Chapter 34 Making Lanterns and Waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival

"What kind of flesh is this, sweet and sour, even more delicious than the candied fruit my mother makes. As he spoke, he stood up, reached out and took a handful of purple-red flesh preserves from the white jade plate, looked at the empty plate, and plucked it with his hand, so that it was another plate of fruit flesh preserves, but it was a little shallower.

Of course, everyone's attention will not be on this plate of candied fruit, but Yun Yifeng's natural feeding action just now is like eating candied fruit for the first time, which is too intimate, you must know that they have only met for the first time.

"Ahem, ahem, this is Manyue plum candied fruit from Heluo. Yun Yifeng also felt that his behavior seemed to be a little inappropriate, and said embarrassedly: "In a hurry, it is abrupt, I hope that Miss Ruochu will not be surprised." ”

It seemed that he understood what he meant for a long time, and when he heard the words Heluo, he remembered the group of girls who had been teased in the archway before, and he couldn't help but laugh a little embarrassedly, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." I don't know if it's because of the lie I told before, or because Yun Yifeng fed her candied fruit.

Seeing that Yebai's face on the side was not very good-looking, he hurriedly picked up a piece of Manyue plum candied fruit from his hand and put it in Yebai's mouth, looking at him with expectant eyes, "It's really delicious, isn't it?"

Yebai has always disliked eating these sweet and sour things, but because it was fed by his own hands, he nodded without thinking about it, and looked like he was enjoying it.

"Sister Ruochu, are you feeling better?" Yun Manqing saw that her face was a little tired, and continued to ask her, "Didn't you rest last night?"

"It's much better, well, it's a little sleepy. "It's like thinking about last night, and I'm a little embarrassed.

"What, aren't you used to living?" Yun Manqing was always worried that he didn't entertain them well.

"No, no, probably sleeping too much lately. "I just found a reason casually, I can't tell her that because I sent her back to the room last night, I thought something would happen, but nothing happened, so I couldn't sleep.

"County Lord, now that Qiqi has woken up, we have decided to go back tomorrow. Seeing that Yun Manqing asked about Wan Ruochu's physical condition, Yebai told her about the decision he had made in the house just now.

Everyone showed a surprised expression, are they going back tomorrow, why don't they know?

"Ah, you're leaving so soon?" Yun Manqing couldn't be happy when she heard the news, and her face was grim.

Yun Yifeng also couldn't see his sister's disappointed expression, and also helped persuade: "Why don't you stay for a few more days, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon." ”

"Okay, Sister Ruochu, you can accompany me to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival and then go back, there will be a banquet on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we can also go to the southern capital again, you must know that the streets are lively that day, there are a lot of delicious and fun." Yun Manqing shook her arm and said coquettishly. You must know that she finally made a group of friends with them, and after two days of getting along, they were about to separate, and her mood was not beautiful when she thought about it.

It was like taking a first look at Yebai, and she was asking for his opinion with her eyes, knowing that she also wanted to see how these mortals spent the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Okay, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you have to go back with me to heal. Yebai looked at her longing little eyes, and couldn't bear to refuse her request.

Only then did everyone understand that he was in a hurry to take her to heal her injuries.

"Wow, that's great!"

Yun Manqing happily stepped forward and took Wan Ruochu's hand, wanting to turn in circles, but was stopped by Yebai, "Her body is just right, be careful." ”

"Oh yes, you have to be careful, I'm just so happy. Yun Manqing explained excitedly.

"It's okay, my body isn't that fragile yet. "It seems that the first time I patted Yebai's hand and signaled that it didn't matter, the so-called concern was chaotic, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. Looking at his eyes, which were still a little worried, it was as if he had taken two steps back and turned around, indicating that she was really fine. Yebai thought about it, after all, she was a cultivator, although her spiritual power was somewhat damaged, but she was not so weak that she couldn't resist the pull of a mortal, so she went.

It's just that she turned so inadvertently, her slender figure, dancing dress, and eyes as bright as starlight were deeply engraved in everyone's hearts and lingered.

"Tell me how you all spend the Mid-Autumn Festival here!" seemed to take Yun Manqing's hand with great interest and sat down on the side. Obviously, Yinzhu on the side also had a deep interest in this topic, and sat on the edge of Wanruchu, looking at Yun Manqing with a smile, and even several other men from the Heavenly Court were silently listening to their conversation.

Yun Manqing is also a person who is willing to share, so he talked about these interesting festivals in the mortal world with relish, from the firecrackers of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the New Year's Eve of the Chinese New Year's Eve, to the lantern riddles of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month; from the dragon boat race of the Dragon Boat Festival, making zongzi, the Queqiao temple fair of Qixi Festival, to the fragrance of golden cinnamon, raising a glass to invite the bright moon, and the Mid-Autumn Festival of wine and singing, all of them are told one by one.

"Wow, you guys have so much fun here. When she finished talking about this, even the silver beads on the side couldn't help but let out a sound of envy, not to mention the fun-loving Ruochu.

"Don't you have these fun things in your hometown, but these festivals?" Yun Yifeng asked suspiciously, looking at Yinzhu and Wan Ruochu's extremely envious expression.

"We're in a poor country, far away from the mountains, and we're sparsely populated, so very few people get together to celebrate these festivals. In order to divert the topic, she remembered what Yun Manqing said just now about making lanterns, so she proposed to everyone that it would be better for everyone to make some lanterns by themselves, and hang them in the yard on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Her proposal was agreed to by everyone present.

"But it will take a lot of effort for the lord of the city to write down how to make this lantern, and then he will have to prepare the materials for making it. Since she made the proposal, these preparations still have to be done.

"Absolutely. Yun Yifeng instructed Yun Fei to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and then suggested: "Why don't you just come to the game, a group of two, freely combine, and finish the lanterns before the Mid-Autumn Festival." The main comparison is the pattern on the lantern, the shape, and the poem inscribed, of course, you can also play freely, you can make a more novel and creative lantern, you can bring forth the new. ”

Yebai, Ziyan and Katafeng looked at each other and said in unison, "Of course there is no problem." ”

You must know that they have seen these lanterns from afar when they came to the mortal world before, so they are not unfamiliar with it, but they don't know how to make them.

As for the matching of personnel, it is still up to discussion, whether it is a combination according to distant relatives, or according to men and women?

However, this problem did not bother them for too long, because considering that it is better for men to operate the bamboo chips, they finally chose the purpose of matching men and women and not getting tired of work.

However, what is more embarrassing is that there are only three women present, and there are six men plus Yun Fei and Yun Yi. Yebai must be in a group with Wan Ruochu, Yinzhu found Yun Yi, who had decocted medicine with her, Ziyan chose Yun Fei, who had been chatting with Tingfeng Inn for a while, when Yun Yifeng ironcladly thought that he and his sister were in a group, Yun Manqing actually refused, he wanted to be in a group with Pian Feng. He, who is an elder brother, couldn't help but smile bitterly, sure enough, it was a woman who didn't stay. He counted the few people present, and it turned out to be a singular number, so he recommended himself to be judged.

So when Yun Yi laid the paper and polished the ink, his lord of a city became a little expert in copying, writing the method of making lanterns for everyone.

The black handwriting is like a cloud of water, the pen is like a cloud of smoke, the gesture is strong and free, and the half-page Xuan paper outlines the production method clearly. In fact, the method of making lanterns is not difficult, it is roughly divided into three steps, cutting bamboo bones, fixing the shape, and drawing Mengxuan paper. But it is still a little difficult to make it beautiful and generous, novel and amazing. If you're not careful, you'll be similar, and then drowned in a multitude of similar lanterns.

Yun Yifeng, as the leader of this activity, arranged for the boys to do the physical work of chopping bamboo and cutting bamboo, and on the other hand, arranged for the women's army led by Yun Manqing to do some meticulous work of boiling paste and cutting paper.

In fact, Yun Yifeng can completely leave these things to the palace people to do, but since it is a competition, it is better to do it yourself, and looking at the appearance of everyone, they are also full of energy and passion for doing such things. You must know that in the past, the lanterns in the city lord's mansion were made by the palace people and hung everywhere in the mansion. Now these things are done by the city lord with a group of fairy-like characters, which is also very novel.

I don't know which of the lanterns they made is higher or lower compared to the masters of the City Lord's Mansion who have decades of craftsmanship.

So, for the next day or two, everyone went about their work in their own rooms, mysteriously and mysteriously. Of course, occasionally during the meal, there must be people who ask each other about the "enemy situation", such as how you are doing, what kind of pattern you are going to draw, and what is the poem you inscribed, but often you can't find any news about the other party, and they are all tight-lipped. At this time, there is no master secret guard, son's servant, and young lady's maid, they have the same identity, and they are rivals over there. If you want to play a game, you can't take it seriously!

"Ziyan, what pattern are you going to draw?"

"You'll know then. Ziyan sold Guan Zi and refused to say.

"Katafeng, is your shape round or square?" asked Yebai with a smile as he sharpened the bamboo slices.

"Childe, the secret of heaven must not be revealed. Katafeng seriously rejected his son.

"Yun Yi, have you thought of the verses you asked?" Yun Manqing smiled slightly, wanting to explore Yun Yi's words.

"County Lord, the mystery will always be revealed. Yun Yi pretended to be mysterious and said.

Just as everyone was in full swing of preparations, the Mid-Autumn Festival finally came.
