Chapter 227 Watching the Dragon Boat

On the fifth day of the fifth month, the inner city river was crowded with people and very lively.

The dragon boat race will be carried out here during the Dragon Boat Festival.

When Cheng Xi sat in the elegant room of Wangyue Tower again, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he seemed to have an indissoluble bond with Wangyue Tower.

She pushed the pane to the maximum and looked out.

There are several dragon boats moored on the river in the distance, and the dragon head can be vaguely seen.

Meng, who was sitting next to her, suddenly leaned over and said with a low smile:

"It can be seen that the prince has put in a lot of thought in the two adjacent elegant seats."

Around the city and the river, the Moon Watching Tower is the best place to watch, you can see the beginning of the dragon boat and the end of the dragon boat. Therefore, every year on the Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, the Moon Watching Tower is really hard to find.

Of course, Cheng Xi understood that Rong Qian had put some thoughts into it.

She giggled, her eyes looking through the screen towards the elegant seat next door.

There were a few figures behind the screen, Cheng Jing, Cheng Yu, Cheng Xin, Cheng Sheng and Cheng Ye and others were there, and the other one was Rong Qian.

He chatted and laughed with the brothers of the Cheng family. Cheng Xi couldn't hear what they were saying, but the atmosphere looked good.

Rong Qian was not a person who loved to deal with people.

Cheng Xi still remembers the first time he met Rong Qian, who was so cold that he was wandering around thousands of miles away.

"I know, he is very interested."

Cheng Xi's eyes did not hide his joy, and he replied with a smile.

He took Meng's eyes very seriously and thought to himself that young people are just good, and even love is so frank and straightforward.

She smiled and twisted Cheng Xi's face gently, causing Zhen and Li Luo to look over.

"Aunt San, Xiaojiu, what are you talking about?" Li Luo asked with a smile.

Meng waved her handkerchief and said:

"Talking about calligraphy and painting with your second sister-in-law, you should get together like a gentleman." She paused, and suddenly looked at Li Luo and smiled, "You said you should not do anything, and go to care about what family you have! You deal with the abacus and account books all day long, which is very vulgar!"

It made everyone laugh.

Wen, the wife of Cheng Jing, smiled and said:

"Aunt San, you can do it. The fourth brother and sister are not those of us who are thick-skinned and can withstand a few jokes!"

Meng said "Ha" and said:

"What's wrong? The fourth brother has returned to Datong now. I'm afraid that Shi'an can't stop that boy from coming to find me!"

She said, turning her head and pointing Li Luo's nose, and said intimately:

"Don't think about letting the fourth brother help you stand up!"

Li Luo blushed when he was furious.

She now understands Meng's personality, and is the most straightforward and has no airs when she is elders, and does not take Meng's jokes seriously.

"It's just that Aunt San is happy." Li Luo said with a smile, and took out the method of coaxing her to deal with Meng.

Sure enough, Meng lost his temper and kept shouting that Li Luo was really a soft-hearted person.

Everyone laughed so hard.

Cheng Xi smiled and held his chin and looked at it, feeling satisfied like he had never felt before.

Her family... From now on, she will protect them with Rong Qian.

There were gongs and drums and thunder outside the window, and everyone's eyes were attracted. They saw flags, blue waves, rainbows, oars and trees waving into thousands of waves, and dragon boats racing like arrows breaking through the wind.

Everyone leaned against the pane and watched.

Cheng Xi took a little further and stepped back, and couldn't help looking at the screen again.

The other end seemed to be watching the dragon boat in front of the window, and everyone was blocking it, so Cheng Xi could not find Rong Qian's figure.

"Fool." Meng suddenly leaned over and whispered, "Why don't your sister-in-law come today?"

Cheng Xi was stunned.

Wang stayed in the mansion today on the grounds that it was not easy to work hard after the confinement period.

Meng's eyes were full of jokes, and Cheng Xi then realized that her mother was deliberately giving her a chance to meet Rong Qian!

Cheng Xi couldn't help but cough. Before he could say anything, Meng suddenly raised his throat and said to the outside:

"My daughter Jinxin, accompany your lady to change clothes."

The shout was crisp and loud, and the next door must have heard it clearly.

Everyone looked at Cheng Xi and showed a clear smile.

Cheng Xi became more and more embarrassed, and turned around and walked out of the private room.

The appearance on the other end of the screen was deeply understood and said to Cheng Jing and others:

“…I’ll lose my companion.”

The eleven-year-old Cheng Ye couldn't help but want to ask him what he was going to do, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Cheng Xin pressed his head and looked out the window.

"Shut up and look at your dragon boat!"

Rong Qian smiled and walked downstairs quickly, and saw Cheng Xi looking around in the courtyard downstairs of Wangyue.

Cheng Xi couldn't help but smile when he saw him, but in a moment he raised his face again and glanced at him:

"Now, everyone knows that I'm here to meet you!"

Rong Qian thought to himself that it was clearly the Cheng family who pushed them to meet each other today.

Naturally, he would not argue with Cheng Xi about these things, and just laughed:

"Go for a walk?"

Cheng Xi looked at the river bank with crowds, and was still full of fear at the Mid-Autumn Lantern accident, and couldn't help but shake his head:

“…There are too many people.”

Rong Qian pointed to the alley behind Guanyue Tower and said:

"After crossing this street, there are a few imported shops there that are newer, do you want to go and have a look?"

Cheng Xi was a little moved, and Jin Xin hurriedly smiled when she saw this:

"I will wait for you here."

Cheng Xi and Rong hid away from the crowd and walked through the alley, and came to the street behind Lantern Street.

Today everyone squeezed around the city to watch the dragon boat race. There were no people on the street, and it was indeed very quiet.

Cheng Xi sneaked with Rong for a long time, and several shops were closed.

She looked at Rong Qianxiao with joy:

“…I’ve all gone to see the dragon boat!”

She smiled but said nothing.

Anyway, he was just accompanying Cheng Xi to get some breath. Samu said that Cheng Xi was locked in the mansion every day and was not allowed to go out. He didn't have to think about how bored Cheng Xi was.

"It's okay, then come back on the Chinese Valentine's Day."

Cheng Xi frowned and snorted lightly when he heard this, his eyes and eyebrows were filled with laughter.

It was as if Wang would agree, and I don’t know where the confidence came from!

She walked forward with a smile, wandering around the shops, while Rong Qian followed behind without any haste.

Cheng Xi found a rare thing he had never seen before in an imported shop, so he turned around and waved to him:

"Come and see, this is..."

She suddenly paused and her eyes fixed behind Rong Qian.

Rong Qian stopped and turned to her eyes. He saw two graceful girls and two maids coming out from the corner of the backyard of a restaurant across the street.

Their expressions were obviously nervous, and they looked around, but they didn't see Cheng Xi and Rong Qian on this end.

"know?"

"Well," Cheng Xi nodded and said, "That is Wan Wei's granddaughter, and the other is Yuan Wenshan's daughter."

Rong Qian knew that Yuan Wenshan was originally the magistrate of Ezhou, but now he has joined Wan Wei's subordinates.

It is not surprising that the daughters of the two families get together.

Cheng Xi felt something was strange. Wan Shunqing had not left for a year, so why did he come out to watch the dragon boat?

Aren't she afraid of causing gossip for Wan Wei?

And Yuan Xin...is she so familiar with Wan Shunqing?

Cheng Xi looked at him in a slant.

Yuan Xin pulled Wan Shunqing, as if he was quietly stuffing something to her, and then whispered to Wan Shunqing for a while.

Wan Shunqing was carrying them on his back, unable to see his expression clearly, but his whole body was stiff and seemed to be very nervous.

Yuan Xin stroked her back and said a few more words, then Wan Shunqing nodded and walked forward with the people.

Yuan Xin stood there and looked at her for a while, then turned around with his maid and returned to the restaurant from the corner gate.

Cheng Xi couldn't help but frown.
