Chapter 111 Watching the Dragon Boat Race on the Dragon Boat Festival
Thinking of the woman I just saw, with such a look and figure, and then compared to her dignified and quiet mother, Guan Lin'er couldn't help but stamp her feet and said hatefully,
"The woman was not a good person at first glance. She looked like she was not a good woman at all. Men were indeed not a good person!"
She rushed into the private room angrily, and the woman sitting in the room asked when she saw this.
"Lin'er, what's wrong with you? Is there someone coming to the room next to you?"
Guan Lin'er nodded,
"The private room in Uncle Wan has come..."
As he said that, he paused and leaned over and whispered,
"Mom, you really have to be careful. Uncle Wan's senior sister is obviously a vixen!"
When the woman heard this, her heart sank and her face turned bitter.
"What's my life... Why do men like those charming women?"
Shao Die got married at the age of fifteen. Because her brother was the chief guard of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, she was born with beauty and was extremely beautiful. She found a good family. Her husband's family was a famous merchant in Jinling City. She had a wealth of wealth and many servants. She also enjoyed a blessing after marrying her for a while.
No matter how good this beauty is, she will have a day of getting tired of it. Shao Die is weak and dull and will not please her husband. After that fresh time, her husband will come into the mansion one by one. All of these women are not as beautiful as a wife, but they all have tricks. Everyone can do some tricks to make the male master work, so he can't tell the difference between the east, south, west and north, and he will not take his wife seriously. Those concubines are not from serious places, and once they get the power, they will naturally be extremely arrogant and domineering.
Shao Die was still holding back at the beginning. Later, when her daughter was born, she finally became a mother, and she had to take care of her husband's back house. However, she unexpectedly received her husband's beating, but she didn't expect that from then on, she would feel like she had fallen into the water of Coptis chinensis.
After that time, her husband seemed to have found new things in addition to eating, drinking, drinking, gamble and gambling. It would be fine if he didn't go home every day. Whenever he returned home, he would have to beat her. At first, he just kicked her with his fists, then beat her with a whip, a board, and a nail, and he always tried to polish her with all kinds of tricks.
Shao Die was too gentle and regarded her husband as the best person. Even if she suffered from suffering in her husband's house, she would not dare to go back to her parents' house to tell her. It was not until her daughter was eight or nine years old that she secretly ran to tell her uncle. Shao Changshan then learned about the girl's experience and couldn't help but be furious. At that time, the husband's business was involved in a life lawsuit.
Shao Changshan was also a cruel man. At this time, he took charge of the government and sentenced the Guan family to confiscate the property. The whole family was exiled, but he asked the Guan family to write a letter to release his wife, and took the girl and niece back. As a result, Shao Die's husband was empty, and he got sick after only a hundred miles of exile in Nanjing. He died within three days!
Shao Die was taken by his brother to raise him. He stayed in the Duke of Wei's mansion for five years, but when he first entered the mansion, he met Wan Jinquan, who was honest and honest. The mother and daughter fell in love with him at first sight. It was not that Wan Jinquan could do anything to seduce good women. The bad thing was his appearance and temperament. It made people feel reliable after just one glance.
Shao Die's husband was young and handsome, and he looked like a young man in the turbid world. However, he was a bad guy inside. After this incident, the mother and daughter were afraid of the beautiful man. However, a man like Wan Jinquan felt that he was so honest and honest, he must be a good man.
In this way, in the past five years, both openly and secretly, the Shao family also expressed their feelings to Wan Jinquan several times. Only Wan Jin had a heart of his own, but he was unmoved at all, until today.
Shao Die couldn't help but feel pity and pain when she remembered her previous experience. She shed tears. Guan Lin'er's temperament was completely different from her mother. She saw her mother isolated in her in-laws' house and only knew how to blame the world and not be self-reliant. Therefore, she hated her mother the most. Since she saw her uncle using the light of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, Guan Lin'er understood.
"Nothing matters in this world. The word "money and power" is the most important thing. As long as you can be superior, no one can bully you. If you want anything, you have to fight for it and be strong by yourself. If I hadn't told my uncle secretly back then, I'm afraid that now and my mother and I will no longer know where to bury your bones!"
The aunt who gave birth to a son slapped herself in front of the people. Her mother dared not speak out, but she would only hug Guan Lin'er and cry. Guan Lin'er knew at that time that her mother and father could not be reliable, and only she could be reliable. In the middle of the night, she avoided the girl and the woman climbed over the wall and left the house, ran to the Duke of Wei's mansion to find a powerful uncle, so that she had a good life for the mother and daughter today.
This thirteenth and fourteenth young lady thought this way after seeing the viciousness of her closest relatives in the world.
Therefore, after she took a fancy to Wan Jinquan as her stepfather, she was determined to make this happen. Unfortunately, her mother was too cowardly and had not accomplished anything for five years. Now she was watching Wan Jinquan reconcile with his charming senior sister. Her anxious heart was imaginable. Seeing her mother's inability to look like she was so angry that she stamped her feet repeatedly.
"Just cry here to see if a man can come out!"
Wu Xin'an and Master Miao naturally didn't know what was next door. After entering the private room, they sat in front of the window. Looking at the railings in the restaurant on the second floor, they could see the boats on the Qinhuai River. Master Miao asked,
"When will the dragon boat race begin?"
Wu Xinan had never seen it before, and he responded after looking at the situation outside.
"I don't know, but it's probably too soon..."
As he said that, he pointed to the boat path on the river.
"Look, there are government ships coming out to drive the ships..."
When a few people looked out the window, they saw several speedboats with Yingtianfu official flag on their bows, driving the boats coming and going in the river. Most of these light and small grasshopper boats were rowing behind the boat, and a boatwoman shouting at the bow, in order to take advantage of this season to sell various snacks on their boats in order to make more money.
After hearing the scolding of the yamen runners with iron rulers, the boatmen all rowed the oars and rowed the boats to the waterways on both sides. This waterway was to be cleared out to be used to race dragon boats.
A small boat leaned on the small dock down Dexian Building, and Wu Xin'an looked on the boat. Seeing that there were five poisons on the boat, he gave Du Juan Yinzi,
"Go down and buy everything you can buy, let's try it one by one!"
"yes!"
Du Juan and Zhiniao went down together. Zhiniao came up and said with a smile,
"Miss, Master Miao, try it... This boat girl's skills are really good!"
Wu Xinan laughed at her when she heard this.
"You are a greedy person. You can't even eat this master!
Zhiniao shouted,
"You are wronged by me. It was the boat girl who asked me to taste it first. I will try it first. If it tastes delicious, we will only be willing to spend money!"
Master Miao laughed when he heard this, and took out another ingot of silver for her.
"Good girl, you want to taste it, so go down and taste the realgar wine for me. If it is good, buy some back!"
Zhiniao took Yinzi and stuck out her tongue,
"Master Miao, I dare not taste the wine for you, but there is realgar wine in this restaurant, so I don't have to buy it outside..."
Master Miao pointed to the small boat road downstairs,
"The restaurant is too light, it's not as delicious as the ones they make at home!"
Zhiniao followed the words, and the master and apprentice watched her bargain with the boatman below, but only held a jar in his hand. Master Miao waved at her.
"Buy two more jars!"
Such a little wine gave them the master and apprentice just to rinse their mouths, how could they get addicted!
Zhiniao and the boat girl each carried two jars up. A table was set up. Wu Xin'an asked Zhiniao and Du Juan to sit down. The four of them gathered together. Wu Xinan smiled and poured wine for Master Miao, poured it on himself, but he ordered the two girls to say,
"Everyone wants to eat the wine today, and you two also have a glass of it..."
The two took two small cups as big as thumbs as they said, and Wu Xin'an filled them with them. They were so scared that they were about to stand up quickly. Wu Xin'an frowned,
"Today is a festival, so don't make me unhappy!"
Then the two sat down again. Master Miao took half a salted duck egg and handed it to Wu Xin'an.
"Thank you, Master!"
Wu Xinan took it with a smile, picked up the red egg yolks inside with chopsticks, and took a bite. It was full of oily fragrance and tender sand. Then he sipped a sip of wine. The taste was really beautiful. As soon as he put down the wine glass, the cuckoo picked up another chopstick of silverfish for her.
"Miss, this is caught by the boatman in the lake, fried by himself, dry and chewy, you can try it..."
Wu Xinan took a bite with her chopsticks, then sipped with wine, and slid her eyes. The four of them were having fun eating and drinking, and they heard the sound of gongs on the river surface, and the crowd on the bank was noisy. The four of them stood up and watched in front of the window, but they could hear the sound of gongs from afar.
"It's time to start!"
Before the dragon boat race, we were going to worship the Dragon King as usual. Everyone saw that there was a prefect on the high-rise tower, and the prefect spoke. However, it was too far away, and most of the people below could not hear what they said. However, they begged the Dragon King to bless the Dragon King and make good weather. Then they naturally arranged three animals and three animals to burn incense and worship. At this time, it was not the prefect that the prefect came out, but the Duke of Wei came out to lead the officials and the people to worship the Dragon King.
Wu Xin'an looked at the Duke of Wei on the platform that was too far away, and could not see the appearance of a person. He looked only at his tall and burly figure. After all the matters ahead were done, someone hung a big red silk flower high above the mast of the big ship. The Duke of Wei held a bow and arrow. With a whoosh, an arrow shot out. The silk flower fell as the arrow, and the iron ingot hidden inside hit the gong below.
"Bang..."
