Chapter 11 Light 1

It's very good to be a passer-by. This is the realm

----------------

After returning from Qingyixuan, Su Siman was a little depressed. I ate early and rested.

The next day, the weather was fine, which made her feel better.

In these days, she also figured out that her own princess, who is also the noble crown princess of the State of Daliang, really has no status. From a weak country, she is still a fool. She was neglected and humiliated at the beginning. It is normal that no one pays attention to her. From another perspective, it is not a bad thing to be a passer-by, so you can stay away from the palace.

Ostrich people generally have this kind of self-comforting spirit, or it is called "A Q spirit".

Su Siman didn't waste much time with herself. She was very interested to ask about the folk customs of the Reunion Festival, especially the "light-burning party". She was very interested.

"Reunion Festival, also known as the Wangyue Festival, about the origin of this festival and legends..." Tourmaline sat on the small stool next to it, holding his cheeks and daytimely.

"Don't tell me where it came from. Isn't it Chang'e running to the moon? I know that!" Su Siman quickly interrupted her words.

"What Chang'e?" Bixi turned his face and looked at his master confusedly and ignorantly, with a pair of big dark eyes blinking.

Su Siman secretly pinched his thigh and thought: What kind of time and space is this? Even folklore is different from the ancient times in her previous space! The Reunion Festival is also called the Moon Festival! Tut...

"I'm talking nonsense, you go on... that... that reunion festival and moon festival..."

The tourmaline said "Oh" and continued with great interest: "Legend has it that many years ago, chaos began to open, and the heaven and earth were supported by four Optimus Primes, and then one of the pillars collapsed. An earth god named Ear was awakened by the loud sound of the pillar falling. Seeing that the western sky was about to fall, he stood upside down and stretched himself to support the sky. He also has a younger sister named Xi. She plays a torch and chats with her brother every night. I don't know how many years passed, the collapsed pillar was finally re-established, and the ear god was finally able to rest. Unexpectedly, he was exhausted and didn't get up after he fell down. Before dying, he left a word for his sister: He will become the moon to protect her.

This story is quite magical. It is very different from the ancient myths that Su Siman read when she was a child, which aroused her interest and asked urgently, "What happened later?"

"Later, the gods were moved by the brothers and sisters. It is allowed to meet the two brothers and sisters on the 15th of every month, so now the moon is round on the 15th. ( Su Siman sneered at this. What kind of logic! What an imagination! The ancients are the ancients, but this romance is not inferior to modern people.) In order to commemorate the ear god, various ceremonies were held on August 15th, and the 'light-burning event' was just one of them. Slowly, it became today's reunion festival. After saying that, Bixi grinned at Su Siman and was satisfied with Su Siman's expression of his longing face.

"Is it over?" Su Siman asked unwillingly, falling down. As soon as his interest was seduced, don't stop talking.

"It's over." Bixi stared at his master with a smile.

Su Siman was like a discouraged ball, pouted and stared at the tourmaline with dissatisfaction.

"It's really gone." Bixi covered his lips with one hand and couldn't help laughing. At this time, Su Siman's fat white face trembling excitedly, especially those small eyes. They were supposed to roll their eyes, but they didn't roll their white eyes, but they turned out most of their black eyes, not to mention how funny they were.

This master is still as funny as usual.

A look at Bixi's bitter smile, Su Siman suddenly remembered her "respectful face" that was very deceit no matter what expression she made. She glanced at the bronze mirror on the table and couldn't help laughing when she saw her expression. The tourmaline clapped his legs and laughed as if he had been granted amnesty.

Xiang'er and Baoqin outside the hall ran in without knocking on the door. Seeing these two laughing, they were a little confused. After looking at each other, Xianger asked doubtfully, "Princess, what's wrong?"

"Without your business, you can do whatever you have to do." Su Siman stopped laughing and waved his hand to send the two maids of honor.

At this time, Bixi also stopped laughing, lowered his eyebrows and restrained his eyes. I don't know if he just laughed too much, and his face turned a little red. At this time, I was a little nervous. I just laughed at the princess like this and didn't know what punishment to be. These nobles in the palace have always made a fool of themselves, but they can't laugh at themselves.

"Are you done laughing?"

Looking at the master's expression, it seemed to be the same as usual. Bixi quickly stood up and lowered his head and said, "I'm done laughing."

"It's time to punish you after laughing. Dare to laugh at your master, you conscienceless girl!"

"I dare not do it again next time! Princess, this time..." Bixi knelt down, squeezed out a bag of tears pitifully, and pulled her sleeve with tears in tears, "Gave me! Princess, I won't dare next time! I swear that I will never laugh at the princess again. If I disobey, the sky will thunder. With that, he raised two fingers and pointed to the beam and swore.

I got you, and I'm still good, this girl! Su Siman held his forehead and couldn't laugh or cry. The girl under her was spoiled, which was amazing. So he pretended to be deep and said, "Bixi, do you know what taboo you have made?"

"Ah?!" The tourmaline's mouth opened into an O-shaped shape and looked at Su Siman eagerly. His face, which had just turned a little red, turned white in an instant.

"Oh, forget it, get up!" Su Siman has a weakness. As soon as he sees the beautiful girl's tears, he is soft-hearted and can't say harsh words. While secretly complaining about his soft heart, he said with a pleasant face, "Get up, it doesn't matter if you laugh at me or I laugh at you in private. It's not good to let outsiders see it. In addition, in the future, you can also call me the crown princess like Xiang'er in front of others. In private, you like to call me princess or crown princess, it's up to you. In a word, we can't let people hold anything, you know?"

"I know. I'm used to calling the princess, and I can't change my words for a while. Tomorrow, no, from now on, the maidservant will change her words, prince...prince concubine."

Su Siman sighed secretly, "In private, you can call it whatever you like."

"The maidservant knows that our princess is the most kind-hearted. Let's forgive the maidservant this time." Bixi quickly looked at Su Siman again, and two bursts of tears so that even a heart of iron and stone could turn into water.

Su Siman quickly turned around and didn't look at her. It's a pity that this girl didn't act. Touching his chin, he squeaked his lips and took a full posture. "Punishment is inevitable. Who told you to laugh at me? I'm a master who will repay. Cough," cleared her throat and continued, "The wrong maid Bixi listens to the truth. The following is my punishment for you: punish me for teaching me to make a light."

"Is that it?!" Tourmaline looked up at his master in disbelief.

"What, do you think it's too light?" Su Siman held back his smile and looked serious.

Bixi hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no! This punishment is just right, just right!"

"Then we will start now. What materials do you need to prepare?

"I'll prepare. The princess will take a break." With that, the tourmaline got up happily and was busy.

To put it bluntly, this method of lighting is a little similar to the lanterns in her previous space, but there are more colors and styles. Tourmaline is obviously a good hand at making burning lamps, and the slender bamboo strips have turned into various exquisite shapes in her hand. During the demonstration, the tourmaline made a butterfly lamp shape. Before pasting the paper, the outline had come out, and it was actually in the shape of a butterfly on all sides. After that, the pre-drawing colored paper was glued to the bamboo strips with rice soup and put them aside to dry. Then light the candles inside, and the effect will soon appear, and the candlelight will become extremely beautiful and realistic through the colorful thin paper. Su Siman was amazed and appreciated it very much.

I sincerely praised: "Bixi, you have done a great job!"

The tourmaline only smiled and squeezed the corners of his clothes shyly, which was quite shy.

"This is just the most basic. Now let's teach the princess how to do it."

"Good!" Su Siman was a little eager to try. He held a slender and smooth bamboo in his hand. It felt quite good. The tourmaline was really thick and thin, and the bamboo strips he picked were all ground.

"Princess, don't worry, take your time and be careful not to be cut off by bamboo. I chose bamboo with excellent flexibility and is not easy to break. First, circle a ring, um, yes, that's it. The princess folded beautifully. Then..." Bixi began to teach patiently hand in hand.

With the help of the skilled teacher Bixi, the pyramid-burning lamp in Su Siman's hand has become a prototype, which took a lot of effort to make. Because the edges and corners of the pyramid are to be made, while the bamboo is flexible. Once it is broken, its firmness will be greatly reduced. In fact, those edges and corners are made into triangles by tourmaline in proportion, and then glued to the outline of bamboo. At a glance, there are edges and corners on the pasted red paper, which is very realistic. When lighting candles, considering the reason of ventilation, the made lamp becomes an inverted pyramid lamp, and the largest triangle is uncapped. Su Siman made three beautiful bows on the three vertices with red silk, and then tied them with silk thread and hung them on the bamboo pole. When she lit a candle to see the effect, she was really beautiful and happy, which made her feel a sense of accomplishment and very proud of her creativity.

"How's it going, tourmaline? Does my light look good?" Su Siman picked up the bamboo pole and looked at her "fruits of labor (in fact, most of them were made by tourmaline, and she pointed out)"

"Good...good..."

The blue is sly, obviously insincere.

Su Siman also heard it, and his eyes shifted from his masterpiece, stayed on Bixi's face for less than a second, and withdrew his eyes. Well, how did the tourmaline know that I used to be the pyramid of one of the eight wonders of the world? She couldn't see the uniqueness of the pyramid lighting. I have a large number of adults, and I don't care about her disappreciation. Thinking of this, Su Siman smiled and didn't say anything.

At this time, the tourmaline squeaked: "Princess, do you want to participate in the light-burning competition?" The tone was very careful, as if he was afraid that he would ask the wrong question.
