Chapter 209: Making Lanterns as Gifts
Chapter 209 Making lanterns as gifts
Xiao Rui returned to the county government office out of breath. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Xiao Jingze's cold voice.
"Afterimage, go down and receive your punishment."
As soon as he heard this, he knew that Xiao Jingze was extremely unhappy.
He didn't even go in. He stood at the door and coughed lightly.
"Don't say that I, the emperor's uncle, won't help you. Just now, Xiao Jinxiu asked me to bring you a message.
When I invite you to celebrate the Qiqiao Festival, I should thank you for your help during this time."
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt the county government's warmth warming up.
Xiao Jingze raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Rui, his long eyelashes covering the emotions in his eyes.
"eventful."
Xiao Rui snorted coldly, turned around and left.
"Okay, I'm the one who's busy.
Don't blame me for not reminding you. After all, I changed my crow skin.
What girl doesn't like handsome men who look good in clothes?"
Xiao Jingze didn't say anything else, and slowly rubbed the jade ring on his finger.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
————————
The Qiao Qiao Festival is approaching, and Decheng is more lively than usual.
Ruyi Restaurant and Yueji Restaurant are full of guests and friends every day, and they are so busy that they never touch the floor.
Even though she was so busy, Su Jinxiu didn't forget to prepare for the Qiqiao Festival.
Since I agreed to take Xiao Jingze out for a walk, I naturally had to show some sincerity.
But just taking people out for a walk doesn't seem sincere enough.
You have to give me something.
After a long day's work, go back to the backyard.
I caught a glimpse of Li Qiang making a lantern, and the thin bamboo strips seemed to be alive in his hands.
After a few back and forth, the prototype was formed and then papered on it.
A clever rabbit lantern appears in front of you.
Su Jinxiu's eyes lit up and she quickly stepped forward.
"Qiangzi, you made this lantern really well."
Li Qiang touched his head in embarrassment and continued to make the lantern with his head down.
"It's for Xiaoxiao and the kids. Does the shopkeeper want it?"
Shall I make one for you too? What kind of one do you want?"
Su Jinxiu thought for a moment and stepped forward.
"I want a tiger lantern, please teach me how to make it!"
She couldn't afford to give away expensive things, and Xiao Jingze didn't care about them either.
Considering that Xiao Jingze is also afraid of the dark, giving him a handmade lantern is considered thoughtful!
Su Jinxiu studied with Li Qiang for two days, and her hands were pricked.
Finally, I made a barely decent tiger lantern.
Li Qiang looked at Su Jinxiu's hard work and praised Su Jinxiu against his will.
"This tiger lantern is so powerful and lifelike."
Su Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put the lantern away.
"Really, you shouldn't be embarrassed to give it away, right?"
Li Qiang nodded, not embarrassed to say anything.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the Qiqiao Festival.
After finishing my business, it was already dark.
The street is lively.
Su Jinxiu packed up early and closed the shop.
He also gave Li Qiang and the others a holiday and allowed them to join in the fun.
Xiaoxiao and the children from the village were waiting behind him.
Li Qiang brought lanterns and distributed them to them one by one.
The most exquisite rabbit lantern was left and handed to Xiaoxiao.
"Xiao Xiao, didn't you say you like lanterns the most?
I made this specially for you, take it."
Xiaoxiao took the lantern and blushed.
"Thank you, Brother Qiangzi."
Su Jinxiu went out with her tiger lantern and chuckled when she saw them like this.
"Stop standing here, the jugglers will leave later.
Sister, I’ll give you some pocket money, go have some fun!”
Su Jinxiu gave them some coins, and the children ran away with a cheer.
Xiaoxiao and Li Qiang hurriedly chased after her, not forgetting to look back and praise Su Jinxiu's lantern.
"Sister, your mouse lantern is so beautiful."
"Young lady, you are talking nonsense. Sister Su clearly made the cat lantern."
"No, it's obviously a pig lantern..."
Li Qiang quickly pulled them away and quickly threw them away.
The sound of the argument faded away, and Su Jinxiu's smile froze at the corner of her mouth.
Didn’t I say that she looked very similar? Why didn’t anyone recognize that this was a tiger?
Take a closer look, it does seem a bit different?
She immediately lost the courage to give it away and wanted to put the lantern back.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a young man dressed in white approaching.
When someone approached, she couldn't help but be surprised.
Who is that handsome man in white under the moon if not Xiao Jingze?
"Wang, Your Majesty?
What, have you changed your clothes?"
I am used to seeing Xiao Jingze always dressed in black, but suddenly he is so elegant in white clothes, which is really a bit strange.
Xiao Jingze stepped forward and looked down.
"Doesn't look good?"
Su Jinxiu shook her head and said sincerely.
"It's beautiful, it's just too pretty."
In the past, he was dressed in black and looked like the King of Hell.
I asked people to see it, but they didn't dare to come close.
Now he changed his clothes and became an immortal under the moon.
I can't help but want to drag him down from the altar.
Cruelly, ravaged.
When Xiao Jingze heard this, a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Don't leave? If you are late, you won't be able to catch up."
He took the lantern from Su Jinxiu's hand and made a gesture to leave.
When the lantern was in Xiao Jingze's hands, it became even more miserable.
Su Jinxiu had no chance to put it back, so she could only follow Xiao Jingze forward.
When we got to the street, it was a lively scene.
To say it is crowded is an understatement.
Where there are many people, there will naturally be trouble.
Someone seemed to recognize Xiao Jingze and was pointing.
"Isn't that the regent? What is he doing on such a good day?
Could it be that any girl would spend the Qiao Qiao Festival with him?"
"Who is not afraid of death? Dare to provoke this living king of hell?"
On normal days, Xiao Jingze would have ignored these words.
But today, it's different.
He frowned and looked over coldly.
The person who spoke immediately fell silent and quickly ran away.
He was about to find the residual image to solve the problem. When he turned around, Su Jinxiu took two masks and made gestures on his face.
"Look, which one do you like?"
One is a fox and the other is a tiger.
Su Jinxiu thinks they both look great when he wears them.
After making a choice, he handed him the fox mask.
"This one looks better..."
If you wear this, you will become a vixen.
Wearing a mask makes it really much quieter.
Xiao Jingze looked at Su Jinxiu and asked.
"Afraid of tigers?"
That's why you gave him the fox mask?
Su Jinxiu smiled with crooked eyebrows and put on a tiger mask.
"I'm not even afraid of death, how could I be afraid of this?
Ouch, I am the king of the mountain now.
You little fox, you have to obey me."
There was a huge crowd, but in Xiao Jingze's eyes, there was only that weird little tiger.
He reached out and held Su Jinxiu's hand.
"Well, I listen to the Mountain King.
There are many people, don’t get separated.”
Su Jinxiu thought the same thing, grabbed Xiao Jingze with her backhand and led him to squeeze away from the crowd.
There are a lot of food and drinks on the street, especially the candy stalls, which are crowded with children.
Su Jinxiu thought that Xiao Jingze loved sweets and wanted to buy him a candy figure.
The vendor looked helpless and gave up the business.
"I'm sorry, Madam, I'm really too busy here.
Otherwise, why don't you go look elsewhere?"
As he spoke, he handed the candy figures in his hands to the children around him.
The children cheered and more children were attracted.
It was not easy for Su Jinxiu to compete with the children, so she could only squeeze out with Xiao Jingze.
