the camp can be controlled and prevented, and the incense medicine of the chief of Shaoyi has played a key role in it.
The reason why Zhiyulou has not been opened is because the governor of Shaoyi fully supports the prevention and control of epidemic diseases, and he does not care about making money from opening.
It is not a secret that Shaoyi’s chief county master is good at fragrant medicine.
Therefore, when General An Yuan’s wife asked this question, many ladies and wives present were very interested.
Everyone who loves beauty has it.
They are all decent people, but rouge gouache is an indispensable thing. Usually, they can’t keep their faces in their daily interactions.
Dressing up more brightly and solemnly is also respect and attention to the host family.
Yu Youyao smiled and said, “We are already preparing for the opening. After the Dragon Boat Festival, we will carefully choose a date. When that time comes, we will give you a discounted price.”
There are three dragon boat races.
After the first game started, the second pick came to the starting point.
After the first game ended, there was a sound of Tongluo, and the second game started immediately.
The rhythm of the competition was tight and tense.
After the three games were over, the sun was already in the west, and Yu Youyao was still a little unfulfilled.
On the bank of the river, many people threw zongzi into the river. No matter how hard life was, they still generously sprinkled food into the river and let the fish compete for food, in order to pay homage to their deceased relatives and pray for safety.
Yu Youyao was deeply touched.
