Chapter 1016, Raise the Red Lantern

  The settlement of the family did not affect the New Year's atmosphere in the Weiyuan Palace.

On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, the servants of the palace began to display their lanterns and festoons. Daozi and Xiao Morong went back to the main courtyard after practicing their fists and knuckles. They saw someone hanging red lanterns and looked curiously.

  Looking at the red lanterns hung under the eaves, Daozi was intrigued and said to the people: "Give me the lantern, and I will try it too."

  People don’t dare to give the lanterns to Daozi: “Little prince, hanging lanterns is very dangerous. Minions dare not let you risk it.” If the little prince has something, they can’t afford it even with ten brains.

   Daozi looked upset: "You lie to me, I just saw you hang up, it's obviously very simple."

  The next person replied with a wry smile: "Little Prince, you look simple, that's because the minion is doing this job and is already proficient, but you are still young, if you don't stabilize the ladder, you will fall off."

   Daozi was most unhappy when others said that he was young, and when he saw that he was not listening to him, he was very angry: "You wait for me, and I will tell my mother to go and say you don't listen to me."

  Speaking, he took Xiao Mofeng to the main courtyard.

  On the way, Xiao Mofeng saw that Daozi’s mouth was pouting high, and he smiled and said, "Those who had just been laid off were just for your own good. Don't say you are so young. It's me. It's not allowed to do these dangerous things at home."

   Daozi frowned, her face still full of unhappiness: "But I just want to try it."

  While talking, the main courtyard is here.

Daozi ran into the house quickly, saw Daohua sitting on the bedside, reading the gift list, trot to her side, grievingly said: "Mother, the servants in the house don't listen to my little prince. "

   Daohua looked away from the gift list, fell on Daozi, and asked calmly: "What do you want to do again?"

   The servants in the mansion dare not treat their son slowly, unless the son has to do something ‘bad’.

   Daozi pouted: "Mother, I want to hang a red lantern, but they won't let it."

   Daohua looked at Daozi: "Then why do you think they don't let you hang up?"

   Daozi hummed: "They said it is dangerous to hang lanterns, but I clearly watched the process of hanging them. It's very simple." As he said, she shook Daohua's arm.

   "Mother, I want to try."

  Inahua knows that the curiosity of a child cannot be suppressed blindly. Otherwise, the more you stop him from doing it, the more he will have to do it.

  Thinking about it, Daohua said, “The eaves of our house are a lot taller than you. If you fall from the top, it will hurt. So, do you want to try it?”

Daozi hesitated, then nodded affirmatively: "I want to hang a lantern for my mother, and I also want to hang it for my ancestors, grandmother, and grandfather Chu."

   Daohua smiled and rubbed Daozi’s head: "Okay, mother promised you, but you have to wait for your father to come back."

   Xiao Mofeng was a little surprised to see that his aunt had actually agreed to the younger brother’s request.

  He still remembers that when he was seven or eight years old, the emperor's grandfather gave a few palace lanterns to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. At that time, he also wanted to hang them up for his father and mother and his concubine himself. Unfortunately, the concubine rejected them severely.

  He knew that his mother and concubine was for his good, but he was still a little regretful in his heart.

  Because for his own good, since childhood, he could not do many things, and he didn’t even know the reasons for some of them.

   Seeing her aunt talking to the younger brother in a low voice, Xiao Mofeng suddenly felt a little envious in his heart.

  Mother and concubine are very busy and rarely accompany him like aunt accompanies Daozi.

   Daozi was a little anxious, and with Daohua's permission, he couldn't sit still, and kept asking his father when he would come back so he could hang the lantern.

   Daohua took out the story book to him and asked him to be quiet. When he raised his eyes, he noticed that Xiao Mofeng looked a little lonely, and walked over with a smile: "But homesick?"

  Xiao Mofeng returned to his senses, raised his eyes and fell into a pair of concerned eyes: "Auntie, I don't have one."

   Daohua smiled, and took Xiao Mofeng to sit down: "I am not ashamed of being homesick, and I am afraid that my aunt will laugh at you? If I were you, I would also be homesick."

  Xiao Mofeng looked embarrassed.

   Daohua laughed: "When your Uncle Wang comes back, let him take you and Daozi to hang lanterns. It's boring in winter, so you also have activities."

   Seeing Daozi's gaze, Xiao Mofeng smiled and nodded: "Okay."

  As the New Year's Eve is approaching, there is not much to do in the yamen. Xiao Yeyang came back relatively early. When he came back, he was hugged by rice.

   "Father, mother asked you to take my fourth brother and me to hang lanterns."

  Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua, Daohua smiled and explained to him: "The little guy is curious, if you don't satisfy him, I am afraid that you will always think about it, you have the right to accompany them to relieve their boredom."

  Xiao Yeyang looked at Daozi: "I can take you to hang lanterns, but we have three chapters. For more dangerous things like this, you are not allowed to try privately. You must get permission from an adult, you know?"

  Dao Zi nodded busy.

  Xiao Yeyang went back to the house and changed into a normal suit, and then brought rice and Xiao Mofeng to hang lanterns all over the house.

  Don’t look at Daoziren, because he was well raised and he was as tall as Xiao Mobao, who was six years old. He had strong bones. He practiced with Chu Lang for a period of time. When he climbed the ladder, he had a firm footing and strong hands on the escalator.

  He hung up the lantern in the main courtyard personally, and his curiosity was satisfied, and Daozi was not too happy.

  "Four brothers, let’s go, let’s hang red lanterns in our ancestor’s yard."

   and so on filled the courtyard of Gu Jian with red lanterns, and the two moved to the courtyard of Guo Ruomei and Chu Lang.

  After half a day, looking at the red lanterns hanging high in the yard, Daozi and Xiao Mofeng both reaped a sense of accomplishment.

  In the twinkling of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve. Early in the morning, Xiao Mofeng followed Xiao Yeyang's family of three to Nanshan Hall to pay Gu Jian New Year’s greetings.

   got the red envelopes from the elders, and Daozi and Xiao Mofeng were very happy in their hearts.

  "Four brother, you have to put away your red envelopes. These are your wife's books."

   Listening to Daozi’s words, Xiao Mofeng's expression was a little embarrassing. He knew what his wife meant, but didn't these things prepared by the father and the mother?

  Also, Daozi is only four years old. Isn’t it too early to think about this kind of thing at such a young age?

  Daozi has packed the red into her pocket quickly, and she is still muttering: "The more the wife has saved, the more choices will be made."

  Xiao Mofeng laughed: "Are you still afraid that Uncle Wang and Auntie don't care about you?"

  Taozi thought for a moment: "Theirs are theirs. If I use theirs, should I choose what I like or what they like? So, it's better to save it myself."

  Xiao Mofeng was taken aback, and then asked after a while: "Why do you think this way?"

Daozi shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands, with a sad look on her face: "My mother said it." After saying that, he straightened up, learning the way Daohua taught him, and pointed towards Xiao Lanhua: "Eat mine, drink mine, you have to listen to me."

  Xiao Mofeng looked at Daozi in amazement, and gave him a thumbs up: "I'm pretty similar in learning."

   Daozi quizzically picked: "No, I'm my mother's son."
