Chapter 49 (1/2)
This girl!
Miss Jun couldn't contain her laugh as she watched the departing figure of Old Lady Fang
”It's rather pitiful,” she said
No son, but a pack of granddaughters Her daughter-in-laas filial, her household was harmonious, she possessed bountiful wealth, and she was very true to her word But if Old Lady Fang were to hear a fatherless, hter abandoned by everyone lament her as pitiful, she probably wouldn't knohether to laugh or cry
Liu'er nodded with acknowledgement
”Once I thought that I was theabout it, there are many people on this earthto the roo at all”
Liu'er only half-understood
She seriously nodded anyway ”Young Miss speaks true”
Anyways, it was true that what Young Miss says was correct
Miss Jun patted her head
”Was the shadow puppet fun?” she asked ”Were you able to play with it?”
Liu'er nodded her head enthusiastically
”It's very very fun I'll put on a perforrew sad ”But I have never seen a shadow play before, so I don't kno to perform”
”There will be a carnival at the Lantern Festival It will definitely have one, so it should be fine if you go see it,” said Miss Jun
”Can I, can I?” Liu'er asked excitedly
”Of course you may,” Miss Jun said
There were ht now, but letting this little servant girl go see a shadow play was not one of them
Just as Miss Jun was deciding to go to the Lantern Festival, Old Lady Fang was listening to someone else's request
”You want to go see the lanterns?” she asked in surprise of the young man in the wheelchair before her
Fang Chengyu nodded
”I re” His expression was gentle, and he was s not bad, so I want to see it again”
Probably this would be the only time he could
Fang Chengyu very rarely asked for anything
He was five years old when he got sick He had to eat his medicine and be on a strict diet For a child who had a taste of the delicious flavors of the world, how could he bear the lure of good food?
But the people of the fas away, blocked, and cajoled hiyu had been driven crazy by his appetite When he saw a cake that a servant boy was eating that fell on the ground, he actually crawled out of bed and picked it up and ate it When Lady Fang saw it, she had passed out fro She was in bed for three days
Fros He ate what Old Lady Fang and Lady Fang let him eat and did what they would allow him to do
For close to nine years, he had never gone out, let alone leaving to see the lanterns He was completely cutoff from the rest of the world
That was because he did not want his family to worry about hi for his family to be at ease
But he was still hu he likes, not have any desires?
The pressure from his lifespan had stopped him for many years It was probably because he was in his final moments that he wanted to act recklessly
Old Lady Fang could only feel a stinging in her eyes
”All right,” she said i Fae of the lanterns on a street This time, ill do an extra one”
Her voice dropped off here Fang Jinxiu immediately clapped
”Great!” She soerated her enthusiasm, but then frowned ”Did we not have to make more lanterns this year?”
Fang Yunxiu seeyu didn't know
”Every Lantern Festival, the people in our family personally make the lanterns,” she explained with a smile
In the beginning, it was very fun, but at the end they would have to pray for blessings, their wishes
Of course, they could not let Fang Chengyu do these things
Fang Chengyu nodded and laughed
”I know This time, I will try my hand at one,” he said
”Then this ti Yuxiu said suddenly
There were only ten days to the Lantern Festival The other lanterns had already been custom-made Even if they were to decorate another street, it wasn't just that they had to spend money That wasn't important The difficult part was that everybody had to work together and h the materials were all ready, they would have to spend time
