Chapter 347: Chapter 325, Show of Power _1

By the time Daohua had finished washing up and getting dressed, it was already four quarters past the hour of Chen (8:00 AM).

Daohua hastily ate a few bites of food, then pulled Dong Yuanyao and the Li siblings out the door.

“My dear ladies, you’ve finally come out!”

No sooner had Daohua and the others stepped through the gate than Yan Wenkai dismounted from his horse and quickly walked over to Daohua’s side. “What took you so long?”

“Got up late.” Daohua briefly explained and then looked around. She saw that her three brothers and big brother Dong were all there, but Xiao Yeyang was nowhere to be seen.

Dohua’s brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, but she quickly let it go and apologized with an embarrassed smile, “I had no idea you were also coming. I’m so sorry to have kept everyone waiting.”

Dong Yuanxuan walked over leading a horse, smiling, “It’s alright, we’ve only just arrived…”

“Just arrived?”

Yan Wenkai looked incredulously at Dong Yuanxuan. “We’ve been waiting for nearly half an hour, and you say just arrived? Had I known we’d be waiting this long outside, I would’ve gone into the Governor’s Office.”

At this statement, everyone was at a loss for words looking at Yan Wenkai.

Yan Wenkai felt uncomfortable under everyone’s gaze, especially his sister’s, who was glaring at him with puffed cheeks. Realizing belatedly, he stepped back while sheepishly smiling, “Since everyone is out, let’s set off then.”

Dong Yuanyao covered her mouth with one hand and pulled Daohua toward the carriage with the other.

“Hahaha~”

Once on the carriage, Dong Yuanyao couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing, “Yiyi, I’ve come to realize, your fourth brother truly is a treasure, so hilarious.”

Li Zixuan and Li Zixin were also chuckling softly.

Daohua glanced at Dong Yuanyao. “A treasure? I’ll give him to you, do you want him?”

Dong Yuanyao’s smile disappeared instantly, and she shook her head decisively. “No thanks, I can’t entertain that. You keep him.”

The group headed straight for Wangyangkou.

By the time they arrived, Wangyangkou was already packed with people, and the cheers were ear-splitting.

The Dragon Boat Race had already begun, and the onlookers were enthusiastically cheering on their favorite teams.

“This many people?!”

Looking at the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd, Daohua was a bit hesitant. She liked a lively scene but was not fond of overly crowded places.

After getting out of the carriage, Daohua stood on tiptoe and looked around, seeing nothing but heads everywhere.

“Let’s go!”

Dong Yuanyao pulled Daohua along, and under Dong Yuanxuan’s lead, they headed straight for the sparsely populated stands.

The observation stands were constructed along the riverbank; one every few meters. Each stand was roughly twenty or thirty square meters, topped with tables and chairs. The closer to the competition point, the more in demand the stands were.

The stands were controlled by the Governor’s Office and rented out at high prices to the nobility who came to watch the Dragon Boat Race. Every Dragon Boat Festival, the Governor’s Office would make a handsome profit.

After weaving through the crowd for a bit, Daohua and her party arrived at a relatively forward observation stand.

At that moment, nearly all the stands to their lower left were occupied, but there were still quite a few vacant spots to the upper right.

Seeing Daohua eyeing those empty stands, Dong Yuanyao snickered, “Big shots always have to be the last to arrive.”

Daohua smiled and nodded, “Aren’t my uncle and aunt coming to watch the Dragon Boat Race?”

Dong Yuanyao tilted her head towards Daohua and whispered, “Counting this year, my father has been the Provincial Governor of Zhongzhou for five years, never showing off in public before.” _{frёeωebɳovel.com}
