Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 436 Sky Lantern and Wishes

However, after this commotion, the drinking party couldn't be played anymore. Everyone cleared the dishes on their plates and then helped clear the table together.

After the living room was cleaned up, they set up a clean table, bought a few more braziers, brought some melon seeds and peanuts, and prepared to stay together around the braziers.

Seeing that it was still early, Wei Xiao said, "I'll go to the army first and come back later."

Jiang Ci also stood up and said, "I'm going to see the brothers guarding the city. I'll be back later."

After saying that, the two left.

Bai Mingwei had already been there once during the day, so she didn't think about the army at night. She knew Wei Xiao and Jiang Ci were leaving, but she didn't follow them.

Bai Xiuying brought a lot of things from the back room: "These are the sky lanterns we made during the day. The night is long. How about we write messages on the lanterns and then release the sky lanterns into the sky."

"The stars in the sky are bright and the sky lanterns on earth are twinkling. What a wonderful scene. What do you think?"

Liu Yao emerged from nowhere: "Isn't it too cliché to put up sky lanterns?"

Bai Xiuying placed the sky lantern on the table: "This sky lantern is different from the usual ones. It is a wishing lantern. We can write our wishes on the lantern. If there are gods in the sky, they will definitely see it."

Several sisters-in-law were very interested and each picked up a sky lantern and started writing and drawing on it.

Bai Mingwei picked one up and put it in Xiao Chuanyi's hand. Xiao Chuanyi took a pen and walked to the corner to secretly write wishes on it.

Naturally, Mr. Gongsun and Dr. Huang are not that playful. They are similar in age, and they enjoy drinking tea and chatting together.

Liu Yao said he was disgusted, but he honestly picked up the sky lantern.

Bai Xiuying also picked one and secretly wrote a message.

In the end, Bai Mingwei and Feng Qingchen were left.

Bai Mingwei asked: "Feng Qingchen, what do you want?"

Feng Qingchen thought for a while, and finally shook his head: "No, I'm afraid you won't peek after I wrote it, so why don't I tell you directly."

Bai Mingwei ignored him, picked a sky lantern, turned around and started writing on it.

The thin tip of the pen outlines the beautiful hairpin flowers in regular script horizontally and vertically, and they appear vividly on the paper.

After they all finished writing down their wishes, they opened the door and walked into the courtyard.

Xiao Chuanyi's lamp was the first to take off. When others asked him what he had written, he shook his head and refused to say it.

But Bai Mingwei, who lit the lamp for him, saw that it was filled with his longing for his mother, densely packed, just like the stitches his mother had sewn for him before he left with the army.

He clasped his hands together and said silently in his heart: If there really is a god in the sky, please tell your mother that everything is fine.

Ms. Ren did not hide her wishes. When the sky lantern was lifted into the sky, she told everyone: "I hope that after passing through one obstacle after another, our family will usher in stability and happiness, and everyone will always be happy and healthy."

Mrs. Gao lit her sky lantern: "I don't have as big a wish as my second sister-in-law, but I hope that we can return to Beijing smoothly and bury the bodies of our relatives in the ancestral graves."

Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but express her wish without lighting the lamp: "I hope that the unmarried girls in our family can find an unforgettable marriage like us."

Everyone laughed: "You are the only one who is thinking about this, are you afraid that the girls won't be able to get married?"

Mrs. Yang released the sky lantern and watched it rise slowly and gradually fade away, becoming a dot among thousands of stars. Then she said: "I hope that fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law can be safe."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then asked Bai Mingwei: "What did you write?"

Bai Mingwei said softly: "I wrote a poem."

"Crickets are in the hall, and the years are endless. I am not happy now, and the sun and the moon will get rid of it. I have no good health, and I think about my home. If there is happiness, there is no waste, and the good man Qu Qu."

"Crickets are in the hall, and the years are passing by. I am not happy now, and the sun and the moon are getting older. I have no great prosperity, and I think about other things. There is no waste of good happiness, and a good man is in trouble."

"The crickets are in the hall, and the chariots are resting. I am not happy now, and the sun and the moon are dull. There is no great happiness. I think about my worries about my duties. There is no waste in happiness, and a good man rests."

Bai Xiuying tilted her head: "The song "Cricket" is very clear in urging people to be diligent, and it is very suitable for the occasion. I will definitely do what the eldest sister wishes. I will work diligently in the future and never dare to slack off."

Xiao Chuanyi echoed: "Chuanyi will also be diligent and never slack off." Several sister-in-laws showed unexpected expressions. The eldest girl has such a wish, which is in line with the eldest girl's character.

Only Feng Qingchen, who was holding the little white ferret and leaning against the door frame, facing the courtyard, had a complex and unspeakable emotion flashing across his face.

That complexity was mixed with a little bit of loss.

Are you worried about your job?
Think about your job and worry about it.

The little girl always kept her ambition in mind and never forgot it.

When everyone saw Yu Jiao starting to release the lanterns, they gathered around her and wanted to know what her wish was.

Yu Jiao smiled and said nothing, watching the sky lantern getting further and further away.

Everyone clearly saw that there was only the word "peace" on her lamp.

Perhaps only Bai Mingwei in the crowd could understand that what the seventh sister-in-law wanted was for the seventh brother to be safe.

Bai Xiuying didn't wait for others to ask, she wanted everyone to know.

But seeing her holding a lantern, she said with a smile: "I have written all your wishes on it. I have many wishes. I hope that the country will be fine, and that our family will be safe."

Bai Ming smiled and said: "It can all be realized."

Finally, there was Liu Yao. He held a lantern and pondered for a long time, but he wrote nothing.

Bai Xiuying saw that he was struggling to light the lamp, so she wanted to help him, but she saw a line of very small words.

When she read the words, she couldn't help but read them out: "I hope the shrew Bai Mingwei won't hit me again."

There was silence for about a moment, and everyone burst into laughter.

Bai Mingwei couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness, are you casting a shadow?"

Just as Liu Yao was about to smash the sky lantern to pieces, Bai Xiuying stopped him: "Don't break it, otherwise it won't work."

Liu Yao crossed his hands and turned away angrily.

Bai Xiuying lit the sky lantern for him, clasped her hands together, and read loudly: "I hope my eldest sister will never hit His Highness the Ninth Prince again."

Liu Yao was furious: "Little Leopard, what do you mean?"

Bai Xiuying quickly changed her words: "I hope Your Highness will not be beaten by my eldest sister for making mistakes again."

After saying that, she opened one eye to peek at Liu Yao's reaction.

Liu Yao was angry, but he did not make Bai Xiuying unhappy on this day. He just said gloomily: "You are young, and I, the King, have a lot, so I will leave it to you."

Everyone raised their heads and watched the sky lanterns rising into the sky.

A few of them floated up into the night sky and gradually disappeared.

What twinkled in the distance was no longer known to be the stars in the bright galaxy or the sky lanterns they lit.

But everyone raised their heads and watched quietly.

It seems that this sky lantern with beautiful messages has merged into the stars and hung in the distant sky.

Bai Ming looked back slightly and saw Feng Qingchen leaning on the door frame and holding her hands. As soon as she walked over, Feng Qingchen put the warm little white ferret on her shoulders.

No words were spoken, but the warmth was there.

Bai Mingwei said: "The starry sky is cloudless tonight, and the stars are shining brightly."

Feng Qingchen smiled and said: "It must be more beautiful than the long river of stars in my memory."

Bai Ming tilted his head slightly and looked at Feng Qingchen: "Maybe, because the starry sky tonight is more beautiful than what I have seen day and night at Chengtian Temple."
