During the day, rumors about the prince began to spread.
Yinzhen took Qing Yan out for a walk, and there were dragon boats racing on the canal.
Every year around the Dragon Boat Festival, people in the south hold dragon boat races.
This year was different.
The common people extended the schedule of the dragon boat race to almost cover Kangxi's entire southern tour.
Now, the schedule has attracted many nearby people.
"My dear, you see the people are very happy."
Yinzhen wore a lake blue long-distance running suit, while Qingyan wore a pink-blue Hanfu, with pink hibiscus gold hairpins on her head and face pulled into a small swallowtail, and both ears Wear hibiscus earrings.
After going out, she wore a pink-blue hood, and the two of them were surrounded by guards.
"Sir, what are you doing over there?"
Qing Yan found a template pavilion in the distance, surrounded by many people.
Not only did Qing Yan find it strange, he wanted to take a closer look.
"Go and have a look."
Yinzhen glanced at Su Peisheng and asked him to go and find out.
There were people surrounding the pavilion, each holding their own money bags as if they were placing them on the table.
"Master, that pavilion provides betting for the common people.
Every year, during the dragon boat race, the common people will open a gambling game and let people place bets."
Su Peisheng reported back.
Yinzhen looked ahead, observing the movement in the pavilion.
He had to say that this dragon boat race was the grandest, and the private gambling house must have set up a gambling game.
"Xiao Guai, do you want to participate?"
Yinzhen looked at the pavilion.
Xiao Guai likes new things, and this is the first time he has participated in this gambling game.
Qing Yan was very interested.
Those gambling games didn't cost much money to cook, so everyone was very happy.
"Let's go and take a look," Qing Yan said directly.
Yinzhen took the lead to walk to the pavilion.
When he approached, he found that people around the pavilion were bustling, and everyone was talking about which ship would win.
"You can just go and throw a dragon boat."
Qing Yan didn't want to go.
The status of female relatives in the south was not high.
In public places, female relatives of good families were not allowed to show their faces.
Yinzhen felt a little distressed.
When had Qingyan ever been so wronged?
"Su Peisheng, go ahead and cast the fourth boat."
Yinzhen stood beside her and couldn't think of casting.
Qing Yan was here alone, which made him even more worried.
"Si Si, you're not going."
Qing Yan turned to look at him.
"It's just for fun, let's go to the teahouse and watch it."
Yinzhen looked around and saw a luxurious teahouse next to it, and was going to go there to have a rest.
Some wealthy people were resting in the private rooms on the second floor.
The followers of Qingyan went to the teahouse and found that the connections there had not changed.
Su Peisheng had gone to reserve a private room early so that they could go there.
The private room we booked is facing the lake.

From the window of the private room, we can see dragon boats docked at the starting line.
Each dragon boat represents a region in Jiangnan.
The best fleets are basically selected from each place.
Come and race.
"This has been racing for several days, and these people can be regarded as the winning boats."
Yinzhen said directly.
Qing Yan looked at the teams outside and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
The people in the south had put in a lot of effort for the dragon boat race.
Most of the participants were local farmers.
After busy spring plowing, they began to form their own dragon boat teams.
"Sir, when will this competition start?"
Qing Yan asked directly.
"In another quarter of an hour, do you see anyone wearing red on the pier?"
Yinzhen pointed to the far side of the pier.
Standing was a man wearing red and running.
He was holding a drum hammer in his hand, which should be specially for Set for the game.
Qing Yan nodded slightly.
This person looked obviously like an official.
"That's a bureaucrat under Cao Yin.
Originally, Cao Yin personally played the drum and hammer on the dragon boat.
After Cao Yin left, Cao Yin was forced to close his doors and completely stay away from these public appearances."
Yinzhen explained in a low voice. .
The death of Cao Yin is a good thing.
If Cao Yin can save space, he will not be taken advantage of by Kangxi.
If Cao Yin continues to stand out and his reputation in the south is greater than Kangxi's, the final result will definitely be bad.
"It was held because the emperor came to the south."
The Qing banquet was different.
Every year, there is a custom of dragon boat racing in the south, but never like this.
Yinzhen nodded.
The usual dragon boat race scene is very small, usually only on the two or three days of the Dragon Boat Festival.
This time there is not only a dragon boat race, but also some demonstrations of southern craftsmanship.
Qing Yan watched the drum hammer fall, and the five dragon boats shot out like arrow feathers in a row across the canal.
The people on the shore were watching the dragon boats that they had placed their bets on.
Qing Yan observed it with a telescope, and the dragon boats came together.
It's not a five-clawed dragon, but a three-clawed dragon.
Each dragon boat is made lifelike.
"Forty-four, this dragon boat is actually a three-clawed dragon."
Qing Yan remembered that in modern times, the dragon boats seen on TV were all five-clawed dragons.
"Well, this is something that the common people can use, but the painting is very delicate."
Yinzhen had to admire the craftsmen in the south.
Every place is quite exquisite.
Most of the craftsmen in the palace came from the south. , Yinzhen will sigh every time he sees it.
Qing Yan watched the dragon boat slipping farther and farther, and recognized the skills of craftsmen in the south.
Many of the top masters in Linglong Pavilion were from Jiangnan.
Their craftsmanship was passed down from their ancestors, and the drawings she designed were made very beautifully.

"Do you still need to see the craftsman this time?"
Yinzhen asked Qingyan.
Every year, the shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion will look for craftsmen in the south, have these craftsmen prepare the head portraits, and personally send them to the capital for review at the Qing Banquet.
This year, they came to Jiangnan and should have the opportunity to choose locally.
"Well, in the next few days, the shopkeeper will send those exquisite heads and faces.
Master, you have to help me check it out.
There may be some people's eyes among the craftsmen."
Qing Yan didn't dare to believe anyone easily. people.
She had also found several beneficiaries before, and those people had indeed been found.
They would select some information and send it to the masters behind them, which almost turned Qingyan's Linglong Pavilion into a sieve.
Yinzhen stretched out his hand to pinch her little face and nodded to her.
"Master, which boat search is yours?"
Qing Yan asked with interest when he saw the dragon boat arriving at the shore.
Yinzhen took a look and said, "It should be the fourth ship."
Qing Yan turned around and looked, and sure enough, there were several dragon boats at the end, which made Qing Yan a little depressed.
I wanted to know immediately whether Yinzhen had won, but now I had to listen to the report from the people below.
"There are a total of seven races in the whole day.
I bought the fourth boat.
We are just having fun."
Yinzhen read all the race records and directly asked Su Peisheng to play all the races.
They may not be in When you watch it in the teahouse, when you leave, a slave will be sent to watch it and it will get better.
