Chapter 312 Flying!
In the study, Lin Xiaomi was busy making Kongming lanterns.
"Madam, Lord Marquis, Madam is here, and the Crown Prince and Brother Yi are also here."
Are all the people from the main courtyard here? What are they doing here at this hour?
Put down what you are doing and go out to meet people.
"Dad, Mom! You're here!"
"Let's come and take a look, Xiaomi, what did you put in the yard just now?"
Lin Xiaomi sighed, the news in the Marquis' Mansion spreads so fast! The whole family knows what happened in a certain courtyard immediately.
"Sky Lantern."
Xiao Yi's eyes widened, his moist eyes full of curiosity. Sky Lantern, is that the lantern he saw? What a nice name.
"But is there anything else?"
"I just gave it a try and it flew away." Lin Xiaomi pointed to the sky.
"I'm working on it now. Please wait a moment, Dad. It will probably take another quarter of an hour to be done." She thought they were curious about the lanterns flying into the sky, so she thought for a moment and said, "Dad, if you want to see the sky lanterns take off, wait until dark, the effect will be better."
"Okay, it's getting dark soon, go ahead and do it, and we'll have dinner in your yard tonight."
"Then let's call the second and third sons as well." Sun suggested that the whole family could not be present and only miss the other two sons.
Xiao Zhen nodded.
What could she say when her parents-in-law wanted to eat at her place? Lin Xiaomi told Xi Que and Daya to entertain them and told the kitchen to make more food. She took San Ya in to make lanterns.
Why did she bring Sanya with her? She found that this girl was very skillful and could help a lot with her. On the contrary, the other two were much more clumsy.
Before dinner, we finally succeeded in making one. Because we were all thinking about the lantern, we ate dinner quickly.
Everyone looked at the paper lantern curiously. There was nothing special about it. How could such a simple lantern fly into the sky?
"Dad, light the candle inside. When it gets hot, the sky lantern will fly up."
Xiao Zhen lit the lamp as instructed.
Everyone stood by, staring intently. Even Sun was curious, though she had only seen a shadow that afternoon.
After a moment, the light slowly rose.
“It’s flying, it’s flying!”
Xiao Yi shouted excitedly.
Others were also amazed. It really flew. It was truly magical.
Xiao Ran looked at Lin Xiaomi with admiration. What was going on in his wife's head? She was so different. Her mother said that she had told her in the morning that she could go to enjoy the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, and asked her to go to the moat to make a wish and release lanterns.
Who would have thought, wow, she actually made a flying lantern.
Xiaomi is a treasure that always brings him surprises.
Xiao Zhen looked at the lantern in the sky and asked, "Xiaomi, how long can this lantern fly?"
She really didn't know this.
Lin Xiaomi blinked: "The candle inside has burned out."
If the candle is longer, it can fly longer, Xiao Zhen thought to himself.
"This one is a little small, can it be made bigger?" If not, it's okay, just put a few more.
"It should be possible. My daughter-in-law will try making a big one tomorrow."
"How about this, I'll call a skilled craftsman over, you give him some pointers, and he'll do the work. You just need to make lanterns for you and Ran for the Lantern Festival in the future."
"to make."
She really can't do so much by herself, and it's better for her father-in-law to do it himself.
"Sister-in-law, I want one too." Xiao Yi said, raising his little hand.
"Sister-in-law, please do your best. Do as much as you can."
Well, she has to work overtime again tomorrow, luckily there are a few people to help her.
Sun knew that she was busy, so she exempted her from paying her respects tomorrow.
Everyone dispersed, and he looked at his capable wife calmly, "My Lord, this lamp is too dull in white. Can you paint it after you are done?"
You can't just do it, it's important to get involved.
"Can these red papers also be used to make lanterns?"
"Yeah, it looks festive. We can also write our wishes on this sky lantern and pray for them to come true when we release it."
"Just like setting off lanterns by the river?"
Although they are all for praying and making wishes, this one is more interesting.
"Ah."
"Wait until the Lantern Festival, when we have finished admiring the lanterns, we will choose a quiet place and release the sky lanterns together to pray for blessings."
Lin Xiaomi nodded. This man still understands a little bit of romance.
"Where is the Fucheng Lantern Festival held?"
"The market is not far from the moat. Are you still going to release the lanterns?"
"Let's not go." She knew that the people who went to the river to light lanterns were all women, so it would be inconvenient for him. "My Lord, will there be lantern riddles later?"
"Yes! Let's go guess together tomorrow."
It’s good to have them. The riddles in Pingyang City are so simple that she wants to cry. She hasn’t been embarrassed to show off over the years, and she doesn’t know how difficult the riddles in the provincial capital are.
The ancients were very averse to the color white, and festivals must be festive. Lin Xiaomi chose all red, and Xiao Ran wrote some blessings on them.
At the same time, he also figured out the process of making sky lanterns. It's really not difficult to make, it's just that no one has figured it out. He thinks this thing may really be used in border defense.
It is still very conspicuous when lit at night.
The speed of message transmission is definitely much faster than that of a horse.
