This day is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, and the Dragon Boat Festival is finally here.

This festival was originally called "Duanwujie". In the Tang Dynasty, it was changed to Wu because it avoided the taboo of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty (the fifth day of the eighth month), and was changed to Wu. It was called Dragon Boat Festival or Duanyang Festival.

The origin of the festival was originally a festival founded by the ancestors of Wuyue in the south to worship the dragon ancestor and pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits. It is said that the Chu poet Qu Yuan, who was a poet of Chu in the Warring States Period, committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River on May 5. Later, people also regarded the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan; there are also statements such as commemorating Wu Zixu, Cao E and Jie Zitui.

Because during the Dragon Boat Festival in the Tang and Song Dynasties, most people from all walks of life wear chrysanthemums and orchids to boil water to bathe, so people in the Tang and Song Dynasties also called the Dragon Boat Festival as the Orchid Bath Festival.

In Runzhou City, the streets and alleys are filled with dogwood and smoked grass to pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits. Since this solar term has officially entered the summer season, mosquitoes are prone to illness and plagues, so the trend of curing diseases and preventing epidemics has also become popular.

Su Chen returned to Nantang and spent the Dragon Boat Festival with his new family for the first time. He had a girl Ling'er and a bedridden girl. Although he had not confirmed a relationship with her, Su Chen also had a little affection for Peng Qingqing.

At any time, a noble woman who is willing to protect you with all her life and death, is something worthy of being moved.

A man chases a woman across the mountain, and a woman chases a man across the layer of gauze. Before he knew it, the man was easily moved by the woman.

"What do you want to eat today?" Su Chen asked Peng Qingqing.

"I've got a serving of hot pot, spicy hot pot, and teppanyaki. I've been vegetarian for several days. I'm so hungry." Peng Qingqing and he were not polite, and directly ordered what they wanted to eat.

In the past few days, Peng Qingqing recovered from her injuries. In addition to drinking soup and medicine, she only drank porridge and picked vegetables, which were mainly light. Five or six days later, she had the body to practice martial arts, and she recovered quite well, so she should be able to eat meat.

"Okay, today I will make an exception for you. I will make whatever I want to eat."

Peng Qingqing curled her lips and thought to herself what she wanted to eat before. Do you dare not to do it? If you don’t do it, you will deal with you!

However, now she also has some feelings for Su Chen. In this era, she has a deep mind on women. Even if Peng Qingqing is careless, she will think a little bit restrained when she thinks that she may have emotional relationships with Su Chen in the future, or even get married together, and she will inevitably be a little restrained and cannot be as arrogant as before.

"Thank you, Brother Su Chen!" Peng Qingqing also said thanking in a whisper.

"What did you say?" Su Chen got goose bumps when he heard it. He looked at the charming voice and was quite uncomfortable.

"I said, thank you Brother Su Chen!" Peng Qingqing said softly and softly as if she was still ladylike.

"Qingqing, you'd better talk!" Su Chen covered his forehead.

Peng Qingqing's smile was calm, and then she became cold and hummed, "Do it for me!"

"Well, this is like you!" Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was not mentally abnormal, and turned around and went out.

Peng Qingqing watched him leave, pouted her mouth, snorted, and muttered: "Stinky Suchen, you are ungrateful. I am so gentle, and you are not used to it, so you should be more arrogant to you!"

The maid and the old man next to him looked at each other when he saw this scene, and they all felt that their ladies were really abnormal.

At noon, Xu Cainu came to visit. She knew that there were few people in the Su family, so she came to accompany her and celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival together. More people were more lively during the festival.

Su Chen made a few specialty dishes, assorted casserole, pot-packed meat, spicy hot pot, grilled lamb chops, vegetable stir-fry, etc. Xu Cainu also ate them with relish.

During the meal, Xu Qingwan also wanted to ask him some poetry insights or principles of studying things, but they were all interrupted by Su Chen.

"This table of dishes can't block your mouth. How come so many problems come from!" Su Chen finally made a special dish for an hour, and served it with a table with a hearty meal. She also asked questions while eating, so that he had to use his brain and brain power after exercising. Su Chen was not used to this problem.

Xu Cainu was stunned for a moment. After being criticized by Su Chen, she felt a little strange, but she was not angry. Instead, she felt that getting along like this and eating with other scholars was different.

On weekdays, other talents were polite and tried their best to show off their talent, boasting about their talent, for fear of being looked down upon by Xu Cainu, so they didn't eat anything at all. They talked endlessly about poetry, songs, and what they saw and heard in order to impress the talented woman's eyes. But Su Chen was just the opposite. He never boasted about his talent, and even disdained the talent in front of her, and scolded her.

But Xu Qingwan felt that this was very special. She felt Su Chen's approachable nature and showed her true temperament. She smiled and didn't feel embarrassed.

Peng Qingqing muttered from the side: "Su Chen, it would be great if this spicy hot pot was a little spicy!"

Su Chen glanced at her and said, "You are injured now and can't eat too spicy food. Moreover, this kind of spicy mustard and leek flowers are not so good as the effect is used in the vegetables. It would be great if there were chili peppers."

Xu Qingwan's eyes flashed and she asked, "What is chili pepper?"

Su Chen explained: "It is a vegetable that turns red when it is mature, slender and pointed, but it is very spicy and has a good taste in cooking. It is not available in the territory of Tang. It is an imported product and needs to be imported from overseas."

Xu Qingwan became interested and couldn't help asking, "Oh, where did you come in? Have you seen this thing?"

You are one hundred thousand whys!

Su Chen really had a headache. This Xu Caiwoo likes to dig into the bottom of everything, and he is worthy of being a scholar.

"Of course I've seen it, otherwise how could I describe it? I also know its taste in the dish! However, it's hard to get this thing. Wait until my country's navigation technology is stronger." Su Chen remembered historical records that peppers were introduced to the country from America in the late Ming Dynasty. At first, it was just used as an ornamental crop and medicine. It didn't take too long to enter Chinese recipes, and it was only a history of more than 200 years.

Peng Qingqing showed her greed nature and grasped the topic and said: "With chili, wouldn't we eat hot pot taste better?"

Su Chen glanced at Peng Qingqing. It was really rare to be smart, but unfortunately he used it for eating.

At this moment, he was a little convinced of the character of the two women in front of him.

After lunch, the prefect Peng Zeliang came to visit his daughter. Peng Qingqing naturally lay on the bed, pretending to be in a state of discomfort and was in a serious condition.

After seeing it, the prefect Peng felt a little sad and once again told Su Chen to take good care of Qingqing and to treat her as soon as possible to recover. Otherwise, she would give him some color. Su Chen, who was powerless and powerless, nodded repeatedly, and looked like he was completely educated.

Peng Zeliang had to go to the riverside to preside over the dragon boat race and sacrifice to the river god in the afternoon, so he stayed for a while and left.

After seeing off the prefect Peng, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw Peng Qingqing looking at him with a smile, with a smug look, which was very cute!

If he had established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with her like this, I wonder if he would have been sent by the yamen runners to beat him up.

Suddenly, Su Chen remembered the three-year appointment with Bai Susu again, and couldn't help but smile with a bitter face.
