Chapter 278: Attempt
But Chu Xinyu returned to the bank of the dragon boat racing river. The surroundings were surrounded by people. The emperor and the nobles in the palace were in the high stands in the north, and the imperial guards were standing one by one, while the common people were on the flat ground in the south, afraid that the people would rush to the nobles and bump into the nobles. Fences were set up here and officers and soldiers were sent to maintain order.
The people abide by the rules very much, and there was no rush. Through their relationship, Sun Ruoya left a great position in the stands.
This is the first time Chu Xinyu has seen such a large lineup of dragon boat races. Although she had seen dragon boats in her previous world, the podium is simply incomparable to this place.
Their dragon boat race has not yet begun, but the colorful and mighty dragon boats here are already listed on the water. There are inverted gold hooks on the bow, flag climbing, and miscellaneous plays in the water. Each has its own tricks just to attract everyone's attention and cheer for them at that time.
Chu Xinyu and several sisters watched a wooden board about twenty centimeters wide in the water. Someone was dancing lions on it. There were several stakes on both sides of the board. The lion dancer jumped flexibly on it, and cooperated with the person at the tail behind it.
He was dancing on the wooden board for a while, and then jumped on the wooden stake again. He stepped on the stake with one foot and raised his other leg, jumping flexibly, performing various dangerous movements, which made people feel anxious, for fear that they would fall into the water if they stepped on their feet.
But the man with lion head danced on the shoulders of the dancer's tail, leaned forward repeatedly, and looked like he was about to fall, making people roar and laugh.
When he saw the wonderful thing, Concubine Qi suddenly sent someone to send a message saying that she wanted to meet a girl over fifteen years old, under eighteen years old, but not married.
Chu Xinyu frowned. She was the only one who married Chu Jiapeng here, and they were all gone, and the two of them were left watching. In fact, there was nothing wrong with it. They were just suspicious of Concubine Qi's motive.
She didn't deal with Concubine Qi, but she knew who she was, and she would not invite girls who were not married for no reason.
An Qilan leaned into her ear and whispered: "You have noticed today that some girls are dressed very beautifully, wearing new clothes and beautiful hairpins."
After hearing what she said, Chu Xinyu recalled that this was indeed the case. Just ask An Qilan what was going on?
An Qilan said: "Didn't you say last time that the emperor wanted to marry a few princes on the Dragon Boat Festival?"
Chu Xinyu nodded, it was indeed true.
"Later, at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the emperor had already married the prince, but Concubine Qi said that there are some noble children who are not married, so it is better to pair them on the Dragon Boat Festival."
"How can this happen?" Isn't this a random pairing? Chu Xinyu thinks such a pairing is a bit dangerous. What if he pairs up with a playboy, wouldn't it be like this for the rest of his life?
The other girls are not related to her business, but she is worried about her second sister and Chu Jiayu's marriage. Perhaps Chu Jiayu is a concubine and may not be favored by her identity.
In the past, Chu Jiayi rarely appeared in front of others because she was married, so many people only knew the third and sixth girls in the Zhongyi Hou Mansion. She had no impression of the second girls in the third room at all, but a girl like her who looked small and beautiful and gentle and restrained, once she appeared in front of others, she was very popular.
So Chu Xinyu had a bad premonition at this moment, but she couldn't tell them not to go.
When only she and Chu Jiapeng were left in the stands, someone squeezed over here. Three gorgeously dressed young men came up. The two guards left by Lan Yi and Sun Ruoya came forward to block them and were entangled by the entourage beside them.
"Two girls, it's a bit lonely to watch the dragon boat race here. Why don't we brothers come and accompany you?" The young man wearing green clothes like a peacock, shook his folding fan in his hand casually.
"Yes, someone will accompany you to watch it. It will be exciting to explain it to you slowly." Another young man in blue and blue clothes echoed.
Chu Jiapeng pulled Chu Xinyu behind without any trace. Her inadvertent action made Chu Xinyu's heart instantly pass through a warm current. He heard Chu Jiapeng's voice say coldly: "We don't need anyone to accompany you. Thank you for your kindness. The so-called "men and women will not be able to get married, please go down."
At that time, Sun Ruoya chose to watch the dragon boat race here because it was far away from the emperor's stands and there was no need to deal with the noble girls. But the only disadvantage was that there were dragons and snakes here, so she brought more guards. But when they left just now, they took some away, leaving only two, because there were Lan Yi here and there were details in the dark, so they were more at ease.
But I didn't expect that these people came up so bravely to harass them. Is they too confident in themselves or they don't know who they are?
"Let's search and kiss you."
The young man in the green flower clothes smiled and he even held Chu Jiapeng's chin with a folding fan. Chu Jiapeng turned his face away. Chu Xinyu's face suddenly darkened. She pulled Chu Jiapeng backward, then reached out to push away the folding fan of the young man in the green flower clothes.
"Who are you?" Chu Xinyu raised his little face and asked directly to the other party's eyes.
The young man in green flowers was stunned. He felt a powerful pressure from her plain eyes, which were as bright as stars. He did not dare to look directly at her eyes, and moved a little, his voice was hesitant, "Here is Wu Wenshen, one of the four talents in the capital."
Somehow, he originally wanted to say that his father was a minister of Taichang Temple, but then he thought about it and reported his title in the capital, which gave her a good impression that he was not those disciples.
However, Chu Xinyu doesn't care whether you are a prodigal son or not, the one who just chats with girls is a prodigal son. What's more, she knows what the so-called four talented men in the capital are. These people rely on their family background and some talent to claim to be talented in the capital, but they have caused a lot of romantic affairs. Therefore, they are over 23 years old, and none of them are willing to marry them as their wives.
"Since you are a talented man, even a person who is familiar with the books of sages, why do you still say something like Soosou?" What does Soosou mean? A three-year-old child can understand it, and it is obviously a vulgar word.
"Girl, we just want to get to know you, and there is no other meaning." The man in white who came up silently said.
This man looks feminine and handsome. When he looks at it, he thought he was a woman, but his eyes were too sharp, so it was easy for people to ignore his relationship.
No other meaning?
Chu Xinyu sneered in her heart. For some reason, she didn't like this man. She didn't like him from the first sight. She said, "No one who has ever been drunk will admit that he is drunk, so is the same with the disciples. Besides, in broad daylight, you come here, the picture is just the topic."
The three of them did not expect Chu Xinyu to say their purpose so directly, and they could not find any words to refute it. At this moment, a male voice sounded behind them.
