Chapter 7: Dragon boat

The second day is the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival. Liu Qinghuan sat alone in the attic of the inner hall to cool off. There was some food on the table, but Liu Qinghuan had no appetite, only looking out of the distance through the curtain.
Xue Mu boarded the attic, went to the bed and sat next to her: "Clear."
He cried suddenly, scaring Liu Qinghuan and almost throwing out the fan in his hand. Seeing her patience, Xue Mu smiled for a while before asking: "It's Dragon Boat Festival today, why not watch the boat race?"
Liu Qinghuan glanced at him and replied: "It's hot and I don't want to move." She didn't forget to complain after she said, "Summer is really annoying."
Xue Mu thought about it and asked, "Qing Qing doesn't like summer?"
"I don't like it." Then he asked Xue Mu subconsciously, "What about you?"
Xue Mu said: "I don't like winter the most."
winter? Liu Qinghuan raised his eyebrows. Changan's winter was not very cold, and it was quite lovely compared to summer. She blinked and asked, "Which season do you like best?"
Xue Mu looked at her for a while, then suddenly smiled: "It's also winter."
In the winter of 22 days of Tianzheng, he first met Liu Qinghuan.
That year he was six years old and Liu Qinghuan was three years old.
At that time, his father was often away from home. Liu's wife was afraid that his mother would be lonely at home, so she often invited her to visit Shilang Mansion. After the heavy snow fell that day, Xue Mu could not help but sneak out to the yard to play after listening to them chatting for a long time.
After the snowfall, the courtyard was covered with silver. Xue Mu came to Shilang Mansion for the first time and didn't know the way. He just faintly heard the sound of children playing in front of him, and followed that voice.
There are three children playing snowballs in the yard. The three people were unevenly divided into two groups, not to mention there was a six- or seven-year-old child on one side, and a small group on the opposite side had been beaten to no avail.
The little dumpling stumbled himself, fell to the ground, and cried hummingly: "Big sister and second sister, you bully me together, I'm going to tell Anang!" Although she said in her mouth that she was going to tell her, Lay motionless on the ground.
Huh!
A snowball hit her head exactly, and the snowflakes splattered all at once. Sudden changes interrupted the crying of the small group. She paused for a while, and then burst into tears when she saw a child about the same size as her clapping.
"Wow--" The sound was shocking.
Xue Mu couldn't stand it anymore, Xue Muyi filled with indignation, how could they bully people like this!
He walked to the small group and lifted her up from the snow, comforting her little face crying with a snot and a tear: "The small group doesn't cry, I help you get revenge."
The two people across did not understand who this beautiful boy suddenly appeared. The other party had gathered two round snowballs and threw them straight at them.
Two beeps, snowflakes spread on the clothes of the two.
"Ha ha ha ha ha! The second sister is so stupid!" The small group seemed to have forgotten the pain just now, applauding Xue Mu desperately.
The second sister, who was named and called silly, immediately blushed, quickly rallied a snowball, and politely threw it at Xue Mu. Although Xue Mu is only six years old, he has already followed his father to practice martial arts. He may not be able to escape the hidden weapon on the battlefield, but it is completely worthwhile to escape a snowball.
When the second sister missed a shot, she bent down and wrapped another snowball. But she wasn't finished, Xue Mu's snowball greeted again.
In the end, the elder sister and the second sister were both defeated by Xue Mu, and finally they were beaten and cried.
The cry in the courtyard attracted adults, and Mrs. Shiro glanced at the crying baby girl in the courtyard, and hurried up to ask. The second sister said with a little bit of jealousy. Ningshi pulled Xue Mu and said, "How can you bully a little girl if you are a handsome boy?"
Xue Mu pursed her lips and said, "They bullied the small group first."
The small group immediately rushed past and sue to his mother: "You see, mother, your forehead is blue, it was the second sister's hit!"
Mrs. Shiro couldn't help crying. The three daughters really didn't let her worry.
When leaving Shilang Mansion, Xue Mu glanced back at the little girl wrapped into a ball, pulling his mother's sleeve and saying, "Mother, I like that little dumpling."
The small group suddenly waved at him as if there was an induction, and shouted at him, "I'm not a small group, my name is Liu Qinghuan--"
"Houye?" Liu Qinghuan's long fingers shook in front of Xue Mu's eyes. Why did this person chat and chat and started to stay?
Xue Mu returned to God, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, holding Liu Qinghuan's hand and asking, "Do you remember the scene when we first met?"
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
Why did she have to test her suddenly? If she didn't remember, would she be beaten to death like a parachutist?
Seeing that Liu Qinghuan didn't answer, Xue Mu looked down, took out a colorful life-span from his arms, and smiled at Liu Qing: "Qingqing, how about I help you wear it?"
Life extension is the most commonly worn thing that people wear on Dragon Boat Festival. It can protect people from being caught by evil spirits, and it also means praying for long life. Liu Qinghuan watched Xue Mu entangle the long five-color silk thread in her hands, but her eyes gradually sank.
After Xue Mu got wrapped, Liu Qinghuan looked up at him and said, "I should have Hou Ye."
Xue Mu smiled and said, "Same."
He accompanied Liu Qinghuan to sit in the attic for a while, and Nian Tang went up and said that the emperor summoned Xue Mu into the palace.
At the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, the official Fengjiang paid tribute to the emperor for a lot of gold and silver satin and gourmet specialties. The emperor called Xue Mujin Palace to meet with Jinxian and gave him a bunch of things. When Xue Mu returned to Hou Fu, Nuo Yan was waiting outside.
The people moved in what the emperor rewarded, and Xue Mu asked Nuo Yan, "What is it?"
Nuo Yan said: "Tang Zibo asked to see you."
Xue Mu's eyes narrowed, Tang Zibo.
"Did he say anything?"
"Say it's Dragon Boat Festival to visit Hou Ye."
"Oh." Xue Mu laughed and asked, "What about others?"
"You weren't at the house when you came, I sent him back, maybe I'll come back later."
Xue Mu thought about it and asked, "Where is Qingqing?"
Nuo Yan replied: "Mrs. has been cooling down in the attic."
Xue Mu said nothing and entered the house. After a while, somebody came to brief again, saying that Tang Zibo asked for an interview.
Xue Mu had him lead him to the main hall, and Nuo Yan and He also stood by.
Tang Zibo is a man of elegant temperament, but he is a bit more sophisticated as a businessman than ordinary scholars, but Xue Mu can see that he is capable of martial arts, and his martial arts are not weak.
Since it is said to be visiting, of course, you cannot come empty-handed. The servants behind Tang Zibo carried a lot of things, most of them wine. He glanced at Xue Mu who was sitting in the main hall, and smiled and said, "I always heard that Hou Ye was enjoying the wine. These are all famous wines from all over the country, and Lingnan Lingxi, which I brought back from Lingnan. "
Xue Mu said: "Someone has a deep relationship with Brother Guangyuan, how dare he accept such a great gift."
If ordinary people heard Xue Mu's refusal like this, they would leave dimly, but Tang Zibo was not an ordinary person, he was thick-skinned.
"Houye laughed, but it was just a few altar wines, not a big gift." He looked at Xue Mu, asked with a smile, "I wonder if his wife is doing well?" 2k novel reading network
