Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11570

Yang Ruoqing was still trying to recall Madam Zuo's reminder, and thinking about the Dragon Boat Festival flood in Huguang County that year...

Oh my God, this memory was really not stored in her brain. She only vaguely remembered coming here to watch the Dragon Boat Race during the Dragon Boat Festival in Huguang County twice.

There were only a few simple scenes that flashed by, and as for her cousin Junlan who appeared in the scene, she really had a blackout.

However, this memory was very vague to Yang Ruoqing, and it was even blurred. But for Jun Lan, who was sitting opposite her, it was very vivid in her memory.

That year, she had not yet got married and was still waiting to be married.

She has several aunts, and there are also many uncles, aunts and other relatives on her mother's side.

So she has a lot of cousins, probably almost ten on both her paternal and maternal sides!

But among so many people, from childhood to adulthood, she only has a special liking for her cousin Jun Mo from the Zuo family.

She wanted to marry her cousin, and her aunt, Mrs. Zuo, seemed to want to strengthen the relationship between the two families, so when she was very young, her parents liked to send her to her aunt's house. Her aunt also liked her very much. The name Junlan was given by her aunt, which created many opportunities for her to interact with her cousin.

It was a pity that she was seven years younger than her cousin, and they could never play together and had no common topics.

Her cousin took good care of her, but she knew that that kind of care had nothing to do with love between men and women. It was based on the care between relatives, out of respect for the elders of both families, and it was the care and support of the strong for the weak...

My cousin has never had a woman he likes, and he has never had any romantic affairs outside. He never even glances at the maids at home.

Everyone was wondering if the cousin was interested in Junlan? Was the reason he hadn't proposed marriage to her until she was 20 years old waiting for Junlan to reach the age of marriage?

But Junlan knew that it was not the case. But when her cousin treated her well as always, and brought her more and more things that girls liked when he came back from business, her mind started to become active again, and she couldn't help but have wild thoughts...

Especially when the relatives and elders of the two families secretly observed and concluded that the cousin was most likely waiting for her...

She became more and more obsessed and intoxicated...

The Dragon Boat Festival that year was also the day she came of age, and she was looking forward to this day.

Because there has been a custom in Huguang County since ancient times, that is, young adult men and women can find their ideal partner through the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Although marriage has been decided by parents and matchmakers since ancient times, the Dragon Boat Festival is different. An exception can be made to give a chance to men and women who fall in love at first sight or who are in love with each other but whose parents do not agree.

As long as a man wins the top three places in the dragon boat race, he can personally deliver the prize - a lively red carp - to the girl watching the race on the shore.

Once the girl accepted the red carp he gave her, she would have to accept the marriage even if the parents of both families disagreed.

Because this is the custom and the rule, the most respected people in the area all follow it.

That year she came of age and was able to go to a special viewing platform to watch her cousins ​​and their friends rowing dragon boats.

My cousin participated in the dragon boat races in the past few years and won first place every year.

But he always gave the red carp to the housekeeper, asking him to take it home and braise or steam it for lunch.

She felt that her cousin would change his approach to the Dragon Boat Race this year. If he was really as special to her as she felt, and was really waiting for her as the elders had analyzed, then she, who had just come of age this year, would receive a red carp from her cousin...
