Forsythia was sweating profusely as she hugged the treasures she had just bought. She passed through the waterside corridor, avoiding the broom in Mama Wang's hand and the water basin in Auntie Song's arms. Under the scolding of Mama Liu, she rushed into her young miss's courtyard. She pushed the door open and said with a face full of treasures, "Young Miss, Young Miss! I've bought back the materials you wanted! This is colored glaze, this is agate, this is silk ribbon … This is a new batch of colored paper that just arrived from the calligraphy and painting shop. The shop owner said that these are the best goods in the shop. Who knows how many noble ladies in the city are dying to get one, but I managed to snatch it. Hehehehe, Miss, aren't I awesome? "
Ning Shu's eyes lit up. She quickly took the box full of things, "Good, good. Our little Forsythia is the best. Quick, quick, bring it over. Tomorrow night is the Qiqiao Festival. If you don't hurry up, your young miss will lose face. "
Since she made up her mind to take Xiahou Qing to the Qiqiao Festival, Ning Shu didn't go out of the house. She practiced her handiwork hard in the house every day. Little Ji 'er, who was next to her, had his hands behind his back and a round little belly. He imitated his master's serious face and taught Ning Shu. He was very happy.
Children grew the fastest. In just half a year, Ji 'er's height had shot up again. Because of the recent changes, his chubby little face had lost a lot of weight and had not recovered yet. Only that pair of big round eyes were still clear and bright like amber. It was as if as long as he was here, this world would be pure and lovely.
When Ning Shu was looking at the materials, Ji 'er stood on his tiptoes and looked at the masterpiece that Ning Shu had just finished. He asked curiously, "Sister, what are you drawing?"
"It's a little rabbit. Can't you see?"
"But a little rabbit's ears are long."
"… My rabbit is special. When it was young, it was disobedient and sneaked out to play. It accidentally broke its ear."
"But a rabbit's mouth is small."
"… My rabbit is too greedy, so it ate a lot."
"But the rabbit's body is furry and its tail is round."
"… Well, it's actually a pig that looks like a rabbit."
Ji'er then pointed to the one next to them. "What's that over there? A pheasant? "
"… No, Peacock."
"But the peacock's tail is like a fan."
"… Mine just shed its fur recently, so its feathers aren't as plentiful."
"But peacocks have very long necks."
"… Mine is fatter, so its neck has shrunk into its flesh."
"But …"
Ning Shu hurriedly stopped and accepted her fate. "Alright, you're right. It's a pheasant."
Ning Ji looked sympathetically at his sister, who had dark circles under her eyes after staying up for several nights to make the lanterns. He then looked sympathetically at the broken lanterns on the ground. He sighed and silently felt that the person who was given the lanterns by his sister seemed to be a little pitiful.
What to do? He had no choice but to take action. For the sake of his sister's successful marriage, he had to work harder!
After a few months of unrest and panic, the capital regained its peace with the Emperor's awakening and the return of the officials. Even though many people had a vague premonition that an even bigger tide was accumulating power, people should enjoy life to the fullest. If there was wine today, there was wine today. No one could stop the revelry before the storm. Therefore, the next evening's Grand Assembly was unexpectedly more lively than previous years. The moon had not yet risen, but the Eastern and Western Markets were already crowded with people and carriages. Fireworks and silver flowers overflowed with color. It was so beautiful that it did not belong to the mortal world.
