rebirth first official

It's the Dragon Boat Festival in a blink of an eye.

At Chenshi, a group of rich and powerful children in fresh clothes and angry horses set off from Zongxue, and rode their horses to Yuhe in a mighty way.

The roads along the way have been cleared, and guards stand guard on both sides, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter the roads.The people stretched their necks to look at each other outside the line of defense of the guards, chatting noisily.

"Hey, which high-ranking official do you think is traveling? The roads are blocked! I'm rushing to the west of the city to deliver zongzi to my cousin's house!"

"It must be a high-ranking official. With so many officers and soldiers invited to open the way, how come it must be a first- and second-rank high-ranking official? You should take a detour. I see this battle, who knows when it will be released."

"Hey, could it be that the emperor is out of the palace? So today is the Dragon Boat Festival! I watched the battle and dared to seal off the roads. The first and second rank officials are not qualified enough. How can they be people in the palace?" Right! I came from Yuhe just now, and I heard that there is a big boat prepared there, and some nobleman will take a boat cruise in a while, is it the emperor? Or a concubine in the harem?"

"Come on, take a closer look at the badges worn by these officers and soldiers. Do you see that it says Gao? What kind of emperor? Those are the Gao family!"

As soon as this person's voice fell, the surroundings echoed.

"Oh, so it's from the Gao family, so it's no wonder."

"I just said, except for the Gao family, who would be so flamboyant!"

"The Dragon Boat Festival dares to disturb the people like this, if it weren't for the Gao family, who would have the guts."

"Then the boat on the Yuhe River also belongs to the Gao family? It was blocked by officers and soldiers just now, and I didn't see it clearly. Since it belongs to the Gao family, I have to take a closer look later. Is the boat made of gold or not?" Pearl-studded!"

"Hey, it's not all the money robbed from us ordinary people!"

Not long after, a group of youths strenuously galloped past the main road of the capital on horseback, bringing up a cloud of flying dust, and the surrounding people avoided and dispersed.

Gao Zhanming followed the team on horseback, he was also very shocked.He didn't expect that Gao Huachong would send troops to seal off the road, just for the sake of their children to be able to pass through unimpeded. Is it really okay to disturb the people like this?What's even more frightening is that, except for him, all the children around him looked normal, and there was no objection or even surprise to this. How far this Gao family has covered the sky with one hand in the capital!

Not long after, a group of disciples rode to the bank of the Yu River.The officers and soldiers of the guards had already given way, and what came into view was a magnificent boat, which could no longer be called a dragon boat, it was more like a huge painted boat, with carved beams and painted buildings on the boat body, and the most striking thing was that the bow of the boat was built into a In the shape of a dragon head, the carved dragon is three-dimensional and lifelike. The scales on the dragon head are paved with turquoise, the dragon's eyes are inlaid with jade, and the dragon's tentacles are made of natural coral stone!It can be said that this huge painting boat is inlaid with expensive gemstones, and ordinary people can live for several years if they pick one at random!

When he got close to the bank of the Yu River, Gao Zhanming realized that this painting boat was simply too big, not only could it accommodate fifty or sixty of their Zongxue disciples, it would not be a problem to accommodate hundreds of people!

Gao Zhanming got off the horse first, and the rest of the children jumped off the horse one after another, and the officers and soldiers at the side immediately came to take the horse away.

Gao Huachong said: "The construction of this dragon boat started in October last year, and it was completed in March this year. The construction was rushed, so the workmanship is rough. Brothers, please forgive me."

All the children flattered and responded: "Don't you dare? It's our great honor for the second master to invite us brothers here today."

Gao Huachong smiled slightly, and said: "Not much gossip, the wine has been prepared on the boat, today all our brothers are laughing and talking freely on the Yuhe River, expressing our hearts freely!"

Gao Zhanming said in his heart: The dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival originally originated from the ancients offering sacrifices to the water god, and later became an interesting event for the common people to celebrate the festival.When it came to Gao Huachong, he felt that the children of the rich and powerful had lost their status by racing dragon boats on the Yuhe River, so it was really nondescript to have someone build such a luxurious "dragon boat".

But the others didn't care about this, Gao Huachong was the first to set foot on the boat, and the rest of the children boarded the boat in turn according to their status.

The layout outside the ship is already extremely luxurious, and the decoration inside the ship is even more gorgeous.The entire painting boat has three floors. The lobby on the first floor is spacious and empty, as if it was prepared for a show. The middle part of the second and third floors is connected to the lobby, surrounded by tables and chairs. The tables and chairs are all made of sandalwood. Sitting in front of the tables and chairs , looking outside is the scenery around Yuhe, looking inside is the lobby on the first floor.Each floor is covered with thick Persian carpets, and when you step on it, you feel as light as if you are in a cloud.Wine bottles and wine cups are already prepared on the table, all made of ivory, extravagant.

The disciples found seats to sit down one after another. The descendants of the Gao family sat on the east side of the second floor of the painting boat, the disciples of the side branches sat on the other sides, and the rest of the descendants went up to the third floor.Gao Zhanming and Gao Tianwen sat at the table next to Gao Huachong, while Han Baiyue sat at the same table with Gao Huachong, with an aboveboard appearance, as if afraid that others would not know their relationship.

After all the disciples were seated, dozens of prostitutes slowly walked into the painting boat and arrived at the lobby on the first floor.I saw them dressed in jun uniforms, with flowing ribbons on their bodies, and each of them was born in pink and jade carvings, like 33 heavenly women and 72 cave gods.

A smile curled up at the corner of Han Baiyue's mouth, and she said in a calm voice, "Isn't this a prostitute from Fenghua Building?"

Gao Zhanming was not angry when he heard it, but just smiled indifferently.

After a while, the boat started.Gao Zhanming looked out the window and saw dozens of trackers standing on both sides of the river. In order to pull such a huge painting boat, they bent forward with difficulty, so that the painting boat made of gold and silver could move in the Yuhe River.

Beyond the guardrails on both sides of the strait, there were indeed tens of thousands of people crowding around, competing to watch how extravagant and extravagant these rich and powerful children were.

The beautiful prostitutes below have begun to dance and sing, and the dudes above have also begun to drink and have fun.

Gao Zhanming sometimes watched the female performers singing and dancing, and sometimes looked out the window.He is thinking about tomorrow.

Gao Huachong also seemed to be absent-minded, Han Baiyue talked to him, but he ignored him, his eyes "casually" glanced at Gao Zhanming from time to time.

In the blink of an eye, at noon, the boat stopped on the shore for a while, and hundreds of beautiful maidservants were already waiting in line on the shore with trays.As soon as the boat landed, the maidservants took turns boarding the boat and presenting delicacies to these dandies.Bird's nest, abalone, ginseng soup, beef... the dishes are extremely luxurious, not only the children of middle school students have a share, but also the female performers can enjoy expensive delicacies from mountains and seas.

The last dish was actually a rice dumpling for each person.This zongzi looked strange among the piles of delicacies from mountains and seas. Gao Zhanming curiously opened the zongzi, and saw that it was actually an eight-treasure rice dumpling, filled with sea cucumber, deer tail, leopard fetus, etc. He couldn't help laughing.Dare to ask Gao Huachong to round up all the expensive ingredients that he couldn't buy in the market in one go.At first he took back 5 taels of silver from Tang Gan, and he was a little proud, but now seeing how these rich and powerful children burned the money, he realized that 5 taels was just a small sum.

After lunch, the trackers continued to pull the fibers, and the huge "dragon boat" started driving in the Yuhe River again.

After eating, Gao Huachong suddenly walked up to Gao Zhanming: "Follow me, I have something to ask you."

Han Baiyue frowned behind Gao Huachong, and said displeasedly: "Second Master..."

Gao Huachong ignored him.

Gao Zhanming got up and followed Gao Huachong out of the hall, to the side of the boat.

The people on the shore have almost broken through the fence. This is the first time they have seen such a huge and gorgeous painting boat. The sound of singing and laughter is constantly heard from the painting boat. Just now there are hundreds of beautiful maidservants coming in and out of the boat, which made them look straight. .At this time, two young gentlemen came out of the cabin and came to the side of the ship. Their eyes all focused on these two people and pointed at them.

Gao Huachong smiled coldly: "Look, everyone is watching."

Gao Zhanming laughed and said, "Cousin, why do you think they are looking at us?" He has been a commoner himself, and he knows what the common people think.Gao Huachong is so laborious and wasteful, that he made such a big battle in order to entertain a group of dudes who have no rank. The common people may find it strange for a while, but the most important thing is that they will definitely treat these dignitaries who seek the favor of the people. They hate it.

Gao Huachong shrugged: "What do they think, what does it matter to me? They are just ants."

Gao Zhanming used to only know that the Gao family was extravagant, but seeing it with his own eyes today, he realized how powerful this extravagance is!The daily money spent today is probably tens of thousands, which is enough to support many ordinary families.These rich and powerful children were born rich, they got it too easily, and they were educated by class when they were young. They always judged people to death based on their birth. The truth in the book that water can carry a boat can also capsize it. Can't feel it.The reason why the Gao family is so rich today is because they are in charge of the salt industry and the mining industry, but these privileges are gifts from the heavenly family. As long as there are stronger people in power, the situation will change in a blink of an eye.The disciples of the Gao family didn't even understand the principle of a big tree attracting the wind. I'm afraid the Gao family's downfall will come sooner than he expected.

Gao Huachong said: "Have you considered what I asked you to consider?"

Gao Zhanming just listened to a joke and remained indifferent: "If my cousin has nothing else to do, I'll go back and drink first."

Gao Huachong said coldly: "Jun Liang, I won't give you a chance forever. After today, if you kneel and kowtow again, I won't accept it. As long as you kneel to me in front of the whole capital today , I can restore the old relationship with you."

Gao Zhanming laughed angrily: "Cousin, do you owe people to kneel like this?"

Gao Huachong narrowed his eyes, and said with a sneer: "You flatter the professor, because you want him to recommend you to the court? If you want to do this, I will make you unable to do it! You are just a slut, why don't you just keep learning?" Your mother."

Gao Zhanming was too lazy to talk to him and was about to leave when Gao Huachong raised his voice: "This is your last chance!"

Gao Zhanming stopped, took a deep breath, and said word by word: "Give me a chance? Gao Zihui, you gave me a chance by buying the [-] sticks that Zongzheng hit me that day? You led all the students in the school to exclude me and humiliate me , is also giving me a chance? What a great chance! If possible, I would rather you never have to give me such a chance in your whole life!"

Gao Zhanming put aside these words and wanted to go back to the cabin.But when he turned around, he saw a small boat on the Yu River floating towards them, it was already very close, but just now he and Gao Huachong argued, no one noticed.

There were two men sitting on the boat, one was wearing a red robe, he was very young, about 20 years old, the other was wearing a blue robe, he was a little older, he seemed to be in his [-]s or [-]s.

Gao Zhanming was stunned——Gao Huachong ordered people to block the entire Yuhe River today, and no other ships were allowed to enter. How did these two people get in?
