Chapter 10 Girls' Games

The framework of the prayer lantern is easy to make, but the difficulty is the color paintings that are covered with outside.

Chen Zheng has learned sketching, but he is just a new drawing enthusiast and can't even be called a painter.

Therefore, this part consumes the most energy and time.

The seven colored paintings took Chen Zheng two days, and then the lantern prayer was completed after mounting.

Then, assemble the bracket.

First insert the support of the cloud pattern carving onto the bamboo pole, and then connect the two bamboo poles with a steering device made by Chen Zheng himself, with the short pole on the top and the long pole on the bottom.

The bamboo pole bracket is completed, and the next step is to hang the light.

Chen Zheng looked up and saw that the stands that were nearly two people tall seemed to be out of reach.

Don’t panic, as a qualified little carpenter, you can use the various woods you have at hand to make handy tools.

I found a few pieces of wood of appropriate length, planed flat, chiseled, sawed, and made a human-shaped ladder.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for completing a qualified human-shaped wooden ladder with woodworking experience +10!"

The system prompt sounded. During the production of the wooden ladder, Chen Zheng didn't take much attention and just thought that he could use it. As a result, the quality was only qualified.

Qualified human-shaped wooden ladder: Stable + 7

It is enough to have this stable attribute value, and Chen Zheng did not expect this wooden ladder to have other uses.

Open the wooden ladder, carry the prepared praying lanterns, and hang them on the upper and lower layers of support.

Three above and four below, Chen Zheng inserted the bend of the mechanism hole on the bamboo pole into the top three, turned it slightly, and the two layers of praying sky lanterns on the upper and lower levels immediately turned.

However, the directions of the two layers of praying sky lanterns are exactly the opposite, which is very clever.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for completing a well-quality praying lantern with a high-quality carpentry experience +88!"

Chen Zheng stopped and turned to check the properties of the praying sky lantern:

Excellent quality prayer lantern: dazzling +8, bright +8

Chen Zheng was very satisfied with the double 8 attributes. He could imagine that this lantern praying for the sky will shine brightly on the night of the Qiqiao Festival.

Yue Xiaorong did not ask what Chen Zheng was busy with during the day, nor did Chen Zheng say that the two seemed to have a tacit understanding.

Finally, Qiqiao Festival has arrived.

On this day, Chen Zheng got up early all day long. When he woke up, Yue Xiaorong was still asleep.

Taking advantage of the dim light at dawn, Chen Zheng supported his head with one hand and looked at Yue Xiaorong carefully.

A beautiful woman sleeping soundly!

Looking at Yue Xiaorong's white face and her eyelashes that were beating slightly from time to time, Chen Zheng resisted the urge to take a scent.

Chen Zheng woke up so early today, not to do such boring things. He has more important things to do.

After putting on his clothes with ease, Chen Zheng got out of bed and took a small pottery basin, and then went out.

Yue Xiaorong, lying on the bed, sighed softly, then slowly opened her eyes, looked at Chen Zheng's departure back, thinking.

Yue Xiaorong did not practice martial arts today. As the leader of Hongsong Village, she had to host a series of activities such as sacrifices during major festivals such as Qiqiao Festival, and she could not leave her way.

After lying on the bed for a while, Yue Xiaorong also got up. As soon as she got out of bed, she heard footsteps coming from outside. It was Chen Zheng who was back.

Chen Zheng was afraid of disturbing Yue Xiaorong's sleep. He gently pushed the door open. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yue Xiaorong sitting at the table with beautiful eyes looking at him.

A little awkward, Chen Zheng smiled embarrassedly and said, "Madam, are you awake?"

"I just woke up. What did my husband do early in the morning?" Yue Xiaorong said.

Chen Zheng brought the small pottery pot to Yue Xiaorong and said, "Isn't today a beggar festival? I went to pick some dew to cleanse my wife's hands and eyes."

"Dew water purifies your hands and improves your eyes?" Yue Xiaorong didn't quite understand.

Chen Zheng knew in his heart that Yue Xiaorong was not interested in the Qiqiao Festival because she knew how to make the Sky Lantern, and she didn't know much about the Qiqiao Festival.

So, Chen Zheng explained: "According to legend, the dew on this day of the Qiqiao Festival is transformed from the tears of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Using these dews to wash hands and wipe your eyes, you can get the blessing of the Weaver Girl, and you will be able to be skilled from then on."

"How could it be so magical?" Yue Xiaorong naturally didn't believe it.

Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Of course it won't be so magical, but this embodies people's yearning for a better life. Look, I've been back from picking dew early this morning. Why not give it a try."

Yue Xiaorong lowered her eyes and wanted to see that Chen Zheng's shoes and trousers were wet with dew, which shows that he had to worry about picking these dews.

"Okay, I'll listen to my husband." Yue Xiaorong said.

Chen Zheng was overjoyed and quickly found a washbasin to pour the harvested dew into it, soaked the facial towel and wet it.

"Madam, I'll help you wipe your eyes." Chen Zheng said.

"Um."

Yue Xiaorong agreed, then closed her eyes, looking like she was letting Jun Caijie.

Chen Zheng took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then used a facial towel to help Yue Xiaorong wipe his eyes, which is called cleansing his eyes.

After a while, Chen Zheng was still wiping, but Yue Xiaorong finally couldn't help it and said, "My husband, my eyes have been wiped, I'll wash my hands myself."

...

On the Qiqiao Festival, Yue Xiaorong was also very busy. After breakfast, she went to host a series of festival activities.

Burning incense to sacrifice to Qiaojie, slapping the fragrant bridge, and dividing the fruit. After working hard, the sun sets westward. The next time is women's carnival.

There are a variety of games and competitions.

Even Chen Zheng followed Yue Xiaorong and watched with relish.

Yue Xiaorong seemed to be really not interested in the Qiqiao Festival. Except for the ritual-feeling sacrifices, she did not participate in other game activities, but just watched quietly.

"Will the village leader come and try it?" a woman suddenly said.

Chen Zheng looked up and saw that the girl was as old as Yue Xiaorong, with an oval face and a dark complexion. Her phoenix eyes seemed to be reasonable and she looked directly at Yue Xiaorong.

"Who is this girl? Yue Xiaorong is the leader of the village, she is not afraid at all!" Chen Zheng thought to himself.

Yue Xiaorong smiled slightly and said, "Axia, you can just play these games."

The girl named Axia snorted and said, "I heard that the village leader is not responsible for the girl. I can't even thread the needle, right?"

Yue Xiaorong's face changed, and Chen Zheng secretly called out that they had lived together for a while, but he had never seen Yue Xiaorong use needlework. It seemed that he really wouldn't be a female hero.

Some of Axia and the others are fighting, called "Spitting a Needle Qiqiao". Using a colorful thread to pass through the seven pinholes, the faster they pass, the more clever they want. Those who wear slower are called "Lost a Clever". People who "Lost a Clever" should give the gifts prepared in advance to the clever ones.

"Why do I come?" Chen Zheng leaned over and said.
