The only favorite Qing Palace: Concubine Xi An

Chapter 160 Tanabata
On Qixi Festival, Lan Xin got up early.

The Qixi Festival is commonly known as the Qixi Festival. In Han families, some items such as "Qiqiao Fruit" are often prepared to spend the Qixi Festival.

Lan Xin has always known that Lord Kangxi used Han people, so naturally she also thought about celebrating the "Qixi Festival".

And on this day, in Beiyuan, Lan Xin ordered someone to purchase some paper lanterns and hang them on the beams of the corridor.

Although it was not night yet, the festive atmosphere was there.

"The outsiders don't know, they thought we were celebrating the New Year." Luliu couldn't help but said looking at the lanterns hanging on the veranda and the Qiqiao fruits in the yard.

They are harmonious in Beiyuan, and the natural atmosphere is much warmer.

"Isn't it?" Xiao Hezi said: "In our Han family, it's like this every Qixi Festival."

Xiao Hezi is a Han Chinese.When I was at home when I was a child, I naturally celebrated Qixi Festival.

After setting everything up, Lan Xin also thought it was good, so she simply took advantage of the good weather and sat in the sun to read a book.

These books were all sent by fourth master.Before Fourth Master said that he wanted to "study" Lan Xin's knowledge, Lan Xin would occasionally take it out to have a look.

Sometimes, also write some words.

In the afternoon of this day, Hongli woke up very refreshed, so he made a fuss about Madam Li coming over to the main room.

Lan Xin was practicing calligraphy, and when she saw Nanny Li carrying Hongli in, she said, "Put him aside and play by yourself!"

She wants to practice calligraphy now, but she has no time to play with Hongli.

Nanny Li agreed, and put Hongli on the small table under the window.

Hongli lay on the cushion, and naturally looked in Lan Xin's direction.Two dark eyes stared at Lan Xin without blinking, and seemed to be very interested in writing.

Lan Xin wrote seriously, and didn't even notice that the little guy was crawling towards her.

Hongli stumbled and crawled, and finally got to Lan Xin's leg.

"Er Niang." A soft and waxy voice called out, and Lan Xin came back to her senses.

Lan Xin put down the brush in her hand, and picked up Hongli.Pointing to the words on the paper on the desk table, he said: "Hongli, read it to Er Niang. These words are, Heaven rewards hard work."

Hongli blinked, looked at Eniang, and then at the words on the paper.

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee—" Hongli said aloud, as if he also wanted to imitate Lan Xin.

"Heaven rewards hard work." Lan Xin said it again very patiently, and then looked at Hongli.

"Yiyiyaya." I don't know if these words are too complicated, Hongli uttered vaguely, but he couldn't understand what he was talking about at all.

"Cian Fujin." Li Mama was beside her, and couldn't help but said: "Little elder brother is still young, so he must not be able to read at this moment."

Lan Xin naturally knew this truth, so she simply stopped teaching it.

He carried Hongli to the window and played with Hongli.

On this day, until the night fell, it had been a long time since Lan Xin had dinner, and fourth master had not come back.

The lights on the veranda outside illuminate the Beiyuan brightly, isn't it just waiting for Fourth Master to come back and take a look?
Although the fourth master might be back, he might not necessarily come to him.

Lan Xin was a little discouraged, so she sat down at the table again.

The words "Heaven rewards diligence" written in the afternoon are still on the table.The ink had already dried up, but Lan Xin saw that the word was actually okay.

At least it is much better than the crooked handwriting when I first practiced it.

"Yuxiu, roll up these words and put them away." Lan Xin called Yuxiu.

Lan Xin decided to keep these words.

Yuxiu came in, saw the words on the table, and couldn't help but said: "Ah, what did you write here, it's really well written."

Yuxiu couldn't read, so naturally she felt better when she saw Lan Xin's neat and neat handwriting.

"Heaven rewards hard work." Lan Xin said: "You know how I wrote in the past. Now I can write well, it's because of these few words."

"What Chu Fujin said is true." Yuxiu was delighted to hear it, and wanted to save the words.

They were talking, but fourth master walked in with his feet lifted.

"I saw brightly lit lights here from afar, how about the Qixi Festival?" Fourth Master said to Lan Xin when he came in.

Yuxiu held the writing in her hand, and almost didn't pay attention to Fourth Master who came in from outside.

"What are you taking?" Fourth Master was very interested in the paper in Yuxiu's hand, and thought Lan Xin had collected some calligraphy and paintings.

"Responding to Fourth Master's words, these are Ci Fujin's words." Before Lan Xin could stop her, Yuxiu confessed everything.

Although the word Lan Xin is neat.But, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch fourth master's eyes.

After hearing this, fourth master became even more interested, took it over, walked to the desk and said, "Master, just take a look at how your handwriting is doing."

Lan Xin had no choice but to let Fourth Master open the paper.

"Heaven rewards hard work?" Fourth Master was quite surprised when he saw these words.

"Yes." Lan Xin said: "Fourth Master always asks my concubine to read and write. If my concubine doesn't work hard, she won't be able to live up to Fourth Master's expectations."

Fourth Master smiled and said, "Your word has indeed improved."

After finishing speaking, Fourth Master walked up behind Lan Xin, wrapped his arms around Lan Xin's waist, and taught Lan Xin to write hand in hand.

"Come on, I'll teach you." Fourth Master's warm breath echoed in his ears, but Lan Xin was a little distracted.

"What are you talking about?" Lan Xin said angrily, "There are still people here."

"Where is someone?" Fourth Master said, and raised his head together with Lan Xin.

But he found that Yuxiu, who was still standing in the room, no longer knew where to go.

Lan Xin was at a loss for words, and said after a while: "The ink hasn't been polished yet, so why are you talking about writing?"

"What's so difficult about grinding ink?" Fourth Master said, holding Lan Xin's hand to grind ink.With the other hand, he took a small spoon and added water into it.

But after a while, the ink is worn out.

"Look." Fourth Master looked at the ink that had been ground and said, "The ink should be just like this. It's not thick or light, it's just right."

Lan Xin moved the tip of the pen lightly, dipped some ink, and wrote a word on the paper, only to realize that it was indeed so.

"I'm not a concubine for reading, where did I study these things?" Lan Xin blamed, and simply let the fourth master hold the hand to write.

Gradually, the night deepened.

For those lanterns in Beiyuan, some candles had already been burned out, so they went out.

Xiaohezi was on duty, so he ordered people to take down all the lanterns.These lanterns are colorful, and Xiaohezi always thinks they can be used during Chinese New Year or Lantern Festival.

Luliu helped Xiaohezi from the side, and couldn't help but said: "These lanterns are so beautiful, I should find a chance tomorrow and ask Fujin to give me one."

Xiao Hezi said with a smile: "You will like anything that is a little rarer if you see it."

"Stop talking nonsense." Lu Liu said: "Ci Fujin and the prince are still inside, if you listen to it so loudly, you will be scolded."

After hearing this, Xiao Hezi fell silent.

What the two of them didn't know was that the two people in the room had already made such a noise that they couldn't hear the sound from outside.
