Zhou Qingzhu was dressed in linen and filial piety, although her expression was haggard, but she was calm and firm, and she did not have the anxious and helpless appearance before.

"Mrs. Zhou, don't come unharmed!" Yin Nuan returned the salute and said, "How can Mrs. Zhou be here?"

Zhou Qingzhu said: "The Er's family heard that you were leaving today, so they took the liberty to come and see you off. ”

Everyone saw that her clothes and hair were slightly moist and condensed, and it was obvious that she didn't know how long she had been standing here.

Ah Yuan said: "Qingzhu lady, have you gone back to your Zhou family's mansion?

"No, thank you A-Yuan for your concern. Zhou Qingzhu smiled a little when he heard this, and the fatigue of these days seemed to have faded a lot because of this sincere concern, "The servants of the Zhou Mansion were all coerced and lured by their uncle, and now that their uncle has passed away, they can't do anything." ”

"That's good. Ah Yuan said, "By the way, have you found the thing on that secret scroll?" said with some embarrassment, "The maid is just a little curious, Zhou Niangzi, you don't need to say it." ”

"Nothing. Zhou Qingzhu smiled and said, "Yesterday, I went to find it, but there are no rumored magical skills, and some are just bamboos all over the mountains." ”

"Bamboo?" Ah Yuan wondered, if it was just bamboo, how could it be worth so much trouble?

Yin Nuan and the water slave reacted immediately, thinking that the bamboo was of extraordinary quality, and it was only an excellent thing to make zuò lanterns. It's just that if you keep taking it endlessly, you will eventually run out of it. Therefore, the ancestors of the Zhou family kept this place secret, and the location was hidden on a piece of paper in the form of a dense scroll, which also gave these bamboos a chance to recuperate.

And the reason why I can only let the head of the family know the existence of this secret scroll is that I am afraid that if there are too many people who know, the secret of the secret scroll will be solved too soon, and the bamboo forest will not have enough time to cultivate.

It's just that I didn't think that their well-intentioned actions would lead to cannibalism among future generations.

Sure enough, Zhou Qingzhu said: "Those bamboos are all excellent things needed to make lanterns, and they are extremely precious. I think this is also a treasure left by the ancestors to future generations. ”

A few more people said a few more words. Yin Nuan and they planned to say goodbye and leave. Zhou Qingzhu took the box in the hand of the servant, handed it to them, and said:

"Yin Langjun, water slave lady, these are some simple dry food pastries, which are also a specialty of Songyun Town. I'll give you something to eat on the road! It's just that the craftsmanship of the family is not good, so please bear with me. ”

Yin Nuan didn't shirk it, thanked him and stretched out his hand to take it. If she was giving something other valuable and cold, I was afraid that there would be a refusal to say goodbye, but this kind of pastry that she made herself. But I really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"And this. Zhou Qingzhu smiled and handed over the cyan lantern in his hand, "After all, it is a fate, this will be given to you as a souvenir!"

"This is?" Ah Yuan stretched out his hand in surprise to take it, "The old green lantern you mentioned earlier?

Zhou Qingzhu shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not that one, this one was made by the Er's family last night." But it should be okay to stay for a few decades. ”

Ah Yuan was even more surprised, "But didn't you say that no one in your family can make it?"

The water slave took it and looked at it, and soon understood. "This is made of the bamboo in the bamboo forest that Zhou Niangzi said, right?"

"Yes. Zhou Qingzhu nodded, "The reason why this lantern emits cyan light is related to this bamboo, although the way to make zuò is still more complicated, but it can be made." ”

She said it lightly, but several people also knew that although it was related to the quality of bamboo, except for her, even if others had bamboo, they were afraid that they would not be able to do it.

"Beautiful gift. The water slave laughed. "Mrs. Zhou has a heart. ”

Zhou Qingzhu just shook his head and said with a smile: "The water slave lady doesn't have to be polite. ”

How can their kindness to her be repaid with a lantern?

Several people said goodbye again, although Zhou Qingzhu was reluctant. Still said: "Yin Langjun, Water Slave Lady, Ayuan Lady, Intian Lady, you have a safe journey here!"

"Mrs. Zhou, please stay, goodbye!"

A few people got into the carriage, and Ah Yuan poked his head out again and said, "Qingzhu lady, take care!"

"Take care!"

Zhou Qingzhu couldn't help but say out loud. Watching the carriage drift away, his eyes gradually moistened. Meet these people. It's really the biggest creation in her life.

It wasn't until the carriage completely disappeared from view that Zhou Qingzhu stood in place for a while before wiping away his tears. Let herself keep these touches in her heart, she still has a lot of unfinished business to continue to do.

Father's funeral is not over yet, the people in Zhou's house are still unstable, and this year's green lantern was not successfully held because of too many accidents, and she will definitely continue to work hard next year to inherit her father's green lantern name.

On the carriage, Ah Yuan opened the food box, and before he could see the situation inside, he said in surprise:

"What is it?"

Others were also a little surprised by this sweet and attractive fragrance, and couldn't help but take a look, only to see the perfectly shaped pastries neatly placed in the food box, and what was surprising was that the pastries were green, and the color of the bamboo passing outside the car window was as verdant and attractive as the color, and for a while, even the taste was a little fresh of bamboo.

A-Yuan distributed the pastry to a few people, and it was Inda's turn to see her hesitate for a moment, and then he also reached out and picked up a piece. In the end, I picked up a piece and took a bite, bit it a few times and swallowed it, and couldn't stop admiring, while saying:

"The pastries are so delicious, and the lanterns are so good-looking, the green bamboo lady really has a heart. ”

"I'm afraid that there are more than that. Inda said suddenly.

Ah Yuan was puzzled, "What else?"

"These two wooden boxes for pastries. Shui Nu smiled, "I'm afraid that I can buy several good pastry shops in Xin'an." ”

"What?" Ah Yuan picked up the box in surprise and looked at it carefully, and could see that the box was brand new, and it seemed to have a very good smell of sandalwood. Purple, but this purple is very beautiful, not the extremely frivolous color that is painted. Instead, it penetrates into the wood, with a bit of precipitation.

"The original color of this wood was purple. As if knowing what she was thinking, Yin Nuan opened her mouth to explain, and said, "The lady of the Zhou family is too polite." ”

"Uh-huh. After the water slave was surprised, he nodded hurriedly, "It's really too polite." Said a little sadly, "I don't know if there will be a chance to see each other again in the future." ”

"What do you want to do so much?" Inda interrupted her, "I'll see you again in the future." ”

Talking all the way back to the Yin family, I saw that I hadn't seen each other for a few days, and the Yin family was decorated with lights everywhere, a festive scene. (To be continued.) )
