Chapter 246: Dragon Boat Festival
The fifth day of the fifth month of May is the lively Dragon Boat Festival. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the most anticipated day after Shangyuan, today, regardless of men, women and children, side by side, all rushed to Jinmingchi to play.
Jinming Pond is a royal garden, which is open every spring to show that the Son of Heaven loves the people like a son.
For ordinary people, Jinmingchi is like a fairyland, and no matter what day it is in this spring, it is not as good as today.
The sparkling waves, reflecting the island palace standing in the water, the dragon boat in the pond is raised, the boats are clustered, the bridge flies thousands of feet long rainbow, the willow silk blows the water, and the shore is the attic towering, surrounded by trees, the colorful shed gathers, and the tricks surge......
Different from the Bianhe River, which is always loaded with grain and straw boats and chaotic rivers, every spring and summer, Jinmingchi will use such a clear spring wave to show the people her most beautiful appearance.
Fu Nianjun got out of the car, looking at the bustling and lively in front of him, and was a little stunned for a while.
Fang Zhu and Yilan were both very excited, pointing to the colorful boats filled with big flags and leopards, barbarian swords and gods and ghosts in the distance, and they were so excited that they couldn't be more excited.
Here, not only them, but almost every common person is so jubilant, not for the beautiful scenery and food, but because of the earth-shaking sound and the new packaging splendor, their son of heaven will come with the spear and sword embroidered flag......
This is different from the distant view on the gate of Xuande Tower during the Shangyuan Festival, and it is the emperor who really brought hundreds of officials and concubines to watch the "water war". Originally, the purpose of the excavation of Jinming Pond was to do this, and the Shenwei Tiger Wing Navy had to teach the boat here every year.
During the Taizu period, the world was stable, and Taizu's move not only showed the national strength, but also deterred the former ministers and scholars who refused to settle down, but after two generations of emperors, such as today's peace, this Jinmingchi water watching battle has truly become "fun with the people".
This is also one of the few things that Emperor Guangzong Daowu has been praised by later generations, as an emperor, his kindness and indulgence to the common people can really be said to be rare in ancient times.
Therefore, today's water war is more like a performance for the entertainment of the people, and it does not have such a strong atmosphere of conquest, but is becoming more and more close to a trick.
"Lady, Xianggong and San Langjun are both driving today, I don't know if we can see them. Fang Zhu craned her neck, trying hard to see if there was a familiar figure in the distant pavilion.
"You can see how you can see it here. Yilan said, "Wait for us for a while, we will definitely see ......"
She said so firmly, but Fu Nianjun's face stiffened.
She appeared here, not just to go out to see the excitement, it was Zhou Yubai who said that he wanted to meet her today.
She found that he was more and more fond of meeting in crowded places.
Although her current situation is quite dangerous, she may be chased and killed on Fantai that day, but in such a crowd, is it easy for people to find out her identity?
She thought there was something strange about his arguments.
And Fangzhu and Yilan became more and more accustomed to his invitation, and Fangzhu also asked her very naturally in the carriage if the king of Shouchun would book a small pavilion with the best view of the water battle for them.
Jinming Pond is a royal garden, naturally close to the royal people and officials first, but the Great Song Dynasty has always been civilized, and the common people also have the needs of the common people, so the nearby restaurant and tea shop, such as the famous Fan Lou, as long as you are willing to spend money and have a doorway, you can naturally not squeeze on the edge of the pool and lie on the tree with the smelly crowd with everyone, and you can call a pot of tea to watch the scenery upstairs.
With the ability of the Fu family, it is naturally no problem to find a good place to book a small pavilion, but today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and even the tea stalls by the river are full.
Lu and Lu Wanrong didn't go out, and Fu Nianjun didn't want to see those people at all.
Suddenly there was a burst of cheers from the shore, and it turned out that the dancing before the boat formation competition began.
Tokyo's Tokusugung two dance scores, "Sea Eye" and "Finish", were performed by the fleet that was about to participate in the "bidding", which was eye-catching and very exciting.
"Stand far away, don't get squeezed out. ”
Fu Nianjun didn't forget to tell Fangzhu and Yilan, who kept moving forward, fortunately, there were big bulls and tigers and others around to escort them, and no one would come to squeeze them.
After the end of the dance, it will begin to formally compete for the ferry, which has always been one of the activities that the people like to watch the most, there is a long pole at the end of the line, the rod is wrapped in brocade and hung with colors, called the championship, the boat of the race is the first to win the bid, raise the drum, divide the left and right wings, the ark is fast, often make the waves splash on the people crowded at the bridge, but the people never dodge, but they all love to squeeze to the bridge, as if this is also a form of participation, and even in previous years, there are people who have been squeezed into the pool from here.
Fu Nianjun felt that Fangzhu and Yilan, the two little girls, wanted to taste that taste.
"Lady, do you want to drink sugar water?"
Everyone squeezed to the edge of the pool, Fu Nianjun was also a little relieved, and Fangzhu saw a vendor selling sugar water under the shade of the willow tree, and couldn't help but propose.
In fact, she herself called for a dry mouth.
Yilan disagreed: "I have my own tea here, how can I let the lady drink those things that are not clean, if the lady is really thirsty, let's find a cleaner tea shop." ”
Fu Nianjun smiled under the hat and said to Fangzhu: "Go buy a few more bowls, and give everyone a fresh taste." ”
The big bulls and tigers are probably all thirsty.
Fangzhu immediately passed happily.
Fu Nianjun stood under the tree on the other side, and looked at the hawker stall opposite, a delicate little lady, with a seductive figure, followed by a timid little girl, her face was slightly dark, she did not wear a hat, but she had a healthy and upward vitality.
You Jin Mingchi, only a few outliers like Fu Nianjun will wear a hat, and there are many little ladies who cast strange glances along the way, probably secretly saying a word of hypocrisy in their hearts.
The little lady on the other side said to the syrup seller, "Pour a bell of sweet syrup." ”
The vendor eagerly filled a copper cup with sugar water, and Fangzhu was one step behind the others, so he could only wait aside.
But who knew that the little lady took a sip, but suddenly threw the copper cup in her hand to the ground, and reprimanded loudly: "Okay! You sugar water seller came to plot against me, do you know who I am?"
Not only the hawkers, but even the Fangzhu who was watching the excitement was stunned.
The peddler was at a loss for a while, but Fu Nianjun heard the little lady start to count loudly: "I am the daughter of Zhou Dalang in Caomen, my nickname is Shengxian Little Lady, I am eighteen years old this year, and I have never eaten other people's plots......"
