Yuanshin, no one knows the harem better than me

Keqing is happy to answer: "During festivals, the small lanterns that people fly in the hands are called "Xiao Lanterns", and the giant lanterns built by Quanliyue people are "Mingxiao Lanterns"... This year's Mingxiao Lanterns are based on "moving Xiaodao Tianzhenjun" is used as a prototype to commemorate his noble soul who fought bravely for Liyue. "

The huge sky lantern sounds very shocking, and it must be beautiful when the time comes.

But searching everywhere, they couldn't find the shadow of the huge sky lantern.

Paimon pointed to the temporary platform next to the North Port Lighthouse, and asked, "Is the "Mingxiao Lantern" you mentioned meant to stand on that big platform?Are those ropes used to tie up the "Mingxiao Lantern"?Why does there seem to be a large area in the middle? "

Everyone looked at the place where many people were busy. The lamp base was built with wood and bamboo based on the limbs of Lord Yixiaodao Tianzhen.

At present, it seems that construction has just started, leaving a large blank for the body parts.

A few ropes were thrown on the ground feebly, they should have been there to tie something.

"That's the place reserved for the "Floating Stone". Every year, the "Floating Stone" is funded by Ning Guang personally..." When Ke Qing explained, she had a bad expression on her face.

A finished "Xiao Lantern" is composed of corduroy material, lamp paper fiber and bamboo wood frame.

But if you want the lantern to rise into the sky, you must press the floating stone again.

Of course, ordinary "Xiao Lantern" only needs some "Floating Stones", but the floating stones needed for the huge "Ming Xiao Lantern" must be "a complete and huge piece".

Rare things, priceless.

"Personal sponsorship! Ningguang is so rich!" Paimon opened his mouth wide, his face full of envy: "I just heard that Ningguang has prepared a super large floating stone for this year's Mingxiao Lantern. The biggest in 20 years! Everyone is looking forward to it!"

Facing Paimeng's exaggerated words, Ke Qing frowned: "Mmm..."

With such an expression, anyone with a discerning eye could tell something was wrong.

Xia Tian didn't speak all the time, just watched the cordial conversation of the four girls on the sidelines.

But if Keqing encountered difficulties, he couldn't sit idly by and ask directly: "Did something happen? Is the Sea Lantern Festival in trouble?"

Pai Meng put his hands on his hips, and followed Niubi bang bang: "If you have any troubles during the Sea Lantern Festival, come to us! We are small experts in dealing with troubles!"

Regardless of Ying's willingness or not, it seems that this guy Paimeng took over a lot of jobs without authorization.

Keqing hurriedly withdrew the anxiety on her face, shook her head and denied: "No, it's just that Ningguang has been too busy recently, and the matter of the floating stone has been delayed for a few days...but there are still seven days left, we can also start building the exterior first, it should be in time .”

She said so, but the worry in her eyes was clearly still there.

Summer has a bad feeling.

Ningguang is a thoughtful person, since she agreed to sponsor the buoyant stone for the Sea Lantern Festival, there will be absolutely no accidents.

She entrusted Keqing to take care of the Sea Lantern Festival, but now she is procrastinating on the issue of floating stones... It shouldn't have much to do with it, right?

Xia Tian believes that Ningguang must also hope to make the Sea Lantern Festival lively.

This is the era of the rule of man after the emperor left.

It is also an excellent opportunity to restore Li Yue's weight in the hearts of the merchants of the Seven Kingdoms after the emperor's departure.

Even if Ningguang and Keqing had conflicts, disputes over rights or other aspects, they would not act childishly on such a major matter concerning Liyue's face.

Now I can only think of the bright side.

There are a lot of things to be busy now, and there is really no time to intervene.

What's more, it belongs to Seven Star's internal affairs, so it would be strange for others to intervene, and it may even cause dissatisfaction among more groups.

But Xia Tian still gave a promise: "As Paimon said, if you need help with anything, you can come to us at any time."

With his words, Keqing is very content.

"It's all good together, please rest assured."

She is tough and independent, with a confident smile: "I—"Yuhengxing" Keqing, will definitely bring you the best sea lantern festival in history! "

Chapter 390 If you don't go, who will pay?

Ke Qing swears, and of course everyone will not doubt it, and the expectations for the Sea Lantern Festival have increased a bit.

Turn your eyes from "Mingxiao Lantern" back to the street where the stalls are still increasing.

Paimon finally seized the opportunity to talk about the topic she cared most about: "Are those streets the Xiaoshi?It's so lively. "

"Yeah." Ke Qing nodded, and said in a slightly joking tone: "The stalls in Xiaoshi are held by various commercial firms in Liyue once a year. It is rare that they are not for making money, but only for raising construction materials for "Mingxiao Lantern" And opened. "

"Not for making money? Are they all free?" Paimon's eyes widened like brass bells, as if he had discovered "one·piece".

"Hehe." Ke Qing smiled, even though she ruined her own elegance, she couldn't help but slap Paimeng: "Of course it's not free, but all the income will be used as funds for the construction of "Mingxiao Lantern"... ...Please also support Paimondo. "

This time it was Mona's turn to be surprised: "Those unscrupulous businessmen are willing to donate all the money they earn? You have to check carefully, I suspect that some of them must have pocketed their own money!"

From the tone of her voice, she had a lot of hostility towards those businessmen.

It is estimated that when she lived in Liyue, she was cheated a lot of money.

That's right, with her income, how can she survive in Liyue.

Ke Qing expressed indifference to Mona's concerns: "This is the tradition of the Sea Lantern Festival. Although the bulk of the fee is allocated by the Department of General Affairs, the materials and other things are all donated by the residents... The merchants want to win With a good reputation and popularity, it is rare to do such a stupid thing of "picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon". "

Mona rolled her eyes, still not believing it.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether she believes it or not.

Ying was curious about something else: "Can I donate anything? I just saw that a little girl donated a doll. Can that also be used to make "Mingxiao Lantern"? "

In fact, what I saw were not only dolls, but also colorful shells picked up, eggs laid by old hens, and various stamps collected... In short, there are all kinds of things.

"Well..." Ke Qing didn't feel embarrassed, but relieved.

She explained: "After all, the Sea Lantern Festival is a big festival. If the residents want to participate in the construction of the "Mingxiao Lantern", no matter what the donation is, it is always a heart, and we will generally accept it..."

"After all, it's such a grand festival, participating in it also means praying for blessings!"

Ke Qing looked at the officials in charge of receiving donations. It was so late, and there were still many people running over with their things.

With these lovely Liyue people, no matter how many difficulties they encounter, this year's Sea Lantern Festival will definitely be the grandest!

It's almost time to chat, Keqing still has work to do.

At the last moment, Paimon finally revealed his true colors: "Will there be delicious food in the "Xiaoshi"? "

"Pimon—" Ying was speechless to her little follower, although she herself was a little hungry.

When it comes to food, that is Liyue's traditional strength, and it is an absolute weapon for foreigners to quickly experience and fall in love with Liyue.

Keqing decided to take a few more minutes, and happily introduced: "Of course there are a lot, and let me say that the Sea Lantern Festival is the most suitable festival to taste Liyue delicacies."

She opened her hands and pointed to the streets on both sides of "Xiaoshi": "This is the biggest festival of the year in Liyue. If you can show your craftsmanship to everyone at the Sea Lantern Festival, you will definitely win a lot of word of mouth!"

Ke Qing said it quite vigorously: "So, although it's not for making money, all the merchants are secretly working hard to compete for the level of craftsmanship at the Sea Lantern Festival!"

It turned out to be such a competitive event!

Xia Tian glanced left and right, but didn't find the vitality girl Xiang Ling.

It stands to reason that she should not miss such a lively event.

Paimon drools when he heard this, sticking his fingers to his lips, and occasionally licking with his tongue: "Then, what store sells the best food around here?"

This is a big problem.

For thousands of years, there has been no argument, and quarrels have often arisen over this.

"The most delicious?" Ke Qing was also stumped, and after a moment of contemplation, she said: "Each has its own characteristics, and I can't draw conclusions... But, I can tell you that the most popular snack stall at present is that On the side of "Yi Nian". "

She was quite worried about this: "If the popularity is higher during the day, I will apply to the Qianyan Army to maintain order."

"Is it so hot? Is it really that delicious?" Paimon couldn't wait, his hands and feet were shaking.

"You can go there and try it yourself... His shop is also the last to close every night. It may be closing now. There should not be many people. You can go there sooner."

Ke Qing pointed to a shop at the back on the right side, it was almost late at night, and there were still people queuing up.

"Then let's go quickly!" Paimon had already turned around.

This time, it was Ke Qing who kept her: "By the way, if you are going to find Yi Nian, please help me bring this document to him."

Ke Qing held a report in her hand, which was probably some kind of advertising plan?

"This is the Department of General Affairs. According to the overview of the data of the Sea Lantern Festival last year, I would like to give you business suggestions. Since we are going, can you help me by the way?"

She is Keqing, and she will definitely not make people's hard work in vain: "After I come back, I will give you a small gift as a reward."

Have food and pay?How can you refuse such a good thing?

Paimon grabbed the report himself and turned around again: "Then let's go!"

Then, it failed again and again.

This time, it was Xia Tian who did not move: "You guys go."

Ying asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Xia Tian pointed to the old man at the seaside of the port, it was Grandma Ping.

Paimon was in a hurry.

Maybe there will be nothing to eat if you go late, but the matter of finding Grandma Ping is also very important!

Xia Tian greeted: "Ying, and Mona, you can accompany Paimeng to eat, I'll go find Grandma Ping alone."

Before Ying and Mona agreed.

Unexpectedly, Paimon strongly objected: "Hey, why don't you go? How can I do it..."

I was a little taken aback.

I didn't expect myself to be so important in Paimon's eyes, and I was a little moved.

...Usually, I always have an attitude of hurrying away and don't come to share my food.

The emotion lasted only a second.

Paimon was very frustrated, and spoke sincerely: "If you don't go, who will pay for it?"

Both Ying and Mona can afford the consumption of snacks, and Keqing's rich wife is by her side... But for some reason, spending summer money will make the food more delicious.

"Paimon—" Xia Tian had a gloomy face, and was really moved to feed the dog.

But seeing the other three people laughed at the same time: "Huhu——"

Like the spring breeze blowing, the peach blossoms in the garden are in full bloom.

Just as a reward to make them happy, Xia Tian threw out a few golden coins.

There are ten golden moras in total, equal to one thousand moras.

If it was just a snack, it would be enough, no amount of Paimon would be able to carry it.

I don't know when I can raise this white-eyed wolf.

Chapter 390: May the Torch Be Passed On, Virtue Is Indestructible

Although the night market in Liyue Port is lively, it is rare for children to stay late.

Only during the Sea Lantern Festival, they will make an exception and relax. Facing the bright lanterns, the children always play crazy.

Even so, it's late now, and it's time to go home and sleep.

But before heading back, the kids have one last thing to do, or they won't be able to sleep well.

That is to listen to the story told by the old woman by the port, which is a story that many adults do not know.

The vicissitudes and kind voice make every story so real and moving.

……

Grandma Ping bowed her waist, with her hands behind her back, looking at the Mingxiao Lantern being built, surrounded by a group of children.

Every year at the Sea Lantern Festival, she will tell stories by the port so that the children will not forget the tradition of the Sea Lantern Festival.

Perhaps because of the subtle influence of those stories, the tradition has not only not become weak, but has become more and more intense day by day for thousands of years.

"Kids, do you know which fairy is the shape of this year's "Mingxiao Lantern"? "

Not

A few kids have already heard it, so they know the answer.

But instead of getting impatient because of the repeated questions and answers and stories, they answered in unison very cooperatively: "It's "Yi Xiao Dao Tian Zhen Jun"! "
