Chapter 65 It’s Dragon Boat Festival again

On the fifth day of the fifth month, it is the annual Dragon Boat Festival event again. The festive atmosphere in Jiankang City is rich, and the sound of firecrackers starts to crack in the morning.

Han Mu felt very depressed when he woke up early in the morning. Because of this special day, he remembered the scene of the dragon boat racing in Wuxing last year. Times have changed, and in just one year, he has experienced so many ups and downs in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Some of the people around him have left forever, while others are far away from the world, but he has fallen into the whirlpool of history and cannot extricate himself.

It has been nearly half a month since Yuan Gang went to Kuaiji to pick up people, so he should be back. This place should be more than a thousand miles away from Kuaiji. When Yuan Gang went there, he took dozens of flying tiger team members to speed up. It would probably take half the time to come back, because the girls can only ride cars and not ride horses, and it would take time to slowly flow along the way.

Su Hongling saw the depression in Han Mu and tried her best to please him. She got up early and cooked mugwort water to serve Han Mu for bathing. She also made a lot of rice dumplings with two girls borrowed from the Xie Mansion. She wanted to give Han Mu's feeling the same.

Han Mu knew Su Hongling’s thoughts and felt more pity for her; in fact, Su Hongling was the most pitiful, at least she had her mother, her adoptive father and a few women who loved her, and she was alone in this world, and she had no relatives except herself.

Han Mu secretly scolded himself for being selfish, and was calming his emotions at the moment, showing his smile, and celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival with everyone.

After breakfast, Han Mu received a letter from the servants of Xie’s mansion, saying that Miss Yun was going to come to Xie’s mansion to watch the dragon boat race. Han Mu said in confusion: “Where can I see the dragon boat? If you want to see it, you can go to the edge of the Huai River.”

Su Hongling chuckled and said, "I see you are so busy that our family is just by the Huai River? We also occupy a large area of ​​Huai River."

Han Mu suddenly realized that he was really busy and stupid. He was still planning to make good use of the water surface and change it to a swimming pool. Recently, he has been thinking about how to deal with the enemy, and even lost his basic interest in life. He needs to change it! Han Mu sighed inwardly, life and work must be balanced.

Before the breakfast was finished, the Xie family's convoy arrived. After getting off the sedan chair, Xie Daoyun walked over in a goose yellow gauze dress like a fairy. Han Mu's eyes were straightened. Su Hongling snorted lightly, and he just smiled and went up to him.

However, Xie Daoyun didn't look at him, and walked towards Su Hongling and said with a smile: "Is this the Su family's sister? I have heard of Daming for a long time. He is such a wonderful woman with all talent in civil and military talent. She cried that night."

Su Hongling also smiled and said, "Sister Daoyun is the best. My sister is really a fairy-like figure. It seems that all the spiritual energy in the world is concentrated on my sister, the number one talented woman in the Jin Dynasty."

The two of them were smiling, as if they hadn't seen each other again for many years, leaving Han Mu behind, which was extremely embarrassing.

Several Flying Tigers following behind covered their mouths and were so small. Han Mu rolled his eyes and said, "I haven't gone to prepare my seat yet, laugh, laugh. Are you selling laughter?"

Several people stuck out their tongues and hurriedly sent them to carry the bench and were very busy.

There is a platform on the second floor of the water pavilion. When Han Mu bought this house, he repaired the platform flat with bluestone, polished it to the point of shinyness, and built fences around it to hinge it with chains. His wishful thinking was to hold a sun umbrella in the future and lie under the umbrella barefoot to sunbathe. Unexpectedly, it came in handy today.

The two women walked upstairs together, sat down at Han Mu's sunbathing, chatting. The staff of Xie's family who were accompanying him all stood in the distance.

Han Mushi suddenly got on the platform and moved a chair to sit down next to the two women.

The maid who accompanied the Xie family put dried pastries, fruits and rice dumplings on the table in front of him, and then made them with fragrant tea. Han Mu sighed in his heart that he had not enjoyed such a life for a long time. The talented woman brought such a lot of food, drink and food when she went out, which seemed not easy to raise.

Seeing the two girls talking on their own, they no longer had fun. They picked up a rice dumpling and took a bite. The fragrance was sour and sweet inside.

Han Mu almost swallowed his tongue, which was several times better than the rice dumplings made by the hero Su Hongling. Are the rice dumplings from Xie's family so delicious?

There are crowds of people on both sides of the Huai River. Jiankang City has a population of millions, and only a small half of them come out to see the dragon boats. The river is probably crowded and there is no place to stay.

Han Mu raised this question, and Xie Daoyuan looked at him like an idiot and said, "Don't you know that there are ten river sections of dragon boat races every year?"

Han Mu rolled his eyes and thought to himself: "How could I know that I am new..." He was timid in his mouth, secretly sucking Su Hongling with his eyes, and thought to himself: If you ignore me, I will give you a good look tonight.

Su Hongling didn't like him at all, and continued to chat with Xie Daoyun without seeing each other. Han Mu had no choice but to take a few rice dumplings to the side and eat and chat with a few servants of the Xie family. The servants of the Xie family were flattered and flattered, which made Han Mu regain some confidence.

There are a lot of flower boats on the river not far away, and people are surging on the boat, but today people are not going to do that for the sake of doing it. The flower boats also have benefits. The Dragon Boat Festival is on a day off and have fun.

It was near the intersection of Chen and Si, and the sound of cannons shook the sky at the starting point near the Taimiao in the distance, and the dragon boat competition began. From a distance, there were only more than ten dragon boats on the wide river channel, riding the wind and waves.

The dragon boats in the capital are indeed different from the rich people in the countryside. They are tall and long, with huge dragon heads in front of them, and nearly thirty oarsmen on the boat, all of them are big and round waists. As the drum beats and the audience's shouts become more and more intense, these men are also working hard. The dragon boats are sliding on the blue waves of the Huai River as if they are flying.

Everyone on the shore was excited and their fists were clenched. Even the Flying Tigers climbed up several arrow towers and shouted.

Han Mu was a little bored. He really didn't think such a dragon boat race looked good. It was purely brute force and had no beauty at all.

Suddenly he found a riot in the crowd next to the Han house. After a closer look, several people dressed in officers and soldiers were pulling out a person from the crowd, punching and kicking, and the crowd next to him also greeted him. Han Mu looked familiar from afar. The man looked thin and thin eyebrows and eyes full of dirt on his face. It seemed that he had seen it somewhere. When he looked carefully, his heart trembled. The man turned out to be Han Qi.

Han Mu hurriedly asked someone to go and take Han Qi back and take Han Qi to the house. Han Mu got off the platform and walked towards him. When Han Qi saw Han Mu, he ran over with screams and hugged Han Mu's legs, and cried with tears in his nose and tears.

Han Mu quickly asked someone to pull him up, poured a cup of tea, and took a lot of snack rice dumplings for him to eat. Han Qi was probably hungry for several days and was desperate to play in his mouth, choking himself so hard that he rolled his eyes.

Han Mu comforted him with a gentle voice: "Eat slowly, you're home, don't be so anxious." Han Qi then slowed down a little, ate six rice dumplings in one go, and poured two cups of fragrant tea brought by Xie Daoyun. Then he wiped his mouth, then hugged Han Mu's legs and started crying.

Han Mu shouted: "Speak, why are you crying? What's wrong?"

Han Qi then opened his mouth and told Han Mu about the matter with a choking voice.
