Chen Xu returned home after visiting the emperor and Concubine Yun from the palace, and found that the courtyard of the Hou Mansion was already full of dozens of carriages, including two-wheeled and four-wheeled, single-horse, two-horse and four-horse, and the guards and grooms who followed were all gathered in groups in the open space of the courtyard to talk and talk, or they were playing money with dice, and the noise was very lively.

It seems that it has been impossible to calm down in the past two days, Chen Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Master Hou, Mr. Chen, President of the Academy of Sciences, Dean of the Women's College, Steward Huangfu, Director Yang Kun, Secretary Sun, Imperial Physician Xu, Master Yingbu, Yinshan Hou, Di Daohou, etc., came to visit!" The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion greeted him and said.

"yes, got it!" Chen Xu hurriedly walked to the living room, and heard the chat and conversation inside from a long distance, and even heard the sound of mahjong rubbing.

Chen Xu walked to the door of the living room, and sure enough, all he saw was a group of acquaintances, dozens of people wearing official uniforms and brocade robes of various colors were watching and playing mahjong in the center of the living room, laughing and scolding endlessly, several maids stood at the door, and saw Chen Xu striding over and hurriedly saluting.

"Meet Master Hou!"

"Hey, Master Hou is back!" With an exclamation, everyone suddenly rushed up, turned to Chen Xu and saluted.

"Haha, you guys are exempt!" Chen Xu walked into the living room with a smile while arching his hand, and after a mess, he sat down separately.

For Yang Kun, Chen Ping, Sun Shujiong, Shixuan and Huangfu Que, who followed Chen Xu, Chen Xu was their backbone, Chen Xu left Xianyang for two or three months, everyone felt empty in their hearts, and many things were done carefully.

For Jiang Hu, Jiang Bu, Yingbu and Li Xin, their current status can be said to be due to Chen Xu, if there is no Chen Xu, they would not have today's status and prominent status.

There are too many people and too noisy, and it is impossible for Chen Xu to ask about the recent situation one by one, and everyone knows that Chen Xu has just returned to Xianyang, so he has not sat for a long time, and he has already seen Chen Xu at this time, and after a simple greeting and chat, they all said goodbye and left.

Sending these people away, Chen Xu had just returned to the living room to sit down and prepare to rest, when the servant came to report that the two ladies had returned from the courtyard outside the city, so Chen Xu hurried to greet them.

Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan took Chen Xu's special luxury four-wheeled carriage together, as well as Xing'er and Yu Ji, and the maid guards followed a large group, and after getting off the car, it was a lively salute and greeting, Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan hugged Chen Xu to the backyard left and right.

"After a few days of separation, my husband looks thinner again!" In the inner room of the backyard, Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan personally served tea and water, and after carefully inspecting Chen Xu inside and out, Ying Shiyan gently helped Chen Xu massage his shoulders and said gently.

"I've been on the road for the past few days, and I'm really tired, and it's hard for you to follow me back and forth!" Chen Xu finally felt that he was quiet at this time, and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair to enjoy the gentle massage and said with a smile.

"Although it is hard to go out, but it is also very fun, you can see different scenery along the way, I would like to go back to my husband's hometown every year, Xiaohe Village has a beautiful environment and simple folk customs, which is much more interesting than Xianyang!" Meng Wan sat next to her and helped Chen Xu gently beat her legs and said.

"Well, my father and mother are staying in Qinghe Town now, and they will have to go home at least once or twice a year to visit in the future, and after the Dongfang Dao is repaired, it will be much more convenient to come and go!" Chen Xu stroked Meng Wan's hair and said.

"Brother Xiaoxu, can you help me make a bamboo kite, I saw someone releasing bamboo kites on the river beach outside the city today, and they flew high!" Yu Ji ran in with a lollipop in her hand.

"What is a bamboo kite?" Chen Xu was confused.

"Bamboo kite...... Bamboo Kite ...... The bamboo kite is a big bird made of bamboo, and it can fly with hemp rope! Yu Ji gestured for a long time and said.

"Oh, you're talking about kites, that's easy!" Chen Xu understood what Yu Ji was talking about as soon as he heard it.

"Husband, bamboo kites are not easy to make, only craftsmen who are proficient in bamboo and wood can make them, and they are easy to break, and they need to be ridden on a horse to fly!" Ying Shiyan reminded.

"Sister Shiyan is right, the legend of the bamboo kite was invented by the original master craftsman of the Lu country, the structure is exquisite, and there are few craftsmen in the whole Xianyang who can make it, and my brother has also made one, it is difficult to fly......" Meng Wan enjoyed the touch of Chen Xu's big hand, and said with a blushing face.

"It's too complicated for you guys to think, it's not that hard to make this thing!" Chen Xu turned his head to look outside the window and it was still early, so he sat up and said, "Let's go, let's go make a paper kite, and tomorrow we will also take it outside the city to release it, it will definitely fly higher than other people's!" ”

"yes, we can also put bamboo kites tomorrow, I'll tell Sister Xing'er!" Yu Ji held a lollipop and jumped away with joy.

Chen Xu took Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan to the outer courtyard, instructed the servants to cut an old bamboo, and asked people to find fine twine and tools such as knives and scissors, and finally specially instructed the kitchen workers to cook a bowl of paste with flour.

Bamboo kite Chen Xu has never seen, he just knows from the legend that Luban has made a kind of wooden bird that can fly for three days and three nights, but that is just a legend, no one knows whether it is true or false, but it is not difficult to make a kite, I did it every year when I was a child, and the school organizes a kite competition every spring, although the workmanship is rough and all kinds of ugly shapes are available, but it counts if it can fly, so every time the kite races, there are various geometric shapes of the round square triangle, and some handicrafts are more exquisite, and they will also make swallows, butterflies, goldfish and other styles, It's just that the more complex the structure, the more the technology is tested, and if the center of gravity is asymmetrical, it generally can't fly, and it will break down a few times.

Chen Xu naturally belongs to the kind of breed that is not exquisite, but it does not prevent the kite he makes from flying every time and flying very smoothly.

The simplest kite is a triangle, which is made of three pieces of bamboo of equal length tied into an equilateral triangle.

Chen Xu's speed was very fast, in just ten minutes, a triangle was tied, and three thin twine were also tied, and a circle of people looked at the triangle in Chen Xu's hand, and they all looked at each other.

"Brother Xiao Xu is deceiving, this is not a bamboo kite at all, I see that other people's bamboo kites are very big and beautiful, just like a real bird......" Yu Ji squatted next to her with antiquity and watched, full of disappointment for the triangle in Chen Xu's hand.

"Don't worry, I'll just do an experiment first!" Chen Xu was also a little embarrassed, the triangle was tied, and it had to be pasted with paper, so Chen Xu asked the maid to go to the study to find a few pieces of hemp pulp paper, cut them into a suitable size after making a comparison, and then carefully dip them with paste, so that the triangular kite of paper paste was basically half completed.

Then Chen Xu clicked and cut out two paper streamers and glued them to the tail of the kite, tied them to the thread, and a simple triangular kite was made, which took less than 20 minutes before and after.

"Master Hou, this is the bamboo kite you made?" A domestic servant asked suspiciously.

"Well, how? Isn't it simple? Chen Xu carried the kite back and forth, swinging it back and forth in the wind a few times, and said with a smile.

"Simple is simple, but it may not be able to fly?" Many have expressed serious doubts.

"Don't worry, you can definitely fly, Wan'er will go to the study to help me get some colored paints and pen and ink!" At the moment, the paste has not dried yet, and it is estimated that it will fall apart when it flies, so Chen Xu decided to beautify this first paper kite in human history.

Soon Meng Wan took the two little maids to bring pen and ink and several colored paints of different colors, Chen Xu first drew a big black eye with black ink, and then painted a fish head with red paint, and also scribbled a wavy line with cyan paint as scales, so that a triangular fish kite is all done.

"Help me hang the kite on the clothes pole and dry it first!" Chen Xu handed the kite to a servant, and then began to tie a second kite, this time a little more complicated, it was a diamond-shaped, and after tying it, he handed it to a servant next to him to paste hemp pulp paper, also stained with a tail, and let Meng Wan paint freely on it.

An hour passed quickly, Chen Xu had already set up six kites, Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan, Xing'er Yu Ji and a group of maids and servants worked together, pasting paper, sticking tails, drawing pictures, and a row of strange-shaped kites were hung on the clothes pole swaying slightly in the wind, looking colorful.

"Almost!" Chen Xu checked it and found that the paste of the two kites he started to make was almost dry, so he personally acted as a flyer, asked a domestic servant to lift the kites above his head, and he put a few meters of line to feel the direction of the wind and stand in a good position.

"Let it go!" Chen Xu pulled the twine, the servant quickly let go, Chen Xu pulled the kite and ran in the yard, feeling the kite floating in the wind, so he ran while putting the line, with a long paper tail whirring and swaying, the triangular kite soon swayed in the eyes of everyone.

The Qinghe Hou Mansion is very large, there are more than 100 acres in the outer courtyard alone, and there are more than 10 acres where the guests park their carriages on weekdays, but there are more trees in the yard.

"Wow, the Triangle Fish is really flying!" Xing'er and Yu Ji suddenly clapped their hands and shouted with joy.

Even a group of servants who were full of suspicions were all excited at this time, and the Hou Ye was really powerful, with only a few pieces of bamboo and a few pieces of hemp pulp paper, the bamboo kite made could easily fly.

"Husband, I really have a strange idea, this bamboo kite made of paper is much lighter than a real bamboo kite!" Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan held hands, looking up at the kite flying higher and higher in the sky, and they were also very excited.
