Chapter 311 Make a Few More Lamps
"This will look better if we set it off at night! Xi Que, go get some more materials so we can make more for the Lantern Festival. And prepare some painting tools, because white paper is too monotonous and doesn't look good."
"Yes!"
The magpie thought that white paper was not good-looking, so he went to ask the housekeeper if there was any red paper of the same quality as rice paper.
Other people in the mansion also saw the lanterns flying in the sky and were amazed.
"Where did this come from?"
"It seems to have come out from the prince's yard."
"Really? Who did it, and why can it fly so high?"
"Mother, mother! Look up at the sky!"
Xiao Yi called out to Sun loudly, his eyes full of surprise.
Sun came out after hearing the sound and was also amazed. How could it fly so high? How did it do that?
The old marquis heard the noise and came out to the yard. He looked up until the light was reduced to a tiny dot.
"Go ask, who did this?"
"Yes."
The old man looked serious, and the people below did not dare to delay and immediately went to check the origin of the lamp.
The Marquis's Mansion is so small, how long would it take to get a piece of news? In less than half an hour, someone came back to report that it was from the Crown Prince's wife, and the old Marquis immediately ordered the servants, "Go call the Marquis and the Crown Prince over."
The servants are really confused. What happened to the old marquis today?
"Yes."
They don't need to understand what their master is thinking, they just need to follow his orders.
Xiao Ran, who was still studying in the study, and Xiao Zhen, who was working in the office, knew nothing about this. They paid their respects to the old man in the morning and evening. The old man would not call them at another time unless there was something urgent. There was nothing that could not be said during the greetings.
Therefore, neither of them dared to delay, put down what they were doing, and went to the backyard.
They met at the door and were both confused. What had happened?
"Grandpa (Dad)!"
"Come on! Ran'er, what did your daughter-in-law make today?"
Xiao Ran was confused: "I don't know, I've been studying in the study all day. What's wrong, Grandpa?"
Did Xiaomi do something he shouldn't have done? Logically, that shouldn't have happened, as his wife was so cautious.
"She made a lamp, a lamp that could fly into the sky."
what! ?
So?
"Grandpa wants it?" Xiao Ran asked tentatively. His wife often made some strange things, and everyone in the family supported her very much.
"Dad, what's different about this lamp?"
I'm just interested, why would I call them over so urgently?
"Make more of these lanterns and see how high and far they can fly, where they can fly to, and how far they can see. If these lanterns are used for border defense, and if there is an enemy invasion, lighting the lanterns to warn them, wouldn't that make it faster?"
The old marquis' words made Xiao Ran and Xiao Zhen fall into deep thought.
Can the Lantern Festival lanterns made by his wife (daughter-in-law) have this use?
They didn't see how Lin Xiaomi released the lantern, and they knew that Daddy (Grandpa) wouldn't do it without a purpose, so they became more curious about the lantern. How did the lantern take off?
"Ran'er, go back to your wife and ask her to make more lamps as soon as possible." The old marquis ordered.
"My grandson knows."
Xiao Yi from the main courtyard pestered Sun to take him to his eldest brother's courtyard, where he wanted to ask his sister-in-law for the lantern so that he could play by himself. Sun was so pestered that she could only take him to her son's courtyard.
This was the first time she set foot in her son's courtyard after he got married.
When I turned the corner, I saw my husband and son.
"Why are you here?"
"Grandpa wants Xiaomi to make a few more lanterns, and Dad also wants to go and see what they look like."
"Wow..." Xiao Yi cried in disappointment. Grandpa wanted it, so how could he have a share?
Sun was troubled by the trouble.
But since her father-in-law wanted it, she didn't dare let her wife give it to the child to play with first.
"If you cry again, you won't have any share in any toys that your sister-in-law makes from now on." Xiao Zhen's face darkened. This child has been getting more and more naughty recently. If he is not taught well, he might make a scene.
Xiao Yi's mouth pursed, and his crying stopped abruptly. He looked at his father aggrievedly, with tears in his eyes. Seeing this, Sun felt distressed, but it was difficult for her to refute the Marquis' words.
"Yier, you have to be obedient. The things grandpa wants are of course important. When sister-in-law makes new toys next time, I will definitely give them to you first, okay?" Sun comforted softly.
Xiao Yi sniffed and nodded, but there was still a look of loss on his face.
Seeing that his son stopped crying and was relatively obedient, Xiao Zhen's expression eased a little.
"You can go with us, but Yi'er, you can't make a fuss. Just watch quietly from the side. Can you do that?"
Xiao Yi nodded. Just taking a look was better than nothing.
