Chapter 618 Crane

The Lantern Festival is approaching, and Qin Hanzhen has been busy making new lanterns recently.

She has seen a lot of lanterns and lantern styles now. Zhao Mo also found a very good bamboo craftsman to raise. With his help, as long as the lantern style she can think of, in reality,

He can basically do whatever he can. When he encounters particularly troublesome ideas, he can solve them in a day and a half by fiddling with them. Therefore, Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo made dozens of beautiful lamps this year.

It was a fresh lamp. I showed it to my grandfather Qin Bai and my grandmother Niu Shi, and they both praised it.

This year's Lantern Festival, Qinzhuang will hold a small-scale lantern festival as usual, just for the entertainment of the villagers. However, this is an annual event, and many tribesmen think that the lantern festival in the village is too small and not lively enough.

Those who go to Jinling City to catch the lantern festival will also go to other villages and towns. In all the villages and towns in the ten miles and miles away, any densely populated village or town will not hold a lantern festival. Some places will specially invite opera troupes to sing for three days and three nights.

The night drama. Nearby villagers either walked or rowed boats to listen. There were also smart vendors who took the opportunity to row small sampans and shuttled back and forth on the water selling snacks and various gadgets. The scene was very lively.

Since the twelfth lunar month, Qin Hanzhen has gone to see such excitement several times with her family or elders in the clan. Although the stage in the township may not be as gorgeous as the one in Qinzhuang, it is also interesting. Last year, she and her grandfather

, Zhao Mo worried about the prince's safety together. Although the New Year was a lively one, she actually did not settle down to have fun. This year was different. She didn't need to worry about anything, but she could have fun for a few days as she pleased.

Now her grandparents are with her, her cousin Wu Shaoying goes to Qinzhuang to accompany her teacher during the New Year, her cousin and good friend Zhao Mo keeps her company every day, and her little cousin Qian Geer is also with her. In addition to thinking about her father who is far away in Guangzhou

Qin Ping, I would like to express my condolences to my mother Guan Rongniang who was just buried in the ancestral grave of the Qin family. Qin Han really feels that this year is the happiest year she has ever lived.

After spring, the canal thawed, and Qin Bai planned to return to the capital. The wedding date of his second uncle Qin An has been set, but it will not be in May as originally planned, but in June. This is according to Qin An's letter

As mentioned in, the date of his training in the Datong Army has been revised. Although Datong has become hot in June, Qin Bai and Niu may feel uncomfortable on the road, but their son is serving in the army and cannot be absent.

There is nothing we can do about the training camp at the health center.

However, having an extra month is also a good thing for Qin Bai and Niu. They don't have to rush on their way back to Beijing. Qin Bai once promised Niu that when they return to Beijing along the canal,

He wanted to visit all the places he had never visited when he went south. Now that he has plenty of time, he can fulfill his promise.

However, when she thought about returning to the capital soon, Qin Hanzhen felt depressed. She had stayed in Jiangnan for more than a year and felt that her life here was much freer than in the capital. She was in Qinzhuang

, she only needs to bring a maid with her, and she can walk around the village at will, without any taboos. She can go into the city to go to the house in Confucius Temple, or go to the house in Huaiqing Bridge to see Zhao Mo. Occasionally she will follow the elders.

It is not difficult for the commander to visit the Si Yamen and the back Yamen when Huang Jincheng lives. In fact, as long as she is accompanied by the elders of the clan, she can also take a boat to the nearby village with her brothers and sisters.

She went to see social operas in villages and towns. Both Qin Bai and Wu Shaoying took her out without bringing many followers. They went directly to the city or a teahouse in the town to drink tea, listen to books, and live a leisurely life.

In contrast, she basically couldn't leave the gate of the Marquis Mansion in the capital. Taking a walk in the garden was just for fun and relaxation. Although she was going to move after returning to Beijing, it was just from a big house.

Just go to another big house. Maybe in her own house, she doesn't have to be as tied up as she was in Chengenhou's mansion, but it is absolutely impossible to move as freely as she did in Jiangnan. And after moving

, she thought that meeting her cousins ​​was not as convenient as before, and there was a lot less fun, and she felt a little depressed just thinking about it.

Originally she was accompanied by Zhao Mo, but her cousin Wu Shaoying repeatedly told her that now that she has grown up and is no longer a little girl, she should be careful to stay away from young people with a foreign surname and not let others gossip... Sigh...

, without the company of this little friend who made her very satisfied, Qin Hanzhen could imagine how dull and boring her future life would be.

Therefore, while she is still in Jiangnan and is not trapped in a house and cannot go out, she should cherish the time she spends playing with her friends!

Qin Hanzhen happily went to talk to Zhao Mo, carrying a crane lantern he had just finished.

When she arrived at Zhao Mo's yard, she called out as soon as she entered: "Cousin Zhao, come and see. The idea of ​​the crane lantern I told you before, now Uncle Yu has made it!" She stepped forward excitedly.

When he went to the door, he happened to see Zhao Mo quickly put away a letter and put it in a small drawer beside the desk, as if it was very confidential. Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but blinked.

Zhao Mo didn't seem to notice, he stood up with a smile and walked over: "Really? Can you really do what your cousin said? Those wings and crane legs can move?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled and said: "It's really done! If you don't believe me, cousin, see for yourself!" She showed him the characteristics of the crane lantern.

Zhao Mo stared at the lamp and took a closer look. He found that the lamp was tied into the shape of a crane.

The two wings would slowly wave up and down when Qin Hanzhen was walking around with the lantern, and the two thin legs would slowly be retracted. Looking from a little distance, it seemed as if there was really a crane flying over Qin Hanzhen.

It's like a real hand flying, which is amazing.

Zhao Mo quickly got closer to the lantern and looked more carefully. Only then did he realize that the crane's two wings and the bamboo strips frame inside were all movable, and the mechanism was connected to the thin pole of the lantern. Qin Hanzhen only needed to carry it.

When turning on the lamp, gently stir the knot on the thin pole, and the crane lantern will swing its wings and retract its thin legs, and it will really "fly".

Zhao Mo couldn't help but praise: "My cousin is so ingenious, and Uncle Yu is so craftsmanship! I never knew that the crane lantern could actually fly. I have never seen anyone else make such a lantern before."

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "I just mentioned it casually. I originally wanted to make a rabbit lantern with wagging ears. It would be appropriate to carry it on the street during the full moon. But Uncle Yu said that rabbits are too common, and birds

It would be fresher, so I thought I might as well make a pair of 'flying' crane lanterns. In fact, it was just a random thought, but it may not be possible, but I didn't expect Uncle Yu to make them all!"

Zhao Mo smiled and said: "Uncle Yu's craftsmanship is indeed good, but he has never had my cousin's whimsical ideas. No matter how good his craftsmanship is, he can't come up with new tricks. Cousin, there is no need to be too modest."

Qin Hanzhen smiled and gave Zhao Mo the lamp to put on the Duobaoge: "My cousin likes this lamp so much, so I will give it to you. Tomorrow during the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, my cousin will mention

Let’s look at the lights with it and see if it can compare with other people’s lights.”

Zhao Mo asked her: "What about my cousin? Time is so tight, can Uncle Yu make another pair of crane lanterns before tomorrow night?"

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. This lamp is just a little troublesome in the early design. As long as you know how to do it, Uncle Yu can complete it in half a day. I told him before I came over and let him do it."

The second lamp. It may be difficult to make two lamps in one day, but don’t you have another lamp here? As long as I make another lamp, it will be a pair with your lamp. Tomorrow I will carry one with you.

It must be very interesting to go to the lantern festival with just a crane."

Zhao Mo's ears turned slightly red, and he said with a smile: "Okay, I also think this is quite interesting, so it's settled!"

Qin Hanzhen smiled and nodded vigorously. After delivering the lamp, she had nothing to do, so she took Zhao Mo to sit down and chat again.

In front of Zhao Mo, she became more and more accustomed to saying what she had to say without having to hide anything, so when she saw Zhao Mo reading the letter, she spoke frankly: "Cousin was reading the letter just now, right? Who wrote it to you?

He's here? It's hard for him to find someone to send you a message this year."

Zhao Mo paused and smiled: "It's a letter from the capital."

Qin Hanzhen raised his eyebrows: "It's from Cousin Zhao's father? What did he say? And he asked you to send him the money you earned in Jiangnan?"

Zhao Mo suddenly let out a sigh, then he held back and said, "No, it was sent here by the people from my small village. They were riding fast horses all the way, and two of them even died from exhaustion."

Eh? Why is this? The New Year is almost over, so you can’t be in a hurry to give New Year gifts, right? If there is something really important, it shouldn’t be someone from Zhao Mo’s private property.

Qin Hanzhen asked hurriedly: "But what happened to your family? Is anyone sick?" Considering that the Wang family colluded with the military attache and went under the banner of Zhao Shuo, it would be bad if Zhao Shuo was implicated.

Is it possible that Zhao Shuo fell ill because of this incident?

Zhao Mo said calmly: "There is nothing special at home. Madam is pregnant. The child Lan Xue gave birth to was ill and is now fine. I heard that the cause of the disease is unclear and may have something to do with Madam. The eldest son of the Wang family

I came to talk to my father and the matter will be settled."

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but "tsk": "It seems quite miserable to be a son to a father like you. He made you unable to return home and had to stay away from Jiangnan; but he also didn't see his beloved bastard.

You have to take it seriously, otherwise the child is ill for no apparent reason. How could he not want to get to the bottom of it? He has a big heart. For such a young child, even if he stays in the back house all day, he will be plotted by someone. Your father

Aren’t you afraid that you will end up with the same fate one day?”

Zhao Mo twitched his lips: "Of course it's because the Wang family will bring him greater benefits. He has always been a person who can't bear to do anything early. No matter how much he loves his children, they can't block his path to success."

Qin Hanzhen curled his lips and asked: "Has nothing happened to the Wang family yet? How is Master Wang's illness? How long can he last? If he dies, will he plead for the Wang family before he dies?"

Zhao Mo said: "The letter didn't mention this. Maybe in a few days, there will be a letter to explain."

Qin Han was really surprised: "How come the Wang family was not mentioned in this letter? Then why do you look so ugly? Did something else happen?"

Zhao Mo shook his head, with a very complicated mood: "The letter didn't mention anything else about the Wang family. It only said that Mr. Wang and his father secretly discussed it for half a day, and then they came up with the articles of association. It seems that my father... no longer expects to become the emperor's heir, but he

I plan to choose a son and prepare to adopt him to Dong Palace."

However, Zhao Mo was excluded from the selection of this son from the beginning. However, Zhao Shuo seemed to have agreed to Mr. Wang to make the son of the younger Wang family his heir to the title. Zhao Shuo wanted to make him his successor.

Where is this eldest son placed?
