spring cloud warm

The day of the Dragon Boat Festival was sunny and cloudless.

All the completed dragon boats were launched into the water, and both sides of the bank were crowded with crowds of onlookers.

Just in front of the ancestral temple of the Huaiyang Prince's Mansion, the colorful shed was set up high, and all the local dignitaries and dignitaries were present.

On both sides, there are piles of sharp objects like hills, which are used as rewards for winning.

King Huaiyang sat on the middle seat, and next to him was Zheng Wuji.

Accompanying Zheng Wuji was not his wife Xu Chunjun, but Fu Qingzhu, the adopted daughter of King Huaiyang.

Everyone knows that Xu Chunjun's vitality was hurt because of dystocia. Not only did he not keep the child, but his body was also very worn out. It has been almost a month now and he still can't go to the ground.

"See? Men, there is no one who dislikes the new and dislikes the old." Cao Shi, the wife of the magistrate of Huaiyang, said with a sigh.

"What did I say earlier?" Mrs. Shen also said, "There is no cat that does not steal. Mrs. Zhizhou is so beautiful and virtuous, so what?

I gave birth to a child and took half my life to go in.But the husband flirts with the concubine, and they hit it off. "

"That's why, people can't be too infatuated." The wife of Zhuzhi County said, "Women still have to learn to love themselves, otherwise everyone will fail."

The dead rabbit and the fox are sad and hurt their kind, and all the wives of the royal family sympathize with Xu Chunjun.

But all they can do is talk behind their backs and sigh a few times.

Compared with these women, their husbands are more concerned about the changes in the officialdom.

"If you want me to say that Mr. Zhizhou is really good at both sides, he is a good hand in the officialdom!" Hu Guangwei, the county magistrate of Yangxia, said with a smile.

They all knew that Zheng Wuji was originally from the imperial concubine's side, but seeing him and Huaiyang King fighting fiercely now, it seemed like a family.

"Haven't you heard? The imperial concubine was punished to confine her feet to think about her mistakes because she uttered a word that contradicted the Holy Majesty.

Many ministers from the previous dynasty joined forces with Shangben to impeach Cen's family. Although the emperor kept the memorial and did not release it, he also reprimanded Cen Zhou and Cen Ran. " Zhu Huo said.

Don't look at the thousands of miles away from the capital here, but the news from the capital can still spread quickly.

"You can tell which way the wind is blowing just by looking at Master Zhizhou." Shen Ding said with a slight smile.

Several other magistrates also nodded.

They had dealt with Zheng Wuji for almost a year, and they knew that this man's city was much deeper than theirs, regardless of his young age.

[In other words, reading aloud and listening to books is currently the best, Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】

They have been in the officialdom for so many years, and they don't believe in the so-called loyalty at all.

These two words are just a shield. To put it bluntly, people don't kill heaven and earth for themselves.

Even the common people know that traveling thousands of miles to work as an official means eating, drinking and clothing.

If it is not for their own prosperity, how many people can really devote themselves to death?

At three poles in the sun, the dragon boat race is about to begin.

Firecrackers were set off first, and then hundreds of big men wore masks and danced to drive away the plague god.

Then the dragon boat race officially started.

There are five dragon boats in each county, and the competition is also divided into five rounds.

With one order, the sound of drums shook the sky.

The sound of chant, shouts, and cheers resounded through the world.

Everyone stared at the seven dragon boats on the wide water, watching them chasing after each other and moving forward bravely. …

This exciting scene made everyone's blood spurt.

After the first game, people were full of excitement.

Non-stop preparations for the second round.

The second fight was even more intense than the first, with pushing and shoving among the crowd in the crunch.

Then the mountain shed was knocked down, and the presents were scattered everywhere, and some fell into the water, and some people jumped down to fish them.

Then there was a scramble.

Because the local custom is that the property falls into the water, and whoever grabs it will get it.

When the water is chaotic, so is the shore.

A stall selling realgar tigers was overwhelmed and burned for some reason.

When the realgar meets a fire, it will emit thick yellow-white smoke, and the smell is pungent.

Not far from it, there are many fireworks and firecrackers that are ready to be set off after the dragon boat race.

And the phosphor powder to be set off on the water at night.

All of a sudden, firecrackers flew wildly, and thick smoke rose everywhere.

People panicked and ran around.

Fu Qingzhu and Zheng Wuji immediately protected King Huaiyang and carried him out.

Mr. Wu followed behind.

King Huaiyang panicked and covered his mouth and nose with his wide sleeves.

Someone bumped into them suddenly, knocking all three of them into a stagger.

Immediately afterwards, the queen of Huaiyang lost consciousness with a headache.

At this time, Yao Yi, the steward of the palace, also groped towards this side.

The thick smoke made it hard for him to keep his eyes open, but he still kept calling his lord.

Zheng Wuji was afraid that he would catch up, so he quickly kicked him into the water.

Yao Yi didn't know who kicked him at all, he just felt cold all over his body, and he had already fallen into the water.

Zheng Wuji turned around, but he couldn't find King Huaiyang and Fu Qingzhu.

He was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

However, the confusion soon subsided, and the burning of realgar and phosphorous powder produced only thick smoke, which did no actual harm to people.

And because the place is spacious, few people were trampled.Only some fell into the water, but they have been rescued.

The thick smoke gradually dissipated, Zheng Wuji wiped his face.

Not far away, he saw Mr. Wu and Fu Qingzhu accompanying King Huaiyang, so he hurried over.

"My lord, are you alright?" Zheng Wuji asked while supporting King Huaiyang.

"It's all right." King Huaiyang had already come to his senses at this time.

"I'm really sorry for making you a false alarm." Zheng Wuji apologized very much.

"It was just an accident, and I can't blame you." King Huaiyang was very generous, "Just see if any people are injured, this king is fine."

At this time Yao Zheng also ran over, because he was too excited to watch the dragon boat race, he had already run to the shore and stood there, and he felt very guilty for not being able to accompany King Huaiyang.

In front of outsiders, King Huaiyang didn't say anything, but just took a deep look at him.

King Huaiyang remembered that he had been in a coma for a short time, but seeing that his clothes were neat and tidy, and Fu Qingzhu was by his side, he didn't think much about it.

But after such a fuss, he didn't have the mood to stay any longer.

He said to Zheng Wuji: "This king is still a little dizzy, I will leave it to you to preside over here, I will go back and have a rest."

Zheng Wuji quickly said: "I will take you back."

"No need, what will happen if you leave here?" King Huaiyang said, "Just ask the steward to accompany me back."

At this time, the butler had already come up from the water and was drenched all over.

But he was more concerned about the safety of King Huaiyang, and he was relieved after seeing that the prince was fine.

Zheng Wuji and others sent King Huaiyang to the carriage, and they came back just now to organize the dragon boat race to continue.

Soon people forgot the scare just now, and put all their energy into the fiery competition.

Zheng Wuji glanced at Mr. Wu, and asked him in a low voice: "How is it? Is it done?"

Mr. Wu nodded.

"In such a short period of time, you can still get accurate pulse, sir, you are really amazing!" Zheng Wuji gave a thumbs up.

"Where did you get the pulse number? She just woke up after a brief faint." Mr. Wu seemed to roll his eyes.

"Then you..." Zheng Wuji hesitated to speak.

"Of course I used the most direct method." Mr. Wu looked unhappy, "Remember to give me a red envelope."
