The frame of the prayer lantern is easy to make, but the difficulty is the color painting that is pasted on the outside.

Chen Zheng has studied sketching, but he is only a beginner painting enthusiast, and he can't even be called a painter.

Therefore, this part is the most energy-consuming and time-consuming.

The seven color paintings took Chen Zheng two days, and then after they were framed, the lanterns were completed.

Then, assemble the stand.

First, insert the support of the moire carving into the bamboo pole, and then connect the two bamboo poles with the steering device made by Chen Zheng himself, with the short pole on the top and the long pole on the bottom.

The bamboo pole bracket is completed, and the next step is to hang the lamp.

Chen Zheng looked up, and the bracket, which was nearly two people high, seemed to be out of reach.

Don't panic, as a qualified little carpenter, you can use all kinds of wood at hand to make handy tools.

Find a few pieces of wood of the right length, plane, chisel, and saw, and a human-shaped ladder is ready.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for completing the production of a qualified humanoid wooden ladder, carpentry experience +10!"

The prompt of the system sounded, and in the process of making the wooden ladder, Chen Zheng didn't pay much attention, just thinking that it could be used, and the result was really only qualified.

Humanoid wooden ladder in good condition: Stable +7

It was enough to have this stable attribute value, and Chen Zheng didn't expect this wooden ladder to be used for other purposes.

Prop up the wooden ladder, carry the finished prayer lanterns, and hang them on the upper and lower layers of supports.

With three lights on the top and four lights on the bottom, Chen Zheng inserted the crank handle that had been prepared long ago into the hole on the bamboo pole, and turned it slightly, and the upper and lower layers of prayer lanterns immediately turned up.

It's just that the two layers of prayer lanterns turn in opposite directions, which is very ingenious.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for completing a well-quality prayer lantern, carpentry experience +88!"

Chen Zheng stopped and turned to check the properties of the prayer lantern:

A well-conditioned prayer lantern: Dazzling +8, Bright +8

Double 8 attributes, Chen Zheng is very satisfied, he can imagine that on the night of the Qiqiao Festival, this prayer lantern will be brilliant.

Yue Xiaorong didn't ask Chen Zheng what he was busy with during the day, and Chen Zheng didn't say anything, the two seemed to have a tacit understanding.

Finally, the begging festival has arrived.

On this day, Chen Zheng got up early in the morning for the first time, and when he woke up, Yue Xiaorong was still asleep.

Taking advantage of the dim light at dawn, Chen Zheng supported his head with one hand and looked at Yue Xiaorong carefully.

Beauty sleeping picture!

Looking at Yue Xiaorong's white face and eyelashes that fluttered slightly from time to time, Chen Zhengqiang resisted the urge to take a sip of incense.

Chen Zheng woke up so early today, not to do such a boring thing, he had more important things to do.

Dressed lightly, Chen Zheng got out of bed and fetched a small clay pot, and then went out.

Yue Xiaorong, who was lying on the bed, sighed softly, then slowly opened her eyes, looking at Chen Zheng's departing back, thoughtfully.

Yue Xiaorong didn't go to practice today, as the owner of Hongsong Village, she had to preside over a series of activities such as sacrifices during major festivals such as the Qiqiao Festival, and she couldn't leave.

After lying on the bed for a while, Yue Xiaorong also got up, and as soon as she got out of bed, she heard footsteps outside, it was Chen Zheng back.

Chen Zheng was afraid of arguing Yue Xiaorong to sleep, so when he pushed the door, he gently pushed the door, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Yue Xiaorong sitting at the table, looking at him with a pair of beautiful eyes.

A little embarrassed, Chen Zheng smiled wryly and said, "Lady, are you awake?" ”

"Just woke up, what did Xianggong do early this morning?" Yue Xiaorong said.

Chen Zheng came to Yue Xiaorong's side with the small clay pot and said, "Isn't today a begging festival?" I went and picked some dew to clean my hands and eyes. ”

"Dew cleans hands and eyes?" Yue Xiaorong didn't quite understand.

Chen Zheng knew in his heart that Yue Xiaorong was not interested in the Qiqiao Festival because she didn't know how to make prayer lanterns, and then she didn't know much about some of the customs of the Qiqiao Festival.

So, Chen Zheng explained: "According to legend, the dew on the day of the Qiqiao Festival is transformed by the tears of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. ”

"How can it be so magical." Yue Xiaorong naturally didn't believe it.

Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Of course there won't be such a miracle, but this is people's yearning for a better life. ”

Yue Xiaorong lowered her eyes to see that Chen Zheng's shoes and trouser legs were wet with dew, which showed that he had also put a lot of effort into picking these dew.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Yue Xiaorong said.

Chen Zheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly found a washbasin to pour the dew into it, and soaked the face towel into it.

"Lady, I'll wipe your eyes for you." Chen Zhengdao.

"Hmm."

Yue Xiaorong agreed, then closed her eyes, looking like she was picking up your clothes.

Chen Zheng took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then used a face towel to help Yue Xiaorong wipe her eyes, which is called purifying her eyes.

After a long while, Chen Zheng was still wiping, Yue Xiaorong finally couldn't help it, and said, "Xianggong, wipe your eyes, I'll wash my hands myself." ”

……

On the day of the Qiqiao Festival, Yue Xiaorong was also very busy, and after breakfast, she went to host a series of festival activities.

Burning incense to worship Sister Qiao, Tie Xiangqiao, and divide Qiaoguo, this busy survive, the sun will slope westward, and the next time is the carnival of women.

There are all kinds of games and competitions.

Even Chen Zheng followed Yue Xiaorong's side, watching it with relish.

Yue Xiaorong didn't seem to be really interested in the Qiqiao Festival, except for the ritualistic sacrifice, she didn't participate in other game activities, just watched by the side.

"Won't the owner of the village come and try it?" A woman said suddenly.

Chen Zheng raised his eyes and saw that the girl was the same age as Yue Xiaorong, with a goose egg face, a dark complexion, and Danfeng's eyes seemed to be reasonable, looking directly at Yue Xiaorong.

"Who is this girl? Yue Xiaorong is the owner of the village, she is not afraid at all! Chen Zheng secretly thought in his heart.

I saw Yue Xiaorong smile slightly and said, "Ah Xia, you can just play these games." ”

The girl named Ah Xia snorted lightly and said, "I heard that the owner of the village is not a female celebrity, so he won't even know how to thread the needle, right?" ”

Yue Xiaorong's face changed, Chen Zheng secretly shouted badly, the two of them have lived together for a while, and he has never seen Yue Xiaorong move needlework, it seems that she really can't be a woman.

And Ah Xia and some of them are fighting, called "threading needles and seven tricks", with a color thread through seven pinholes, who wears faster, it means who begs for more skill, and those who wear slowly are called "losing skill", and the person who loses "loses skill" will give the gift prepared in advance to the skillful person.

"Why don't I come?" Chen Zheng leaned up and said.

After the girls heard this, they all giggled, and Ah Xia glanced at it and said, "This is a girl's game, what are you here for?" ”
