Jinmingchi is an artificially excavated lake, also known as "Lingbo", "Lingchi", "Dachi", "Tianchi" and so on.

The large-scale construction of Jinmingchi began in the Taizong Dynasty of the Song Dynasty. Thirty-five thousand soldiers were ordered to dig it out and divert the Jinshui River to irrigate it.

Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty built Jinming Pool for the purpose of practicing water battles.

Jinming Pool has five halls in the center of the water, and there is a flying beam in the south, leading hundreds of steps, and it belongs to Qionglin Garden. At the beginning of March every year, the divine guard Huyi Shuijun is ordered to teach the boat and play in the water. In the west there is a teaching hall, pavilion, or

Fortunately, I read the cannon, stone and strong crossbow.

Jinming Pond is large enough for warships to pass through, so you can imagine how majestic Jinming Pond is.

The circumference of Jinming Pool is nine miles and thirty paces. It is square in shape, surrounded by walls, and has many gates. The northwest corner is the water inlet. Outside the back door to the north of the pool is the West Water Gate of Bianhe River. The south gate is the Lingxing Gate, and the south gate is the Qionglin Garden.

The Baojin Tower faces the Baojin Tower, and the colorful towers inside the gate confront each other. Inside the gate, from the south bank to the center of the pool, there is a giant arch bridge, called Xianqiao, which is hundreds of steps long and has a wide bridge deck. The bridge has three arches, "red lacquer balustrades", and the lower row.

"Goose Pillar", with a bulge in the center, like a flying rainbow, is called "Camel Rainbow".

However, although the purpose of Emperor Taizong's digging of Jinmingchi was to train boatmen, now it has basically become a place for the emperor to enjoy spring outings and watch water plays...

Every year from March to May, the Jinming Pond is opened to the public by order of the emperor, and people with the common people can watch dragon boats compete for bids and enjoy the outings here, which has become a major event in the capital.

At this time, I was standing by the Jinmingchi Lake. Looking from a distance, the lake water was clear and green. Under the sunlight, it shone brightly. On the shore of the lake, weeping willows lingered. A warm wind blew by, and a large lotus leaf was layered on top of each other.

Like green umbrellas. Among the lotus leaves, a few budding lotus flowers stand tall on the lake, like graceful beauties. The scenery is particularly beautiful.

On both sides of the Jinming Pond, there were a huge crowd of scholars and common people who came to enjoy the scenery. There were dozens of large dragon boats moored in the pond near the waterside pavilion.

The dragon boat has its head and tail raised, full of movement. Looking from a distance, the busy people on the boat are as big as ants.

The common people who came to enjoy the sights could even see the royal nobles in costumes sitting in the pavilions, but because the distance was too far, they could not see clearly whether it was the emperor or someone else in the palace.

"Xue'er, you know that I, Li Sanjian, am not a fast-moving person. It's not that I have changed my mind when I saw something different, but when I was in Danzhou..." Li Sanjian, Cai Rongxue, Wang Wen, and Xiaoqin also went to Jin Mingchi.

Let's go, Li Sanjian said as he walked.

Li Sanjian just pretended not to hear Cai Rongxue's angry words before and explained to himself.

"Stop talking, I know." Cai Rongxue gently pushed Li Sanjian and said angrily.

It’s strange to be a playboy, Cai Rongxue thought to herself.

Now that Wang Wen is still around, Li Sanjian's explanations are getting worse and worse, and his descriptions are getting darker and darker, as if Cai Rongxue is a jealous person.

Even if she is jealous, she can't say it in front of Wang Wen. She will have to get along with Wang Wen in the future, Cai Rongxue thought to herself.

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 the world, it is perfectly normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but when it comes to Cai Rongxue, it is extremely difficult to accept it. The reason is that Cai Rongxue's mother is Cai Que's concubine, which is miserable

Throughout life, until death, after death, the spirit tablets are not allowed to be placed in the ancestral graves, and Mrs. Cai's name is not allowed to be written on them.

Cai Rongxue herself does not want to be a concubine, nor does she want others to do so.

However, although Cai Rongxue currently does not know Wang Wen’s specific situation,

, but also knew that Wang Wen was a Li and a member of the same clan as Li Sanjian. They must be much closer than themselves. However, Li Sanjian did not tell the truth and still wanted to marry him, which made Cai Rongxue's heart

She still felt a little bit, and at the same time, Cai Rongxue was helpless about it.

Is it possible not to marry him? A good match is hard to find, and a right husband is even rarer... Cai Rongxue thought to herself.

The most important thing is that Cai Rongxue has fallen in love with Li Sanjian, and she is so passionate that she can't extricate herself.

"It's begun, it's begun." At this time, Wang Wen no longer had the fear when they first met. She pointed at Jin Mingchi and smiled, with the girl's expression clearly revealed.

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

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

The bustling and bustling capital, the bustling crowds, the dazzling array of shops and merchandise, and the colorful festival activities in the capital have long dazzled Wang Wen's eyes. Currently, Wang Wen just wants to go shopping and play everywhere. Where else can she have time to relax?

To think?

She is still a child... Cai Rongxue thought to herself.

At this time, there was a loud sound of drumming on Jinming Pool, colorful flags fluttered in the wind, and excited crowds rushed to Jinming Pool, cheering loudly as they walked.

The large dragon boat that had been parked quietly on Jinming Pond had begun to slowly move towards the towering pavilions near Xianqiao.

The sculls hit the water one after another, making a faint splashing sound, and everyone could faintly hear the chants of the boatmen.

Looking from a distance, it seemed that a palace minister came to the pavilion and said something loudly.

Then there was the sound of drum music again on Jinming Pond, and countless boats of various sizes came rushing from both sides. Some large boats even had some large objects on them. Due to the large number of people and the density, Li Sanjian and others could not squeeze through at all, so they had to

Looking far away, but not seeing clearly.

"Third brother, third brother, I can't see clearly." Wang Wen was so anxious that she almost cried. She grabbed Li Sanjian's arm anxiously and said repeatedly.

"Don't panic! Third brother, I have my own solution." Li Sanjian was calm and confident, taking out several long tubular objects from his wide sleeves and giving one to each of the three women.

"What is this?" Cai Rongxue, Wang Wen, and Xiao Qin asked together with doubts on their faces as they fiddled with the strange-looking objects given by Li Sanjian.

"This thing is called the clairvoyance, and the scenery thousands of miles away seems to be right in front of you." Li Sanjian closed his left eye, held the clairvoyance and placed it on his right eye.

Now he could see clearly, but even though he could see clearly, Li Sanjian still didn't understand what was on the ship...

"It's all bragging..." When Cai Rongxue spoke, she, like Wang Wen and Xiao Qin, looked into the distance with her clairvoyance in confusion.

She didn't know it, but she was shocked when she 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 were clearly visible.

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

Looked up.

Wang Wen, Xiaoqin and Cai Rongxue looked almost the same. They were so frightened at first that they screamed twice, but they couldn't bear to lose their clairvoyance, so they started looking at it with the clairvoyance. At the same time, they became more and more excited as they watched, and they were so excited that they couldn't stop laughing.

It made everyone around him look sideways.

Li Sanjian laughed loudly. Wang Wen and Cai Rongxue reached out and pushed Li Sanjian, 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 performances.

The performance at this time is water puppet.

The so-called water puppet is a water puppet show. A medium-sized ship is moored on the Jinming Pond, with a colorful building built on it and three wooden doors below.

After exiting the wooden door, after the performance, they returned to the ship through the three wooden doors.

At this time, a play that Li Sanjian could not name was being performed on the boat. Amidst the beautiful and melodious sound of drums, three boats came out of the wooden door. There were some puppets on the boat, wearing various clothes, performing various performances.

There was a fish boy on a small boat, holding a fishing rod and putting it into the water. After a moment, a koi was fished out of the water with a splash. The koi was jumping around and splashing countless water splashes.

The puppet show was performed so vividly, as if it were a real person performing it, which made everyone cheer loudly and laugh endlessly.

With clairvoyance, these water puppet shows seemed to be performed in front of their eyes, which made Wang Wen and Xiao Qin extremely happy, clapping their hands and laughing endlessly.

Even Cai Rongxue watched it with gusto, and even Li Sanjian put his hand on his waist and was not aware of it.

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

Water swing means swinging on the water. A strong person swings up a high swing and then plunges into the water to win with height or a water-like posture.

"Haha, it's so refreshing!" Li Sanjian looked at Jianzu who fell into the water like a dumpling. His heart was so moved that he wished he could take off his clothes and jump into the water for a dip.

Cai Rongxue used her nails to stab Li Sanjian's hands that were placed on her waist. At the same time, she rolled her eyes 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 Sanjian endured the pain and said calmly: "Third brother, I was also a good player when I was at the beach. I was called the 'Little White Dragon on the Coast', and my water skills are excellent."

"Yes, the third brother was so good at water that he almost fell into the sea and drowned. If it weren't for the second father who saved him, he...he would just...hehe." Wang Wen saw Li Sanjian bragging, so she smiled and exposed Li Sanjian's old background.

As a person from the seaside, Wang Wen's water skills are better than Li Sanjian's.

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

"You... Third brother, I am Binhai Xiaobailong. I can dive for three days and three nights. Second uncle, he... he is ignorant. How can he be needed to rescue me?" Li Sanjian argued forcefully.

.

When the three girls saw that Li Sanjian was still speaking harshly, they laughed even more happily.

Li Sanjian saw Wang Wen laughing so hard that her flowers were trembling, so he looked around and saw that the people around him were not paying attention at all. He stretched out his hand to catch Wang Wen and hit Wang Wen's little buttocks.

"Oh, sister, help me." Wang Wen was in pain and kept calling for help.

"Don't hurt my sister." Cai Rongxue said in front of Wang Wen.

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