How to Be a Male Queen
Chapter 31 Dragon Boat Festival Selling Ships
【There is a big limelight】
When several dragon boats were halfway through, the river suddenly narrowed, so the dragon boats had to "grab the lane". If they succeed in grabbing the lane, they still have a chance of winning.
Jian Hao's dragon boat is wide and heavy, with heavy oars instead of light paddles on both sides, so the start is naturally a lot slower than others.However, he is in no hurry because he has a secret weapon.
The boats began to scramble, and Anmusi could see clearly from the shore, so he saw the opportunity and blew the horn.
Hearing this, the helmsman immediately sent out a signal.
Others only saw that the oarsmen not only did not row hard, but stopped.The next moment, the sound of "plopping" water sounded, and the "Jack" rushed forward by itself without anyone paddling.
The high bow plunged into the light and narrow dragon boats, knocking them to one side, and the huge water vortex gushing out of the stern seriously affected the course of the competitors.
When the others frantically stabilized the ship and adjusted the direction, the Jack had already swaggered forward amidst the sound of "plop plop", leaving a rippling water wave behind it.
All the people just stared blankly at Jack's automatic movement without wind and oars, and they were all dumbfounded.
Jian Xiaoshizi stood on the shore, bouncing and cheering with his arms raised.
"Ooh! Propeller! Propeller!"
"Win, win! Sure!"
There are two teenagers on the left and one on the right, one is tall and serious, the other is handsome and cute, all smiling happily at the same time.
Those who participated in the competition looked at the big strange ship miraculously rushing to the finish line, and then looked at these three miraculous teenagers, some admired, some hated, and some were curious.
No matter what their moods were, they could not stop the pace of history, allowing these three immature young people to step up to the Great Xia Dynasty, and even the position that no one in the entire Eastern World could match.
The Jack came to a stop at the finish line brazenly, while the other dragon boats rushed past.
The emperor's flying dragon team looked at the members of the "Jack team" who were a little shocked even by themselves, and their eyes could almost burst into flames.
Jian Hao happily took his two little friends to thank him, with crooked eyebrows and a smile that could see his teeth but see his eyes.
The little beauty's cousin has a face. Although his own dragon boat suffered a disaster, His Royal Highness is still very happy.He looked at Jian Hao with admiration in his eyes.
Although the emperor had a smile on his lips, anger was contained in his eyes.
The corner of his robe is still wet, and a large piece of lacquer has been knocked off the dragon boat. If he didn't have the last bit of self-restraint, he would have asked someone to fork out these three ignorant guys.
As for rewards... Heh!
The emperor's heart has never been very broad, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that at this moment, there are countless people waiting to see these three young boys be punished.
The emperor glanced at the zongzi on the table, coughed lightly, and was about to speak when His Royal Highness Ping Wang suddenly said, "The dragon boat is very unique, come here, and I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver."
He forcefully suppressed the emperor's words of "rewarding rice dumplings".
Jian Hao turned his head and looked at him in surprise.
——What's the matter with this person?Didn't you give him a cold face before?I met them on the road and pretended not to know each other. Hmph, I am so angry that I don’t want your money!
The little eunuch held the reward from His Royal Highness King Ping and sent it to Jian Hao respectfully.
Unexpectedly, Jian Xiaoshi snorted, turned his face away, and didn't pick it up, nor thanked him.
But Li Shu was so anxious that he kept giving him winks in private, but Jian Haoquan pretended he didn't see it.
The people present were blinded again, what's going on?This little son brushed His Highness King Ping's face?
The emperor's complexion was obviously much better, King Ping and Jian's mansion were so incompatible!
Some were gloating, some were worried, and almost everyone believed that the iron-blooded and ruthless Prince Ping would definitely turn his back on him.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yuan just stood up, walked over unhurriedly, took two 500 taels of silver bills with his own hands, and stuffed them into the hands of Mr. Jian Xiaoshi.
Prince Jian seemed to have done something. King Ping's figure was too tall, blocking the sight of others. When he straightened up, everyone saw Prince Jian handing the money to the boy from the Li family next to him. A deep bow.
His Highness Prince Ping turned around and left, his face was expressionless when he came and went, but those who were familiar with him clearly saw the joy in his eyes.
However, Jian Xiaoshi looked full of anger - he dared to refuse the reward from His Royal Highness King Ping, and when he got the money, he not only refused to thank you, but also showed his face...
The first time Jian Xiaoshizi appeared in the aristocratic circle, he left a deep impression on people with his "fresh painting style".
Naturally, the emperor couldn't let King Ping overwhelm him, so he had no choice but to withdraw his previous thoughts of revenge. Not only did he reward 2000 taels of silver, but he also gave a few words of encouragement with a loving look.
Li Shu was the only one among the three who understood the situation in the court, and he was exhausted for the emperor.
The emperor finally threw them a big plate of zongzi, the one that was served first and had gone cold.
But Jian Hao didn't care at all. Later, he won the reward from the prince, the king Xian, the son of Prince An, and Princess Tokugawa, etc. Then he hugged happily and shared it with his friends. up.
***
After the banquet was over, the emperor retreated to the other courtyard, and the concubines naturally followed, and the others were free to move about.
The prince originally wanted to go to play with Jian Hao, but was called away by his father, and there was a flash of reluctance in his eyes.
Concubine Chen and the Second Prince saw it, and exchanged meaningful glances.
With a cold face, Zhongshushe called his eldest son-in-law, second son-in-law, and third son-in-law to his side, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Little Shu is so nonsense, why don't you stop it?"
The eldest son-in-law, as a representative, bowed and replied: "The younger son-in-law and the others just helped the little secretary to buy the bills, and they didn't know the style of the dragon boat in advance."
Zhongshusheren stared, "You really don't know?"
The second son-in-law and the third son-in-law tied their heads and remained silent, but the elder son-in-law replied without changing his face: "Not only does the younger son-in-law not know, but the younger son-in-law guesses that Xiaoshu must also not know."
Compared with his indifference, Zhongshusheren was obviously a little fussed. He stared and guessed: "You mean... this is all the idea of that little prince Jian?"
The eldest son-in-law lowered his head and said nothing, in the eyes of the other party, it was tantamount to acquiescing.
Zhongshusheren snorted, and said in a low voice: "We must never let him associate with Mr. Jane again!"
He dropped this sentence and walked away.
Min Jiangbai and Ning Zixi looked at each other, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother-in-law, we really want to confront my father-in-law..." Why?
Yue Minglang calmly said, "It's okay."
Inside the warm cabinet.
Gu Feibai checked the doors and windows to make sure no one was bugging, and then nodded to Qin Yuan.
Lin Mingzhi changed from his usual gentle smile, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, that boat must be equipped with very delicate things, presumably at the stern!"
Qin Yuan naturally also saw that the dragon boat moved without wind, and a huge splash was stirred up at the stern of the boat. He sat far away in the pavilion and couldn't see clearly.
Gu Feibai turned his head to look at Qin Laojiu, "You are standing closest, but you can see clearly? Did they make any special moves?"
Qin Laojiu scratched his head, and said embarrassingly, "I just saw the little curly hair, and didn't pay attention to that strange ship!"
Gu Feibai raised his sword, wishing he could beat him up, but fortunately he was stopped by Haiyan, so he didn't put any trouble on King Ping.
Lin Mingzhi sighed insignificantly and shook his head.
"Some people really can't count on it at all!" Gu Feibai expressed the aspirations of everyone.
He Qing came out from the corner and said weakly: "I saw..."
The eyes of the whole room were all on his face.
He Qing swallowed, opened a pair of wet eyes and said intermittently: "They, there is a round thing behind their boat, like, like a four-leaf clover... There are two people sitting in the stern. At first, they didn't move. , Then they stomped hard on what looked like wheels, and the boat became very fast..."
Qin Yuan frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
Lin Mingzhi asked eagerly: "What kind of 'four-leaf clover'?"
"It's just a four-leaf clover!" He Qing scratched his head.
Qin Laojiu was despised by everyone just now, and was feeling ashamed. Hearing them guessing here and there, he said angrily: "What's the use of guessing for a long time? If you really want to know, ask for that broken boat to come over and take a look." Just look at it!"
Jian Hao didn't hide it from him when he was building the boat before. He had seen the "four-leaf clover" that He Qing mentioned a long time ago, but he just didn't pay attention to it.
——Fortunately, he didn't say this in front of everyone, otherwise he would have been sent back to Lingnan even if he hadn't been beaten to death.
Even so, he was despised.
Gu Feibai knocked on his head, gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to come over, I will obey you."
Qin Laojiu scratched the knocked place, and said naively: "If you don't come here, buy it, that guy looks like a money addict."
Gu Fei rolled his eyes, "Go buy one and try it? If you can buy it, I'll treat you to three drinks!"
When Qin Laojiu heard this, he immediately became interested, "What you said is true?"
Gu Feibai responded angrily: "Don't worry, it won't be fake."
Therefore, Qin Laojiu went to Jian Hao confidently.
At that time, three teenagers were squatting under a big willow tree by the river to eat rice dumplings.Sitting next to him was a handsome young man.
"Brother-in-law, why don't you just sit and eat together?" Jian Hao pushed the messy rice dumpling plate to Yue Minglang.
Yue Minglang had long understood Jian Hao's unique temperament, and was not at all surprised by his "brother-in-law".He raised the corners of his lips and replied, "I just had my meal, and I'm not hungry."
That smile is endowed with the scenery of Jiyue, handsome and unparalleled.
Jian Hao was stunned, looked at Li Shu with bright eyes, and whispered very loudly: "Our brother-in-law is so handsome!"
Li Shu buried his head, and nodded without hesitation while eating rice dumplings. He knew that "handsome" in Jian Hao's mouth meant handsome.
——His eldest brother-in-law is naturally handsome, and he is the most handsome of all brother-in-laws.
Yue Minglang saw Li Shu nod his head, and a clear and shallow smile appeared on Junyi's face.
Jian Hao glanced carelessly, and was struck by the handsomeness again.
Qin Laojiu came here at this time.
When he saw Jian Hao and the others eating rice dumplings, he couldn't help curling his lips—they haven't eaten for a long time, all because of this little curly hair!
Qin Laojiu said bluntly, "Hey, little curly hair."
Jian Hao glanced at him and said, "Big blackhead."
Qin Laojiu stared, then thought of Gu Feibai's three banquets, so he asked patiently, "Can you sell the dragon boat?"
Jian Hao originally wanted him to "scroll", but for some reason, he rolled his eyes, and his heart began to boil.
He kicked Li Shu, "Xiao Lizi, do you sell dragon boats?"
Li Shuzheng was stretching out a small white hand to pick up the rice dumplings, and replied indifferently: "You have the final say."
Jian Hao glanced at Qin Laojiu, "It depends on how much you pay."
"How much do you want?" Qin Laojiu recognized that it was just a broken boat.
Jian Xiaoshi kicked Li Shu again, "You are in charge, how much do you want?"
Li Shu poked his brother-in-law with his dirty paw, "Brother-in-law, how much do you want?"
Yue Minglang glanced at Qin Laojiu indifferently, not missing the Lingnan Army badge on his waist, and then said: "At least a thousand taels..."
Qin Laojiu stared.
"Gold." Yue Minglang added flatly.
Jian Hao was taken aback in his heart, but tried his best to maintain a look of indifference on the surface. He pretended to be very disdainful, and squinted at Qin Laojiu, "Did you hear that?"
Qin Laojiu was furious, "1000 taels! Gold! You might as well grab it!"
Jian Hao also got angry, and threw the zongzi skin on him, "Go, go, go if you don't have money, we don't have zongzi for you."
When Qin Laojiu went back, the air in his lungs hadn't dissipated.
He squinted his eyes and slapped the table, "Do you know how much he sold? 1000 taels of gold! A broken boat! Hack him!"
Lin Mingzhi showed an expression of disbelief.
A trace of obvious surprise flashed across Qin Yuan's eyes.
When several dragon boats were halfway through, the river suddenly narrowed, so the dragon boats had to "grab the lane". If they succeed in grabbing the lane, they still have a chance of winning.

A trace of obvious surprise flashed across Qin Yuan's eyes.
