"I...I...I want to..."
"Do you want to test whether he is really that cruel and careless about you?"
Geng Shuyan interrupted Geng Xingyu mercilessly.
Geng Xingyu lowered his head.
"Then have you given up now?" Geng Shuyan asked in a slow tone.
Geng Xingyu nodded, his eyes red, "I've given up."
"Is it because on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, if I still can't get better, the matter will be over?"
"In just a few days, he may not give up and just take a concubine. It's not like the days can't be changed, at least in a month or two."
Geng Shuyan said calmly, he was actually not sure in his heart. The future of the three of them, mother and son, was uncertain. Even if they escaped this time, what would they do in the future?
Aunt Peng was very calm and let her daughter eat poisonous weeds. Although it was a temporary solution, looking back now, it was the best solution she could think of at that time and even now.
Geng Cheng was her husband, Geng Xingyu's father, and the god of her second wife. They couldn't resist his decision without extraordinary means.
"Don't worry. From now on, he will either let Sister Yu fend for herself in this yard, but as long as Brother Ni is here, we won't starve to death, or send Sister Yu to Zhuangzi. Then I will I will definitely accompany you, and I will ask your uncle to help find a marriage. Even if you marry into a wealthy family, if you give Sister Yu more money, you can live a peaceful life. Brother Yi, you have to work hard in your studies. As long as you succeed in the future and Sister Yu has someone to rely on, the rest of your life will not be too bad. No matter what happens in the future, as long as you don't marry into the Liu family's sinkhole, there are countless possibilities."
Geng Shuyan nodded heavily, "I listen to my aunt. Fourth sister, you must also listen to your aunt."
In this world, only my aunt truly considers their siblings.
Geng Xingyu nodded with red eyes.
The next day is the Dragon Boat Festival in the 14th year of Shengning in Daning.
Early in the morning, Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen got on the carriage and drove to the Luxun River.
"If you don't go home for dinner at noon, forget it. You have to come back in the evening." Before leaving, Mrs. Ruan explained.
Geng Xingshuang nodded repeatedly.
On this day, not only Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen's sisters went out to watch the dragon boat race, but also An Ping, his wife and Geng Cheng.
Although the Luxun River bank did not have a place designated for Anping's residence, Geng Xun had several old friends of his own, and his wife Xia also had her own old sisters. The couple went to use the awnings of different families.
As for Geng Cheng, he was the only official in the Geng family, so it was naturally impossible for him to miss such a grand scene.
Besides, with Geng Xingyu's current situation, he would definitely not be able to enter Liu's house tomorrow. He would have to explain himself and get Mr. Liu to agree to an extension.
Geng Xingshuang thought they had gone early enough, but by the time they arrived, the Luxun River bank was already noisy.
The twelve dragon boats are evenly arranged and ready to go.
"Sister Shuang, Sister Chen, come here quickly!"
Zhu Yan was already in the pergola. When she saw Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen, she quickly waved and called.
"Why are you here so early? Are the princess and the young lady here too?"
Geng Xingshuang said, looking into the pergola. Although it was just a temporary pergola, the layout inside was not simple.
There are not only tables, chairs and benches, but also tea and snacks. There is even a room in the back that can be used as a temporary changing room.
"Grandma and my mother haven't come yet. My second sister and I came here first. Come in and sit down. By the way, have you had breakfast? I just asked Xiaofeng to buy all the delicious breakfast food nearby. "
As Zhu Yan said, Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen had followed her into the pergola.
Except for a few servants, Zhu Ni was the only one sitting there.
"Congratulations to the second girl!"
Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen said hello.
Zhu Ni glanced at them, nodded, took the tea cup in front of her, and took a sip.
Seeing her pretentious look, Zhu Yan wanted to curse, but Geng Xingshuang shook her head.
Zhu Ni's appearance was indeed uncomfortable, but she and Geng Xingchen didn't care. After all, they didn't want to have anything to do with her.
Zhu Yan also felt that even if she wanted to say Zhu Ni, she couldn't do it in front of her friends, otherwise both parties would lose face, and she didn't know what mindless and unpleasant things her cousin would say.
As time goes by, more and more people are watching the dragon boat race. Almost everyone in the surrounding pavilions is occupied. Looking back and forth, there are the least people in their pavilion. After all, there are a lot of people in those houses, even in my own family. , as well as everyone's relatives and friends, and finally the servants of those families with a particularly large number of people had to stand outside the pergola until the master called them in.
Jiang Xuefu and Xu Lianyang came here together.
"Xue Fu picked me up."
Xu Lianyang smiled and said that when we got here from Jiang's house, we happened to pass through Chaoxing Street.
"Why haven't you started yet? It's too hot!"
Zhu Ni suddenly stood up, walked through the people who were talking, and walked outside the pergola to see the scene in the river.
Zhu Yan gritted her teeth. Although she was outside, she couldn't help it.
"Second sister, if you feel hot, you can go back to the house. It's cooler in the house."
Zhu Ni turned her head, and for a moment, there were tears in her eyes, looking aggrieved.
"Sister, I just..."
Zhu Yan was bored when she looked like this. Could it be that she didn't know what she looked like at all, so she just imitated her uncle's cousin. But after all, she grew up with such a delicate and weak appearance, and she fell behind a little from time to time. Tears can have some effect.
Of course, Zhu Yan realizes that no matter what she looks like, she will hate it as long as he looks like this in front of her.
Zhu Yan waved her hands impatiently, and just as she was about to say something, she heard waves of "Long Live" coming from the royal tent not far away.
"It's the Emperor. The Emperor is here?"
Zhu Yan was surprised. She knew that the ladies in the palace were going out to watch the game, but she didn't expect that the emperor also liked to join in the fun.
"The emperor is here, it should start soon."
Indeed, as Emperor Shengning raised his arms and drums sounded, the twelve dragon boats rushed out of the starting point like twelve arrows off the string.
The location of the pergola of Zhenguo Gongfu is very good. Although there is a section of water in the middle that cannot be seen, the established route of the dragon boat requires turning around, so the starting point and end point can be seen.
The starting point and end point can be seen most clearly from the location of the Royal Pergola. There are only a few royal palaces between the Zhenguo Palace and the Royal Pergola. This shows the status of the Zhenguo Palace in the Daning Dynasty.
As the crowd cheered and cheered, Geng Xingshuang and others were also excited to watch.
