Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 173 Red Lantern

"Hmph... hmph..., alright, alright! Just admit that I was wrong! Really, you were clearly talking about the eldest brother, why did you bring it up to me now! Really!" Seeing that things were not going well, the third sister quickly changed the subject and used the eldest sister as a shield.

Who knew that my mother's nagging would start the life-calling mode, and she really didn't miss a single one:

"Ah! You guys! Except for the second oldest, none of you give me peace of mind. You all say that the eldest has high standards, but there are so many talented young men in the imperial capital Changluo City! There are also many outstanding people! If she takes a fancy to someone and brings him to your grandparents for screening, I will not agree!"

"Third brother, you have always been self-willed and self-willed since you were young. You have always been against me because of your petty mind! You even said you wanted to be the second Chu Caishen! But the money you have earned in the past few years is not as much as your younger brother has earned in a few months!"

"I've been worried sick about Yun'er since he was born. I'm afraid he'll die if I neglect him!"

"As for the fourth child, not to mention other things, she gave me a false warning when she was born, and almost cost me my life!"

"None of you let me save money. Oh! No more talking! Why are you talking about this on New Year's Day? Let's just make dumplings quickly!"

"Mom... stop talking about this!"

"That's right! It was you who started complaining first! And you even blame others! Really!"

"Okay! Third sister, just say less!"

Liu Feiyun stood outside the door, holding his little niece, watching his little sister happily making a snowman, but he smiled bitterly in his heart: it turned out that his family, although wealthy and peaceful in the eyes of ordinary families, was not much different from them inside, still full of gossip and bumps.

However, he soon thought of his elder sister who was far away in Changluo avoiding her mother's forced marriage, the older leftover woman from another world!

By the way, my elder sister, after the Chinese New Year, will only be 24 years old! She is not too old! I wonder if she is doing well?

As he thought about it, Liu Feiyun couldn't help but become a little distracted!

"Brother! What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Come and help me!" Liu Xiyao's shout woke Liu Feiyun up. She saw that her little face was flushed and she had already made a dozen snowmen as tall as her, neatly lined up in a small square in front of the courtyard gate.

Liu Feiyun laughed and was about to answer, but he saw a man leaning out of the gate and making an OK gesture to Liu Feiyun.

"Hey! Brother Shihu! What are you doing here?" Liu Xiyao turned around and saw Liu Shihu at the courtyard gate and asked puzzledly.

"Ah! Young lady! The young master asked me to prepare some nice things for you! I'll show them to you later! Okay!" Liu Shihu hurriedly offered his services.

Liu Xiyao thought about it and asked, "Beautiful!? Are they lanterns? But today is not the Lantern Festival, the day for lanterns! Brother Shihu is just teasing me! I will never talk to you again!"

"Uh!" Liu Shihu was speechless for a moment!

"Xiyao, your brother Shihu didn't lie to you! I prepared some fun things for you. Stop making snowmen and go call your parents, second sister, and third sister out! Let's watch something fun together!"

Liu Feiyun smiled while hugging his little niece.

"Really? That's great! I'll go call them right away!" Liu Xiyao threw down the snow shovel in her hand and excitedly ran into the house to call people.

Liu Shihao and his family stood outside the courtyard gate, all looking at Liu Shihu, while Liu Shihu looked at Liu Feiyun. Liu Feiyun nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Let's start!"

Everyone first looked at Liu Shihu suspiciously, then looked at Liu Feiyun, and finally looked at Liu Shihu.

Liu Shihu opened a bag he brought with him, and inside were three small red lanterns. They were small lanterns, but they were not too small, about the size of a small wine jar. Soon, one of the lanterns was lit.

Liu Xiyao was immediately disappointed and muttered, "Brother lied to me too! This is just a red lantern! How boring!"

Everyone looked at him without any doubt.

Liu Feiyun smiled mysteriously and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Something interesting is going to happen soon! Don't blink!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stared at Liu Shihu again, and even the iron guards on duty nearby couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

I saw Liu Shihu lighting three lanterns one by one, and then I don’t know what he did to the lanterns. After waiting for a while, I saw the three lanterns slowly rising up one by one!

"Floating in the air!" Liu Shihao was stunned, and the others were even more incredulous.

"Wow! This lantern is so fun! Brother! You have to make a few more Taihangs for me later!" Liu Xiyao said with a happy smile.

"Little sister, you are so gullible! Although this flying lantern is fun, it is not beautiful at all! You were still fooled by your brother! Little fool!" Liu Xinxin came back to her senses and laughed!

Liu Xiyao smiled and said, "This red lantern flying in the sky is indeed much better than looking at it on the ground! Brother didn't lie to me!"

"Huh!? Little fool!" Liu Xinxin was speechless.

"Xiyao! Watch out! This is just the beginning!" Liu Feiyun didn't pay attention to the hidden meaning in the third sister's words: Who told me to compare myself with her just now! This third sister is a little narrow-minded!

"Really? Then Xiyao must open her eyes wide and watch carefully!"

Not long after Liu Shihu released the three red lanterns, three more red lanterns rose up on a small hill over a hundred feet away!

"Ah! Three more came out... Hey... there are three more... Wow! The fourth group... the fifth group!... the sixth group... the seventh group... the eighth group... the ninth group! A total of nine groups of flying red lanterns!" As Liu Xiyao shouted happily, groups of red lanterns rose up in order, like a beacon fire, and spread towards the highest mountain next to the Earl's Mansion.

"Well... beacon fires can transmit information quickly! It is indeed much more convenient and faster than beacon fires! But the lanterns are too small, and the transmission distance is too short. They are also easily affected by the wind and cannot be used in actual combat!" Liu Shihao murmured.

Liu Xiyao seemed to have guessed something and shouted happily, "Brother! I understand! You must have aimed at a big lantern on Wangwang Peak! Right! How big is that lantern? Is it as big as a water tank? If it's too small, I'm afraid I can't see it!"

Liu Feiyun shook his head and laughed, "Haha! I can't make a flying lantern as big as a water tank now! But! Brother, I can summon a meteor! Xiyao, a meteor! You must have seen one! You must have heard of the legend of the meteor!"

"Shooting star? Of course I've seen it! Legend? Of course I've heard it! Isn't it that making a wish to a shooting star will make it come true? What? Could it be that my brother is a god who came down from heaven and can summon shooting stars?"
