Chapter 205: Making Lanterns

"It is a common custom here that everyone must dress up beautifully, and it has nothing to do with whether I want you to marry or not. Qin Yifan said, "And you are dressed up beautifully, dressed brightly, and my face is also bright, and our family also has face." ”

"I'm ugly, and it's useless to dress up. An Lingxi said. There is a bit of negativity in his tone, and he obviously doesn't look like this.

After speaking, he walked out of the door and went to the market to buy materials.

After Qin Yifan fed the pigs, monkeys, birds, fish and dog food, he also walked out of Yifan Jingzhai and went to the Huang family wine shop.

Seeing that the Huang family has already started to make lanterns, the school is going to have a holiday these days, of course, it is up to Qin Yifan to decide whether to have a holiday or not. There is no need to cook for the children, the business of the wine store is deserted, and the eldest lady and Huang Yirong have free time.

Together, the two of them made lanterns. The table is already full of various materials for making lanterns, including slices and knives, paste, brushes, paints, and lotus leaves.

A total of two lanterns should be made, and one person should make one. One is to fly in the sky, and the other is to float on the water. The function is different, the material and the method of making it are also different. Uncle Huang smoked a dry tobacco pouch and sat bored watching them do it.

"Mr. Qin is here, please take a seat, please take a seat. Uncle Huang hurriedly stood up and brought him a stool. "It's all old neighbors, what's polite. Qin Yifan said.

"Brother Qin, what kind of lantern do you make?" Huang Yirong asked while raising her head while skillfully cutting the slices with a knife to be thin and soft, and then gluing them to the colored paper with paste. Huang Yirong made carp lanterns, which means that there is more than every year.

The eldest lady makes cabbage lanterns, and the meaning of cabbage lanterns is more exquisite. One implication is to make a fortune in the coming year, and the other implication is that the girl of this family is as innocent as jade. Generally, if you see which house puts cabbage, lotus, and wishful lanterns, it proves that there are unmarried girls in this family.

The lanterns of each house have their names written on them, if the lanterns fall somewhere. When the matchmaker sees it, she will know this information, and then the chances of facilitating marriage will increase. Therefore, some matchmakers will also pick up lanterns and collect information after the Lantern Festival.

Some girls will also write poems directly on the lanterns, showing their talents, and if they are favored by a single man, they will come directly to the door, and they will promote a beautiful relationship.

"It's not done yet. Qin Yifan said.

"Is Xiaomei doing it at home?" asked Huang Yirong.

"She went out to buy materials and waited for me to do it myself, Xiaomei, she didn't know at all. Qin Yifan said.

"Do you still need Mr. Qin to do it yourself?" Uncle Huang said in surprise, "Isn't it something a woman should do to tie a lantern?"

"No way, who told her she wouldn't. Qin Yifan said.

"Mr. Qin, you maid, can't you tie a lantern? You find such a maid and pay back two taels of silver every month, which is a bit of a loss. Uncle Huang said. He is a simple township man, and his thinking is relatively simple and conservative.

"She is a foreigner, and there is no custom of making lanterns in her hometown. Qin Yifan said.

"Even if you don't have the custom of making lanterns, you should be ingenious. Uncle Huang said.

"She used to be the daughter of a big family, and she didn't do rough work. Qin Yifan said.

"I don't think of the daughter of a big family. The uncle said, "I heard that the young ladies of the big families are all like fairies, and she looks more ordinary. ”

The daughters of the big families in this world are indeed very good-looking, because the family has money, buy them the lowest level of the immortal sect, the lowest level of the pill, and refine the discarded pill. And those elixirs generally contain aura and have the effect of skin care.

"Mr. Qin, it's not the eldest lady who orchestrates other people's girls behind her back. The eldest lady said, "She is indeed not as good as my Rong'er." Look at my Rong'er, how beautiful she looks, and she is empathetic and ingenious...... Tying lanterns is a first-class hand. ”

"In the past, there was no woman in your house, and it was nothing to make your own lanterns, but now you have to do it yourself, and you will be laughed at by the neighbors when you say it. Uncle said.

Since Huang Yirong was able to cultivate immortals, her appearance has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes, and she is almost comparable to the fairies of the Immortal Cultivation Sect. And the big place is very big, in the eyes of rural people, it is good to give birth and raise, it is simply one in a million.

Originally, according to Huang Yirong's current conditions, there was no need to hang herself on Qin Yifan's tree. The couple also persuaded her privately to let her find another suitable one, but Huang Yirong just didn't agree and had to rely on him.

There was no way, the Huang couple had to rely on her temperament. At the same time, I also feel that Qin Yifan is indeed the best choice, and compared with him, the man from ten miles and eight towns does have a feeling that he is too far behind. Those ordinary men are indeed not worthy of Huang Yirong.

For the sake of her and Qin Yifan's affairs, it was simply heartbreaking.

Later, I heard that Qin Yifan and the maid Xiaomei were playing together at home, and I felt that the relationship between the two of them might be a little unusual, and Xiaomei was suspected of being Huang Yirong's rival. Although maids can only be concubines, no one can say for sure what happens between men and women.

So, he told Qin Yifan his opinion of the maid Xiaomei, saying that she was not good-looking, and she was not good at being a female worker, and she was a little disliked as a maid.

Just now, the eldest lady almost didn't say directly, you will definitely be very happy if you marry Rong'er.

And why can't Qin Yifan hear it?

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Huang Yirong said dissatisfiedly.

"Alright, alright, don't talk about you. The eldest mother complained, "You dead girl, when will you be able to let your father and mother save some snacks?"

"I will do my own thing, I don't need you to worry about it. Huang Yirong said.

"Mr. Qin, on the day of the Lantern Festival, will you wait on the way to the City God Temple?" asked the eldest lady.

"No, absolutely not!" Qin Yifan hurriedly said.

"Brother Qin, my lantern is ready. Huang Yirong stood up, carried the lantern, and showed it to Qin Yifan.

"It's so beautiful. Qin Yifan said, "I didn't expect you to not only be able to pick up a sledgehammer and do these manual work, but also be so exquisite." ”

"Why don't you mention a poem to me?" Huang Yirong said.

"If I write you a poem on it, it is estimated that after three days, the person who goes to your house to propose marriage will step through the threshold of your house. Qin Yifan said with a smile. I feel that getting along with Huang Yirong is very easy, much easier than getting along with two parents.

"Is it, such an exaggeration?" said Huang Yirong with a smile.

"Why don't we try it?" Qin Yifan said, "Forget it, forget it, or don't." Don't really have people looking for you at that time. ”
