Chapter 203.

Shen Ruoxi: "I heard the voice."

After walking for a quarter of an hour, a long and wide river appeared in front of my eyes. There were people standing on both sides of the river bank, and there were also many vendors at small stalls. There were so many people at the moment, and I was sure that I could make a small profit by shopping here.

There is a wooden bridge in the middle of the river, and ten long dragon boats are docked in front of the wooden bridge. The head and tail of the dragon boats are the same dragon head. At this time, those people are decorating the dragon boats.

"The county magistrate will personally host the dragon boat race in a while."

"The county magistrate is coming again? Then this year's dragon boat race must be good."

"The dragon boat that wins the top spot will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver. These people have come here to practice a long time ago."

Everyone talked a lot, and there was a lot of noise on both sides of the river.

Shen Ruoxi stood on a long rock behind the crowd, not to squeeze with them, there were too many people, and she might fall into the river if crowded.

Zhong Zhouyi went to buy some snacks and came over: "Ruoxi, here you go."

Shen Ruoxi had just eaten, and her stomach was very full, but she still took the snacks in her hand, and ate one: "These snacks are quite delicious."

Zhong Zhouyi's eyes were very gentle: "Eat slowly, and I'll buy it for you after you finish eating."

Shen Ruoxi was a little afraid to look at Zhong Zhouyi, like a gentle trap, it was easy to fall into it and not get out.

A voice came from the side: "Miss Ruoxi, have you come to watch the dragon boat race?"

Shen Ruoxi looked, and it was the county magistrate's son Mu Wenyao who greeted her: "Master Mu, are you guys coming to play too?"

Together with Mu Wenyao and several of his classmates, they all bowed their hands to Shen Ruoxi.

Mu Wenyao is personable and gentle, and his conversation is very gentle: "It's rare to have such a lively gathering in the county, come and join in the fun."

Shen Ruoxi smiled: "There are so many people, it may be difficult for Young Master Mu and a few of your friends to find a seat."

Mu Wenyao glanced around: "It doesn't matter, just participate."

Shen Ruoxi smiled and said, "Then please go ahead."

Mu Wenyao and others merged into the crowd.

Shen Wanni, who came over from behind, had a panoramic view of the scene just now, her eyes were full of jealousy, she had never talked to Mu Wenyao like this, why should Shen Ruoxi?
She wanted Shen Ruoxi to come over, and said in a bad tone, "Shen Ruoxi, you are engaged now, so don't flirt with each other."

Zhong Zhouyi didn't like to hear these words anymore, so he stood by the side, and Ruoxi greeted them normally, why did he flirt with each other: "Shen Wanni, is it inappropriate for you to say that?"

Listening to Zhong Zhouyi's words, Shen Wanni noticed Zhong Zhouyi: "I just want to remind you, you don't have to be so excited, keep an eye on Shen Ruoxi, otherwise you won't have time to regret it."

After speaking, Shen Wanni left.

Shen Ruoxi was speechless: "Don't talk to her, Shen Wanni probably has some serious illness."

Zhong Zhouyi frowned: "She is your cousin, why do you say that about you?"

Shen Ruoxi said vaguely: "I won't deal with her, okay, let's not talk about her, if I talk about her, I will feel bad."

Zhong Zhouyi nodded: "Let's go over there."

"Yes." Shen Ruoxi walked in the opposite direction to Shen Wanni.

On the other side, Shen Wanni walked towards Mu Wenyao. She was so eager to get in touch with Mu Wenyao. In the last life, she and Mu Wenyao had a relatively close relationship at this time, but now they didn't even talk much. In other words, if you don't seize the opportunity, it may be difficult to have the opportunity in the future.

So Shen Wanni deliberately passed by Mu Wenyao, then pretended to fall, and bumped her body into Mu Wenyao's arms.

Mu Wenyao hugged her reflexively, and the others suddenly showed ambiguous eyes.

Shen Wanni was quite satisfied with her fall, and quickly thanked her after standing still: "Thank you, young master, for saving me, otherwise I'm afraid I'm going to get hurt."

Mu Wenyao was polite: "It's fine, no need to thank you." After speaking, he walked aside.

Shen Wanni was not reconciled to the fact that the chance encounter she had created with great difficulty disappeared like this, so she hurried to catch up: "Master, without you, I'm afraid I'd make a fool of myself, why don't we go together?"

"There is no difference between men and women." Mu Wenyao refused quite clearly.

No matter how thick-skinned Shen Wanni was, she had no choice but to stand still and watch them go: why still couldn't attract his attention.

After walking away, Zeng Ming couldn't help but said, "That girl seemed to be interested in you just now?"

Mu Wenyao glanced at Zeng Ming, his eyes darkened: "I don't like people who throw themselves into my arms."

Zeng Ming: "..."

A high-pitched voice resounded in the crowd: "Bet the bet, watch the boat race, buy one for four, buy one for four..."

Zhong Zhouyi asked Shen Ruoxi, "Do you want to choose one to bet on?"

Shen Ruoxi thought for a while: "Alright, which dragon boat do you bet on?"

Zhong Zhouyi raised his head and looked at those dragon boats. They all looked similar, and there was really no clue. He thought for a while: "Is the third one?"

Shen Ruoxi thought for a while: "I bet the tenth."

Zhong Zhouyi asked, "Is there any basis?"

Shen Ruoxi waved her hand: "I just support the last one, I hope it will be more successful."

After hearing Shen Ruoxi's words, Zhong Zhouyi changed his mind: "Then I'll bet on number one, and let it become the number one that deserves its name."

So the two bet a penny on the selected dragon boat.

In addition to them, there are many people who bet, and they are quite supportive of this matter.

Soon after placing bets, the dragon boat race began.

Ten dragon boats are lined up, and there are sixteen people in each dragon boat. There is a drum in the middle of the dragon boat. When the dragon boat races, one person stands here and beats the drum to boost morale.

When everything was ready, the master handed over the gong: "My lord, come and start."

The county magistrate said loudly: "Everyone, get ready, the dragon boat race has officially started!" After finishing speaking, he thumped the gong.

The ten dragon boats rushed out like off-string arrows, and the oars of the rowing boats kept moving like dragon legs, so fast that almost afterimages appeared.

As we rowed and rowed, the order appeared. Four boats in the middle fell behind, and the remaining six boats remained parallel.

After a while, another boat lagged behind, and the remaining five dragon boats advanced side by side.

"Come on! Come on!"

One by one dragon boats began to settle down, and finally the No. [-] dragon boat and the No. [-] dragon boat were left going hand in hand.

Zhong Zhouyi looked at the two dragon boats: "Ruoxi, do you think you won or I won?"

Shen Ruoxi said calmly: "It doesn't matter which of us wins, we both made money today."

Zhong Zhouyi smiled and nodded: "Yes."

In the eyes of everyone, the No. [-] dragon boat surpassed the No. [-] dragon boat and became the temporary leader.

The drawn dragon boat had to be rowed back again.

The tenth dragon boat was the first to reach the limit position, and then the people on the dragon boat immediately turned their seats and turned back immediately.

Without any suspense, the tenth dragon boat came out on top.
