History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 20

Gradually, intermittent drumming came from the Weihe River, which was the beginning of the dragon boat race. Lin Lang clenched Xu Xiang's hand, her heart was surging.Such a bright and clear girl should be soaring in a wider world. In this life, she must not be allowed to fall into the hands of that beast like Zhu Chengyu!Even the entire Xu family shouldn't be defeated again.

After three rounds of drumming, colorful flags fluttered suddenly on the surface of the river, vaguely embroidered with word flags.This is a game that many aristocrats in the capital like to play. The family pays to form a dragon boat team. This day, they will compete with each other for fun and to earn face.

Lin Lang saw the word "Zhuang" in the center at a glance, and couldn't help saying: "Hey, this year, the Duke of Yan State is dispatched again, I don't know how to get it!"

Xu Xiang next to her knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile, "Your elder sister may not be as anxious as you, is she?" Lin Lang blushed when she heard the words, and smiled.

Yan Guogong's Zhuang family is quite famous in Beijing, because there are three empresses and two noble concubines among them, and they have always managed the family well, and they have never bullied others, which is convincing.He Xuanji has now made a marriage agreement, and he is talking about Zhuang Yuanjin, the third son of the Duke of Yan's mansion.Lin Lang had seen Zhuang Yuanjin before, he was born with a good-looking talent, and he was also a guard in the palace.

The two of them were laughing, when the door behind them slammed, it was He Weijie and Xu Lang who followed.

Lin Lang is still young, and Xu Xiang has a temperament that does not follow the etiquette, so there is no need to shy away from sitting together.

The sound of drums on the river in the distance is loud, and when you look around, you can see several dragon boats rushing out like arrows from the string. Flying across the green fields.Aristocratic families raced dragon boats, not only for rankings, but also for dragon boat competitions. Each one was decorated with colorful carvings, and the colorful flags fluttering were very pleasing to the eye.

The drums became more and more urgent, and the dragon boat flew by nearby. Lin Lang fixed her eyes and saw that the striking "Zhuang" character was ranked second, and the first was the "Wei" character.The Wei family won the first place for several years in a row. Lin Lang knew that the Zhuang family was no match for him, but she still clapped her hands happily.

She lost herself in watching, but she didn't notice a gaze from the side glanced over from time to time.

In the distance, the green hills are undulating, cloud shadows and sky light, and the colorful flags, clear water, and fields are nearby. The ten-year-old girl has beautiful eyes and delicate face. Looking from the side, you can see pink cheeks and tender lips, eyelashes flickering like small fans, and the delicate tip of her nose is exposed in the sun. Sweating a little, smiling like a spring flower blooming now, it is like a poem or a painting, and it is even more heart-warming.

Xu Lang subconsciously groped for the Daoqing painting fan hidden in his waist, and finally held back when he caught a glimpse of He Weijie.

He Weijie didn't know that his sister was already being coveted by others, so he pointed at the Wei family's dragon boat and said, "I won! Remember to bring the lottery tomorrow." The dragon boat races on the water, and they set up a bet outside the game to win. Lottery is also a common thing.

Xu Lang withdrew his gaze calmly and said, "I'll send it over tomorrow."

After hearing this, Linlang next to him shamed He Weijie with his fingers, "Big brother is so big, he actually cheated on Xu Erge's things, so I have the nerve to ask for it!" He Weijie is already 16 this year and works in Taichang Temple. Xu Lang is much older.But because Xu Lang always likes to put on a steady look, He Weijie likes to tease him, and now he just laughs when he hears Linlang's squeeze.

On the contrary, the corner of Xu Lang's mouth twitched.Is Linlang talking about He Weijie or alluding to him?In the blink of an eye, the little girl was also looking at him, with an inexplicable smile in her bright eyes, she raised her head triumphantly, and turned to look at the river.

Xu Lang laughed.

After the dragon boat race, the Shaoling Plain was as lively as ever. Vendors in and outside the city took advantage of this day to open a market, displaying all kinds of interesting juggling gadgets, which can make people linger and forget to return.

Of course Lin Lang also wanted to join in the fun, but after all, she was thinking about Mrs. He's orders, so she didn't dare to go there to mess around.Walking back with the brothers and sisters of the Xu family and He Weijie, just as they reached the corner, someone walked towards him quickly, almost bumping into him.Thanks to Xu Xiang's sharp eyes and quick hands, he pulled Lin Lang to protect him, and looked up, and the person who rushed over was Pei Minglan, the daughter of Pei Yushi's family.

Lin Lang didn't know Pei Minglan very well, so she cast her gaze back, and sure enough, she saw a handsome figure behind her - her good friend Pei Mingxi.Lin Lang looked over with a smile, and Pei Mingxi was also looking at her. The two looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't speak.

Instead, Pei Minglan in front smiled and said, "So it's Miss He Liu, where's your second sister?" Pei Minglan and He Jinyu are good friends, and every time she sees Lin Lang, she always asks like this, and Lin Lang says: "Second sister is not feeling well, and she is at home these days I'm recuperating." Pei Minglan said "Oh", seeming a little lost.

Seeing that she was all right, Linlang wanted to walk around her, but Pei Minglan said again: "I have something important to tell her, I wonder if I can trouble Miss Six to give her a message and ask her to pick a time to talk to her Shall I see you?" She smiled to herself, "I wanted to visit her earlier, but said she wasn't free."

"Miss Pei also knows that the second sister is not free, and it's useless for me to tell you. I'd better wait for her to recover and find you." Linlang looked at Pei Mingxi who was silent and lonely behind her, and she didn't want to talk to Pei Minglan any more, so she smiled I owed my body and left.

When passing by Pei Mingxi, Lin Lang squeezed her hand and said, "I'll see you the day after tomorrow." Pei Mingxi understood and nodded with a smile.

After getting a little further away, Xu Xiang said, "Pei Minglan still likes to bully Mingxi?" Lin Lang pursed her lips and let out a "hmm", obviously very aggrieved.When she turned around to look, Pei Minglan had long since disappeared. Thinking of Pei Minglan's actions in her previous life, Lin Lang sneered in her heart.

To live a new life, what she values ​​most is the health of her mother and father. She hopes that the family will be harmonious and happy, and that she can grow up smoothly.As for the rest of the people, it was not easy to settle the accounts in the previous life, but if she still had bad intentions in this life, she couldn't let them go easily.
