190. Lanterns? ...... Also look at the hammer lantern (medium cup)!
After Li Lizhi finished speaking, she looked shy, and immediately ran to her brothers and sisters.
Children love fireworks for ten minutes, and dragon cubs are no exception. Each lit two fireworks in their hands and chased and frolicked around the small pavilion.
Laughter and laughter continued to come out, and for a while, the six brothers and sisters of Li Chengqian, who had originally received the most elite education in the Tang Dynasty, were no different from the dolls next door.
Tang Heshang on the side grinned at this scene, but did not join the battle.
It's not that you can't pull it down, but as a creator, you can be happy when you see others being happy with what you have made.
In the city, the lanterns of the east and west cities have been lit one after another, and the soft yellow flames flicker in the lanterns, but because of the green, yellow, red, purple, and peony lampshades with words written and painted with peonies, green, yellow, red, purple, text shadows, and peony shadows are produced......
It's beautiful!
If you have to make a comparison, it is obvious that the lanterns in the east market are more exquisite and more diverse than those in the west market.
It is precisely because of this that the entire East Market is overcrowded during the Shangyuan Festival every year. Chongren, Pingkang, Yiyang, Qinren, Anyi, Jinggong, Changle, Daozheng, Shengye nine square roads and the southwest side of Xingqing Palace on the road side by side are crowded with people.
Officials would wear Confucian robes or power suits, and for a time they would be no different from ordinary rich and noble families.
There are also small maids walking together on the square road and strolling in the East Market.
There are also street vendors dressed in coarse cloth clothes, fiddling with goods.
Those jugglers from all over the world are always surrounded by people.
No matter who stepped on your instep, or who you inadvertently bumped into your arms, they all looked at each other and smiled, and said "Shangyuan is good".
Of course, if there is a man with irregular hands and feet, he has to rub oil on other people's daughters......
Wu Houwei and the bad people are waiting, and the minimum punishment of Datang is twenty lashes. There is no doubt that if you dare to be dishonest on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, after being caught, these twenty whips will definitely be broken.
Don't consider the term administrative punishment, for now, Tang Laosi has not yet engaged in this idea, and Datang estimates that there is no second garbage system, and no so-called traverser has been found for the time being.
In the middle of the East Market, it is the center of the lantern riddle, and in order to get here, you must guess the lantern riddle until the last round.
It is not known whether the lantern riddle is from Jane, but every year the leader of guessing the lantern riddle will become the object of small talk between the big girl and the little daughter-in-law in the alleys of Chang'an Street.
By the way, the guessing puzzle is not free, but requires a small amount of silver. Every time you guess a lantern riddle, the lantern belongs to you, after all, the craftsman who makes the lantern also needs to survive, right?
Let Ran, if you feel that you have enough ability to reach the last round, I am afraid that I will not be able to get so many lanterns, so I will give up. As soon as you reach the final round, your colleagues who spread the word will also receive a lot of rewards. This reward will be paid by Chang'an County and Wannian County, and the official drop!
This is also the main reason why the annual lanterns are so attractive to literati.
Ahem, be straightforward, reputation doesn't matter, I'm just going for a reward!
On the second floor of the lantern, a handsome young man with sword eyebrows and swords and no anger and self-authority stopped here with several women. Some of the women are graceful and luxurious, and some are pretty and beautiful, and when they come out alone, they are already rare in the Tang Dynasty, and together they are even extraordinary.
The order in which the women stand is quite particular, about middle-aged, and three on one side is no more and no less. Among them, the middle-aged man is the first woman on his left hand and the second woman on his right, each holding a little boy, about six or seven years old.
This is His Majesty the Tang Emperor Li Shimin!
The handsome women around her are naturally the queen and the five concubines. Concubine Zheng Xian, who was once a sister-in-law, Zheng Guanyin, did not come out with her, after all, this was somewhat embarrassing to be seen by the former prince's mansion, otherwise six women would become seven.
It seems that His Majesty Li Er, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is not in the mood of the lantern, otherwise his face would not be in high spirits, and he would not be stumped by the sentence "sixty days" just in the second layer of lanterns.
Glancing at the emperor, Empress Eldest Sun, who was in the first position on the emperor's right hand and had a slightly arched lower abdomen, smiled and said softly: "Husband is still angry with a few dolls on the Tang River?" Otherwise, how could such a simple riddle not be guessed? ”
"Nope!"
Li Shimin flatly denied it, and handed the riddle to his wife and said lightly: "Since Guanyin thinks it's simple, why don't you come?" ”
The eldest grandson is not pretentious, and took the note and said: "Sixty days is February, just a friend!" ”
Obviously, the answer of the eldest grandson is correct, and the peddler says, "Madame, so talented!" Then he handed out a purple lantern.
In front of his wife, concubines, and children, His Majesty Li Er's face was obviously a little unbearable, and the corners of his mouth were curled: "This year's lanterns are really not interesting compared to last year, I ...... The husband wants to go back, how many ladies think? ”
The eldest grandson smiled and didn't say anything.
Concubine Yang, Concubine Yin, Concubine Yan, Concubine Xiao Yang, and Concubine Wei Guifei did not reply.
The little boy who was pulled by his mother, who was ranked first on the left, pouted: "Aya, the eldest brother won't let me follow him to play, you have to go back after coming out for a while, how can you play on this Shangyuan Festival!" ”
"Humph!"
It's good that the little boy didn't mention his eldest brother, but at this mention, the emperor's father suddenly became angry.
There is no him, just because of the big brother in the mouth of this little boy...... It's called Li Ke!
That's right, it was to follow Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and then take the three little princesses to break away from their own daddy's big team and secretly run to fight with the royal third brother on the Tang River!
And, this little boy who opened his mouth was naturally Li ......, who was known in the palace as not afraid of heaven and earth, and who was just six years old and knew that he wanted the little palace maid to sleep with him Bless!
Children's shoes who are not familiar with history, if you have read the book of the two gods, you will definitely remember that the little bastard who was scared half to death by the statement of changing hearts is him!
Although this little guy's butt is often four-petaled on weekdays, but today, the emperor's father is obviously not ready to deal with Li You. After all, the culprit who made the emperor unhappy was surnamed Tang! Full of all counts, at most half a son.
For the sake of a half-son, hit your own son once on the Shangyuan Festival? The emperor is still not prepared to do this kind of obviously loss-making thing.
Of course, a cold hum is a cold hum, with Li You's words as a foundation, His Majesty Li Er finally dispelled the idea of turning around and going back to the palace.
There are a few unfilial sons missing, aren't there two unfilial sons following?
As for the daughter......
Let's lend Donald Si a day!
The price of the bride price doubles the spicy species!
Anyway, after the autumn reckoning or something, I am light and ripe!
Thinking about this, His Majesty Li Er's mood seemed to improve a lot, and he took his wife to the third floor.
A wall apart, ahem, a city wall!
The Tang River on the edge of the pavilion sneezed here, and I was completely sure that this was someone scolding me behind my back! Otherwise, with the martial physique of a certain admiral in Tang, how could he sneeze in one hour, twice!
Could it be that the emperor's father-in-law pinched it?
Tang Heshang had such a speculation in his brain.
If His Majesty Li Er in the city knew that Tang Laosi would have this idea, would he grin and say: "Good son-in-law, we really have a good relationship between Weng and our son-in-law!" For the sake of our tacit understanding, the bride price ...... Double it again, right? ”
After rubbing his son, Tang Heshang glanced at his brother-in-law, eldest sister and future daughter-in-law who were still running, smiled faintly, and stopped: "Okay, let's run less for a while, so as not to get the wind and cold from sweating and wetting the clothes." I was sneezing just now! ”
On weekdays, several dragon cubs are used to listening to the instructions on the Tang River in Chang'an Academy.
At this time, they also stopped when they heard this.
It's also a loss, otherwise, I don't know if anyone will stand up and say: "Yo, our brother-in-law is very lenient, not only for Changle, but also for us!" ”
Their faces Tang He looked in his eyes, so much older, and felt that Tang Laosi, who was more mentally mature, did not dislike a few dragon cubs and couldn't stand it, but smiled faintly and said: "Okay, look at you one by one, what do you look like with your mouth pouting?" Isn't there still a few big boxes to play, let's play this first, take a break by the way, and then play fireworks. I promise, these remaining boxes are prettier! ”
Hearing Tang Heshang say this, the faces of several royal dolls immediately changed, and their eyes flashed with light!
Suspicion of this kind of thing, whether it is for Tangshan Chang or Shiro, must be something that does not exist.
After all, which time is it not a boutique produced on the Tang River?
Especially the three brothers Li Chengqian, who immediately ran to Tang He's side and expressed their willingness to help Shiro move the box.
That's a fart!
The four of them placed the five boxes in an open space outside the pavilion (in order to avoid a friend asking the four people how to distribute the five boxes, the author felt that it must be noted: Tang Heshang is old and naturally has great strength, so it is nothing to move two boxes at a time.) What's more, you can show your physical strength in front of Xiao Gongju, isn't it? )。
Then he instructed the three brothers Li Chengqian to take a few steps back, and Tang Heshang took out a fire fold and turned his head and said, "Look at the sky and show you different things!" ”
The fire fold ignited a fuse, and as the gunpowder burned, the sparkling spark got closer and closer to the bamboo tube, and finally disappeared from sight on the Tang River.
Through the faint carbon light, a puff of smoke could be found coming out of the bamboo tube on the Tang River.
This shows that there is no problem with the lead, and there is no need to stick your head to the mouth of the bamboo tube to observe, which can directly avoid the squirting of the contents and blowing up the face that is not very handsome.
At this point, it is estimated that all the bigwigs should know what Tang Lao Si lit!
You guessed it right!
It's fireworks!
Looking up at the sky is a bit of a stretch, especially when it is pitch black, and it always feels like time flies slowly.
Li Chengqian's six brothers and sisters feel this way.
Especially Princess Nanping, who has not been very patient, feels that her neck is sore, and she really wants to lower her head!
The Lun family is not the grandfather of the Shiro family, I hope the nostrils are facing the sky, isn't it?
This is exactly the time!
A glowing thing rushes into the night sky!
"Whew!"
A screeching sound followed!
In just two breaths, the glowing object visible to the naked eye finally reached the very top, and then ......
Burst suddenly!
A blue spark burst out, like a blue dandelion!
"Bang! Cracking sound! ”
It was the sound of almost part of the brilliant blue flowers in the night sky as they exploded!
"This ...... Is it a miracle? ”
Xiangcheng, who has always been steady, couldn't help but say such a sentence.
What is the flower that produces in the sky, not a miracle?
Li Tai opened his mouth, and he wanted to say, "This is obviously what Shiro made!" ”
But before he could say anything, a second sharp voice came!
It's the same as a flame that rushes into the night sky and then explodes!
This time it was the red sparks that exploded into a round ball......!
Then came the third ring...... The fourth ringing ......!
The six dragon cubs had only one thought in their hearts: Shiro really brought only surprises, not disappointments! With such a beautiful view, why do you still look at the lanterns?
Coincidentally!
In the East City, when the first explosion began, no one noticed anything.
However, when someone who happened to look up at the sky accidentally noticed the red ball spark in the night sky outside the East City Gate, he lost his voice and said, "Look, what is that?" After that.
The act of looking up at the East City Gate quickly spread among the crowd.
"Your Majesty! See what that thing is? ”
Wei Guifei was the first person in the emperor's entourage to raise her head.
The emperor followed Wei Guifei's finger and looked over, but happened to encounter the third fireworks when they had dissipated.
"How can there be ......?"
Before the word 'what' could be uttered, a fourth red fireball flew into the sky and finally exploded.
This fireball is powerful!
After the first explosion was scattered into six pieces, there was a second explosion that formed six small red flowers.
It's gunpowder!
The emperor is not like those people who have never seen the world, who think it is a miracle!
He immediately understood that it was gunpowder burning and exploding!
It must have been the place where that dog's day on the Tang River was, and the thing that exploded in the sky and was as gorgeous as a summer flower must have been made by the future son-in-law of that dog's day!
At this point, His Majesty Li Er thinks that he can send four! If you're wrong, cut it into cubes!
When the entire Chang'an people looked at the sky of the East City Gate, Tang Laosi's first box was just burned.
Glancing at the six people behind him who were still looking at the night sky, Tang Heshang smiled and lit the second box.
The interval is only a few dozen breaths!
The people in the city are all sorry! So it's gone? I haven't seen it yet!
"Guest officer, the things in the sky are finished, do you want to stop looking at the lanterns?"
A vendor withdrew his gaze and asked a question to the nearest customer.
The customer was slightly stunned, thinking that it made sense, after all, it was over in the night sky in the east of the city!
Stretched out his hand, took a lantern riddle, and was about to guess, but he was unwilling to take another look at the eastern sky.
Well?
Is that?
It was another flame that burst into the night sky, and then exploded into a ball in the night sky as before.
This!
This is clearly not the end of the story!
The man holding the lantern riddle threw the lantern riddle back to the lantern stall at once: "Lantern? There's that thing, and you can see the hammer lantern! ”
