Chapter 619: Duanhua City
"Duanhua Feast, what is that?" Yun Tian asked with a frown.
The heads of several cousins came over, plus a scented head, Yang Ying'er now sticks to Yun Tian as long as she has the slightest opportunity, as if she can get a lot of benefits by making physical contact with Yun Tian.
Yun Tianyi pushed Yang Ying'er's little head away a little and continued to stare at several cousins.
Yang Tian was so excited that he couldn't help himself at first, his throat gurgled non-stop, and his face was already flushed before he could speak.
"Forget it, let's talk about it first!" Seeing that the boss looked like a bear, the three princes had to take over the topic, but the crown prince and the three princes have always been mortal enemies, and at this time, seeing that the mortal enemy was stealing the limelight, he was immediately furious, and directly pounced on the three princes to tear together, and in the end, the slightly shy Nine Emperors took on the task of explaining.
The Nine Emperor Princes, Yang Yi, seemed to be quite introverted, although he didn't like words much, but it was really his turn to speak, and Yun Tian found that his speech was quite organized, and he was not as outrageous as his two eldest brothers. Under the explanation of the Nine Emperor Princes, Yun Tian had a further understanding of this Duanhua Banquet.
Duanhua banquet, in fact, is a kind of entertainment for the sons of wealthy families in the capital, the Duanhua, in fact, is a way to choose the top list of men and women, including the champion flower and the head of the hundred flowers, the champion flower is the best among men, and the head of the hundred flowers is the head of the women.
The champion flower can generally only be obtained by the children of those big nobles, after all, the foundation of the family is there, but the head of the hundred flowers is often obtained by some women other than the nobles, because the first point of the head of the hundred flowers is to have outstanding appearance and good talent, and the beauty of women is not only possessed by aristocratic families, and women's talents are not limited to rich families, because at this time women come out to do things relatively rarely, most of the girls are closed at home, so that the daughter's time at home is mostly used to study, learn all kinds of female redLearn all kinds of poetry, calligraphy and painting. Men have more entertainment, and women spend all their time in this area, which makes many of the daughters in the capital quite outstanding in these aspects.
This kind of flower feast is held once a year, and it gathers almost the young handsome and beautiful women in the entire capital, and it is the most sacred activity in the hearts of restless young people.
There are too many people participating in this kind of activity, so naturally it will not be placed in the central square of the capital, because the central square is adjacent to the imperial city, so it is really indecent to be so noisy, so young people have found a good place to hold such an event.
In the capital, there is a big river from the northwest to the southeast crossing, this big river is about hundreds of meters wide in the capital part, the water flow is gentle, there is no sharp bend or big drop, which makes the big river become a water shipping traffic artery.
Go out from the big river, take the boat all the way to the southeast, go out of a distance of about 150 kilometers, you can see a large wetland, the wetland area is very broad, dozens of kilometers long from north to south, nearly 10 kilometers wide from east to west, the big river flows eastward by rubbing the edge of the wetland here, forming a natural lake in the northeast corner of the wetland, because it is close to the wetland, there is a large area of water discharge, so that the big river is more gentle to this, and it also forms a huge port.
In the southeast of the capital, there happens to be a series of cities, this big river will connect the southeast urban agglomeration and the capital together, and because this port city is the only big city within 200 kilometers from north to south, so most of the ships choose to stop here, which makes the port develop into a huge port city, the city has all kinds of services, all kinds of shops and shops are not inferior to the capital, it seems very lively. The port city is built along the edge of the river and the wetland, so all kinds of buildings are distributed along the river from south to north, so that the part of the river that runs through the wetland is very lively, whether it is day or night, the river ships are continuous, the boats that are slow on the big river are still hanging lights in order to avoid collisions, and at night, the stars in the sky reflect the string of lanterns of the ships on the big river, plus the bright lights in the city, from a distance, the sky and the ground, everywhere are starlight, the scenery is beautiful.
The beauty of this place does not end there, just south of this wetland, the Yunlong Mountain Range, the largest mountain in the Central Province, happens to turn a corner to the north, so that the end of the Yunlong Mountain Range is exactly at the southern end of the wetland. Although the Yunlong Mountains have become sparse due to overexploitation, the proximity to the capital and the presence of many military camps in this area have limited large-scale logging and destruction, creating a rare large green area. In the summer, the entire wetland is covered with wildflowers, and the view is a sea of flowers, which gives the port city its name Duanhua City, and Duanhuayan is a clever borrowing from the city's name.
Standing on the high place of the river embankment, the port city is the hundred miles of verdant of the remaining veins of Yunlong Mountain to the south, the big river dotted with white sails to the east, the bustling and lively city to the west, and the village where the chickens and dogs smell each other in the north.
There was once a poem: "The east wind sends cool Ji Changfan, the night view of the West City is full of stars, the south lies in the clouds and the tornado is verdant, and the end of the flower city looks at the north field!" is the end of the beautiful scenery of the flower city.
When they heard this poem from the mouth of the Nine Emperor Princes, Yun Tian and the others were already on a boat traveling along the big river from north to south, because of the arrival of Yun Tian, this time Yun Yan did not refuse the request of several children to participate in the Duanhua Banquet for the first time, which was also the first time that several princes and princesses rushed to Duanhua City to participate in the Duanhua Banquet, so this time the royal family also specially sent three big boats to accompany them, two full of guards, and one for the princes and princesses to live and live.
Just came out of the capital, along the way I only saw the fertile fields by the river, until I left the capital more than 100 kilometers, I saw more green one after another.
Further on, the farmland became scarce, and the area of the wetland increased, and when it was 150 miles away from the capital, the farmland could no longer be seen, and as far as the eye could see, there was a sea of wetland flowers.
At this time, the scenery becomes pleasing to the eye, and the boat is moving along the embankment, because everyone is sitting in the cabin, and cannot see the embankment on both sides, and looking out from the porthole, there is a sea of flowers as far as the eye can see.
Such an exquisite scenery made everyone feel very good, and it seemed that the Nine Emperor Princes, who had a good set of poems, kept reciting poems describing the scenery along the way, and it was obvious that he was also extremely excited.
The crown prince and the third prince are still fighting against each other in the cabin, and Princess Yongsheng is a nymphomaniac all the way, still thinking about how to throw her arms to Yuntian. Several people have their own thoughts.
"Duanhua City has arrived!" It wasn't until a shout came from outside that everyone looked towards the starboard side. R1148
