Quest Description

Ms. Bai from Qingce Village seems to be making some preparations...

(Talk to Ms. Bai): Ms. Bai: How do you do, Traveler? Thanks for your help last time. Qingce Village hasn't been this lively in a while now.; You're most welcome.; Ms. Bai: In previous years, only Zhi and I were around, so we could only make the children a few Xiao Lanterns, talk to the old folks about some domestic business, and whip up a few good dishes...; Ms. Bai: But with your help, we were able to have a lively Lantern Rite this time.; Ms. Bai: But I guess we should look to return to normal now... I should see to the elderly folk in the village. I'm meant to go see Jiangcheng today.; Ms. Bai: If you don't mind, could you come along with us?; Lead the way.; Ms. Bai: Alright. Then let us go to his place first.

(Talk to Jiangcheng): Jiangcheng: Is it you, dear? Are you back?; I'm sorry, you must've mistaken me for someone else...; Jiangcheng: Nonsense, I haven't lost my senses... How could I not recognize my own wife...; Jiangcheng: I was just telling you that, with such a huge festival just around the corner, maybe we should get some new clothes for our daughter...; Jiangcheng: Oh, I see you've brought a guest... A seamstress! Once again, you've read my mind!; Ms. Bai: Grandpa Jiangcheng, it's me, Ms. Bai! I brought you some Tofu the other day, surely you haven't forgotten me already?; Jiangcheng: Ah... Ms. Bai... Of course I remember you, Ms. Bai! Your father was telling me how proud he is for you not so long ago...; Jiangcheng: Eh... When was that? ...Dear, perhaps you remember...; ...I remember.; Of course I do.; Jiangcheng: Ha! Just like I said, there's nothing wrong with my memory... And, and...; Ms. Bai: Grandpa Jiangcheng, why don't you take some rest? No need to strain yourself...; Ms. Bai: Traveler, how about you help Grandpa Jiangcheng clean the house? I'll keep him company in the meantime.; Leave it to me.; Ms. Bai: Thank you.

(Talk to Jiangcheng again): Jiangcheng: It's you, Ms. Bai... Has your father been well?; Ms. Bai: Uh... He... He's doing fine. The mill is still very much in business. The city folk from Liyue Harbor often come to the village just to buy our Tofu.; Jiangcheng: Haha... Sounds about right! Your father's Tofu is the pride of Qingce Village...

(After cleaning the house): Paimon: This house should pass the white glove test now! Let's go check on Ms. Bai and Grandpa Jiangcheng...; Paimon: Uh, let's go back and join them.

(Talk to Jiangcheng): Jiangcheng: Dear, come have a word with Ms. Bai... Her father is such a skilled craftsman...; Jiangcheng: They sell their Tofu in Liyue Harbor, it's top-quality!; Jiangcheng: Right! Ms. Bai, I forgot to ask what brought you here...; We brought you a Xiao Lantern.; Jiangcheng: Xiao Lantern... Ah... So considerate. You bring me those each year, Ms. Bai...; Jiangcheng: Do you remember, Dear? I used to make great Xiao Lanterns back in the day. Our neighbors liked them so much that they asked me to make some for them, too.; Jiangcheng: Xiao Lanterns are so beautiful, they really light up each Lantern Rite... Wait, I'll hang it for you...; Let me hang it up.; Jiangcheng: Alright, just be careful. Don't hurt yourself...

(Talk to Jiangcheng again): Jiangcheng: Xiao Lanterns... Xiao Lanterns... Such a wonderful sight...; Ms. Bai: Traveler, could you hang the Xiao Lantern now? I'll look after Grandpa Jiangcheng.

(Talk to Jiangcheng after hanging the Xiao Lantern): Jiangcheng: Did you hang the Xiao Lantern? Truly breathtaking. The upcoming year is bound to be another great one.; It sure will.; Certainly.; Ms. Bai: Grandpa Jiangcheng, it's time for us to leave now. We still have a few errands to run. I'll visit you again soon.; Jiangcheng: I see... Young people like you always have something to do... Can't get a moment's respite...; Goodbye.; Jiangcheng: Ah, sure. Dear... don't forget to look after our land...

(Talk to Jiangcheng again): Jiangcheng: What a pretty Xiao Lantern! The upcoming year is bound to be as great as this one.

(Talk to Ms. Bai): Ms. Bai: I'm really grateful for your help. If I'd gone there on my own, it would've taken me hours to get everything done.; Ms. Bai: I didn't want to leave Grandpa Jiangcheng on his own right before the festival...; What about you...; Ms. Bai: Me... I'm going back to the mill. There's still much work to be done.; Ms. Bai: I inherited the mill when my father passed away. I left my job at Liyue Harbor to continue the family tradition.; Ms. Bai: I don't know if it makes sense, but doing the same things he used to do, being in the same environment, it makes me very nostalgic.; Ms. Bai: I often recall the many things that my father used to tell me, especially during this time of the year...; Ms. Bai: Oh, I almost forgot. With Grandpa Jiangcheng on my mind, I didn't make a Xiao Lantern for myself.; Ms. Bai: The problem is I didn't leave any spare materials either...; Ms. Bai: I'm afraid I won't get everything done in time if I go looking for materials now... Traveler, would you mind collecting some for me?; Not at all.; Ms. Bai: I really appreciate it.

(Give Xiao Lantern materials to Ms. Bai)

Ms. Bai: Have you gathered the materials yet?

Yes, I have them right here.

Ms. Bai: Thank you.

Ms. Bai: Thank you so much. I'll make myself a Xiao Lantern later.

Ms. Bai: I used to release Xiao Lanterns together with my father. When I'm done making this one, I'll have to release it on my own.

Ms. Bai: But I hope... he'll be able to see it.

He definitely will be able to see it.

Happy Lantern Rite.

Ms. Bai: Thank you so much. I wish you Happy Lantern Rite.
