A lantern that can go to the sky?

Ji Jin knew that this was the condition that Ning Wuxian promised Ning Zhifeng, she thought it was to coax a child, but now that she heard it again, she couldn't help but wonder: "Is there really a lantern that can go to the sky?" ”

"Yes, it's called Kong Ming Lantern."

Ning Wuxuan glanced at the sky.

Patronizing the practice of archery, if you continue to practice, it will be too late to make lanterns.

I don't know if the materials are ready.

Just thinking about it.

Not far away, Ning Zhifeng's shout came: "Fifth brother, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and the bamboo strips you want...... We've got it all! ”

Ning Zhifeng was running in front, and Zhao Di in the back was chasing after him with a basket on his back.

Ning Wuxian glanced at the different colors of colored paper in the basket, and said to Ji Jin, who looked surprised: "If Miss Ji changes the colored paper she likes, you can draw your favorite pattern on it and write your wishes, and then she will be able to rise to the sky, maybe it will come true." ”

In his opinion, the act of praying for the lantern has a strong romantic color and is a unique cultural feature.

People, there must always be some dreams in life.

To achieve it or not to achieve it, as long as it is there, it is a source of life.

Ji Jin thought of the wish written in the lantern she had already made, the blush on her face deepened, and under Ning Wuxian's gaze, she nodded lightly: "I know, I'll go back and get colored paper." ”

After speaking, Ji Jin turned around again and left with a brisk walk.

Walking out of the distance, the maid reacted violently and reminded loudly: "Miss, Miss Shen didn't follow." ”

"I know."

Ji Jin is not a person who forgets his friends, so he naturally knows that there are few people around him.

But.

She did it on purpose.

Like this kind of lantern that can fly into the sky, I think it is the first time I have seen it in my life.

Although this was the first time she had celebrated the Begging Festival with Ning Gongzi, in order to satisfy her friend's curiosity, she didn't mind letting Youchu join.

Anyway, in addition to the young school, it is very likely that Miss Ning Wu and the little girl named Zhaodi will spend the begging festival together.

In that case, why not be able to have fun with her friends while fulfilling her wish to be with Ning Gongzi?

"What should I write about?"

Ji Jin is most troubled by this question now.

Originally, the wish on the lantern was probably not written on colored paper, and since it flew into the sky, it was likely to be seen.

She'll have to think about it.

……

In the yard.

Shen Youchu looked at Ning Wuxian, who took the basket to the martial arts arena and began to split the bamboo strips with a knife, and his heart was itching.

According to the agreement, it should be Jin'er, who was the first to find the account books, and spent the begging festival with Ning Gongzi.

But she glanced at it again, Ning Zhifeng and Zhaodi, who were sitting around Ning Gongzi, felt that Jin'er should not have the opportunity to be alone with Ning Gongzi tonight.

"Ning Gongzi, can I make one too?"

Shen Youchu took out a piece of pink colored paper, closed one eye, and looked through the light of the marked hole.

The world seemed to turn pink in an instant.

It's really romantic to imagine that there are pink lanterns that carry her wishes and fly into the sky.

She pointed the colored paper at Ning Wuxian, who was chopping bamboo strips, and said in a pleading tone, "Will you take me to play together?" ”

"I didn't say I wouldn't take you."

Ning Wuxian finally concentrated on splitting a thick bamboo strip into more than a dozen thin and tough ridges that were less than three millimeters, so that he could be distracted from talking to Shen Youchu.

Turning his head and seeing Shen Youchu tilting his head and playing with colored paper, he smiled dumbly: "I heard that Miss Shen is good at painting." ”

"Yes, yes."

Shen Youchu immediately took away the colored paper and nodded in response.

In fact, she is not only good at it.

Among the Daxing painters, who are better than her skills and rich in inspiration, they can be counted on one hand.

"Then you can help Zhifeng and Zhaodi draw some of their favorite patterns, or teach them to draw some."

After Ning Wuxian finished speaking, he continued to chop the edges.

If nothing else.

After seeing the Kong Ming lantern, many people will come to him to make this kind of lantern that can go to the sky.

So he had to prepare the materials in advance, so as not to miss everyone's auspicious time when the time came, which would be a ruin.

If he has something, everyone will come to help him.

It is naturally incumbent upon him to maintain everyone's interest in having fun.

All for one, one for all.

"Ju Xiang, please go to the steward and ask him to find out if there is any more wire or copper wire than these."

After Ning Wuxian pulled Shen Youchu into the gang, the people who aroused her didn't have to be soft.

Kong Ming lanterns are very easy to make, you only need to build the outer frame with bamboo strips, and then tie the pieces of paper, string and burning alcohol with iron or copper wire.

The wire brought by Ning Zhifeng is too thick, although this can ensure that it will burn continuously when taking off, but the weight is too heavy to fly.

He pulled out a wire and gestured at the chrysanthemum that came up.

"It's about the same thickness as three of them."

Ju Xiang frowned.

So fine?

Can such a thin wire exist in an ordinary village?

Not to mention copper wire, which is difficult to find on the market except for the steelmaking of Yibuk-do.

"Young Master Ning, this may have to go to the city."

Ju Xiang glanced at the sun in the west, and couldn't help but worry about whether it would be too late.

At this time, Mei Xiang stepped forward.

"Miss, I'll go to the city to find iron and copper wires, and promise to come back before the sun sets, Ning Gongzi, is this okay?"

Ning Wuxian heard Mei Xiang speak after a long time.

Even Shen Youchu was stunned.

Hey?

Mei Xiang didn't speak, she forgot that the person around her who was best at running was actually Mei Xiang!

"Yes, Mei Xiang, what style of lantern do you like, Miss Ben will make it for you."

"Thank you, Miss, please write it for me, my wish is to increase the monthly silver this month."

Mei Xiang showed an expression of a wealth fan.

She ran out of perfume.

Want to buy another bottle of orchid-scented perfume.

I also want the old lady and sister in the house to taste the ice drink in the summer, but her money is really not enough to spend, woowoo......

Shen Youchu didn't expect that Mei Xiang would just ask for money as soon as she spoke.

still asked her for money in front of Ning Gongzi.

It seems as if she has mistreated Mei Xiang.

But in fact, the moon silver of Mei Xiang is ten taels higher than that of Ju Xiang.

Shen Youchu pointed to his face and showed a kind smile.

"Miss, I'm making lanterns for you to pray for, not for you to pray for the eight kings in the wishing pool, if you don't want to go, I'll ask Juxiang to go, remember, buy some good wire or copper wire back, Miss I'm not short of money."

Shen Youchu took out a silver ticket from the purse around his waist and stuffed it into Mei Xiang's hand.

"Go ahead, it should be enough to buy three hundred, Ning Gongzi?"

That's enough.

Ning Wuxian nodded, glanced at the denomination of the silver ticket, and silently put away the idea of subsidizing Mei Xiang's errand fees.

Miss Shen is really still the beautiful and kind-hearted Miss Shen.

"Don't ...... Miss, don't ask Juxiang to go, I'll go, I'll go. ”

Mei Xiang took the silver ticket and turned back three times, thinking that the young lady would be able to agree to her request.

But until she walked to the point where people couldn't see it, she didn't hear Miss Rising Yueyin's answer.

"I knew that I would have let Ju Xiang go."

She muttered, spread out her palms and glanced at the silver ticket, so excited that she jumped directly to the wall with a cloud ladder and looked towards the courtyard where the young lady was.

Miss!

You are my God!

"My young lady is better than the king in the wishing pool."

Mei Xiang carried a thousand taels of silver tickets, used her strength to eat, and ran faster than a horse.

……

Night falls.

The northern city, which has always been like a ghost town at night, is brightly lit today.

Even the streets outside the Third Watch Pavilion were full of people.

Zhou An heard the sound of girls laughing outside, covered his face, pushed open the window and looked out.

The girls in various clothes on the street, carrying a lantern in their hands, walked in groups in the direction of the riverbank.

"The begging festival in Jinling is as lively as that in the capital."

At this time in previous years, he would put lanterns with his sisters in the palace to make wishes.

Pray that God can let my father add to the dragon robe as soon as possible.

This year, I stayed alone in this three watch pavilions, without the company of a girl with flowers, and I could only be with a child full of, pee, and fart, which was really boring.

"If only the Third Watch Pavilion was built by the river, you can still see the lanterns all over the river."

Zhou An muttered, ready to close the window.
