Violation of the Red Chamber and Daiyu

Chapter 27 Watching the Dragon Boat Race

On the third day of junior high school, it was Xue Pan's birthday, so he had a banquet at home and invited theatrical troupe, and invited people from Jia's house to come and have fun.Because there was no such thing as Daiyu and Baoyu being angry, although Baoyu was annoyed because Taoist Zhang said he would marry him, it was not too much.Then they went to Xue's house with Jia Mu and the others.Daiyu excused that she was suffering from heatstroke and did not go.

At the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, it happened that Daiyu's Zhuangzi sent some fresh fruits and vegetables and eels.Daiyu asked Dongxiu to bring some people to send some everywhere, and she also ordered the kitchen to cook the eel while it was fresh.Nanny Zhang asked Daiyu to wash her face with wormwood, fumigate her clothes, and put a five-poison sachet on Daiyu.Mrs. Jia Muwang and Aunt Xue both gave Daiyu rice dumplings. Daiyu only ate a small rice dumpling with red bean paste, and the rest were divided among the people in the courtyard.And reward everyone with a tael of silver to drink, it's considered a festival.

Daiyu was watching the servants sweeping the courtyard, saying that they wanted to sweep away all sickness and bad luck.Seeing Yuanyang coming outside, Dongqing asked: "Sister Yuanyang is here, but is the old lady looking for our girl?" Yuanyang smiled and said, "It was Dongping County Prince's Mansion who sent a car and horse to pick up Miss Lin, saying it was the princess. I want to celebrate the festival with Miss Lin." The nuns cleaned up for Daiyu again, and Daiyu took the nuns and Dongqing Dongxiu to Jia Mu's house.

When I arrived at Jiamu's room, I saw all the people talking with Nanny Li.Seeing Daiyu coming, Nanny Li got up and said, "Miss Lin is here, let's go now." Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked, "Do you need sisters to go with the eldest girl?" Nanny Li laughed. "Is Wang Yiren worried about the palace?" Mrs. Wang said: "No, no, I don't dare." Jia Mu said: "Shut up now! Yu'er should go early, don't let the princess wait too long .” Daiyu resigned from the crowd and went out with Mother Li.

In the carriage, Daiyu looked out through the gauze curtain of the window, because today is the Dragon Boat Festival, people are coming and going on the street, and there are small stalls selling five poisonous sachets and colorful ropes, it is very lively.Daiyu looked at it and asked: "Mother, this doesn't seem to be the way to the palace?" Mother Li smiled and said, "What the girl said is that we are going out of the city. The princess and the princess are waiting outside the city. Let’s watch the dragon boat race together, girl.” Daiyu’s eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was able to go out of the city to watch the dragon boat race, which was really a great surprise.

When I saw the pier from a distance, I saw that the pier was surrounded by red curtains, the flags were flying, and there was a lot of people, which was very lively.Looking closer, there are temporary colored sheds on both sides of the river bank, and there are tables and chairs in the sheds, and there are many female relatives and maids and servants inside.There are officers and soldiers guarding each side of the shed.Nanny Li said: "Our lord has already booked a private room on the second floor of Ying'an Building, so we can see the scenery on the river and not be afraid of being bumped into." Because there are too many people, we can't drive, so Nanny Li had no choice but to After getting out of the car, someone carried a small sedan chair carried by two people for Daiyu to sit in, and carried Daiyu to the bottom of the restaurant.Nanny Zhang put the cap on Daiyu again, and Nanny Li led them into the restaurant.

When Daiyu and the others were about to go upstairs, they saw the Duke of Dongping coming down with his son and Marquis of Zhenbei.Daiyu and the others stood aside and saluted.The prince walked up to Daiyu and stopped and asked: "But Miss Lin is here?" Daiyu replied: "My daughter has seen the prince, and he is well." The prince said again: "It's all about friendship and calling me uncle You are too polite like your father." Then he said to Nanny Li: "I'm so good to take care of Miss Lin, I still have something to do, so let's go first." He nodded to Daiyu and walked out, Daiyu and the others Just went upstairs.

Entering the private room, the princess was drinking tea and chatting with a beautiful middle-aged woman, while the princess was lying on the window and looking out.Seeing Daiyu coming in, the little princess jumped up and took Daiyu's hand and said, "Sister Dai, you are here, I am so bored. Are you very happy that I asked you to come out!" The princess said: " Yao'er, you forgot the newly learned rules again? It's too ugly." The middle-aged beautiful woman said: "Yao'er is still young, she will have time to behave in the future." The little princess smiled at Daiyu and vomited. Tongue.

Daiyu took off her veiled hat and saluted the concubine, then the concubine said: "Yu'er, this is my elder sister, you can call her Mrs. Xiao." say.Presumably this is the mother of the Marquis of Zhenbei. Sure enough, seeing that her complexion turned pale, she had to take a good rest after saying a few words. It seemed that her body was really weak to a certain extent.It turned out that today the emperor accompanied the Taishanghuang to watch the game, and it was in the front restaurant near the river.The prince and the others went to the front to accompany the driver.

Mrs. Xiao said: "I only have one son, Che'er, and the master didn't leave a child from a concubine. If I have a daughter, I must take good care of her and don't want to take care of her." The princess said: "If my sister has Yao'er Such a daughter will give me such a headache." The little Princess smiled and said, "Mother Concubine wishes I could become a lady like Sister Dai." Daiyu said, "I am also naughty at home."

Mrs. Xiao took Daiyu's hand and talked with her again, asking her some questions, and Daiyu answered them one by one.Daiyu saw that she was really tired and panicked, so she said: "Ma'am, sit down and drink some tea, I will go with Yaoer to see if the boat race has started." The little princess hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, Sister Dai, I saw a very interesting person just now." He dragged Daiyu to the window, and there was a sheer curtain on the window, which seemed to be specially prepared for the women's relatives to watch the boat race.The little princess said: "If it weren't for the father, mother and concubine who insisted on staying in this private room, I'd like to go to that shed, which can be closer." Daiyu said: "You don't know the blessing even if you are in the blessing." .” Then he looked up the river.

At Sishi, Dai Quan, the eunuch representing the emperor, read out the sacrificial oration, and went to ring the gong in person, and the dragon boat race officially started.The little princess shouted loudly: "Brother, come on! Cousin, come on!" It turned out that the prince, Zhenbeihou and a group of royal children represented the royal family in the battle.For the rest, Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan, Liu Fang and others formed a representative team of aristocratic families; some sons of officials' families formed their own boats; each Qingliu family and merchant's family also sent boats to participate in the competition.

For a while, the drums on the river were loud, and all the boats rushed forward; on the river bank, there was the sound of cheering and cheering.I saw that the scratching hands of each boat were rowing vigorously, uniformly, and there were many half-sized children running with the dragon boats on the shore.The little princess looked at Zhile and said: "It would be great if women can row dragon boats, I will definitely be better than my brother." The princess laughed and said: "You are too nonsense." What about the women's rowing team.

The game is going on fiercely, the royal team and the family team are evenly matched, and they cannot give in to each other.The other teams followed closely behind.In the second half of the schedule, the competition became more and more intense.I saw a boat team composed of juniors from the military officer's family rushing to the front.The little princess suddenly said: "Oh, I was overtaken, brother, come on!"

In the end, it was the Royals who won the match, the Attachés second and the Family third.It seems that the military officers are not all brave and foolish, they know that they can't win the royal family.Dai Quan came out again and read out the rewards from the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, and everyone thanked them again.
