Chapter 58 Dragon Boat Race

Mingzhu was full of expectations, and Wen Renyu was embarrassed for a moment. He was a Taoist practitioner and should not be involved in his children's love in this life. A girl Sang had already made him at a loss.

Princess Chixia has been showing kindness in every way. When she didn't understand this, Wen Renyu could still act as if she had made up her mind. Now that she understands it, he doesn't know what to do.

He raised his hand to his lips, cleared his throat to cover up his embarrassment, and pretended that he had not heard of the question: "Brother Xie, Miss Sang, it's getting late, let's go."

Mingzhu pouted, and Wen Renyu didn't praise her, so she leaned over and bit her ears: "Is this one good-looking?" Naturally, there is still a girl's question.

Xiaoxiao was still wearing the blue dress yesterday and put the remaining crepe spider on her head. She looked up and down at Mingzhu's clothes and nodded: "It looks great."

Mingzhu has a beautiful appearance, bright eyes, and brighter wearing bright colors. Although the plain colors are not as good as a small natural and clear spirit, it is also beautiful.

Mingzhu's eyes lit up and she held Xiaoxiao's arm: "You are so nice." Although she was simple in her mind, she knew what serious praise was. It was like Xiaoxiao who seriously thought she was good-looking.

She held Xiaoxiao and took out a bag of candy. Yesterday it was Xiaolou Leaf, and today it was plum blossom candy. She shared the food with Xiaoxiao, muttering and telling Xiaoxiao: "Let's go to the market first, then go to see the dragon boat racing, and go to the lantern festival at night."

The market is crowded with people, and colorful lights are hung between the yards. It is already very lively during the day, and it becomes even more lively when the lights are lit at night.

Xiaoxiao had never visited such a big market, and Mingzhu was the same. The two girls felt fresh when they saw everything. Mingzhu pulled Xiaoxiao and squeezed to the front when they saw anything.

There are people rowing dry boats on the street, and those who are performing hundreds of operas are singing small songs on the street stage.

It's not enough to look here and there at the moment.

Xie Xuan and Wen Renyu followed them. Xiaoxiaochu turned around from time to time to see if her senior brother was there. Every time she turned around, Xie Xuan would smile at her.

After watching the show, I was fascinated by it, so I didn't care about my senior brother.

Xie Xuan grinded his back teeth. He originally wanted to take Xiaoxiao out by himself, but the two of them swam together, but they squeezed into the princess and pulled Xiaoxiao and stopped letting go.

Xie Xuan looked at Wen Renyu in anger. Didn’t she like Wen Renyu? Why did she pull Xiaoxiao?

Wen Renyu noticed Xie Xuan's gaze, but he was wrong and smiled at Xie Xuan and said, "Although Princess Chixia is a princess, she is a simple-minded person."

The implication is that she is not the kind of person who uses power to suppress others, and Xie Xuan can feel at ease with her.

Xie Xuan looked up and saw Xiaoxiao standing in front of the mask stall, and she was wearing a mask with the princess. It was rare to see her say so much to others.

Xiaoxiao has never had a girl as a playmate since she was a child. It is rare to have one, so she lets have fun.

Xiaoxiao picked a flowery mask, Mingzhu asked for the same one, put it on her mask and said to Xiaoxiao: "Let's wear a mask and pretend I am you, you are me, and ask them to guess it, okay?"

Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and shook her head: "I can't deceive my senior brother." The senior brother could recognize her at a glance.

Mingzhu took off her mask, blinked, and leaned into Xiaoxiao's ear and asked her: "To be honest, do you like your senior brother?"

Xiaoxiao nodded for granted: "Of course I like my senior brother."

Mingzhu knew when she saw her appearance that she didn't understand. She shook her head and sighed: "It's not the kind of like it!"

"What kind of like is that?" Xiaoxiao frowned.

"That's... it's true that you like him, he likes you, you like each other, there is no one else, no one else is allowed." Mingzhu rolled her eyes for a long time and finally said this sentence.

Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. She suddenly thought of Qingmei. Qingmei likes her senior brother, so she was very unwilling. The bearded men liked her senior brother, but she felt happy for her senior brother.

Mingzhu saw that she was thinking, and smiled and said, "How is it? I understand."

After saying that, he told Xiaoxiao his secret: "I like Wen Renyu, so he is not allowed to like others, nor is he allowed to like him!"

When she said this, she looked like a princess. Her chin was raised and the ruby ​​as big as a rice bead in her ears swayed lightly, reflecting the color of fire in her eyes, looking very proud.

But after saying that, he sighed again: "But he likes nothing except practicing Taoism."

In order to have something to say to him, Mingzhu also reads the Taoist scriptures, but she was not a child and couldn't understand it at all, let alone sit with Wen Renyu to discuss the Tao. She asked Xiaoxiao: "Can I still learn Taoism now?"

"You can learn," nodded slightly, "My master often says that Tao is in the master's teachings and practices in oneself, and one must also save oneself. If you want to learn Tao, you can learn it at any time."

Mingzhu heard it and felt excited. She glanced at Wen Renyu. Seeing that his eyes were peaceful, as if he was looking at her, but he didn't see her. She turned around and gritted her teeth and said to her, "Are you willing to teach me?"

Her little eyes opened slightly, she hadn't yet started her training.

Mingzhu shook her sleeves: "You agree. Bing Gong Tan respects three festivals and two birthdays. I will definitely respect you with my disciples."

After saying that, she thought that as a disciple, she would make a box of new clothes for Xiaoxiao, put some hair on her head, make a few decent Taoist robes, lotus crowns of gold and jade.

In addition to Ziwei Palace, there is also the Kun Dao Temple held by Qingsanren. The Taoist clothes worn by the female Taoist inside are elegant and dusty, and it will definitely look good if worn on Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao thought for a while: "I have to ask my senior brother."

Before I finished shopping a street, I was already full of things in my hands. I carried everything in my hands to the private room in the lake in Guanlan Building, with wide open windows, and watched the dragon boat racing upstairs.

Several narrow-headed boats stopped at the other end of the lake, and each bow was tied with colorful silk. There was a drummer in front of and behind the boat. When the drum sounded, the boat started to regatta. Which fleet would first arrive at the other side, which fleet would win.

Mingzhu told Xiaoxiao that the dragon boat racing has a lottery, and the winning team can be given gold and silver by the Texas officials.

Mingzhu looked by the window: "Let's bet and see which boat can win."

The dragon head of each boat was tied with different colors of silk. Before their bureau was opened, the waiter came in with a plate: "Dear guests, do you want to bet a dragon boat? No matter how small it is, you can get a good intention."

There was a red and yellow grid on the tray, and gold and silver were arranged in pieces. Mingzhu asked, "Who can win the most bet?"

The waiter laughed: "In previous years, the Zheng family's fleet won more, and the Zheng family also bet the most. This year, their fleet did not even get all the people, so fewer bets were placed."

There is only a scattered amount of money in the yellow grid, which is much less than that in the red grid and green grid.

When Xie Xuan heard the Zheng family, he asked, "Is it the Zheng family of Longwei Escort Agency?"

The waiter nodded: "It's Zheng Ye's fleet. I heard that there are many people this year. The fleet next to it is thirteen, and Zheng Ye's fleet does not even have ten people."

Xie Xuan touched his pocket and took out a corner of silver from it: "I'll win by buying the Zheng family's fleet."

This is the last little money he has left. After using this little bit of silver, he has to find a way to take care of his work. He can't eat and drink to the capital for nothing.

When the waiter saw that he was rushing to give money to others, he sent the pallet to Wen Renyu.

Mingzhu grabbed Wen Renyu: "Who do you think we will win the bet?"

Wen Renyu shook his head: "I don't have to."

Xie Xuan said: "The Nine True Wonderful Precepts and the Five Precepts of Laojun, but they have not quit gambling, why bother to let go of such a disappointment?"

Wen Renyu heard this and then said, "Then I will take the Zheng family together with Xie Xuan to win."

Of course, Mingzhu and Wen Renyu did not bring money on her body, and she would have a guard and maid to pay for her wherever she went. Otherwise, there would always be a lot of gold and silver jewelry, but she would have bought all the money she brought today.

After thinking about it, I took off my earrings: "I bet the Zheng family also won."

Her earrings were made of ruby ​​fire. Although they were only the size of rice beads, they were also valuable. When the waiter saw the people in the room, he was really a bodhisattva who was scattering money. He was so happy that he was overwhelmed.

Mingzhu bet on the gem and became nervous again: "Then will the Zheng family win?"

Xiaoxiao took out the candied fruit from the porcelain plate and took a bite of the frosted peach strips: "My senior brother will definitely win."

After a while, the sound of gongs and drums sounded, and five dragon boats headed towards the opposite shore. Although the Zheng family's ship was not at the end, there were still two boats left to the first place.

Mingzhu leaned over the window frame and looked up from afar. She turned around and saw the three of them sitting at the table eating food. She stared at her eyes widened: "Don't you guys look?"

There were several exquisite vegetarian dishes in front of Wen Renyu, and there were chicken, duck, fish and meat in front of Xiao Xiao Xie Xuan. Wen Renyu lowered his chopsticks very slowly, but Xie Xuan tasted the good taste and wanted to hold Xiao Xiao a chopstick.

He picked up a piece of fish belly and put it in her bowl.

Xiaoxiao ate the fish belly meat and said again: "My senior brother won't lose."

Mingzhu turned her head and continued to look, and said from time to time: "It's over, it's over, and I'm catching up again!" The bow of the boat was about to surpass the Zheng family, and a wind suddenly blew in the lake.

The wind shaves off the flag on the ship, and half of the people on the boat are covered.

The Zheng family fleet took this opportunity to cross the front one, and went from third place to second sentence.

Mingzhu shouted, then frowned again: "The first one is a whole hull faster than them, it must be faster."

Xiaoxiao ate another piece of lychee meat, and she looked at Xie Xuan and her eyes curled.

The Zheng family fleet moved forward vigorously and caught up with half of the hull. It was about to reach the other side. Mingzhu sighed mournfully, thinking that this bet would have to lose.

Unexpectedly, the two shipmen of the Chen family fleet, who were the first to the top, suddenly broke the oars in their hands and leaned to the right. Although they only had a moment to adjust the bow, the Zheng family's ship had already stepped on the red.

The difference is not too small.

Mingzhu covered her chest and jumped up: "I won, I won! We really won!"

When she turned around, Wen Renyu had finished her meal and was drinking fragrant tea. Xie Xuan ate a chicken leg and chewed the other one. Mingzhu snorted: "It's really boring."

The waiter came back with a tray, and Xie Xuan won more than ten taels of silver.

The waiter was amazed: "There are only a few guests in our building today."

Mingzhu won her a pack of silver for her earrings, and she gave her half: "This is the first time I have made money since I was a child. I treat you at night. What do you want to buy?"

It was already lively during the day, and at night the tourists were crowded.

There was a food stall in the streets and alleys of Dengshi City, and there were various toys selling lantern velvet flowers. Most of the tourists wore masks on their faces, and Xiaoxiao and Mingzhu were also put on them. The two stopped in front of the lantern stall.

I bought two pairs of lanterns, Mingzhu bought a tit-shaped lotus, and reached out to Wen Renyu and handed it to him: "I'll give it to you."

Wen Renyu's face turned slightly red. He glanced at Xiaoxiao. Seeing that she and Xie Xuan were holding the same lamp in her hands. The lights reflected the little face like a lotus. He turned his head and said, "Princess, this is not a decent."

Mingzhu's hand handing the lamp paused, bit her lip and said softly: "Why is it not so concise? We've been married."

Wen Renyu's face turned red: "Princess, don't say it anymore, that's a joke between the two families." After saying that, he took a sip of ice and snow cane slurry and water to shock him.

Mingzhu suddenly became annoyed: "How could it be a joke? The token has been changed. If it weren't... If it weren't for the fact that Ziwei suddenly accepted you as his disciple, our church will be worshipped now!"

Wen Renyu choked and coughed suddenly.

Xiao Xie Xuan looked at each other and was silent. It turned out that Wen Renyu and Mingzhu had been married. Xie Xuan smiled and said to Wen Renyu, "Then your master would break up the mandarin ducks?"

The master is indeed better than his own family. Other people's masters can only make marriages, but their master tied a red rope. It would be even better if the master could tell Xiaoxiao earlier.

Wen Renyu breathed smoothly, and he said seriously: "Princess should not say these things again. If the princess's reputation is damaged, I will die and I will not be able to talk to my master."

Mingzhu's eyes turned red, she stomped her feet, turned her head and ran away.
