Chapter 196: Official Authority

The Dragon Boat Festival and the summer solstice, the fifth day of the fifth month of May is the Dragon Boat Festival, which is an important festival (rì) in summer.

The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the "Duanwu Festival", "Chongwu Festival", "Calamus Festival" and so on, is a major festival of the year (rì), the Dragon Boat Festival can be attended by old and young masters, women, literati can participate in the festival (rì), the festival atmosphere is particularly strong.

The common people of the folk make zongzi, eat zongzi, write Dragon Boat Festival stickers, hang life-dividing threads, tie Zhu Si to open up soldiers, drink calamus wine, etc., and there are many activities, which are very noisy.

On the fifth day of the fifth month, the imperial court held a dragon boat race in Jinmingchi.

The so-called dragon boat race is also known as "Jinmingchi water play competition", that is, in the Jinming Pond, the flag is inserted in the water close to the pavilion, the viewer is clear at a glance, and then there are two or several boats to beat the drum and march, and the first to get the flag wins.

This year is the first year of Zhao Ji's ascension to the throne, so this year's Dragon Boat Festival has added another festival (rì) activity to the imperial court, that is, to put Guan Pusan (rì) in Jinming Pond.

The so-called Guan Pounce, that is, gambling, first accept the pounce, throw copper coins shall prevail, to small Bo Big, to less Bo more, win the pounce, lose the white pounce capital.

The Song Dynasty is strictly ordered (jìn) to stop gambling, (jìn) to stop gambling, (jìn) folk (yòu) to gather soldiers and people to gamble home, lawsuits are strictly arrested, people have to tell the offender, with prison should be discussed with the evil land, the confession is rewarded, even if it is not observed, there is a judge to discuss the crime.

However, although there were strict orders in the imperial court, the gambling style of the Song Dynasty prevailed, and the gambling law was gradually abolished, and the punishment was relatively light, not enough to punish (jiān), and the offender was very serious, as the so-called law did not blame the public, plus the emperor's relatives, princes and ministers, military generals and soldiers, men and women, old and young, and ordinary people were all involved in the fighting, and even the emperor or in the palace or in the private to participate in the fighting, such as Emperor Song Renzong, so over time, this gambling law was useless, The court turned a blind eye.

What's more, the imperial court will generally release the guan flutter at the time of the major festival (rì), which means that these (rì) children are "legal gambling (rì)"...

Up and down, the officials, soldiers, and ordinary people of Beijing are very many participants.

"How? Is it coming? Is it coming? Li Sanjian, who was wearing a long shirt and a hat, nervously asked Xiao Qin, a lady of Cai Rong Xueti (shēn) who was running out of breath.

At this time, Li Sanjian had already taken office in Kaifeng Mansion, and was the prison magistrate of the right hall of Kaifeng Mansion, but Li Sanjian had just been in office for less than a few hours, and the people in the mansion had not yet known the two, so they encountered the Dragon Boat Festival, so they had three holidays (rì), plus Li Sanjian was about to get married, so there was a marriage leave, and Li Sanjian basically had to take office officially around June.

"Aunt... Uncle... Nun... Master, here, here! Xiaoqin ran out of breath, and she couldn't even finish her words.

On this occasion, Li Sanjian planned to take Wang Wen, who had never seen the prosperity of Beijing, to go around, and at the same time, Li Sanjian planned to call Cai Rongxue out to play together.

At this time, the two have begun to count down to get married (rì), and they can't meet again before marriage, but Li Sanjian is not a formal person, and at the same time, Li Sanjian has something to explain to Cai Rongxue that the fight in the cave house in the province will make everyone's faces look bad.

What Li Sanjian wanted to explain to Cai Rongxue was Wang Wen, so Li Sanjian was more nervous.

"Celery, Celery, where have you been? Wait for me. Li Sanjian, who was hiding on the street corner with Wang Wen, finally saw Cai Rongxue coming over.

Wang Wen became more and more nervous at this time, hiding behind Li Sanjian (shēn), holding on tightly to Li Sanjian's clothes, not daring to show her head.

At this time, it has entered the summer, the weather has gradually become hot (rè), Cai Rongxue wore a Sujuan underwear, revealing the snow white at the neck, and wore a lilac eight-panel skirt underneath, on which there was a "jade ring ribbon", which was used to suppress the skirt, and wore a lilac placket, collar, and narrow sleeves, which were knee-length.

The eye makeup extended to Qin Danfeng, the light eyebrows flew obliquely into the bun, the black hair was gathered into a dragon bun, and a hairpin made of pearl and emerald was pinned to the bun, which looked extremely fresh and elegant.

If Cao Yi comes out of the water, Wu takes the wind!

The decent dress coupled with the beautiful face and graceful posture make the surrounding pedestrians look sideways, and they don't know which way the fairy came to the world. . .

At this time, although Cai Rongxue was anxious, she did not run, but held her hands in front of her (xiōng), walking quickly, and looking slightly sideways at the left and right as she walked.

Li Sanjian hadn't seen Cai Rongxue for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited when he saw it at this time, so he suddenly walked to Cai Rongxue's side and arched his hand and smiled: "Lady, Xiaosheng is so polite." ”

Cai Rongxue was taken aback when she heard this, and when she looked back, she saw Li Sanjian, so she turned her surprise into joy and said, "You... YOU MAN ... YOU MAN ... Scared the slave family to death. ”

Cai Rongxue was completely taken out by Xiao Qin.

The person who was originally going to marry should wait for the marriage (rì) in the pavilion, which is called waiting to be married. Cai Rongxue hadn't gone out for several months, and today (rì) really couldn't stand Xiaoqin's rhetoric, so she planned to come out to watch the dragon boat race, but she didn't expect to run into Li Sanjian.

Hmph, he must have instructed Xiao Qin to come out by himself, Cai Rongxue said secretly in her heart, but at this time, Cai Rongxue felt relieved, if it wasn't for Li Sanjian who came out by herself, then Cai Rongxue would feel embarrassed.

A woman to be married still came out to run around, and was bumped into by her fiancé, what kind of system has it become?

Really, it's not much before you get married, why do you want to come out by yourself? Cai Rongxue said again in her heart.

"Haha, why is Madame so timid?" Li Sanjian laughed.

"Nonsense." Cai Rong Xue Zhuan (shēn) turned his back to Li Sanjian, stomped his feet and said, "Who... Who's your wife? I... I'm going back, huh?

Before the two families got married, Cai Rongxue was still a little more open, but at this time, Cai Rongxue became more and more shy, and she couldn't wait to go back, not daring to see Li Sanjian.

"Celery, celery, you... Come here... See if I don't... Cai Rongxue then said to Xiao Qin, who was snickering in the distance.

"Hey, hey, it's no wonder that she's doing this, why do you say you're so anxious? I'm looking for you, of course there's something wrong. Li Sanjian said with a smile on his face.

"What's the matter with you?" Cai Rongxue asked.

Li Sanjian saw that there were too many people coming and going around him, and the endless stream was all looking at Li Sanjian and the others, so he said, "Go over there." ”

"Where are you going?" Although Cai Rongxue was twisting, she still followed Li Sanjian and others to a secluded place.

Located on the bank of the Jinmingchi River, there are rows of willow trees planted in the shade of green trees, standing here can not only shade the sun, feel unusually cool, but also can see the bustling crowd on the opposite bank, who are preparing to watch the "Jinmingchi Water Play Competition".

Because the imperial court is going to hold a dragon boat competition, and even the queen mother, the emperor, the queen and other nobles in the palace may participate in person, so the protection near Jinmingchi is extremely tight, and the inspectors of the inspection department and the Kaifeng Mansion Military Patrol Institute are patrolling back and forth.

Sneaky, it's not a good person, and the worst may be in the skin (ròu) business...

So a military academy came over with two inspectors and shouted to Li Sanjian: "What person? What are you doing here? ”

What do you care about us? Li Sanjian thought angrily in his heart.

Kaifeng Mansion has good public security and strict inspections, but I didn't expect it to be so strict, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, if something is wrong, someone will come forward to investigate.

But that's how it should be! So Li Sanjian took out the waist card from his waist and handed it to the military academy.

This is a Song official identification (shēn) part of the waist plate, made of jade, gold, silver, ivory, copper, iron, etc., the higher the rank of the official, the better the material used, Li Sanjian's waist plate is made of ivory.

Kaifeng Mansion Right Hall Prison Prosecutor? After the military academy and the inspectors saw it, they couldn't believe their eyes, the person in front of them was only about twenty years old, and he was actually the prison magistrate of the right hall of Kaifeng Mansion? It's their immediate boss ...

The three of them all looked at Li Sanjian dumbfounded, and their faces showed extremely puzzled gods (qíng).

"Do you see clearly? Why don't you step down? Li Sanjian was anxious to talk to Cai Rongxue, so he took out his "official authority" and said angrily.

"Yes, yes, it's offensive to push the officials, and the little ones will leave." The three of them immediately changed their attitudes, respectfully, and said with a sneer, and the military academy returned the waist card to Li Sanjian with both hands.

After the three of them walked away, they kept looking at Li Sanjian, looking reluctant...

"Oh, what a big official... Cai Rongxue blushed and spat Li Sanjian said.

"Haha, how dare you be an official in front of your wife?" Li Sanjian said with a smile on his face, but he was still a little proud in his heart.

"Who ... Who's your lady, I... We haven't gotten married yet, what's the matter with you? Cai Rongxue had already noticed Wang Wen next to Li Sanjian (shēn), so she asked again.

It should be for her, right? Cai Rongxue said secretly in her heart.

"Come, Wen'er, come and meet my sister." Li Sanjian then said to Wang Wen, who was far away and at a loss.

"The slave has seen Madame, Madame Wanfu!" Wang Wen blessed a blessing.

Although Wang Wen is from Li, her mother is a Han person, and like Li Sanjian, she is a half-Han and half-Yi person, so she learned a lot of Han etiquette from her mother.

Before Wang Wen went to Beijing, her mother also told her a lot of Han etiquette and the way of being a woman.

"I said I wasn't a lady... Cai Rongxue hurriedly took Wang Wen's little hand and said, "My sister just call my sister." ”

Li Sanjian's wife and concubine are married together, and there is one more woman, so any woman will care, there is always a pimple in her heart, and she is angry, but Cai Rongxue is a person who understands the general situation, how can she be entangled with Li Sanjian in this matter (qíng) here and now?

"Not angry?" When Li Sanjian saw the appearance of the two daughters (rè), he immediately relieved his heart.

"Angry?" Cai Rongxue glanced at Li Sanjian and said, "What is there to be angry about?" Who am you? Why be angry? ”

Li Sanjian had no choice but to laugh when he heard this.
