Chapter 261 Gambling
Just as I was about to find someone, the person came back.
Chu Ningqin rushed towards Xi Feng with a smile, "Sister Afeng, you are here."
He said again, "You came so late. I also urged my grandma to come early, just want to talk to you early and go out to play. But after waiting for you for a long time, you haven't come yet. Fortunately, I have my second and third cousins accompany me, otherwise I will be bored."
Only then did Xi Feng realize that not only the second wife of the Chu family did not come, but also Miss Chu and Miss Chu did not come.
Today's dragon boat race, in theory, neither the second wife nor the eldest lady Chu Miss Chu will be absent, but she did not see these three people.
Xi Feng wanted to ask Chu Ningqin, but she was afraid that Old An would be more concerned when she heard it, so she suppressed the questions in her heart. Chu Ningqin said that she was watching the juggling incident just now.
"As such a big fire circle, the little girl who was performing art rushed over and flipped through the fire circle, and didn't even have a single hair burning. It's so amazing." Chu Ningqin praised.
On this side, Xi Feng spoke with Chu Ningqin, and on the other side, Chu Lao'an asked Ruan, "Where are you buying a new house? Isn't it far from Chu's mansion?"
"Not far away, I'm in Sanning Lane, and taking a carriage to Chu Mansion, it's only a stick of incense."
"That's good. If you have free time in the future, you often take Afeng to visit Chu Mansion. After a long time, I don't see that girl. I'm still wondering."
"I was negligent. After the lecture, I should take Afeng to Chu Mansion to pay tribute to Lao An."
The chats were very enthusiastic. Both Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Chu San could not make a word. Until the sound of gongs and drums came from the Grand Canal, everyone shut up and looked at the Grand Canal.
I saw ten golden dragon boats parked on the surface of the Grand Canal. The dragon boats were filled with sailors and helmsmen. There was a drummer standing next to the dragon head, beating the drums with great effort.
The drums were stirring, and the sailors shouted and sang, and were lively and excited.
Chu Ningqin muttered excitedly, "It's beginning, grandma, grandma, sister Feng, it's about to start. This year, our Chu family's dragon boat will definitely win the first place and will take the lead."
He murmured again, "I was downstairs just now, and someone started the game, but I paid 200 taels of silver to buy the Chu family's dragon boat. "
Xi Feng's eyes lit up when she heard this. Yes, why did she forget? Every year in the dragon boat race, there will be someone who starts a bet to buy winning or losing.
After living for two lifetimes, she remembers who won the Dragon Boat in the past ten years. This is a good opportunity to make money.
Absolutely ten bets and ten wins.
Xi Feng immediately rushed forward, turned his head and gave her an order. Su Ping nodded and went down.
Not long after, the dragon boat race began.
Everyone was staring at the ten dragon boats on the river excitedly, and Chu Ningqin even shouted, "Come on, come on, Uncle He, come on, come on, come on, big bull..."
Uncle He is the drummer on the Chu family's dragon boat, and Daniu is the helmsman. Both of them are from the Chu family shipyard and have participated in the dragon boat race for many years. Chu Ningqin watched the dragon boat race every year and met these two people.
The little girl was full of excitement, shouting and jumping, and almost stepped on Xi Feng's feet.
Xiao Ayun, who was sitting on the other side, was also excited with a small face, staring at the dragon boat on the river without blinking, and pulling Ruan's sleeve and asking, "Ah Mother, who do you think will win?"
The dragon boats on the river are temporarily one step ahead of the Xu family.
