The group’s favorite Xiao Long Bao: seven brothers and uncles love it to the extreme

"Humph." Chang Chun chuckled and withdrew his hand.

"Being able to have a wife is the blessing I, Xue Qingsong, have accumulated in my three lifetimes. Even if I die..."

"Bah." Chang Chun covered Xue Qingsong's mouth and spat, "You're celebrating the New Year, don't talk nonsense."

Xue Qingsong giggled, leaned over and chatted affectionately with Chang Chun in a low voice. After chatting for a long time, seeing Chang Chun's eyes becoming softer and silkier, Xue Qingsong was moved, "Madam, tonight..."

"Auntie!" Long Baoer's soft and waxy voice came, interrupting the ambiguous air between the two.

After the cleansing, Long Baoer changed into a pink and soft little clothes and was carried back by the maid.

"Long Bao'er, come quickly!" Chang Chun sat up in a second, combed his hair, and took Long Bao'er from the hand of the maid who looked a little scared.

The maid ran away quickly.

If you ruin the good relationship between the master and his wife, the look in his eyes will kill someone.

"What are you still doing here? Go and rest." Chang Chun chased people away in the next second.

"Madam..." Xue Qingsong's voice was filled with flattery.

"You, go first."

"Hey!" Xue Qingsong ran away happily.

Chang Chun smiled, hugged Long Bao'er and lay down, "Long Bao'er, go to bed."

Happy days naturally pass by quickly, and it’s the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the Yujin Dynasty, it was important to light lanterns.

Lanterns can be purchased ready-made or made by yourself.

In the first few days, there were many vendors on the street selling materials for making lanterns.

When Xue Lei came back from outside, he brought a lot of things with him.

Chang Maoming took a look and became interested, "We won't have class today. Let's make lanterns together!"

As soon as he said this, the seven children suddenly cheered. Soon the other brothers of the Xue family came over.

All of a sudden, there were materials on the table and on the floor.

Just buying these materials is not enough.

Xue Ting, the second son of the Xue family, also brought a lot of things when he came.

"Second brother, when did you buy this?" Xue Lei asked in a daze.

"I made them all these days." Xue Ting smiled softly, "I had nothing to do, and I thought that Long Bao'er hadn't celebrated the Lantern Festival yet, so I thought about making one for him."

"I also want to make it for my sister." The third child said in a low voice.

"I, I, I, I..." Lao Wu stuttered.

"He too!" Lao Si pointed at Lao Wu and concluded, then pointed at himself, "And me!"

"Since everyone wants to make it for my sister, why don't we compete to see who makes it for my sister the most." Chang Xuan touched his chin and said.

Most of the Xue brothers nodded, even Xue Ba, the sixth brother, nodded vigorously.

But Xiaoqi burst into tears, "I'm the youngest. I can't make it. My sister won't be able to see the lanterns I made. My sister probably won't like me."

"Brother Seven." Long Baoer ran over, "Brother Seven and I will do it together!"

Xiaoqi's tears turned into laughter in an instant.

The other brothers choked.

If I had known they would cry first!

However, the two children were not able to make lanterns together. Because what can one of five and a half years old and the other of more than three years old do.

Xue Lei divided the materials into two parts and divided the brothers into two groups.

Xue Lei and Chang Xuan each led a team to see which team did the best.

Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi were sent to a group, and Long Baoer was expelled.

Long Baoer puffed up his cheeks and complained to his second uncle Chang Maoming, "Brothers don't let me play with you!"

Chang Maoming, who had witnessed the whole process from beginning to end, was overjoyed, but he still pulled the aggrieved Long Baoer and the depressed Yingying beside him, "Come on, the three of us will do it together."

Lanterns can be complex, but they can also be simple.

A few thin bamboo pieces are tied tightly into shape, and then the patterned paper is pasted on it and decorated slightly.

You can insert a short candle head on the bottom holder, light it and press it, and it will become a beautiful lantern in the moonlight.

With a rope and handle attached to it, you can carry it around. If you hang it on the porch, it can also be used to light the way.

For a long time in the morning, the two groups of brothers performed no less than seven or eight piercings, each one more refined than the other.

It's a pity that this lantern was not used after all.

At noon, a message came from the palace, asking General Xue and his wife to take Long Baoer into the palace to participate in the lantern festival.

The lantern festival in the palace is held every year, and some courtiers are invited, and naturally children are also present.

But the Xue family and the Chang family did not participate.

The Chang family has a small population, with only six members in the family, and Chang Xuan is away from home all year round. He finally comes back and is disturbed. His Majesty is not so cold-blooded.

The Xue family is because both husband and wife are military generals, and there are too many sons in the family, and some of them are really naughty and troublesome.

Take them all over, I'm afraid the palace will be in a state of chaos.

Therefore, General Xue can push forward if he can.

But the father-in-law who came to deliver the message today smiled and said, "General, you can't refuse today, because it is Miss Long Baoer that the Holy Emperor and the Empress want to see."

"Meet Long Bao'er?"

"Long Bao'er is still young, what's the point?"

It was Ning who smiled and stuffed a big purse into Eunuch Xuanzhi's face, and the father-in-law said indifferently, "It's a good thing that the general and his wife are going, as long as they go!"

The Xue brothers were unhappy. They finally put up the lanterns, but their sister was nowhere to be seen!

"What's the trouble? I'm just going to the palace, and I'm not coming back. Let's put it at home first, so my sister can take a liking to it when she comes back, okay?" said Xue Zhen, the third child.

"This is a good idea. The third child can also use his brain now?" Xue Lei praised.

"Then do it this way!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"agree!"

"I agree too." A soft voice said.

Only then did everyone realize that Long Baoer's little head was stuck in the crowd.

"Hey, why did you bring your sister too?"

"My sister heard it all. Where is the surprise!"

"Sister, go change clothes and get ready to enter the palace!" Chang Xuan laughed and took Long Baoer away.

"Is it just Long Bao'er? Where's my cousin?" Long Bao'er said looking at the lanterns she and Cao Yingying made together.

"This..." Chang Chun hesitated. Turning around, I saw Cao Yingying hiding behind the pillars of the porch, looking here with only one eye exposed.

At a quick glance, one can see that Cao Yingying is full of projects.

The bald boys at home were making lanterns together, and only Long Baoer and Yingying were left. Now that Long Baoer is gone, Yingying is left alone.

Thinking of how much Yingying had changed these days, Chang Chun was also afraid that all the hard work he had done before would be in vain.

"Then ask the second sister-in-law to dress up Yingying, and I will take them with me."

"No need for that." Ms. Cao was surprised.

Going to the palace to see the lanterns was simply not enough for the Cao family, let alone her natal niece.

And she was also worried that Yingying, who was always willful, might bump into some noble person...

But her sister-in-law was sincere, and she could see it clearly now, and she was unwilling to let down her good intentions.

"What are you afraid of? Second sister-in-law is still afraid that our husband and wife cannot protect a child?" Chang Chun could see through Cao's thoughts at a glance.

"Okay! We'll be back soon."
