On the way back, he saw a bamboo glowing at night. A bamboo shoot appeared out of season next to the bamboo. size little people.
Old Bamboo Weng thought that this was the little princess bestowed upon him by God, and Old Bamboo Weng took her home carefully, and she turned into a baby in the hands of his wife. Her arrival surprised the childless old couple and named her "Little Princess"
She grew up at an extraordinary speed, from toddler to babbling, and laughing and playing with her friends in the countryside. The growth rate of the little princess is astonishing, and she will grow taller after a few days. Friends in the mountains and forests jokingly call her like a bamboo shoot, so they call her "bamboo" (but the old bamboo man still insists on calling her "little princess").

And they also established a very good relationship with brother Shewan. deep feelings.
Until one day, the old Bamboo Weng found countless gold and beautiful and expensive clothes in the glowing bamboo. He suddenly realized that the little princess God gave him was to take good care of her and grow up and enjoy what a princess should be. possessed identity. So he decided to go to Beijing, build a princess mansion, ask the teacher to teach him, ask the servants to serve him, and make his little princess a real princess.
On this day, the little friends parted after playing as usual. Before going home, everyone made an appointment to catch pheasants and eat pheasant hot pot together tomorrow. After returning home, Zhuzi excitedly showed the game in the small basket to his adoptive parents, but the old Zhuweng and the old couple stood at the door and looked at her solemnly, as if they had been waiting for her to come back. They told the little princess: Our family is moving to Beijing to live. The little princess left the forest with reluctance and moved her family to a mansion in the capital.
The little princess was very happy when she first arrived in Kyoto to see the luxurious mansion and the beautiful silk and satin, but later she found that it was not what she imagined.
The little princess began to learn etiquette, calligraphy, piano skills from the teacher Sagami-sama (the teacher who Lao Zhuweng specially invited back to teach the princess etiquette)... Really learn how to be a dignified and elegant princess.
However, how can the little princess, who loves to play and like freedom by nature, want to be safe and well-behaved. She poses as a cat and teases kittens in the courtyard. She refuses to pluck her eyebrows, and refuses to paint her teeth black The woman needs to shave her eyebrows, dye black teeth, and apply white powder), Bamboo shoots said that if you shave your eyebrows, sweat will flow into your eyes, and if you wear black teeth, you can't laugh, but the teacher said that the noble princess will not sweat, Can't laugh, the little princess said that the noble princess is not human at all.
The old bamboo man's wife built a dilapidated small thatched hut in the mansion because she missed the rural days in the bamboo forest, and opened a small courtyard to grow vegetables and flowers. She misses her former friends in the mountains very much, but the old bamboo man does not allow her to contact them again.
Slowly, the little princess turned into a slender girl. The old Zhuweng decided to entertain the distinguished guests of Jingcheng, and held a three-day and three-night banquet to celebrate the princess's adulthood. The princess is beautiful and radiant in the dark.
In the end, the princess was restless and couldn't bear to rush out of the mansion, fleeing all the way to the countryside. When the princess returned to the former mountain forest, she found that everyone had moved away, and the mountain forest looked dead. The charcoal burner told her that the mountains and forests were not dead, and all the flowers, birds, fish and insects were getting ready for the arrival of spring.
When the awakened princess opened her eyes, she found that she was still in the mansion, and the hustle and bustle of the banquet was still going on. When she woke up from a dream, the princess learned to forbear, and she believed that spring would come.
