A lantern that can reach the sky?
Ji Jin knew that this was the condition that Ning Wuyan promised to Ning Zhifeng. She thought it was to coax the children. Now that she heard it again, she couldn't help but wonder: "Is there really a lantern that can reach the sky?"
"Yes, it's called Kongming Lantern."
Ning Wuyang glanced at the sky.
If you just focus on practicing archery, if you continue practicing, it will be too late to make a lamp.
I don’t know if all the materials are ready.
Just thinking about it.
Ning Zhifeng's shout came from not far away: "Fifth brother, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and the bamboo strips you asked for...we have found them all!"
Ning Zhifeng was running in front, and Zhaodi was chasing after him quickly, carrying a basket on his back.
Ning Wuyan glanced at the colored papers of different colors in the basket, and said to Ji Jin, who looked surprised: "If Miss Ji changes her favorite colored paper, she can draw her favorite patterns on it and write her wishes. Then it can rise to the sky, and maybe it will come true."
In his view, the act of praying by placing lanterns has a strong romantic color and is a unique cultural feature.
As a human being, you should always have some dreams while living.
Realized or not realized, as long as it is there, it is the source of life.
Ji Jin thought of the wishes written in the lanterns that she had already made, and the blush on her face deepened. Under Ning Wuyan's gaze, she nodded lightly: "I understand, I'll go back and get colored paper."
After saying that, Ji Jin turned around again and left quickly.
After walking far away, the maid suddenly reacted and reminded loudly: "Miss, Miss Shen didn't follow."
"I know."
Ji Jin is not a person who forgets his friends when he sees sex, so he naturally knows that there is no one around him.
but.
She did it on purpose.
This kind of lantern that can fly into the sky is probably the first time that Youchu has seen it in his life.
Although this was her first time celebrating the Qiqiao Festival with Mr. Ning, in order to satisfy her friend's curiosity, she didn't mind letting Youchu join in.
Anyway, in addition to Youchu, there will probably be Miss Ning Wu and the little girl named Zhaodi spending the Qiqiao Festival together.
In this case, why not fulfill her wish to be with Mr. Ning while also having fun with her friends?
"What wish should I write?"
What Ji Jin is most worried about now is this problem.
The original wishes on the lanterns may not be written on colored paper. Now that they fly into the sky, they are likely to be seen by others.
She had to think about it.
…
yard.
Shen Youchu felt itchy as he watched Ning Wuyan take the basket to the martial arts arena and begin to chop the bamboo strips with a knife.
According to the agreement, Jin'er should be the first to find the account books and celebrate the Qiao Qiao Festival with Mr. Ning.
But she took another look at Ning Zhifeng and Miss Zhaodi who were sitting around Mr. Ning, and felt that Jin'er would not have a chance to be alone with Mr. Ning tonight.
"Mr. Ning, can I make one too?"
Shen Youchu took out a piece of pink colored paper, closed one eye, and looked through the light with the holes.
The world seemed to turn pink in an instant.
It would be so romantic to imagine that there would be pink lanterns flying into the sky carrying her wishes.
She pointed the colored paper at Ning Wuyan, who was splitting bamboo strips, and said in a pleading tone: "Will you take me to play with you?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't take you with me."
Ning Wuhuang finally concentrated on splitting a thick bamboo strip into a dozen thin and tough strips less than three millimeters, and then he could concentrate on talking to Shen Youchu.
Turning around, he saw Shen Youchu playing with colored paper with her head tilted, and he couldn't help but laugh: "I heard that Miss Shen is good at painting."
"Yeah, yeah."
Shen Youchu immediately took away the colored paper and nodded in response.
In fact, she is more than good at it.
Among the Daxing painters who are more skilled and more inspired than her, they can all be counted on one hand.
"Then you can help Zhifeng and Zhaodi draw some patterns they like, or teach them to draw some."
After Ning Wuyan finished speaking, he continued to chop the ribs with his sword.
If nothing unexpected happens.
After seeing the Kongming Lantern, many people will come to him to make this kind of lantern that can reach the sky.
Therefore, he had to prepare the materials in advance so as not to miss everyone's luck when the time came, which would ruin the fun.
If something happens to him, everyone will come to help him.
It is his duty to maintain everyone's interest in having fun.
One for all, one for all.
"Juxiang, please go find the steward and ask him to find any wire or copper wire that is finer than these."
After Ning Wuyang brought Shen Youchu into the group, he certainly didn't have to be merciful when he summoned her.
Kongming lanterns are easy to make. You only need to build the outer frame with bamboo strips, and then tie the paper, string and burning alcohol with iron wire or copper wire.
The wire Ning Zhifeng brought was too thick. Although it could ensure that it would not burn during takeoff, it was too heavy to fly.
He pulled out a piece of wire and gestured at Ju Xiang who was approaching.
"It's about three thick and thick."
Juxiang frowned.
So thin?
Could such a thin wire exist in an ordinary village?
Not to mention copper wire. Except for Yibei Road where steel is made, it is difficult to find copper wire on the market.
"Master Ning, I might have to go to the city."
Juxiang glanced at the westward sun and couldn't help but worry about whether it would be too late.
At this time, Mei Xiang stepped forward.
"Miss, I'm going to the city to look for iron wire and copper wire, and I promise to be back before the sun sets. Mr. Ning, is that okay?"
Ning Wuyang heard Mei Xiang speak after a long time.
Even Shen Youchu was stunned.
Huh?
Mei Xiang didn't speak, she had forgotten that the person around her who was best at running away was actually Mei Xiang!
"Okay, Mei Xiang, whatever style of lantern you like, I can make it for you."
"Thank you, Miss. Please write it down for me, Miss. My wish is that I can get a monthly silver gain this month."
Mei Xiang showed a money-obsessed expression.
She ran out of perfume.
I want to buy another bottle of orchid scented perfume.
She also wanted to let my mother and sister in the house try some iced drinks in the summer, but she really didn’t have enough money to spend, so woo woo...
Shen Youchu didn't expect that Mei Xiang would just stop talking and ask for money as soon as she spoke.
Still asking her for money in front of Mr. Ning.
It seemed as if she had treated Mei Xiang harshly.
But in fact, the moon silver of Meixiang is ten taels higher than that of Juxiang.
Shen Youchu pointed at his face and showed a kind smile.
"Miss, I am making lanterns for you to pray for blessings, not for you to pray for a tortoise in the wishing well. If you don't want to go, I will ask Juxiang to go. Remember, buy better iron wire or copper wire. Miss, I am not bad. money."
Shen Youchu took out a banknote from the purse at his waist and stuffed it into Mei Xiang's hand.
"Go ahead, buying three hundred should be enough, right Mr. Ning?"
enough.
Ning Wuyan nodded, looked at the denomination of the bank note, and silently stopped thinking about subsidizing Mei Xiang's errand fees.
As expected, Miss Shen is still the kind-hearted Miss Shen.
"Don't... Miss, don't ask Juxiang to go. I'll go. I'll go."
Mei Xiang took the banknote and looked back three times, thinking that the lady could agree to her request.
But until she was out of sight, she didn't hear Miss Zhang Yueyin's answer.
"If I had known earlier, I would have let Juxiang go."
She murmured, opened her palms and glanced at the bank note. She was so excited that she jumped up the ladder to the wall and looked towards the yard where the young lady was.
Miss!
You are my god!
"My lady is more effective than the tortoise in the wishing well."
Mei Xiang held a thousand taels of silver notes in her pocket and used all her strength to run faster than a horse.
…
Night falls.
Beicheng, which has always felt like a ghost town at night, was brightly lit today.
Even the streets outside Sangen Pavilion were bustling with people.
Zhou An heard the laughter of girls outside, covered his face, opened the window and looked outside.
Girls in various clothes on the street, holding a lantern in their hands, walked in groups towards the river bank.
"The Qiqiao Festival in Jinling is as lively as the one in the capital."
At this time in previous years, he would put out lanterns and make wishes with his sisters in the palace.
I pray that God can grant my father the dragon robe as soon as possible.
It's really boring to stay alone in this midnight pavilion this year, without the company of a beautiful girl, and only with a child covered in shit and piss.
"It would be great if Sangen Pavilion was built next to the river. At least we can still see the lanterns all over the river."
Zhou An muttered and was about to close the window.
