Brother so proud
Chapter 77 (1)

Since the insect disease is caused by the fragrance, the fragrance should be stimulated to the extreme, and the adult insects will be gathered in one place and set on fire. As for the larvae that will be attracted in the future, follow the method Xu Qingsheng said.
He Ze pulled out a few Angelica dahurica seedlings and put them in a pile on the path. When he first used the ability, the originally clear and light fragrance in the air immediately became richer, even a little pungent.
After about a while, there was a rustling sound in the ground, and a caterpillar about the thickness of an adult man's little finger crawled into the pile of Angelica dahurica along the gap, followed by the second, and the third... until several Baizhi trees There was no space left on Miao's body, and everything was covered by dense caterpillars.
The bright moon is shining brightly, shining on the pile of Angelica dahurica full of caterpillars, like a clear green stone, if the fine, swimming lines on it are ignored.
The rustling sound lasted for a while, during which Wangfu barked fiercely a few times, but none of the caterpillars frightened away, and even large areas of land came one after another.
He Ze combed the hair on Wangfu's back, took out the pine oil that had been prepared at his waist, and lit the fire with a fire pocket. Without a stick of incense, only a pile of black ashes was left on the spot.
This was repeated twice, until no caterpillars crawled over for a long time, He Ze lightly spread his palm, and a green vine flew from the forest to his hand.
"Woof - woof woof -" Wangfu stared at He Ze without blinking, barking and took two steps back.
"Be good, don't move, or you will be stewed when you go back."
He Ze threatened a few words, regardless of whether Wangfu could understand or not, he swung the rattan cane towards the opposite mountain forest twice, with little force, but the sound of the wind piercing through the sky was very clear in this quiet night.
His ability is now at the third level, and it is a piece of cake to transfer the vitality of the vegetation in the mountains, and this vitality is not a serious problem to these vegetation in the mountains, but it can be restored in a day.
Dots of green starlight rose above the mountain forest, and then slowly fell towards the ground of Angelica dahurica, like a wonderful meteor shower.Wangfu took two deep breaths, and suddenly rushed into the Baizhi field desperately.
"Don't trample on the green shoots, or you won't be allowed to eat meat for three days."
Before the sound fell, Wangfu, who stopped in an emergency, fell on his back. Before he had time to feel the difficulty of the dog's life, a light spot invisible to ordinary people fell on it in the next second, and then disappeared invisible.
The unspeakable comfort made Wangfu couldn't help but want to bark twice, but his gaze went away when he touched He Ze behind him, and he just turned over and got up and stood quietly on the spot.
He Ze threw away the cane and didn't look at it, just sat casually on the grass by the side of the road, leaning against the half-decayed stake behind him, closing his eyes and recuperating.
It was not until the middle of the night that Wangfu jumped up and rubbed his arm, and one person and one dog set off on their way home.
The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the moonlight seems to be brighter. The Angelica dahurica seedlings in the field stand upright one by one, and the tender green leaves exude a jade-like luster.On the wooden stake that He Ze was leaning on just now, a bud had sprouted at some point, swaying his short and fat body against the night wind.
On the second day, He Ze didn't get up until the sun was high. He had just eaten two meat-filled pancakes when Father He's joyful voice came from outside the yard.
"Good thing, good thing! Ozawa! Come out, Bai Zhi is alive and growing well, not dead!"
Before He Ze could answer, Li Shi and He An from the stove came out first, "Did you see clearly? Are you all right? Do you need to water some water in the afternoon?"
"No, no, no," He Youcai waved his hand, grinning to the ears, "It looks better than the previous days, it's alive, it's really alive!"
"That's fine, that's fine!"
Mrs. Li grabbed the corner of her clothes and wiped her hands, her face full of joy.For a moment, both of them forgot the cold war of the past few days.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Li took He An to the field, and brought back some green vegetables from the vegetable garden. Father He also brought back two good news from the clan elders—the land clan that he wanted to buy would be sold within two days. After the handover was done, Lin Da was also found, and he was going to be sent to the Yamen after the Lantern Festival.
With three happy events in one day, Mrs. Li was indescribably relaxed, and even looked at the old man He was pleasing to the eye. In the evening, he not only killed a chicken, but also opened the half jar of wine left over from the New Year's Eve.
"Father, this is a good opportunity."
At the table, Mrs. Li was chatting with He An and laughing, He Ze pushed Father He's elbow.The latter glanced at He Ze, then at Li Shi, stood up abruptly, picked up the wine jar and leaned over to pour a glass for Li Shi, seeing Li raised his eyes, he poured himself another glass.
The small square table fell silent, and the two little ones looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
"Colorful clouds," He Youcai picked up the cup, and he didn't know whether he had drunk alcohol or what, his dark face was slightly reddish under the candlelight.
He is not an outgoing person, and he rarely calls Li's boudoir name, let alone in front of the child now.
"I've been the bastard for the past few days. My mind is not clear. It not only made you angry, but also worried the two children. Now in front of them, He Youcai will apologize to you!"
Father He's words became smoother and smoother, and without waiting for Li Shi to speak, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and then poured another glass.
"Since we've come to this point, I'm not afraid of the children's jokes. For so many years, I really feel sorry for you, Mu, for making him suffer..." He Youcai's voice was slightly choked, and he poured another cup After drinking, I wanted to pour it again, but Mrs. Li held down the jar.
"What to drink! Are you trying to apologize to me, or is it for this wine?" Mrs. Li gave him an annoyed look, "Ozawa told me that when you came home, you heard Ah Mu and me in the kitchen. You can remember what Eminem said clearly, and you still take it all to your heart, why don't you remember what I said?"
"Caiyun...my baby, I..."
"You and I have been married for 20 years. Ozawa and An Geer are both so old. Why don't we suffer? After so many years, no matter how hard life is, it is as hard as when I married you back then?"
At that time, He Youcai's father passed away, and all the money owed by the gambling shop was recorded on He Youcai. For the foreign debt of seventy-eight taels, Li Shi was able to marry him regardless, and he really gave it up.
"If I had asked for money, I would not have married you in the first place. At the beginning, I was only asking for you. I recognized both good and bad, not to mention... What's more, as long as you are in this family, you are the best." of!"
Perhaps these words were too intimate, after finishing speaking, Li Shi lowered her head and took a sip of her wine, while He Youcai was still half-bent, staring at him blankly.
He Ze suddenly felt that he and He An were just two big light bulbs, which were an eyesore. He gestured with his eyes, and got up and picked up a chicken leg for He An, and another for himself, and the two held the bowls one after another out of the room.
He An, who was walking behind, closed the door with great interest.
Li's craftsmanship is very good. The chicken is stewed with dried mountain mushrooms, which is delicious and tender.That night, the two brothers sat on the stone steps in front of the house, gnawed on chicken legs, and listened to their parents' corners, and they didn't go back to the room one after another until the moonlight was getting colder.
For several days in a row, Father He and Li Shi were as sweet as honey, even if their eyes met, they would look at each other and smile, revealing a deep affection.
Heh, He Ze was almost blinded.As for He An... Well, he is still a child.
As a result, He Ze, who was deeply shocked, either ran to his daughter-in-law's house, or stayed in the room alone, and even had to yell at He An before coming out to eat, and he didn't know what he was doing.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that He Youcai came back from a stroll around the new courtyard under construction, when He Ze pulled him into the room and stuffed him with a stack of paper with strange pictures drawn in charcoal on it.
"what is this?"
"Chair, this is called a rocking chair. The chair surface can be woven with bamboo strips, and the bottom is a semi-curved wooden base. It can be tilted forward and backward to achieve a perfect balance, and it will not easily fall over." The drawing on the first page It is a modern rocking chair. Although the artist is not very good, the basic structure is still clear after He Ze grinds it for two days, "Well, it is much more comfortable than the current chairs on the market. What do you think of lying on it and basking in the sun? "
He Youcai was still puzzled at first, but his eyes widened before He Ze finished speaking.After working in carpentry for more than ten years, why has he never seen this thing before?
"This is a baby stroller, which is for children aged one to three. It is very convenient for traveling with children. The materials are also bamboo strips and wood. The wheels under it can be made of iron or wood." Waiting for congratulations With the return of the God of Wealth, He Ze turned to the second page.
"The third page is a folding round table, which is also for convenience. I can't explain two sentences clearly. I will think about it when you make it. The fourth page is a clothes hanger, which is used for drying clothes. It is simple, compact and practical... the latter is mostly novelty Wooden products, and finally some flower stands for the flower shop, you will be troubled."
"This this……"
He Youcai was still in a sluggish state. Although he was honest, he was not stupid. If these things he had never heard of or seen before could be made as his son said, then, that would be really...
"Father, there are dozens of things, big and small. When you make them all, the flower shop will almost open. We will use the profit to open another wood shop. Some of them will make a profit. You will also give it to me when the time comes." Tom bought a yard in town."
"Ozawa, you...how did you come up with this? Can you really do it?" He Youcai was very uneasy because he didn't believe it.
"Father, you spent so much money to let me study. I didn't read the book well. I have to learn something else, right? Most of these should be made. If you don't believe me, just try."
Seeing He Youcai's blushing face due to excitement, He Ze raised his eyebrows, it's not in vain that he has worked so hard to draw these pictures these days.After a long time, some simple ones are fine, but he needs to think about the complicated ones for a long time, even painting five or six times before he can draw clearly.
As far as the painter is concerned, his hand disability has been doomed since the kindergarten class.
He Youcai stared blankly at the blueprint in his hand, his heart was full of agitation.
Originally, he had figured it out after toasting with his son E'mu to make amends that day, but he felt a little regretful in his heart. Now that his son gave him such a big gift, if he could really make these things, he would give them to Caiyun. Buy a big yard in town...with the money he makes, with the money he makes carpentry!
Thinking of this, He Youcai felt his heart pounding, and he couldn't stop exerting himself, wishing he could pick up the curved ruler and plane and hug the wood immediately.
It has to be said that what He Ze said hit his nails.Not giving Li a good life, and being looked down upon by Yue's family. For so many years, even clay figurines have three-pointed nature. This matter has become He Youcai's heart disease. After this attack, there will be another one. If you want to cure it, you can only look at these blueprints.
He Youcai, who held the blueprints as his treasure, closed the closed door, and He Ze went to work as a supervisor in the new yard for him, and Lin Yu was brought over by He An from time to time to deliver some food.The days passed leisurely, watching most of the courtyard gradually take shape, and the day of Lantern Festival came.
The sun had just set that day, and He Ze, who had just eaten half a bowl of Lantern Festival balls, was urged by Mrs. Li to pick up Lin Yu. He An also followed, and a group of three people drove towards the town in a bullock cart under the moonlight. go.
Lantern festival
Perhaps because of the festival, even though it is night, the road is not quiet. The closer you get to the entrance of the town, the louder the noise of firecrackers, gongs and drums. Occasionally, when you walk to a high ground, you can faintly see lights gathered in the distance, colorful and bizarre.
Presumably the Lantern Festival has already begun.
This is a custom handed down along with the Lantern Festival in this era, and it has many similarities with China.People come out of their homes one after another on this day, entertaining friends, playing dragon and lion dances, admiring the lanterns and the moon, which is very lively.
There were few entertainments in ancient times, and it was rare for the whole people to enjoy such a day. Even though this is just a small town thousands of miles away from the bustling Kyoto, the festive atmosphere is very strong.
You can get a glimpse of it by listening to the endless sound of firecrackers.
He Ze was sitting in the front driving the car, and He An, who was sitting in the back, couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. It was Lin Yu who also raised the corners of his mouth this time.
"Brother, it's really lively. I was busy at home last year, so I didn't catch up." A cool night breeze blew by, He An gathered his thin jacket and waistcoat, and said with a smile, "It's almost here, I can smell the aroma of fried melon seeds."
"Your nose is even better than Wangfu!" He Ze snorted, before his voice fell, he heard Lin Yu who was sitting beside him sneezed, and hurriedly turned his head back, "Are you all right? I specially asked Eminem to prepare two pieces of clothes to put inside, and you and Xiaoan each quickly put on one piece, it’s early spring and it’s still late at night.”
"Tsk, brother, why have you never thought you were so careful before?" He An's tone was so tactful, but his hands swiftly pulled out two clothes, one for Lin Yu, one for Lin Yu. I covered myself outside, "Brother Lin, this time I'm thanks to you."
As he spoke, he rolled his eyes at He Ze, his eyes full of accusations.
I don't know if it was because of the red lantern on the wooden post in front of him, Lin Yu's face was a little red, but he said in a helpful way: "You are talking nonsense, but I will help you watch it in the future, so that he can't forget it!"
"Why? Are you in a hurry to exercise your rights as the housekeeper's wife?" The voice was full of jokes.
Seeing that Zhenkou was just ahead, He Ze flicked his whip, and Lao Huang ran faster and faster.
"He Ze!" Lin Yu's face was obviously really red this time, but he didn't know whether it was from shame or anger.
"However, Xiaosheng loves it so much. When we get married in two months, I ask my wife to give me some advice."
The bullock cart stopped, and He Ze jumped off. Before he let go of the whip, he bowed to Lin Yu.He had a smile on his face, his tough facial features had a gentle taste, and he was wearing a round-neck Confucian shirt in the style of a scholar specially made by Li Shi. When he flicked his sleeves and bowed, he looked suave and suave. , The gentleman is elegant.
Lin Yu would never admit that he was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously put his fist on his lips and coughed twice. When he raised his head, he saw He Ze was looking at him with the same posture, and all the embarrassing words in his mind suddenly All forgotten.
I never thought that the beauty trick doesn't usually work.
Seeing Lin Yu's absent-minded eyes, the arc of He Ze's mouth deepened, and his smile became more and more like a fox.
"Brother, Brother Lin... You guys, have you seen enough?" He An's expression on the side was indescribable.
The same goes for Lin Ge... Alas, two days ago, Brother Lin had the nerve to talk about Father and Mu. He and Brother Lin are almost as good as each other!The most pitiful thing is myself...
If it wasn't for the rare opportunity, he wouldn't want to be in the middle of these two people!His eyes turned back and forth on He Ze and Lin Yu, and He An almost had the four characters "Life without love" on his head.
Fortunately, He Ze didn't know what his little brother was thinking.
Because of He An's unbearable utterance, Lin Yu finally came back to his senses, and then his face turned red, he hurriedly turned his head and jumped out of the car to cover up: "It's all here, get out of the car!"
Seeing Brother Lin's gaffe, He An almost laughed out loud, but the next second he received a stare from his elder brother, so he had to hold back his smile and change the subject, "Well, where should we go first?" ? It's still early."
Once a year, he has to have fun.
He Ze put the two baskets together on his back, and couldn't help rubbing He An's head twice, "It's up to you, we can go shopping first, buy whatever we want, brother pays the bill."
"Yeah, thank you brother." He An nodded heavily, turned around and ran ahead like a runaway wild horse.He Ze took Lin Yu's hand and hurriedly followed behind, "Slow down! There are many people on the street, so don't get lost."
"I know, I know!"
He An picked up the pink rabbit lamp from the stall next to him, turned around and made faces at the two of them laughingly.
He Ze turned his head and smiled at Lin Yu.
He An twitched the corners of his mouth, and refocused his attention on the booths on both sides.Moving from one stall to another, from dried fruit preserves to melon seed snacks, from pancakes with stinky tofu to candied haws, within a short while, the bamboo basket behind He Ze was already half full.
After eating three or four candied haws, Lin Yu stared at the remaining candied haws on the wooden handle, feeling sour in his stomach, and subconsciously frowned.He Ze felt it was funny, but he raised his hand to hold Lin Yu's wrist, and with his hand, he fed the remaining candied haws into his mouth slowly, and finally said, "It's so sweet."
fart!Obviously sour!
Lin Yu retorted righteously in his heart, but between his lips and teeth, he recalled the slight sweetness left by the thin layer of sugar coating on the hawthorn, so he could only stare at He Ze bitterly.
"Clap clap clap..."
"Dangdangdangdang..."
"Dong dong dong dong..."
He Ze wanted to say something more, but at this time there was another burst of firecrackers, followed by the sound of gongs and drums, interspersed with the cries of vendors, the laughter of tourists, and the music of silk and bamboo in restaurants and theaters. Sounds, all kinds of sounds merged into a line, the rhythm was cheerful and deafening.
As the sound of gongs and drums approached, he embraced Lin Yu with one hand and greeted He An with the other, and the three of them followed the crowd to the corner of the street.Before standing still, a group of men in yellow silk clothes held the fire dragon above their heads and headed towards them in a mighty manner. Several other people walked back and forth under the fire dragon with various "clouds" alone. , The tail of the dragon rises and falls, and the flame-like giant dragon shakes its head and tail, and hides among the clouds from time to time, attracting cheers from tourists.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" He An's hands clapped loudly.
"Does it look good?" He Ze leaned over Lin Yu's ear, the hot air that spewed out made the latter's neck itchy.
"It looks good!" Lin Yu smiled brightly.
When the dragon dance team passed by, it was already Xu time. "Are you two hungry? If you are hungry, let's go to the shopkeeper to have a meal first, if you are not hungry..."
"I'm not hungry, I'm full from snacks, let's go guess the lantern riddles!" He Ze was interrupted by He An before he finished speaking.
"I'm not hungry either. Xiao'an wants to guess lantern riddles, so let's go to the Lantern Festival first. The Lantern Festival is also on East Street, which happens to be on the way. If you come back, you'll eat when you're hungry." Lin Yu agreed.
"In that case... let's go!" He Ze made a decision, and the three of them headed towards the East Street.Walking and stopping all the way, when we arrived at the high platform of the Lantern Festival, about two quarters of an hour had passed.
The location of the high platform was originally a theater, covering a large area. Later, the theater declined, and the owners of the theater often rented out the venue. It has been four or five years since then.For today's lantern festival, hundreds of bamboos and woods were used up and down the high platform. The bamboos and woods were undulating and strewn together to build a total of nine floors. Seven... Until the topmost lantern, there are different sizes, shapes and colors. From a distance, it looks like a lighthouse.
Even though they had been shopping for a long time, the three of them had seen quite a few lanterns, but they couldn't help being amazed when they saw such a lighthouse.
"Sure enough, it's still beautiful here..." He An looked at the lotus lantern above his head and muttered to himself.
"Of course, the lanterns here are all handpicked by the vendors in the town. They are naturally more delicate than the rest of the stalls." If not, it might be the biggest lantern in the town. We can't afford to build such a lighthouse.
"Then, that lamp can move!" Lin Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and he pulled He Ze's sleeve to look at the highest lamp.
He Ze followed his line of sight to look at the top of the tower, and all he saw was a six-page lantern, each page of silk paper was painted with exquisite pictures, flowers, birds, fish, insects and even characters were all lifelike, big and small in this The number one lighthouse.
Just thinking about it, this lantern is not enough to stand out among the lighthouses.It's strange that there is no wind at this moment, but every page of this lantern is spinning rapidly, and the objects change and the scene moves. The originally separated picture immediately becomes a picture of beauties dancing, which contrasts with flowers and birds. It's so wonderful. !
"Then... it should be a horse riding lamp. The heat generated by the burning of the candle creates airflow, which makes the wheel shaft rotate..." It is also called a revolving lantern in modern times. Its principle is similar to that of modern gas engines. It has appeared in the Qin and Han Dynasties of China. The wisdom of the people can be seen.
At that time, it seemed to be... a physics teacher?In order to let them understand this, a revolving lantern was specially dismantled.He Ze had a vague impression.
"Horse riding lights?" The thermal airflow behind them was obviously ignored by the two of them.The lantern festival will start in a while, and at this time, many people have gathered in front of the lighthouse. Hearing the conversation between the three, they subconsciously looked at He Ze.
He Ze's expression didn't change, "Yes, the horse riding lamp only appeared in the capital last year, but I didn't expect it to come to us this year. Because the first horse riding lamp painted a picture of a general riding a horse and hunting, and the lamp stopped the horse. That’s why the horse riding lantern got its name.”
This was only after the Lantern Festival last year, the original body only found out after listening to a few young masters in the academy showing off.
"Horseback hunting picture?" Lin Yu's eyes were full of curiosity.Also, isn't hunting on horseback more interesting to him than dancing with actors?
"This one's not bad either!" He knew He Ze's favorites very well, but... "If not, I'll go to a tailor shop to cut a piece of red silk some other day, and you'll definitely look better when you dance on it."
There was anticipation and a smile in He Ze's voice.
Although young men are not good at dancing nowadays, young men from rich and noble families can learn a thing or two as a boudoir interest. Therefore, dancing is not a low-level thing for entertaining people in the social trend.
However, Lin Yu, who is archery and fighting bears, is dancing... Faintly felt a gust of punching wind, He Ze tilted his shoulder, and his pleasing skills were instantly full, "You heard me wrong, I didn't say anything just now. Well, that's it!"
Lin Queen Yu snorted coldly, and He An beside him laughed so hard that his teeth couldn't see.
Yue Mo felt that his elder brother's majesty still needs to be maintained, so He Ze changed the subject silently, "This horse riding lamp is indeed a treasure, and the name of the lamp leader does not mean that it has been buried. But in previous years, the lamp leader was It’s not for sale, it’s only a reward for the leader of the Lantern Festival, and it should be the same this year, if you two like it..."
"I like it!" He An looked at him expectantly.
"I want to say..." Even if you like me, you probably can't win...
"I like it too." Lin Yu said immediately, slurring every word, expressionless.
He Ze: "..."
"Brother, you see, Brother Lin and I both like it, will you win it and give it to us later?"
He Ze's eyes flickered: "This...how about I go back and give it a try..."
See if I can make one for you?
"Hey, where did this farm slave come from? He also brazenly wants to win Dengkui. Do you think it's funny? Haha!"
Before He Ze could finish speaking, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind. Just as the voice fell, there were laughter one after another, full of sarcasm.
He Ze turned cold and turned around.
conflict
There were a total of five people who came, and to He Ze, they could indeed be called "acquaintances".
After all, Yuanshen had been with this group of rich young masters for several years when he was in the academy.
Wang Fucheng stood at the front carrying a birdcage, dressed in dark red bright clothes, the people behind him were not dressed as eye-catching as Wang Fucheng, but it could be seen that they were all silk and satin, only the last one was made of cotton The hemp shirt was out of place with the surroundings, but it looked like it belonged to He Ze.
When Wang Fucheng saw He Ze's face clearly, he stopped laughing, "Isn't this Brother He? The flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple... I heard that you were seriously injured and dying of illness a while ago, tsk tsk , now it seems that auspicious people have their own celestial features, gratifying to congratulate, gratifying to congratulate!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Fucheng laughed even louder, and circled He Ze several times.As he got closer, under the illumination of the colorful lights, the blue and black under his eyes looked a little scary, and his usually handsome appearance was dropped several notches.
He Ze stood there and let the former "boss" scrutinize him, and his gaze shifted to the four people behind Wang Fucheng, "Brother Wang, Brother Zhao, Brother Li, Brother Qian, and...Brother Guan, long time no see, don't come All right."
"Don't be safe, don't be safe, haha, what a coincidence today, when my master expelled you from the hospital, I thought it would be difficult for my brothers to get together again. Tell me that you are the same, and if something happens, you will be alone. This book stealing is not your idea alone, isn't it..."
"Ahem!" Seeing that Zhao Fei was talking vigorously, Wang Fucheng coughed heavily, "Shut up! What nonsense!"
Zhao Fei closed his mouth resentfully, the air suddenly became silent, and the atmosphere was inexplicably stagnant.
Sensitively aware of something, Lin Yu squeezed He Ze's wrist carefully.Originally, both he and He An were blocked by He Ze, but this action made Wang Fucheng focus on him all of a sudden.
After seeing this, I couldn't move my eyes, and the bird cage in my hand fell to the ground.The cage door slammed open, and the yellow-headed and green budgerigar flapped its wings and flew far away in the blink of an eye.
Yet no one paid attention to it.
Because he often goes up the mountain, Lin Yu's clothes are often shorts and long trousers, and today is no exception. He wears a belt around his waist and leggings on his calves. It's just such an ordinary mountain person's attire, but it looks even more obvious when he wears it. His narrow waist and long legs make people feel itchy, not to mention his exquisite face that has always been praised by people.
And looking at beauties under the lamp is like looking at flowers in the fog, or looking at the moon in the water, that kind of hazyness has a special charm.
Wang Fucheng's throat moved, and he swallowed subconsciously.
"Brother Wang, what do you mean by looking at my wife like this?" He Ze wrapped Lin Yu's hand in his palm, his voice was as cold as ice hanging on a cliff in winter.
"That's right, shameless!" He An curled his lips in disgust as he approached Brother Lin.
"This..." Zhao Fei recovered from his astonishment, carefully patted Wang Fucheng's shoulder, and said in a tone of jealousy, "Brother He is really lucky, brother Wang has always been a beauty lover, you don't know , my sister-in-law has grown up like this...it's not good for Brother He to be so stingy!"
"That's right, that's right, we haven't seen any beauties in the past, but now when we see our sister-in-law, we know what the difference between a firefly and the light of a bright moon is!" Li Er's eyes were still straight.
Qian Sun on the other side also wanted to agree, but just took two steps forward, but was pushed to the front.Guan Du (duo) walked up to He Ze and Wang Fucheng without saying a word, as if he couldn't sense the atmosphere of confrontation between the two, his expression was indifferent, "The lantern festival has already started, if Wang Shao doesn't participate again, our previous agreement will be broken." Forget it."
His voice fell, and the voice of the shopkeeper of Song Lantern Workshop on the stage also fell.It turned out that shopkeeper Song had finished reading the opening speech before he knew it, and the three of He Ze and the five of Wang Fucheng were all pushed to the back of the crowd by the enthusiastic people.And the next quarter of an hour is the time for the folks at the Lantern Workshop to introduce the lanterns to everyone, and it is also the time for the audience who want to win the lantern prize to sign up.
Participating in the lantern riddle quiz is not free. In fact, a registration fee of [-] yuan is required. First, it is to maintain the order of the lantern festival and prevent gags from messing up in it, which is a waste of manpower and material resources; Because [-] Wen was turned away; as for the third thing, it is natural that the shops that organize the lantern festival can earn a little bit.
With Guan Du's words, Wang Fucheng finally woke up like a dream.He smiled flatteringly at Lin Yu, and kicked Zhao Fei abruptly, "Pay the money! Hurry up!"
Zhao Fei didn't react for a while, and was kicked to the ground by him.It was said earlier that this is a deserted courtyard, because it rained two days ago, a layer of fine gravel was deliberately spread on the ground, Zhao Fei's palm was scratched with several bloodstains.He Ze glanced down inadvertently, just in time to see the gloom on his face.
It seems that Wang Fucheng didn't show mercy at all.
Li Er and Qian Sun looked at me and I looked at you with mutual concern, they walked over one after the other and helped Zhao Fei up without saying anything else.Even Zhao Fei returned to his previous expression, presumably he got used to it.
He Ze is also used to it. Such scenes are not uncommon for the original body. Zhao Fei, Li Er, and Qian Sun have all been spared, and he...he remembers that the original body was kicked the most.
However, judging from the memory of the original owner, not to mention this town, the Zhao family can be regarded as a respectable person in the city. Although it is lower than the Wang family and the Luo family, it is by no means enough to make Zhao Fei so "bear the humiliation". So... what did he overlook?
He Ze was muttering to himself, but Wang Fucheng leaned over again and bowed to Lin Yu, "My surname is Wang, Wang Fucheng, and Wang Ji Silk and Satin Shop is owned by my family. He Ze is my good brother, and I don't know the beauty... sister-in-law." What do you call it?"
Lin Yu gave him a cold look and didn't speak.He has seen too much of this disgusting look.
"let's go!"
Sensing Lin Yu's depression, He Ze scratched his palm reassuringly, took He An with the other hand, squeezed out of the crowd a few times, and headed towards the registration office.
Wang Fucheng wanted to chase again, but Guan Du stretched out his hand across his chest, "The crowd is crowded, since I want to answer for you, it's better not to stay too far away."
"You!" It's just a poor man... Wang Fucheng flicked his sleeves and glared at Guan Du, but he still didn't catch up after all.He even pointed to carrying this revolving lantern to go back to impress his father!As for that beauty... Tsk, since it's He Ze's wife, are you afraid he won't find it?
Wang Fucheng licked the corner of his lips, Guan Du frowned subconsciously, and turned his eyes to He Ze who was outside the crowd.The latter nodded to him, and gave Wang Fucheng one last look.
That glance was full of indifference to the ants under his feet.
No one noticed that the willow tree beside the pond outside the theater suddenly broke off a section of willow branch.There are delicate green buds sprouting from the tips of the willow branches. It crawls slowly from the dark like a snake, moving automatically without wind, which is frightening and inexplicable.
It slipped into the theater garden, then slipped into the crowd, and finally went straight to Wang Fucheng.
The third-level ability is really easy to use, He Ze's lips curled up.
The grievances between Yuanshen and Wang Fucheng, except for the book theft incident that caused Yuanshen to be expelled, and Wang Fucheng pushed everything on him, the rest are at most one willing to fight and one willing to suffer, He Ze didn't want to care about it at first .But the other party set his mind on Lin Yu, so he can't be blamed.
He Ze knew Wang Fucheng well, and Xiaoyu aroused his interest today, so he would not give up so easily.
That being the case, why not charge some interest in advance?
The three of them walked to the registration office, and there were a dozen or so people lined up in front of them. He An was a little apprehensive. He just wanted to see how his elder brother looked shriveled. As for winning the lamp leader...he didn't forget He Ze's previous studies. level.
"Brother, do you really want to participate?"
"It's only thirty cents, it's not a big deal." He Ze raised his eyebrows and said with a smile when the coldness was gone. He just wanted to say that he would make one, but he was just thinking about it.After all, revolving lanterns are considered precision instruments in this era, and even if he knows the general principle, if he can't do it... he will lose face.
So it's okay to try, but you can never do such a thing as a guarantee.
"Okay, let's take it for fun. Let's talk about lantern riddles. We have heard a lot since we were young. Maybe we can help you!" Lin Yu regained his interest because there was no one around him who was an eyesore.
"That's right, that's the reason, listen to your sister-in-law!" He Zelang laughed twice, and before Lin Yu could react, he quickly walked to the front to pay the money.It's up to them.
He An pulled Lin Yu's arm and shouted at He Ze, "Brother, are you ashamed!"
"Haven't you heard a word?" He Ze said with a deep expression after finishing the application, "You can't marry a wife if you are thin-skinned!"
He An: If you have the guts, come closer and tell me!indifference
The registration time passed quickly, and the staff who maintained the order of the lantern festival led the more than 30 people who had registered to sit in front of the crowd, forming a big circle under the lantern stand.Probably because of the great reputation of the Lantern Leader today, He Ze saw many former classmates, and most of them he didn't know, maybe they were students from Linzhen.
I don't know if it's because the Encounter Road is narrow, but when He Ze took his seat, he happened to see Wang Fucheng across from him.Wang Fucheng smiled provocatively at him, and then set his sights on Lin Yu in the next second, his eyes full of obsession.
really...
Since the insect disease is caused by the fragrance, the fragrance should be stimulated to the extreme, and the adult insects will be gathered in one place and set on fire. As for the larvae that will be attracted in the future, follow the method Xu Qingsheng said.
He Ze pulled out a few Angelica dahurica seedlings and put them in a pile on the path. When he first used the ability, the originally clear and light fragrance in the air immediately became richer, even a little pungent.
After about a while, there was a rustling sound in the ground, and a caterpillar about the thickness of an adult man's little finger crawled into the pile of Angelica dahurica along the gap, followed by the second, and the third... until several Baizhi trees There was no space left on Miao's body, and everything was covered by dense caterpillars.
The bright moon is shining brightly, shining on the pile of Angelica dahurica full of caterpillars, like a clear green stone, if the fine, swimming lines on it are ignored.
The rustling sound lasted for a while, during which Wangfu barked fiercely a few times, but none of the caterpillars frightened away, and even large areas of land came one after another.
He Ze combed the hair on Wangfu's back, took out the pine oil that had been prepared at his waist, and lit the fire with a fire pocket. Without a stick of incense, only a pile of black ashes was left on the spot.
This was repeated twice, until no caterpillars crawled over for a long time, He Ze lightly spread his palm, and a green vine flew from the forest to his hand.
"Woof - woof woof -" Wangfu stared at He Ze without blinking, barking and took two steps back.
"Be good, don't move, or you will be stewed when you go back."
He Ze threatened a few words, regardless of whether Wangfu could understand or not, he swung the rattan cane towards the opposite mountain forest twice, with little force, but the sound of the wind piercing through the sky was very clear in this quiet night.
His ability is now at the third level, and it is a piece of cake to transfer the vitality of the vegetation in the mountains, and this vitality is not a serious problem to these vegetation in the mountains, but it can be restored in a day.
Dots of green starlight rose above the mountain forest, and then slowly fell towards the ground of Angelica dahurica, like a wonderful meteor shower.Wangfu took two deep breaths, and suddenly rushed into the Baizhi field desperately.
"Don't trample on the green shoots, or you won't be allowed to eat meat for three days."
Before the sound fell, Wangfu, who stopped in an emergency, fell on his back. Before he had time to feel the difficulty of the dog's life, a light spot invisible to ordinary people fell on it in the next second, and then disappeared invisible.
The unspeakable comfort made Wangfu couldn't help but want to bark twice, but his gaze went away when he touched He Ze behind him, and he just turned over and got up and stood quietly on the spot.
He Ze threw away the cane and didn't look at it, just sat casually on the grass by the side of the road, leaning against the half-decayed stake behind him, closing his eyes and recuperating.
It was not until the middle of the night that Wangfu jumped up and rubbed his arm, and one person and one dog set off on their way home.
The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the moonlight seems to be brighter. The Angelica dahurica seedlings in the field stand upright one by one, and the tender green leaves exude a jade-like luster.On the wooden stake that He Ze was leaning on just now, a bud had sprouted at some point, swaying his short and fat body against the night wind.
On the second day, He Ze didn't get up until the sun was high. He had just eaten two meat-filled pancakes when Father He's joyful voice came from outside the yard.
"Good thing, good thing! Ozawa! Come out, Bai Zhi is alive and growing well, not dead!"
Before He Ze could answer, Li Shi and He An from the stove came out first, "Did you see clearly? Are you all right? Do you need to water some water in the afternoon?"
"No, no, no," He Youcai waved his hand, grinning to the ears, "It looks better than the previous days, it's alive, it's really alive!"
"That's fine, that's fine!"
Mrs. Li grabbed the corner of her clothes and wiped her hands, her face full of joy.For a moment, both of them forgot the cold war of the past few days.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Li took He An to the field, and brought back some green vegetables from the vegetable garden. Father He also brought back two good news from the clan elders—the land clan that he wanted to buy would be sold within two days. After the handover was done, Lin Da was also found, and he was going to be sent to the Yamen after the Lantern Festival.
With three happy events in one day, Mrs. Li was indescribably relaxed, and even looked at the old man He was pleasing to the eye. In the evening, he not only killed a chicken, but also opened the half jar of wine left over from the New Year's Eve.
"Father, this is a good opportunity."
At the table, Mrs. Li was chatting with He An and laughing, He Ze pushed Father He's elbow.The latter glanced at He Ze, then at Li Shi, stood up abruptly, picked up the wine jar and leaned over to pour a glass for Li Shi, seeing Li raised his eyes, he poured himself another glass.
The small square table fell silent, and the two little ones looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
"Colorful clouds," He Youcai picked up the cup, and he didn't know whether he had drunk alcohol or what, his dark face was slightly reddish under the candlelight.
He is not an outgoing person, and he rarely calls Li's boudoir name, let alone in front of the child now.
"I've been the bastard for the past few days. My mind is not clear. It not only made you angry, but also worried the two children. Now in front of them, He Youcai will apologize to you!"
Father He's words became smoother and smoother, and without waiting for Li Shi to speak, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and then poured another glass.
"Since we've come to this point, I'm not afraid of the children's jokes. For so many years, I really feel sorry for you, Mu, for making him suffer..." He Youcai's voice was slightly choked, and he poured another cup After drinking, I wanted to pour it again, but Mrs. Li held down the jar.
"What to drink! Are you trying to apologize to me, or is it for this wine?" Mrs. Li gave him an annoyed look, "Ozawa told me that when you came home, you heard Ah Mu and me in the kitchen. You can remember what Eminem said clearly, and you still take it all to your heart, why don't you remember what I said?"
"Caiyun...my baby, I..."
"You and I have been married for 20 years. Ozawa and An Geer are both so old. Why don't we suffer? After so many years, no matter how hard life is, it is as hard as when I married you back then?"
At that time, He Youcai's father passed away, and all the money owed by the gambling shop was recorded on He Youcai. For the foreign debt of seventy-eight taels, Li Shi was able to marry him regardless, and he really gave it up.
"If I had asked for money, I would not have married you in the first place. At the beginning, I was only asking for you. I recognized both good and bad, not to mention... What's more, as long as you are in this family, you are the best." of!"
Perhaps these words were too intimate, after finishing speaking, Li Shi lowered her head and took a sip of her wine, while He Youcai was still half-bent, staring at him blankly.
He Ze suddenly felt that he and He An were just two big light bulbs, which were an eyesore. He gestured with his eyes, and got up and picked up a chicken leg for He An, and another for himself, and the two held the bowls one after another out of the room.
He An, who was walking behind, closed the door with great interest.
Li's craftsmanship is very good. The chicken is stewed with dried mountain mushrooms, which is delicious and tender.That night, the two brothers sat on the stone steps in front of the house, gnawed on chicken legs, and listened to their parents' corners, and they didn't go back to the room one after another until the moonlight was getting colder.
For several days in a row, Father He and Li Shi were as sweet as honey, even if their eyes met, they would look at each other and smile, revealing a deep affection.
Heh, He Ze was almost blinded.As for He An... Well, he is still a child.
As a result, He Ze, who was deeply shocked, either ran to his daughter-in-law's house, or stayed in the room alone, and even had to yell at He An before coming out to eat, and he didn't know what he was doing.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that He Youcai came back from a stroll around the new courtyard under construction, when He Ze pulled him into the room and stuffed him with a stack of paper with strange pictures drawn in charcoal on it.
"what is this?"
"Chair, this is called a rocking chair. The chair surface can be woven with bamboo strips, and the bottom is a semi-curved wooden base. It can be tilted forward and backward to achieve a perfect balance, and it will not easily fall over." The drawing on the first page It is a modern rocking chair. Although the artist is not very good, the basic structure is still clear after He Ze grinds it for two days, "Well, it is much more comfortable than the current chairs on the market. What do you think of lying on it and basking in the sun? "
He Youcai was still puzzled at first, but his eyes widened before He Ze finished speaking.After working in carpentry for more than ten years, why has he never seen this thing before?
"This is a baby stroller, which is for children aged one to three. It is very convenient for traveling with children. The materials are also bamboo strips and wood. The wheels under it can be made of iron or wood." Waiting for congratulations With the return of the God of Wealth, He Ze turned to the second page.
"The third page is a folding round table, which is also for convenience. I can't explain two sentences clearly. I will think about it when you make it. The fourth page is a clothes hanger, which is used for drying clothes. It is simple, compact and practical... the latter is mostly novelty Wooden products, and finally some flower stands for the flower shop, you will be troubled."
"This this……"
He Youcai was still in a sluggish state. Although he was honest, he was not stupid. If these things he had never heard of or seen before could be made as his son said, then, that would be really...
"Father, there are dozens of things, big and small. When you make them all, the flower shop will almost open. We will use the profit to open another wood shop. Some of them will make a profit. You will also give it to me when the time comes." Tom bought a yard in town."
"Ozawa, you...how did you come up with this? Can you really do it?" He Youcai was very uneasy because he didn't believe it.
"Father, you spent so much money to let me study. I didn't read the book well. I have to learn something else, right? Most of these should be made. If you don't believe me, just try."
Seeing He Youcai's blushing face due to excitement, He Ze raised his eyebrows, it's not in vain that he has worked so hard to draw these pictures these days.After a long time, some simple ones are fine, but he needs to think about the complicated ones for a long time, even painting five or six times before he can draw clearly.
As far as the painter is concerned, his hand disability has been doomed since the kindergarten class.
He Youcai stared blankly at the blueprint in his hand, his heart was full of agitation.
Originally, he had figured it out after toasting with his son E'mu to make amends that day, but he felt a little regretful in his heart. Now that his son gave him such a big gift, if he could really make these things, he would give them to Caiyun. Buy a big yard in town...with the money he makes, with the money he makes carpentry!
Thinking of this, He Youcai felt his heart pounding, and he couldn't stop exerting himself, wishing he could pick up the curved ruler and plane and hug the wood immediately.
It has to be said that what He Ze said hit his nails.Not giving Li a good life, and being looked down upon by Yue's family. For so many years, even clay figurines have three-pointed nature. This matter has become He Youcai's heart disease. After this attack, there will be another one. If you want to cure it, you can only look at these blueprints.
He Youcai, who held the blueprints as his treasure, closed the closed door, and He Ze went to work as a supervisor in the new yard for him, and Lin Yu was brought over by He An from time to time to deliver some food.The days passed leisurely, watching most of the courtyard gradually take shape, and the day of Lantern Festival came.
The sun had just set that day, and He Ze, who had just eaten half a bowl of Lantern Festival balls, was urged by Mrs. Li to pick up Lin Yu. He An also followed, and a group of three people drove towards the town in a bullock cart under the moonlight. go.
Lantern festival
Perhaps because of the festival, even though it is night, the road is not quiet. The closer you get to the entrance of the town, the louder the noise of firecrackers, gongs and drums. Occasionally, when you walk to a high ground, you can faintly see lights gathered in the distance, colorful and bizarre.
Presumably the Lantern Festival has already begun.
This is a custom handed down along with the Lantern Festival in this era, and it has many similarities with China.People come out of their homes one after another on this day, entertaining friends, playing dragon and lion dances, admiring the lanterns and the moon, which is very lively.
There were few entertainments in ancient times, and it was rare for the whole people to enjoy such a day. Even though this is just a small town thousands of miles away from the bustling Kyoto, the festive atmosphere is very strong.
You can get a glimpse of it by listening to the endless sound of firecrackers.
He Ze was sitting in the front driving the car, and He An, who was sitting in the back, couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. It was Lin Yu who also raised the corners of his mouth this time.
"Brother, it's really lively. I was busy at home last year, so I didn't catch up." A cool night breeze blew by, He An gathered his thin jacket and waistcoat, and said with a smile, "It's almost here, I can smell the aroma of fried melon seeds."
"Your nose is even better than Wangfu!" He Ze snorted, before his voice fell, he heard Lin Yu who was sitting beside him sneezed, and hurriedly turned his head back, "Are you all right? I specially asked Eminem to prepare two pieces of clothes to put inside, and you and Xiaoan each quickly put on one piece, it’s early spring and it’s still late at night.”
"Tsk, brother, why have you never thought you were so careful before?" He An's tone was so tactful, but his hands swiftly pulled out two clothes, one for Lin Yu, one for Lin Yu. I covered myself outside, "Brother Lin, this time I'm thanks to you."
As he spoke, he rolled his eyes at He Ze, his eyes full of accusations.
I don't know if it was because of the red lantern on the wooden post in front of him, Lin Yu's face was a little red, but he said in a helpful way: "You are talking nonsense, but I will help you watch it in the future, so that he can't forget it!"
"Why? Are you in a hurry to exercise your rights as the housekeeper's wife?" The voice was full of jokes.
Seeing that Zhenkou was just ahead, He Ze flicked his whip, and Lao Huang ran faster and faster.
"He Ze!" Lin Yu's face was obviously really red this time, but he didn't know whether it was from shame or anger.
"However, Xiaosheng loves it so much. When we get married in two months, I ask my wife to give me some advice."
The bullock cart stopped, and He Ze jumped off. Before he let go of the whip, he bowed to Lin Yu.He had a smile on his face, his tough facial features had a gentle taste, and he was wearing a round-neck Confucian shirt in the style of a scholar specially made by Li Shi. When he flicked his sleeves and bowed, he looked suave and suave. , The gentleman is elegant.
Lin Yu would never admit that he was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously put his fist on his lips and coughed twice. When he raised his head, he saw He Ze was looking at him with the same posture, and all the embarrassing words in his mind suddenly All forgotten.
I never thought that the beauty trick doesn't usually work.
Seeing Lin Yu's absent-minded eyes, the arc of He Ze's mouth deepened, and his smile became more and more like a fox.
"Brother, Brother Lin... You guys, have you seen enough?" He An's expression on the side was indescribable.
The same goes for Lin Ge... Alas, two days ago, Brother Lin had the nerve to talk about Father and Mu. He and Brother Lin are almost as good as each other!The most pitiful thing is myself...
If it wasn't for the rare opportunity, he wouldn't want to be in the middle of these two people!His eyes turned back and forth on He Ze and Lin Yu, and He An almost had the four characters "Life without love" on his head.
Fortunately, He Ze didn't know what his little brother was thinking.
Because of He An's unbearable utterance, Lin Yu finally came back to his senses, and then his face turned red, he hurriedly turned his head and jumped out of the car to cover up: "It's all here, get out of the car!"
Seeing Brother Lin's gaffe, He An almost laughed out loud, but the next second he received a stare from his elder brother, so he had to hold back his smile and change the subject, "Well, where should we go first?" ? It's still early."
Once a year, he has to have fun.
He Ze put the two baskets together on his back, and couldn't help rubbing He An's head twice, "It's up to you, we can go shopping first, buy whatever we want, brother pays the bill."
"Yeah, thank you brother." He An nodded heavily, turned around and ran ahead like a runaway wild horse.He Ze took Lin Yu's hand and hurriedly followed behind, "Slow down! There are many people on the street, so don't get lost."
"I know, I know!"
He An picked up the pink rabbit lamp from the stall next to him, turned around and made faces at the two of them laughingly.
He Ze turned his head and smiled at Lin Yu.
He An twitched the corners of his mouth, and refocused his attention on the booths on both sides.Moving from one stall to another, from dried fruit preserves to melon seed snacks, from pancakes with stinky tofu to candied haws, within a short while, the bamboo basket behind He Ze was already half full.
After eating three or four candied haws, Lin Yu stared at the remaining candied haws on the wooden handle, feeling sour in his stomach, and subconsciously frowned.He Ze felt it was funny, but he raised his hand to hold Lin Yu's wrist, and with his hand, he fed the remaining candied haws into his mouth slowly, and finally said, "It's so sweet."
fart!Obviously sour!
Lin Yu retorted righteously in his heart, but between his lips and teeth, he recalled the slight sweetness left by the thin layer of sugar coating on the hawthorn, so he could only stare at He Ze bitterly.
"Clap clap clap..."
"Dangdangdangdang..."
"Dong dong dong dong..."
He Ze wanted to say something more, but at this time there was another burst of firecrackers, followed by the sound of gongs and drums, interspersed with the cries of vendors, the laughter of tourists, and the music of silk and bamboo in restaurants and theaters. Sounds, all kinds of sounds merged into a line, the rhythm was cheerful and deafening.
As the sound of gongs and drums approached, he embraced Lin Yu with one hand and greeted He An with the other, and the three of them followed the crowd to the corner of the street.Before standing still, a group of men in yellow silk clothes held the fire dragon above their heads and headed towards them in a mighty manner. Several other people walked back and forth under the fire dragon with various "clouds" alone. , The tail of the dragon rises and falls, and the flame-like giant dragon shakes its head and tail, and hides among the clouds from time to time, attracting cheers from tourists.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" He An's hands clapped loudly.
"Does it look good?" He Ze leaned over Lin Yu's ear, the hot air that spewed out made the latter's neck itchy.
"It looks good!" Lin Yu smiled brightly.
When the dragon dance team passed by, it was already Xu time. "Are you two hungry? If you are hungry, let's go to the shopkeeper to have a meal first, if you are not hungry..."
"I'm not hungry, I'm full from snacks, let's go guess the lantern riddles!" He Ze was interrupted by He An before he finished speaking.
"I'm not hungry either. Xiao'an wants to guess lantern riddles, so let's go to the Lantern Festival first. The Lantern Festival is also on East Street, which happens to be on the way. If you come back, you'll eat when you're hungry." Lin Yu agreed.
"In that case... let's go!" He Ze made a decision, and the three of them headed towards the East Street.Walking and stopping all the way, when we arrived at the high platform of the Lantern Festival, about two quarters of an hour had passed.
The location of the high platform was originally a theater, covering a large area. Later, the theater declined, and the owners of the theater often rented out the venue. It has been four or five years since then.For today's lantern festival, hundreds of bamboos and woods were used up and down the high platform. The bamboos and woods were undulating and strewn together to build a total of nine floors. Seven... Until the topmost lantern, there are different sizes, shapes and colors. From a distance, it looks like a lighthouse.
Even though they had been shopping for a long time, the three of them had seen quite a few lanterns, but they couldn't help being amazed when they saw such a lighthouse.
"Sure enough, it's still beautiful here..." He An looked at the lotus lantern above his head and muttered to himself.
"Of course, the lanterns here are all handpicked by the vendors in the town. They are naturally more delicate than the rest of the stalls." If not, it might be the biggest lantern in the town. We can't afford to build such a lighthouse.
"Then, that lamp can move!" Lin Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and he pulled He Ze's sleeve to look at the highest lamp.
He Ze followed his line of sight to look at the top of the tower, and all he saw was a six-page lantern, each page of silk paper was painted with exquisite pictures, flowers, birds, fish, insects and even characters were all lifelike, big and small in this The number one lighthouse.
Just thinking about it, this lantern is not enough to stand out among the lighthouses.It's strange that there is no wind at this moment, but every page of this lantern is spinning rapidly, and the objects change and the scene moves. The originally separated picture immediately becomes a picture of beauties dancing, which contrasts with flowers and birds. It's so wonderful. !
"Then... it should be a horse riding lamp. The heat generated by the burning of the candle creates airflow, which makes the wheel shaft rotate..." It is also called a revolving lantern in modern times. Its principle is similar to that of modern gas engines. It has appeared in the Qin and Han Dynasties of China. The wisdom of the people can be seen.
At that time, it seemed to be... a physics teacher?In order to let them understand this, a revolving lantern was specially dismantled.He Ze had a vague impression.
"Horse riding lights?" The thermal airflow behind them was obviously ignored by the two of them.The lantern festival will start in a while, and at this time, many people have gathered in front of the lighthouse. Hearing the conversation between the three, they subconsciously looked at He Ze.
He Ze's expression didn't change, "Yes, the horse riding lamp only appeared in the capital last year, but I didn't expect it to come to us this year. Because the first horse riding lamp painted a picture of a general riding a horse and hunting, and the lamp stopped the horse. That’s why the horse riding lantern got its name.”
This was only after the Lantern Festival last year, the original body only found out after listening to a few young masters in the academy showing off.
"Horseback hunting picture?" Lin Yu's eyes were full of curiosity.Also, isn't hunting on horseback more interesting to him than dancing with actors?
"This one's not bad either!" He knew He Ze's favorites very well, but... "If not, I'll go to a tailor shop to cut a piece of red silk some other day, and you'll definitely look better when you dance on it."
There was anticipation and a smile in He Ze's voice.
Although young men are not good at dancing nowadays, young men from rich and noble families can learn a thing or two as a boudoir interest. Therefore, dancing is not a low-level thing for entertaining people in the social trend.
However, Lin Yu, who is archery and fighting bears, is dancing... Faintly felt a gust of punching wind, He Ze tilted his shoulder, and his pleasing skills were instantly full, "You heard me wrong, I didn't say anything just now. Well, that's it!"
Lin Queen Yu snorted coldly, and He An beside him laughed so hard that his teeth couldn't see.
Yue Mo felt that his elder brother's majesty still needs to be maintained, so He Ze changed the subject silently, "This horse riding lamp is indeed a treasure, and the name of the lamp leader does not mean that it has been buried. But in previous years, the lamp leader was It’s not for sale, it’s only a reward for the leader of the Lantern Festival, and it should be the same this year, if you two like it..."
"I like it!" He An looked at him expectantly.
"I want to say..." Even if you like me, you probably can't win...
"I like it too." Lin Yu said immediately, slurring every word, expressionless.
He Ze: "..."
"Brother, you see, Brother Lin and I both like it, will you win it and give it to us later?"
He Ze's eyes flickered: "This...how about I go back and give it a try..."
See if I can make one for you?
"Hey, where did this farm slave come from? He also brazenly wants to win Dengkui. Do you think it's funny? Haha!"
Before He Ze could finish speaking, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind. Just as the voice fell, there were laughter one after another, full of sarcasm.
He Ze turned cold and turned around.
conflict
There were a total of five people who came, and to He Ze, they could indeed be called "acquaintances".
After all, Yuanshen had been with this group of rich young masters for several years when he was in the academy.
Wang Fucheng stood at the front carrying a birdcage, dressed in dark red bright clothes, the people behind him were not dressed as eye-catching as Wang Fucheng, but it could be seen that they were all silk and satin, only the last one was made of cotton The hemp shirt was out of place with the surroundings, but it looked like it belonged to He Ze.
When Wang Fucheng saw He Ze's face clearly, he stopped laughing, "Isn't this Brother He? The flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple... I heard that you were seriously injured and dying of illness a while ago, tsk tsk , now it seems that auspicious people have their own celestial features, gratifying to congratulate, gratifying to congratulate!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Fucheng laughed even louder, and circled He Ze several times.As he got closer, under the illumination of the colorful lights, the blue and black under his eyes looked a little scary, and his usually handsome appearance was dropped several notches.
He Ze stood there and let the former "boss" scrutinize him, and his gaze shifted to the four people behind Wang Fucheng, "Brother Wang, Brother Zhao, Brother Li, Brother Qian, and...Brother Guan, long time no see, don't come All right."
"Don't be safe, don't be safe, haha, what a coincidence today, when my master expelled you from the hospital, I thought it would be difficult for my brothers to get together again. Tell me that you are the same, and if something happens, you will be alone. This book stealing is not your idea alone, isn't it..."
"Ahem!" Seeing that Zhao Fei was talking vigorously, Wang Fucheng coughed heavily, "Shut up! What nonsense!"
Zhao Fei closed his mouth resentfully, the air suddenly became silent, and the atmosphere was inexplicably stagnant.
Sensitively aware of something, Lin Yu squeezed He Ze's wrist carefully.Originally, both he and He An were blocked by He Ze, but this action made Wang Fucheng focus on him all of a sudden.
After seeing this, I couldn't move my eyes, and the bird cage in my hand fell to the ground.The cage door slammed open, and the yellow-headed and green budgerigar flapped its wings and flew far away in the blink of an eye.
Yet no one paid attention to it.
Because he often goes up the mountain, Lin Yu's clothes are often shorts and long trousers, and today is no exception. He wears a belt around his waist and leggings on his calves. It's just such an ordinary mountain person's attire, but it looks even more obvious when he wears it. His narrow waist and long legs make people feel itchy, not to mention his exquisite face that has always been praised by people.
And looking at beauties under the lamp is like looking at flowers in the fog, or looking at the moon in the water, that kind of hazyness has a special charm.
Wang Fucheng's throat moved, and he swallowed subconsciously.
"Brother Wang, what do you mean by looking at my wife like this?" He Ze wrapped Lin Yu's hand in his palm, his voice was as cold as ice hanging on a cliff in winter.
"That's right, shameless!" He An curled his lips in disgust as he approached Brother Lin.
"This..." Zhao Fei recovered from his astonishment, carefully patted Wang Fucheng's shoulder, and said in a tone of jealousy, "Brother He is really lucky, brother Wang has always been a beauty lover, you don't know , my sister-in-law has grown up like this...it's not good for Brother He to be so stingy!"
"That's right, that's right, we haven't seen any beauties in the past, but now when we see our sister-in-law, we know what the difference between a firefly and the light of a bright moon is!" Li Er's eyes were still straight.
Qian Sun on the other side also wanted to agree, but just took two steps forward, but was pushed to the front.Guan Du (duo) walked up to He Ze and Wang Fucheng without saying a word, as if he couldn't sense the atmosphere of confrontation between the two, his expression was indifferent, "The lantern festival has already started, if Wang Shao doesn't participate again, our previous agreement will be broken." Forget it."
His voice fell, and the voice of the shopkeeper of Song Lantern Workshop on the stage also fell.It turned out that shopkeeper Song had finished reading the opening speech before he knew it, and the three of He Ze and the five of Wang Fucheng were all pushed to the back of the crowd by the enthusiastic people.And the next quarter of an hour is the time for the folks at the Lantern Workshop to introduce the lanterns to everyone, and it is also the time for the audience who want to win the lantern prize to sign up.
Participating in the lantern riddle quiz is not free. In fact, a registration fee of [-] yuan is required. First, it is to maintain the order of the lantern festival and prevent gags from messing up in it, which is a waste of manpower and material resources; Because [-] Wen was turned away; as for the third thing, it is natural that the shops that organize the lantern festival can earn a little bit.
With Guan Du's words, Wang Fucheng finally woke up like a dream.He smiled flatteringly at Lin Yu, and kicked Zhao Fei abruptly, "Pay the money! Hurry up!"
Zhao Fei didn't react for a while, and was kicked to the ground by him.It was said earlier that this is a deserted courtyard, because it rained two days ago, a layer of fine gravel was deliberately spread on the ground, Zhao Fei's palm was scratched with several bloodstains.He Ze glanced down inadvertently, just in time to see the gloom on his face.
It seems that Wang Fucheng didn't show mercy at all.
Li Er and Qian Sun looked at me and I looked at you with mutual concern, they walked over one after the other and helped Zhao Fei up without saying anything else.Even Zhao Fei returned to his previous expression, presumably he got used to it.
He Ze is also used to it. Such scenes are not uncommon for the original body. Zhao Fei, Li Er, and Qian Sun have all been spared, and he...he remembers that the original body was kicked the most.
However, judging from the memory of the original owner, not to mention this town, the Zhao family can be regarded as a respectable person in the city. Although it is lower than the Wang family and the Luo family, it is by no means enough to make Zhao Fei so "bear the humiliation". So... what did he overlook?
He Ze was muttering to himself, but Wang Fucheng leaned over again and bowed to Lin Yu, "My surname is Wang, Wang Fucheng, and Wang Ji Silk and Satin Shop is owned by my family. He Ze is my good brother, and I don't know the beauty... sister-in-law." What do you call it?"
Lin Yu gave him a cold look and didn't speak.He has seen too much of this disgusting look.
"let's go!"
Sensing Lin Yu's depression, He Ze scratched his palm reassuringly, took He An with the other hand, squeezed out of the crowd a few times, and headed towards the registration office.
Wang Fucheng wanted to chase again, but Guan Du stretched out his hand across his chest, "The crowd is crowded, since I want to answer for you, it's better not to stay too far away."
"You!" It's just a poor man... Wang Fucheng flicked his sleeves and glared at Guan Du, but he still didn't catch up after all.He even pointed to carrying this revolving lantern to go back to impress his father!As for that beauty... Tsk, since it's He Ze's wife, are you afraid he won't find it?
Wang Fucheng licked the corner of his lips, Guan Du frowned subconsciously, and turned his eyes to He Ze who was outside the crowd.The latter nodded to him, and gave Wang Fucheng one last look.
That glance was full of indifference to the ants under his feet.
No one noticed that the willow tree beside the pond outside the theater suddenly broke off a section of willow branch.There are delicate green buds sprouting from the tips of the willow branches. It crawls slowly from the dark like a snake, moving automatically without wind, which is frightening and inexplicable.
It slipped into the theater garden, then slipped into the crowd, and finally went straight to Wang Fucheng.
The third-level ability is really easy to use, He Ze's lips curled up.
The grievances between Yuanshen and Wang Fucheng, except for the book theft incident that caused Yuanshen to be expelled, and Wang Fucheng pushed everything on him, the rest are at most one willing to fight and one willing to suffer, He Ze didn't want to care about it at first .But the other party set his mind on Lin Yu, so he can't be blamed.
He Ze knew Wang Fucheng well, and Xiaoyu aroused his interest today, so he would not give up so easily.
That being the case, why not charge some interest in advance?
The three of them walked to the registration office, and there were a dozen or so people lined up in front of them. He An was a little apprehensive. He just wanted to see how his elder brother looked shriveled. As for winning the lamp leader...he didn't forget He Ze's previous studies. level.
"Brother, do you really want to participate?"
"It's only thirty cents, it's not a big deal." He Ze raised his eyebrows and said with a smile when the coldness was gone. He just wanted to say that he would make one, but he was just thinking about it.After all, revolving lanterns are considered precision instruments in this era, and even if he knows the general principle, if he can't do it... he will lose face.
So it's okay to try, but you can never do such a thing as a guarantee.
"Okay, let's take it for fun. Let's talk about lantern riddles. We have heard a lot since we were young. Maybe we can help you!" Lin Yu regained his interest because there was no one around him who was an eyesore.
"That's right, that's the reason, listen to your sister-in-law!" He Zelang laughed twice, and before Lin Yu could react, he quickly walked to the front to pay the money.It's up to them.
He An pulled Lin Yu's arm and shouted at He Ze, "Brother, are you ashamed!"
"Haven't you heard a word?" He Ze said with a deep expression after finishing the application, "You can't marry a wife if you are thin-skinned!"
He An: If you have the guts, come closer and tell me!indifference
The registration time passed quickly, and the staff who maintained the order of the lantern festival led the more than 30 people who had registered to sit in front of the crowd, forming a big circle under the lantern stand.Probably because of the great reputation of the Lantern Leader today, He Ze saw many former classmates, and most of them he didn't know, maybe they were students from Linzhen.
I don't know if it's because the Encounter Road is narrow, but when He Ze took his seat, he happened to see Wang Fucheng across from him.Wang Fucheng smiled provocatively at him, and then set his sights on Lin Yu in the next second, his eyes full of obsession.
really...
