"Tom... Tong... Tong... ”

"Woo... Woo... Woo... ”

In the Jinming Pond in Songjing City, after the water swing, water puppet, swimming and other performances are over, it is the most exciting activity, "Jinming Pond Water Opera Competition".

At this time, the colorful flags in the Jinming Pond are waving, overwhelming, the golden drum is beating, the sound is shaking the sky, the rhino horn is blowing, low and far away.

A big red flag fell, and the four dragon boats rushed out like arrows from the string, chopping through the waves, and heading straight for the flag in the distance.

Each of the four dragon boats has a large flag erected on the bow, and the flag is embroidered with four kinds of sacred beasts, namely "Youlin", "Yellow Lion", "Bai Ze", and "Red Bear", with teeth and claws, fluttering in the wind.

The four divine beasts represent the four teams, namely the black, yellow, white, and red teams, black represents the (diàn) front division, yellow represents the guard horse military division, white represents the guard infantry division, and red represents the imperial city division.

Because the dragon boat race is held in the palace, the four teams of the dragon boat race are selected by the Sanya and the Imperial City Division to participate in the competition.

In addition to a flag at the bow and a soldier shouting a trumpet, each of the four dragon boats also has a golden drum at the stern, behind each of the four golden drums stands a shirtless drummer with a black, yellow, white and red turban, stretching his arms and beating the golden drum vigorously.

The tom sound of beating the golden drum resounded throughout the Jinming Pond, and the drum sound was the command, and it was also the rhythm of the march, and the oarsmen on the four dragon boats were all paddling rhythmically according to the sound of the drum.

The drums beat and the oars hit the water continuously, making crackling sounds one after another, raising one wave after another, splashing and drenching the shēn of the dragon boat race.

The four dragon boats scrambled towards the flag, and their speeds were almost comparable, and at most they were half a boat (shēn).

On the dragon boat, each soldier looked solemn, rowing the oars desperately, striving to be the first, not giving in to each other, and the four-color dragon boat was also alternately leading, sailing towards the flag. On both sides of Jinming Pond, the people of Shishu were thunderous and cheered loudly, cheering for the dragon boats they supported.

The Song people's gambling style is prevalent, of course, they have also gambled on the dragon boat race, and on such a gambling program every year, some people have even invested in the gambling of the dragon boat race with the funds of the whole family.

As a result, the gamblers who had made a lot of money either looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, or hung their heads, and countless Shishu people still ran with the dragon boat, eager to jump on the boat themselves and help paddle.

The scene is a good and noisy scene, a peaceful and prosperous world, a peaceful and peaceful (qíng) scene.

"Well, Bai Ze is bound to win!" Li Sanjian looked at the fierce scene of the dragon boat race and said.

Li Sanjian has been paying attention for a long time, although Bai Ze Dragon Boat is currently second for the time being, but its paddlers are very rhythmic, it is unusually neat and uniform, and it seems that they are not holding their strength, they are preserving their strength, and they will make the last fight in the end, so Li Sanjian judged that Bai Ze Dragon Boat may win in the end.

"Not necessarily, right? I think it's Youlin in front now? Although Cai Rongxue's maid Xiaoqin has a share of master and servant, seeing that Li Sanjian is amiable, she does not look like a fierce official master, and at the same time she is her own aunt, so she also talked and laughed with Li Sanjian and others at this time.

The most important thing is that Xiaoqin is very likely to marry with Cai Rongxue, and maybe it will be a girl in the room...

"I think it's the Yellow Lion who wins!" Cai Rongxue also spoke.

"Eighth sister, why is this?" Xiaoqin asked suspiciously, "The yellow lion is at the back." ”

"Latecomers prevail." Cai Rongxue said with a smile.

"Well, that makes sense, just like you." Li Sanjian glanced at Cai Rongxue and said with a smile.

Cai Rongxue blushed when she heard this, and secretly smacked Li Sanjian.

Li Sanjian means Li Qingzhao and Cai Rongxue, Cai Rongxue is the latecomer.

However, although Li Sanjian said so, he didn't think so in his heart.

Save your strength, but make the final blow, but you can't be too far away, too far away from each other, not to mention the effort when you sprint at the end, morale will be greatly affected.

At present, the yellow lion is more than two boats (shēn) away from each other, so it is difficult to catch up. And like Bai Ze, who seems to be intentional and unintentionally only half a boat (shēn) behind Youlin, it seems to be unusually easy, so it is difficult to say which will win or lose in the end.

"Sister, what do you say?" Cai Rongxue saw that Wang Wen didn't speak, so she asked.

"Do I have any other options?" Wang Wen smiled: "I think the red bear will win in the end." ”

Well, at this time, the four of them had completely different opinions, and each of them chose a team...

"It's better ... As... How about we do a blog? Seeing this, Cai Rongxue's eyes rolled, and she pursed her lips and chuckled.

"Huh? You... A woman ... Want to gamble too? Li Sanjian asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Why can't women gamble? Won't you come? Cai Rongxue said with a smile.

Song gambling style is prevalent, after tea and dinner, when bored, you have to gamble, not only the common people, but also the rich and noble, the upper class, the rich and noble families get together to gamble, it is not a new thing.

"Come on, why not?" Li Sanjian still can't imagine that Cai Rongxue, such an elegant woman in gambling, but Li Sanjian didn't want to spoil the fun, so he took out ten copper plates from his arms, patted Cai Rongxue's hand and said, Li Sanjian also pinched Cai Rongxue's little hand and took advantage of it...

Why is this man like this? It's almost married.,There's nothing to do to take advantage of yourself.。。。 Cai Rongxue secretly said in her heart, as if she had never seen a woman, she was completely an anxious person...

Seeing this, Wang Wen and Xiaoqin also enthusiastically bet, and took out copper plates to participate in the betting.

When the four of them gambled, the dragon boat race had reached the final sprint stage, and the drumbeat on the dragon boat was also faster than the other, urging the paddler to paddle desperately.

The four dragon boats were also like four sharp arrows, rushing towards the flag. The people on both sides of the strait who watched the dragon boat race were also thunderous, and the shouts were one after another, deafening (yù) deafening.

As Li Sanjian expected, when it came to the final sprint stage, there was no need for the dragon boats to retain their strength, and they all went all out to win the championship in one fell swoop and grab the flag. And Bai Ze Dragon Boat really came first, overtook Youlin Dragon Boat in one fell swoop, and rushed towards the finish line, but Youlin Dragon Boat fell in third place and was surpassed by the Yellow Lion.

The big man standing on the bow of Bai Ze Dragon Boat snatched the flag, held it high, and laughed, and the other soldiers of Bai Ze Dragon Boat also cheered and laughed loudly.

The drummer of the dragon boat was so angry that he threw his drumstick into the water, frustrated.

You must know that winning the dragon boat championship is not only an unusually rich reward, but it is also possible to be promoted...

"Haha, you're an official, I'm amazing, right?" Li Sanjian snatched the fifty copper plates that Cai Rongxue had just wrapped in a piece of silk cloth, and laughed.

"How did you know that Bai Ze would win?" At this time, the four women asked together.

"Guess." Li Sanjian replied with a grin.

The four girls rolled their eyes at Li Sanjian together.

"Ladies, it's getting late, how about I go back later?" Li Sanjian laughed.

After the dragon boat race is completed, it is time for the imperial court to award rewards, Li Sanjian felt a little bored, so he said.

"Three... Third brother, I'll go back after a while. Wang Wen glanced at Jin Mingchi, who was still making trouble, and said unsatisfied.

"You too?" Li Sanjian saw that Cai Rongxue and Xiaoqin were also unfinished and unwilling, so he asked with a smile.

Cai Rongxue and Xiaoqin nodded together, Cai Rongxue also turned her head and looked at the Guan Po Flutter in the distance with some embarrassment...

It's no wonder that Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, greedy for fun is human nature (xìng), no matter who you are, Cai Rongxue is no exception, she is only about seventeen years old this year, so it is not surprising that she is greedy for fun.

"Okay, I'll go check it out later." Li Sanjian also wanted to see what was going on in the capital, so he said with a smile.

Li Sanjian then secretly stuffed a bag of copper coins he had just won to Xiaoqin.

She is a girl, it is not easy to earn some monthly money, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart, and he has received the first month's salary, and there are really a lot of money.

Li Sanjian's empathy made Xiaoqin glance at Li Sanjian gratefully.

。。。。。。。。

The so-called "Guan Pounce", also known as "Falling Dust", that is, the first to pay the money, close the hundred things on the side, throw money on the spot, and go away to the picking, otherwise it will be in vain.

That is, to small Bo big, to less Bo more, and Guan Baiwu is anything can be taken to gamble, the lucky one wins, the luck back only looks up to the sky and sighs or howls...

In Kaifeng Prefecture, the capital of the Song Dynasty, all kinds of guanfu activities were flooded with folk markets, and peddlers, pawns, or dignitaries used the interests of (jiàn) Yigui as bait to attract people to participate.

Guan Pu activities have several major advantages such as small stakes, low thresholds, and strong entertainment (xìng), and are sought after by all classes of the Song Dynasty, from princes and ministers, and even His Majesty the Emperor or nobles in the palace, to the small people.

During the festive season, festival (rì) travel and consumption were important entertainment activities for the Song people, and Guan Pu was their first choice.

It is not surprising that Cai Rongxue and Xiaoqin, who have lived in the capital for a long time, were attracted by the noisy Guan Pu in the area of Jinmingchi (rè).

The imperial court put three (rì) on the Dragon Boat Festival, which made the streets and alleys of Kaifeng Mansion (rè) abnormal, and the same is true of Jinmingchi, the people of Shishu gathered near Jinmingchi very early, and at the same time set up colorful sheds on both sides of the street and put food, fruits and vegetables, fish (ròu), pearls, heads, clothes, flowers, collars, boots and shoes, and even charcoal and other things, of course, there are also rare treasures as customs objects, but these rare treasures are not something that the small people of Shengdou can afford.

Countless idlers or little ladies shouted loudly, attracting everyone to come and fight in front of their own shops.

The scene is good or not.

Seeing this, Cai Rongxue, Wang Wen, and Xiaoqin left Li Sanjian, and excitedly ran to the front of the flutter to look east and west, and seriously considered which Bo's flutter was ...
