Jinming Pond is an artificially excavated lake, also known as "Lingnuma", "Lingchi", "Big Pond", "Tianchi" and so on.

The large-scale construction of Jinming Pond began in the Song Taizong Dynasty, and the edict was 35,000 chiseled and irrigated by the Jinshui River.

Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty built the Jinming Pond for the purpose of practicing water warfare.

Jinming Pond has five halls of water center, there is flying beam in the south, leads hundreds of steps, belongs to Qionglin Garden. At the beginning of March every year, the god guards the tiger wing navy to teach the boat and learn to play in the water. There is a pavilion in the west of the teaching field, or a lucky reading of the cannon stone crossbow.

Jinmingchi can be connected to warships, and you can imagine the grandeur of Jinmingchi.

The circumference of Jinming Pond is nine miles and thirty steps, the shape of the pond is square, there are walls all around, there are many doors, the northwest corner is the water inlet, outside the back door of the north of the pool, that is, the water gate of the west of the Bianhe River. The south gate is the Lingxing Gate, the south is opposite to the Baojin Building of Qionglin Garden, and the color building in the door is confronted. In its gate, from the south bank to the center of the pool, there is a huge arch bridge, called the fairy bridge, hundreds of steps long, the bridge deck is wide. The bridge has three arches "vermilion lacquer fence shield, lower row of goose pillars", the central uplift, such as the flying rainbow shape, called "camel rainbow".

However, although the purpose of Emperor Taizong to dig the Jinming Pond was to practice the boatman, but now, it has basically become a place for the emperor to step on the spring and watch the water play. . .

From March to May, Jinming Pond is ordered by the emperor to be opened, and the Shishu watch the dragon boat competition here and enjoy the outing, which has become a major event in the capital.

At this time, standing on the edge of Jinmingchi Lake, looking from a distance, the lake water is clear and turquoise. In the sunlight, it shines. On the shore of the lake, weeping willows are clinging. A warm breeze blew, and a large lotus leaf was layered on top of each other, like an emerald green umbrella. Among the lotus leaves, a few budding lotus flowers stand tall on the surface of the lake, like a slim beauty, and the scenery is particularly beautiful.

On both sides of Jinming Pond, the people who come to enjoy the game are shoulder to shoulder, crowded with people. Dozens of large dragon boats are moored in the pond near the water pavilion.

The dragon boat is full of movement with its head and tail high, and the busy people on the boat look from afar, like the size of ants.

The people who came to enjoy the game could even see the palace nobles in full costume sitting on the pavilions, but because the distance was too far, they could not see whether it was the emperor or others in the palace.

"Xue'er, you know, I, Li Sanjian, am not a person who is in the middle of the day, not when I see something different, but when I was in Danzhou... Li Sanjian, Cai Rongxue, Wang Wen, and Xiaoqin also walked towards Jin Mingchi, and Li Sanjian said as he walked.

Cai Rongxue's angry words before, Li Sanjian just didn't hear it, and explained to himself.

"Don't say it, I know." Cai Rongxue gently pushed Li Sanjian and said angrily.

It's not a strange person with a heart of flowers, Cai Rongxue said secretly in her heart.

Now that Wang Wen is still around, Li Sanjian is explaining more and more badly, and the more he describes it, the darker and darker he is, as if Cai Rongxue is a vinegar jar.

Even if he is a vinegar jar, he can't say it in front of Wang Wen, he will have to get along with Wang Wen in the future, Cai Rongxue said secretly in her heart.

At that time, Cai Rongxue suddenly knew that Li Sanjian was going to take a concubine, which made Cai Rongxue feel extremely uncomfortable.

Although this is the case in this world, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but when it comes to Cai Rongxue, it is extremely difficult to accept, the reason is that Cai Rongxue's mother is Cai Cheng's concubine, and she has a miserable life until she dies.

Cai Rongxue herself is unwilling to be a concubine, nor does she want others to do it.

However, although Cai Rongxue does not know the specific situation of Wang Wen at present, she also knows that Wang Wen is a Li person, and Li Sanjian is a person of the same race, and they must be much closer than herself, but Li Sanjian did not tell the truth, and still wanted to marry herself, which made Cai Rongxue still feel a little in her heart, and at the same time, Cai Rongxue was helpless about this.

Is it possible not to marry him? It's hard to find a good couple, and Ruyi Langjun is even rarer... Cai Rongxue said secretly in her heart.

The most important thing is that Cai Rongxue has fallen in love with Li Sanjian, and she is deeply in love and difficult to extricate herself.

"It's begun, it's begun." At this time, Wang Wen no longer had the panic she had when she first met, and pointed at Jin Mingchi and said with a smile, and the girl's expression was revealed.

"Sister, let's go, let's go." Wang Wen then took Cai Rongxue's hand and said.

Wang Wen grew up in such a desolate place as Danzhou, Qiongtai, where has she ever seen such a prosperous city like Tokyo? Not to mention the capital, even the slightly larger city has never been stayed.

The bustling and lively capital city, the bustling crowd in the capital, the dazzling array of shops and commodities in the capital, and the colorful festival activities in the capital have already dazzled Wang Wen's eyes.

She was still a child... Cai Rongxue said secretly in her heart.

At this time, the sound of drumming on the Jinming Pond was loud, the colorful flags fluttered in the wind, and the excited crowd rushed to the Jinming Pond, cheering loudly while walking.

The large dragon boats that had been quietly moored on top of the Jinming Pond had begun to slowly move towards the towering pavilion near the fairy bridge.

The sculls hit the water one after another, making a faint noise, and everyone faintly heard the trumpets of the boatmen.

From a distance, it seemed that a palace minister walked to the front of the pavilion and said something loudly.

Then there was the sound of drums on Jinming Pond, countless large and small boats rushed from both sides, and some large and small boats also put some large objects, because of the large number of people and dense, Li Sanjian and others could not squeeze through at all, they could only look from afar, and could not see clearly. Dancing God eBook

"Third brother, third brother, I can't see clearly." Wang Wen was a little out of shape in a hurry, almost crying, and anxiously grabbed Li Sanjian's arm and said again and again.

"Don't panic! Third brother, I have my own way. Li Sanjian was calm, and coaxed out several long cylindrical objects from his wide sleeves and sent one to each of the three women.

"What is this?" Cai Rongxue, Wang Wen, and Xiaoqin fiddled with the strange-looking objects given by Li Sanjian, their faces were full of suspicion, and they asked together.

"This thing is called clairvoyance, and the scenery thousands of miles away is like in front of you." Li Sanjian closed his left eye and placed the clairvoyance in his right eye.

I can see it clearly, but although I can see it clearly, Li Sanjian doesn't understand what is on the ship...

"Boasting... When Cai Rongxue spoke, she was the same as Wang Wen and Xiaoqin, looking into the distance with clairvoyance in confusion.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, Cai Rongxue saw that the scenery in her eyes seemed to be magnified several times, and even the beard and hair of the man driving the boat could be seen clearly.

Cai Rongxue was so frightened that she almost threw the clairvoyant into the water, hurriedly put down the clairvoyance, looked at Wang Wen, Xiaoqin, looked at Li Sanjian, and then looked at the clairvoyant in her hand, and then raised the clairvoyant and put it in front of her to look at it.

Wang Wen, Xiaoqin and Cai Rongxue were almost average, they were so frightened that they screamed twice at first, but they were reluctant to lose the clairvoyance, so they took the clairvoyance and looked at it again, and at the same time, the more they looked, the more excited they became, and they laughed so excitedly that everyone next to them looked sideways.

Li Sanjian laughed, Wang Wen and Cai Rongxue reached out and pushed Li Sanjian together, almost pushing Li Sanjian into the lake.

Before the official dragon boat race, there will be some performances, such as water swings, water puppets, swimming and other scenes.

At this time, it is a water puppet that is performing.

The so-called water puppet is a water puppet show. A small ship is moored on the top of Jinming Pond, there is a colorful building built on it, and there are three wooden doors below, the wooden door is called "puppet shed", and the puppets who act come out from these three wooden doors, and after the performance, they return to the ship from the three wooden doors.

At this time, there was a play on the boat that Li Sanjian could not name, and in the beautiful and melodious drum music, three small boats came out of the wooden door, and there were some puppets on the boat, wearing various clothes, performing various programs.

There was a fish boy on a small boat, who took a fishing rod and put it into the water, and after a while, there was a loud noise, and a koi fish was fished out of the water, and the koi fish jumped alive and splashed countless times.

The puppet show is performed as if it were a real person, which provokes the crowd to applaud and laugh.

With clairvoyance, these water puppet shows are like performing in front of them, which makes Wang Wen and Xiaoqin very happy to watch, clapping and laughing.

Even Cai Rongxue watched it with relish, and even Li Sanjian put his hand on his waist and lightly touched himself, without realizing it.

After the water puppet show, there is a water swing.

A water swing is a swing on the water, where a strong man swings high and then plunges headlong into the water to win with height or water.

"Haha, it's so refreshing!" Li Sanjian looked at the pawn who fell into the water like a dumpling, and his heart was so moved that he couldn't wait to take off his clothes and jump into the water to take a dip.

Cai Rongxue hatefully stabbed Li Sanjian's "salty pig hand" placed on her waist with her nails, and at the same time glanced at Li Sanjian and asked, "You can also play in the water?" ”

Li Sanjian looked eager to try, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

"Can I play in the water?" Li San said patiently and quietly: "Third brother, I was also a good hand when I was at the beach, and the 'Coastal Little White Dragon' is also, and the water nature is excellent." ”

"Yes, the third brother was so good that he almost fell into the sea and drowned, it wasn't the second uncle who rescued him, he... He just... Hee-hee. Wang Wen saw Li Sanjian bragging, so she smiled and exposed Li Sanjian's old bottom.

is also a person by the sea, Wang Wen's water nature is better than Li Sanjian.

Cai Rongxue and Xiaoqin were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they couldn't help laughing.

"You... The third brother is a coastal little white dragon, diving for three days and three nights, the second uncle he... He is not interesting, where can he be rescued? Li Sanjian argued with self-reliance.

The third girl saw that Li Sanjian was still stiff-mouthed, so she smiled even more happily.

Li Sanjian saw Wang Wen laughing and trembling, so he looked around, and saw that the attention of the people around him was not here at all, so he reached out to catch Wang Wen and slapped Wang Wen's little buttocks.

"Ouch, sister help." Wang Wen was in pain and even called for help.

"Don't hurt my sister." Cai Rongxue blocked Wang Wen's previous words.

"Okay, if you don't hurt her, then I'll hurt you." Li Sanjian said with a smile.

The four of them then laughed and played together, and the initial embarrassment, estrangement, and discomfort disappeared invisibly.
