Chapter 31: Make a Wish
The Honghou Mansion prepared a sumptuous banquet to entertain the grandsons.
After the banquet, Gongsun Du and Li Dang left the Honghou Mansion.
Liu Ling also said goodbye to Liu Zhang, this time it did not achieve the expected goal.
Liu Zhang gave her some recipes and kitchen utensils, as well as a lot of paper for various purposes.
Gongsun Du inspected the situation of the Red Marquis State, which was also one of his tasks.
There is no need for Liu Zhang to accompany him, Xu Xuan looked at the back of his younger brother leaving.
She felt very uncomfortable and didn't know if there would be a chance to meet in the future.
After dinner, Liu Zhang took Chen Yun and Xu Jian to the back garden.
Xu Jian has been sullen, and Liu Zhang can understand her mood.
He also did his best, and Li Dang promised him that he would not punish Lan Xuan.
Li Kang is a man of his word, and their sister and brother will have a chance to meet again.
Liu Zhang pointed to the folded paper lamp on the ground, which was the Kong Ming lantern of later generations.
"You want me to see this, what's the point?"
Chen Yun asked Liu Zhang curiously, and she reached out to touch it.
The paper lamp on the floor is thin and light to hold.
"This is the wishing lamp, when it is lit and it is lifted into the air, you can make a wish."
"Didn't you make a wish to go to the temple, you don't know."
In the Honghou Kingdom, there are many people who go to make wishes and pray every day.
"It's a very special way to make a wish, and later, I'll light the lamp. You silently make a wish in your heart, don't say it, or it won't work. ”
I don't know if this way of making a wish is very popular in the 22nd century.
This is also a way for Liu Zhang to coax Chen Yun and Xu Xuan, if conditions permit.
Of course, Liu Zhang will make some fireworks, and the fireworks will bloom in the air.
The fireworks that bloom look pleasing to the eye, and the gunpowder used to make fireworks is not easy to get.
It is possible to make a hot air balloon. Sitting on it can look down on the ground.
The material is not difficult to obtain, but it does not guarantee absolute safety.
"Then light it, I'm going to make a wish."
Chen Yun originally planned to go to the Houtu Shrine the day after tomorrow to make a wish and pray for him, but Chen Yun didn't know if this way of wishing was spiritual?
Liu Zhang lit the Kong Ming lantern and waited for the Kong Ming lantern to rise.
The paper lamp, which is as thin as a cicada's wings, gradually expands, and the paper lamp slowly rises into the air.
Chen Yun and Xu Mian felt that it was really amazing, and it was the first time they saw a flying lamp.
"Alang, this is what you came up with."
Of course, Xu Xuan hopes that this is created by Liu Zhang, which means that Liu Zhang is very powerful.
"Child, starting today. You are a free man, and you will call me Lang Jun in the future. ”
Xu Zheng is used to being called. It didn't change for a while.
"Lang Jun. Thank you for helping me and my brother so much. I don't know how to repay. Xu Zheng burst into tears with excitement.
"Don't say that, you have to remember. You and Yun'er are my women, and you should help you. ”
Liu Zhang gently hugged the two girls, but his heart was beautiful.
Chen Yun is fine. Xu Zheng's mood suddenly improved.
She is really favored, and she wants to repay Liu Zhang well.
"This wishing lamp was conceived by me, and you will know after a little inquiry, there is no such thing in Dahan."
Liu Zhang can only say with a cheeky face that he invented it himself. That is, to please the beloved woman.
Chen Yun has not been to too many places since he was a child, and he has also heard some character deeds.
Of course, Chen Yun and Xu Xuan believed that the wishing lantern was invented by their Lang Jun, and looked at the rising Kong Ming lantern.
"Hurry up and make a wish, you can only silently recite it in your heart. This kind of lamp can be improved, called a lantern,"
Liu Zhang knew very well that there were no lanterns at this time.
Then he will be the one who invented the lantern, and perhaps future generations will remember his name.
The two girls silently made a wish in their hearts, and also hoped that the wish would come true as soon as possible.
"I wish Lang Jun a long and healthy life, many sons and blessings, and a prosperous career."
The wishes made by the two daughters were all for Liu Zhang, and they would make a wish for him after two days of going to the Earth God Palace.
"Lang Jun, we have made a wish, you may have a wish."
They asked Liu to be willing not to waste this good opportunity.
Liu Zhang made gestures and made wishes like them, he was making good wishes for the two girls.
"I wish Yun'er and Jin'er a long and healthy life, and be happy every day."
Of course, this requires him to work hard so that his wish can be realized.
Liu Zhang didn't know when he would be reused by Liu Che.
If you want to be an official and a half-job, you have to be recommended.
"I may have a wish, but we don't say it, maybe we can make it happen."
"Lang Jun is reasonable, such a good way to make a wish, it is better to promote it."
The two women watched as the Kong Ming lantern rose higher and higher, and the Kong Ming lantern floated into the distance.
I'm afraid it's useless to make another wish, everyone in Honghou Mansion has a wish.
"Some of them rested and didn't bother them. After two days, light the wishing lamp and let them make a wish together. ”
Liu Zhang didn't want to disturb them at this time, as long as Liu Zhang said a word.
The entire Honghou Mansion slaves and maids will obey his arrangement, and it is better to fulfill their wishes or to do it in a down-to-earth manner.
Liu Zhang lit another Kong Ming lantern, and the two women felt that this was a bit of a waste.
"We've made a wish, light another wishing lamp. It should be useless, a bit of a waste. ”
"It's just lighting and playing, it's not a waste, these lights will burn in the air."
A Kong Ming lantern uses only a small amount of bamboo, tissue paper, and a little alcohol.
A Kong Ming lantern really doesn't cost much material, and there are many more in subspace watches.
"As long as Lang Jun is happy, the wish has been made, let's go back to the room to rest."
Xu Mian looked up at the Kong Ming lantern, and the fire flickered in the air.
The night watchman of the Red Marquis Mansion saw a red lantern floating in the air, and the fire flickered in the lantern.
They also saw that it was ascending from the Honghou Mansion, and they guessed that it was a new gadget put by the Honghou.
They were not surprised by this, and it was very quiet outside the Honghou Mansion.
People work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
During the Han Dynasty, a curfew was imposed at night, and it was not allowed to wander outside at will without special circumstances or official approval.
For ordinary Han Dynasty people, there was not much entertainment.
Liu Zhang also wanted to stay in the back garden for a while, looking at the starry sky at night and the two beautiful girls under the night sky.
Liu Zhang saw a few meteors in the sky streaking across the sky, let's have some more meteors.
"Look at the shooting stars in the sky, they look beautiful." Liu Zhang pointed to the sky.
The two girls looked at the sky, and then a few more meteors streaked by.
This natural phenomenon is not common, and the ancients certainly did not make a wish like a meteor.
"I've heard that streamers like this are like rain, and I don't know how this came to be."
"It's some meteorites flowing by, and there's comets streaked across the sky."
Liu Zhang used the simplest words to let them understand astronomical knowledge.
Talking to others about astronomical things was taboo in the imperial court.
In feudal times, ordinary people were not allowed to study astronomy.
The two daughters are the people he trusts the most, as long as they don't involve the topic of the imperial court.
Even if Xuan Yiwei heard it and reached Liu Che's ears, it didn't have much impact.
"Lang Jun, don't talk about such a topic in the future."
Xu Xuan looked around to see if anyone was eavesdropping.
Chen Yun then looked around, always feeling that there were people staring at them in the dark of the Honghou Mansion.
"Listen to you, and I won't talk about these topics in the future."
He also knew that there were Xuanyi guards watching nearby, and it was not necessarily a bad thing for them to stay in the Honghou Mansion.
As long as you are usually careful, even if someone slanders in front of Liu Che.
Xuanyiwei will report to Liu Che truthfully, and he will know what kind of person Liu Zhang is.
The three of them stood next to the artificial lake, looking up at the sky.
Meteors streaked across the sky in twos and threes, and the night sky was really beautiful tonight.
In five days, the moon will be full at night.
This made Liu Zhang think that spring plowing is coming, and everyone is also preparing for spring ploughing.
Women will also start picking mulberries and raising silkworms, and the same is true of the Honghou Mansion.
"The weather is warm, it's almost spring ploughing, and you will also be busy raising silkworms at that time."
"The plan of the year lies in the spring, and I hope for a bumper harvest this year."
Xu Xuan looked up at the sky and wished the people of the Han Dynasty abundant food and clothing this year, and other places would be free of disasters and difficulties.
In the first month of this year, people from the south and north fled here.
It has brought a lot of trouble to the Red Marquis Kingdom, but fortunately, the Red River Country has passed one difficulty after another.
Honghou Kingdom really can't tolerate more people affected by the disaster, Xu Mian has a hunch.
The wealthy merchants and nobles of the nearby counties would come to him and ask him to sell them some medicine.
Xu Jinzhen didn't want him to sell the medicine to them, and half a month ago they refused to help Honghou Guo for various reasons.
Those people will definitely say that the people's lives are as great as the sky, so that he cannot see death without help.
But when the Red Marquis encountered difficulties, who came to help him.
