Hou Mansion has a daughter to marry

Chapter 21
The next day, Yan Qinglan began to take action.

Yan Qinglan asked his servants to prepare the materials for making river lanterns, and then carefully selected the materials he needed, planning to make a lotus river lantern for Xie Changning.He felt that Xie Changning was fresh and elegant, gentle and amiable, and he would definitely like the elegant lotus river lantern. Moreover, to him, Xie Changning was like a graceful lotus flower, emerging from the mud without being stained.

Under Li Caifu's guidance, Yan Qinglan worked extremely seriously, paying attention to every detail.

"Lan'er, what are you doing?" Without waiting for Yan Qinglan to answer, Princess Yanjun walked in, and saw something upside down in Yan Qinglan's hands, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a lotus river lantern.

Yan Qinglan was always gentle, and said with a smile: "Mother, I am making a river lantern." Before he knew it, this river lantern was seven or eight points completed. He was quite satisfied with his work, thinking Changning should like it, right?
Only then did Princess Yan realize that the Qiqiao Festival is coming soon.Seeing Yan Qinglan's earnest expression, Princess Yan couldn't help asking: "Lan'er, how can you do this?" But I have never seen him do this kind of rough work by himself. Today, Taiyang came out from the west!
Yan Qinglan smiled and said: "Mother, I asked Ah Fu to teach me, how do you think I am doing?"

Ah Fu, who was standing by the side, laughed "hehe". He is a child of a poor family, and he has to do everything by himself, so making river lanterns is naturally a no-brainer.

Princess Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you making this lamp for Xie Changning?"

Yan Qinglan nodded and said: "Yes, mother, now that Changning has recovered from her illness, I would like to invite her to spend the Qiqiao Festival together."

Speaking of Xie Changning's illness, it was caused by the youngest daughter of the Xie family, Princess Yan sighed and said, "Hey, that young girl of hers is really disturbing... It's not like she eloped with some wild man! "Princess Yan County has always had a lump in her heart. The disappearance of Xie Changan is well known. She is afraid that outsiders will point fingers at Xie Changning, which will hurt her family's Lan'er.

Yan Qinglan frowned slightly, and defended Xie Chang'an: "Mother, maybe she didn't do it voluntarily... Maybe she was taken away by someone." Although he had never met the youngest daughter of the Xie family, he still felt that she was born in Rong'an. As a young lady of the Hou Mansion, and with such an outstanding eldest sister as Xie Changning, Xie Chang'an would not even understand basic etiquette, justice, and shame.

"Whether it's voluntary or captured, the reputation of the youngest daughter of the Xie family will be ruined anyway!" Princess Yan shook her head and sighed.Besides, the princess of Yan County has always believed that there will be no rumors, and everything has traces to follow, so how can rumors be groundless.

Yan Qinglan lightly put down the river lantern in her hand, looked at Princess Yanjun and said solemnly: "Mother, this is a hurdle in Changning's heart. If you see Changning in the future, please don't bring up this matter again." Yan Qing Lan's usually gentle face showed a bit of caution.

Princess Yanjun's heart was sour, she frowned and said: "You care about her so much now, marry her in in the future, don't forget your mother if you have a daughter-in-law."

Yan Qinglan smiled softly, and coaxed: "How could that be? My mother loves me so much, how could I forget my mother?" Yan Qinglan and Yanjun Wangfei have a deep relationship between mother and child, and she is a close relative who freely watched him grow up Such a person, the weight in his heart is extremely heavy.

"It's so good." Princess Yan smiled gratifiedly. Although it is difficult to predict the future, she believes that Yan Qinglan must be a dutiful son.

Prince Zhong's Mansion.

Prince Zhong thought about it, but he was still worried about Princess Zhong, and personally ordered that Prince Xiao Yuchu's mansion should not be allowed to move.

Xiao Yuan knocked on the door, but no one came to open the door for a long time, he asked doubtfully, "Where did Yu'er go?"

At this time, Xiao Yu was concentrating on eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and didn't want to pay attention to the annoying knock on the door.Now, he can't leave the palace, nor can he see Xie Chang'an, only eating can relieve his depressed mood.

Xiao Yuan looked suspiciously at the quiet door, Zhang Han who stood aside pointed at the room and nodded, indicating that Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yu were in the room at this time.

Xiao Yu called suspiciously: "Yu'er!" When Xiao Yu heard Xiao Yuan's voice, he immediately dropped the half-eaten sweet-scented osmanthus cake, wiped his hands carelessly on his body, and ran to open the door.

Seeing Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yu exclaimed in surprise: "Brother!" For a while, Xiao Yu jumped up and down, as happy as a child.Although Xiao Yu was mentally incomplete, he knew who was good to him and who was bad to him. Xiao Yuan loved him very much since he was a child.

Xiao Yuan knew that Xiao Yu must be bored these few days, after the two entered the room, Xiao Yuan asked with a smile: "Yu'er, the Qiqiao Festival is coming soon, do you want to go to release the river lantern?"

Xiao Yu shook his head without hesitation and said: "I don't want to, it's boring." Although it's boring at home, he also doesn't want to do things that have nothing to do with Xie Changan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu felt blessed, and pretended to regret and said: "Yu'er, the Qiqiao Festival is very lively, maybe Xie Changan will also go at that time, since you don't want to go, then forget it..."

Hearing Chang'an's name, Xiao Yu's spirit was lifted, and he blurted out: "Brother, I'm going, I want to play with Chang'an." After a pause, Xiao Yu frowned and said: "Brother, dad won't let me go out... ..."

Xiao Yuan waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's nothing, I will tell my father, but you, Yu'er, have you thought about what to give to Xie Chang'an?" On Qiqiao Festival, lovers will give each other tokens of love .

Xiao Yu was at a loss for a moment, and murmured: "Gift? I...I have to think carefully." Xiao Yu lowered his head and fell into deep thought.He didn't know Xie Changan's preferences, so he really didn't know what to give as a gift.Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of the barely visible scar on his finger, which was the injury she suffered when she made a wooden rabbit for Xie Changan.

"I got it! I got it! Big brother, I'm going to make a rabbit lantern for Chang'an!" Xiao Yu thought that rabbits are the most suitable for Chang'an, and Xie Chang'an will definitely like the rabbit river lantern.The last time it was a wooden rabbit, this time it was a rabbit river lantern, so when Xie Changan saw the rabbit, he would think of him.

"It's so good." Seeing Xiao Yu's eagerness to try, Xiao Yuan smiled gratifiedly. As long as Xiao Yu cheered up, he wouldn't worry.

Xiao Yu was good at making small gadgets since he was a child, so it is not difficult for him to make a lantern, but the technique is more immature.There are still four days before the Qiqiao Festival, these few days Xiao Yu hides in the room and works hard, as long as it is related to Xie Chang'an, Xiao Yu is full of energy.He has been busy for a long time and has already made two river lanterns, but he is not satisfied with the appearance of the two river lanterns, so he plans to make another one that looks better.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Master, are you in there?"

It was Tian Qing's voice, Xiao Yu responded, and continued to concentrate on making river lanterns, without any delay.

Tian Qing came to inquire about the news on behalf of Prince Zhong. This morning, he heard that Xiao Yu locked himself in the room. He didn't know what he was messing with. Tian Qing took a closer look and vaguely saw that Xiao Yu was making a river lantern , Confirmed: "Master, are you making river lanterns?" As he spoke, he put the cakes he brought on the table beside him.

Xiao Yu focused on the river lantern in front of him, and said without raising his head, "I'm making a rabbit river lantern."

Tianqing got the news and reminded: "Young Master, I have some snacks on the side. If you are hungry, use some." After finishing speaking, she stopped disturbing Xiao Yu, quietly retreated, and went to report to Princess Zhongqin.

As soon as Tianqing left, Xiao Yuan pushed the door in behind. Xiao Yu was immersed in making river lanterns, and did not notice Xiao Yuan's arrival. Xiao Yuan stood aside for a long time without making a sound, only looking at Xiao seriously. The movements of Yu's hands.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Yu felt a little hungry, put down the river lantern in his hand, and saw Xiao Yuan at the side, Xiao Yu asked in surprise: "Brother, why didn't I know when you came?"

Xiao Yuan hit Xiao Yu on the head with a folding fan, feigned anger and said: "You, you are so mesmerized by what you did, I really don't know whether elder brother or Xie Chang'an is more important in your heart!"

Xiao Yu scratched his head embarrassingly, and whispered: "Brother, you are as important as Chang'an, and you are both good to Yu'er." the person I like.

Xiao Yuan sighed in his heart. He wondered what kind of charm this Xie Chang'an had, which had captured his ignorant brother's heart. If there was a chance in the future, he would definitely meet this Xie Chang'an. It's a pity...

Xiao Yu wiped his hands indiscriminately, picked up the pastry and was about to eat it, Xiao Yuan couldn't stand it any longer, he said to stop him: "Yu'er, just look at your hands, alas, how can you take them with something so dirty? Just eat this pastry? If you are like this, Xie Changan will not like it!" Xiao Yuan now understands that Xie Changan is the trump card, once Xie Changan is mentioned, Xiao Yu is sure to be obedient.

Sure enough, Xiao Yu threw the pastry that reached his mouth aside, hid his dirty hands behind his back in embarrassment, got up and went to clean his hands.

Here, Princess Zhongqin listened to Tianqing's reply, her brows were frowning, Xiao Yu made this rabbit river lantern, she knew without thinking that it must be given to Xie Chang'an, but Yu'er's father would not allow Yu'er to see Xie Chang'an, what should I do?Ugh……

Xiao Yuan is not as sad as the loyal princess. As long as Xiao Yu is happy, you don't have to care about other things. After Xiao Yu is full, Xiao Yuan will accompany Xiao Yu to continue making river lanterns, pointing out from time to time, Xiao Yu also Don't be annoyed, I am modifying it carefully, trying to make the rabbit river lamp more perfect.

You're done!Xiao Yu couldn't smile from ear to ear looking at the completed Rabbit River Lantern, and asked Xiao Yuan expectantly, "Brother, do you think Chang'an will like it?"

Xiao Yuan Wannian's favorite brother, replied without hesitation: "This is Yu'er's hard work, how could Chang'an not like it?"
