Little Prince [Entertainment]

Qianguo calendar 130 years, the fifteenth day of the first month.

On the day of Shangyuan Festival.

The night of the first full moon of the year.Outside the streets and alleys are decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there is also a lively lantern parade. The common people enjoy the Lantern Festival together all night long.

The courtyard of the young master of the Xian family was still as deserted as ever.

The fire in the room was burning brightly.Xian Ziyu was wearing a coat and leaning against the window, leaning against the soft bed, facing the candlelight, holding a pair of scissors, seriously thinking about paper-cutting.

After a little effort, the "day" in the word "spring" was disconnected again.

Lian Di opened the thick windshield curtain.When I entered the room, I just saw him running out of patience, crumpling up the slightly cut "chun" and throwing it on the ground with a wrinkled face.

When he walked up to him, he saw the confetti on the ground red, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, "Try again?"

"It's been broken for the ninth time, so I won't cut it."

Xian Ziyu said angrily, "By the time I cut it out, spring will be over. I'm clumsy."

"If you can hold the pen and play the piano well, how can you be stupid?"

Lian Di put down the things in his hands, sat across from him and handed him a new piece of red paper, and gently persuaded, "Try again, I'll help you look at it here."

Xian Ziyu sighed, took it in a compromise and started again.This time when the scissors went wrong again, someone reminded him from the side, and he became more cautious after being instructed.For the tenth time, I finally cut out the complete Chinese characters for spring.

"I'm really good."

Dazzled by the sense of accomplishment, he was so excited that he forgot in a blink of an eye who was the one who was still yelling to give up in frustration just now, "Someone will stick it on my window later. Well, that one, The one I can see from my bed."

"it is good."

Lian Di smiled and put away the work he had worked so hard to cut out, and planned to paste it on himself later.

"Why have you been out for so long? Did you bring me a present?"

Xian Ziyu put aside one concern and devoted some attention to other things, pointing to his side, "What's in that bag?"

Lian Di didn't say directly, took out a cleaner drawstring bag from it, put it in his arms, "Open it and have a look."

Xian Ziyu held his breath and pulled the drawstring, his eyes lit up, "Rabbit lamp!"

He said he wanted it a few days ago.Lian Di didn't have annual leave and has been too busy to take care of it, thinking that he should forget it.Didn't expect him to take it to heart.

"There is a bigger one outside, I bought it at the market."

Lian Di said, "That one is used to light the lamp for you to see. This smaller one is made by myself."

"The rabbit lamp is white, so it won't look good if it is smoked by a candle."

Xian Ziyu held the exquisite and small paper bunny in his hand to watch, "I don't want to order this, I have to put it on the shelf inside. It's so beautiful."

"As long as you like it."

Lian Di nodded reservedly.

"I don't know what the people outside are doing."

Xian Ziyu looked at the little rabbit in his hand, and suddenly felt a little melancholy, "It's so far away, I can almost hear the drums. Isn't it very lively?"

He was unlucky this year, a cold wave passed, and at the end of the year he caught another wind chill.

Others may be able to recover after drinking a bowl of ginger soup and sleeping under the quilt.But for his frail body, it was already considered a serious illness.Even on New Year's Eve, I fell asleep after drinking medicine, and I failed to keep vigil.

I have been resting these days, but the quietness is too much and extremely boring.Hearing the sound of gongs and drums outside, the whole world was celebrating, and he couldn't stay in this room a little bit.

"Would you like to take a look in the yard?"

Lian Di thought for a while and suggested, "We can be lively ourselves."

Not long after, Xian Ziyu's soft chair was moved from the room to the outside under the eaves.

He was holding the stove, and his body was tightly wrapped in a thick cloak.Wearing the hat on the cloak and the furry scarf, only one face was exposed, watching Lian Di lead Mu Changchuan and the others to build a bonfire in the yard.

The three of Mu Changchuan came to salute him one by one, each with more complex expressions.

Xian Ziyu asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"...The leader said, let us give you a show."

Mu Changpei stepped out bravely and asked, "What do you want to see, my lord?"

It turns out that my hidden guards are all so versatile, which is really surprising.

Xian Zi Yuxin said that there is no reason for me not to join in, "Then let's do a dance."

Mu x3: "..."

Mu Changlin: "Young Master Yu, think twice!"

Lian Di: "Huh?"

Mu x3: "...as ordered."

That night, the three men who were carrying swords, guns, swords and halberds without fear, held up torches made of branches and reeds with trembling hands, and danced around the bonfire.

Lian Di picked up the snare drum that he made up on the spur of the moment, and beat them with two sticks.

Messy acting.Xian Ziyu, on the other hand, had a great time watching it, and felt a little disgusted by Lian Di's accompaniment. He took the simple version of the drumsticks by himself, "You don't have a good sense of music, and you can't get the rhythm well. I'll do it."

Lian. Not a good sense of music. Di: "...Oh."

With the drumsticks in his hands, the drum beats became visibly regular and active.From being forced to dance stiffly, the dancing people gradually let go of their hands and feet, and laughed and swayed their bodies to play.

At the end of a piece of music and dance, Xian Ziyu seriously commented, "Changpei's dance is the best. For girls, the posture is always softer and more agile. Even if it is not in the right way, it is still pleasing to the eye."

Mu. Unruly. Chang Pei: "...Thank you for your compliment, Young Master."

Xian Ziyu threw the branch in his hand into the bonfire and laughed.

The young master who is always indifferent and unfriendly to others on weekdays, occasionally has such a time to "have fun with the people".

The few people were quite surprised, seeing the smiles on each other's faces, and suddenly felt that it's okay to dance together.

"It's a pity that I can't see the lanterns outside."

Xian Ziyu said longingly, "I read in the book that there are endless lantern shows along the street for ten miles during the Lantern Festival. There are various shapes, such as flowers, birds, fish and insects, pavilions, towers and buildings, and so on."

"There are also river lanterns. They are all made into the shape of lotus flowers, and the candles in the wicks are lit, and the lanterns are pushed into the water and floated. Everyone put them on, and gradually they floated all over the river."

He said with fascination, "Like the stars on the ground."

Lian Di listened to him and stood aside silently.

"We can't fit the river in our yard, I'm afraid we can't fit that."

Mu Changlin took out the sky lantern that his boss had prepared early in the morning, and suggested, "How about playing with this?"

Xian Ziyu was very pleasantly surprised when she saw the new toy, she nodded repeatedly, "How do you play with this?"

With Lian Di's help, he successfully put the lamp up.

Lian Di helped him pull the lamp, and tied it to a short stake in the courtyard with a thin rope.

Xian Ziyu looked left and right, Mu Changchuan and the other three did the same thing, and asked in confusion, "Shouldn't we let it fly away?"

"Not busy, not busy, there is still one important thing to do."

Mu Changchuan brought paper and ink, and explained with a smile, "If you want to do something, just write it on this note. It will be pasted on the lamp later. Your wish will be carried away by the lamp. Tell God, he might be able to make it happen for you."

"I told God what to do."

The young master took the pen and was even more puzzled, "Just tell Lian Di."

Mu x3: "..."

Lian Di was secretly refreshed, and there was only an ordinary smile on his face, "That makes sense."

In the end, I wrote down my wish just like them.Xian Ziyu finished writing with just a few strokes, carefully picked it up and dried it, and hid it tightly in her hand.

"That's the way it is. You can't show it to others. It won't work if you see it."

Mu Changchuan secretly observed the small expression of his leader trying to take a peek, but he didn't say anything about brotherhood, and said quickly, "I'll count three, two, and let go quickly. Three, two... Hey, wait for me!"

Loosen the knot, and the paper lantern with the wish fluttered up and down, and finally flew away steadily.

Xian Ziyu raised his head, looked at the bright spots in the sky that were getting smaller and smaller, and kept silent.

Lian Di knew that what he wrote must be what he wanted the most.

His freedom.

"I will help you achieve it."

Lian Di said in a low voice.

Xian Ziyu was taken aback for a moment, and glanced at him.As if aware of what he was thinking, a gentle smile appeared on his lips, and when he looked at the paper lanterns flying in the sky again, a pair of bright flames burned in his dark eyes.

"Okay. I'm waiting for that day."

The author has something to say: Come to Liao!

So what did the little boy write?

There will be a point in the later (very late) text plot that echoes this, which is a small easter egg.I hope that those of you who have seen this place will still remember... Hehe

Goodnight everybody!
