The Red House of the Concubine of the Jia Family

Coming to Kuishui is a very important event for women in this era, which means that women have grown up and are ready to marry.Jia Xuan has been under the influence of this concept for so many years, so she attaches great importance to Cen'er's visit to sunflower water. Although Cen'er said it's okay, she still had a 'hot water bottle' and brown sugar water, including ginger Blister feet.

The "hot water bottle" of this era is not the same as the modern hot water bottle because there is no rubber. The "hot water bottle" of this era is a copper product called a copper cover, which is the size of a palm. It is also very useful to cover it with a cloth towel.

"Mom, this copper mask makes me sweat. But it's very comfortable..."

"It's right to be comfortable, and you should also pay attention in the future. When women come to sunflower water, they should keep warm, don't touch cold water, and don't be too tired, otherwise they will all suffer from the root of the disease..."

"En, mother, I know, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future, don't worry." Lu Cen'er wrapped herself in the blanket, watching Jia Xuan busy with her, the corners of her eyes were slightly sore. "Mom, you've been busy all day today, go back and have a rest, I'm fine."

"Mother is not tired, you squint for a while, mother will cook you your favorite hot and sour fish..."

For the next few days, Jia Xuan's mind was mostly on her daughter, and it was not until Lu Cen'er's sunflower water was gone a few days later that Jia Xuan focused on other things.It's already the beginning of May, and the Dragon Boat Festival will be in two days.

On May [-]th, planting mugwort leaves on the eaves, taking a moxa bath, wearing colorful thread, eating rice dumplings, and racing dragon boats are all traditional items.

In the early morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, Jia Xuan was busy with work. In the bath water prepared for the children, in addition to wormwood, Jia Xuan also put garlic leaves, calamus, etc. After taking a bath, Jia Xuan personally gave the children Children's wrists and ankles are tied with colorful threads representing blessings.Qi An thought he was getting old, and when Jia Xuan tied the colorful thread on his ankle, he was embarrassed and wanted to tie it by himself, but in the end Jia Xuan suppressed it by force.

After tying the colorful thread and putting on new clothes, Jia Xuan took a few children and went to watch the dragon boat race on the embankment where the location had been reserved in advance.

The dragon boat race is an event organized by the capital every year. I heard that the participating teams are all carefully selected. There are noble children, official children, and academy students. Present a visual feast.

On this day, the emperor and the empresses in the palace will also watch on the embankment, but they have special seats.Unlike Jia Xuan, they have to make an appointment with relevant people in advance.

"Mom, hurry up, it's about to start."

"If you are in a hurry, how can it be so fast? It will take a while." The dragon boat race usually does not start until Si o'clock, and now it is almost half an hour away.

"Mom, I think I saw Cousin Daiyu and the others."

"Where?"

"It seems to be over there..." Lu Qi'an pointed to the right uncertainly. There were really too many people, so he just glanced at it, as if he saw it, but he was not sure.

Because Lu Qi'an seemed to have seen Daiyu, after making arrangements with them, Jia Xuan arranged to go over to look for her. If Jia's family happened to be nearby, they would just go over to say hello.

"Aunt/Aunt..."

"It's really you guys. I thought Qi An was wrong. Come on, come and sit down. I specially prepared some melons and fruits. You cousins ​​can talk together... The old lady is here too?"

"The old lady didn't come because she thought it was too noisy, so the second wife brought us here. The second sister-in-law also came, and there happened to be guests over there, so we came to find Cen'er and aunt..."

"Okay, it's just right, our mother and I are worrying about being okay, it just so happens that we are happy and happy together, I heard that a new kind of embroidery pattern has recently appeared in Beijing..."

Jia Xuan and the others were chatting, but Lu Qi'an and Lu Xin'an couldn't get in the way. Just happened to meet two friends next to Lu Qi'an. The two brothers talked to Jia Xuan and the others, and then went to talk to their friends.

Jia Xuan and the others couldn't stop the car after chatting. It wasn't until the dragon boat race started that everyone came back to their senses and hurriedly looked down. Sure enough, all the teams were ready to stand by.

"You guys, don't go back, just look here, the view here is not bad." Daiyu Yingchun Tanchun nodded several times, "Then bother my aunt/aunt."

Not long after, another crisp rumbling sound was heard, and in an instant, the dozen or so teams rushed out like arrows leaving the string.

"Ahhh... it's started... the red team, come on, the red team, come on..."

"Brother-in-law, come on..."

Jia Xuan was affected by the atmosphere around her and was also very excited, but she was not like their little girls after all.I only raised my eyes to look at the dragon boat team in red clothes. Sure enough, the Fifth Prince, who was dressed in fiery red, was sitting at the head of the dragon, beating the drum vigorously. A little more wanton and free and easy aesthetic feeling.

Time flies so fast, unexpectedly, the child who was arrogant and arrogant and was almost abducted by someone, has now turned into a radiant young man, and soon, the baby girl who will marry her will enter the door.

"Ahhh... Hurry up, you're going to be overtaken, ah, overtaken..."

The members of the Red Clothes Team are all honorable children. These people usually do a lot of dandy things in the capital, but their physical strength and cooperation are really incomparable with other teams. At the beginning, they are very motivated, and they can still lead by one or two. , was slowly overtaken by other teams and fell to the third place, and now the leading team has become the other two teams, the black team and the green team, the two dragon boats are only half a leader away, and the competition is very fierce .

People on both sides of the strait cheered for each other's teams, everyone was full of energy and their voices were loud, but Jia Xuan didn't feel noisy at all. Instead, she felt that the atmosphere was very good and she was quite happy in it.

"Oh, mother, look, is there a fight over there?"

"Where is it?"

"Over there, look, over there..."

"It's not surprising to fight." Almost every year, people are beaten into the water, and even gang fights have occurred. What's so strange?Anyway, these people are all good at water, and there will be people watching beside them, so they can be caught in time, and nothing will happen.

"No, it's not on the dragon boat, it's...it seems to be the emperor over there..."

"Ah..." That action seemed to have been chopped off and thrown into the water. After Jia Xuan realized it, she immediately had people surround Cen'er and the others inside, and sent Qian Er and the others to look for Lu Qi'an nearby. brothers.

Fortunately, they took a lot of people out today, otherwise they wouldn't know what to do.

In such a short time, someone has already noticed that something is wrong there, there is chaos in the crowd, Jia Xuan asked the little girls to stay near the pavilion and not allowed to move around.

"Madam, find the young master and the second young master. Someone said, the young master, the second young master went there."

Jia Xuan saw that the direction of Qian Erzhi was the direction of the accident...
