Chen Renyu said: "My uncle led a group of fishermen and a few government officials to destroy a ship of pirates, and the officers and soldiers haven't even been dispatched yet."
Wang Xiaozhu said with a look of disbelief: "Please show me the letter."
He handed it over and said: "Pirates have no gold soldiers, no martial arts, and no military discipline to speak of. Once defeated, they will be in chaos. Since then, the fishermen built a lighthouse at the entrance of the village and lit up lanterns at night to indicate the return of fishing boats.
The aunt then passed on the light language to the fishermen, what direction and what color of lights represented, as a way for the fishing village and the fishermen to exchange information. Impressed by the achievements of the uncle and aunt, the people in the fishing village made the
Boneless lanterns were offered in the ancestral hall, and he began to learn how to make boneless lanterns from his aunt. Acupuncture lanterns became popular on the Qinzhou seaside."
Hearing him mention the language of lanterns, Wang Xiaozhu suddenly remembered something. The memory of his past life came back to him. He remembered that when he was a goddess under Tianmu's throne, the two sisters used lanterns to help Tianmu resist the invasion of the twelve constellations.
Language is used as a signal of communication between gods. At that time, the pagoda revolving lantern was used. The group of lanterns consisted of nine single lamps. Each lamp had a different color, each representing east, south, west, north, and northeast.
Eight directions including southeast, northwest, southwest and the center. With the coordination of the two sisters, in the end, the twelve constellations were defeated and unable to touch the north. For a moment, he was filled with emotion and said: "Brother-in-law is now so powerful that he finally got the imperial court."
Have you received the reward?"
He replied: "No, after the matter was reported to the court, the ministers believed that this was a military action by civilian officials. Although it served the people, it was inconsistent with the court's system and the officials' responsibilities. Therefore, the merits and demerits were balanced, and no reward was given.
Punishment."
Wang Xiaozhu complained on his behalf: "Doesn't this mean that my brother-in-law is meddling in other people's business? My brother-in-law is originally the number one scholar in the military field. The imperial court values civility over military affairs to this extent. No wonder they are defeated in foreign wars one after another."
"Don't talk about it. My brother-in-law said in his letter that being an official is for the people. They also talked about the interesting Bull Soul Festival of the Zhuang people. The Zhuang people believe that the eighth day of April is the birth day of the Ox King. The Ox King is here.
One day, cattle come from heaven to earth to visit them and protect them from diseases and plagues. Therefore, in Zhuang Township, no matter how busy the farm work is on this day, cattle must be allowed to rest for a day. They are not allowed to scold the cattle or whip them.
, because if the cow is beaten and the soul of the cow is frightened away, it will affect the farming. On this day, a square red paper must be posted at the door of the cowshed and a table set up for sacrifice. People lead the cow to a place with lush green grass and let the cow roam freely.
After eating enough on the ground, the housewife cleans the cattle pen, spreads lime, and puts in new hay. The children gently brush the cow's back, allowing the cow to spend a comfortable holiday. On this day, the cow's nose string is taken off and taken off.
They use a choker and a bamboo bell to bathe, comb, catch lice and rub the itch of the cow. At noon, each family places wine and food in the main room and holds a traditional cow-respecting ceremony. The old man leads the cow around the table and sings "Cow" while doing so.
Oh, my treasure, my cow, my wealth. The flowers are blooming, the sunbirds are chirping, the spring water is playing the harp, the seedlings are harvesting, the time has come to take off the knot, I will honor you, and I will take off the cow.
Let you take a breath, let you rest, eat some good feed, and listen to me sing the cow song." After singing, feed the cow a ball of five-color rice and a piece of bacon, and then sing about the origin of the cow. After singing, feed the cow again
The last time we had bacon and glutinous rice, the whole family touched the cow's back, said some auspicious words and blessings, sent it back to the pen, and fed it good feed. In some places, the elders even sang cow songs." At this point, he
Following the example of the Zhuang elders, they sang loudly: "If you cherish your clothes, you will have clothes to wear. If you love cattle, you will have grain harvest. I advise people to cherish cattle for farming, so that both humans and animals can be prosperous and happy."
Listening to him learning to sing Zhuang songs, his voice was very weird. Wang Xiaozhu laughed until her stomach hurt. After she stopped laughing, she took out several packages of different dried mushrooms from her bag and asked him to identify them. He looked at them and pointed to one of them.
One said: "This one is edible. It's called matsutake. It's one of the best mushrooms."
She blushed. The other kinds of mushrooms also smelled very fragrant. She thought that most of the mushrooms she picked this time were edible, but she didn't expect that there was only one kind.
"You picked it at the foot of the pine tree, right?" He took it and explained: "Because the fungus grows under the pine forest, and the buds are like deer antlers, it is named matsutake.
Good quality, bright color, plump body shape. Umbrella-like shape, cap is brown, stipe is white, all have fibrous, hairy scales. The flesh is white, tender and thick, with fine texture, excellent taste, and rich aroma and
Rich in nutritional value. The ones that have not yet broken apart are of the highest quality, and the ones that have broken into an umbrella shape are of lower quality.”
Seeing his ability to distinguish mushrooms, Wang Xiaozhu once again mentioned the old talk: "Sister, I want to ask you, when can you write a book and complete the genealogy of mushrooms?"
He thought for a while and said: "You have to pass the examination and gain fame. If you write a book and talk about it without fame, they will definitely laugh at you. Even if you write a book, no one will read it."
It is absolutely incomprehensible to other people to write books about saints and saints, written by an idiot. Wang Xiaozhu no longer persuades him, and can only hope that he will study hard in Tongjiang Academy and become a Jinshi in a few years.
I’ll talk about it later after I honor my ancestors.
After sending Chen Renyu away, Wang Xiaozhu came up with an idea. Since there wasn't much to do in the skyscraper canyon, he could collect all the pictures of making boneless lanterns and compile a book on lantern making to pass the long time.
It is even rarer for women to write books. The only records recorded in history books are Ban Gu's "Nv Jie" and a book about regulating women's speech and behavior called "The Analects of Women" written by Song Ruoxin, a female scholar of the Tang Dynasty. The "Analects of Women" was adopted.
The questions and answers in "The Analects of Confucius" are organized in an easy-to-understand manner.
Speaking of boneless lanterns, Jin Huabin wanted to break the casserole again and ask the question. He stood up and toasted to Stationmaster Gan and asked: "Stationmaster Gan, in your memory, are there any boneless lanterns in Qinzhou?"
"There are lanterns. Qinzhou is located by the sea. The sea breeze is strong and there is a smell of salt in the air. The lanterns were put on for a short time. I don't know what the difference is between those with bones and those without bones. The state chronicle records that Mrs. Chen and the fishermen made lanterns.
"Congratulations on such a short sentence." Director Gan said: "How about you go to the archives and check it out yourself after drinking?"
You must go to the archives. In the pile of historical old papers, you can more or less dig out some previously unknown truths. Jin Huabin and Su Yuehong hurriedly stood up and thanked them.
In the archives, Jin Huabin found a record about the imperial edict. The record said that the emperor sent a messenger named Liu, who traveled here from Lin'an for nearly two months. All the officials thought it was a reward.
, gathered around the magistrate's mansion to listen to the edict. Unexpectedly, after the edict officer opened the edict, the content was a scolding, saying that he had made his own decisions. But then he praised him fiercely.
Jin Huabin was a little confused: "What kind of thing is this? It's said that the merits and demerits are equal to each other. What about the future? Should you put your tail between your legs, or should you continue to do it based on your heart without knowing why?"
Su Yuehong shook his hand vigorously and said: "You are unpredictable, let's continue to read Chen Zhengda's story in the forum."
