The silly and sweet spring of crossing

Many of the patterns that Lu Ping embroiders on weekdays are also drawn by herself, and she is really good at this aspect.When she saw Qiu Baichen's drawing, she also liked it very much, so she agreed.

Qiu Baichen made an agreement with her here, don't be in a hurry to embroider, and want to see Wen Ling's opinion, so he went directly to Wen Ling.

He told Wen Ling his thoughts, and Wen Ling saw the drawings he drew, and found them very interesting, and the styles were rich enough.At present, Qiu Baichen's proposal is better and more comprehensive than those proposed by other lamp makers.Wen Ling wanted to agree directly, but suddenly remembered that her father had hired a lampmaker from the capital, who was said to be very good at making lamps.They were hurrying to this side, and his design was also brought over by pigeons. She couldn't refute her father's face, so she had to wait for the plan from there to arrive first.

"Then come to me when you've made up your mind." Qiu Baichen didn't know what Wen Ling was hesitating about, but since she said to wait first, she waited first.If Wen Ling accepted his suggestion and screwed things up, it would be his fault.If Wen Ling didn't accept his suggestion and messed things up, she would be the one to bear the consequences.

So Qiu Baichen went home. He suddenly came up with an interesting idea. Naturally, he wanted to continue to improve the plan while he was in the mood. Even if it didn't work this time, it should be useful one day in the future.He revealed the notice, naturally because he felt that he was competent. As for whether the other party used his things in the end, it was none of his business.

So his mood is still very relaxed, but Wen Ling's mood is not so relaxed.

Because the lamp maker's plan was delivered, Wen Ling saw that it seemed to be similar to the things made by the Lantern Festival in Beijing and Zhongzhou on weekdays, without any special features.Although the lanterns drawn by this lantern maker look very exquisite and lovely, she has seen many of them in Beijing. This scheme is quite satisfactory, and it is not as amazing as the scheme proposed by Qiu Baichen.

So Wen Ling wanted to reply tactfully to reject his proposal, but he didn't know where the lampsmith was now, so he could only wait until he came.

This matter is helpless to say, Wen Ling grew up in the capital, and he also understands the psychology of those people in the capital.They all felt that there was nothing better in the world than those in central Beijing. Even for this lantern festival, they felt that Jubei was just a barbarian state in the north. What good things could they produce?So everything they do is normal, because they don't take Jubei Kingdom seriously.

However, the people sent by Wenling to spy reported that they seemed to be very sure. Although Jubei Kingdom is located in a barren land, it has a vast territory, and the exchanges between the two countries are not deep enough. Maybe they can really do something interesting. , should not be underestimated.

Wen Ling felt that Qiu Baichen's plan still had the hope of winning, and hoped that other craftsmen could cooperate. It was not a small project.They only have less than three months, and they must work together without any flaws.

However, how to persuade the master lamp makers from the capital is a problem.

Naturally, Wen Ling was troubled by things here, but Qiu Baichen was very happy here.He has already begun to make the lanterns that will be used after the opening. The most conspicuous one is the revolving lantern that will be placed at the door. In order for the lantern to walk, the frame must be light enough without hindrance, but it must also be strong.

The name of their lamp shop should be written on the body of the lamp. Qiu Baichen's calligraphy is pretty good, but since he saw He Lanyuzhi's handwriting, he strongly urged He Lanyuzhi to write their signboard.

Of course He Lan Yuzhi would not refuse, so he wrote many sheets according to Qiu Baichen's request. Qiu Baichen picked the best one to have someone make a plaque, and said that when he had time to go back, he would replace it with the one written by He Lan Yuzhi at home. Shop sign.

Qiu Baichen was very prescient in this matter, which also doubled the value of his lamp shop in the future. Of course, this is all a matter of the future. Now Qiu Baichen is busy making lamps, and Wang Xian is beside him helping him.He Lanyu watched the craftsmen at work, and then gave lectures to He Lin. Xiao Chuliu played by himself next to them, while Lu Ping embroidered in the house, which can be described as enjoyable.

In the evening, everyone rested, Qiu Baichen went to bed, and He Lanyu took off his clothes under the bed.

"Did things go wrong during the day?" he asked.

"There's still some hesitation over there, I'll wait for an answer." Qiu Baichen replied, he was lying on the bed, and He Lanyuzhi took another look at Xiao Chuliu, sleeping soundly.

Although it is said that a new bed has been delivered, Xiao Chuliu said recently that he wants to sleep with Uncle He and Daddy, maybe because he has slept like this before, he became addicted to it, and then Qiu Baichen and He Lanyuzhi's beds were arranged in the same room. Inside the room, but there is a road in the middle, so that He Lanyu will not be disturbed by Qiu Baichen's wild sleeping position from time to time.

Qiu Baichen didn't show any displeasure, but He Lanyuzhi felt that he was not as happy as usual.Because Qiu Baichen is usually silly and happy, once the smile is not so bright, He Lanyuzhi can easily notice it.

"Do you have any preparations?" He Lanyu asked again, now he was already in bed.

"What does she say and how do I do it?" Qiu Baichen's first impression of Wenling was okay, and he has been able to communicate well with her until now.But Wen Ling is the eldest lady after all, and it is inevitable that she will show some arrogance to those who are lower than her.Qiu Baichen usually doesn't care much about these things, but this time, for some reason, he always feels uncomfortable, the more he thinks about it, the more uncomfortable he becomes, and the more he rubs his heart, the smaller his eyes become.

So he lost sleep.

Qiu Baichen and He Lanyuzhi chatted one after another, and after talking, Qiu Baichen couldn't hear He Lanyuzhi's reply.After he closed his mouth, he heard the steady breathing of the two people in the room, obviously sleeping soundly.

However, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. The more he moved, the hotter he felt and the more disturbed he was.Qiu Baichen had never encountered such a thing before, even though there were many setbacks and obstacles before, he always felt that he could get through it smoothly.

"He Nan, I can't sleep." He tossed and tossed most of the night, getting more and more annoyed and unable to sleep, so he called He Lan Yuzhi softly.He Lanyuzhi didn't sleep very deeply, but when he heard his voice, he slowly woke up, opened his eyes, and looked at Qiu Baichen.

It's already thirteen today, the moon rose outside, and the moonlight shone into the room, making He Lanyuzhi see Qiu Baichen's face when he opened his eyes.Qiu Baichen was wrapped into a ball under the quilt, his head was facing him, his eyes were staring, he looked very tired, but he couldn't fall asleep.

"What's wrong?" He Lanyu asked.

"I'm flustered, I don't know why, I didn't do anything today, and it doesn't matter what happened over there." He also couldn't explain why this unreasonable flustered feeling was, obviously it was just a little distaste for the attitude of the powerful at first.So the two of them stared at each other, and after a while, Xiao Chuliu cried.

"Daddy." Xiao Chuliu moaned and cried, He Lanyu got up and carried him outside to solve his physical problems, and then fed him some milk.Xiao Chuliu has grown a few teeth now, and she usually eats soft food and meat, but she has not been weaned yet, so she will eat a little at night when she is hungry.

Xiao Chu Liu fell asleep after eating, He Lan Yuzhi finished coaxing him, and walked to Qiu Baichen's bed.

Qiu Baichen didn't know why he suddenly had a brain twitch.

"You can coax me too, maybe I'll fall asleep like Xiao Chuliu." Qiu Baichen may have said such words because he was so sleepy that he lost his mind, and closed his eyes before he finished speaking.He Lanyu couldn't help but laugh. He put his hand on Qiu Baichen's body and wanted to pat him like Xiao Chuliu, but he didn't do it after a long time. Instead, he laughed.

Qiu Baichen was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open. He felt He Lanyuzhi's hand on his body, and for some reason, he suddenly calmed down, and soon fell asleep following his drowsiness.

However, He Lanyu suffered from insomnia afterwards.One of them didn't sleep in the first half of the night, and the other didn't sleep in the second half of the night. When they woke up, they both had dark circles under their eyes.Seeing Lu Ping, she went to cook a few eggs and let them knead them after dinner.

The strange panic in Qiu Baichen's heart also disappeared, and he continued to make his lantern happily, and taught Wang Xian some things.I also took a nap at noon, making up for the lack of sleep before.

He started to do his own thing here, and the lampsmith from Jingzhong over there finally rushed over.Because Wen Ling's father invited him, Wen Ling was very polite and went to pick him up in person.

The lamp maker's surname is Ding, and he is well-known. He is over 50 years old and has a beard, but he is in good health.

"Master Ding, hello," Wen Ling said.

"Miss, did you find other lamp makers to make this lantern together?" Ding Ding went straight to the point, and Wen Ling nodded.

"Then what do you think of the design drawing that I sent someone earlier?" Ding Ding was full of confidence, but Wen Ling was worried, and Ding Ding's face changed when he saw it.

"Master Ding's craftsmanship is naturally something I can trust, but this matter is not only about my personal reputation, but also about the national prestige of Great Chu." Wen Ling said, trying to be as tactful as possible.

"But I have already sent someone to investigate. The lamps made by the other party seem to be very novel and interesting. If we don't make some interesting lanterns here, we may not be able to win." Wen Ling said it very euphemistically, and Ding Ding also heard it Seeing what she meant, her face sank even more.

"It seems that Missy doesn't believe me." He said.

"Master Ding, you were invited by my father. I believe in your craftsmanship." Wen Ling said, "I found a lantern maker in Xinfang City. His designs are very novel and interesting. If you can follow his design If we do, we will have a better chance of winning."

"What's the name of that lampsmith?"

"Qiu Baichen."

"how old."

"It seems... only 20 years old."
