Lizhi said, "My lady, in Youzhou, the Dragon Boat Festival is also known as the Daughter's Day. From May 1st to 5th, every family would wear pomegranate flowers in their hair for their daughters and for the daughters returning home to marry. Later, this spread to Tokyo. Every Dragon Boat Festival, many families would wear pomegranate flowers in their daughters' hair. Lady Gudu spread the word, asking the maids in the mansion to wear pomegranate flowers to add some laughter."
Hua Fushu laughed and said, "I'm really ignorant. I didn't know there was such a custom during the Dragon Boat Festival. No wonder the maids in the mansion gathered together to laugh."
Sanqiao said, "Girl, you know that in previous years when Madam Duanwu gave you a pomegranate flower, you jumped faster than anyone else."
Hua Fushu glanced at Sanqiao, and Sanqiao giggled, ignoring the look Hua Fushu gave her.
Hua Fushu forced a smile. Actually, she really didn't know that there was a custom of wearing pomegranate flowers on the Dragon Boat Festival. In previous years, when she saw her sister wearing pomegranate flowers on the Dragon Boat Festival, she would laugh at her for being conceited. She thought that she was an adult and didn't want to be conceited. Whenever her mother wanted to wear pomegranate flowers on her, she would run away and go to Sanjiang Tower to eat some delicious snacks before going home.
Si De and Li Zhi smiled softly. Hua Fushu let them laugh and secretly made up his mind to find a chance to deal with San Qiao.
The next day, Hua Fushu and Sanqiao were going to Bao's house. Madam Ouyang thought that today was the Dragon Boat Festival, so she advised her to go tomorrow. Thanks to Ye Shiheng's persuasion, the two of them were able to go to Bao's house smoothly.
Bao Changzhou originally thought that she would not come today, but he did not expect that she would actually come. Seeing the old housekeeper taking her to the nephew's room, he walked up to her and said, "Miss."
Seeing the smile on his face, Hua Fushu was slightly startled, "Master Bao."
Bao Changzhou bowed to thank her for taking the trouble to come. Hua Fushu responded indifferently and walked towards the door, but heard coughing and Zhang's anxious voice. Bao Changzhou and the housekeeper subconsciously ran into the house, and Hua Fushu also hurried in.
The child named Jun'er was supported by his mother Zhang, and a trace of blood was spitting out of his mouth. Hua Fushu walked quickly, pushed the old housekeeper away, took the hand that was not even as thick as three of her fingers, and took his pulse. A hint of tension appeared in her eyes, and she asked Bao Changzhou to put Jun'er on the couch and hold him down.
Zhang threw aside Jun'er's clothes, and Hua Fushu took out the needle and started acupuncture with such speed that it was dazzling.
Not to mention Bao Changzhou and Zhang, even the housekeeper stared at him intently, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
When the coughing stopped, Hua Fushu removed the silver needle from Jun'er's body and took his pulse. Seeing that his pulse was stable, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Although it was a little dangerous, it's all right now. Please rest assured, both of you."
Bao Changzhou and Zhang smiled at each other, and thanked Hua Fushu.
Hua Fushu asked about yesterday's medicinal bath, and Bao Changzhou told him everything without missing a word.
Hua Fushu listened carefully, and then suggested another medicinal bath today. He added a few more herbs to the original medicinal bath recipe and reduced the dosage of other herbs.
Bao Changzhou ordered the housekeeper to prepare a medicinal bath, gave Zhang a few instructions, and then went to look for Bao's father.
…
Every May 5th, the Danshui River becomes unusually lively because of the annual dragon boat race.
On that day, the sky was clear and the air was bright. The banks of the Danshui River were crowded with people. People from all over the country, city residents, dignitaries, and anyone who had free time arrived at the Danshui River early, fearing that they would not be able to get a good seat.
The drums sounded and the red flags were raised. The dragon boats jumped out of the water, the paddles paddled in the water, the oars' shadows flew up and down, and the drums beat through the waves like bursts of thunder.
The loud voices also scared away the birds perched in the trees.
The carriage came galloping and hurried. The horses raised their front hooves, and the driver quickly calmed them down.
Two girls, both wearing the same hairpin skirt, got off the car. One was slightly taller, and the other had big, watery eyes. These two girls were the sisters of the Shui family, Shui Youyou and Shui Lingling.
Afterwards, another beautiful and graceful woman came down. She was wearing a pink and purple dress and had a beautiful face. She was Miss Yun from the Lu family.
Shui Lingling and Shui Youyou pulled Lu Tianyun into the crowd. Suddenly, a few people squeezed in and separated the three of them. Lu Tianyun looked at the Shui sisters in the crowd and was about to go over, but someone who squeezed in from behind pushed her.
When she turned around, the Shui sisters had disappeared. Suddenly, she became anxious and called the Shui sisters' names, but there was no response.
She squeezed over to find the Shui sisters. The dragon boats in the river were chasing each other fiercely. People on both sides of the river cheered loudly and crowded together to witness the most exciting moment.
Lu Tianyun had been pushed to the shore. She looked at the waves created by the paddle board, and her feet were less than an inch away from the river. Her heart trembled and she hurriedly tried to retreat.
Someone bumped into her, and she was shaking and about to fall into the river.
Just then, a strong hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to the shore, slamming her into a broad chest.
Lu Tianyun saw that the man was wearing purple clothes. Because he was tall, she couldn't see his face. Her almond-shaped eyes slowly looked up and she saw his smooth jaw and prominent Adam's apple.
This person is clearly a man!
She was well-educated and abided by the rules of women's clothing. She knew that men and women should not touch each other, so she quickly pushed the man away and saw his face clearly.
His facial features are exquisitely crafted, like the mountains and rivers painted by a famous artist. His eyebrows and eyes are heroic and reveal a bit of arrogance. This man is clearly His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin!
Looking at that man, she almost wanted to scream out loud, and her heart couldn't help but want to jump out of her body. She never expected to meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin.
I didn’t expect that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin would come to watch the dragon boat race!
She was so nervous and excited that she couldn't utter a word.
This was her first time to have close contact with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin!
"temple……"
She only managed to utter one word, but Qin Youran took over, "There are too many people here, please leave."
Lu Tianyun nodded after thinking about it, and Qin Youran protected her and left the crowded crowd.
Mu Qing walked up, called him "Young Master", and nodded in greeting to Lu Tianyun.
Mu Qing made a gesture of invitation and said, "Sir, please get in the car."
Qin Youran asked Lu Tianyun to come over. Lu Tianyun was slightly stunned. She glanced at the carriage parked not far away. Qin Youran suddenly realized that she had been impolite and felt a little embarrassed.
Seeing that he was a little uneasy, Lu Tianyun looked at the crowd on the bank of the Dan River and said, "Your Highness, I came to the Dan River with the Shui family girl to watch the dragon boat race, but we got separated because of the large crowd. Youyou and Lingling are still in the crowd. I wonder if you can find them?"
Qin Youran looked at Mu Qing, and Mu Qing responded yes and went to look for sisters Shui Youyou and Shui Lingling.
Lu Tianyun's heart couldn't stop beating, and her almond-shaped eyes slightly raised, but she saw that Qin Youran had already looked at the Dan River. Both sides of the river were full of people, the drums were beating like thunder, and the voices were noisy. At such a time, no one felt it was noisy, there was only joy and happiness.
After hesitating for a moment, she slowly said, "Your Highness...are you here to watch the dragon boat race as well?"
Qin Youran shrugged and said with a smile, "The City Patrol has a lot of things to do, and I'm so busy. Since I have three days off for Dragon Boat Festival, I naturally need to relax. I heard there were dragon boat races at Danshui, so I asked Mu Qing to prepare a carriage to watch the dragon boat race. I didn't expect there would be so many people. Even though I arrived a little late, I couldn't get a good seat."
