The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 584 Dragon Boat Festival (Eleventh)

A few days ago, Lu Da actually asked him for the farm that grew tomatoes and peppers in the southern suburbs. Without thinking about it, he knew that it was the result of Xiao Xu's teasing in Lu Da's ears. ? !
Although such things annoyed him, they couldn't hurt him in the slightest, but one sentence made Lu Da speechless.

It's fine if little Xu's family is just restless in the mansion, but today it's ashamed to be thrown outside. What Lu Jinkang can't tolerate is that what little Xu said and did today obviously has the intention of targeting Su Yunduo.

Seeing that Su Yunduo was about to marry him, Lu Jinkang was not happy to see Su Yunduo being tricked by Xiao Xu.

Even if he knew that Su Yunduo was not easy to mess with, and knew that Mrs. Xu was not Su Yunduo's opponent at all, Lu Jinkang just didn't want Mrs. Xu to use those little tricks on Su Yunduo that could not be put on the table.

It seems that some things cannot be delayed any longer. It is better to make a decision early.

As long as Su Yunduo can live a comfortable life and not be calculated by others after entering the door, as for others, don't care about him!
After eating the juice, the eldest princess put down the cup contentedly, looked at the girls in the Zhen Guo government and asked, "Which dragon boat do you bet on this year?"

The third girl, Lu Yuhui, and the fourth girl, Lu Yuqi, are the same age. They are only eight years old this year. The government's own dragon boat!"

Su Yunduo raised his eyebrows in surprise.

It is not a surprise that Zhen Guo Gongfu has a dragon boat team to participate in the dragon boat race every year. After all, Zhen Guo Gongfu is famous for its martial arts. It would be puzzling if it did not form a team to participate.

But girls will also bet, even girls who are only eight or nine years old. Is this really good? !
The eldest princess looked at this and then that, and after a while said hesitantly: "This year, neither the eldest cousin nor the second cousin can participate. Can the dragon boat team in your house still win?"

"Of course I can win! Didn't my eldest brother also participate in last year, and our house's dragon boat won the same?!" The second girl, Lu Yumin, said firmly.

"Yes, although the eldest brother and the second brother can't end this year, there are still three brothers and four brothers! Our Zhenguo government will win!" The girls once again cheered for their dragon boat in unison.

"That's fine, I'll place a few bets too!" The eldest princess said, signaling the little eunuch beside her to place bets.

Even the eldest princess is going to bet, isn't it a bit unreasonable not to bet?
Su Yunduo hurriedly said: "Wait, wait, can you still bet now?"

The eldest princess nodded repeatedly, and looked at Su Yunduo in surprise: "Could it be that you haven't made a bet yet, or, let my little servant help you make a few bets by the way?"

This is Su Yunduo's first Dragon Boat Festival in the capital. How did she know that there was still betting on the dragon boat race.

Of course, even if she knew, she might not place a bet, after all, it was considered a gamble.

Su Yunduo considers himself a good-natured young man, although he likes to eat and drink, he keeps a respectful distance from whoring and gambling.

However, since everyone is betting on the dragon boat of the Zhen Guo Gongfu, Su Yunduo, as a member of the upcoming Zhen Guo Gongfu, feels that he should bet with everyone, no matter whether he wins or loses, it is only for support The dragon boat of Zhen Guogong Mansion.

"Didn't the first prince and the second prince both lead the dragon boat team this year? Shouldn't the princess choose a dragon boat from the two princes to bet on, why should she still bet on the dragon boat of our Zhenguo government?" Lu Yuhua, who hadn't spoken for a long time, looked at it with a smile. Said the eldest princess.

The eldest princess curled her lips, looked left and right, saw that no one paid special attention to their words, and then said in a low voice: "Although the dragon boat of the two imperial brothers took a lot of manpower and material resources, the honorable children they found It can be considered that the capital is relatively outstanding, but how can they be compared with the warriors of the Zhen Guogong Mansion?
My elder brother wanted to be opportunistic, but after my father learned about it, he made a special statement at the court meeting, telling everyone to compete fairly and provide a dragon boat victory for the people.

With the statement of the emperor father, you said that there are still people who will give up because the other party is the prince, even if the emperor brother wants to make a small move, he should not dare.

In this case, what are the chances of my two imperial brothers winning?My money is not brought by the strong wind, even if it is not earned by myself, it is still saved by me honestly, and it should be used wisely! "

Su Yunduo couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed, this princess is really too straightforward!
Seeing that the time was approaching the third quarter of the sixth lunar month, if you don't rush to place bets, the deadline will be closed. After the eldest princess finished speaking, she hurriedly urged the little eunuch to place bets.

Su Yunduo quickly took out 50 taels of silver notes from her purse and handed them to Zisu, asking her to follow the little eunuch in the palace to place bets for herself.

The girls, including Lu Yuhua, all stared at Zisu in surprise and left, no, they should be staring at the 50 tael silver ticket!

The girls have long been accustomed to betting on the eldest princess with a hundred taels of silver. After all, she is a royal princess and a princess who has won the favor of the Holy One. Taking out a hundred taels of silver is really nothing.

However, Su Yunduo paid 50 taels, which was really unacceptable to the girls of the Zhen Guogong Mansion whose monthly bills were only [-] taels.

Sure enough, people who have their own property and business are very different from these girls who rely on their parents and elders for food and clothing, and monthly income for pocket expenses, and they can't help but feel envious in their hearts.

At the beginning, Su Yunduo was a little baffled by the girls of the Zhen Guogong's mansion, but after turning his mind, he finally understood, smiled a little embarrassedly, and really couldn't say anything.

If you win today, you have to invite the girls to spend a good game, but what if you lose?

Bah, bah, bah, the government of Zhen Guo must win!

Su Yunduo felt that he was thinking of Amitabha Buddha in his heart, God bless the dragon boat of Zhen Guogong's mansion to be the first!

When the Holy Majesty appeared on the royal viewing platform with a group of empresses, princes and princesses, dozens of dragon boats lined up in Mozi Lake appeared one by one.

"Look quickly, the team with the red belt and the black gym suit with red trim is the dragon boat team of the Duke of Zhenguo. The fourth brother beats the drums, and the third brother steers the helm." Lu Yuhui and Lu Yuqi hopped and pointed to the dragon boat in the distance.

Su Yunduo looked very far, and he saw the dragon boat, and the one sitting on the bulge was not Lu Jinlin, the fourth son of the Zhen Guogong's mansion.

As soon as the three o'clock arrived, the holy majesty personally started the gong for the dragon boat race. After a loud gong, the dragon boats that were originally lined up immediately started a fierce competition.

The warriors of each dragon boat put in all their strength. Accompanied by the rhythm of the dragon head drums, their movements were uniform and the water splashed. It was very spectacular.

The dragon boats that were originally going hand in hand were quickly separated. The dragon boats of the Duke of Zhenguo and the dragon boats led by the eldest prince took the lead and followed each other.

Thirty zhang to the finish line, but at this moment, the drum bell in the hands of the fourth son of Zhen Guogong's mansion suddenly dropped for some reason, and there was a burst of exclamation at the scene, but the fourth son did not panic in the face of danger, and continued with his hands as the clock. The drums were beating, and the rhythm of the drums was not chaotic at all. The warriors on the dragon boat rowed hard to the beat of the drums, and finally crossed the finish line before the dragon boat led by the eldest prince.

The dragon boat team of Zhen Guo Gongfu won the first place again. This year, because neither the eldest son nor the second son can participate in the battle, the odds of Zhen Guo Gong’s mansion are much higher than in previous years, one pays four, so Su Yunduo bet 50 taels , It became 200 taels in a blink of an eye.

Although everyone had money to win, Su Yunduo still took out half of the money to ask the girls to spend as he had thought in advance.

Seeing this, the eldest princess was naturally not stingy, and took out part of the money she won from betting to make fun of it, which made the girls very happy.
