174. Half a lifetime of conversation

, Lao Cai lowered his voice and spit out one word: "Lamp." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

When Cheng Linghui heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "Old Cai, I can't see that you are quite funny." Knowing that I was anxious now, I came to relieve my boredom. Thank you. ”

Lao Cai Zhengse said: "Third grandmother, how many years have we been friends." You don't know what kind of person my old vegetable is? ”

Cheng Linghui said: "It's not that I don't believe you. Take a look outside for yourself, and the last thing I need here is the lights. ”

Lao Cai sneered: "If you want to call the lamp, there will be no lamp in the world." ”

Cheng Linghui listened: "Old Cai, don't you want to joke with me?" ”

Lao Cai said: "I brought it, just take a look." With that, he got up and walked out.

The first time Lao Cai came to Zhuanshui City, Cheng Linghui's house. Several wooden boxes were pulled in the car, and the people of the Chang family thought it was a gift he brought to Chang Jiwen and his family, so they helped unload them in the yard. At this time, Chang Jiwen was there. saw Lao Cai and Cheng Linghui coming out one after the other.

He didn't know Lao Cai, and he didn't know how to say hello at the moment, so he couldn't help but look at Cheng Linghui with his eyes. Cheng Linghui introduced them to each other. As soon as Lao Cai heard that this was Cheng Linghui's man Chang Jiwen, he was about to kowtow at that time. You must know that three years ago, Chang Jiwen went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to be an official, and he was majestic when he left. Who doesn't know that he is Longtu alive.

Chang Jiwen heard that he was Cheng Linghui's friend, and he was not subject to the old dish no matter what. The two were entangled. Cheng Linghui was already impatient: "Old Cai, where is your lamp?" ”

Lao Cai stopped saluting at this time, and patted the wooden boxes gently, showing a rare look of spirit on his face: "That's it." ”

Not only Cheng Linghui was dumbfounded, everyone in the courtyard was dumbfounded. In ancient times, the lanterns were all bamboo strips, or wooden strips were keels, and then pasted with translucent hemp paper, crepe paper, and better table silk and satin. In the delicate lanterns are ever-changing. There are seven or eight boxes brought by the old vegetables, to say the least. Each box is two feet square. If it is fully equipped with the keel and lamp surface of the lamp, how many lamps can there be?

Lao Cai was very satisfied with everyone's surprise, and opened one of the boxes to let Cheng Linghui take a closer look.

Cheng Linghui and Chang Jiwen stretched out their heads to look, only to see that the box was full of silk wool. In the middle of the silk floc lies a glass object shaped like a lotus flower. I couldn't see what it was for, and the two couldn't help but look at each other.

Cheng Linghui carefully took the glazed lotus flower out of the box. Looking at the sunlight, the lotus flower radiated a brilliant color, and everyone present sighed, even gold and jade jewelry may not have such a magnificent color.

Lao Cai said proudly: "My lamp has a name, it's called 'Nine Lotus Blossom Glass Lamp'." A lamp is hung up, and there is more than one person tall. At night, you can only see it by lighting a candle. ”

Cheng Linghui suppressed the excitement in her heart, and carefully put the lotus cup back into the box. looked at the old vegetable with two eyes, and couldn't wait to pounce on him and bite him: "Old Cai, you stand still and don't move, and be worshiped by me." As he spoke, he bowed down. The old dish was so startled that he hurriedly jumped away: "Third grandmother, but no." ”

Cheng Linghui said happily: "You saved my life." With this nine-fold lotus flower glass lamp, this year's Lantern Festival, I can finally raise my eyebrows and breathe a sigh of relief. ”

"That's nature." Lao Cai is not modest: "I dare to say, as soon as this lamp comes out, there is no light in the world." "For so many years, Cheng Linghui has never seen Lao Cai so vibrant, the old man is always silent, and he can't beat a stuffy fart with three sticks. If it weren't for Cheng Linghui to help him and Li Touer to take care of him, he wouldn't be able to mix in the porcelain kiln.

No one could have imagined that such an honest and cowardly old vegetable man would hide such a treasure. Cheng Linghui was so happy that he forgot that Lao Cai had said that he had ruined his family for this thing. It can be seen that this lamp has a story.

However, with Cheng Linghui's temperament, no matter how big the matter is, it doesn't matter if he wins back face. Urge the old food to hang up this lamp quickly.

Lao Cai shook his head: "Now is not the time." Late dinner is a good meal, and it will not be revealed until the last moment, so as to teach the people of the Kaizhou Mansion to be amazed. ”

Cheng Linghui said with a smile: "I can't see it, you still have a city government." ”

Lao Cai smiled, and the indescribable bitterness in his smile: "I've been holding back all my life, and I've got everything into it, and I don't want to publicize it again?" ”

With the nine-fold lotus glazed lamp of the old dish, Cheng Linghui's heart was finally fished out of the boiling oil pot. Although I only saw a lotus cup, I saw the leopard, coupled with Cheng Linghui's understanding of old vegetables, I knew in my heart that this glass cup must be extraordinary.

But Chang Jiwen suddenly became worried. If this glass lamp is really as described by the old dish, it is a great treasure. As the old saying goes, the villain is not guilty, but he is guilty. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Because of full certainty, Cheng Linghui brought the whole family to Kaizhou Mansion.

Grandma and Mother went to Kaizhou for the second time, and although they couldn't see it, they were still happy.

Chang Jiwen originally bought a small yard in Kaizhou Mansion, but it was later burned. After Chang Erye took over the business of the grain store, he built it again in order to facilitate walking. This courtyard is very small, and the second master Chang is thoughtful, afraid that if something happens, the three brothers will not be able to live here, so they will build a building. Why not find another piece of land? Because the capital of Kaizhou Mansion is different from Chengjiazhuang. The land here is owned by the owner, and if you want to occupy it, you have to pay for it. Chang Erye has tasted enough of the bitterness of despair, and if he can save money, he will save it.

Cheng Linghui moved the family to Kaizhou Mansion to enjoy the lanterns, but Chang Er's grandmother was not happy. The farthest in her life is from her mother's home to Zhuanshui City, and from Zhuanshui City to her mother's home. I haven't even been to Shaxi County.

Now, I heard that even Cheng Linghui's blind grandmother and mother can go to Kaizhou Mansion to enjoy the lanterns, and with her cautious and top-notch character, she has to go to Kaizhou Mansion to see everything.

Not only did she want to go by herself, but she was not to be outdone and she wanted to take all the children in the family with her. Didn't Cheng Linghui bring her mother's family? Her father and mother have passed away, don't they still have her mother's brother and sister-in-law, nephew, and niece?

Good guy, she can't live in the small courtyard of the state mansion, but where can Cheng Linghui's family go?

Chang Er's grandmother didn't care about this, she hated Chang Jiwen and her family in her heart, and wished they all slept on the street.

Second Master Chang is very partial to this old wife now, and it is not difficult to be caught in the middle. was worried, and the grandmother of the Chang family asked someone to bring a letter. The grandmother of the Chang family heard that the second and third children were going to Kaizhou Mansion to enjoy the lanterns. How can you not be tempted?

Kaizhou Mansion is her maiden home. The eldest grandmother was moved, and hurriedly gathered the children and grandchildren of the family to go too.

Uncle Chang's family has more people than the second master and Chang Jiwen's family combined. With so many people, even if it is a guest house, I am afraid that I will have to charter a whole inn. However, Grandma Chang said that there is no need for the second master to worry, her mother's family is one of the largest families in Kaizhou Prefecture. No matter how many people can live, they can live. She not only took her children and grandchildren to live in her mother's house, but also asked Cheng Linghui's family to go with her.

Now, Chang Er's grandmother is not happy again. I feel that the eldest grandmother is eccentric to Cheng Linghui. I don't want to, it's her own fuss about living in the mansion of Kaizhou. Let Cheng Linghui and her family have no place to live, and Grandma Chang is sharing her own man's worries.

Therefore, there is such a person in this world, which is unreasonable. Fortunately, the eldest grandmother has never seen her in general. She won't take the initiative to find trouble with Cheng Linghui. The three of them can be safe.

The grandma's courage is really beyond even Cheng Linghui's reach. Not only did she take everyone to live in her mother's house, but she also took the best position to watch the lanterns, and chartered two private rooms facing the street upstairs. In this way, a kind of girl does not have to go to the street to watch the lights like the women of small families.

Such an arrangement is certainly not fun for Cheng Linghui, who is accustomed to showing up and going south and north. However, for those girls who are not allowed to go out all year round, they are already very happy. At least like the second sister and the fifth sister, after they went home, they had the capital to brag to others that they had seen the lanterns in Kaizhou Mansion and rushed past the Lantern Festival in Kaizhou Mansion. This is enough to be the talk of their lives for half a lifetime.
