A drumbeat suddenly sounded on the shore of the crowded South Lake.

The lakeside was even more lively. The customers who were eating at various stalls in the square all rushed to speed up, wiped their mouths and settled the bill, and rushed towards the lakeside. In just a few minutes, the square immediately became deserted.

This is the Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Race is about to begin.

No pavilion complained that the business was taken away by the dragon boat race because it was too busy this morning and the stall owners also needed to take a breath.

After finishing the last guest's face, Qingxi sat on the bench with her waist and smiled at Meng Jin and some people.

Cuicui is responsible for burning the fire. She sweats the most in the summer. At this moment, she looks at Nanhu while shaking a fan and sighs: "Not to mention the dragon boat race, even if the Queen Mother descends to earth, I don't go to see it, just want to lie on the bed and sleep." Cuicui's life is the first time she has made money and has no choice but to do it.

Meng Jin was responsible for serving vegetables and wiping the table. When the duck was almost used up, he had to run back to Xu's house to get new ones. Overall, it was very hard, but Meng Jin was very polite and stood in Qingxi with a big fan, behind Xiaolan, serving the two girls. Qingxi was very self-aware and teased Xiaolan: "It's your weight."

Xiaolan's cheeks turned red, she stared at Meng Jin, and moved the bench to Cuicui's side.

Cuicui rolled her eyes and shouted loudly: "Come here too, let me benefit from it."

Xiaolan lowered her head and smiled. Meng Jin wanted to go over, but today, Xiaolan was the most relaxed when setting up a stall and collecting money to find money, while Qingxi was the most difficult.

"Let them take a break, too." His eyes fell on the opera troupe, and Qingxi sent Meng in to deliver the message. There were not many guests, so everyone rested.

Relax, Qingxi looked at Nanhu, wondering if Gu Huaixiu was present.

"Miss, why don't I go and have a look?" Xiaolan, who was energetic, volunteered, "The Third Master won, we are the first to know."

Qingxi blushed, but she did not object.

Xiaolan jumped up excitedly. Cuicui and Meng Jin wanted to stay for help, so he could only watch Xiaolan enviously.

There are people on the three floors around the lake, and Xiaolan finally squeezed into the front. On the other side, Old Lady Xu and Lin Wanyinniang sat on the viewing platform where she watched the fireworks last time. Coincidentally, this time the female family of the Gu family still sat in front of them, except for Gu Mingyan’s sister Gu Huifang.

Mrs. Gu had already experienced Mrs. Xu's eloquence. Although Mrs. Xu's attendance made her very unhappy, Mrs. Gu still endured it and looked at the dragon boat team of her own textile factory from afar.

Old Mrs. Xu also disliked her and deliberately asked Gu Yiqiu, who was in the second room: "Miss, why didn't the second lady come today?"

Gu Yiqiu looked at the eldest wife with a complicated expression. She heard all the grudges between her cousin and Qingxi from her mother's second wife. She felt that her cousin should not frame Qingxi, but also felt sorry for her cousin being thrown into feces, which led to a drastic change in personality and was no longer willing to take a step out of the house. The eldest uncle couldn't persuade her, so he had to agree to her cousin's request and send her cousin to study abroad.

"Huifang has gone abroad and is going to receive higher education abroad." Facing Mrs. Xu's knowingly asked, Mrs. Gu took the call, turned around, and stared at Mrs. Xu provocatively: "I heard that Qingxi has been selected for the food festival. Now I am picking up customers in the square to do business?"

Mrs. Gu bit the word "received customers" very seriously, as if Qingxi opened a noodle shop, but another business.

Old Mrs. Xu smiled slightly and said, "Yes, thanks to the three presidents of Hangzhou, they gave Xu Qingtang a stall. Qingxi was so happy that she started working early in the morning. Alas, Qingxi was born to work hard, but Huifang was better off. She went abroad to study at a young age. After two years of graduation, she will definitely be the most popular daughter in Hangzhou."

Humph, she wants to see if Gu Huifang dares to come back, she is a bad girl who suffers herself.

Old Mrs. Gu was about to be angry, and she knew that as long as she mentioned her second granddaughter, she would be at a disadvantage, so she swallowed her anger and ignored Old Mrs. Xu, but Old Mrs. Xu insisted on provoking her.

"Girls talk about returning home from their hometowns. I will be content if they find a good family to marry. I envy you. Qingxi is probably going to be a husband in the future, right? The child is by your side every day to avoid worrying about it." Old Mrs. Gu stepped on Old Mrs. Xu's painful foot. Only families with their children and grandchildren will let their granddaughters lead their ancestors.

After saying this, Old Mrs. Gu even smiled and glanced at Lin Wanyin.

Lin Wanyin has her own upbringing, and even if she feels uncomfortable, she will not show it at this time, so that the other party can get what she wants.

Mrs. Xu understood this principle better than her daughter-in-law, and always looked at Mrs. Gu with a smile: "Qingxi is still young, and the marriage is not urgent. Anyway, it is important to equality between men and women. Let's consider that when Qingxi sets up the restaurant. Mingyan, I heard that he went to the noodle restaurant to find Qingxi a few days ago. Oh, I don't have some things to say. My sister will persuade Mingyan for me. Our two families have retired from their marriages, and it is not appropriate for him to run to the noodle restaurant."

Old Mrs. Gu looked puzzled: "Is there anything wrong? Mingyan has been preparing for a dragon boat race recently. It is impossible for her to have the heart to play. Could it be that Qingxi knew that you like Mingyan and deliberately lied to you? Well, you can't blame Qingxi for being so filial to the little girl, and she knows to make her grandmother happy by saying good things."

Mrs. Xu suddenly burst into laughter, as if she had heard a huge joke. When the nearby female guests looked over, Mrs. Xu waved her hand and smiled intermittently and replied to Mrs. Gu: "The old sister is really good at joking. Ming Yan is romantic and handsome. She has dated many female classmates. It is true that I like this child, but I must not let him be a grandson-in-law, otherwise I would not have broken off the engagement at the beginning, right?"

All the well-known female relatives in Hangzhou were present. Although everyone knew that men were naturally fickle, they heard that Gu Mingyan had had many romantic affairs, but it was still not very good to the man's family.

Old Mrs. Gu still wanted to find the venue, but another drum sound came from the lake, and the dragon boat race officially began.

"Mom, look, the Red Team is our family!" The second wife gave her a step to her mother-in-law in time.

Thinking of her grandson's ability to race dragon boats, Old Mrs. Gu felt comfortable in her chest and glared at Old Mrs. Xu. She turned around and returned to the battle between her own textile factory and Gu Huaixiu.

A staff member next to him introduced the team to his wife and wives. He heard that Team Bai was from Dongsheng Textile Factory. Old Mrs. Xu looked at the lake and looked at the sarcastic and mean face of Mrs. Gu in front. Although Mrs. Xu didn't like Gu Huaixiu, she couldn't help but pray to God and Buddha, hoping to let Gu Huaixiu's team win the championship.

Gu Huaixiu was also invited to the platform to watch the game today and sat in the circle of powerful people in the subjective competition area.

"Huaixiu has played dragon boats before?" Someone asked him, and his identity was indeed qualified to call Gu Huaixu's name directly.

Gu Huaixiu said concisely: "This year is the first time I participated in the competition."

The other party smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's important to participate."

Gu Huaixiu also smiled, and suddenly felt something, looking in a certain direction in the front row.

The third master wearing sunglasses looks like a blind man, and the third master who doesn't wear sunglasses is as cold as the King of Hell, although he is a handsome King of Hell.

Adults were afraid of him, and Han Ying was even more shocked and immediately retracted her neck.

Han Rong noticed his daughter's strangeness, turned his head and looked back, and then met Gu Huaixiu.

Others don’t know Gu Huaixiu’s family background, and Han Rong doesn’t know it either, but the old friend of Shencheng Bank specifically reminded him that Gu Huaixiu was a big fish and asked him to fight for it.

Han Rong was a very smart businessman, showing a bright and kind smile to his big fish from afar.

Gu Huaixiu nodded slightly, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the lake.

However, Han Rong saw a few shadows of Gu Shiqin from the man's cold side face, and then thought of Lin Wanyin. He had a certain friendship with Gu Shiqin in the past, but Gu Shiqin had a wife at home and was still entangled with his Wanyin. At the same time, Gu Shiqin and Gu Huaixiu, the big fish, were incompatible with life and death...

Han Rong touched his neatly combed hairstyle and formally considered how to deal with his relationship with Gu Shiqin next.

The viewing platform has old ladies and merchants’ battlefield, but today the lake is the battlefield of thirty teams.

Somehow it was so coincidental that the team of Dongsheng Textile Factory was actually next to the team of Gujia Textile Factory.

Gu Mingyan's entire team was wearing red clothes. As the captain, he was the last commander before the game. More than 20 players listened attentively, as if facing a great enemy. On the other hand, Lu Duo's team was wearing white clothes. The players were all expressionless and waiting for orders like mechanically. Only the captain Lu Duo lazily leaned against his teammates next to him, facing Gu Mingyan, listening with relish.

Gu Mingyan tried hard to ignore Lu Duo's sight.

Lu Duo insisted on attracting his attention. After Gu Mingyan finished speaking, Lu Duo whistled at him: "Young Master Gu is so nervous, are you afraid of losing to us?"

Gu Mingyan looked at him coldly.

Lu Duo shook the oar in his hand, smiled brightly, revealing a white and neat teeth: "Actually, you don't have to be nervous, because you are nervous or not, today I am destined to be defeated by my uncle and my subordinates."

This was too arrogant. Gu Mingyan's crew members were glaring at each other. More than 20 strong muscular men stared at each other, which was still very shocking.

When Lu Duo saw this, he held the oar in one hand and deliberately made a posture of flexing his arms and exploding his muscles on the other hand. Who doesn’t have muscles?

"Don't have to know him." Gu Mingyan was a noble young man with an upbringing demeanor and looked down on Lu Duo's ruffian at all.

Lu Duo smiled and continued to lie lazily until the sound of drums came from afar. He sat down slowly, cleared his throat, and loudly encouraged his teammates: "I listened, it doesn't matter whether I win the championship today. As long as I win Young Master Gu, I will invite you to the most delicious stewed duck meat in Hangzhou!"

The most delicious stewed duck meat in Hangzhou?

Gu Mingyan immediately thought of the Qian Wang Sixi Ding from Qingxi. He hadn't had the chance to taste it yet. Lu Duo, Uncle San had already eaten it?

Jealous, Gu Mingyan held the oars tightly and was ready to set off at any time.

After the drum sounds, there is a gunshot.

Thousands of people were watching, and thirty teams were like thirty water arrows.

At the beginning, Gu Mingyan's red team was far ahead, but just as the dragon boat team was bypassing the island in the lake, the white team's dragon boat seemed to have a sudden help from the gods. It suddenly increased speed, easily caught up with the red team, and surpassed the past in a blink of an eye.

"Haha, everyone, keep cheering. We'll go eat ducks when we reach the finish line!" Hong and Bai passed by two dragon boats, and Lu Duo's cheerful voice came to Gu Mingyan's ears with the wind.

Gu Mingyan was furious and still did not give up. However, no matter how hard he used, the distance between him and the White Team was getting farther and farther away.

Gu Mingyan could afford to lose, but looking at Lu Duo's back, he couldn't understand why no matter what Uncle San wanted, Qingxi or trophy, it seemed that he could easily get it? He had sent someone to inquire before, but he had never seen Lu Duo lead the team to practice. Why did he suddenly have a group of well-trained team members?

Is his third uncle really a human?

At the end of the game, Gu Mingyan threw the oars hard.

On the other side of the viewing platform, as the results were announced, Mrs. Gu's face turned dark.

"Congratulations to old sister, Ming Yan is both civil and military, and he is the second place." Old Mrs. Xu congratulated with a smile.

Old Mrs. Gu didn't even look at her, and hurriedly left with a tense face.

Old Mrs. Xu was in a good mood. It was not until the white team led by Lu Duo rushed to the square in a high-profile manner that Old Mrs. Xu suddenly came back to her senses.
Chapter completed!
