Chapter 140: guess

At this moment, the sound of drumming suddenly sounded outside, and the drum sound was slow and even as if it was accumulating energy.
Ren Yaoqi subconsciously looked out of the window, but saw dozens of long and narrow dragon boats spread out on the river. Each boat had two rows on the dragon boat. There were about two dozen people in different costumes. There was a drum in front of a person, and the sound of the drum came from here.
Xiao Jinglin also turned her head and cast a glance: "This is about to begin."
At this time, Xiao Jingxi also just sat down beside them, and smiled upon hearing the words: "Wenting is to get off the boat to start the race."
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin looked back. Although they were in the cabin, they had a good view. In addition to seeing the scene on the river, they could also see the high platform on the shore.
Sure enough, Yun Wenting happened to be on the high platform at this moment, standing behind Grandpa Yun. In addition, the Patriarchs of the Su family, the Ren family, and the Han family were all standing there. They all looked at a certain place together, but their posture was very respectful, as if they were waiting for someone.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but move in his heart, and then he saw a tall middle-aged man on the high platform surrounded by several people. The man's face was solemn and steady, his facial features were gentle with the majesty of a long-time high-ranking person, and he was wearing an inky black robe embroidered with a four-claw dragon. Seeing this dress, Ren Yaoqi could already guess the identity of this person. This is Yanbei King Xiao Yan.
This was the first time Ren Yaoqi saw the legendary King Yanbei, so he glanced twice more. Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin are not very similar to him, presumably they are more Xiao mothers.
"Brother, won't you go down?" Xiao Jinglin asked Xiao Jingxi a glance.
"I'm not on the boat here, they don't even know I'm here." Xiao Jingxi replied with a smile on his mouth.
There were men on the high platform, but Ren Yaoqi gave a slight gaze when he looked behind Wang Yanbei. There were also several people who came with King Yanbei, one of them was Xiao Jingyue, the second son who had met on the bridge before. Standing next to Xiao Jingyue was a young man with a beautiful face and a little shorter head. However, Ren Yaoqi recognized that the young man was a girl dressed as a woman. This girl happened to be the one who had a fate. Wu Yiyu of the Wu family.
Wu Yiyu followed the people from the Yanbei Palace on the high platform, staring at the river with some proud eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was very reserved.
Brother and sister Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin must have seen Wu Yiyu too, but they did not say anything, just like Ren Yaoqi or anyone on the boat, just watching the excitement.
Su Chengyuan, the old grandfather of the Su family, offered a stick wrapped in red silk with his hands, and King Yanbei took it with his right hand and squeezed it in his hands casually.
Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin stood up. Although Ren Yaoqi had not participated in a dragon boat race, she also stood up without saying a word. The people outside were all watching King Yanbei respectfully. No matter how noisy the scene was before, they were quiet now.
King Yanbei walked to the gong hanging in front of the high platform, raised his hand and slammed on it. The loud gongs and drums sounded with echoes all the time, seemingly rippling away in substantial circles, and the entire river surface could be heard clearly.
Almost at the same time, more than a dozen dragon boats on the river moved, and the drums on the dragon boat changed from slow to eager. They shot out with the sound of the dragon boat and rushed forward. The shaking cheers also rang at this time.
On the high platform, everyone gathered around King Yanbei to sit on the main seat.
Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin sat down again, and Ren Yaoqi was also seated. On the high platform, Mr. Yun, who was about to come down, was stopped by Wu Yiyu, who was disguised as a man. Ren Yaoqi couldn't take care of these nostalgias. He pretended not to see anything and diverted his eyes, looking towards the river.
The big ship also moved, but the speed was slow. There were a lot of dragon boats in front, hanging far behind. As soon as the boat moved, the slightly warm wind with moisture on the river surface became obvious, which made people feel very comfortable.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi's seriousness, Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but smile and asked, "Who won?"
The distance between the dragon boat and the big ship has been widened. Even if Ren Yaoqi tried his best to look at it, it was difficult to see after all. She was about to shake her head and said that she didn't know, but Xiao Jinglin said: "The second one is the Lei family and the Su family. , The third is the Yun family."
"The Lei family also has a boat?" Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being taken aback.
She didn't look down on the Lei family when she asked. Although the Ren family was not in Yunyang City, each time it was just a symbolic use of a dragon boat with another family. Even the Han family, although this time was invited by the Su family to prepare for this dragon boat race, but because the Han family had been in Yanzhou for less than a year, there was no time to prepare their own dragon boat, so they shared a boat with a family named Li.
Although she had never watched a dragon boat race before, she knew that the people of Yanbei were very particular about this dragon boat. It required a lot of processes before it was officially launched, and every year or two would not really launch it. So I was very surprised.
Xiao Jingxi glanced at Ren Yaoqi and smiled and said, "The reason why the dragon boats of Yanbei are so complicated is that the manufacturing process of the dragon head is too complicated. Although the body of each dragon boat is placed outside the city. In the Chenghuang Temple, the dragon heads are kept by each family. When the Lei family moved south, they took the dragon head with them. They have been well maintained over the past few decades, so they can only launch this year."
Ren Yaoqi was taken aback when he heard the words, and also glanced at Xiao Jingxi, but he met his dark smiling eyes. The sparkling waves on the river surface seemed to be projected in his eyes, which could dazzle Huaren's eyes after a long time.
Ren Yaoqi subconsciously shifted his gaze out of the window, but immediately felt something strange. She subconsciously tilted her head slightly, her gaze seemed to fall on the surface of the river, and the sound of drumming outside went from far to near, and the dozen dragon boats returned.
Suddenly Ren Yaoqi thought of what was wrong. The Lei family had fled southward, and it made sense to carry the treasures of the family's ancestral tablet. Why even take the dragon head of the dragon boat race? You must know that this thing is really not small, and it is also very heavy, I am afraid that a carriage will be spared to be used for loading.
I always feel that what Lei family wants to prove when they take out the faucet, and what to prove? Do you prove that this house is a righteous inheritance?
However, Ren Yaoqi felt a little bluffing.
"This Lei Family...the momentum is quite strong." Xiao Jinglin's voice drew Ren Yaoqi's attention.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi subconsciously when he heard the words, and Xiao Jingxi's mouth smiled and looked out the window. At this time, the dozen dragon boats just entered their sight range, except for the dragon boat with Yanbei Palace's temperament. , There are three dragon boats behind it, you chase me, the situation is stalemate.
Somehow Ren Yaoqi just moved in his heart and subconsciously said: "Do you want to use Lei's family?"
