The master who made the lamp was very excited when he thought of this, and his face was flushed: "Then let's prepare the wood and oil paper first..."
After talking about the things, the village chief arranged for the master to go down and rest. Then he arranged for people to prepare the things that the young master had prepared just now.
The next day, Fang Xiaoxi went out to find Tong Ruyu. Tong Ruyu had a good life this year, and he had heard about the Lantern Festival. How could he miss such an event? So he must have been preparing for it long ago, and he had a lot of people under him.
Fang Xiaoxi came over just in time for him to arrange the staff. Looking at Fang Xiaoxi: "Why is Xiaoxi here at this time?"
Speaking of which, Fang Xiaoxi is his sister's sister. Well, they are family after all, so naturally he won't be polite.
Fang Xiaoxi did not hide anything and directly explained her purpose: "I am here to ask Brother Tong for help. I want to borrow two skilled carpenters from Brother Tong because I need the help of carpenters to make lamps!"
After explaining the purpose of the visit, Tong Ruyu also knew what was going on. He smiled and said, "No problem, let's go, I'll take you to the store to find a good master, and take any one you like."
This master is not just that powerful, Fang Xiaoxi has to see for herself. Fang Xiaoxi didn't want to take him, Tong Ruyu was so enthusiastic, so she didn't refuse: "Thank you, Brother Tong."
The two of them went into the store together, and Tong Ruyu started to introduce: "Let's go, all their works are here, take a look at what kind of master you need, and take that master with you."
Tong Ruyu had already brought the craftsman who made the lamps she needed to the mansion. Although she had to help her relatives, her own family was the most important after all.
Fang Xiaoxi was not polite either, mainly because Tong Ruyu was too generous. If she were polite, it would seem a bit fake.
After walking around the shop, I actually saw a carpenter who was good at carving. “Is the carpenter of this work here now?”
Tong Ruyu nodded: "Yes. Let's go, I'll go get someone for you."
Soon the master was called over: "Ironworker, this is Miss Fang from Fangjia Village. Please go to Fangjia Village and help make some lamps. I will triple your wages for this period of time."
Fang Xiaoxi quickly said, "We will pay Master Tie for the work. Don't worry, Master Tie, as long as it's done, we'll give you five taels of silver. We won't treat you unfairly."
Five taels of silver, it's really a big deal. Tong Ruyu was a little surprised: "Sister Xiaoxi is so generous, it seems that she is very confident this time."
Fang Xiaoxi chuckled: "That's right, our village has put all its strength into this event! It will definitely be very exciting. By the way, will Brother Tong also participate in the Lantern Festival?"
Tong Ruyu nodded: "Of course I will participate. Apart from anything else, it is also good to gain some fame for my own shop. If I win a prize, people will remember that it was Tong's shop whose lantern won first place!"
This guy is really confident. Fang Xiaoxi laughed and said, "Then I wish Brother Tong can get the first place. I will go back after I find the master. Time is tight and I have to rush back to work! Thank you Brother Tong for this time. Come to my house for dinner when you are free."
Tong Ruyu also smiled: "Okay, I'll go when I have time."
Fang Xiaoxi hurriedly brought the ironworker back to Fangjia Village and saw that the village chief had almost prepared everything: "Xiaoxi, did you invite the people back?"
They were all waiting for me at the entrance of the village, and they were all very excited. Fang Xiaoxi nodded: "I have invited him back. This iron master has very good carving skills. I have seen what he carved. He can definitely make our lanterns."
Hearing this, the village chief felt relieved. So he took the ironworker to find the master who stayed yesterday and started making the lamp.
There are only more than ten days left, and the situation of the Dragon Raising its Head is still very complicated. The village chief looked at Fang Xiaoxi and said, "Xiaoxi, you said last time that you wanted to find someone to write an inscription on the lantern. Have you decided who you are going to find?"
This is really a problem! If your own master is not a judge, you may be able to ask him to write the inscription, but it is obviously not possible.
"I have no idea. If all else fails, let's go find the teacher in the county school. Yes, let's go find a good teacher."
The dean of the county school would also be fine. It shouldn't be difficult to go to the dean with her identity, but what kind of poetry should she mention
There's also something about the Lantern Festival. In fact, if she didn't know that her master was a god who traveled through time, she could use what she remembered. After all, it was a fictional era and there was nothing like it before.
But it's not possible now. If she uses it, she will expose her secret. The master can't write it, but he didn't say that she can't take it out. I'll go find the master and ask him to write it.
Fang Xiaoxi looked at the village chief and said, "Village chief, I will go to my master to write four poems, and then ask the teacher at the county school to help us write them on the lamp."
The village chief had never thought that there would be such an approach. He suddenly felt so relieved. There was a Fang Xiaoxi in his village, who was unmatched by other villages. The first place in this Lantern Festival must be ours. Fang Xiaoxi had already quickly run to the other courtyard.
In the courtyard, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao were still playing chess when they saw Fang Xiaoxi walk in from outside: "Hello, Master. Hello, Grandmaster."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Fang Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, are you here to look for Nannan? Nannan is tinkering with his lamp in the backyard, and he has many servants helping him!"
Fang Xiaoxi shook her head: "No, Master, I came to see you. It's also because of the lantern making matter! We want four poems on the lanterns in our village, so I came to ask for poems."
Qian Jiujiu was stunned. To be honest, she had been a barbarian since the very beginning. Poetry and the like had nothing to do with her.
Mu Yexiao was also amused: "Did you find the wrong person? Your master always convinces people by beating them. When have you ever seen your master write poetry?"
Fang Xiaoxi was stunned. She really didn’t expect that after Qian Jiujiu traveled through time, there were still areas that she had not touched upon
Qian Jiujiu was speechless. Everyone knew her original identity. If she could really write poetry, that would be strange! But it wouldn't be strange if she could write poetry now, after all, her halo was already shining.
If she could write poetry now, everyone would think that it must have been given by the prince. After all, the poems in her mind were among the best poems in China's five thousand years of history, and it was time for them to come out and meet the people of this world.
Fang Xiaoxi didn't know what Qian Jiujiu was thinking, she just sighed: "In that case, will I be unable to get any poems? How about Master, please give me a few poems reluctantly?"
Is the word "reluctant" too much? Mu Yexiao looked at Fang Xiaoxi with a bit of a smile, but Qian Jiujiu suddenly clapped his hands: "Isn't it just a poem? It's nothing. Come, paper and pen, I'll write it for you."
Fang Xiaoxi was instantly overjoyed: "Okay, Master, I'll go prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone now."
Soon the paper was ready, Qian Jiujiu searched a little, and then wrote four poems: "Take it."
Fang Xiaoxi was so happy: "Thank you, Master. With these four songs, our village's lantern will definitely win first place."
Qian Jiujiu raised his eyebrows: "That's not necessarily true, and people may not be able to read."
This is true. Most people are illiterate, so poetry alone is not enough: "Master, I will go back to work now. You and Master can play chess slowly."
Mu Yexiao was actually a little curious: "Which poems did you give me?"
Qian Jiujiu rolled his eyes: "What do you mean by the songs I gave you? Can't I have written them myself?"
Mu Yexiao knows Qian Jiujiu very well: "If you can write prescriptions so quickly, I will believe it. You wrote four poems so quickly, you didn't copy them, I believe you."
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes: "What do you believe in me? I believe in you! Or is it that after so many years, my husband suddenly wants to marry into my family?"
Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu helplessly and said, "Stop being so funny. Which ones are they? I also want to write a few poems as soon as possible to open people's eyes."
Qian Jiujiu didn't keep the secret any longer and spoke directly: "Of course it's the very well-written Qing Yu An. Yuan Xi, I especially like the line "I searched for him among the crowd for a thousand times, and when I turned around, he was there, in the dimming lights." It's so well written."
Mu Yexiao frowned. He knew all the poems that Qian Jiujiu had learned. Last time, when he was watching Qian Jiujiu grow up, he also learned them! Hearing Qian Jiujiu bring up all the poems, he felt a little headache.
"You are going to cause a sensation in the literature of this world. What? Do you still want the title of a talented princess?"
Qian Jiujiu shook his head: "I'm not interested. You're exaggerating. Forget it, let Xiaoxi not tell anyone. If it doesn't work, just say it was written by Xiaoxi."
Mu Yexiao had never seen a master who was so deceiving to his apprentice: "Don't you want to think about the fact that your virtue is not worthy of your position? It's not that I look down on Fang Xiaoxi, but do you think she could write it? Are you trying to put it on her head?"
Uh! This seems to be quite deceptive, Qian Jiujiu said with a smile: "Then just say that you saw it in an ancient book. Ziyuan, go find Xiaoxi and tell her not to tell anyone else that I wrote it."
Although Ziyuan didn't understand why her master didn't want others to know, she still wanted to find Fang Xiaoxi. She soon caught up with Fang Xiaoxi and said, "Miss Xiaoxi, wait a minute. My master has something to say. He wants you to not say that the poem was written by the master. You have to say that it was found in an ancient book."
After reading the poem, Fang Xiaoxi completely understood why Qian Jiujiu said that: "I understand, you can let the master rest assured."
