Next to the Bianqu Canal, hundreds of ferry racing boats have been placed on the side of the case. These boats are made of canoe to sturdy and reduce drag when traveling.

Li Jing and Zhang Rui and others all went to the river bank to watch, "prepare for the light envoy, build a dragon head in front, erect a dragon tail in the back, and carve dragon scales and paint it on both sides of the boat, which is called a dragon boat." Zhang Rui introduced to Li Jing with a smile. Songzhou, as the shipbuilding place of Bianchuan, has dozens of shipyards. Songzhou's water network is staggered, and the shipbuilding industry is developed, so the annual Dragon Boat Festival race is more lively.

And not only the local dragon boat racing activities are popular, but even the royal family also holds large-scale dragon boat racing activities every year, and even consumes a lot of money every year.

Tang Muzong once "Dahe was happy to be in the Yuzao Palace and watch the competition". And Tang Jingzong also issued an edict to make Wang Bo build 20 large ferry boats for salt and iron transshipment, "the time is calculated as half a year's transshipment fee."

Every year, Songzhou had to pay tribute to the royal ferry, and every year the shipyards in Songzhou had to fight over this matter. Therefore, the annual dragon boat racing in Songzhou is also a trip for various shipyards to show their strength. The winner of the first year's race will be able to get the dragon boat order handed over by the Song Prefecture government to pay tribute to the royal family. In addition to the competition of dozens of boats, officials at all levels, as well as major commercial houses, as well as major families, clans, and huge riches in Songzhou, will each send a ferry racing boat to join the Dragon Boat Festival.

Zhang Rui's family fortune is one million, and it is the history of Benzhou's thorns, and the Zhang family also has a ferry boat to participate in this race.

Zhang Rui specially introduced the Zhang family's dragon boat and crew to Li Jing. Zhang's dragon boat. It is more than four feet long. It is more than two feet wide, and it is made of whole golden silk nanmu, which is extremely valuable. And in order to make the boat light and easy to sail, Zhang Rui also specially asked craftsmen to paint the entire bottom of the dragon boat with expensive lacquer. He also oiled Kira's clothes and put them on the boat, so that they would not get wet even if they entered the water, so that they could make the speed faster.

There were more than 1,000 boats participating in the competition this time, which shocked Li Jing. He had never seen such a lively folk event. Compared with polo matches, dragon boat racing is more lively. On both sides of the Bianhe River, which is more than ten miles long, people are crowded everywhere.

According to Zhang Rui, this is just the Dragon Boat Festival Race in Songcheng City, and the following county and village communities will also hold the Dragon Boat Festival Race, every year the government will also give color satin, and the winner will also add a silver bowl, called marking.

And in the competition in Songcheng, the dragon boat that wins the championship can win a more generous reward.

Looking at this lively scene, Li Jing had to admit it. It's really a nice activity. Especially if there has been a grass thief attack just now, such a lively event will be held. It has undoubtedly turned the current atmosphere around a lot. And for Songzhou's shipbuilding industry, this is also an excellent opportunity for them to show the strength of Songzhou's shipbuilding.

The Dragon Boat Festival race in Songcheng has been around for a long time, and there has already been a complete set of procedures.

After all the fleets arrived, the first thing to do was to sacrifice to the water god Hebo, set up the altar, and make offerings. And then there's a big dance.

After Li Jing and the people enjoyed the dance, the paddlers of the fleet would take their pulp and find a young woman on the scene and ask her to tie her shawl to the pulp. This activity can be said to be the most exciting thing for the boats. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, girls who are usually rare to see will come to watch the race. Not only the girls of the common family, but also the noblewomen and daughters of the official eunuchs will come with the maids and servants.

In the Dragon Boat Festival race, there are often many young men and women who can spark after the most difficult time, and it is best to get a good thing.

When Zhang Rui announced that the boaters could go and find a girl to bless them, Zhu Wen, who was standing on the bank of the river, kept his eyes on the middle gauze tent on the high stands. In this race, the Zhenguo Army also sent a dragon boat to participate. Li Jing gave a special order to send the selection army of the sons of Song Zhou. After the end, the three Zhu Wen brothers volunteered and finally won a place in the fleet.

Holding the wood pulp, Zhu Wen's heart was beating, and his eyes were staring at the gauze tent in the middle. He had already inquired clearly, it was the yarn tent where Zhang Rui's family was located in Songzhou Thorn History. As soon as he remembered that the woman who was haunted by his dreams was among them, he felt so excited that he couldn't help himself. This is an excellent opportunity, he can take this opportunity to find him, and ask Zhang Xiaoniang to tie a shawl on his pulp. It is not rude for him to find such an opportunity today. Except for this opportunity, he couldn't get in touch with Zhang Xiaoniang at all.

"Third brother, why are you still stunned, hurry up which girl you like." Zhu Zhen laughed loudly, and in the cheers of countless onlookers, she rushed to the onlookers with the boat pulp.

Zhu Cun also smiled: "What, are you looking for Zhang Tailiu?" Right! After saying that, I was also excited to find the woman I liked.

Zhu Wen looked to the left, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Tailiu standing in the crowd over there, waving to him excitedly. Zhu Wen turned around, glanced at the stage again, and finally gritted his teeth and walked towards the stands firmly.

Today, thousands of boats participated in the race, as many as tens of thousands of paddlers, they walked to the crowd of onlookers, handed their pulp to the girls they liked, and then the excited and shy girls tied their colorful shawls.

On this day, being able to get the pulp from the pulpers is something that makes the girls excited and proud. In the same way, the man who can get the shawl of the girls is also proud.

However, when Zhu Wen walked straight to the high VIP stands, he still surprised everyone who saw it. They never thought that there would be a boat coming up to the stands. Although Zhu Wen always had a calm smile on his face, his legs were actually trembling a little, and he felt that his whole body had no strength, his breath was short, and his heart was beating violently. He felt that he was not going to the woman he loved in his heart, but to the army of tens of millions. When he finally walked to the front of the Zhang family's tent, he only felt that his heart was beating to his throat, and he was about to explode with excitement.

Zhu Wen handed over his own pulp, and hastily took out a fiery red rose from his bosom and put it on the pulp and handed it over.

"Beautiful little lady, you are the most beautiful rose in Songzhou today!" Zhu Wen said the words that he had recited countless times in his heart excitedly. "Today's race, Zhu Wen hopes to get the blessing of the little lady!"

Zhang Hui also saw at this time that it was the guy who had been looking at her stupidly in front of the temple in the suburbs, and she knew that he had become an officer under his command. Although it was Zhu Wen who came instead of the one she was expecting, Zhang Hui still felt excited at this time. In front of so many people, it is exciting and proud to be able to get a dragon boat boat.

Zhang Hui gently lifted the curtain, took the rose flower shyly and excitedly, and smiled at Zhu Wen.

It was this smile that made Zhu Wen lose his soul all of a sudden, and it was the first time he accepted the woman he loved in his heart like this. I just think Zhang Hui is so beautiful and charming. Her enveloping hair was combed into a sky-high bun, and she was dressed in fiery garnet red sleeves. Those eyes like seconds of water almost melted his whole body, and he took a deep breath of the sweet smell of Rulan, until Zhang Hui had tied the royal blue silk shawl on his arm to his pulp, and he was still standing there stunned, staring at her with a daze.

It wasn't until a light cough sounded from behind him that he came back to his senses, only to see a graceful and noble woman looking at him. She is graceful and luxurious, with a somewhat petite figure and a full head of pearls, which is similar to Zhang Hui. Zhu Wen knew that this must be Zhang Hui's mother, and bowed her head to her a little crampedly, and reluctantly turned her head away.

Each boat pulp hand received the blessing of a young girl, and excitedly held the boat pulp tied with the colorful and colorful shawls of the girls. But today, Zhu Wen is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one on the entire field. This bold guy actually got the blessing of the daughter of the assassin.

After a bustle of noise, the race will begin.

Due to the large number of participants this time, the most decisive decision was to divide into ten batches of competitions, one hundred each time, and after determining ten excellent teams, the ten teams competed for the first place.

On the open water surface of the Bianqu, the starting point is marked by a red flag, and then a long pole is erected a thousand steps away, and the upper section is wrapped with brocade, which is brightly colored, which is called the championship, and the winner is the one who reaches the championship first.

Zhu Wen and the others had already dragged the dragon boat into the water, and a team of ten people sat on the boat, holding the boat pulp tightly.

The first batch of more than 100 dragon boats on standby at the starting point, today's starting officer is served by Li Jing, Li Jing shouted to start, a row of drummers below beat the drum three times, the starting point of the red flag quickly moved to both sides, the race began, the dragon boat is like a dragon out of the water, "swift galloping, singing chaotic sounds, noisy water and land, the audience is like a cloud."

At this time, the dragon boat rode the wind and waves like a sharp arrow in the cheers of the people, what an exciting scene.

According to the custom, those who reach the finish line first to win the championship will be welcomed by the spectators, and there will even be many brave girls who come to dress them in red and hang flowers.

Zhu Wen's Zhenguo Army selected the front army, rowing desperately, shouting the trumpet, and soon took the lead. The distance of 1,000 steps is not long, and in the cheers of countless people on both sides of the strait, the selection team finally maintained the leading position, and Zhu Zhen snatched the colored satin from the long pole at the finish line and held it high in his hand.

The dragon boat docked, and suddenly countless girls rushed forward. A bright red silk flower hung on Zhu Wen's body, and when Zhu Wen looked up, it was a familiar face. For a moment, he almost thought that the girl with a smile on his face in front of him was Zhang Hui. But after looking at it intently, he finally recognized in disappointment that it was Zhang Tailiu who came, not Zhang Hui. Suddenly, the joy of victory diminished considerably.
