Datang romantic little landlord

Since there is no time to find skilled craftsmen to carve and make cumbersome and exquisite lanterns, it is better to use tricks and win with new ones.

The principle of the marquee is actually very simple.It is the heat generated by the burning of the lamp that causes the airflow, which drives the wheel shaft to rotate, thereby driving the paper-cut on the wheel shaft to rotate.The light projects the paper-cuts onto the lampshade, and the image changes and moves in an automatic cycle.

As for the marquee lantern, although historians have textual research in later generations, it is said that it was recorded in the Han Dynasty, but in fact, the marquee lantern did not appear until the Song Dynasty.

In the "Mengliang Lu" written by Wu Zimu in the Southern Song Dynasty, there is already a record of buying and selling revolving lanterns at the Lin'an night market in the capital.Zhou Mi's "Old Stories of Wulin" also has a description of "like sand playing shadow lights, horses riding characters, spinning like flying".

Li Wangyou and the beautiful boss have traveled to the Tang Dynasty for nearly a year, and have never seen anything like a marquee, so Su Changqing had a flash of inspiration and came up with this idea for Li Wangyou.

After listening to Li Wangyou's explanation, saying that he wanted to make a lantern that could rotate the patterns in the lamp without manpower, the dudes couldn't help being dumbfounded again.

"Ziyou, don't lie to the brothers, there is no one to drive this lantern, how can it spin endlessly by itself?"

"That's right. I've never heard of such a thing. This lantern is not your water wheel. Without water power, how can it rotate by itself?"

Li Wangyou rolled his eyes, these scientific idiots are really hard to communicate and explain.He didn't bother to talk nonsense with the dudes, he just told Niu Wu to ask Yan Liben to come to his house and help him make lanterns.

Yan Liben is good at organ setting, and he wants to build a marquee, how can he do without the help of this disciple?What's more, the craftsman who will be the supervisor has to be borrowed, and Yan Liben, the general supervisor and young supervisor, is needed to coordinate.

Seeing that Li Wangyou didn't seem to be joking, the dudes became even more interested, and they all stayed in Li's mansion, waiting to see how the lantern that could rotate by itself was made.

Yan Liben naturally didn't dare to neglect his teacher's call, and rushed to Kaihuafang in a hurry.When he heard that Li Wangyou hadn't made lanterns yet, he was in a hurry.

"Master, this is all the disciple's fault. Why did the disciple forget to remind the master? Please forgive me, sir! There are already made lanterns in the disciple's mansion, and the disciple will order someone to bring the lanterns later."

When Yan Liben said this, Li Wangyou naturally smiled and waved his hand to refuse.

Don't say that he has a solution now, even if he doesn't, he can't be so brazen to snatch his disciple's lantern, that would be too disrespectful to Fez.

"Liben, there is no need to worry. There are still three days until the Lantern Festival, which is enough to create an unprecedented lantern for the teacher, haha." After Li Wangyou finished speaking, he took him to the study room, and began to give him on paper. Draw a schematic diagram of a marquee.

The dandies rushed over to look at Li Wangyou's blueprints.

"Wonderful! Master! It's really wonderful! My disciple understands! Sure enough! The oil lamp in this lantern burns, and the heat it emits can drive the wheel shaft to rotate. It's really simple. Why didn't my disciple think of it? Master, great talent, The disciple understands."

As expected, Yan Liben was good at organ structure. After Li Wangyou explained it, he immediately understood the principle.Yan Liben bowed to his little teacher to show that he was educated.

For him, learning the production of these agency news is a great joy in life.As for his teacher, he is always delighted by unexpected creations.

But all the dandies could only look at each other in blank dismay, unable to understand what the pair of master and apprentice were talking about.

What do you understand?

Why didn't they understand anything?

Li Wangyou cast a contemptuous look at the dandies, this group of "semi-literate" are too lazy to talk nonsense with them.

"Teacher, this disciple will go to serve as a prisoner and find a few skilled craftsmen. We will definitely not delay the Lantern Festival."

Yan Liben quickly went to be the general prisoner, and helped Li Wangyou find a few skilled craftsmen, and began to build lanterns in the Li residence.

Three days passed in a hurry, with the help of Yan Liben and the craftsman who will be the supervisor, the lantern was finally produced.

The dandies gathered around the made lanterns, like a group of grandmas Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden, extremely novel.

"Tsk tsk, it's really like this, Ziyou, how did you grow such a delicate and exquisite heart?" Fang Yiai exclaimed, "If the court officials see this, don't you be shocked? It's no wonder my lord , I often say Ziyou that you are talented, let me learn from you."

"Yi love, don't bring it up again. I'm so angry when I talk about it. After the saint's birthday, my adults returned to the house and cleaned me up, Erlang and Sanlang. Let's learn more from Ziyou, this bastard. Speaking of this, I am so angry. Ziyou, tell yourself, how to compensate our brother for the loss?"

Cheng Chumo listened to Fang Yiai's words, and suddenly remembered that Cheng Yaojin had cleaned him up for no reason, and he jumped up in anger.

"That's right, it's the same for me and my brother!" The Yuchi twins were also angry when they mentioned this matter.

Li Wangyou was baffled by the words of these brothers, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, two old hooligans, it's none of your own business to clean up your brothers?Are you still unreasonable?

But the hero doesn't suffer from immediate losses, Li Wangyou saw Cheng Chumo's annoyed posture, turned around and ran away.But the dandies naturally refused to let him go, and chased after him with a strange cry, and there was another flutter in Li's house...

634 What about tricking ghosts?

On the Lantern Festival, Li Wangyou really didn't want to go to the palace to join in the fun.

This kind of cheerful and lively festival, shouldn't I be holding the tender little hand of the beautiful boss, leading Afuluo and Peilan to wander around in Chang'an city?

In comparison, going to the Tai Chi Palace to drink and have fun with Li Er was extremely boring.

But people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves.In the Taiji Palace, all officials are honored with banquets, but it is impossible for him, the founding county uncle, not to go.

But fortunately, there is no curfew today, and the three days of Shangyuan Festival are lively, almost all night long.He can only make an appointment with the beautiful boss, and after he finishes dealing with those things in the Taiji Palace, he will go back to the mansion and take the three girls out to visit the lanterns.

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the evening drum is beating as usual, which is different from the past. In the streets and alleys, there are no crowds rushing home amidst the sound of the evening drum.

The sound of the twilight drum seemed to be a signal, causing all the officials and nobles in Chang'an City to open the gates of their houses one after another, and a large group of servants raised the elaborately crafted lanterns in the mansion and headed towards Tai Chi Palace.

Li Wangyou naturally led Niu Yong, Niu Wu and a group of his followers, carrying the hurriedly made lanterns away from his house.

These lanterns need to be sent to the imperial city, and then lit up after nightfall. Li Er and Empress Changsun will lead the people in the palace to watch them one by one, make comments, and finally select the most exquisite lantern for today to give a reward.

Hundreds of exquisitely crafted lanterns are lined up one after another in the imperial city of Nuo Da, which is very spectacular.

However, compared with the cumbersomely carved lanterns with dragons and phoenixes in other mansions, the lantern brought by Li Wangyou's mansion is really too shabby.

This is naturally normal. After all, even if there are skilled craftsmen who will be the supervisors to help make it in three days, it can't compare with those lanterns that took half a year to carve.

The lantern, which is as tall as a person, looks very simple. Compared with the exquisite lanterns around, it is like an ugly duckling in a flock of swans.

Not only is there no carving at all, but it is also extremely elegant.

The polyhedral prismatic lantern, in addition to the lampshade bracket painted bright red with red lacquer, is separated by white gauze lampshades with seven or eight sides in the middle, which is extremely simple.

It is no exaggeration to say that even in the eastern and western cities, the folk lanterns sold by merchants are much more exquisite than the lanterns brought from Li Wangyou's mansion.

As soon as this lantern appeared, it naturally attracted the attention of all the officials.

"Wahhahaha, boy, what is this thing you brought? This thing is also called a lantern? Are you fooling a ghost?" Cheng Yaojin didn't shy away from it, and laughed and mocked directly.

Cheng Yaojin didn't know about the marquee, naturally it was because Li Wangyou kept the dandies a secret.He is going to let the "turtles", including Li Er, have a good experience of the magic of "science" today.

So the appearance of this lantern is so simple and elegant. It's not that the craftsmen in charge of the prison don't have time to decorate it, but Li Wangyou refuses to let it go.

He deliberately did not allow craftsmen to decorate the lanterns, for the sake of the strong shock brought by the contrast between the front and back.

The effect of the marquee can only be shown after the wick is ignited.And the more people despise the simplicity of his lantern, the more they will be shocked by the marquee later on. In this way, the chances of his lantern winning the championship will be higher.

It has to be said that Li Wangyou is also very black-bellied.In order to take down the lantern leader, even psychological warfare was used.

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's teasing at this time, Li Wangyou laughed even more happily.

"Haha, what's the point of Uncle Cheng's words? My little nephew carefully crafted this lantern, and it's the only one in the world. Today my little nephew is a reward for the saint's first name."
