Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] Flying

March [-]rd, Shangsi Day, is a traditional festival of the Han nationality. There is a month of Shangsi, when officials and people cleanse (clean) on the east-flowing water.On the last day of the Taihao Mausoleum Temple Fair, it is also the time when spring is warm and flowers are blooming. After a series of small-scale ancestor worship activities, relatives and friends gather in groups to drink, feast and go outing along the river. Huai, praising the beauty of spring and expressing the desire for a good harvest?

Although it is not as grand as the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Climbing Festival, it is full of elegance, blue waves and green grass, spring is bright and beautiful, spring... talented people and beautiful people yearn for it.Especially after the founding of the country with the Li surname in the Tang Dynasty, in order to flaunt their Han bloodlines, the rulers paid great attention to these unique solar terms of the Han people. They vigorously advocated and actively participated in them as holidays, as if their bloodlines had been pure enough...

"I won't go." The outing is good, but thinking of the tragedy of walking tens of kilometers along the Laba River in Lanling the year before last, it's better to avoid it.Besides, because Ying Ban's big belly can't be too bumpy, the family organized a small activity near the small river ditch in front of the door. Although it is not as good as the scenery of the weeping willows in the Bahe River, it has a unique flavor.

"Everyone has gone, and you are always ugly." As a member of the Li family, Princess Lanling has no reason to leave her alone. The eldest kite has been set up three or four times, and she waited for a competition on the edge of the Bahe River. It's over, the high-level contest that ladies from all walks of life are looking forward to, whoever can fly a high kite will have good luck this year and marry a good man, which makes these ladies excited.Pointing to the few kites hanging on the wall with a displeased expression on his face, "I made them all by myself, so you don't care about them, why don't you bring them over and let them fly high!"

"Don't worry, my daughter's house is playing. When you cut the rope, whose house do you expect the wind to fall to?" My wife, flying such a high kite is not afraid of being laughed at.With the cost of wasting so much good silk to weave kites, it is cost-effective to make two more clothes.He casually took one off to have a look, it was big and delicate, and he raised it over his head to attract the wind, good guy, it’s not a big problem to tie a Wangcai and fly. "That's right, I'll take one back, and you won't be able to put so many."

"Stop moving!" Lan Ling was a little annoyed.Pushed me, and I was holding the big kite to catch the wind, but this time I didn't stand firmly, I tripped under my feet, the kite was buckled on my head, and I rolled away with me. The person was fine, and the kite was hopeless.Lan Ling screamed, squatting on the ground playing with the broken kite, with a painful expression on his face, tearing at me with tears. "Pay! You pay!"

"Why do you pay for it? It's okay, it's okay, don't worry." He got up bitterly, feeling a little sorry for breaking the girl's things, so he quickly comforted her a few times.Pick up the kite and put it on the soft couch for rescue.I broke two of the three thick main bamboo strips in the middle, and the other one seemed to be broken and drooping. It was a major accident and I was paraplegic at a high level.Already planted a kite.I turned my face and smiled dryly at Lan Ling, Lan Ling's resentful eyes looked at me with a sense of frustration, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and took out a handkerchief and wrapped it up at the broken place. Shake a few times, "Okay!"

"Go to hell!" As the kite drooped down again in desperation, Lan Ling finally erupted, angrily being dragged to the ground by the poor thing with a weak body and a strong will.A few feet down humane destruction.Unable to relieve her hatred, she gritted her teeth and turned to me again, with her sleeves rolled up...

"Stop!" At the speed of life and death, he quickly twisted his waist and took a step back, and stretched his elbows to protect his upper body, "I have a way!"

"You have a fart way!" Lan Ling broke through my defense line with one palm, and then he was already close to him, feeling a tightness in his chest.He tripped over something on his heel and rolled onto the soft couch.

"There is a way." Quickly rolled into the soft couch a few times to temporarily avoid the attack, and shouted in a hurry: "No force!"Hastily said: "Either beat you up, or pay you a high-end one, one choice!"

"No," Lan Ling refused, and put down his raised arm, angrily said: "There are additional terms, or I will choose more!"

"Single-choice, really, I'll pay you back." Got up to catch his breath, with a harmless expression on his face, the kite's corpse writhed a few times in pain, it's a pity.Originally, the outer skin was still usable, and it would be a new one if you replaced a few spines, but Lan Ling stepped on it countless times in frustration. ... Cautiously asked: "This, it will take more than half an hour to draw it?"

"Two days!" Lan Ling sat down on the soft couch with a pout, "Draw one for me in about half an hour."

"Oh, it's the day after tomorrow, so there's still time. Let's do it again today." Throwing out a pile of garbage rolls, he took Lanling's hand and comforted him: "Do you want to make paper?" The silk-faced me I can't do it, but paper is the best. When I was young, I was an expert. Three leaves, airplanes, cats with faces and tails. It's at your fingertips.In this era, kites were a luxury item. Rich people used silk as their outer skin. Silk was not as good as paper for a ride, and it weighed too much, so kites were made big and clumsy. Tofu cubes, no creativity.It is far less exquisite than paper kites.

"What kind of paper? I'll talk about it when I go up, and I'm lying to whom." Lan Ling hates me for perfunctory her, and every time I get angry, I become preoccupied, and I can't do anything wrong. "If you don't pay, you are not allowed to leave, but I worked hard for three days to finish it."

"Didn't you say two days!"

"Two days are painted skins. It doesn't take much effort for you to tie the strips?" Pushing me away, turning my face away, feeling that this appearance is not enough to express my inner resentment, kicked off my shoes and rolled on the soft couch to give me a hug. back.

"Oh, then you can bring Zhumi, and I'll give you a skeleton. As long as the paper from the house is absolutely fine, I will compensate you for the silk. Anyway, it is also sold in the workshop. The better one is more than a hundred coins, and I will compensate you. Ten." Patted Lan Ling on the back, "What are you fighting for, kites, they always cut the rope when they are too high, isn't it a one-shot deal?"

"The concubine's body is specially tied. You always say it is light and light. Just looking at such a thing, you don't know what other people think. If it is really a kite, I don't even think about burning ten or eight in the fire, but you Just take other people's wishes seriously." Lan Ling shook his shoulders and shook my hands away, "It's annoying, don't touch me."

"What an annoyance." Pulling Lan Ling over one by one, "I'll just pay you, and I'll pay if I don't prepare something. If you're humming, I'll go to the shop and buy one, and I won't even be in the mood to do it myself. Hurry!"

"Oh," Lan Ling punched me, and said angrily, "You're still reasonable, every time you start ignoring it, and you end it justifiably, don't you know if you're going to pay someone?"

"Why don't you make up for it? Hurry up and prepare while I'm in the mood. I won't be hungry at work. If I get hungry later, it's over. You can figure it out yourself." Pulling off Lanling's feet, she put on her shoes indiscriminately, urging: "Hurry up. Oh. By the way, the bamboo strips you made are too thick. They are thinner than curtains and softer. It is best to use the small layer of bamboo skin. The kind of land you use is only suitable for building houses." The little finger is as thick as bamboo strips.It looks majestic and majestic, but it is made out of arrogance and domineering. It is not at all like a kite used by a daughter. It is a gorgeous bed board in the sky.When it comes to bed, people with rich associations always find it very lewd.

Cotton rope, cotton thread, Lan Ling leaned against the table and carefully cut the bamboo strips with a knife, and laid them neatly on the soft couch.I'm very excited, I haven't touched this handicraft for many years, since the city was transformed, it was full of high-rise buildings.Not to mention kites, even sparrows are often killed.Now that I relive my childhood memories, with the help of my own mother-in-law beside me, I am extremely happy.

To select, separate the strips that make the main beam from the strips that go for a ride in the wings, take a Lanling soft ruler to carefully measure the length, and burn the curved strips at the middle point.If you want to come, come with a unique shape.Although it was a very embarrassing thing for a boy to pull a butterfly kite to run when he was young, but to show off his skills, he had to start with a fancy shape.

"I'm not angry anymore." Lanling split the bamboo strips and suddenly raised his head and smiled at me, threw away the saber in his hand, put his head on my legs, and laughed out of embarrassment.

"Be careful, don't knock me sideways." Letting go of the bamboo strips in his hands, he raised his knees to support Lan Ling's head, "Help me, give me a hand."

"It's still fine hair." Lan Ling held onto the branch and made a cross, seeing me crossing the wrapped thread, a little surprised, "A man is better at this job than a woman, and he is still a master of skill."

"That's right, hold it up, I'll open your eyes for you." Pull half of the bamboo raft and stretch it in a half arc, wrap it tightly with the wind-eating thread, and only use the floating strip to hold the half of the empty wing, which is very aerodynamic Principle, high-tech product.The skeleton was tied up in less than half an hour, very comfortable, and the skill was better than before.

"Small." Lan Ling took the skeleton and played with it in his hands, looking sideways and vertically, "How can such a small thing fly up? Be careful not to fall upside down."

"What do you know, paint the colors, paint the paper and then paste it." Unlike silk kites, paper kites have to be painted first and then pasted, or the paper will shrink and easily crack when it is dry after being exposed to dye.Of course, the bamboo paper of this era is easy to break if it is not dry. How about I improve the papermaking process and improve the quality of the paper? Today I know that it is not for the purpose of spreading cultural fire, but just for paste kites. "Large paper, better painting." After the assignment, I felt unsatisfied. I found some thinner bamboo strips and tied more than a dozen small crosses on the palm of my hand, and connected them with cotton thread to form an inverted triangle. The classic string of swallows, just wait Swallows drawn in an inverted triangle are blurred, and a series of more than a dozen are let out to rippling in the wind to be beautiful, which is much more touching than the random floating of bed boards.

"Always have a lot of strange ideas." After working for a long time, the two of them leaned on the soft couch to appreciate the handicrafts. Lan Ling took the butterflies and looked at them overjoyed. "Can you fly?"

"Try to know, it's still early, I'll bring you the string kidnapper and put it in the garden behind." It's not a kite test, but I really want to try the rare ground string kidnapper.

The craftsmanship of Lanling paste kites is not good, but the wire guillotines are exquisitely made, with pentagonal copper ridged wire shafts hanging on the shiny yellow gold-coated handles, and exquisite silver clips for threading are wrapped at both ends of the connected three-pronged wheel of boxwood. , when walking along the line, a bunch of grape bells on the silver clip made bursts of cheerful and melodious ringing sounds, and when the line was taken up, the whistle of the peach stone inlaid on the three-prong wheel combined with the sound of the bells was even more wonderful.

It's so good to be a princess, even flying a kite is different from others, just the bunch of grape bells and the walnut wind whistle can be taken alone as ancestral treasures.Recalling the imitation of this kind of crutches seen at the kite festival back then, a young and rich lady didn't even know her last name when she took the crutches, and said '[-]! ’, those who know are talking about the value of a kidnapper, those who don’t know think that the chick played mahjong tiles last night.

"Thirty thousand!" After imitating that rich sister's appearance of holding a kidnapper, she gestured towards Lanling, it was too hateful, what I took was a treasure, not a rubbish imitation.

"Deal!" Lan Ling was a cheerful person.Without thinking, "Ming you bring the money, my family, [-] will be enough."

"arts?"

"Go to hell!"

It may be because the kidnapper is so good, the butterfly kite is a bit shy, and when it hits the ground, it feels embarrassed again, "It's okay, it's just been pasted. It's good when the paste is dry." After explaining indiscriminately, it changed to a string of swallows and stretched the thread on its back. Yes, the craftsmanship is good, the wind blows when I eat, I don’t even move my place, and I hear a crisp bell on the kidnapper, and the string of swallows has turned into a neat flock of swallows, spinning gracefully in the sky.

"It's like a real swallow." Lan Ling happily took the kidnapper and pulled the lead.The swallows in the air circled a few times with the stretching of the lead wire, and the posture became more realistic. "Why didn't you do it sooner? Fengzi is like this. He should have sprained everyone in the family."

He didn't reply, and sat down by the tree root.Patting the grass beside him, Lan Ling shook his head excitedly, leaning on the tree trunk to lock his eyes on the sky, constantly adjusting the height with the wind.I didn't sit down contentedly until the rope was almost finished on the turn of the line.

"I can't see it anymore." I looked up, and the swallows seemed to have disappeared, leaving only the blue sky.

"There are still a bunch of black spots, just look carefully." Lan Ling put down the copper support on the crutches and inserted them into the ground, letting the leads pull the wheels to make a pleasant sound, took off his shoes, and fell down comfortably on the grass. "It's considered to be the first prize at the competition. Is your husband unwilling to go?"

"I'll forget it this year. Besides, we won't be able to stay together if we go. Have fun."

"Well, I have to go," Lan Ling turned around comfortably, lay on my lap and hummed a little song, the melody couldn't be heard, but it was pleasant to the ears.Almost above my level. "Does it sound good?"

"Average. Not as strong as Cheng Chu's singing."

"Hehe..." lightly thumped my leg a few times, and asked with a smile, "I'm not busy recently? Why do you have time to come and spend a day with my concubine?"

"I'm also happy today. Qin Yu won the battle over there. After all, his students and teachers are also honorable, so they took the opportunity to lie and report to the army and ran away." He reached out and touched Lanling's round face, holding He got up and kissed, expressing the joy in his heart.

"As soon as you like it in your heart, are you the first to think of looking for me?" Lan Ling wrapped his arms around my neck and leaned over to pay back a couple of mouthfuls before lying down unsatisfied, "I'm always happy and worried, and you can be the first to come to me Just run."

"I'm happy to find you, and don't worry about it." Smiling and pinching her nose, "You are forcing me to worry. I will go back to my mother-in-law and cry. There will always be something that loves me, so forget it."

After hearing this, Lan Ling laughed out loud, "So you're biased towards me? You've forced my husband to worry, and if there's any happy event, he will go to me." After saying this, he sighed softly, "I didn't go to your house. Your two wives wish to cut me alive. In fact, I know that you are more on my side."

"That won't be the case. I'll show more love to the two women at home. You're being too sentimental." He looked up for the kite nonchalantly, grabbed the weeds and tore them a few times.

Lan Ling got used to my tone, and smiled indifferently, "Do you feel ashamed to like an old woman like me?"

"That's not true, I'm not old anyway." Leaning on the tree trunk and stretching his waist, he said with a smile: "Half to half, wholeheartedly can't do it. My two wives don't care as much as you do. If I like you more, I will suffer."

"Very stubborn," Lan Ling stretched out his hand and poked me in the face, "To be honest, I can't die, so I don't know how to make people happy once."

"Hey, you are so beautiful. Put away the wind, and I will go back to eat."

Lanling stretched her limbs beautifully, "Wait a minute, why are you in a hurry. It's rare that we didn't talk about the disgusting things about the inner palace and the Wang family today, so let me be more comfortable and don't rush to leave."

"Oh, that's right. I forgot if you didn't tell me, Long You Shang... Oh, why are you pinching?"

"I'm the most reluctant to say these things. Longyou won't be able to reach the capital even if it's set on fire, don't talk about it out of joy." Lan Ling shook the bracelet in his hand, suddenly remembered something, got up and looked into the armband for a while , squeezed two glass beads and handed them to me, "For you, the two roundest ones."

"Gift?" The glass marbles are considered valuables. Throw one lightly, hold the one in your hand and put it between the index finger and thumb, aim, launch, and hit.

"Trash everything," Lan Ling typed with a smile, "The group of people who came back from the ocean will go to Beijing quickly, and quickly send some gadgets over, so you don't take it seriously."

"Don't tell me to bring back a few boats of glass beads, be careful and I will ask you to pay back the share." Picking up the marbles and looking into the sun, yes, the hit was very powerful, and a small piece of the contact point has been smashed, and then rounded Also worthless to scrap. "I told you that this thing is not as valuable as you imagined, and now this rotten craftsmanship is not very useful, so why don't you listen to it?"

"Your toilet water is not as valuable as I thought. Didn't I buy it over and over again? Stupid, who is crazy to pull a few boats of this thing back, and just ask the root cause to find out the whole story. Since you are grabbed by the neck, you will die. If you come to the recipe, people who make glazed beads will not be so generous."

"Oh," nodded, "It's the same method as sticking my neck, just a little bit of swipe and pull. Foreigners are not as unyielding as I am, and they will give in soon. You toss slowly."
