Views:

"Although my elder brother didn't work in the court, he inherited the title and received a monthly salary, so he can be regarded as an official of the court. In the past, during the Dragon Boat Festival, there were seats in front of us. Why is there no seat this year?" Murong Xue raised his eyebrows. Looking at Song Qingyan, a dark light flickered in her cold eyes.

"The number of officials in the court is increasing year by year, but the seats for watching the race are almost fixed and cannot be increased too much. In order to allow the officials and their families to watch the dragon boat race, those officials with vain positions will naturally It was removed!"

Song Qingyan said with a smile, her eyes were full of gloating: Murong Ye is just a dude who can't get a job, how can he be qualified to sit on an equal footing with these high-ranking officials and nobles, it's already very cheap for him to be eliminated now.

"Really?" Murong Xue squinted at Song Qingyan, and said word by word: "Cousin Qingyan is just a boudoir daughter, how can she know so clearly about the court affairs?"

"Because the person in charge of hosting this dragon boat race is my cousin!" Song Qingyan raised her chin, her eyes and brows were full of pride.

Murong Xue looked up, and saw standing on the high platform, commanding the servant girl, the servant was busy going back and forth, it was Du Shi's natal nephew Du Yi...

"My cousin told me personally that you and Murong Ye have no more seats, so you should stop going there to humiliate yourself, and go directly to the high platform in the southeast to watch the game..." Song Qingyan said arrogantly, her eyes full of tears. It is contempt.

The stand in the southeast is very small, the location is far away, and the view is not good. Standing there to watch the dragon boat race is no different from not watching it.

"Others undertake the dragon boat race, and our brothers and sisters all have seats. Once Du Yi undertakes, our seats will be gone. Could it be public revenge..."

The muttering of the old god Murongxue was not too loud, just enough for the nearby people to hear. Everyone looked over and looked at them in various ways. Seeing Song Qingyan's face was gloomy, and she blurted out: "What public revenge? You Brother, that dandy, is ignorant all day long, and has never done a single thing in the court, my second uncle is an official who has done his best for the country, should you give up your brother's seat to him, shouldn't he?"

Murong Xue was taken aback, then suddenly remembered that Murong Jian and his wife had left the capital for ten years, and there were no seats for them in the stands. If they wanted to watch the dragon boat race, they had to crowd out two people. Instead, he took her and Murong Ye's seats!

"So it's not a public revenge, but a dove occupying a magpie's nest!"

"Murong Xue, please pay attention to your wording!" Song Qingyan said angrily, "What doves occupy the magpie's nest? Those two seats should have belonged to my second uncle and aunt."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Murong Jian is calm and stable, and he has worked hard. My brother, who is still young, has a simple mind. He was tricked into fighting cocks and gambling money, and almost entered a brothel. If he is qualified to compete with Lord Murong Jian, those two seats should belong to Lord Murong Jian..." Murong Xue said casually, with an imperceptible sarcasm flashing in her eyes.

Everyone looked at her with sympathy, her parents died, no one cared for her, her family property was coveted, her brother was adopted and abandoned, and she herself was weak and sick. She finally managed to come to Tianshui Lake to watch the dragon boat race, and her seat was snatched away. , what a pity...

Song Qingyan's attention was all on Murong Xue, and she didn't pay attention to everyone's reactions. Seeing that she had 'compromised', the corner of her mouth curled into a smug smile: "You're smart!"

Everyone looked at her with contempt, ridicule, and disdain. It was obvious that they had robbed her, but they said it as if she owed them. How shameless!

"Qingyan, what nonsense are you talking about? Ye'er, Xue'er's seat is well arranged, how can I give it to your second uncle!" Du Yi strode over, Qingjun's face was gloomy and terrifying!

They forcibly robbed Murong Xue's seat because they wanted Murong Jian to replace Murong Ye quietly, give Murong Xue a little prestige, and just trick her away. Song Qingyan is good, everyone who publicizes the matter knows it, civil and military officials They soon realized that they joined forces to bully Murong Ye and Murong Xue, orphans without father and mother, how stupid they are!

Song Qingyan was startled: "That's not right, Uncle Biao, you just said clearly..."

"Shut up, I know what I said, I know it in my heart, I don't need you to remind me!" Du Yi interrupted her sharply, and glared at her fiercely: It's good that they know this kind of thing in their hearts, how can they shout around? She messed up a good plan, how stupid it is!

Song Qingyan was reprimanded one after another, sad and sad, her beautiful eyes filled with tears instantly...

Du Yi turned a blind eye, looked sideways at Murong Xue, and said with a smile: "Xue'er, your seat is right in front, follow cousin..."

"No need, we brothers and sisters have never done anything for Qingyan, and we can't compare to Master Murong Jian's hard work. It's better to let Master Murong sit there. He has enjoyed watching the dragon boat, and he can do his best for the country and the people." Well..." Murong Xue said with a smile, her cold words were ridiculed.

"Xue'er was joking..." Du Yi smiled unnaturally, and said in his heart: Murong Ye and Murong Xue's seats can be vacant, or other people can sit, but Murong Jian and his wife can't be seated, otherwise, they will be seated. They were accused of snatching the seats of their brothers and sisters!

The matter of Murong Jian quietly replacing Murong Ye failed again, and it was all due to Song Qingyan, a simple-minded idiot who did not accomplish enough and failed!

"Xue'er is not sitting here, where are you going to watch the dragon boat race?"

Murong Xue looked around, the high platform in the southeast was too far away, standing there, she couldn't see anything, so she would not go: "Where is the painting boat in Duke Cheng's mansion? Murong Feng said I can go to his house watch the dragon boat race on the painted boat!"

Du Yi didn't want her to enter the high platform, she was too lazy to stay longer.

Du Yi was taken aback. During the dragon boat races on the Dragon Boat Festival, private boats were not allowed to go down the lake, but there were a few exceptions. The boats of the Duke Cheng's Mansion were one of them. Status and ability!

Mu Liufeng is the son of Cheng Guogong, the future Cheng Guogong, who comes and goes without a trace, and they usually never see each other. When did Murong Xue get so close to him

A white skirt floated by the corner of his eyes, Du Yi suddenly came back to his senses, and saw Ouyang Shaochen walking in front of Murong Xue, his handsome face was slightly gloomy, he grabbed Murong Xue's wrist, and pulled her to walk out quickly.

Murong Xue looked at him puzzled: "Where are you taking me?"

"A place where you can watch the dragon boat race!" Ouyang Shaochen replied without turning his head, a glint of light flashed in his dark eyes.

Murong Xue blinked her eyes: "Is it the painting boat of Duke Cheng's mansion?"
