Chapter 399: This Lantern Skin Is so Smooth! (Case)

After a pause, the girl suddenly gritted her teeth, handed over her kitten lantern, and said timidly: "Sir, can I use my lantern to exchange it with you?"

Rong Su: "..."

Carrying this gourd lantern is already ugly enough, but also carrying a cat one...

Rong Su had no expression on his face and gave the gourd lantern to the girl: "I'll give them all to you." He didn't want any of them.

The girl shyly took it, but still handed him her kitten lantern in a polite manner.

Rongsu refused.

The little girl just looked at Rong Su, and finally, the big girl also looked at Rong Su.

Perhaps thinking that the young master was angry, the big girl's eyes turned red and she said anxiously: "Sir, my sister didn't do it on purpose. She is still young. Please don't blame her..."

Rong Su: "..."

In the end, Rong Su had no choice but to take the kitten lantern. Suddenly, Prince Rong Qi, who had always been serious and stern, like the flower of the high mountains, looked even more funny.

Rong Su's face turned dark.

Especially when looking at the slightly curved corners of Rong Leng and Liu Wei's eyes, I felt that these two people clearly did it on purpose and wanted to watch his jokes.

Rong Su was unhappy, his face turned serious, and he looked even more indifferent.

The older girl dragged the younger one away quickly, not forgetting to scold her younger sister: "Why are you so reckless? What if you offend that young man?"

Although they did not know the identity of this young master, since they recognized Mr. Liu and Mr. Rong as their masters, the friends of the two masters were naturally noble people.

They are all servants. If they can offend a noble person, wouldn't that mean they are seeking death?

The little girl felt aggrieved, picked up the gourd lantern, and rubbed a red mark on the lantern skin with her fingers.

The older girl looked over and was stunned for a moment when she saw the mark. She suddenly fell silent and asked the younger girl: "Is this why you are doing it?"

The girl said nothing, but her eyes were red.

The older girl couldn't scold the younger one any more, so she just grabbed the younger one's hand and promised, "Don't be afraid, my sister is here."

The little girl looked at her sister and nodded hesitantly.

Xiao Li listened in confusion, but Xiao Li saw that the girl was unhappy, so he handed the flower to the girl and said softly: "This flower is very beautiful, please wear it."

The girl stared at the flower and secretly glanced at the young master for a while, then stretched out her rough little hand, took it, and whispered: "Thank you, young master."

Xiao Li sent flowers, but when he saw that the girl didn't smile, he felt a little at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Xiao Li returned to her mother and grabbed the corner of her clothes, looking confused.

Liu Wei patted her son's head, squatted down, and asked the girl patiently: "What's so special about this lantern?"

The little girl shrank shyly behind her sister and remained silent.

The eldest girl quickly said: "Young Master, please forgive me, but the little girl... misses my eldest sister."

"Um?"

The eldest girl took the lantern, pointed to the red mark on it, and said: "This mark looks like a red butterfly. Our eldest sister also has one on her back. It's from a birthmark. We haven't seen eldest sister for a long time, the little girl thought. I’m the eldest sister, so when I just saw this, I... couldn’t help but want it, and please don’t blame her..."

The little girl said, looking very frightened, and almost knelt down in front of Liu Wei after she finished speaking.

Liu Wei held Da Niu back, looked at the red mark on the gourd lantern, and touched it with her hand.

Liu Wei just touched it accidentally, but he felt that the lantern skin was so smooth!

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, then touched the rabbit lantern skin in his hand and found that the leather was rough and felt rough.

If you look closely at the two lanterns, the brightness is actually different.

Cowhide lanterns are famous for being bright from the inside. They can only illuminate the inside but not the outside.

But cowhide is not flammable, so using cowhide as a lantern is the safest way.

Therefore, later on, people who made lanterns ground the cowhide to make thin-skin lanterns, which could provide light and enhance safety.

Thin-skin lanterns are the lanterns sold in most shops nowadays, but no matter how thin or delicate the lanterns are, they are not as thin and delicate as this gourd lantern.

Liu Wei raised her eyebrows, and something flashed through her mind. Just when she was about to look again, she heard a shout from the distance: "The auspicious time has come. Folks who put out boat lanterns, open the lake -"

Liu Wei raised his head reflexively and saw many people crowded around him, running towards the source of the sound.

Liu Wei quickly grabbed the three children and stood aside.

Rong Leng and Rong Su also took two steps back!

I saw that in the square, there were not too many people before, suddenly swarmed over and hurried forward.

As he walked, he kept mumbling: "The lake is open, the lake is open, I must be the first to put out the boat lanterns this time."

"With so many people, I don't want to be the first. As long as I can be in the top ten, it will be great. As long as I am in the top ten, the Water God Bodhisattva will definitely fulfill my wish."

Men and women were talking and laughing.

The locals who were standing aside like Liu Wei and the others saw that they were confused, so they kindly explained: "Are you guys from other places? No wonder you don't know. We in Guyong Mansion have a lantern festival every few months. , and the gadgets at the Lantern Festival are secondary. The biggest fun is the boat lantern tour and the final Daqing dance troupe. I don’t know when it was passed down. It is said that at every Lantern Festival, the first ten boats are released. Lanterns, men and women who pray to the Water God Bodhisattva will be favored by the Water God Bodhisattva and grant one of their wishes. So this is not. As soon as you shout to open the lake, everyone rushes over. You people with children should be careful. People It’s too much, just don’t hurt the child for a while.”

Liu Wei thanked the kind person and asked, "What is the boat lantern tour?"

"Just go to the marriage tree next to Xiaoguang Lake, get red flower paper, write your wishes on the paper, then fold it into a boat shape, light a lantern on it, and put it in the lake. As long as the boat comes from the lake From this end to the other end, as long as the wick inside does not go out and the boat does not capsize, the wishes written on the first ten paper boats that reach the other side of the lake will come true. I heard that it works quite well."

After the man finished speaking, he laughed himself, obviously he just regarded this as a funny thing.

After hearing this, Liu Wei's eyes lit up: "It's like putting on a lotus lantern?"

The man didn't understand: "What lotus lantern?"

Liu Wei shook her head, turned to Rong Leng and said, "Shall we go and take a look too?"

Rong Leng looked at her rarely excited little face with a soft expression: "Do you have a wish that has not yet been fulfilled?"

Liu Wei pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.

Rong Leng stretched out his hand, straightened the messy hair on her temples, and said, "Whatever wish you have, just say it and I will make it come true for you."

Liu Wei laughed and pushed him.

Rong Leng took advantage of the situation and held her hand.

The kind man next to him saw the two men holding hands, and his eyes widened suddenly!

Rong Su's face darkened as he watched, and he coughed heavily!

Rong Leng and Liu Wei glanced at Rong Su at the same time, and Liu Wei said, "Seventh Young Master is not feeling well. Why don't you go back and rest yourself? It's cold and windy outside, so don't miss it."

Rong Su looked at Liu Wei with a sullen face, and the words "shameless" were almost written on his face!
