Chapter 1278 Dragon Boat Race
Every year, the dragon boat race is held on the section of the river next to Gushui Village. The section of the river is wide, straight, and very gentle, and there is a large flat sandy area next to it for people to watch.

As early as three days ago, the government had stepped in to build a high platform and colorful shed at the best location on the river beach, and made various preparations so that the dignitaries and dignitaries could watch here.

The common people don't pay so much attention to it, and stop by the banks of the river, as long as there is a place to stand.

In the early morning of this day, Lian Fangzhou and Li Fu, together with the members of the Sansi yamen and the heads of the Liang family, the Lezheng family and other major families, drove out of the city in a row of carriages, horses and sedan chairs, and went straight to the river beach of Gushui Village.

Opening the curtain of the car, you can see a large crowd of people's heads on the river beach from a long distance, and the sound of noisy laughter can be heard faintly, sometimes mixed with the sharp and high-pitched shouts of vendors.

The sun was shining warmly, and the river water was a little turbid due to the long rain and early sunshine, but it was more suitable for a fierce competition than the clear water.

When they arrived at the place, the men surrounded the three magistrates and walked to the main stand. Mrs. Lezheng and others smiled and invited Lian Fangzhou, Hu Dahai, and Xu Cunren's wives to sit in the women's stand. up.

Lian Fangzhou took Xu'er's hand and walked over together, followed by Yingchun, Panxia, ​​Xueliu, Xueqing, nurses and maidservants, there were dozens of people.

Everyone sat down and talked and laughed politely, the gongs and drums in the room were loud and loud, and they all stopped talking and looked over there.

Lian Fangzhou saw Xu'er's eyes staring straight at the pier by the river, she was helpless because she was short and far away, so she couldn't see it clearly, so she leaned over to support Xu'er's shoulder and laughed softly Said: "Xu'er, do you want to look over there?"

Xu'er's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly with a "huh".

"You have to be careful, there are too many people over there, don't let people squeeze you into the river!" Lian Fangzhou laughed.

Xu'er hurriedly said: "Mom, I won't do it!"

Lian Fangzhou smiled, and ordered the nanny, Yingchun, Panxia, ​​Xueliu, and Xueqing to accompany Xu'er, "Today is crowded with people, you must follow the young master in a good manner, and leave without taking a step away! "

With the care of the nanny and the cleverness and martial arts of Yingchun and Panxia, ​​they are more than enough to protect Xu'er.

Yingchun waited to agree, but couldn't help but said in a low voice: "Madam, all the slaves have gone, isn't there no one around Madam?"

Lian Fangzhou laughed and said, "What are you talking about! I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere, I don't need you guys! Besides, don't they still have Hongyu and Maixiang!"

Yingchun waited for a smile, thinking about today's grand and lively festival, with so many nobles present, expecting nothing would happen, so she resigned and went with Xu'er.

Before the official dragon boat race, there is a ceremony to worship the god of the river. Accompanied by the high-pitched singing of the priests, flowers and wine are poured into the river one after another. , full of vigor and masculine beauty.Everyone was fascinated by hearing and seeing for a moment.

Lian Fangzhou had never seen such an authentic ancient ritual of worshiping gods, and was more shocked than others.

Once the sacrifice is over, there will be a trick show for all 24 dragon boat teams.

Accompanied by the intense sound of gongs and drums, the chants of various fleets, and the applause and laughter of the people along the river, the entire river section fell into a carnival with a warm atmosphere.

When the competition officially started, each time the six teams competed, with the bright red command flag waving, the six dragon boats rushed to row on the water like arrows off the string, "Come on! Come on!" The orderly voices are tense and enthusiastic, ringing and suppressing the clouds!

All the female relatives left their seats one after another at some point, and crowded on the side of the railing facing the river, watching and applauding excitedly.

The maids and women like to watch the fun more than the masters. At this time, no one will restrain their own servants. The maids and women also found the gaps and crowded together to laugh and watch, chattering and arguing. The best team, who rowed the best, which dragon boat is the most beautiful, etc.

Lian Fangzhou was talking and laughing with a group of girlfriends, but suddenly felt a little anxious, thinking that he drank too much tea just now, so he turned around and left for convenience when everyone was not paying attention.

As soon as he looked up, he saw that Hongyu, Maixiang, etc. were watching with great interest, so he simply didn't call them, and got off the viewing platform by himself.

The place for urination is not far away in a temporary shed, just a few steps away.

Unexpectedly, just as Lian Fangzhou was about to come out, suddenly someone hugged her neck from behind, her mouth and nose were tightly covered with a wet veil.

She never dreamed that in such a lively scene, among the crowds of these few households, there would be someone who had the guts to attack her.
Consciousness sank suddenly, and he fell into a dark abyss in an instant. Lian Fangzhou smiled bitterly to himself: She was careless again!I hope, it's just for her alone...

At this time, the outside is still noisy, with drums, cheers and cheers. Everyone's attention is attracted by the fierce competition on the river, and no one notices at all. In the wooden house, an ordinary-looking wooden box was carried out and loaded into a carriage.

The coachman raised his whip, trampled the horse's hooves, and made the rumble of the car, getting farther and farther away from the bustle, and soon disappeared...

When Lian Fangzhou woke up, he was in a simple room.

Through the gaps in the window, sunlight shone in. Judging from the brightness and angle of the sunlight, if it hadn't been a day, it would have been less than half an hour before she was kidnapped!
From her point of view, the latter should be more likely.

After she struggled, she realized that her body was tightly bound into rice dumplings by the hemp rope, and her mouth was also stuffed with a cloth ball.

That's right, I don't know who got it with great difficulty, how could it be possible to let my hands, feet and mouth be free?Lian Fangzhou smiled wryly in her heart.

"Are you awake? Look, hee hee, let's meet again!" A charming voice sounded, and a cold snort full of hatred.

Lian Fangzhou tried her best to raise her head to see the faces of the two women in front of her. The problem she was thinking about why she woke up so soon was solved, and she suddenly understood: it was them!If they don't show off their prestige in front of themselves, how can they be reconciled?

That proud woman with a coquettish smile is Zhu Yuying!And the other one with a slanted long scar on the left side of his face is naturally Deng Menghan!
