Chapter 427: Red Lantern (4)
The child's eyes were lowered and he fell two feet and three inches in front of him, motionless. Speaking of his father, the original innocence in his eyes was shrouded in a mist.
"What's wrong?" Qing Qian looked into those eyes, remembering that he had shrunk in a corner like this many years ago.
"My dad won't bandage me. His eyes turned to his palms again, and he seemed to sigh and gasp, "He will only say that I am useless and do not work hard." You say, everything in the world, you can really do it with hard work?"
Dongfang Qingqian didn't dare to answer.
"Take my father as an example, he also learned this craft from elementary school, going up the mountain to cut bamboo and selecting materials, and he learned the subtle carving skills. But so what?" said the child, with a contemptuous smile on his lips, as if he looked down on his father, "I know what I can't do, and I always think that I can do it as a child." ”
Dongfang Qingqian still didn't dare to answer.
The child probably thought that she would be bored if she didn't speak for a long time, so she suddenly changed the direction of the wind, "Eh, who are you? Why do you always follow me? My father said that some bad people want to kidnap the child." ”
The East is shallow, she is the king of a country, although there are no beauties in the harem, but she will not abduct a child?
She couldn't help but smile, the corners of her eyes showing pleasure, "I just think you're a funny kid." ”
The children didn't like to hear this, so they rubbed their heads and stood up, "But I don't think you're an adult!"
It seems that Yu Qian's tone is still ringing in his ears, interesting, really interesting......
She was dizzy and quickly shook it soberly, remembering what was going on, "I heard that there is a lantern exhibition at the end of the month in Dongfang, and you said that you can make lanterns, so you will definitely participate?"
The child nodded stunned, "My father told me to go......!" What a damn ......."
"Ahem...... she cleared her throat, and then touched the melon, "Then are you ready for the lanterns to be exhibited? I heard that this time you will pass the vote to select the most wonderful lanterns." It's not like any work can be seen!"
"You know so much. The child complained all the way, and his legs and feet seemed to unconsciously go deep into the bamboo forest, "You have said that I am better than you, although my lantern is not as good as my father's, but it is definitely better than yours! ”
It's totally – there is no comparison.
The kid walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest, except for the dense bamboo leaves at this end, the daylight seemed to be darker, and the spring flowers were blooming outside, but there was a little cold wind here.
There is a family in the depths of the bamboo forest, and it is not inhabited when you get closer, and there are a lot of wood and bamboo materials piled up, which should be this kid's workshop.
"What are you bringing me here for?"
The child's walnut eyes blinked, "Come in and know!"
In the open space in front of the workshop, there is a delicate wooden table, carved like a flying peng, spreading its wings and standing like a flock of cranes. Dongfang Qingqian has seen a lot of wood carvings, but such vivid works have never been seen on weekdays.
Tsing Yi was like waves, and between the fluttering clothes, a young man stood in front of the wooden table.
"Little Momoren, why did you come back?" a gentle smile under the cold color, such a smile turned out to be on this man's face.
"Brother Wushuang, didn't you say it, don't call me Little Taoren......" Xiao Taoren blushed, looked back at Qingqian, and unexpectedly turned even redder.
The smile was fleeting when it touched her, and the cold color deepened a lot, Ji Wushuang made a move, but she refused.
"Brother Wushuang-" Xiao Taoren's coquettish energy is completely different from the majesty when she shouted shrew.
"It's this woman who broke my lantern three times and twice, and ruined my business, you take care of it!"
Ji Wushuang's face was as indifferent as the green clothes, and his eyes still carried the coldness of the original banquet.
"Your Excellency is coming, little Taoren, go and get tea. ”
Xiao Taoren hadn't heard this command clearly, but looking at Ji Wushuang's face, he rushed into the house.
The eyes did not warm up at all, and the workshop in the depths of the big bamboo forest was still stared at by such a cold gaze, and Dongfang Qingqian was uncomfortable.
"I haven't seen Ji Gongzi in Shiqingmen before, so I didn't expect to see him here. ”
He Mu Mu nodded, his gaze still falling on her, "You want to help Xiao Taoren?"
"I want to help, but I don't always want to. ”
The corners of Ji Wushuang's mouth were appreciative or felt that her words were tasteless, "Little Taoren's father, and even his father's father have never escaped such a fate. ”
"But perhaps, he could. ”
Ji Wushuang had heard such hopeful words before, and knew that when he saw his father die, all the hope in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
"The most painful thing in the world is not despair, but ......," a bitter smile smiled at the corner of his mouth, "and the discouragement after repeated hopes." ”
Ji Wushuang's expression made her uncertain, he should also be a member of the Shiqing Sect, so what was the will of his ancestors to stay? would make such a person live like a living dead.
Xiao Taoren brought a pot of tea and respectfully made it for the two of them, but in fact he was not so kind, and tried to be careful on the side.
"Little Taoren, is this where you make lanterns?" she touched the delicate wood carving between her fingers, but was intercepted by Ji Wushuang.
"This is what Grandpa Momohito carved before, don't touch it. ”
Qing Qian had to stop, didn't he clearly drink tea and chat on it?
Little Momo took a few lanterns from the back room and handed them to her, "Look!
The lanterns are light and well-organized. The brocade above was smooth and red, and although she couldn't understand these lanterns, it was indeed a good product at a glance. It's just that such products are too ordinary.
"The red lantern made of the little walnut has been made by their grandparents and grandchildren for three generations, and the monarch should not expect to win by this. ”
Ji Wushuang's sentence made her even more suspicious, his intentions were not really to help Xiao Walnut, so why did Fang have such a gentle smile, clearly and undisguised.
She simply ignored him, turned to look at Little Walnut and asked, "Little Walnut, are these the lanterns you want to exhibit?"
Little Walnut nodded.
Qing Qian's eyebrows showed a difficult color, but he was still restrained among the two in front of him, not to mention that such a work was voted for, even if it was on the lantern exhibition, it may not be selected. Fortunately, it was a vote, otherwise the palace election would not have given him the back door openly.
Qing Qian changed his tone and persuaded, "Do you know that the lanterns at the lantern festival should be exquisite and beautiful, and it is better to have a few more colors, and it would be better to add some reliefs." ”
"Stupid!" Little Walnut suddenly became irritable, "No! Daddy said that only the red lantern is the most authentic and can best reflect the righteousness of the lantern! ”
Dongfang Qingqian couldn't help but sigh, the residual will was really deadly.
