Chapter 305: Lantern Festival
It's actually not that hard to make lanterns. As long as you can tie the shape of the lamp with a bamboo skewer, and then paste the lantern with paper. It's just that this is also a clever job.
Yinyu doesn't do this often, but he is naturally not a person who will give up easily when encountering difficulties. It's a big deal, it's a lot of trying, and now there are still more than ten days before the Lantern Festival, how can it be made before that.
"Really?"
Wanwan thought about it for a while, and said, "Then I want a rabbit lantern." A white rabbit, and the kind with ears. β
She can be regarded as giving Yinyu a problem.
The hurdle of plum blossoms has not yet passed in her heart.
"Okay." Yinyu really agreed, and said: "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to do it before the Lantern Festival." β
The days passed like this day by day.
Wanwan originally said that she wanted to collect the snowflakes on the plum blossoms, and the elegance of the ancients, Wanwan had only seen it in books before, and later found that her Ama and Eniang would sometimes follow suit.
Although, Wanwan doesn't think that the snowflakes collected on the plum blossoms are used to make tea, and there is no difference between making tea from ordinary well water.
It's just that it's okay to think that the psychological feelings are different.
It's just that collecting snowflakes is a delicate matter after all. Wanwan has been an impatient person since she was a child, and after collecting a small urn with a small urn, her hands were already sore.
"Sure enough, I don't have the physical strength I had when I went up to the trees to dig birds." Wanwan sighed, so she simply picked it up and gave the small urn in her hand directly to Qinglan.
When Qinglan took the small urn, a trace of bitterness flashed on her face, and she looked at Nian Xia standing beside Wanwan.
He, Nian Xia and Xiuyue were originally collecting snowflakes together. Now that Wanwan is gone, Nian Xia can't leave Wanwan alone, so she naturally has to serve Wanwan.
In this way, the only person who can help Qinglan collect snowflakes together is Xiuyue.
The two of them are now doing what the previous four people were doing. A trace of bitterness flashed on Qinglan's mouth, and at the same time, she sighed helplessly in her heart.
Why can't he take his turn for any good things, this is really miserable.
In the days that followed, Wanwan didn't really have much to do. After basically reading the book, Wanwan remembered the proposal that Yinyu had given before.
It's good to have nothing to do and go out for a walk.
As soon as she went out this time, Wanwan met Qi Huan on the street outside.
Qi Huan, who was a protΓ©gΓ© under Wanwan Ama in the past, cried bitterly and kowtowed to Wanwan Ama when he left the Chen family.
After the Chen family's case was overturned, it seems that Qi Huan's life is now better. When he took people out to wander around the street to buy paper-cuts, he always had a faint smile on his face.
Wanwan saw Qi Huan in the carriage and saw it from afar. Wanwan didn't get down from the carriage, but just lifted the curtain and looked at it a few more times.
Such a person, if only he could be like his name, Qi Huan would be fine.
Wanwan thought, put down the curtain, and led Nian Xia and Xiuyue to go shopping together.
New Year's goods, in addition to melons, fruits and candies, are those red paper-cuts. There are colored paper pasted on the windows to decorate, and there are some colored paper pasted on the door to make the door god town ghost.
Wanwan was not interested in any of these things, and the housekeeper of the Fourteenth Elder Brother Mansion had already purchased them. Wanwan just glanced at it casually and skipped it.
After wandering around for a short time and returning to the house, Wanwan didn't even realize that she had bought a lot of things unknowingly.
Rouge gouache or something, Wanwan helped Nian Xia and Xiuyue choose some. In addition, there are more melons and fruits or something.
These foods can be eaten when they are bored and chattering on weekdays.
The Lantern Festival has arrived quietly.
Early in the morning, when Wanwan opened her eyes and woke up, she found that it was snowing outside, and it was still goose feather snow. A large snowflake fell like this, and the whole world was about to turn white.
"Fu Jin is awake?"
When Nian Xia came in from outside, he brought a gust of wind at the door. All of a sudden, a lot of snowflakes poured in.
"I don't know if the Lantern Festival will be held as scheduled." Nian Xia carried the water into the house, and couldn't help but sigh a little as she walked inside.
"Such a big snow, such a big wind. You see, when the slave and maid came in, the snow also came in. β
She had only walked under the verandah for a while, and the basin of hot water that had just been brought from the room next to her was only a little warm.
The weather is unpredictable, and there is really no way.
"It doesn't matter." Wanwan thought that she had been shopping in the past few days, and she had basically seen everything she wanted to see, but there was nothing to regret.
That is, the Lantern Festival could have guessed the lantern riddles. She still remembers those pleasant memories when she was a child, and she never thought that in the first Lantern Festival in the capital, she would not have the opportunity to guess the lantern riddles.
She had seen a beautiful marquee before, but after thinking about it at that time, she didn't buy it back, and now she has no chance.
"If Fujin is really bored, the slave maid will bring in a few potatoes and sweet potatoes later, and we will bake sweet potatoes by the fire."
Nian Xia smiled: "When the weather is clear, you can also make some meat skewers and eat them in the yard while roasting the fire." β
Thinking of such a scene of sitting together, Nian Xia immediately yearned for it. She didn't know when the snow would stop, and she really didn't want to go out.
"Okay, okay, when the snow stops, you can play as much as you want." After Wanwan finished washing, Xiuyue quickly brought the breakfast.
Breakfast was sesame glutinous rice balls and wine-stuffed meatballs, and Wanwan had just eaten half of it when she saw a shadow standing there at the door.
"Fujin." Qinglan knocked on the door, and then the moment she opened the door, she also blew in with a burst of snowflakes.
Wanwan was eating outside, and such a gust of wind blew in, just right on Wanwan's face. Wanwan didn't wear a collar, and instantly felt a chill on her neck.
"What do you do?"
Yinyu, who was beside Qing Lan, quickly patted Qing Lan's head and scolded: "You just pushed the door open, and the wind all came in!" β
It's a stupid minion! Though... Yinyu himself knows that in this case, no matter when he opens the door, it will be like this. It's just that there is nothing wrong with scolding Qinglan.
"The minion is wrong." Qinglan was aggrieved and aggrieved, and she was about to cry. Then, he glanced at the rabbit lantern that Yinyu was holding in his hand.
