In the half month approaching the new year, Ren Baqian can feel the festive atmosphere everywhere in Lancheng,
There are bustling crowds everywhere, and you can always see many ancient people bringing mountain goods into Lancheng to exchange for various supplies. There are even many people sitting on the side of the road near Shihu District and Yiwulu, with a few people in front of them. The things brought out in the mountains include herbs, animal cubs, and even rare treasures occasionally.
Therefore, there are huge crowds of people around there every day, like a market.
Everyone had a smile on their face.
After all, for most people, the New Year is the most important time of the year.
After Ren Baqian heard about the market, he made two special trips to see some strange things in this world.
He even bought some interesting little things in his opinion, such as a piece of cyan stone, in the dark, one can see that there are small dots emitting white light on it, like stars.
For example, a plant that blooms every other day has a bud at the top that opens on the first day, closes on the second day, and opens again on the third day. It keeps opening and closing like this, which is very interesting.
There is also a kind of animal horn, which is said to be able to travel hundreds of miles after being blown, but people cannot hear it, only certain animals can hear it.
As opposed to the hustle and bustle in Lancheng, the palace is deserted.
A palace gate separates the inside and the outside into two worlds.
The Empress didn't seem to care much about the New Year, what to do in the palace or what to do, and everyone else was doing their own things, without any decorations or preparations.
After all, there has always been only the empress in the palace, no one to talk to, and no one to share with. Therefore, for the empress, such a festival has no other meaning except for the word "New Year".
But this year there are more people, so it is a little different.
"Your Majesty, why don't you decorate the palace as well?" Seeing the Empress sitting there watching a TV series, Ren Baqian suggested on the sidelines. He passed by Beihong District and saw that the mansions of many high officials in the court were being cleaned and cleaned. Decorate.
It’s a very strange arrangement, many bones are drilled, and then tied with a piece of cloth to hang on the wall. When the wind blows, there will be a whimpering sound of "woo-woo!" and the sound of bones hitting the wall.
The entire Beihong District is full of gusts of wind.
Ren Baqian would shiver every time he passed by in the past two days, feeling that the surrounding air seemed a little colder.
How can this be a festive celebration? It looks like a haunted house. Is this just to scare people? I don't know who is such a genius who came up with such a creative New Year's arrangement.
However, the faces of those people in the mansion were all beaming, which made him look weird.
The empress looked at him with her chin lightly pressed against her finger, and then said in a nonchalant way: "Do whatever you want."
Ren Baqian greeted the empress, and then returned to Earth. When he came back, he brought two big bags, which were full of colored LED light strips and bells.
Now that he has more than 600 jin of strength, he can carry many more things at one time, which is several times as much as before, and he doesn't have to be so restrained every time he carries things.
First, in the palace, some wooden shelves were made to stand on both sides of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
He called Qingyuan and Hongluan to get busy in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, connected the colored lights in the air, and then hung up the bells.
Although the work is not complicated, it needs to run on both sides. Two of the three people are standing on the shelf, Ren Baqian is carrying a roll of light belt and running back and forth between the two shelves, and handing one end of the light belt to one person to wind on the shelf, and then pulled over to the other side.
The Empress was playing the TV series, but she didn't have much interest in watching it. From time to time, she turned her head to look at the bustling three people who were busy at the bottom of the steps, feeling a little dazed.
It seems that it has not been lively for a long time.
Or it was never lively.
The Hall of Mental Cultivation has always been so deserted, even when my father was here when I was young.
Even she thought that was the way it should be.
Therefore, Ren Baqian's busyness made her feel novel, interesting and warm at the same time.
The Empress herself didn't notice the smile on her face at some point.
It took half a day to connect the light strips. When Ren Baqian plugged in the power, the color of the entire Hall of Mental Cultivation began to change. From entering the door, both sides and the top were covered with light strips, emitting colorful light, and the light was like In flow in general.
This kind of light belt only weighs 18 and a half catties for 100 meters, and Ren Baqian brought a total of 2,000 meters, making the entire Hall of Mental Cultivation colorful.
Qingyuan and Hongluan didn't know what the two of them were doing at first, but they almost screamed out after seeing this scene. At this moment, the Hall of Mental Cultivation is still a little deserted, and it is full of fascinating colorful colors .
Even the empress had a look of surprise on her face, she didn't expect that it would be so beautiful after finishing it, which made people dazzled.
Not only that, but Ren Baqian also had someone cut down two trees, put the trees not far from the empress' bed, and wrapped the lamp belt around the trees.
"Your Majesty, this is the palace that belongs to you." Ren Baqian wiped the sweat off his brow, he had been running back and forth just now, and he was also very tired carrying such a heavy light belt.
But looking at the colorful colors in the Hall of Mental Cultivation at this time, it is like a palace in a fairy tale, and I am very satisfied.
The Empress's face was filled with surprise, and her heart was filled with tenderness. She didn't know what to say for a while.
It took a long time before he said softly: "It's very beautiful, I like it very much!"
When Ren Baqian heard the empress' soft voice, his heart was also soft.
It was probably the most romantic thing he had ever done in his life.
"But the battery pack is probably not enough, I brought back another set of batteries, and the previous four sets of batteries can only be used for five hours." Ren Baqian felt a little regretful.
It's a pity that such a beautiful scenery can't be lit all the time.
He didn't bring too many battery packs with him before, but he used his laptop to watch TV shows, desk lamps, and charge the walkie-talkie. He prepared a total of four sets of batteries, and this time he brought only five sets.
It seems that next time I have to bring back a battery with a larger storage capacity.
Then Ren Baqian and Qingyuan Hongluan hung countless silver bells on the light belt, the breeze blew past, and the entire Hall of Mental Cultivation was filled with the melodious sound of bells.
This sound is much better than the bone whistle sound like howling ghosts and wolves above those mansions in Beihong District.
Then, the empress almost fell asleep after listening to the silver bell for the whole night.
It was too loud.
I don't feel it during the day, but it shows up in the dead of night at night.
But the empress still didn't let the silver bell be taken off, and the next day it was as if nothing had happened.
However, Qingyuan and Hongluan were deeply affected by it. On the second day, Qingyuan got dark circles around her eyes, and on the third day, Hongluan got dark circles around her eyes.
