Chapter 70 Dragon Boat Festival
A few plates of exquisite side dishes and a pot of tea were what Miss Yu used to entertain Fu Su. When we were in the garden, the flowers were blooming extremely luxuriantly in this early summer, which made people feel like they were in front of the flowers and under the moon. It was a pity that Fu Su
Su didn't dare to show it because the person opposite him was a "man".
"Master Yu, do you know why Chu Land is holding a dragon boat race for the Dragon Boat Festival when it is in such chaos?" Fusu asked, taking a sip of the tea in the cup.
Miss Yu said with a smile on her face: "Of course. This custom in our Chu land has been going on for hundreds of years. How could we suddenly stop doing it? Did my uncle give you the task of hosting the dragon boat race?" As he said this,
Her face showed a flush of excitement.
Fusu smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, the prefect has entrusted this important task to me, a person who doesn't understand the rules of dragon boats at all. It has already made me dizzy with mail."
"Then you are asking me about the dragon boat race today?"
"Besides this, I would like to ask you to lend me someone else?"
"You mean Lao Chen?" As soon as she heard Fusu's words, she immediately thought of the expert boat operator.
"Yes, sir, you not only want to run this competition well, but also want to win first place." Fusu's wry smile became a symbol.
"It's not impossible, but I lent you Lao Chen, what can you give me in return?" Miss Yu suddenly became a shrewd businessman, squinting her eyes and looking up and down Fusu, as if evaluating him.
.
"I..." Fusu suddenly got stuck. Now there was no chocolate to make the girl happy. If he wanted to send flowers, the other party might not accept it. Fusu wanted to say that he would commit himself to her, of course.
So he will be kicked out by this Miss Yu.
Seeing the distress on Fusu's face, she smiled and said: "Well, if you let Qing Ming and I participate in this dragon boat race, I will leave Lao Chen to you." After saying this, she giggled proudly.
"Ah?" Fusu was stunned for a moment, not expecting that she would actually make such a request, "Will your uncle, the prefect, agree?"
"Well, he doesn't know, and I also want to try the dragon boat race. If you don't agree, I can only refuse you." Miss Yu's face suddenly became serious.
Fusu thought with a grimace for a long time before saying, "Okay, then I'll obey you." He didn't know whether he was afraid that she wouldn't borrow Lao Chen or that she would be unhappy.
"Okay, then it's settled." Miss Yu suddenly became happy.
After solving this problem, Fusu asked curiously: "Young Master just said that the Dragon Boat Festival has a history of hundreds of years, but is it to commemorate Qu Yuan, who jumped into the river and died for his country?"
"Why do you associate this dragon boat race with Dr. Sanlu?" Miss Yu asked strangely.
"Isn't it? I just guessed at random." Fusu naturally would not tell her because most people in his later generations would say so, "Because I know that he was a loyal and patriotic person, and it is not unreasonable for everyone to commemorate him.
ah."
"Doctor Sanlu is indeed a loyal minister, but he is only loyal to the King of Chu. What good is it to the people of Chu? In fact, he is most loyal to their own Qu family. The people of Chu will never know that there is such a person as him for Chu.
The country jumped into the river." Miss Yu took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and continued, "And this dragon boat race was already popular in our country of Chu when Qu Yuan was alive, and later it spread to the country of Lu.
Waiting for a country, how can other countries commemorate a patriotic person in our Chu country? You must know that Dr. Sanlu is only a minister of Chu, and his loyalty to the Chu country means that he is an enemy of other countries."
After listening to her words, the conclusion that had existed in Fusu's mind for decades suddenly collapsed. He didn't expect that he had been deceived like this for decades, always believing that the Dragon Boat Festival was to commemorate Qu Yuan. History can really deceive people. Then he
He was a little proud. If he hadn't traveled through time this time, he might still be deceived by history like modern people without realizing it. He believed that there was an inexplicable relationship between Dragon Boat Festival and Qu Yuan. He drank the tea in the cup, stood up and said:
"Since the young master agreed to lend Mr. Chen a hand, I will wait for Jiayin and take my leave now."
Miss Yu stood up and said goodbye: "Don't forget to promise me."
In the next few days, Fusu temporarily became the host of the Dragon Boat Festival and began to busy preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival, especially the dragon boat competition. He found many people who were making a living on the river and organized them into a team.
A powerful fleet, and Lao Chen was also invited to help, and he worked enthusiastically. During this period, Miss Yu and Qing Ming also came to participate several times, but they are women after all, and their physical strength is far inferior to these real men.
, so it was just a matter of fact. Fusu also hoped that they could retreat and give up this idea.
Unknowingly, it was already the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. That day, Yu Fulong went to find Fusu. After meeting him, Yu Fulong said awkwardly: "I originally thought that this Dragon Boat Festival competition would be just a major event in my Jiujiang County. Unexpectedly, Chu people
Both the Fang Fang and Peigong Fang have sent ships to participate, so it seems that your responsibility will be heavy this time."
"What? Then how does our dragon boat compare with the boats of the Chu navy? Why did Liu Bang also join in?"
"This official is unknown, you just have to do your best. Hey, the Dragon Boat Festival in Jiujiang has never been so lively."
Fusu could only accept the task with a wry smile, but at the same time he also let go of one thing on his mind, that is, Miss Yu and his wife would not come to participate in this dragon boat race.
While Fusu was making the final arrangements, Peng Hong had already found the area near Jiujiang County. He searched all the way along the waterway, but did not find Fusu's body, which made him more and more confident that Fusu was alive.
I heard that there was a dragon boat race in Jiujiang County, so I decided to go there to find out the news. After all, since there is such a big event there, there must be a lot of people, so it is easy to find out the news.
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
The morale of the army is in chaos, and then we will have the opportunity to replace them and become the true masters of the Chu Kingdom."
"Pei Gong, isn't it too risky to do this? After all, we don't have many people, and Xiang Yu is not someone who can be dismissed easily. If you are not careful, you will end up in a disastrous end." Xiao He said without concern.
"Wealth and honor have been sought in danger since ancient times. When we first started the uprising, we were almost unsure of whether it would succeed. If we try this time, I might be rewarded with all the soldiers and civilians of the Chu region in my hands. Why can't we give it a try?
"Liu Bang said with deep-seated hatred in his eyes. This is why Liu Bang didn't have much ability but was able to get help from Xiao He and others wholeheartedly. He was quite protective of his brothers. Since Fan Kuai died in their hands,
Liu Bang must avenge this.
The Dragon Boat Festival has finally arrived.
When Fusu woke up early in the morning, he saw that there was a festive atmosphere everywhere. Mugwort was tied to the door of every house, five-colored threads were tied to children's wrists, and there was a smell of realgar in the air.
In modern cities, you can never see such a strong festive atmosphere. When Fusu saw all this, he felt that his hard work had not been in vain. Regardless of whether it was to commemorate Qu Yuan or not, this Dragon Boat Festival was after all a very important event in Chudi.
A 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. Although the dragon boat race was also held in the past Dragon Boat Festival, the scale was small, with only a few boats.
The last time in the small boat race, the winner only received a commendation from the prefect, but this time it was completely different. In addition to several local dragon boats, there was also a dragon boat team from the Xiang family and a dragon boat team from Liu Bang.
There is also the King of Chu. It has been said that the winner of this dragon boat race can be rewarded by the King of Chu. If he is a civilian or civil servant, he can get a title. If he is a military general, he can be given the position of general of Chu State. All at once.
Dragon boat racing experts from all over the country came to participate, and the scale was unprecedented.
So when Fusu came to the riverside, what he saw was a crowd of people. Regardless of whether they participated in this competition or not, people rushed to the riverside to wait to see the appearance of the first general after the re-establishment of the Chu Kingdom. "
Mr. Zhou, you are a little late." Miss Yu and the other two called Fusu from the side.
Fusu hurriedly walked over and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Yu won't be able to fulfill your request last time."
"I know this is a major event for Chu State, and I don't want to embarrass you. Just think of it as you owe me a favor." Miss Yu said nonchalantly.
"But you must remember to return my son." Qing Ming joked at the side.
Just when Fusu was about to say yes, he heard another voice calling him: "Zhang Zhou, my general is here to invite you." Fusu knew him. He was one of Xiang Liang's personal guards. He was busy chatting with the two girls.
He said goodbye and came to an open space on Xiang Liang's side. A high shelf had been set up here for Xiang Liang and others to watch the game. Xiang Liang saw Fusu coming and hurriedly called him up.
She stood up and said: "Master, who will be the real winner this time?"
Fusu stood here and looked down, feeling that the river was unusually calm, and he felt relieved and said: "This event was promoted by General Xiang, so the winner this time must be General Xiang."
.”
"How do you say it was me who pushed for it? You must know that this proposal was made by the King of Chu."
"Even if the King of Chu came up with it, how could it become a reality without the general's approval? Just wait and see the general become the general of Chu." As soon as he finished speaking, there was already a message from the river bank: "
The drums were beating "dong dong", the crowd began to cheer, and the boat began to enter the water.
PS: The World Cup, which is held every four years, is coming to an end. After reading the novel, everyone is guessing who will be the champion~~~
