Chapter 70 Dragon Boat Festival

Updated: 2010-07-05

A few dishes of exquisite side dishes and a pot of clear tea are what Ms. Yu used to entertain Fusu.People are in the garden, and the flowers bloom extremely lushly in early summer, which makes people feel like the flowers are blooming before the moon is under.It's a pity that Fusu didn't dare to show it, because the person opposite him was a "man".

"Master Yu, do you know why the Chu land is still holding a dragon boat race for this Dragon Boat Festival when it is so chaotic?" Fu Su asked, taking a sip of the tea in his cup.

Miss Yu smiled and said: "Of course, this custom in Chudi has been going on for hundreds of years, how could it be stopped suddenly? Could it be that uncle entrusted you with the task of managing the dragon boat race?" A flush of excitement appeared on her face.

Fu Su smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, the prefect entrusted this important task to me, a person who doesn't understand the rules of dragon boats at all, and it has already made me dizzy."

"Then you are here today to ask me about the dragon boat race?"

"In addition to this, I would like to ask the young master to borrow someone?"

"You mean Old Chen?" As soon as she heard Fusu's words, she immediately thought of that good boatman.

"Yes, my lord not only wants to make this competition a success, but also wants to win the first place." Fusu's wry smile became a sign.

"It's not impossible, but if I lend you Lao Chen, what can you give me in return?" Miss Yu suddenly became a shrewd businessman, squinting her eyes and looking Fusu up and down, as if evaluating him .

"I..." Fusu suddenly got stuck, and now there is no chocolate to make girls happy, even if they want to send flowers, the other party may not accept it, Fusu can't wait to say that he will make a promise with his body, of course So he will be kicked out by this Miss Yu.

Seeing the distress on Fusu's face, she smiled and said: "How about this, you let me and Qing Ming also participate in this dragon boat race, and I will hand over Old Chen to you." After speaking, she giggled triumphantly.

"Ah?" Fusu was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly she would make such a request, "Your uncle, will the prefect agree?"

"Well, he doesn't know, and I also want to try the taste of dragon boat racing. If you don't agree, I can only refuse you." Miss Yu's face suddenly became serious.

Fusu thought for a while with a bitter face before saying: "Okay, then I will accept you." I don't know whether he is afraid that she will not borrow Lao Chen or that she will be unhappy.

"Okay, then it's a deal." Miss Yu suddenly became happy.

After solving this problem, Fusu asked curiously: "Young Master said just now that the Dragon Boat Race has a history of hundreds of years, but is it because of commemorating Qu Yuan who jumped into the river and died for his country?"

"How did you associate this dragon boat race with Doctor Sanlv?" Miss Yu asked a little strangely.

"Isn't it? I guessed randomly." Fusu naturally wouldn't tell her because most people in his later generations would say the same, "Because I know he is a loyal and patriotic person, and it doesn't make sense for everyone to commemorate him." .”

"Doctor Sanlu is indeed a loyal minister, but he is only loyal to the king of Chu. What good does it do to the people of Chu? He is actually most loyal to their own Qu family. The people of Chu will never know that there is such a person as Chu." country and jumped into the river." Miss Yu said, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and continued, "And this dragon boat race was already very popular in our country of Chu when Qu Yuan was alive, and then spread to the country of Lu. Waiting for the country, how can other countries commemorate him because there is a patriotic person in our Chu country? You must know that Doctor Sanlu is only a minister of Chu, and his loyalty to Chu country means that he is the enemy of other countries."

Hearing her words, Fusu's conclusions that had been in his heart for decades collapsed. He never thought that he would be deceived for decades. He always believed that the Dragon Boat Festival was to commemorate Qu Yuan. History really can fool people.Immediately, he felt a little complacent, if he hadn't traveled through this time, he might still be fooled by history like modern people without knowing it, thinking that the Dragon Boat Festival and Qu Yuan had an inexplicable relationship.He drank the tea in the cup, got up and said: "Since the young master has agreed to borrow Chen Laoyi, then I will wait for the good news quietly, and I will take my leave first."

Miss Yu got up and said, "Don't forget to promise me."

In the next few days, Fusu temporarily became the host of the Dragon Boat Festival, and began to get busy preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival, especially the dragon boat race. A powerful fleet, and at the same time, Lao Chen was also invited to come to help, but he was doing it in full swing.During this period, Miss Yu and Qing Ming also came to participate a few times, but they are women after all, and their physical strength is far inferior to these real men, so they are just doing what they want. Fusu also hopes that they can retreat and give up. the idea.

Before he knew it, it was already the fourth day of the lunar new year. Yu Fulong went to find Fusu one day. After meeting him, Yu Fulong said in a difficult way: "At first, I thought that this Dragon Boat Race for the Dragon Boat Festival was just a big event in my Jiujiang County. Unexpectedly, people from Chu Both Fang and Pei Gong have sent ships to participate, it seems that this time your responsibility will be heavy."

"What? Then how does our dragon boat compare with the boats of the Chu State Navy? Why did Liu Bang also join in?"

"I don't know about this official, you just need to do your best. Hey, the Dragon Boat Festival in Jiujiang has never been so lively."

Fusu could only accept this task with a wry smile, but at the same time he also let go of one thing, that is, the two of them will not participate in this dragon boat race.

While Fusu was making the final arrangements, Peng Hong had already found the vicinity of Jiujiang County. He searched all the way along the waterway, but he didn't find Fusu's body, which made him more and more confident that Fusu was alive. Hearing that there is a dragon boat race in Jiujiang County, I decided to go there to inquire about the news. After all, since there is such a big event there, there must be many people, so the news is naturally easy to inquire about.

At this time, in Xiang Liang's team, Liu Bang was discussing coldly with Xiao He and others: "This is an excellent opportunity. As long as Xiang Liang can be killed in this dragon boat race, then his Xiang family army will definitely kill Xiang Liang." The morale of the army is in turmoil, and then we will have a chance to replace them as the true masters of Chu."

"Pei Gong, isn't it too risky for you to do this? After all, we don't have many people, and that Xiang Yu is not someone who can be easily dismissed. If he is not careful, he will end up in a dismal end." Xiao He said without hesitation.

"Since ancient times, wealth and wealth have been sought in danger. When we first started the uprising, we were almost unsure, and we succeeded. This time, if we just fight this time, the soldiers and civilians of the entire Chu land may be rewarded. Why can't we give it a try? "Liu Bang said with deep hatred in his eyes.That's why Liu Bang didn't have much ability, but he was able to get help from Xiao He and others. He was quite protective of his brother.Since Fan Kuai died in their hands, Liu Bang must avenge this revenge.

The Dragon Boat Festival finally arrived.

Waking up early in the morning, Fusu saw that there was a festive atmosphere everywhere, every door was tied with wormwood, children's wrists were tied with five-color thread, and there was a smell of realgar in the air.No matter what, you can’t see such a strong festive atmosphere in modern cities. When Fusu saw all this, he felt that his hard work was not in vain. Grand festival.

After having dinner with a group of colleagues, Fusu and others rushed to the riverside, waiting for the highlight of the Dragon Boat Festival - the dragon boat race.In the past Dragon Boat Festival, although the dragon boat race was also held, the scale was very small. However, the last time a few small boat races were held, the winners were only rewarded by the prefect, but this time it was completely different.In addition to a few local dragon boats, there was also a dragon boat team from Xiang's family and a dragon boat team from Liu Bang, and the king of Chu was also present. It has been rumored that the winner of this dragon boat race will be rewarded by the king of Chu. If civilians and civil servants can get a title, if they are generals, they can be conferred the position of general of the Chu State. All of a sudden, dragon boat racers from all over the world will come to participate, and the scale will be unprecedented.

So when Fusu came to the riverside, what he saw was the scene of crowds surging. Regardless of whether he participated in the competition or not, people rushed to the riverside to wait to see the appearance of the first general after the re-establishment of Chu State. "Young Master Zhou, you are a bit late." It was Miss Yu who called Fu Su.

Fu Su hurriedly walked over and said, "Young Master Yu agreed to your request last time, I'm afraid today is the way to honor it."

"I know, this time is a major event for the state of Chu, I don't want to embarrass you, forget it, just treat it as you owe me a favor." Miss Yu said indifferently.

"But you have to remember to return my son." Qing Ming joked on the side.

When Fusu was about to agree, a voice called him came from the side: "Zhou Changshi, my general has an invitation." Fusu knew him, and he was one of Xiang Liang's personal guards.He hurriedly bid farewell to the two girls and came to an open space on Xiang Liang's side.A tall shelf has been set up here to facilitate Xiang Liang and others to watch the game.Seeing Fusu coming, Xiang Liang hurriedly called him into the air, and said, "My lord, who will be the real winner this time?"

Standing here and looking down, Fusu felt that the river was unusually calm, and he said with great relief: "This competition was facilitated by General Xiang, so the winner this time must also be General Xiang." .”

"How can you say that I contributed to it? You must know that this proposal was made by the King of Chu."

"Even if it was conceived by the King of Chu, how could it become a reality without the approval of the general? I will just wait and see that the general becomes the top general of the Great Chu." As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from the river bank." With the beating of drums, the crowd began to cheer, and the boat began to enter the water.
