374 Make a Revolving Lantern
With such a light and skilled appearance, it seems that he often does this.
Seeing that everyone looked at him in surprise, Xu Chengze said a little embarrassedly: "In the past, I used to make a lantern to play with during the New Year's Eve."
Everyone believed it. Only the side road was full of disbelief.
This is obviously the craft you learned after going to the shop for a few days, Master, how good is it?
In previous years, which year did you go to the lantern festival? Didn't you hold a book at home on the New Year's Day that year, and read it attentively? At that time, I wanted to see the lanterns on Xiaolu, but you wouldn't let me go!
Xiaolu felt a little uncomfortable, what's wrong with the young master, why did you start to learn to lie!
Gu Xiaoyi let out a wow in surprise. Seeing that Xu Chengze liked her so much, he gave it to Gu Xiaoyi first.
"Xiaowan, wait, I'll make another one for you." Seeing that Gu Xiaoyi liked it so much, Xu Chengze looked at Gu Xiaowan and said with a smile.
Gu Xiaowan nodded, also looking forward to it.
"What's so good about ordinary dragon lanterns, Xiaowan, I'll make you a unique one!" Qin Yezhi said coldly upon seeing this.
Xu Chengze glanced at Qin Yezhi, Qin Yezhi also looked at him, the two didn't speak to each other, but quickly picked up the material in their hands, and it was done.
Seeing the way the two of them were competing, Gu Xiaowan smiled, just pretending that the two children were not convinced by each other and wanted to compete.
Gu Xiaowan felt itchy when she saw them do it. She wanted to make a revolving lantern, which her grandfather taught her before.
Just do it. Gu Xiaowan took a piece of red paper, first cut the red paper into a square and a circle. The square was used as a cylinder, and the round was used as a wind wheel. A small hole was drilled in the center of the wind wheel, so that it would be convenient to install the lamp socket. Cut out eight small windows and doors in the same direction in the center of the circular paper, and glue it to the cylinder after finishing.
Gu Xiaowan called Xiaoyi and asked her to cut out some eight paper-cuts such as Guanyin sending children, fairy aunts wishing birthdays, gold and jade full halls, and champions. Seeing Xiaoyi embroidered lifelike, Gu Xiaowan even praised Xiaoyi's talent.
Next, Gu Xiaowan made an eight-sided round lantern stand with bamboo strips, and polished the pattern that Xiaoyi had cut just now with a knife to create a hollowed-out effect, and then pasted it on to make a beautiful cover. Finally, put various colored embroidery threads on the wind wheel, leaving a half-foot-long shape behind as a tassel, and finally, put a small arm-thick red candle in the base of the lantern.
Gu Xiaoyi had already watched with great curiosity. Xu Chengze and Qin Yezhi also made a lamp respectively. Qin Yezhi's lamp is indeed better than Xu Chengze's, but when he saw the one made by Gu Xiaowan, he immediately looked at the one in his hand and followed the one in Gu Xiaowan's hand. But it's a little tricky.
They all came over and watched Gu Xiaowan make lanterns.
Gu Xiaowan lit the red candle, and after a while, Gu Xiaoyi exclaimed: "Sister, this lantern is moving, look at it, the painting on it seems to be alive."
"Xiao Wan, what kind of lamp is this, this lamp can actually turn!" Xu Chengze also asked in surprise, he had never seen such a lamp before!
Gu Xiaowan put the lampshade on, and immediately, because the silk yarns were all colorful, when they were illuminated by the light, the colorful light folded from the lamp surface, and the eyes of the whole room were attracted and amazed.
Seeing what was even more shocking, Xu Chengze was speechless in surprise.
"Sister, what kind of lamp is this? It's really beautiful!"
"I've seen so many lanterns, but I've never seen this lantern before. It's really more delicate and unique than mine, Xiaowan, what kind of lamp is this?" Qin Yezhi also asked.
He has also seen the world, but this lamp has never been seen before. The lamp can rotate, and the things on the paper-cut that are cut out actually move as if they were alive.
Gu Xiaowan chuckled: "It's called a revolving lantern, and my father taught me before." Anyway, no one knows if Gu Chuanfu will know, even if others do, they can't ask Gu Chuanfu.
Now Gu Xiaowan is a bit blatant, and she will put the credit on Gu Chuanfu when she does anything weird.
Gu Xiaoyi exclaimed: "Dad is amazing, he can make such a beautiful lamp!"
Gu Xiaoyi didn't have Gu Chuanfu and Tian's in his memory. Seeing that his sister said that this lamp was taught by his father, he was naturally worshipped.
Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping were also amazed.
Gu Xiaowan smiled and gave her sloppy eyes: "Our father knows a lot of things. Fortunately, your sister has a good memory and I remember it all. When you grow up, my sister will teach you slowly!"
Gu Xiaowan didn't want to think of those sad past events on this good day, so she quickly pushed the topic aside.
Xu Chengze looked at the lamp in his hand a little embarrassedly, just now he boasted that Haikou wanted to make a beautiful lamp for Xiaowan, but Xiaowan knew how to make the lamp herself, and the lamp she made was even better than her own.
Xu Chengze was a little embarrassed. Seeing Xu Chengze's appearance, Gu Xiaowan was afraid that she would make Xu Chengze embarrassed.
Just as he was about to say a few words, he heard Xu Chengze excitedly say: "Xiao Wan, please teach me how to do it. This lamp is so beautiful, let's make one each, until tomorrow, there will be no one on the street. The lights look better than ours."
Even Gu Ning'an, who has always been steady, was a little excited and hummed. I want to learn together.
Gu Xiaowan couldn't, so she could only do it again. Xu Chengze and the others learned things very quickly. After reading it once, they would do it immediately. Not to be outdone, Qin Yezhi also made another one.
However, I felt sorry for Gu Xiaoyi, and cut seven or eight lanterns in a row.
Then I could barely hold the scissors.
When almost all the lanterns were ready, Xu Chengze put all the lanterns in the carriage and invited Gu Xiaowan to go early tomorrow to go to Xu's house for the Shangyuan Festival.
Gu Xiao politely refused. She was still not used to going to other people's houses for festivals. Although Mr. Xu and his wife were very good to them, they were not family members.
Seeing Gu Xiaowan's refusal, Xu Chengze didn't insist any longer, and said, "Then come over early tomorrow, I'll wait for you."
Then he glanced at Gu Xiaowan meaningfully, Gu Xiaowan waved his hand and sent Xu Chengze away.
