Song Huiyue walked up to the second floor and saw that it was also noisy on the second floor. There were people both inside and outside the pavilion. The only difference was that most of the people in the corridor were servants.
Li Jun shouted: "Xiao Tian!"
The voices of men, women, old and young were mixed together, some were high and some were low, and they were all suppressed by Li Jun. As a result, a series of responses came from the pavilion. Four or five pavilions opened their doors, and several small fields emerged from them.
Even among the servants, two Xiaotians stood out.
Looking at these different faces of Xiaotian, Li Jun's head was buzzing and he looked helplessly at Song Huiyue: "Let's go to the third floor."
The pavilion on the third floor is very expensive. Tian Jiguang has stayed in Kyoto for a long time and is accustomed to such expensiveness. If the lady is coming to visit, he will naturally book a good one.
The two of them walked all the way up. It was very quiet up there, but not deserted. The pavilion was spacious and there were few people sitting inside, but there were more servants standing outside than on the second floor. Song Huiyue and Li Jun arrived on the third floor.
At the entrance of the stairs, it attracted attention.
Just when Li Jun was about to yell for Xiao Tian again at the top of his lungs, Song Huiyue suddenly held him down.
Zhang Xutang was five steps in front of them and was looking back.
Seeing that it was Song Huiyue and the two of them, he simply turned around and walked three steps in their direction, stopping at a distance not far but not too close. The expression on his face was neither yin nor yang, as if Song Huiyue owed him a hundred dollars.
Wan's debt has not been repaid: "I didn't expect to see you here."
Song Huiyue did not hesitate to give in, and her expression did not make Zhang Xutang shy: "I didn't expect to see you here. After all, if you want to see the dragon boat, you can come and see it with your uncle on the tenth day of the lunar month."
At this point, she suddenly smiled: "Could it be that you came here specifically to see me?"
Zhang Xutang's heart suddenly beat loudly in his chest, as if he was asking Song Huiyue to talk about the central issue, and also as if his own unknown emotions were rising, shocking himself.
His face showed nothing at all, he just said with a strange look: "You are a person who went to sea to catch documents. You really shouldn't show up to see the dragon boat. Even if I don't do anything to you, someone will inevitably be overly enthusiastic and report you to the Yamen.
, when the time comes, King Jin and Commander Lou will have to spend a lot of time to fish you out."
Song Huiyue nodded: "What you said makes sense. In order to avoid causing trouble, I won't reminisce about the past with you here."
As she spoke, she walked around Zhang Xutang and walked towards Tian Jiguang with Li Jun. Tian Jiguang couldn't wait for a long time and had already opened the door of the attic and stuck out his head.
Zhang Xutang saw Song Huiyue and Li Jun entering the attic without any hesitation, and he also walked to the reserved attic.
Coincidentally, there was only a wall between Song Huiyue and him.
Because of this close distance, he couldn't help but smile a little. When Xiao Wei saw this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The interior of the pavilion is elegantly decorated. The charcoal basin has not been removed, but the charcoal fire has been lit very small. The window is half-open, so you can see the scenery of the pool, and you will not miss the big dragon boat coming out of the Okuwu.
He stood by the window and looked around, then looked around at the seats at the table, took a seat next to the wall and sat down.
Xiao Wei waved his hand and signaled the waiter behind him to come forward to pour tea and set the dishes, and then ordered the dishes to be laid. The sound of the gentle clinking of porcelain immediately rang out in the quiet attic.
Zhang Xutang pricked up his ears and listened to the sounds next door.
The window next door was opened, stools were moved, dishes and chopsticks were set, glasses were raised, and the natural movement also echoed the lively scene.
There was also a buzzing sound.
He waved away the little guard, who immediately led the people out. The attic door closed with a creak, and there was only one person left in the room.
He got up from the chair, walked to the wall, put his ear to the wall, and listened carefully to the sounds inside this time.
Li Jun talked about the origin of the big dragon boat in a rapid-fire manner, and said that the first big dragon boat was badly damaged, and now this is the second one. He also let Song Huiyue eat fish. The fish here are good, and they chatter endlessly.
.
Occasionally, Song Huiyue's laughing voice could be heard, but no one talked about him, as if he was not worth mentioning.
Zhang Xutang stood for a while and then sat back, trying his best to erase Song Huiyue from his mind. However, unknowingly, he picked up his chopsticks and reached for a fish on the table.
The fish was a good fish, and he had a good taste of it. He was thinking about the clothes Song Huiyue was wearing today - a newly cut light blue narrow-sleeved shirt. It looked good on her body, and it seemed to be embroidered in blue and purple.
hydrangeas.
He thought that he did not love Song Huiyue, but a partner who could fit his soul - the only person in the world who could see through him and understand him was Song Huiyue.
It's a pity that they are enemies.
Song Huiyue, who was next door, had already missed Zhang Xutang in her heart, so she didn't think about it anymore. She was eating her food slowly when she heard a noise like a mountain roaring and a tsunami coming from outside.
"The big dragon boat is about to leave the Aokwu!" Li Jun walked to the window with the wine glass in his hand, "Come and see, I wonder if Xiao is there?"
Song Huiyue stood up and walked over, followed closely by Tian Jiguang, with a happy smile on her face, thinking to herself: "This lady looks really good in this outfit."
The window faces the water, and you can see the situation in the pool when you stick your head out. The edge of the pool is crowded with people, and the crowd is still surging. The people at the front of the crowd fell into the water with a few "plops", and others went to save them.
It seems increasingly noisy and crowded.
The noise suddenly fell silent for a moment, and dozens of small dragon boats came out of the Owu first. On each boat stood a Du Yuhou, holding a colorful flag, followed by ten tiger-head boats and two flying fish boats, with royal guards on board.
Pedestrians and generals of the imperial army led the dragon boat out with dancing flags and drums.
Li Jundao: "I've never seen a dragon boat test the water. Look! The big dragon boat!"
He had not seen the dragon boat for many years.
When Prince Chen's Mansion was there, he followed Prince Chen directly and came to see the dragon boat on the day of the water battle. After Prince Chen's Mansion disappeared, he was too busy running around to see the big dragon boat.
Song Huiyue's eyes also fell on the big dragon boat.
The dragon boat sailed out of the Aowu, and gradually revealed its true appearance of splendor and grandeur. The five-story cabin was engraved with gold, which was dazzling and eye-catching. The last thing that appeared was the dragon head.
"Yinxiao!" Song Huiyue exclaimed.
Earth-shattering shouts were immediately heard from the shore.
Yin Xiao stands on the dragon's head, wearing a scarlet robe, with a red rope tied to his head. He is full of energy, has a clear and sharp face, and his eyes are like a torch. He holds a long pole with a brocade silver bowl hanging on it, and the six oars on the left and right are in unison under his command.
And move, rowing the dragon boat as if it were flying.
Su Ding stood on the Linshui Palace with a red flag to hail the boat. His face was expressionless and his heart was sour. He wished he could kick Yinxiao into the water and seize the benchmark himself.
Since Yinxiao became the commander-in-chief, his deputy commander became seriously ill and had to go to the Daxiangguo Temple several times before he recovered.
The big dragon boat, led by the small boat and the red flag, approached the water palace. Yin Xiao raised the pole high, shouted angrily, and inserted the pole into the water.
The long pole went into the water and was firmly inserted into the bottom of the water. The silver bowl above swayed lightly, shining with dazzling silver light under the sun.
On the tenth day of the lunar month, all the dragon boats will come to win the silver bowl on the benchmark pole.
The crowd roared again - no one has ever been able to insert such a long pole firmly and securely in one go.
Song Huiyue met Yourong and sighed: "What a wonderful Yinxiao!"
