Liu Chengfang announced the lottery of the lantern competition as early as a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival: the first prize is 1,000 taels of silver tickets, the second prize is 800, the third prize is 600, and the fourth place is 400 and the fifth place is 200.

Even if there is no color head, many people want to win the championship in one fell swoop, not to mention that there is such a rich reward, and those who can make lanterns are full of energy to get a good ranking.

People in this era still pay great attention to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the local lantern exhibition is going to be held, and even Luming Academy has been closed for seven days for the first time.

As soon as Liu Yongan went back in the evening, he smiled at Zhang's family: "I will take a seven-day break from tomorrow, does my mother need my help?" ”

My son is studying so hard, and there are a large number of people in the family, where do I need him to help? But Zhang likes to listen to this, and as soon as she was happy, she said: "I don't have anything to do, it's easy to take a break, and you are loose, just go where you want to play." ”

I wondered in my heart: Is my son short of silver? It's rare to take a break. Zhang thought for a while, took out twenty taels of silver tickets, and came out, "Did your classmates call you to play?" ”

Liu Yongan said: "As soon as my father's colorful head comes out, how can anyone be willing to play, everyone is busy making lanterns, do we want to make one too?" ”

Zhang smiled: "Forget it, there are countless skilled craftsmen, and it is estimated that we will not be able to make that kind of money." "Even if you can earn it, I'm afraid your father won't be embarrassed to let you earn it.

Liu Yongan said: "That's not necessarily, in addition to the ingenuity and ingenuity of the lantern, it is also necessary to have good calligraphy and painting." I'm looking for Jingjing to do it together, she is very accomplished in painting, and she must be able to paint vividly and compare with others, maybe she can really get a colorful head to come back and honor you. ”

Zhang said: "I don't know if your sister is used to living over there, I always feel that the house is empty when she leaves, I am afraid that the Wang family will miss me too much and be embarrassed to grow old, you can go over and see her." ”

As soon as Liu Yongan heard that Zhang's agreed, he didn't even bother to eat dinner, so he ran away.

When he arrived at Wang's house, Wang Jing was in the kitchen asking the cook to cook. It's crab season again, and Wang Jing specially steamed some crabs at night.

"I asked my sister for help." Liu Yongan said: "My brother has been a little short of money recently, and he wants to get some money to spend. Why don't I make lanterns, can you help me paint? When the time comes, we will divide the account fifty-fifty. I'll take a break from tomorrow, and it's only the eighth day of the new year, which is enough for us to make the most beautiful lanterns. ”

The highest lottery head is 1,000 taels, half of which is also 500, Wang Jing has already had the intention of doing it, but she hasn't figured out what to do yet, and now when she heard Liu Yongan say this, she was a little interested, "Then you come over tomorrow, let's discuss how to get it first." ”

Liu Yongan naturally agreed.

Wang Jing thought about her crab that was still steaming in the pot, this thing couldn't be steamed for a long time, but should you invite your brother to eat it? Wang Jing knew that he actually liked to eat crabs. But Liu Chengfang and Zhang's stomachs are not very good, even if it is the season to eat crabs, the family usually does not do this.

If she didn't think about this problem at all before, she would have blamed him for saying that he wanted her to marry him a few days ago, which made her always a little uncomfortable seeing him, but Wang Weichuan and Wen explained before leaving that they would not come back for dinner at night. If he was left to eat crabs, the two of them would have to eat at the same table alone. After all, she is Wang Jing, and her surname is not "Liu", and men and women are seven years old and do not sit at the same table. Forget it, let him go back and eat again.

Her tangled appearance fell in Liu Yongan's eyes, and she thought she had encountered some problem, "Jingjing, are you unhappy?" ”

Wang Jing shook her head and said no.

Liu Yongan stared at her seriously, and in his eyes, there was a feeling that she didn't quite understand, flickering and bright, making a person who was very familiar with him become extremely strange.

Suddenly, I regretted agreeing to make lanterns with him.

Wang Jing thought that she would be able to enjoy the meal after he left, but when she was really sitting there peeling crabs alone, thinking of the way he looked at him when he was leaving, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Until she finished eating a crab, Wang Jing suddenly remembered that Liu Yongan came in a hurry just now, and he just said that he would make lanterns and left again, where is it really so urgent, isn't it the same to come over tomorrow?

He is really hot, he thinks about it, maybe his mother is waiting for him to go back to eat at home. Thinking about it like this, she felt at ease again.

The next day, after breakfast, Liu Yongan came over with a large pile of bamboo, wood, silk, bright balls, jade pendants, silk spikes, feathers, shells, rice paper, knives, etc.

Wang Jing was dumbfounded, pointed to the pile of things and said, "Brother, when did you buy these things?" ”

"Naturally, last night, our shop opened a little late in the morning, and we were reluctant to open the door until the third pole of the day." Liu Yongan replied.

Wang Jing has also made lanterns, so she naturally understands that these things cannot be bought in a shop, but she is afraid that she will have to turn half a street. When he finishes shopping, won't it be the middle of the night?

That...... Did he have dinner last night?

"Uncle patronized these things last night, and he didn't eat dinner. When I went back, everyone in the yard rested, and the uncle was afraid of arguing with the old lady, so he didn't let people cook, so he went to the kitchen and took out a few cold steamed buns, and ate them with boiling water. Liubai said.

Wang Jing glared at him fiercely: "As your brother's personal servant, don't you know how to remind him if the master doesn't eat?" ”

Leave a blank heart: I clearly reminded me, the uncle and I also asked for two catties of cooked mutton in a small shop, but the uncle had to let me say this, I couldn't help it, I blamed the uncle's classmate named Zhao Bin, who was flamboyant all day long, and didn't teach the uncle, but taught him what 'the strong girl is afraid of pestering', which made my image in the eyes of the big girl plummet, in case the big girl really wants to marry the uncle in the future, I will definitely leave an impression in the eyes of the master that I don't take good care of the master! Alas, it's hard for people to do it these days!

Liu Yongan touched his nose, "At that time, I asked him to cut bamboo, and I don't blame him for forgetting it." ”

Wang Jing shook her head, "What kind of bamboo to chop, I asked someone to get a lot of wire back." ”

Liu Chenggui's son Liu Yongzhi didn't study anymore after winning Xiucai, Liu Chengfang got him to the Haozhou Mansion Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau to be the director, Wang Jing asked him to ask for wire is just a matter of one sentence.

Liu Yongan smiled: "My sister is still smart, and she has thought about everything." ”

Wang Jingxin said: Brother is reminding me that I didn't invite him to eat crabs yesterday, right?

"Brother has worked hard to buy things, I'll invite you to eat crabs at noon today." She said.

Liu Yongan's smile couldn't stop flowing out of the corners of his eyes.

Wang Jing said secretly: Actually, my brother looks good when he laughs.

Liu Yongan found that Wang Jing was looking at him, and his smile deepened.

It wasn't until noon that he realized that the only person who accompanied him to eat was Wang Weichuan. (To be continued.) )
