Chapter 56 Xianxian_1

In Shengjing on the fifth day of the fifth month, under Luoyue Bridge, dragon boats competed in racing, and at midday people loved to bathe in orchid-infused water, believing that "a mouthful of noontime water is better than three years of the finest tonics."

Ah Cheng, carrying a wooden bucket, left the house, planning to draw some well water for tea making at noon. Yin Zheng sat inside making zongzi with dates, while Du Changqing leaned against a long chair, weakly reminding Lu Tong who sat in front of the medicine cabinet, "Doctor Lu, we haven't had any income for a month."
