The reason why Jinming Pond was dug and the scale of the diameter of the pond surface is seven miles is to accommodate the huge lineup of military exercises. However, blindly practicing water warfare to show military preparedness will inevitably make the people nervous, which is very incongruous with the atmosphere of the Song Dynasty.
With the passage of time, real water battles. It is incompatible with the increasingly beautiful royal gardens. As a result, similar to the dragon boat race in later generations, but the more dazzling competition appeared, and finally competition replaced the military.
I saw that on the water surface in front of the Jinming Pond Baojin Building, a long rod was erected, and the rod was hung with a brocade ball, because it was bright, it was called the championship "at the four corners of the east and west, north and south of the water surface, a long pole was also erected, and each was wound with a color of silk, showing the four directions"
More than 10 bid-winning ships are all double-decker longboats with four or five zhang long, head and tail upturned, and colorful paintings like dragons. On the upper deck of the dragon boat, there are various flags and five-colored umbrellas, with bells and whistles, which are very good-looking, and there are also gongs and drums to cheer. On the lower deck sat two rows of strong rowing sailors.
On the upturned bow of the boat, there is a dragon head that commands the steering, and on the upturned stern, there is a water swing frame for winning the bid, and on it is a young man with a dexterous body.
When the winning ceremony begins, the dragon boat will first go around the four directions, circle the Jinming Pond in turn, and then return to the front of the Pojin Building to compete for the championship on the pole.
Winning the bid is the highest tide of the Jinmingchi banquet every year, and even the official family can attract it, which naturally attracts countless gamblers to bet, and even Chen Ke also bought a bet in the same year.
At this moment, all the ships were in place, and in the midst of all the attention, the official Zhao Zhen appeared on the terrace of the Baojin Building, he waved his hand to the athletes competing for the bid, and then struck the gong at the beginning!
After a gong sounded, the noisy and dense drums of the gongs and drums were occupied, and the dragon boats sailed away, the speed became faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye, the waves were chopping and speeding on the water.
Tens of thousands of spectators on the shore, their hearts were hanging, staring at the L ship they supported, shouting and cheering, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Chen Ke's boat happened to be on the track. The boatman hurriedly rowed towards the center of the pool. In the Jinming Pond area, there have long been more than 100 painting boats and pleasure boats, which are full of princes and nobles, dignitaries and eunuchs with their families, sitting elegantly at the long table full of wine and delicacies, and there are singers and girls playing singing and dancing, which makes Chen Ke their boat also shabby.
And Chen Ke and the others all changed out of their dazzling green robes and put on their former Confucian shirts, so almost no one cared about them.
The reason why I say almost, is because there are still people who recognize Chen Ke. He was watching with full attention... The boat he bought was a few miles ahead...... I heard someone laugh and say: "Haha, Zhuangyuanlang has a private visit." β
Chen Ke followed the sound and found that a small cruise ship was approaching, and Zhao Zongji, who had been lost for a long time, stood on it.
"Can you find out about this?" Chen Ke said with a look of surprise.
"There's no way, you can't hide such a big Wenkui star." Zhao Zongji greeted with a smile: "Come and drink." β
"I went." Chen Ke said hello to Zhang Heng and didn't ask them if they were going, so he got on Zhao Zongji's boat. This is not impolite, but there is no special relationship between the official and the clan, and it is better not to communicate. β¦,
But like Chen Ke, who was originally so good as Zhao Zongji that he wore a pair of pants, if he began to alienate the other party because he won the champion, it would make people look down on him.
Chen Ke got on Zhao Zongji's ship, and the bidding was also at the last moment, and the five ships were almost neck and neck, like arrows, heading towards the championship in front of Baojin Tower, including the one that Chen Ke charged.
didn't care about speaking, Zhao Zongji also stared at the final battle situation.
I saw a dragon boat hanging a tiger head flag on a blue background, which was already one position ahead of the rest of the boats, and was only a few feet away from the championship.
The sailors also showed their strength to feed, and in a blink of an eye, the dragon boat was already close to the bamboo pole.
The water swing at the stern of the boat has been swinging higher and higher, and the winner has only one chance to grab the championship.
And he was seen swinging high, and the man was almost level with the water. As the audience held his breath, he stretched out his hand, echoing, but empty, only his fingers wiped the silk strips on the championship.
The audience sighed, and the dragon boat had sailed a foot away, and the bid failed.
Immediately after, the second ship was in place, and it was in the right position, and as long as the winner swung past, he could take the championship into his arms.
At this moment, a figure swept over like a water bird, grabbed the championship first, and then drilled into the water like an arrow, and said with a wave of flowers, ",...
Only then did the audience react, it turned out to be the winner of the back boat, who made a desperate bet, swinging the swing to the highest point, and then let go and flew out, grabbing ahead of the opponent, and winning the bid successfully.
When the winner surfaced and lifted the trophy high, the audience erupted in earth-shattering cheers. But it's not all cheers, because many people have lost money because of it, such as Chen Ke.
I only heard him spit heavily: "Cooked duck, fly!" β
"Flew to me." Zhao Zongji took out a note slip from his sleeve and shook it proudly: "You can't take all the good things." β
"Look at you." Zhang behind him pursed his lips and smiled: "It's like two children." β
Chen Ke turned around embarrassedly, and saluted the Zhang family and the slim little county lord: "Gambling is a vice, but you can't quit it." β
There were only three of them on the ship, except for the maids and guards, and they all sat down around a table without talking about the defense of men and women when they played.
Zhao Zongji poured wine for Chen Ke and said: "The most incredible thing in the world is that you actually won the top prize."
"I don't think it's okay either." The two were used to laughing, and Chen Ke said with a stinky face: "But some people are born to create miracles, and that's me." β
"Poof......" The Zhang family and the little county lord couldn't help laughing, there was really nothing they could do with these two crazy people.
"But in any case, I have to congratulate you!" Zhao Zongji raised the wine glass, and the Zhang family and the little county lord also raised the wine glass.
"Thank you." After drinking it all, Zhang brought a box of dim sum to Chen Ke and said, "Taste the fruit made by my sister." β
"I thought I wouldn't have to eat after the exam." Chen Ke was overjoyed, scooped a spoonful of steamed cheese, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, and couldn't help but praise: "Xiangfu cheese glass bowl, drunk every year, I am used to tasting ......, this is the taste, how can it be so delicious?" Alas, people are reluctant to eat it all at once. β
"......", such a grand festival, but all women have to dress up carefully, and the little county lord is naturally no exception, but seeing her beautiful jade face, she is painted with light plum blossom makeup. Unconsciously, it has faded away from the immature youth, and it looks noble and feminine, and when she heard this, her face was slightly red, and she said: "The third brother just eats, and the little sister will make more for you another day." β
"That's a good feeling." Chen Ke suddenly smiled, and while stuffing the delicate dim sum into his mouth, he nodded again and again: "This delicious dim sum is really the only one in the world" ,......"...,
"Isn't that also a champion dim sum?" Zhang said with a smile.
"The county is worth a lot more than the champion." Chen Ke shook his head and smiled: "I am unprecedented, but I am only from the sixth grade, but the county lord is from the first grade." Heaven and earth. So it's better to call the county lord dim sum. β
"Didn't support you all day long? It's like a starving ghost. Zhao Zongji said with a smile.
"Can you eat enough for that kind of banquet?" Chen Ke shook his head and said: "The table is full of immovable plates, it is easy to serve a few that can be eaten, just about to raise chopsticks, or the official family to speak, or the ministers come to condole, or someone toasts, and when you have finished entertaining all the immortals, the banquet is over...","
made the Zhang family sneer, but the little county lord was concerned: "Then you should eat some food at the bottom, and then use one part of royal jelly and five parts of honey to drink it in a tea bowl, although the third brother doesn't like sweet, but it can relieve hangover and protect the liver." β
"My sister is intimate, aren't you envious?" Zhao Zongji laughed and said, "Your younger brothers don't have these careful ones except to help you fight." β
"Okay, don't be hungry for me." Chen Ke took a sip and said, "Besides, who said my sister." β
"Oh?" Zhao Zongji was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened and said, "Mo Fei, your father ...... it."
"Ahem..."Chen Ke coughed twice, which was equivalent to acquiescence.
"Awesome!" Zhao Zongji praised.
"What's the matter?" Chen Kebai glanced at him and said, "Your baby has been in school for half a year, why don't you have any strength?" β
"I've learned a lot." Zhao Zongji smiled bitterly and said, "But, do you know? Li Guiren, who is newly accepted by the official family, is happy. β
"Oh"..."Chen Ke finally understood that on the day of the small rumor, the so-called three joys of the official family came to the door, what kind of grace was it. He looked at Zhao Zongji and said, "You are deeply hit?" β
"That's not going to happen." Zhao Zongji shook his head and said: "I'm really happy for the official family, it's been more than ten years, and the palace is finally going to import Ding again." He said with a smile: "The one who should be hit, but I really can't see it on my face." β
"It's good that it doesn't affect you."
"Why didn't it matter, the most direct point is that the master who taught us didn't have to worry about it all of a sudden." Zhao Zongji pouted and said: "It turns out that the prime ministers often supervise their studies and give lectures in person, but since the news is confirmed, the ministers have not come, and the masters have not hurried up, it is really snobbish." β
"Let's open it." Chen Ke smiled faintly: "Do you think people really care about the education of the clan?" They treat you as princes, so they are attentive. Why are people bothering so much now? He smiled and said, "However, you still have to behave well." You must know that the more you study carefully when you don't expect it, the more you can move people. β
"You don't have to tell me that." Zhao Zongji said: "I don't work hard, am I embarrassed to be friends with you?" Saying that, he sighed lightly and said: "And it's just right to study in the sect, and you can understand so many truths, which are all masters in the palace, and you can't teach them." β
