I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 635 The Unique Fish Lamp

Xia Ying couldn't laugh or cry.

"Is she really smoking?"

"Of course. Miss, after learning about what happened to you in Gu's Village, she immediately went into a rage and went directly to Aunt Zi Yan's room and dragged my uncle out. She still dragged him to the master and asked him to do it to you." The matter was explained in detail, and then the master spoke and asked someone to hold the uncle down and draw him twenty strokes with addition." Lihua confessed honestly.

Xia Ying helped her forehead.

"It seems that Master Ye really gave up on this son."

In order to appease his daughter-in-law's anger, he chose to hit his own son hard without hesitation!
The heart and skills of the richest man in the provincial capital are really beyond the reach of ordinary people!
Of course, the prerequisite is that Mr. Ye has enough sons!Abandon this one and have the next one!

Lihua sent glutinous rice balls, and after finishing what she had to say, she calmly left.

On the other hand, Xia Ying couldn't help but grope what Li Hua said for a while, and then she looked at the white glutinous rice balls, and she sighed softly: "It's so fast, it's another year in a blink of an eye, tomorrow will be It's Lantern Festival again."

The Lantern Festival last year was really impressive!

Moreover, the events of that day seemed to her like yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, tomorrow is already the next Lantern Festival!
Gu Tuo was also filled with emotion. "Everyone in the province should be afraid of celebrating the Lantern Festival now, right? The first month of last year...is too unbearable to look back on."

Xia Ying pursed her lips. "Then this time, shall we still go out to watch the lanterns?"

Gu Tuo shook his head immediately. "Let's forget it! Because of the plague last year, our Jiangbian Province had a serious financial shortfall. Last year, Mao Zhifu tried his best to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. It was so easy to fool the whole year. In the past. This year, in fact, the entire province has not recovered, so this year’s Lantern Festival will not be too grand. Everyone also remembers the lessons of last year, and not many people will come out to watch the lanterns.”

"Alright then! Actually, I'm lazy now, and I don't really want to go out for a walk." Xia Ying yawned.

"Then you just stay at home honestly! I'll make you whatever kind of lantern you want to see." Gu Tuo said.

Xia Ying's eyes flashed. "Can you do it? Have you done it before?"

"No. But didn't you see a lot last year? I roughly observed the structure, it's very simple, I can do it." Gu Tuo said bluntly.

But he does have the ability to say that, the things he made before have already proved his ability!
Xia Ying is not polite either. "I want a fish lamp! The kind with movable head and tail!"

"No problem." Gu Tuo nodded, "I'll do it now, and I'll make sure you watch it tomorrow night."

"That's good! If you can't bring it to me on time tomorrow night, you can go and sleep with Brother Hao!" Xia Ying said.

Gu Tuo's face twitched immediately. "I'll make it on time!"

How much does he dislike sleeping with his son?
But right away, Xiaoqi and Sister Fu heard their conversation, and Sister Fu hurriedly said: "Father, Father, I want it too! I want a butterfly lamp!"

"I also want a gourd lamp." Xiao Qi whispered.

"Okay, I'll let Zhou Wang and the others do it for you." Gu Tuo agreed without hesitation.

He looked at the two female dolls with gentle eyes.

The two little girls suddenly smiled and narrowed their eyes.

Gu Tuo also smiled slightly, and after explaining a few words to Xia Ying, he hurried out to work.

Xia Ying helped her forehead again. "This guy is really eccentric!"

It's also thanks to Gu Yuanhao's big-hearted mind since he was a child.Seeing that his father and his apprentices started planing wood in the backyard, he was bored after practicing kung fu with his master, and even ran over to join in the fun, helping transport wood and doing some simple miscellaneous work.On a still cold day, he was so hot that he was sweating profusely, and his little dark face was full of bright smiles.

Seeing his lively figure, the senior brothers couldn't help talking and laughing with him, the atmosphere was very happy.

Flash forward to the evening of the next day, at dinner time, Gu Tuo came over with a fish lantern.

"For you!"

With a straight face, the man pretended to be calm, and handed the freshly baked fish lantern to Xia Ying with one hand.

Xia Ying's eyes suddenly brightened!
I saw that this fish lantern was not exactly the same as the one she saw on the street last year.Ordinary lanterns on the market are mostly made of bamboo, because bamboo is cheap, light and easy to fold into various shapes.Weave pieces of bamboo together to form a skeleton, then paste a layer of paper on the outside, and put a piece of candle or lamp oil inside, that is a shaped lantern.

But the one that Gu Tuo is making now is assembled with wood!
At first glance, this fish lantern is indeed a vivid fish.It's just that the fish body is all assembled with solid wood, but it's not too heavy to hold in the hand. It turns out that Gu Tuo thinned the wood, and the thickness is slightly thicker than the bamboo slices.Moreover, the candle inside had already been lit, and the bean-sized candle was fluttering with the wind, but it was not blown out even though it was not covered by a layer of paper clothes.

He perfectly combined ornamental and practical, and made such a fishbone lamp, which is unique in the world!
Even, Xia Ying held the fish lamp in her hand and fiddled with it a few times, and saw the head and tail of the fish began to swing flexibly from side to side, as if a live fish was swimming in the water, with extraordinary strength!
"Wow!"

Xia Ying gasped in surprise. "You really did it! And the finished product is even better than I imagined!"

"That's needless to say? I said earlier that I can definitely make it." Gu Tuo still had such a calm expression on his face.

Xia Ying nodded happily. "Yes, Mr. Xiang, you are amazing! I really like this lantern!"

Seeing that she was as happy as a child, a smile of joy appeared on Gu Tuo's face.

Afterwards, Xiao Qi and Fu Jieer also came in with their own favorite lanterns.Even Gu Yuanhao had one in his hand!

Naturally, their lanterns also have their own characteristics, but they are not as good as Xia Ying's in terms of workmanship or creativity.

Xia Ying understood at a glance.

"Only this one of mine was made by you yourself, the others are all apprentice's crafts, right?" she asked Gu Tuo.

Gu Tuo nodded. "I only have one pair of hands. To be able to make such a lamp is already the result of a day and a night of sleepless nights. The time is so fast, I can't make more. But I also gave suggestions for these lanterns. The final product is barely passable."

"By the way, I also asked someone to make two more lamps, one of which is a lion lamp and the other is a cat lamp. You can give them away!"

Of course, the recipients of this gift are Guan Shi and Miss Zhifu.

Xia Ying suddenly became more and more happy.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiang! You are so kind!"
