Red makeup against the world

Chapter 373 Dragon Boat Festival
Qingluo brought tea in with a smile, and Xu Wanzhen was joking with Caisi, she also said: "Miss, although this spring has passed, the heart of spring is still there."

When talking about her marriage, Caisi blushed with shame, and stretched out her hand to pinch Qingluo, the two of them laughed together.

When the two of them finished laughing, Xu Wanzhen said: "Since I've come to this point, I might as well tell you guys something clear. The men's university should be married, and the female university's should be married. Whoever you fancy in the future, just tell me, I will Make decisions for you."

As soon as these words were said, both of them became awkward.

Among the several maidservants, Caisi is the oldest, she is 15 years old now, she is in her prime.

In Xu Wanzhen's plan, when she gets married to Duke Zhongguo's mansion, she will be assigned a steward, and let her be the steward's daughter-in-law, and she can continue to work by his side.It's just that it depends on his own wishes and marriage. If he has that kind of blessing, he can marry and be a straight lady, that would be great.

Seeing that both of them were embarrassed, Xu Wan said in a serious tone: "Marriage is an important matter that should not be taken lightly. When my maids here get married, they will always add makeup to ensure that you will get married in a lively manner. But there is one thing I want to say ahead."

Hearing what she said was formal, the two hurriedly obeyed orders respectfully.

"My dowry maids here are definitely not for the purpose of warming the bed in the future. Don't think about that, I will treat you well. If anyone really wants to climb the bed, I will not forgive them lightly."

The relationship between myself and Wu Zhengxiang cannot allow anyone to interfere, especially the maid who is close to me.

In this day and age, it is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention the rules given by the elders that cannot be withdrawn.His aunt had already hated him, and after they got married, no one knew what kind of tricks she would use.

But no matter what, by my side, I will never allow anyone who covets Wu Zhengxiang to appear.

What she said was to establish the future rules and their way out for the maids around her.After all, at the moment, the dowry maids are all roommates for the male master, which is the usual practice.

It's not suitable for Caisi to be too old, but a little maid like Qingluo, who is old enough to get married, might not have such thoughts.

Let the ugly words go to the front, so as not to make the master and the servant turn against each other in the future, which will only cause sadness.

Xu Wanzhen's tone was awe-inspiring, Caisi and Qingluo hurriedly responded: "Your maidservant knows about it, and I will never dare to get wrong thoughts."

She nodded and said: "Caisi, among the maids, you are the longest and most stable, and these little maids are kept in your hands. I mean, you are responsible for passing it on, whether it is now or in the future." Yes, this is the rule."

Cai Si hurriedly agreed, it was because the young lady trusted her, and said: "Miss, please rest assured, the servants will definitely restrain them."

After lunch and a short nap, Xu Wanzhen got up.

She picked up all the homework that was interrupted due to illness in the past, and re-made the timetable.Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, female celebrity, cooking, she is working hard to be a qualified mistress after marriage.

……

As soon as we arrived at the Dragon Boat Festival, the air above Luoyang City was filled with the aroma of realgar wine, mugwort, and calamus.

On this day, officials take a rest, schools are on holiday, the city is crowded with people, and people from the suburbs flock in to watch the excitement.On both sides of the Luoshui River that passes through the city, the flow of people is surging and it is very lively.Everyone is looking forward to the annual dragon boat race.

At Tianjin Qiaotou, several dragon boat teams are making preparations.

Representing Emperor Qinglong, Wu Guangqi stood under a canopy with several young eunuchs in his hand, holding a fly whisk.On the incense table next to him, an imperial decree was enshrined.After the game is over, he will announce which team has won Emperor Qinglong's prize.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, dragon boat races will be held in various places in Gaomang, but the competition here has the highest standard.

Not only is there the emperor's reward as the first lottery, but the status of the participating teams is also the highest.

A total of four teams participated in the competition, one from Prince's Mansion, one from Prince Qi's Mansion, one from Beiya Army, and one from Gyeonggi Daying. Even the Duke's Mansion did not participate.This is not just a competition, but also a secret contest.

If you are above the court, no matter how dissatisfied you are, you must smile and insert the knife.But in this kind of competition, you can fight heartily and happily.

The opponent of the Prince's Mansion is naturally Prince Qi's Mansion. There are undercurrents surging between the two, and they are confronting each other on big and small matters. Naturally, they will not let this opportunity of confrontation head on.If you can win, it will be such a pleasure to step on the opponent's face fiercely.

As for the conflict between the Beiya Army and the Gyeonggi Daying, there has been a long history.Most of the six armies of the Beiya were descendants of powerful and powerful people; while in the camp of Gyeonggi, they were all elites drawn from various armies, and most of them were ordinary people.

The soldiers of the Gyeonggi camp despised those in the Beiya army, mocking them for not having been on the battlefield or seeing blood spattered for five steps, how could they be called soldiers?It's just some fancy tricks.

And the children of the Sixth Army of the Beiya, how can they think highly of these mud legs?They come from good backgrounds, and all of them have practiced martial arts for a while, and they have good martial arts skills.

This kind of contradiction is actually a contradiction between the rich and the grassroots.Deep-rooted and irreconcilable.But for Emperor Qinglong, these two armies are the most important armed forces in the capital, and the discord between them can give him peace of mind.

In Luoyang City, once the soldiers of the two armies meet, it will cause fights and troubles.This is also the most troublesome thing for Lord Yin Tang of Jingzhao Mansion.

It's just that the Sixth Army of the Beiya is stationed in the capital, while the Gyeonggi Camp is stationed in the southern suburbs.Due to the distance, there is no opportunity to compete on weekdays. This year's dragon boat race is the main stage for competition.

Most of the people who came to watch the competition came for these two dragon boat teams.Those who came to participate in the competition were all men who were strong and fierce in the army, and they were quite interesting.

People in Luoyang City like to join in the fun, and such a grand occasion is even more overwhelming.Tang Fu Yin sits in the government office, the more important the event is, the more he feels like facing a big enemy.

Send out all the yamen servants and arresters under him to maintain the order of the dragon boat race, and also guard against those who are kidnapped by the little tricks.It's not easy to be the magistrate under the emperor's feet. If something happens, his black hat will be over.

In Tianjin Qiaotou, only four colorful sheds were erected, which belonged to the four teams.If dignitaries like Duke and Marquis wanted to watch the excitement, they would occupy a good seat in a restaurant by the river bank.

The onlookers are already familiar with this, who makes themselves inferior to others?

The Guozijian was also on holiday on this day, and Liu Qiran was like a monkey in the wind, leading Gao Yi around the crowd, feeling inexplicably excited.

He just likes to mingle among the crowd, and feels that only at this time can he live a real life.

Wiping the sweat off his face, he asked Gao Yi, "Have you found any traces of the female relatives of the Tu family?"
