Chapter 216: A kite is like a crescent moon
Liu Hanyan saw that Wang Hou was serious, and thought that he was embarrassed to say that he was injured, and just as he was about to break the truth, Li Zhixian and the three had already arrived. After Li Zhixian grabbed Jin Minhui and Zhou Qingzhu, he only said, "Don't worry, Sister Liu can handle it alone." So they didn't know how Wang Hou's injury was, and they were relieved to see him move freely at this time.
Zhou Qingzhu asked, "Sister Yan, you really have the ability, how can you cure it?" Liu Hanyan was already a little suspicious, but seeing Li Zhixian's cunning eyes, and seeing Senior Sister Zhuang pulling her brother forward, she felt as if she had been deceived, and asked in a rough voice, "Nerd, are you injured?" ”
Wang Hou hesitated, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed: "Hey, isn't that Xiaosha?" A few people looked back, where was Xiaosha's figure, Liu Hanyan turned around to find Wang Hou again, he had already run away from a hundred zhang, and couldn't help but look gloomy: "Little pervert, it turned out that he was making me happy...... This one has no conscience! ”
For the next four days, the seven did not go to the fishing bay again, but they were not idle. When Wang Hou returned to the palace that night, he told Zheng He about the situation in Yuwan, and Zheng He was angry and shocked. Angry, the abbot of Kuhai and the other five people went to Yuwan, and the owner of Huangzhai was rude and did something to a local girl, but fortunately it did not have a big impact; What's even more angry is that Yin Guanzhu actually wants a local woman, if this really makes trouble, how can the fleet have face?
Zheng He immediately asked Tang Jing to order the fleet, all personnel are not allowed to act without authorization from now on, and well-known figures in the rivers and lakes must be strictly self-disciplined, and they can only leave the treasure ship after being approved, otherwise, the light ones will be abolished like Yin Guan and He Ge Lord, and the heavy ones will be dealt with by military law!
What is surprising is that the tears of the mermaid can really turn into pearls like the legend? Since more than one person has picked up pearls in the fishing bay, it is not for nothing. Speaking of this, Wang Hou asked the confusion in his heart: "Chief soldier, what is the purpose of Prince Mahalla showing the pearl last night, which attracted everyone's suspicion?" ”
Although there were only three people in the room, Zheng He, Wang Hou, and Nanhai Gong, Zheng He hesitated for a moment, and responded: "It's not that I deliberately want to hide it from the general, but this matter is very important...... When I was in Champong, I told you that Siam had sent men from the land, and if they were to take the mermaids, things would be complicated, and the two countries would soon have an armistice, and the war would be on the verge of breaking out, and the mermaids might be the trigger. ”
Seeing Wang Hou nodding, Zheng He said again: "So, the result of our discussion yesterday is to announce the pearl matter at the banquet!" Last night's banquet was mostly made up of envoys from various countries, so they were bound to rush to Yuwan on April 16. No matter how ready Siam is, it is impossible to act in front of the envoys of various countries, so the matter will be much simpler...... I'm hoping for the mermaid to show up as scheduled. Wang Hou understood the reason, and talked about the Siamese national boxer Taisang, Zheng He didn't know where he went with ten subordinates, but after Tang Jing reminded him last night, he had asked Prince Mahala to focus on defense.
In the next few days, Wang Hou only stayed in the palace to accompany Zheng He, waiting for the latest news. Liu Hanyan and the six people ran out of the palace every day, under the leadership of Xiaosha, they traveled in the mountains and rivers, and after a battle with the Huangzhai Lord and others, Wang Hou knew that the martial arts of several of them were already among the masters, so naturally there was no need to worry, and the entire capital was loose and tight, and the guards were tight, as long as they didn't cause trouble, there would be no danger.
However, the development of things is always unexpected, on the afternoon of the third day, Wang Houzheng was chatting with Zheng He and Nanhai Gong, Jin Minhui hurriedly ran in alone, and said breathlessly: "Brother Wang, it's not good, Sister Ayan, they ...... They are fighting, fighting! ”
☆☆☆☆☆ the past four days, Liu Hanyan and others were more tired, and in the first three days, Xiaosha took six people to eat, drink and have fun, and almost visited the capital. Liu Zhaohui saw that Wang Hou didn't go out, and he didn't plan to go out, but he couldn't resist Zhuang Zhaoxue and was dragged out. A man and six women, walking on the street is very eye-catching, fortunately, Zhuang Zhaoxue has simply changed everyone's appearance, they are all in their thirties, otherwise, a big man with six beauties wanders around the city every day, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of gossip.
On the fourth day, the six of them got together again, and Liu Hanyan shouted: "Sister Xiaosha, don't take us to eat and drink again, we have gained a lot of weight in the past few days, and it is estimated that they will sink in the water, and they will not become mermaids." Xiaosha looked down and thought for a while, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have a good place to go, I'll take you there." ”
Everyone followed her gaze, but under the blue sky and white clouds, there were a few kites floating in the air, and Li Zhixian asked, "Xiaosha, are you taking us to fly kites?" Xiao Sha said: "Sister Li is so smart, how did you guess it?" But I'll teach you how to make it first...... We people love kites and think that kites bring good luck, and there are often kite flying competitions, and if an important guest comes, they will welcome them with beautiful kites. After a few days of rice harvesting, every family here will fly kites to celebrate the harvest. ”
Xiaosha led everyone to a secluded place, an alley less than a foot wide zigzag into it, and on both sides it was full of low houses, which looked simple and simple. Along the bluestone road, several people stopped in front of a house in the alley, Xiaosha said: "Most of this alley is for business, making all kinds of handicrafts, many of the bamboo products in my father's shop are made here, my uncle lives here, he and Daddy are fellow villagers." ”
Xiaosha said as he walked into the house. The house is inconspicuous outside, but when you enter the gate, it is a deep courtyard, walking through the patio, and behind it is a two-story building, the house is a brick and wood structure, with thick wooden pillars to bear the load, the ground is paved with stone slabs, and the hall on the first floor is separated by a mackerel fan and screen door, and the layout is compact, typical Jiangnan residential system.
There were six or seven people in the hall who were busy, and there were a lot of bamboo sticks and bamboo poles piled up on the ground, and when they heard someone coming in, one of them raised his head and asked, "Xiaosha is here, who are these guests?" Xiao Sha responded: "Uncle, these are all my friends, let's make a few kites by ourselves." And Liu Zhaohui and the six people were introduced to Uncle one by one, and the two sides had met, because the six of them were easy to become ordinary appearances, and did not attract Uncle's attention, but said: "The kite festival is coming, we are in a hurry to make a batch of kites, a few guests, you are free to do it yourself." ”
Xiao Sha responded: "I know, uncle, you are busy, let's tie a crescent paper kite by ourselves, it will be fine in a while." He brought everyone to a table, and selected the bamboo strips by himself, explaining and doing his hands, "These bamboos are carefully selected by my uncle, and they must grow towards the east to tie the kite, so that the sun god will attach it to the kite and bring good luck......
Xiaosha sharpened the bamboo strips with a knife, and with the help of several people, he quickly tied a crescent-shaped skeleton, almost more than one person high, and took a thin layer of silk paper and carefully pasted several layers. Equip the wings with bamboo whistles, Xiaosha said, so that the kite will buzz when it flies and drive away evil. After a pause, when the silk paper is flat, he takes a paintbrush and draws a symmetrical floral pattern on the silk paper.
Liu Zhaohui saw that several women were so busy that he couldn't intervene himself, so he simply watched the handicrafts placed in the patio. When Li Zhixian saw it, he remembered something, and said to Liu Hanyan: "Sister Liu, we might as well make a few fans, so that our Ruthless Gang is different." Liu Hanyan said happily: "Yes, why didn't I remember it...... Sister Xiaosha, you will teach us how to make folding fans in a while, okay? ”
"The folding fan is more particular about the materials, the size of the fan bone must be neat and consistent, and then hollow out the side bones, fill in the spices, this is better, it is very troublesome to make, but what ......about it" Before the words were finished, Xiaosha had already turned around and entered the hall, not much effort, and brought six folding fans, "My uncle has ready-made folding fans, these are not bad, the fan surface is also blank, you can write and draw what you like." ”
Zhou Qingzhu said happily: "This is good, there are ready-made paints, and I will personally paint a few beautiful bamboos." Jin Minhui sneered and said: "You should save the province, don't spoil such a good folding fan for you, or take it back to paint for Brother Wang." Xiao Sha remembered something, turned around and took out a folding fan again, and handed it to Liu Hanyan: "I forgot about the bad general." ”
"What a bad general, it's a stinky durian, he doesn't want to come out with us these days, and he doesn't know what he is discussing, sneaky." Liu Hanyan put away the folding fan, saw that the kite had been ready, and asked, "Sister Xiaosha, where are we going to fly the kite now?" ”
Xiaosha tidied up the crescent paper kite, brought the online wheel, and greeted the uncle, everyone went out of the alley, did not return along the original road, but moved forward through the alley, and suddenly brightened in front of them: there is a bay pond at the mouth of the alley, and the pool is a lawn, not planted with tall village trees like other places, and the surrounding vision is broad.
There are some people flying kites on the lawn, and there are more than a dozen flowers, birds, insects and fish floating in the air, in different forms, mostly with crescent moons. A few people listened to Xiaosha say as they walked: "We fly kites here and there is a legend, a long time ago, a farmer met a lost little girl, took her home and raised her like his own daughter, and the crops in the village were very good in those years." But one day, for some reason, the little girl was kicked out of the house, and after that, the harvest became worse and worse.
Later, someone told the farmer that the little girl was the rice god in charge of the rice fields, and that in order to be forgiven, it was necessary to make a beautiful thing and lift it into the air to show her repentance. So everyone thought of making a kite, and the kite had a long line that went up to the sky, and the rice god saw it, so he forgave them, and the harvest was better again. ”
Liu Hanyan asked with a smile: "Sister Xiaosha, are you the rice god?" "Then who is the farmer?" Zhuang Zhaoxue asked with a smile.
