0401 Matchmaking
Li Wen listened and replied, "There are good papers in the Shizi's study. Fastest update"
Ma Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, "Then you go and get me more, I'll use it now." Get me some more fine twine. β
Although Li Wen's heart was confused, he didn't dare to delay Ma Zhong's affairs, and hurriedly prepared these things.
When Ma Zhong returned to his residence, he saw the foreman carrying his luggage and rolling it out.
Ma Zhong was surprised, "Brother Su, what are you doing here?" β
The foreman said with a smile, "It turns out that the relationship between you and the second steward is so close, and if you let your brother live in Datongpu, I'm afraid the second steward won't be able to save face." I have a vacant room next door, why don't you move there first? β
Ma Zhong smiled when he heard this, it was naturally good to have a quiet environment.
His things were already small, and after the placement stopped, the foreman spoke with Ma Zhong for a while.
Seeing that Ma Zhong was a little impatient, he left in a daze.
Ma Zhong found his own tools to be a gardener, first broke the bamboo, then took a brazier and lit it, and baked the thin bamboo strips on the fire.
Wait until the moisture in the bamboo has been roasted, and then tie the bamboo strips into shape.
Li Wen personally sent paper and hemp rope, and Ma Zhong asked him to take fish glue and put the paper on the bamboo strips.
"What are you?" Li Wen was a little curious.
Ma Zhong smiled, "This is a paper kite!" β
"Paper kites?" Li Wen touched it curiously.
The paper kite appeared relatively early, but it was not until the Southern Dynasty that it appeared in history.
At that time, in time for Hou Jing's rebellion, Emperor Wu of Liang was besieged by Hou Jing, and the envoy was not allowed to come out. In desperation, he could only fly a kite and ask for help.
This is now the first small kite in history, and that's a big deal. It was the emperor's handwriting, and the prince put it himself. The debut was extremely grand.
As a result, it didn't work much, and the city was besieged outside, so it was shot down with an arrow.
Ma Zhong boiled the paper, dried it on the brazier, and then dressed it in Aso.
Next, I talked about the method of putting paper kites in general.
Li Wen had never seen this thing, it was relatively fresh, and when Ma Zhong finished speaking, he hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I haven't let go of this thing, I'm afraid it's going to be bad." β
Ma Zhongxin said, if you don't do it right, otherwise how can I have a chance to make a move.
He explained a few words casually, and Li Wen took the kite nervously.
On the second day, Ma Zhongmei slept until three poles above the sun.
Seeing the close relationship between Ma Zhong and the second steward, the foreman Lao Su sent Ma Zhong as an ancestor.
When Ma Zhong finished eating the coarse tea and light rice, someone happened to come over to pass the word, "The gardener surnamed Ma, the second steward is looking for you." β
Ma Zhong knew that his plan was eighty percent effective, and followed the people through the courtyards until they reached the back house.
This prince's mansion is quite large, and Ma Zhong specially paid attention to it, and there was even a river passing through the courtyard.
Ma Zhong glanced at the water's edge twice, and asked the subordinate who led the way with a smile, "This big brother, this river looks like living water, I don't know if there are any fish." β
The subordinate who led the way glanced at Ma Zhong lazily, "I don't know if there are live fish, but there are a lot of water ghosts." β
"Oh?"
Ma Zhong pretended to be surprised, "What is this saying?" β
Seeing that Ma Zhong was afraid, the subordinate deliberately scared him, "A few days ago, there was just a death in this river for the prince to teach, if you are not afraid, come and try it at night to see if there are any water ghosts dragging you." β
Ma Zhong's heart jumped, could it be that Yan Sima actually fell into this river?
The subordinate walked in a hurry, and soon arrived at a courtyard, and this person instructed, "After entering, be a little measured, don't talk nonsense." β
Ma Zhong is naturally the only thing that should be.
When he entered the courtyard, Ma Zhong saw Liu Chan, who was staring at the second steward with big eyes and releasing paper kites for him.
The second steward only heard a few words from Ma Zhong, but he just reluctantly put the paper kite away, and it began to fall less than three or four feet above the ground.
Seeing Ma Zhong coming, the second steward said to Liu Chan as if he had been amnestied, "Little master, the gardener who made the paper kite is here, why don't you let him let it go to you, how about it?" β
Liu Chan naturally smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, good!" If you put it well, you will be rewarded with copper coins. β
Ma Zhong stepped forward like an ordinary gardener, took the paper kite from Li Wen's hand, and then said to Liu Chan, "Little master, the second manager is actually very good, but unfortunately this yard is too high and the wind is blocked, and this paper kite can't fly if it wants to!" β
As soon as Liu Chan heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "This is not easy to do, we can go outside and put it." β
Before Ma Zhong could answer, a man dressed as a military attache said loudly, "I can't help it!" Little boy, now there is chaos outside, and I heard that there are still robbers making trouble. Two days ago, Governor Zhao specially told him not to leave the house no matter what. β
Then the man glared at Ma Zhong, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you with one sword!" β
Ma Zhong hurriedly shook his hand, "The villain doesn't dare." But ......"
Ma Zhong turned his head, "The villain tends to flowers and plants on weekdays, and he knows that there are several gardens behind, which is enough to play, so he doesn't have to go out of the house." β
As soon as the military attache heard that there was no need to leave the house, he snorted through his nose and said nothing more.
Liu Chan showed maturity at a young age that he didn't want to be such a big child.
He listened quietly when Ma Zhong spoke, and he also listened quietly when the military attache retorted.
When Ma Zhong finished speaking, the military attache did not object, so he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Then let's go to the back garden to play." β
The military attache glanced at Ma Zhong casually and didn't care much.
I'm really afraid that no one can imagine that the danger is hidden in this Shizi Mansion, in his opinion, as long as Liu Chan does not leave the mansion, it is naturally safe.
Ma Zhong led Liu Chan and the guards and slaves who accompanied him to play in addition to the courtyard to a place not far from the dungeon behind.
Ma Zhong could clearly feel that the closer he got to the direction of the dungeon, the more often the military attachΓ©'s gaze fell on him.
The military attache didn't suspect anything else, but near the dungeon was the arsenal, and as a military attachΓ©, he had the most basic sensitivities.
Ma Zhong stubbornly walked forward for a while, and then stopped and began to fly a kite.
At this time, it was the time for the east wind, Ma Zhong was familiar with it, and after a run, he easily put the kite high.
Liu Chan clapped his hands happily and laughed, "No wonder you want to come out and let it go, you really can't run away in the yard." β
Ma Zhong put it for a while, and then naturally handed the kite string to Liu Chan.
Liu Chan was a little surprised, and then smiled.
On weekdays, he always sees others pleasing him, but now that the kite is in his hands, he can't help but be a little eager to try.
He tentatively tugged at the string of the kite, and the kite swayed in the air. (To be continued.) )
