Chapter 16 Liu County's Lantern Festival (2)
The wind is clear and the clouds are light, and the moon is full like a disk.
At this moment, the backyard of Liu's Mansion is already crowded, each person has a lantern in his hand, and the courtyard is also full of peculiar lanterns. In an instant, everyone was drunk by this beautiful scenery and swept away the previous haze.
After watching for a while, Liu Chang said, "Everyone, just appreciating the lanterns is quite innovative. I don't know if you have noticed it, but there is a note on each lantern. ”
Hearing this, everyone picked up the lanterns in their hands and rummaged through them, and sure enough, they found that each one had a note.
Seeing that everyone had found the note, Liu Chang continued: "Today, I will play a game with you, and the name of this game is 'guessing lantern riddles'!" ”
"Guess the lantern riddle?" When everyone heard this, Gu was curious.
Liu Chang knew that at this time, this famous game had not yet appeared. According to historians, the activity of "guessing lantern riddles" did not exist until the Song Dynasty. Now, he's advanced the game by nearly a thousand years. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.
Immediately, Liu Chang came up with the rules one by one. It turned out that the lanterns in everyone's hands were different, and there was a lantern in the courtyard that corresponded to the lantern in everyone's hands. And the note in the lantern is actually a riddle, and there is also a note in the other lantern, which is the answer to the mystery. If anyone can guess the riddle, they can have the lantern taken down and checked, and if they guess correctly, there will be a gift.
After everyone listened to the rules, Gu all looked at the note in his hand. The riddles are different, some guess the word, some guess the object, and some guess the right. For a while, everyone turned their heads and asked each other for advice.
"Haha, I've guessed it!" After a while, there was a shout in the crowd, and I saw a young man, holding a note, shouting loudly.
Liu Chang looked at it and smiled slightly: "Okay! Come on, take the same lantern! ”
Not long after, a rabbit lamp was placed in front of Liu Chang. Looking at this rabbit lamp, Liu Chang was puzzled, this lamp was not made by him, but Diao Xiu'er's work, so the person who guessed the riddle was Qin Hao in Xiu'er's mouth.
Just like Liu Chang's conjecture, the person who came up with the riddle was none other than Qin Hao. I saw Qin Hao come to him and open the note in his hand.
The riddle on the note is: out of the East China Sea, into the West Mountain, write the time square, draw the time circle (guess a word).
"I don't know, this brother, what can you guess?" Liu Chang asked as he took out the note from the other rabbit lamp.
I saw the other party, smiled brightly, and said: "This is the word 'day'." ”
The two were in pair, and found that it was indeed the word "day", and Liu Chang said loudly: "Congratulations to this brother, you answered correctly!" ”
"Good!" The rest of the crowd rushed to applaud the man who guessed the answer to the riddle.
"Hehe, thank you, thank you!"
Liu Chang looked at the personable, humble and orderly man in front of him, and there was some déjà vu, and couldn't help but appreciate it a little, so he asked, "I don't know what this brother is called?" ”
"Jiangzhou Qin Hao!"
"System, quickly check this person's information!" Liu Chang heard Qin Hao's name and immediately issued an order to the system.
"Host, please wait, the system is scanning and analyzing!"
"The analysis is complete, please click to view!"
"Bo ......" Liu Chang flashed into the system space and clicked on the ball of light.
I saw a man standing proudly with a sword in his hand, a green silk turban fluttering in the wind, and the spirit of chivalry came to his face.

"Is this a real-life version of martial arts?"
"The host should not be surprised, the term martial arts was born from the ranger, and it already existed in the pre-Qin period. Many rangers take the three mountains and five mountains as their residence, teach disciples to meet friends, gather together, and become a sect over time. ”
"Poof...... The world is getting more and more wonderful! After listening to the system's explanation, Liu Chang sighed. Come to think of it, there are still many unknown things and things waiting for him in this ancient world.
exited the system, looked at Qin Hao, who was still in front of him, and couldn't help but appreciate it. Subsequently, he motioned to Liu Wei, who was in charge of the host of the event, to announce the results.
Liu Wei cleared his throat and said loudly: "Congratulations to Brother Qin Hao, you got it right!" ”
"Good!"
"Okay!"
There were voices of appreciation around, and then Qin Hao received a gift in the envious eyes of everyone.
Since Qin Hao guessed the riddle, I haven't seen it for a long time, and someone has guessed it. Seeing this, Liu Chang could only shake his head and sigh, after all, this was only the end of the Han Dynasty, not the Song and Ming dynasties, although the riddles were already available at this time, they were not popular. Thinking of this, Liu Chang motioned for Liu Wei and others to enter the second program.
After a while, a large cauldron was laid out, and it was burned with boiling water. When everyone saw this, they didn't know what Liu Chang wanted.
Seeing that everyone was confused, Liu Chang smiled and said: "Lantern Festival, how can there be no food? ”
"Food?" At this time, the Lantern Festival has not yet had the custom of eating glutinous rice balls, and it is over to put lanterns and pray for blessings. To eat rice balls during the Lantern Festival, you have to start from the beginning of the Song Dynasty.
Soon, under the leadership of Liu Li's family, the people of Liu's house will be personally instructed by Liu Chang, and everyone will work together to make zuò tangyuan and move it out, and then take a pot of it. It didn't take long for bowls of steaming rice balls to be distributed to everyone. These dumplings are salty and sweet, the salty ones are diced meat, and the sweet ones have more variety, such as sesame, bean paste, ginkgo seeds, etc.
While everyone was eating the dumplings, Diao Xiu'er grabbed Liu Chang with a white little hand, staring straight at her big eyes, her lips were slightly curled, and she said with a little evil spirit: "Big brother, what about the surprise?" ”
Hearing this, Liu Chang smiled brightly: "Haha, little girl, I can't wait so soon!" Okay, big brother, I'll show my unique skills today and show our little show! ”
After speaking, Liu Chang didn't care about Diao Xiu'er, who was blushing a little, and walked straight into the house, and after a while, the two balls of wire in his hands appeared in front of everyone.
"Come on, come on, you guys give a place to so-and-so." Liu Chang beckoned to everyone and vacated a piece of land for him. I saw him shaking his hand and shaking two wire balls, and said while shaking it: "Today, I will show everyone the fire tree and silver flowers." ”
Like riddles and glutinous rice balls, gunpowder had not yet been invented at this time, and fireworks naturally disappeared. Fortunately, Liu Chang remembered a skill he had seen in later generations in time. This technique is quite simple, it is to find some wires to be gathered into a ball, and then connect a long line to dance at night. The high-speed spinning wire ball touching the ground will produce sporadic sparks, and as you flick it, the sparks will increase and increase, and soon you will see a fire dragon flying with stars, and its splendor is not far less than the fireworks.
The lanterns are gorgeous, the fireworks are like a brocade, and the voices of people are like a tide.
At this moment, with the two fire dragons wielding in Liu Chang's hands, everyone shouted amazing skills. The children cheered, and some teenagers were also eager to try, so Liu Chang ordered someone to take out a few more, and soon, sparks flew everywhere, and the fireworks were flying like dragons and phoenixes, laughing and laughing.
While everyone was having fun, a fast horse galloped from outside the city. Seeing this, the guards couldn't help but shout: "Hey! Who's coming? ”
Immediately, the knight gathered his horse and stopped: "A certain is a messenger under the command of Chen Liuzhang County, and there is an urgent report." Open the door quickly and take me to your county order! ”
