Chapter 240 (1/2)

After the dragon boat team has assembled, they will wait for the drum beating to start the race. There are those who set up gambling to yell.

In order to boost the fun, everyone will more or less place a few bets, and the emperor is no exception.

”Sister Yao Yao, who are we going to bet on?” Asked Arun.

Ye Jiayao's mouth bent, staring at the figure, said with a smile: ”that still need to say?”

Originally, she was optimistic about the other two teams, prepared to bet on a little bit, but now the situation has changed. Her husband has to support the competition anyway. She is happy to win and lose.

”Song Qi, you go to deposit a thousand Liang silver, the team of shiziye.”

Song Qi laughs ha ha: ”get Le, small this go.”

”Wait, I'll bet five hundred taels.” Ruan also took out the silver ticket and gave it to Song Qi.

Because Chunyu's participation added a lot of fun to the dragon boat race.

With the sound of a drum, more than a dozen dragon boats shot out like sharp arrows. The people on both sides of the Strait cheered, especially those who had made bets. They were eager to go and row.

Ruan grabbed ye Jiayao's hand nervously: ”sister Yao Yao, where is brother Chunyu? Why can't I see? ”

Ye Jiayao is more nervous than she is. Her hands are full of sweat!

”Don't stare at the front, they are in the fifth...”

”Ah? It's only five! ” Arun was a little disappointed.

”Don't worry. It's only now. The key is to see the future.” Ye Jiayao said that's what he said, but he didn't know the bottom of his heart. He had a strong hand like a forest and was biting very tightly!

”Fourth, Fourth...” Arun began to grumble excitedly.

The seven eyes in the back of Song Dynasty all want to stare at the bleeding. They are all masters here. They dare not shout, otherwise he would have jumped up.

After half of the race, Chunyu's dragon boat is still in the fourth place, which is a long way from the first place. However, ye Jiayao found that Chunyu's rowing speed is not very fast, but every stroke is very powerful, the movement is neat and uniform, the rhythm is very good, and it should have stamina.

Sure enough, as the rhythm of the drum beat changed, they began to accelerate and quickly surpassed the third place.

The ladies, who had been holding their airs to keep their demeanor, began to get excited. They did not know who first called out, and then cheered one after another.

In the end, Chunyu's Dragon Boat Team and the champion of the previous year almost reached the finish line at the same time.

Er In this era, there is no precise timer, no high-definition lens capture, playback, with the naked eye, it is really difficult to find out who arrived first. Perhaps, the referee standing at the end knows, but Chunyu's dragon boat team represents the royal family. Who dares not judge the Royal team to lose? As a result, Jinling dragon boat race for the first time in the history of juxtaposition first. Double yellow eggs were laid.

As soon as Chunyu came back, he went directly to the fifth floor to receive the reward.

However, in this way, the bookmakers who set up gambling were in bad luck and lost a lot of money.

Chunyu came downstairs with the reward, smiling all over the way. Someone gave him a thumbs up and praised him all the way. He finally got to ye Jiayao's side.

Xia Chunyu winked at her with pride: ”how about it? Are there any wrong bets? ”

Ye Jiayao raised the two thousand taels of silver in her hand: ”with your blessing, I made a small profit of 1000 Liang.”

Ah Ruan said with a smile, ”I also made 500 taels.”

Ye Jiayao glared at him: ”you can be tight to hide, not a word.”

Xia Chun touched his nose and said innocently, ”I don't want to give you a surprise.”

This is a public place, and there are other dignitaries and ladies here. Ye Jiayao is not good at teasing him. He can only bear it first.

The emperor has begun to drive back to the palace.

”Are you going? The emperor has a fight Ye Jiayao urged him.

Xia Chun said with a smile, ”the emperor said, for the sake of my outstanding performance, how about giving me a half day off? Where to go with you? ”

Ye Jiayao looks at ah Ruan: ”ah Ruan, where do you want to play?”

Ah Ruan said with a smile: ”you go! I'm not in the way

, ”PAH, what's going on is not a bad thing. Why don't we go around Town God's Temple?” Ye Jiayao suggested.

”Town God's Temple, I have long ago stroll, people crowded, not much meaning, or you go, tomorrow I will move to the palace to live, and some things have to tidy up.” Ruan makes excuses and refuses. Xiaojing has taken her around Jinling City. Wherever she goes, she will think of Xiaojing, which makes her feel sad. It's better to stay at home.
