Chapter 305: Three Days of Pain and Happiness

Zhong Hao felt that the scene of being watched and bombed indiscriminately by thousands of onlookers like the royal street boasting official after the ceremony was just once in his life, and he really didn't want to do it again!

It's a pity that some things always backfire, after the first day of their new science and technology scholars, after the official praise on the street, on the second day, they will collectively go to the Confucian Temple to carve the inscription, and on the third day, they will swim together to give a banquet to the Jinming Pool. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Every time they have to honor the guard neatly to accept others to watch, and the people of Tokyo seem to have endless interest in this, these three days of praise official parade in the street, every time the audience is like a tide! No matter what they think in their hearts, they still have to shake up their spirits in the past two days for the Tokyo fathers and villagers, the common people and gentry to visit, which is really very sad.

Although it is indeed a supreme honor for them to parade through the streets for three days after the ceremony, these new science and technology scholars are definitely a chore.

In fact, Zhong Hao and the other new science and technology scholars outside the Sanding Armor are better, and the real sad ones are the three of the Sanding Armor!

In the past three days, these three Dingjia have been riding on high-headed horses every day and suffered the most indiscriminate bombardment, not to mention, these two strands have also been worn out by the saddle and bleeding, and the waist pole is a little painful and can't stand up, these three are more than Zhong Hao They are looking forward to these cumbersome ceremonies to come to an end as soon as possible, and to end this painful and happy day as soon as possible.

Zhong Hao couldn't help but rejoice, it seems that this bird has never been easy to be, and it is really not easy for these three tripod armor and those three.

………………

However, compared with the previous two days, this Jinmingchi banquet has an advantage, that is, you can bring your relatives and relatives and call friends to play together. As long as the new scholars complete those rituals, they are free to play.

Of course, most of these new members of science and technology have no relatives or friends in Tokyo, except for those whose homes are in the city of Tokyo. But it doesn't matter, as long as they don't have to suffer the sin of being visited, these new recruits are very happy.

In fact, not only can the new scholars bring their families and call friends, but during this time, only Jinmingchi is completely open. As long as they are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, they can enter the royal forbidden garden of Jinmingchi with their family documents. Belch...... The purpose of carrying a family document is to prevent those lawbreakers from mixing in. And to enter certain important attractions in later generations, it is necessary to hold an ID card of a nature. The family document is the household registration book and ID card of this year.

In addition to these lawbreakers, as long as the people of the Great Song Dynasty are innocent, they can enter.

Today is the royal family and the people are happy, not only the official family will come, but also the concubines and princesses in the harem will also arrive!

Of course, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the court are also indispensable to bring their relatives and relatives to play. Today's Jinmingchi is a day for all people to travel and celebrate together.

The Imperial Forbidden Garden of the Great Song Dynasty is open to the people every year in order to have fun with the people!

This year is the year of the opening of the Imperial Garden, and the Royal Forbidden Garden has been open for an extraordinarily long time. As early as the end of February, the imperial court posted a yellow list at the Yiqiu Gate by the Imperial Historical Observatory, announcing to the general public of Tokyo that from March 16 to April 16, the people of Shishu were allowed to play in Jinmingchi. Officials at all levels can also come to Jinmingchi for a banquet on the premise of official business. At the end of March, the imperial court will also open Qionglin Garden for a period of time for the people to play.

In the era when Zhong Hao lived, the monarchs of many Western countries would regularly open their palaces to the public to visit as image public relations.

But at this time, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty had already started to do this, and they opened the royal forbidden garden for a period of time every year, so that the officials and the people could enjoy themselves, so that the people could also feel the fun of the royal garden. "The people are safe and the king is happy", this is a compulsory course in the education of the kings of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, it is really not nonsense to say that the Great Song Dynasty is the most people-friendly royal in all dynasties.

………………

In the first two days, the people were standing and watching a group of new science and technology scholars parade through the streets! But today, the new science and technology scholars paraded through the streets to boast about the officials to Jinmingchi, and the people went with them.

I saw that behind the procession of the new science and technology scholars to parade through the streets and boast of officials, there were also about tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people, regardless of the noble and low, helping the old and the young, and the carriages and horses, and marching out of the city and heading towards Jinmingchi.

This Jinming Pond and Qionglin Yuan across the road, Emperor Taizong Zhao Er in order to drill the water army, in the first year of Taiping Xingguo, with 50,000 soldiers to dig the pool, lead the water in the Jinshui River, poured into it.

The circumference of Jinming Pond is nine miles and thirteen steps, the shape of the pond is neat, there is a wall around it, at first it is the place where the water army is trained, but with the pacification of the south one after another, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and the water war is basically no more, so this Jinming Pond has become a garden for the royal spring outing and watching the water play.

In the following decades, after several transformations, Jin Mingchi has now completely lost the slaughter of the water military academy and has become a fairyland on earth.

When Zhong Hao followed the team of the new science and technology scholars to parade through the street, and finally arrived at Jinming Pond, he saw that there were three bridges side by side on the sparkling blue water pool, the bridges were all vermilion lacquer, the lower row of goose pillars, the center was uplifted, like the shape of a flying rainbow.

At the end of the bridge, there are five halls connected to the Baojin Building, stand in the center of the pool, the heavy hall Yuyu, the Xionglou Jie Pavilion, the strange flowers and stones, the rare birds and monsters, the dock horse head, the warship dragon boat, everything is complete.

It's really beautiful, elegant and generous.

In March, the weeping poplars of Jinming Pond point the water, the tobacco paves the embankment, the flowers are like brocade, and the blue waves are like washing. Pink butterflies flutter among the flowers in full bloom everywhere, and the yellow warblers chirp on the trees, adding a lot of vividness to this full spring mood.

After entering the picturesque Jinming Pond, the team of new science and technology scholars went up to Hongqiao and arrived at the Baojin Building in the middle of the lake. This is the palace where the officials and their concubines enjoy the spring and water plays, and it is also the palace where the banquet is entertained by the Jinshi and the civil and military officials.

For the safety of the emperor and queen, the people were not allowed to set foot on the Hongqiao or near the Baojin Tower, which was guarded by forbidden troops on all sides. In addition, all the other places in the Jinmyeongchi Forbidden Garden can be played by the people casually.

Although they are not allowed to get close to the Takakuzu Tower, there is nothing to complain about for the people of Tokyo City living in the hinterland of the Central Plains, because what unfolds in front of them is an extremely fresh and magical fairyland.

The water surface of Jinming Pond is sparkling, and those golden and brilliant royal pavilions and palaces reflect the reflection of gold and shining, and the style is abnormal. The arched bridges in the pond are like flying rainbows, which are beautiful. The clear water in the pool is rippling, and there are countless magnificent dragon boats ready to start, which is exciting. The weeping willows and flowers by the pool also add countless colors to this beautiful water park.

Citizens who live in the hustle and bustle of the city of Tokyo, and who spend their days in the company of the turbid rivers of Bianjing, where boats come and go, feel great satisfaction. They soon got into the groove, watching water shows on the shore and entertainers performing in the open field.

There are still many people who are rushing towards the pass. I saw the vendors selling and selling the flowers, setting up a luxurious colored curtain along the edge of the pool, and laying precious jade and strange toys and colorful silk utensils in the curtain. The common people and citizens are all excited in the face of all kinds of rare playthings. All the shops are full of gamblers, not only money can bet, from the big chauffeur house to the small singer and dancer, you can bet one by one.

The new scholars sat in the Baojin Building, but their minds were no longer here. They are just sitting here, but their eyes are looking at the colorful boats full of big flags, lions and leopards, brute brand swords, and gods and ghosts floating on the clear spring waves; Listening to the blowing, singing, and noisy gambling outside the Baojin Building, I couldn't sit still.

The official Zhao Zhen has always been empathetic, knowing that in the past three days, he has restrained these young new science and technology scholars, and they have been tossed and ruthless, so he also let them have a good rest. At that moment, the official raised his wine glass and smiled mildly at the new scholars: "After drinking this glass of wine, I will go upstairs to watch the 'bidding', and you are free to play!" ”

As soon as the Jinshi heard that they could disband their own activities, they were all overjoyed, and they said that this official family was too understanding! A group of new scholars couldn't help but have a good impression of the official family, and they were full of a higher level.

At that moment, the new science and technology scholars toasted to the official family together, and when they saw the official family climb the Baojin Tower, they dispersed in a hurry!

Some of the new scholars went to watch the water show by boat, and some hurriedly ran to Guan Pu, the official family gave so much money, and they were waiting for a good man to kill the Quartet.

There are also good Jinshi who wander around in this Jinmingchi Forbidden Garden to see the scenery, and naturally there are also those who are in a hurry to find their relatives or friends in order to play together.

………………

At today's event, the Yang family naturally rented a cruise ship to play in Jinmingchi.

The Yang family is a family of Jiangmen, and their identity is very respectful, and today's official Jin Mingchi feast of the new branch and the ministers is naturally indispensable to the Yang family. Yang Wenguang, the head of the Yang family, is not there, so naturally Yang Huaiyu has to deal with it.

Originally, Yang Huaiyu had a headache about this matter, but fortunately, the official family knew that everyone's mind was not on the banquet today, so the new science and technology scholars disbanded early and moved freely. Today's protagonists are scattered, and the hundred officials who are accompanying guests today can naturally disperse.

Except for a few ministers who were invited by the official family to Baojin Building to watch the "bidding" together, the rest of the hundred officials and nobles could naturally dissolve their own activities.

As soon as Yang Huaiyu was about to be disbanded, he called Zhong Hao and Xu Feng to go to their own cruise ship to swim together in Jinmingchi.

Before getting on the boat, Yang Huaiyu first took Zhong Hao and Xu Feng to the colorful shed to bet on "bidding".

Zhong Hao was originally indifferent to this level, the most important thing is that he really didn't know about the dragon boat that was "competing for the bid", and he didn't know which team was strong and which team was weak. This kind of blind bet is equivalent to giving money to the dealer!

Xu Feng is very keen on Guan Pu. In the past, when he was in Qingzhou, he always liked all kinds of guanpu. However, although he was not short of money before, he was definitely not rich! Although his family is a scholarly family, Xu Shanchang, as the head of the academy, is very upright and rigorous, and he does not have much extra income, so the Xu family is really not rich.

It is precisely because Xu Feng, who does not have a lot of money, always feels that he has never had a good time.

Now that it is okay, there is a 3,000 yuan of money for the new science and technology scholars rewarded by the officials, and it is the grand event of "Jinmingchi Competition", Xu Feng naturally wants to take a big gamble. However, he and Zhong Hao also have the same problem, that is, he doesn't know anything about the ten dragon boats competing for the bid. If you are blind, the risk is too great.

However, Yang Huaiyu swore on the side: "Two brothers, although you follow the younger brother to bet, this time the younger brother is optimistic about the 'Ding' brand dragon boat, and it is foolproof, this time the younger brother has played a thousand times, one loses three!" "This time, there are a total of ten dragon boats in Jinmingchi's "bidding", which are numbered according to the ten heavenly stems of A, B, C, D, E, G, XIN, NON, and DEC.

Xu Feng listened to Yang Huaiyu's words, immediately nodded again and again, took out a large stack of official friends from his arms, and said heroically: "Then listen to Zhongrong, I will also go down to the 'Ding' number for a thousand times!" ”

If you make money for a thousand, it must weigh thousands of catties in total, and Xu Feng naturally can't carry real money with him. In fact, the 3,000 guan rewarded by the official family is also an official jiaozi, not a real money-making system, and the stack of jiaozi in Xu Feng's hands is the one rewarded by the official family.

Copper coins have always weighed six or seven catties, and three thousand pounds is 20,000 catties. If the more than 300 candidates really rewarded all the real copper coins, this would be a few million catties of copper coins, and the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty would naturally not be able to take them out at once. Even if you can get it, you can't give it all the copper coins. Therefore, in fact, the rewards received by these new scholars are all official friends.

Today's official friends are a little depreciated, not as valuable as copper coins, but after all, they are rewarded, which is given for free, so you can't have to ask the officials for copper coins, right?

Of course, if you are a subordinate official, if you win, the dealer will also lose the official handover. People are not stupid, so they will naturally not pay you copper coins. However, even if the official Jiaozi is depreciated, how can these 3,000 guan Jiaozi be exchanged for 2,000 guan money, which is still a lot of wealth.

Today's officials in the Great Song Dynasty only have two denominations, five guan and ten guan, and one thousand guan money is all ten guan denominations, and one hundred pieces are also available. And these Jiaozi are all made of mulberry paper, and the surface of this Jiaozi banknote is still very thick, and it looks like a stack that is indeed very thick if it is a thousand times.

Zhong Hao saw that Xu Feng was going to take a stand and count the money aggressively, and he wanted to make a big bet, so he couldn't help but smile and persuade: "Third brother, let's take it easy, don't play so much blindly like this!" Go down to the next hundred and ten times, try your luck, and just have fun! "Although this money is rewarded by the official family, there is no need for Zhong Hao to waste it so much. With such a blind bet, it is probably unlikely that you will win the bet.

Yang Huaiyu listened to Zhong Hao's words, and muttered very dissatisfied: "Big brother, what you said is not right, this is not my guidance, why are you still called blind?" Little brother, don't you believe my vision? ”

Zhong Hao and Xu Feng looked at Yang Huaiyu, and at the same time laughed and teased: "Zhong Rong's vision really can't be completely believed!" ”

In the end, Xu Feng made a bet of 500 yuan and bought the 'Ding' dragon boat highly recommended by Yang Huaiyu to win! Just now he said that he didn't believe Yang Huaiyu, but he was actually joking with him, so he still bought it according to Yang Huaiyu's recommendation. However, Zhong Hao's persuasion also played a role, at least he lost five hundred taels.

Zhong Hao only placed a bet of 100 taels to buy the "Ding" dragon boat, and also bought the "E" and "Ji" dragon boats each 100 notes, he felt that the two dragon boats were in the best position and should be quite advantageous, so he bought 100 notes each.

Zhong Hao's fight for this "bidding" is purely for fun, so that he is not as big a gamble as Yang Huaiyu and Xu Feng!

In fact, this kind of persuasion is not favorable. If the bet that people buy in the end is not hit, it is easy to say, if it is won, it is to make the family earn a lot less, which is simply thankless.

Of course, the relationship between Zhong Hao, Xu Feng and Yang Huaiyu naturally does not have these problems, and it is he who opens his mouth to persuade him.
