Red makeup against the world

Chapter 375 Watching the Game

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Wanzhen finally figured it out, and said: "I think General Wu is here to protect his soldiers?"

Seeing that she understood so quickly, Shi Jingyu's eyes showed a hint of admiration.Although this righteous sister came from a humble background, Bingxue was very smart.

She nodded and said: "Exactly. There was a dragon boat race a few years ago, and the Beiya army was about to win the first place, but it was knocked over by the boat at the Gyeonggi Daying, and all the people in the boat fell into the water." .”

As she spoke, she was terrified, covered her face with a silk fan and said, "I just turned 12 years old that time, and I was also in this perfume pavilion. That day, the scene was chaotic, with countless people walking around. I didn't know until later , the second son of Uncle Yongle's mansion was seriously injured in that accident and died within a few days."

"Ah?" Xu Wan was really surprised that someone died?

Shi Jingyu nodded, and said: "In the Sixth Army of the Beiya, they are all the sons of powerful and powerful people. Apart from the dead, several others were injured. How could their parents be willing to let it go? It was the most intense conflict between the two sides, and in the end it was The emperor came forward to mediate, but the enmity is even greater."

"That's why General Wu personally led the team to participate in the competition." Xu Wanzhen whispered to herself, so there was such an allusion in it.

……

On the river bank, people watched the game intently.At this time, it was the dragon boats of Gyeonggi Daying that were far ahead, and the shouts of their colleagues and relatives shook the sky.

For the convenience of the game, the men on the boat only wore sinus pants and went into battle shirtless.From the right shoulder to the waist, only a bright red cloth strip was tied to cover it up.

But such a cover-up, how can it block the fleshy tendons of the whole body?
The sun was scorching hot, making the splashes of water glisten.The men paddled the oars in their hands vigorously, and the muscles on their bodies undulated with their movements, shining brightly in the sun.

The old men came here to watch the game, but the scene in front of them was the favorite of the big girls and the young wives.Although the daughters-in-law were a little shy, they were laughing and joking with each other, watching grandly.

The big girls are much more reserved, they cover their eyes with their hands and watch quietly through the gaps between their fingers.

The race on the river was in full swing, and after only a few breaths, the dragon boat from Prince Qi's Mansion overtook the boat from the Prince's Mansion, caught up, and headed straight for the dragon boat at Gyeonggi Daying, which was far ahead.

At this time, half of the race schedule was over, and this change shocked the spirits of the watching crowd, who immediately applauded and cheered.

The Tu family took a place on the river bank near the end.Of course, the location here is not good, and most of the schedule ahead can't be seen.But seeing the most exciting parts is also a worthwhile trip.

The servants of the Tu family spread out all around, barely leaving an empty seat.Mrs. Li brought two sisters, Tu Manfen and Tu Manzhen, and Mrs. Yan took Tu Ruizhang among them.

Tu Ruiming, Li's eldest son, is also here. He usually studies hard in the academy and rarely shows up.At this time, it was Lin's order to come to protect these female relatives.

Tu Manzhen lay on the stone railing by the river, leaned out half of her body, and stared intently at the several dragon boats coming from afar.

With an excited expression and a pure smile on her face, she shook Tu Manfen beside her and said, "Sister, come here! Look quickly." After squinting her eyes for a long time, she said dejectedly: "Oh, it's really too far away. Can’t even see who No.1 is?”

Tu Manfen patted her excited hand amusedly, and said, "So excited? It's normal to not be able to see it because it's so far away. When we get here, we'll see it clearly."

Tu Manzhen stomped her feet and said, "It's all my sister. I said I would go out early, but my sister took a lot of time combing her hair. This place is so bad, I can't see it at all!"

"Yes, yes, it's all my sister's fault!" Tu Manfen has long passed the age of watching the excitement, coaxing her sister repeatedly.

Looking at the two sisters lying on the railing and laughing at Yan Yan, Li Shi secretly sighed.Thinking about what her husband told her before going out, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Tu Bowen said: "Father has detained Liu Qiran in the Guozijian for almost a month. He said that he is inside and abides by the rules very seriously. He really sincerely wants to ask to marry our Zhen'er. What the father means is that he can marry this family." It's the best. Most of you will meet him when you go out this time, so try to let him and Zhen'er have a few words alone."

Seeing her hesitation, Tu Bowen sighed and said, "I'm not selling my daughter. But I'm the eldest son, so I have to think about the family. It's best to let Zhen'er marry her willingly."

The meaning of his words is very clear, Li Shi thought gloomily.It's best to be willing, but even if not, you have to marry for the sake of the Tu family, right?
Is the daughter I hold in my hand really going to marry that prodigal?The more Li thought about it, the more unwilling she became.

Tu Ruizhang was riding on the neck of his eldest brother Tu Ruiming, looking left and right, his vision was broad and tight.He rarely came out to play, holding candied haws in his left hand and grabbing his eldest brother's hair with his right hand.

Tu Ruiming is a good-natured person, and he doesn't feel annoyed when his hair is pulled. He protects Tu Ruizhang around his neck with both hands, lest he accidentally fall off.

Seeing the dragon boat coming from a distance, Tu Ruizhang shouted excitedly and danced: "Brother! Look, the dragon boat is coming."

When he moved, he forgot that he was still pulling Tu Ruiming's hair in his hands, and Tu Ruiming hissed in pain.

Tu Ruizhang looked at the black hairs in his hands and was startled. He quickly rubbed the top of his elder brother's head, and asked cautiously, "Brother, does it hurt?" He put the candied haws in his hand near his mouth, and said flatteringly: "I invite you to eat candied haws, fly away in pain!"

Looking at the candied haws with Tu Ruizhang's saliva still in front of him, a haze flashed quickly in Tu Ruiming's eyes.But immediately, he calmed down and said with a smile: "What is this little pain, brother knows that you didn't mean it."

Seeing this scene, Jiuxing, his long follower, couldn't bear it for a while.Although my young master is the eldest son of the Tu family, as a concubine, no matter how hard he studies, his status is not comparable to that of his son, Tu Ruizhang.

He took a step forward and said: "The eldest young master is working too hard, why don't I carry the young young master?"

Tu Ruiming waved his hand and said, "It's okay, what's so hard for my brother?"

Two young servants squeezed through the crowd, one of them pointed to Tu Ruizhang who was being carried on his back and said, "Look at this young master, does he look familiar?"

The other looked carefully and nodded: "Well, it looks like the young master of the Tu family."

"We found it! Come on, let's get closer and take a closer look."

These two are the servants Liu Qiran sent out to find the Tu family. Because of the relationship between the two families, the servants of the Liu family are very familiar with the masters of the Tu family.

At this time, Liu Qiran changed his mind and wanted to pursue Tu Manzhen, which happened to be convenient.
