Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

  Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most important festivals in the Chu Dynasty. The imperial court will be closed for three days, and the official will hold dragon boat races to enjoy with the people.

   Every year, the champion of the dragon boat race is rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and even for the thousand taels of silver, the common people will try their best to fight for it.

   In addition to official competitions, there are also dragon boat competitions held by major chambers of commerce, which are also rich in rewards.

   And this year, the major academies also jointly held a dragon boat competition, occupying a corner of the Jinhai Lake as the competition venue. The contestants are all dragon boat players selected by the academies.

Of course, the rewards offered by the academy are also different. There is very little silver, and the champion is only five hundred taels. However, in addition to the money, the winning team can enter the Qingxi Academy and the third-floor library of Songshan Academy to copy five books each. .

   This means that the champion can get ten books.

   For readers, books are priceless. Since the establishment of the imperial examinations, the monopoly of knowledge by the clans has been broken. Now even the poor can send their children to read and read if they have the courage.

   has evolved to the present, although books are still precious, but they can no longer be monopolized by others.

   However, some books and some knowledge still cannot be found in the market. Except for the Four Books and Five Classics and some books related to the imperial examinations, most of the other books in the bookstore are some miscellaneous notes, words and so on.

   If you want other books, it depends more on luck and ability, whether you are lucky enough to encounter it, and whether you have the ability to buy it.

  Because many books are in the collection of aristocratic families, they will not easily let these books flow out.

  Those books, even just one, may become family heirlooms, which shows their preciousness.

  For example, the Li family, the set of medical books that the Wan family gave to Baolu was recorded and accumulated by Li Bo's branch over the past dynasties.

   That's why Qin Xinfang felt that Wan's dowry to Baolu was too precious, because knowledge was priceless.

  If Li Baolu didn't return the book to Li Jun, then the descendants of the Li family after Li Jun might not even know herbal medicine, so what about the He Xinglin family?

   And if Li Baolu neither learned the above knowledge nor kept the books well, then the accumulation of several generations of the Li family would dissipate in the world and would no longer exist.

   This is the value of books.

The Qingxi Academy and Songshan Academy have survived for more than a hundred years, and the collection of books is close to that of some aristocratic families, and the third floor of the legendary Qingxi Academy and Songshan Academy is even more unusual for students to go up. Brains, pen and paper are all rejected.

   And now the winner can openly transcribe ten books from it, and all the students in the capital are boiling.

   means that students above grade 8 are eager to participate.

However, looking down at their arms that lacked exercise, the students gave up silently, but the students in the fifth and sixth grades were very active. First, they competed in the lake of the academy and selected the best twenty-five people. , two of whom are substitutes.

The female students of the women's college also actively met to cheer for them, so on the Dragon Boat Festival, there were greenhouses on the edge of Jinhai Lake. All the big boats and painting boats in the capital were rented at high prices. The restaurant next to the Jinhai Lake The teahouse is even more full, and all reservations were made as early as half a month ago.

Gu Damei had reserved a box in the restaurant before to please Baolu. Now that Baolu was pregnant, Gu Damei was even more dedicated. She went to the palace two days earlier and took one when she came out. The box, the box contains a clairvoyance.

   It is said that it was a tribute from Fanbang, and there is only one pair. It is the highest definition at present, and it is more than ten times better than the collection of the Ministry of War and other generals.

  When the late emperor was there, the fourth prince once begged the late emperor once, but he was not willing to give it away, but felt that the pair was auspicious, so it was not appropriate to separate.

   And now they are separated.

  Gu Jingyun gave the clairvoyance to Bao Lu, and smiled: "When the time comes, use this to look at it. The box faces the lake on three sides, and you can see the games of the three venues, and you can see clearly how far."

  Gu Meiren is so sincere, how could Li Baolu live up to his wishes? Therefore, she refused all invitations from the students, and did not form a team with other gentlemen in the academy. She even allowed Gu Jingyun to drive the two younger disciples to the academy to participate in group activities, and they lived in a two-person world by themselves.

In the capital, there is a custom of returning to her parents' home on the Dragon Boat Festival. Li Baolu remembered that Li Jun was out for business now, while Li He and Li Liu both went to Daning to stare at Ren Chungong and have not come back. Li Hong and his wife are the only ones left in the Li family. I didn't want to face Li Hong, so I just planned to have someone send a basket of zongzi.

   In the evening, they had to go back to Qin Mansion to have dinner and celebrate the festival together, so Qin Mansion did not even save the dumplings.

   Early in the morning, Li Baolu squatted in the kitchen and ate a meat dumpling first, and nodded with satisfaction before going to the thin red jujube dumpling.

She tasted both the salty and sweet zongzi before picking out two baskets of zongzi, and instructed Dongfeng: "The Li family can eat both the salty and sweet zongzi. This basket is for the Li family, but the Fu family only eats the salty zongzi. The basket is for the Fu family..."

In her previous life, Li Baolu's hometown was full of salty rice dumplings, but in the modern era of zero-distance communication, sweet rice dumplings are also sold, and she went to university in the north. Except for the first year of the Dragon Boat Festival, she was a little confused and uncomfortable, and in the next three years She accepted the sweet rice dumplings without obstacles.

   In this life, the Qiongzhou zongzi they lived in were salty, but regardless of whether the Li family or the Qin family lived, the zongzi in the capital city they used to eat were sweet.

   Therefore, Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun ate both kinds of zongzi from childhood.

   But Fu Dalang is different. The zongzi he has eaten since his childhood was salty. Since his mother left, he has not eaten zongzi every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, but the concept of salty zongzi is still deeply rooted, so Li Baolu only gives him salty ones.

   If he wants something sweet, he can buy one for a few pennies on the street.

   However, most people who are talented in salty dumplings have a hard time accepting sweet dumplings.

  As soon as Gu Jingyun walked into the kitchen, he saw that Baolu had touched another small zongzi and wanted to peel it off. He couldn't help frowning, and he stepped forward and grabbed it, "Glutinous rice is easy to accumulate food, you can't eat it today."

  Li Baolu felt a little regretful, what should she do if she still wants to eat?

   After knowing that she was pregnant, Gu Jingyun couldn't control his stomach, and stared at her tightly and said, "There will be delicious food in a while, but now that you are full, you won't be able to eat other good food."

   "Then when are we going?"

  Gu Jingyun turned his head and glanced at the sun outside, estimated the time and said, "Go now."

   It's still a while before the game, but Baolu is already hungry, so it's not bad for them to go a little earlier and take a walk to digest.

  The matter of giving gifts is left to Dongfeng, Gu Jingyun and Baolu bring Nanfeng and Hearts to Jinhai Lake.

  The reason why Gu Jingyun brought them is to let them protect Baolu. There will be many people around Jinhai Lake today, and when the crowd is crowded, Baolu will inevitably need to be protected in the middle. Even if she knows martial arts, it is difficult to protect herself in the crowd.

   So Gu Jingyun took everyone to go shopping for the first time ever.

  The carriage had to stop for a long distance from Jinhai Lake and moved forward slowly.

Because there are too many people coming today, horses, carts, mules, ox carts, long queues on the driveway, and the sidewalks on both sides are even more crowded, but the crowd is always flowing, so it looks like a horse-drawn carriage. Even faster.

   Pedestrians can't help but feel relieved when they see it, no matter what car you have, it doesn't work with their legs at this time.

  Gu Jingyun lifted the curtain and glanced at it, just as he expected, nodded slightly in satisfaction, turned his head and said to the sleepy Baolu, "Let's walk over."

   "What?" Li Baolu raised her head in confusion, looked out and instantly sobered up. She shook her head and said, "I don't want it, it's still a long way from here."

   "It only took half an hour to walk there," Gu Jingyun coaxed her and said, "By the way, you can also look at the small stalls on both sides of the road."

  Baolu ate a lot of zongzi in the morning. Eating too much glutinous rice can easily lead to sleepiness. At this time, if you fall asleep, food will accumulate in your stomach, and it will be uncomfortable for a while, or you will not be able to eat other things.

  The former is not feeling well, the latter is not feeling well, so it is better to go for a walk to digest food.

  Gu Jingyun also thoughtfully brought her sour plum soup for digestion, which was served in a bamboo tube, which is still warm now.

  Li Baolu looked at him pitifully, Gu Jingyun was unmoved, jumped out of the carriage first before turning around to help her, "Come down, I'll lead you."

  Heart moved the stool cleverly and put it down, and Nanfeng and Nanfeng stood beside the car.

  Li Baolu pouted and could only get out of the car.

  Qingling scratched her head and whispered to her sister, "Why is my wife so lazy these past two days?"

  On weekdays, it is the wife who proposes to walk, and the master who does not want to walk. In the past few days, it has been reversed. Qingling said that her eyes are not used to it.

Hong Tao glanced at her sister and didn't say a word. She was a fool. My wife was pregnant and sleepy. Before dawn, she would get up to practice swordsmanship, then meditate. Not to mention swordsmanship and Qinggong, the meditation that I could insist on for the first few days has also been cancelled in these two days, and the master has to dig people out of bed every day before they can set off.

  Sometimes I read a book in the study room and fall asleep accidentally while watching, but Hearts has seen the master with a pen marking the homework for his wife more than once, and then read it to her again and again...

   This is probably the reaction of the wife's pregnancy. According to Wang Taiyi, the reaction will be bigger in the first few months, and it will be better later.

   So Hearts said calmly to her sister: "It will be fine in a while."

   After saying that, he pulled her forward, followed behind to protect Li Baolu, separated her from the crowd, and prevented the people behind her from bumping into her.

  Gu Jingyun stood on Baolu's left and walked with her hand, so that she could look at the things on the booth on the right as she walked.

   The group had to stop after taking a few steps before they could continue to move forward, so the speed was extremely slow. While the outside is so lively, the interior is even more lively, there are people everywhere, and the voices of hawking are endless.

   Fortunately, there are yamen in the inner circle to maintain order, so although there are many people, the speed of progress is accelerated.

Sheds have been erected on the grass beside Jinhai Lake, with the names and emblems of each family erected beside them. Aristocratic families and businesses with strong financial resources have also set up tables next to the sheds, filled with all kinds of rice dumplings, which are provided free of charge. Pedestrians eat and taste.

Li Baolu glanced at the people who were queuing to receive it, and then at the pile of rice dumplings. She was speechless for a while, "It's so rich. It seems that the powerful and powerful families have built sheds. ?"

"Uncle and aunt donated things to Yushantang," Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "If you build a shed, you have to stay here to entertain people who come to visit. It's a waste of time. It's better to accompany your aunt and Niuniu on a lake tour. "

   Therefore, neither the Qin family nor the Gu family built a greenhouse, not because they were incapable, but because they didn't want to join in the fun.

  Gu Jingyun glanced at Bao Lu's stomach and said with a small smile, "This time I also donated something to Yushantang with my uncle."

  Li Baolu was surprised, "Have you figured it out?"
