The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 237 Li Duoduo, a master of pot throwing

During the Zhenguan period, banquets were the favorite of the Tang Dynasty, among which the banquets held by scholars were the most popular. Why? Because after the imperial examination was launched in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, ordinary scholars had the opportunity to pass the examination and enter the officialdom, which was the so-called "prosperity".

Our country has always been very particular about how people get along with each other, and when scholars enter officialdom, it is an important event in their lives, and banquets are naturally indispensable.

It can be said that the banquet accompanies the scholar's advancement.

The larger the banquet, the more banquets organized by powerful people, the more you have to attend, especially those banquets held for Jinshi. Because of the large number of participants and the rich banquet activities, it not only brings physical benefits to the new Jinshi. Satisfied and better prepared for their future careers.

The theme of the banquet was to congratulate the successful candidates. In fact, the banquet was attended not only by the successful candidates, but also by their relatives and friends, as well as those who wanted to establish relationships and recruit sons-in-law. Business people even took the opportunity to promote themselves. of high-end items.

With such a lively banquet near the capital, the common people naturally wanted to join in the fun. The size of the banquet grew stronger every year. The emperor in the palace was also an ordinary person and had no immunity to the lively scene, so he participated in the banquet. If you are lucky, you can even see the emperor and empress.

There are many games to play during the banquet. The most popular game among children in Zhenguan Chang'an now is bamboo horse riding.

Generally, children of powerful families under the age of ten are equipped with a bamboo horse. When they gather together, a group of people ride bamboos and chase each other happily. It is very unhappy. However, like many modern parents, they are not interested in children riding bamboo horses. Parents consider this behavior to be a plaything.

In addition to the bamboo horse, which is a favorite game for children, adults also have games such as throwing pots, throwing balls, catapulting, duck shooting, hiding hooks, and Shuanglu!

Li Duoduo has gone crazy playing. This time Cheng Chumo’s three sons also came. The four of them formed a first-class team and played various games in a crushing style. Don’t tell me, this guy Li Duoduo is against The game really has some genius.

She was accurate every time she threw the pot.

You think that throwing a pot is just about throwing the arrow into the pot and it ends. Of course it is not. After the evolution of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Han Dynasty, especially the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there have been many tricks in the pot throwing.

First, the three religions are of the same stream.Three people sit in the shape of "pin", each with four arrows.According to the position where they are sitting, the three people throw to the mouth of the pot, the left and right ears of the pot respectively.The one who puts in wins, the one who doesn’t enter loses.If the person sitting on the left/right throws an arrow into the right/left ear of the pot, it is considered a foul.Losers and offenders will be fined one drink.

The second is the snake entering the swallow's nest.Place the pot on flat ground.Then, the thrower leans down from a specified distance and throws the arrow a few inches above the ground.The one who puts it into the pot wins. If he fails to put it in, or puts it in his left or right ear, he will be deemed a loser and will be punished by drinking wine according to the regulations.

The third is spare military aircraft.The two people sat eight feet away from the pot, with their backs to the pot, and then threw the arrows backwards from their heads and shoulders.The one who puts in the mouth and ears of the pot wins, the one who doesn't put in the pot is the loser, and the loser is fined a drink.

As long as the thrower practices for a certain period of time and practice makes perfect, he can basically throw the arrow into the pot.By the Tang Dynasty, people may have felt that throwing pots like this was no longer "challenging", so the more difficult swing pots and Zhanger pots were created.

The swing pot is shaped like an ancient candlestick. The body of the pot is made of bamboo, with a three-legged lower end. The upper end is bifurcated into two ends. A horizontal bar is placed on the top. Three iron rings, one large and two small, are threaded on the horizontal bar to serve as the spout and ears. and install automatic machinery and equipment.When the arrow touches the spout or lug of the pot, the triggered automatic machine will shake the pot, causing it to rock back and forth or rotate like a swing, greatly increasing the difficulty of investing.

The Zhang Er Hu is named after its height.There are four lugs on the four sides of the spout. When the arrow touches the spout or the lugs, the pot will automatically rotate forward, backward, left, and right, which also increases the difficulty of investment.But these things are really not difficult at all for Li Duoduo. Her accuracy is extremely high, and she won a lot of money for this. Because children can't drink, Li Duoduo competed with the children who came to test They gamble.

The children were all eleven or twelve years old, so they all thought that Li Duoduo was easy to bully, and they were all willing to give some money to play with them. But after playing with them, they realized that Li Duoduo was too powerful.

"It's a hit, it's a hit!" The three brothers Cheng Boxian, Cheng Boxuan, and Cheng Boxan shouted loudly while collecting money from Li Duoduo. Others in the Cheng family would not dare to default on the money they collected.

"Hehe. Duoduo is so awesome. Brother An, please lend me Duoduo for a few days to play with." Yuchi Baolin looked at the little man in front of him who was throwing the pot with some greed, and he could hardly hold back his eyes. He liked him, but those who didn't know it thought Yuchi Baolin had some bad intentions.

But people who know Yuchi Baolin realized that Yuchi Baolin is like this not because of Li Duoduo, but because of Li Duoduo's pot-throwing skills. This Yuchi Baolin is a person who loves pot-throwing very much. I don't know why. This person will always have someone. Something that I particularly like.

But I am not very good at the things I like. There is a saying that I am good at food and love to play.

Because they knew Yuchi Baolin's preferences, some people with ulterior motives came to Yuchi Baolin to get some benefits. They did not drink or drink in pot throwing, but played with money. Over and over, Yuchi Baolin lost almost 1000 kuen in pot throwing. But I'm still very interested.

At this time, you should know Yuchi Baolin's burning eyes towards Li Duoduo.

"Okay. But, let's win five or five cents." Li An chuckled.

Yuchi Baolin immediately rejoiced: "That's great. I can give them all to Duoduo. As long as Duoduo gives this to her uncle, Duoduo will want the sun in the sky, and uncle will pick it off for her."

Yuchi Baolin made some heroic words, and you can see how much he wanted to feel proud in his heart.

Everyone also burst out laughing. At this moment, Li Duoduo, a little man, picked up two arrows and threw them out at the same time. There were only two clanging sounds, and the excited shouts of Cheng Chumo's sons could be heard all around. Voice: "Ah Shuang Guan Er, double it, the total is four hundred Wen."

"Yeah!" Yuchi Baolin almost clapped his hands happily. He was so excited that he almost jumped up with joy. At this moment, suddenly, there was a burst of insulting dialogue from the front.

"Asshole. Who allowed you to let your family in privately? You must know that you are using power for personal gain. I want to go to His Majesty and remove you from your post. Now you and your family must get out of Furong Garden immediately, because this place This is not a place for you people to come.”

This voice was particularly harsh and familiar. If Li An heard it correctly, this voice should be that of Tang Shanshi. This was an old friend. The last time the Tang family's incident ended, Li An ended it in a daze. At that time, because Ang Lee's foundation was unstable, he couldn't even think about ending it.

But it's different now. Li An looked at the people around him and said with a slight smile: "Let's go over and have a look."
