"Master, Master Fang Cai Qu said with a message, inviting you to Nanxiangyuan to drink tea and fight cocks!" As soon as Liu Shilang walked into the study and sat down, a doorman came in to report.

"Cockfighting...... Chicken with legs, ......" Liu Shilang twitched and muttered to himself, but after thinking for a while, he quickly stood up and ordered: "Go to the chicken coop to help me catch a chicken in better condition, and go to Nanxiangyuan with the old man......"

Two moments later, Liu Shilang took the servant to carry a bamboo cage and went out in a carriage, and the cage contained a big rooster with scattered wings and almost bald naked.

When Liu Shilang arrived, there was also a familiar official who also came by car, and after getting out of the car, both of them looked at the chicken coop carried by the other party's servant and looked at each other.

"Tsk, Lord Liu, your chicken is very distinctive, and today you are preparing to go bare-chested!"

Liu Shilang also looked at the bald neck of the big rooster in the other party's cage for a long time and said, "The tall man's chicken is also very distinctive!" This neck hair plucking is quite novel! ”

"Yes, yes, haha, please inside!"

"Please~"

The two of them took the servants to carry the chicken coop into a house in Nanxiangyuan, which had gathered five or six people at this time, although they were all wearing civilian clothes, but they were all officials of the three provinces and six ministries, and these people often got together to fight cocks and dogs and drink tea and pitch pots in their spare time, so they were very familiar with each other. There were still a few ridged feathers on the wings and buttocks, curled up in the cage and shivering, I don't know if it hurts or freezes.

"Lord Liu has a lot of roosters at home, why did you pick a hairless one today?"

"Yes, yes, you're showing pure contempt for us!"

"Could it be that Lord Liu wants to invite me to eat chicken today?"

A group of people talked excitedly around Liu Shilang's chicken coop.

But Liu Shilang pointed to the roosters in several other chicken coops and said, "Why are your roosters hairless on their necks?" ”

"My chicken neck feathers were plucked off by the little girl to make chicken feather shuttlecock!" A young official in his thirties said with a smile.

"My family's too!"

"So is my family!"

Several officials were in unison.

"What is a shuttlecock?" Liu Shilang asked inexplicably.

"I heard that it is a kind of juggling invented by Qinghe Hou, the gameplay is similar to Keju, but it is extremely light, with the foot repeated throwing and kicking, you can fitness, quite fun!" An official explained with a smile.

"This shuttlecock first rose in the women's college, and in recent days, people in many places have begun to make play, and the little girl went home to make shuttlecocks, and plucked the feathers that I had raised for three years while the old man was not paying attention......"

"I see! The old man finally understood......" In the gossip of a group of people, Liu Shilang finally understood.

"Lord Liu, tell me why your chickens are pulled so neatly, at least more than ten shuttlecocks are made, right?" An official quipped.

"Alas, the old man can't say a word...... Liu Shilang said that the chickens in the family were bald at the beginning, and only then did he see his chickens being seduced to the academy and being plucked naked.

"It's so miserable~" An official shook his head.

"It's miserable, but the people of Qinghe Hou pulled it out, and Lord Liu still recognized it!" The other also sighed.

"The old man estimates that the roosters in the entire Xianyang are going to suffer, and when I go home today, the old man will put the chicken coop in the bedroom and take care of it personally!"

And this matter is similar to what these officials speculated, a small chicken feather shuttlecock has stirred up the whole Xianyang in recent days, and with the new toy of chicken feather shuttlecock from the women's college, almost every family's rooster has suffered, and the family with many children has not enough rooster feathers, so they can only go to the poultry market to find it.

And this situation is exactly the same as the original pickled vegetables, the emperor's harem also caused a frenzy of kicking shuttlecock because of the chicken feathers brought back by a few little princesses, up to the concubines and down to the palace maids, every day someone arranges to collect the beautiful soft hair on the rooster's neck, everyone is not only better than which shuttlecock kicks, but also more beautiful than which shuttlecock.

So countless palace people collect beautiful chicken feathers in Xianyang all day and night, and the carts are pulled into the palace, and the backyard is full of fluttering chicken feathers, and even some people don't even let go of the birds fed by the palace, and the feathers on the neck of a group of pheasants in the garden are plucked out in the middle of the night.

Of course, the rooster on Chen Xu's house did not escape this fate, and the chickens and dogs chased by a group of domestic servants finally pressed to the ground and plucked their neck hair, making chicken feather shuttlecocks for Xing'er Yu Ji and a group of little maids in the house.

Looking at the big walking around the yard with a long bare neck, Chen Xu was very happy.

Nima's revenge of being pecked by the neighbor's big when she was a child is finally avenged.

In early winter, a small shuttlecock swept the entire Xianyang City.

Daqin Metropolis Daily even wrote a detailed description of the production of shuttlecock and the rules of the game.

With the continuous spread of newspapers, in more than a month, the winter fitness game of chicken feather shuttlecock will be known to the world, and it is estimated that the neck of the world's big roosters will be less than a scarf this winter, but what Chen Xu doesn't know is that his subordinates have also carried out more inhumane actions on Liu Shilang's rooster......

The newspaper has begun to show its unique power, any wind and grass in Xianyang, will lead the trend of the world like a popular benchmark, with the spread of the four-wheeled carriage production method, the big city carriage has begun to be updated in large numbers, and even heard that there are businessmen in Luoyang who have raised a sum of money to learn from Xianyang to open a bus......

Although it is not particularly cold at the moment, it is winter after all, the trees and flowers have withered, the crops have already been harvested, there are farmers who plough the fields in the farmland, and the Weihe Plain, which is lively and full of vitality on weekdays, also seems a little lonely and lonely.

Weihe Bridge from the end of June began to plan to start construction, the history of nearly three months finally rushed to the winter before the arrival of all completed, railings and bridgehead deck decoration has also been completed, now has been dazzling nearly a month, after the Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Industry craftsmen and craftsmen after strict testing, confirmed to fully meet the conditions for opening to traffic.

On October 18, this is the official opening time confirmed after Chen Xu's deduction, and everyone doesn't know where the auspiciousness of this time is, but since Qinghe Hou said auspicious, it is naturally auspicious.

Today's weather is fine, and it is a rare warm winter sun.

The Weihe Bridge, which is a hundred feet long with the approach bridges at both ends, is brushed with a layer of lime slurry, and after drying, it looks like a white dragon lying horizontally on the sparkling Wei River, which looks very eye-catching and domineering.

Millions of people in Xianyang and a large number of people in the area of the Inner History Mansion poured to both ends of the bridge, and the black crowd squeezed the water within a few miles of the bridge.

A full 20,000 lieutenants and forbidden troops held the Changge banner, draped all over their bodies to isolate the bridge from the people, and the emperor kicked and trampled out of the east gate of the city under the escort of 3,000 guards and 500 Xuanwu guards.

Qin Shi Huang was dressed in a brand-new dark dragon robe, wearing a black crown of cupola, and his face was majestic as he sat on a newly built luxury four-wheeled Tianzi chariot with a lengthened and widened face and passed through the city gate.

After the car of the Son of Heaven was driven, it was the car of several imperial concubines and princes such as Concubine Zheng and Shufei, and then the carriage of hundreds of officials and princes and princes from the three provinces and six ministries.

The bamboo, wood and stone that had been piled up at the head of the bridge had long been emptied, revealing a spacious and flat open space with an area of nearly 1,000 acres.

The forbidden army dispersed, dispersed the people around the clearing, and retreated dozens of feet.

The car of the Son of Heaven stopped steadily, and the princess and the civil and military officials all got out of the car.

Chen Xu, who had been waiting at the bridgehead for a long time, led a group of officials, craftsmen, craftsmen and officials from the Academy of Sciences and the factory to greet him and bow down.

"Your Majesty!"

"Aiqing is exempt, everyone is exempt!" Qin Shi Huang was very happy to step forward and personally help Chen Xu and said, "This bridge is so majestic and domineering, and it is as solid as a rock, today is a good and auspicious day for the official passage of cars and horses, Aiqing accompanied me and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers to go on the bridge to have a look!" ”

"The minister's decree~" Chen Xu bowed again, then turned to Zhang Cang and said, "Dean Zhang arranged a lion dance firecracker and danced to celebrate!" ”

"Set off firecrackers and dance music!" Zhang Cang turned around and yelled.

"Set off firecrackers and dance music~"

"Set off firecrackers and dance music~"

As several officials in charge of the passage celebration roared loudly, two long strings of red firecrackers hanging on the railing of the bridge were ignited, and puffs of cyan smoke rose into the air with a crackling explosion.

"Knock knock, knock knock~~" With the explosion of firecrackers, dozens of cowhide drums and huge gongs lined up were sounded.

"Woo~~Woo~~~" Hundreds of tall and strong men standing at the head of the bridge blew the horn trombone, and the deep voice echoed through the field outside the entire Xianyang East Gate, and the long voice was far away to dozens of miles away.

To the sound of horns and drums, two colorful lions tossed to the rhythm of the strong drum music, and performed a lion dance in the open space, dancing towards the bridge.

"Your Majesty, please, your Excellency~" Chen Xu was also excited at this time and bowed his hand to the emperor and a group of officials and princes behind him.

"Haha, let's go, I can't wait!" Qin Shi Huang laughed and took Chen Xu's hand and strode behind the two lions to the bridge, hundreds of princes and princes and civil and military officials also followed, looking at the emperor and the Marquis of Qinghe who were walking arm in arm, everyone was in a different mood.

The completion of this bridge will not only greatly strengthen the connection between Xianyang and the Central Plains, but also greatly alleviate the business travel traffic from the south to the north, and will be more convenient for the circulation of goods.

And the most important thing is that this bridge will definitely make the reputation of the Marquis of Qinghe rise to the point of admiration again, and I am afraid that no one will be able to put the identity and status of the Marquis of Qinghe in the future.

Because this bridge, is a miracle.

A miracle comparable to immortal magic.
