128 Praises

Every team spared no efforts for the race this year, and the civilians were all very excited, cheering along the banks.

With the order put forward, the sound of drums was violently falling like raindrops, and the dragon boats that were ready to go like an arrow from the string, rushed forward across the water. The civilians on both sides were cheering in excitement, loudly.

The boats were speeding, chasing one after another. It was a great scene. Qiao Xuan was watching with a lot of concentration, and she almost clapped in excitement, but for the place she was seated at.

Qiao Wei rolled her eyes as she saw how Qiao Xuan got excited about the show. “How narrow-minded and stupid!”

Qiao Xuan blinked her eyes and turned to Qiao Xuan. “What are you talking about, sister?”

Qiao Wei sneered and said, “I am speaking highly of you!”

Qiao Xuan got excited and replied cheerfully, as her clear-looking eyes sparkled. “Thank you, sister, I think highly of you too!”

Qiao Wei got furious. “You!”

“Just drop it!” Madame Qiao turned to Qiao Xuan, and gave her a warning suggestion. “Just watch the show and don’t talk.”

“Okay, Mother!” Qiao Xuan smiled, looking obedient.

Madame Qiao sneered inwardly. She somehow felt that she had been making no efforts to tease this woman.

This bitch seemed to get so increasingly annoyed after she got married.

She used to be so obedient in the past.

Was she thinking that she was a broken jar and she did not need to care about anything?

Qiao Wei was even more furious. She was always the dominator among the three sisters, and could always do whatever she wanted! Now she had been set up by Qiao Xuan, who might have had no idea that she had set her up. But she was still really furious. She found that she had been tricked.

The race went on.

Although this section of the river was wide, it was obviously impossible for a total of 26 dragon boat teams to line up all at once. Therefore, the preliminary competition was divided four times over.

Each time the first place would be rematched to compete for the top spot.

The whole process of the game was very lively and intense. When everyone watched the game, they even wrote poems to add to the fun.

County Magistrate Qiao learned that Xie Jingrong was very talented, and that he loved to write poetry too. So he exchanged a few words with Xie Jingrong and then gave some regards to County Officer Zhang.

County Officer Zhang said loudly, ” Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, which coincides with this lively event. We can’t have fun without poetry? What about we all make some poems for the beautiful scenery around here?”

County Magistrate Qiao laughed and added. “Yes, yes, County Officer Zhang is right! Dean Meng, don’t be restrained, just make some poems, so we can let Young Master Xie make some remarks about them. That would be such a great honor.”

Xie Jingrong felt helpless, but he was a man with honor. Instead of countering him, he lowered his head slightly and said, “Thank you for the compliment, Officer Qiao!”

Yuezheng Xiao wasn’t so happy. He rolled his eyes and said, “Poetry is too complicated, what about making couplets, and it adds much more money!”

County Magistrate Qiao was startled, but smiled when Xie Jingrong approved of this idea by default. “Good idea, good idea! Young Master Yuezheng is right! Let’s make couplets!”

No one knew where Young Master Xie was from, but seeing how County Magistrate Qiao treated him, they all believed that he was a big figure.
