Chapter 124: Luoyang (10)
Jia Rong patiently explained: "The bamboo is very dirty, and it contains some harmful things, which are bacteria, and Yan'er only needs to remember that bacteria are bad things; As for disinfection, it is to kill those bacteria, and everyone's saliva can be disinfected. β
"Oh, I see!" Cai Yan nodded in response.
The flush climbed Cai Yan's cheek again, and said coquettishly: "Big brother, can you let go of my hand?" β
The old face turned red, and Jia Rong stupidly let go of Cai Yan's soft treachery, "Let's start making lanterns!" β
"Well, big brother, can the lanterns we make really fly?" The girl was really easy to deceive, and Jia Rong once again diverted Cai Yan's attention.
"Sure, Yan'er, you're a patient now, just watch from the sidelines!" Jia Rong said with concern, in order to maintain his image, he swallowed the blood he had just sucked into his stomach, otherwise what an immoral thing it would be to spit in front of a little beauty.
Cai Yan lowered his head and said "um", and after seeing that Jia Rong didn't react for a long time, he raised his head and quietly watched how Jia Rong made it.
Inadvertently, Jia Rong saw Zheng Cai Yan looking at himself dementedly, his eyes were exactly the same as those of Hedong Weifu a few days ago, and secretly said that it was bad, could it be that this chick fell in love with herself, how is this good, Jia Rong likes beautiful women, the problem Cai Yan is now a Loli beauty, if you look at her with the eyes of desire, you will have an inexplicable sense of guilt.
In fact, Jia Rong is willing to stay with Cai Yan because this little girl is innocent and lively, and her irritable mood can be alleviated.
A quarter of an hour later, the spherical lantern finally appeared, about the size of a bamboo basket in the countryside in later generations, but the shape was really a bit miserable, not to mention the mess at the top, and the distribution of bamboo sticks was also very uneven.
"It's finally good!" Jia Rong patted the dust on his hands and said.
Cai Yan glanced at the strange-shaped lantern and asked crisply, "Big brother, can the lantern fly in this way?" β
Jia Rong smiled: "Of course it's not that simple, this is just the first step!" β
In order to ensure the weight, Jia Rong cut the bamboo skewers very thinly, and the spacing between the bamboo skewers was also very large.
What Jia Rong made was the Kong Ming lantern of later generations, and the workmanship was too rough, even if it was put into later generations, few people believed that it was a Kong Ming lantern.
Turning around, he brought the haode paste that had been made in advance, and carefully pasted the rice paper on the surface of the lamp, and soon, a lantern wrapped in rice paper came out, like a huge chrysalis.
"Yan'er, go get the pen and ink!" Jia Rong said softly.
βhaodeγβ Cai Yan trotted all the way to her residence.
Looking at Cai Yan, who was panting, Jia Rong took a breath of heat at his already frozen hands and said, "There is a custom in our hometown, if you write a wish on a lantern and the lantern can fly, then this wish can come true." β
"The customs of the eldest brother's hometown are still strange, Yan'er has never heard of it, can Yan'er go to the eldest brother's hometown?"
"Well, if it's possible, I'll definitely take Yan'er with you!"
Picking up the brush, Jia Rong always felt so uncomfortable, and it was even more awkward to write, it seems that in the future, he will let his subordinates make a pen that can write quickly, which will definitely greatly improve the efficiency of the officials of Beidi County, unconsciously, Jia Rong always puts himself in the shoes of Beidi County.
"Yan'er, do you have a wish?"
Cai Yan looked up and thought for a while, and said, "Yes! β
"What wish?"
"Does Big Brother have a wish?"
"Of course!"
"What is the wish of the big brother?"
"Uh, uh, it doesn't work if you say it!"
"That Yan'er can't say either."
I didn't expect to accidentally fall into the little girl's way, and wrote a few names in my heart crookedly, hoping that Shijie's relatives can live happily in the future; With a long sigh, he added Xiu'er's name as well, and looked up at the distant sky, as if a pair of eyes were watching him.
Cai Yan's eyes widened, and after looking at it for a long time, he said helplessly: "What did the eldest brother write?" Is it the text of your hometown? β
The old face flushed, and Jia Rong said stupidly: "Well, this is the script of my hometown, which is very different from Chinese characters!" Actually, Jia Rong can't be blamed for this, the calligraphy itself is not easy to use, and it is written on the surface of the potted lantern, so it has caused the current situation.
"Hey, this Yan'er recognizes it, Xiu'er? Who is she from Big Brother? Cai Yan said like a new world of discovery.
After being silent for a long time, Jia Rong said lightly: "She's dead!" β
Cai Yan was like a child who made a mistake, with his head down and not saying a word.
Jia Rong picked up the brush and wrote at the bottom of the lantern, "I wish Yan'er more and more beautiful!" It's just that the word "Yue" is too difficult to write, and it was written by Jia Rong into a ball of black.
Cai Yanmei's eyes flashed with a shining light, and she regained her liveliness, but her gaze at Jia Rong was mixed with a hint of incomprehension.
handed the brush to Cai Yan's hand and said with a smile: "Yan'er, you can also write your wishes!" β
Cai Yan asked in surprise: "Can Yan'er also write?" β
"Of course I can write, this lantern also has Yan'er's credit!"
Cai Yan never let Jia Rong see what wishes she made, and kept sneering at Jia Rongjiao who peeked.
Jia Rong turned around and walked into the house to take some candles, smashed them, and made a thick core.
Seeing Cai Yan turn around after writing, Jia Rong asked weakly, "Yan'er, do you think the lanterns we made can fly?" β
"Absolutely! Because this is what Yan'er and Big Brother did together! β
Even Cai Yan is full of confidence in this indescribable lantern, Jia Rong is embarrassed to say that he is not sure, even if this lantern flies, it must not fly high, these bamboo skewers are simply tied up with thin wires, and even more importantly, the place where the candle is placed at the bottom is also made of bamboo, after a long time, it will definitely catch fire, but the top priority is to let it fly, so as not to lose face in front of a little girl.
Light the candle and gently stroke the lantern with your hand, as the lantern cannot stand at all; During this period, Jia Rong wanted to peek at what Cai Yan had wished, but she was keenly discovered, constantly coquettish, Jia Rong retreated, and chatted with Cai Yan without a match.
After about a quarter of an hour's effort, Jia Rong felt that the lanterns under his hand were already on the verge of taking off, and as time went on, the momentum of the rise became greater and greater.
"Yan'er, our lantern is about to take off!"
The sacred moment finally came, let go of the hand, the lantern shook and flew towards the sky, at this time I wondered if it would fly and fly down, this Kong Ming lantern took off Jiashi really didn't dare to compliment, suddenly, Jia Rong found that his name was written on the side of the lantern, and the corner of his mouth showed a faint smile, and it was very happy to be cared for by the beautiful little sister like a fairy.
Cai Yan let out a burst of cheerful laughter, she had never seen the Kong Ming lantern of the future shijie, and danced happily around the lantern that was more than three feet above the ground, Jia Rong was also infected by the atmosphere created by Cai Yan, and joined in, and the two jumped and jumped, completely forgetting their identities.
The lantern did not live up to the expectations of the two, and gradually flew high, three feet, seven feet, beyond the house, towards the distant sky.
"Look, there's a lantern flying in the sky!" One shouted as he looked up to the sky.
In the era when communication was basically based on shouting, within a moment, the people of the entire Luoyang City knew that a lantern flew up, and the lantern flying up was a miracle in ancient times, and many people even knelt on the ground and said something devoutly.
Jia Rong felt that the hustle and bustle of Luoyang City was quiet, it was a very strange quiet.
At the same time, in the palace, a small yellow door hurried to the side of Emperor Han, panting for a while, unable to speak, but his right hand was pointing to the sky.
"Why are you so flustered?" Emperor Han rebuked angrily.
The sound of music and conversation at the banquet stopped abruptly, and the eyes of the hundred officials focused on the little yellow door.
Emperor Han Longyan was furious, Xiao Huangmen was frightened and immediately turned pale, and used all his strength to stabilize his mind, and bowed: "Qiqi Sheng, a lantern was found in the sky above Luoyang City, and it was flying in Xiangshang, and the people in the city rushed to watch. "Since today is a festive season, the night curfew in the city has also been delayed for two hours.
After a brief silence, the feast hummed again.
Emperor Han coughed lightly and said lightly, "Is it true?" β
"And now the lantern is still in the sky!" Xiao Huangmen's face softened a lot.
Under the leadership of Emperor Han, the civil and military officials walked into the courtyard; Sure enough, I saw a lantern about the size of a wine jar hanging in the sky, and as it flew higher and higher, the lantern gradually became smaller in everyone's field of vision, but it was very conspicuous.
Many civil officials hissed softly, and their first thought was, "There is a vision from heaven, and there will be disaster!" Many officials looked at the lantern in the sky with pale faces.
Compared with the civil officials, the military generals are much calmer, pointing to the lanterns in the sky in groups and commenting, they don't have as many ways as literati, just simply admiring the lanterns in the sky.
Emperor Han's face was also very ugly, "Is it really that the sky is going to kill my Han?" Emperor Han muttered softly.
Cai Yongyue worshipped and said: "Enlighten the saint, on the occasion of this festival, the sky is auspicious, which means that my Han will be prosperous!" The civil and military officials echoed one after another.
Emperor Han's face softened a lot, and his eyes looking at the sky lantern softened a lot.
Suddenly, the lantern in the sky was lit up, and a spark fell, which was so conspicuous in the night that it was impossible to catch the lantern for a moment.
At this moment, the civil and military officials who were full of joy looked at the sky one by one as if they had eaten flies.
Emperor Han's face was pale, and he sighed for a long time: "I am not feeling well, please go back, Aiqing." Baiguan looked at the lonely figure who walked into the house, and bowed back one after another.
Seeking to receive red, I've been really busy lately, and there will be more, I hope readers can be very considerate.
