Lu Chai couldn't bear it anymore: "You two are really enough!"
Don't think that since you are my master, I don't dare to hit you!
I'm telling you, I'll even beat myself if I get tough.
Xie Yixiao chuckled: "Lu Zhui, are you really not going to just give girls things?"
Lu Zhui: "..."
"Do you want to miss such a good opportunity? But if you really don't have this intention, we won't force it. As a person, it's better to be happy. You are not a woman, and your son and I are not
You don’t have to worry about being gossiped about, and you don’t have to worry about being lonely when you get old and don’t have filial children.”
Lu Zhui: "...?!"
I am a man in love, so even if I am lonely, it is nothing, right?
"Young lady is so cruel!"
He raised his head and took a breath of air, feeling that he was being treated differently.
Xie Yi smiled so hard that she leaned on Rong Ci. She didn't feel that she was cruel at all. She also felt that if she really had intentions, she should think about it carefully.
Lu Zhui is a few years older than Rong Ci. He is twenty-five this year, and Mingxin is also eighteen this year. Xie Yixiao is thinking that at most, he will have to wait until Mingxin is twenty before he prepares for her marriage. If
Lu Zhui wanted to do it early, but he didn't want her to see someone else.
She thought it was quite fun for the two of them to be together, but if they just regarded each other as brothers and sisters, she wouldn't be able to just bow her head and let the two of them be together.
There were lanterns lit all along the banks of Bibo Lake tonight, but it was night after all, so the carriage was not moving very fast, it was going slowly up against the direction of the water flow. On the way, it also passed by the gate of Qingfeng Tower and Fan Yue Tower on the river.
When they arrived at the lively square, they got off the carriage on the side of the road. Except for the two guards driving the carriage, everyone else walked into the lively crowd and found a stall selling painted lanterns.
"Old sir, draw us a bowl of glutinous rice balls." Xie Yixiao made his request.
"Tangyuan?" The old man who painted lanterns was also surprised. He has been making lanterns for more than 20 years. The flowers, birds, insects, fish, four seasons scenes, and ladies with hairpins are all lifelike. No matter what the guests want, he will
All can satisfy the other party.
But this is the first time someone wants to draw a bowl of glutinous rice balls.
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Today's Lantern Festival, of course, a bowl of hot glutinous rice balls is indispensable. Just draw a white porcelain bowl with ginger soup in it. Eight white rolling glutinous rice balls are floating in the soup. It is best to
Paint some heat rising."
"By the way, write the word Chang'an on the outside of the white porcelain bowl."
Chang'an, Chang'an, peace and security forever.
The old man who was painting the lantern hesitated a little, then thought for a moment and said, "Noble sir, I have never painted glutinous rice balls before, and I don't know how well I draw them. If I can't satisfy you..."
The Imperial City is a prosperous place that many people yearn for. Eighty percent of the nobles of the entire Dongming Dynasty live here. It can be said that any young man or girl you meet on the roadside may be the master of a certain mansion.
These common people have to be careful when they go out to make some money on weekdays, for fear of offending these noble people. If you really meet someone with a bad temper, it is a trivial matter that you cannot make money, and you are afraid that they will make you unable to survive in anger.
Go down.
"It doesn't matter, just draw with your heart. No matter how you draw, we won't embarrass you."
"That's it. Let's see what kind of lantern you want. I'll draw it for you."
There are many painted lanterns hanging on the stalls selling lanterns, and many of them just make lantern stands, and then draw the lanterns according to the customer's requirements and then paper them.
There were large round lanterns, oblate lanterns, long round lanterns, as well as some four-corner palace lanterns, six-corner palace lanterns, etc. hanging on the stall. Xie Yixiao chose a long round lantern.
"That's it, you draw in the middle. The white porcelain bowl can be placed on a wooden table, exposing some of the table, but not too much. You can add some branches or other foils on top, such as a few winter plums.
Several peach blossoms, several green bamboos, whichever one you think looks better and can be painted best, use which one."
"Okay."
The old man took the job and started to move. Rong Ci and Xie Yixiao stood beside the table and looked at the old man's painting. Mingxin took Xianye to look at the lanterns. Qingluo expressed that he was not interested in it.
.
The two girls stood under the lantern stand, looking at the lanterns, and discussing what they should buy.
"Which one do you like, Xiangye? By the way, I'll bring one for Black Tea when I go back. She should like it."
Xiangye was holding a lantern with a picture of fish playing with lotus flowers in his hand. He pressed his green-white fingers on the lantern, and the paper seemed to be dented.
She pressed the corners of her mouth and curled her lips: "Not strong."
She could prick it with one finger.
The boy who was waiting for the guests was not happy after hearing this: "Girl, our lanterns are not strong. We have been making lanterns since my grandfather. No one who has bought our lanterns can say bad things."
of."
Their lanterns are really good. The craft of making lanterns supports their family and is their livelihood. Therefore, whether it is making lantern stands or paper for lanterns, they use very good quality.
Although it may be a bit more expensive than other stalls, it is beautiful and sturdy!
Xiangye said, "Maybe my hand is too strong." After that, she hung up the lantern in her hand again, thinking that it was lucky that it was not punctured, otherwise she would have to lose money.
"Then girl, do you still want it? Our lantern is very good. Take it back and replace it with a candle and you can continue to use it for lighting."
Xiangye shook her head in refusal: "I don't want it." Forget it, she is still not suitable to play with lanterns, she should eat a bowl of glutinous rice balls.
"I want two." Mingxin planned to buy one for herself and one for black tea.
Lu Zhui listened to them for a while, and when he heard she said she wanted to buy it, he turned his eyes over, but he didn't seem to want to take action. Seeing that Ming Xin had already chosen a lantern and was about to pay for it, he still stayed there.
.
Xie Yixiao glanced at it and said nothing.
Rong Ci watched the gentleman who made the lantern draw. The gentleman drew very quickly, and the colors he used were very festive and distinct. After a while, he drew a bowl, sketched a few glutinous rice balls, and painted them on
A layer of color like a white candle.
Not long after, a bowl of hot glutinous rice balls came out of the pot.
"Would you like green onions?" the gentleman who drew the lantern asked subconsciously.
Xie Yixiao: "...No." It's not like eating dumplings and wontons, but some chopped green onion.
The gentleman then remembered that he was a lantern painter, not a glutinous rice dumpling seller. He suddenly looked a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry for being rude. Don't blame me, noble man."
"It doesn't matter." She didn't care about this.
Rong Ci suddenly laughed when he heard this.
Xie Yixiao glanced over and threatened: "If you laugh again, I'll let you eat glutinous rice balls with chopped green onions. I'll watch you eat them!"
