Dragon Boat Festival, dragon boat racing on Qiantang River.

The Dragon Boat Race is held in Hangzhou City every year, and it is not less than the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. Xie Lanyin is particularly glad that their mothers came back in time. She took a break early last night and got up after a good night's sleep. She was refreshed.

After changing into men's clothes, Xie Lanyin went to the main courtyard to pay tribute to her mother.

Last night, the couple had a better time than the newlyweds. Jiang had just gotten up. His face was rosy like a newly opened peony, and his eyes and eyebrows were full of romantic expressions. Xie Hui went to the front yard. Jiang was absent-mindedly listening to his wife's wife's report on the trivial matters at home during this period. Her mind was full of tenderness from her husband in the bed.

The cold man changed his appearance completely after blowing the light.

"What rouge did you use today? She looks so good, she seems to be a few years younger." Xie Lanyin stood at the door for a while, and saw her mother staring at the tea with a sweet and gentle expression. Obviously, she was not affected by Xie Yao's affairs, so she followed her happily and walked over with a smile.

Jiang immediately came back to his senses, ignored her witty words, and glanced around her daughter-in-law, and sent her three wives to the housekeeper down before she deliberately asked her daughter strangely: "Why are you dressing like this again? Didn't you say you would never go out to play again?"

Xie Lanyin did think that way when she was carried by the thief, but after she healed, she forgot to hurt her. At most, she would not go to the wilderness, but she did not plan to be a good girl who would never go out of the door for the rest of her life. At this time, her mother laughed at her, and Xie Lanyin skillfully made excuses for herself, "I just said that she would not go out alone with her third cousin, but she didn't say that she would never go out. Today, she had her father and sister accompany me. I, I don't believe that I would accidentally twist my feet."

There was a maid in the main hall, so she changed her mouth in time.

Xie Lanting happened to walk in. He frowned and asked the maids to go down. She whispered to her mother: "When my mother came back, did my uncle find any clues?" Yesterday, the second sister told her about her younger sister.

Jiang shook his head and passed by perfunctorily.

In fact, my brother was a little suspicious that it was Fang Ze's devil, because there were very few Qing Gangs in Xi'an who dared to offend the Jiang family, unless the buyers were bigger than the Jiang family. At that time, the Jiang family was stunned by Xie Yao's bad intentions, and Fang Ze had once watched his daughter again.

But my brother was just guessing that even if it was done by Fang Ze, if he wanted to take revenge, he had to make a long-term plan and let the daughters know it would be useless, and it would only cause trouble.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about that. Be careful when you go out today and don't fall into the river." Jiang quickly changed the subject and looked at his little daughter meaningfully.

Xie Lanyin pretended not to hear it and turned her head to talk to the elder sister.

After a while, Xie Lanqiao also arrived. The four of them talked for a while and went to pay tribute to Chen.

The three sisters' men's clothing is just like three sons.

Xie Yao cried once yesterday, and today it was like nothing happened. She didn't move when her eldest sister-in-law came in. She sat next to Chen, looked at her three nieces, and kindly advised Jiang, "Sister-in-law, Lanting and the others are not young anymore. Why do you still indulge them so much? Look at this dress, men are not men and women, who has liked them after seeing them?"

Jiang replied helplessly: "No, but they are all very stubborn. I can't even care, so let them go." After saying that, he smiled and told Fang Ling, "A Ling must not learn from her cousins. The girl's family looks good in dresses."

Fang Ling nodded and looked at her mother.

Xie Yao hit a soft nail and said with the flow: "Yes, Ah Ling should play with your third cousin more. The third cousin is gentle and generous. This is what our Xie girl should look like."

After being praised, Xie Lanwei quietly straightened her back and looked at Fang Ling with a smile.

Fang Ling laughed when she thought that her third cousin gave her a lot of good things yesterday and did not look at her three cousins ​​at her uncle's house.

Xie Lanyin did not pay attention to the other side, but only talked to her sisters. When Xie Ding and others came, the whole family would have breakfast together.

Xie Ding is a martial artist. He does not pay much attention to the rules and does not interfere with the upbringing of his daughters and granddaughters. He leaves them to his wife and daughters-in-law to take care of them. They are all close relatives. As long as they do not make big mistakes, he will be very interested in whatever he teaches them. Therefore, he didn't say anything when he saw his three nieces wearing men's clothes. After dinner, he took the children to the riverside to watch the dragon boat race.

The Xie family rented a grand pleasure boat and led side by side with the Liu family, the magistrate of Hangzhou.

Xie Xun's wife, the second wife, is the daughter of the Liu family. When she saw Xie Xun's talent, she looked quite knowledgeable, so she happily married. As a result, the three masters of the Xie family, the eldest brother, are outstanding in kung fu and are currently the garrison of Hangzhou, and should be able to take over Xie Ding's position in the future. The third brother went to the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing to be an official, and her future is good, but Xie Xun is not good. The second wife was not happy. As soon as she saw her mother's family, she took her daughter Xie Lanwei to visit there.

She didn't dare to take over her two sons, for fear of making her father-in-law dislike her.

The second daughter-in-law left, Xie Ding looked at the second son next to him and sighed silently. The son was not good at doing well, and he really felt wronged that the magistrate’s daughter had.

"General, Mr. Xue asked for a meeting." Deputy General Liu, beside Xie Ding, made a loud report below.

Xie Ding smiled and looked at his eldest son Xie Hui, "Shouldn't he be preparing for the race on the dragon boat now? Why are he running here?"

Xue Jiu was a deputy under Xie Huiying, and was ranked sixth in office, and was also Xie Hui's most valued confidant.

Xie Huidao didn't know, his eyes flashed over the eldest daughter.

Xie Lanyin also raised her lips and looked at the elder sister. Xue Jiu was generous and careless to everyone. He even dared to talk back to his father's words, but as long as the elder sister spoke, Xue Jiu was more obedient than his grandson. Xie Lanyin felt that Xue Jiu must like the elder sister, as for the elder sister...

Thinking of every time she mentioned the indifferent expression of Sister Xue Jiushi, Xie Lanyin would worry for Xue Jiu.

If Xue Jiu could be her brother-in-law, she would be really happy.

Just as he was thinking, the rhythmic footsteps came over. In a blink of an eye, Xue Jiu, dressed in black oarsmen, walked up. The man in his 24th and 5th was tall and strong, with a slightly dark skin, and handsome facial features, especially his pair of black eyes that looked like paint, which was full of brilliance. There were so many people in the pleasure boat, and he looked at the Xie sisters first after saluting Xie Ding and Xie Hui, and laughed: "Miss Two and the Five Misses are back? Is the journey going smoothly?"

He spoke to two little ones on his mouth, but his eyes were staring at Xie Lanting.

Xie Lanting frowned.

Xue Jiu immediately opened his eyes and looked at Xie Lanyin.

Xie Lanyin chuckled and asked him directly, "Brother Xue is not staying on the dragon boat, what are you doing here?"

Xue Jiu smiled and said to Xie Ding Xie Hui: "General Bing, this time, each team stipulates that eleven people must participate in the dragon boat race, but one of my subordinates had a stomachache last night and could not play today. I carefully selected them all, and there was no suitable candidate to make up for it. I dared to come over and ask the young lady, I wonder if she was interested in having fun with the people."

Xie Ding stroked his beard and looked at his eldest son.

Xie Hui was actually very satisfied with Xue Jiu, and he looked at it. The eldest daughter should not be disgusted with Xue Jiu. But she is different from an ordinary girl. She is not able to express herself, she is neither gentle nor gentle, and she takes the initiative to give Xue Jiu sachets or something. She doesn't act squeaked when Xue Jiu comes up, and the two get along more like comrades when they get along.

"What did Lanting say?" Xie Hui listened to his daughter.

"You go find someone else, I'm not good at rowing." Xie Lanting refused expressionlessly.

Xue Jiu immediately said, "I'm here to row, how about cheering for us with a young lady?"

His eyes were hot and Xie Lanting hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Xue Jiu rubbed his hands happily and shouted at a boat of people, "A young lady cheers us, our top score must be ours today. Please bet we will win!" As he said, he followed Xie Lanting excitedly down the stairs.

Xie Lanyin leaned against the railing and watched them watch, watching Xue Jiu always tilted his head and talk to his elder sister, and couldn't help but laugh.

If such a person has been guarding his elder sister, how could the elder sister be worried about marrying?

A moment later, gongs and drums were made, and dozens of dragon boats were advancing together. Xie Lanyin looked away and saw a black-clothed person on the leading dragon boat.

It was indeed Xue Jiu's dragon boat that won.

When Xie Lanting came back, he handed the lottery to his little sister.

The leader has a bounty, and each of the oarsmen has allocated some points. Xie Lanting got the most, a 10 tael of gold ingot and the only jade carved dragon boat.

Xie Lanyin received the gold ingots and returned the jade carved dragon boat to the elder sister, "Sister, please keep it as a souvenir. I won the leader in the first competition. How meaningful."

Xie Lanting didn't like these golden and jade things, so the little sister didn't want them, so she handed them to the second sister.

Xie Lan wanted to refuse, but saw Fang Ling looking at the jade dragon boat over there, and then took it with a smile. After returning home, she put it in the elder sister's house. It was not her stingy, but this dragon boat was actually Xue Jiu's gift to the elder sister. The elder sister didn't understand the heart of a man. They had to consider it for her as sister, so that they would not be together in the future. Xue Jiu wanted to see that the elder sister gave her away, which hurt Xue Jiu's heart.

Xie Lanyin smiled and praised her for being smart. Both sisters decided that her brother-in-law was Xue Jiu.

Xie Lanting looked helpless. How could the two silly sisters understand the feelings of their comrades in the military camp?

As night fell, the three sisters returned to their yards after the cooldown.

In the middle of the night, Xie Lanyin suddenly woke up and heard that there was indeed noisy outside. Not only did the mansion do this, but the entire Hangzhou city seemed to be in turmoil. He was anxious to call Parrot, "Go and see what's going on!"

She also quickly ran to the closet, and no longer thought about which pair of wool to match which skirt to look good, so she put it on her body randomly.

Parrot went there and hadn't come back for a long time, or Xie Lanyin was impatient when she waited anxiously and took Sangzhi to her mother's side. When she arrived at the main courtyard, she saw her father's elder sister dressed in military uniform. Her mother was anxiously saying something, as if she was reminding her.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Xie Lanyin was panicked. She was proud of her father's elder sister's ability, but she didn't want them to really fight and kill and be in danger.

"We must leave when the Japanese pirates attack at night. Lan Yin is obedient and stay with your mother. Don't go anywhere." Xie Hui touched his little daughter's head, looked at his wife for the last time, turned around and left.

Xie Lanting hugged his sister, then he spread her little hand that was holding her arm tightly without any nostalgia and strode to chase her father.

The lights were bright, but they could not see through all the darkness. The figures of the father and daughter were swallowed up by the night in a blink of an eye.

Xie Lanyin stood beside her mother, her eyes suddenly felt sore.
