The gates of ancient and modern times were pushed open, and the bells hung on the doors rang non-stop. In the impression of the neighborhood, no one has visited this strange antique shop since it opened.

A young girl walked in from outside the door, with long hair, a long skirt, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, just like a little sister next door.

"You...... Hello...... Pls is the boss in ...... Are you there?" the girl asked timidly, pushing her black-rimmed glasses.

In front of the counter sat a young man in a straight suit, holding a glass of red wine and sipping it carefully. For the first customer of this shop, he did not receive him very warmly.

When he took a sip of red wine and put down his glass, he smiled in return.

"I'm the boss here, my surname is Chen. ”

The boss's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the red paper umbrella in the girl's hand.

"This red paper umbrella is a few years old. ”

"Right...... That's right...... This is my grandmother's ...... The ...... who stayed" probably because of nervousness, the girl didn't look at the boss, just stared down at the red paper umbrella in her hand, and stammered.

The boss smiled slightly, got up from the chair and walked over to the girl. To be honest, his appearance and this smile are easy to give people a sense of steadiness.

"Come, show me. ”

The girl handed out the red paper umbrella, and the boss took it and walked to the counter.

"I hear people say...... Say you can help people make it happen...... Aspiration. Is it true?" the girl still lowered her head, her palms clenched, and she looked a little nervous.

The boss turned his head and still smiled, "That's right, but before you can make your wish come true, you have to show me your red paper umbrella." ”

Walking to the counter, the boss opened the red paper umbrella.

This red paper umbrella is particularly bright red, and there is a line of words engraved on the handle.

"The autumn rain rises slightly, and life and death are inseparable. Such an infatuated boy. The boss stared at the line and muttered to himself.

"You...... Do you think...... How's that?" the girl asked.

The boss took another closer look, gently closed the umbrella, and beckoned to the girl standing there.

"Come, come over for a cup of tea, and I'll tell you a story. ”

"This ...... This...... No need. The girl became more nervous and looked a little resistant.

"It's the rule. ”

The boss put out the tea set and beckoned the girl to take a seat, but the girl had no choice but to sit down reluctantly.

"What's your name?" the boss didn't look at the girl, concentrating on making tea.

"I ...... My name is Gao Jia. ”

The boss handed a cup of brewed tea to Gao Jia, showing a warm smile, "You don't have to be nervous, I want you to tell a story about a red paper umbrella......

An autumn rain, a dream, an umbrella and a love.

The Jiangnan area loves paper umbrellas, and its production process is that of the umbrella-making craftsman Chen. Chen's umbrella-making process is so famous in the Jiangnan area that many businessmen have come to order paper umbrellas.

Chen's family is kind and kind, and his neighbors will help as long as they are busy, so his reputation is very good in this area. The wife is very beautiful, and the son is also very innocent and cheerful.

Originally, the Chen family lived an envious life in the eyes of others, and the family was filial to the father and son, but suddenly there was such a day, the pillar of the Chen family died of illness inexplicably, and the death was unknown.

Some people say that it was the eyes of others who poisoned Chen, others say that Chen's wife Hongxing went out of the wall and killed Chen's husband with sympathy, and even more that Chen had committed some crime and was punished by God. In short, the more it spreads, the more mysterious it becomes.

Chen's wife went to report to the official, but the government ignored it, and everyone felt that Chen's wife had a problem. How could such a good-looking girl marry a short and ugly umbrella maker?

was pointed out by thousands of people for a while, and was ridiculed with cold eyes, and everyone said that she had poisoned Chen.

At first, everyone just talked about it, but later, some neighbors who had a good relationship with the Chen family on weekdays fought for the Chen family. In the middle of the night, he rushed to Chen's wife's house and took it out, and he was beaten badly, and when he went to the street to buy vegetables, he was smashed all over with rotten eggs.

The students in the school would tell Chen's son that he was born to his mother and a wild man.

So they became the object of scorn by all.

One night, Chen's wife called her son to her, saying that she wanted to teach him the art of making umbrellas. Although the big man in the family is gone, this craft must not be lost, so he asked his son to inherit it.

Chen's wife taught while shedding tears over and over again, and her son learned very seriously, probably because he had watched his father make umbrellas since he was born, so he learned quite quickly.

"Mother, they all say that I was not born to my father, is it true?" the son finally asked this question after thinking for a long time.

Chen's wife was silent, just staring at the oil-paper umbrella that her husband had once made. When the son saw that his mother did not answer, he stopped asking, picked up an oil-paper umbrella and looked at it carefully. The mother and son were silent all night until dawn.

On the second day, my son went to the school as usual, and waited for the school to go home. Pushing open the door, my mother was already hanging from the beams.

"Do you feel that Chen's son is more miserable? First he lost his father, and then his mother committed suicide again. The boss took a sip of the tea in the cup and said.

Gao Jia nodded.

"Do you want to keep listening?"

"You...... You continue. Gao Jia pushed his black-rimmed glasses and replied softly.

Chen Linjun, the son of the Chen family, his father died violently when he was young, and his mother committed suicide because she couldn't stand public opinion, leaving him alone in the world when he was young.

Originally, in the eyes of others, this child was finished, but he didn't expect that at a young age, he learned his father's umbrella-making skills and became an umbrella maker. I lived by making umbrellas.

The Chen family has a child who has just grown up, but at least twenty, the fame of umbrella making has spread all over the Jiangnan area, which is not much better than his father. And as time slowly passed, people gradually forgot the saddest past in Chen Le's heart.

Chen Linjun's appearance follows his mother, he has a delicate appearance, his temper follows his father, and the neighbors are busy and will definitely help. So everyone likes this miserable boy in their hearts.

The poor love to ask him to make umbrellas because his umbrellas are strong and durable; the rich people love to ask him to make umbrellas because his umbrellas are dignified and rich; talented people love to ask him to make umbrellas because the umbrellas he makes are very angry; and the ladies love to ask him to make umbrellas because the umbrellas he makes are as beautiful and generous as girls.

On this day, he was going to send a red paper umbrella to the famous ladies in the city. But this day is changing, the front foot is still clear, and the back foot rain is like a pebble down.

Umbrella makers have a rule, the umbrella made for the guest cannot be used by himself no matter what, so Chen Le can only find a place to avoid the sudden heavy rain.

The rain kept falling, wetting the world and Chen Linjun's clothes. He hid under the eaves of one side to avoid the rain, and the red paper umbrella in his hand was tightly wrapped, and he didn't open the umbrella even if the rain hit him.

This may be the umbrella smith's ethics in his heart.

"It's raining so hard. ”

The light voice blew into his heart like a gust of wind and sounded in his ears.

The girl wet her clothes and spent her makeup in this heavy rain, but she was still delicate and moving.

The girl shuttled from the heavy rain and shared under the same roof with Chen Linjun.

"Childe, why don't you hold an umbrella?" the girl asked while fiddling with her long hair while looking at Chen Linjun.

"I ...... I ......" Chen Linjun looked a little nervous, and couldn't say a word for a long time. Just looked at the girl's beautiful face, and blushed for a while.

The girl seemed to notice that Chen Linjun's face was slightly red, so she hid her face and laughed.

"Childe, don't you look good-looking at the slave family?

Hearing this, Chen Linjun retracted his gaze and hurriedly made amends.

The girl laughed, Xiaosheng was just a delirium, and he made amends to the girl here. Chen Linjun apologized.

"Childe hasn't answered the slave's question yet. The girl's light voice sounded again, and she asked with a smile.

Chen Linjun lowered his head and looked at the wrapped red paper umbrella in his hand, "Xiaosheng is a famous umbrella maker, no matter what the situation is, you can't disassemble the guest's paper umbrella and use it without permission, this is the rule." ”

"This red paper umbrella is so beautiful. The girl looked at the red paper umbrella in Chen Linjun's hand, the bright red color looked incompatible with this blue and gray world.

"Yes, Xiao Sheng started making paper umbrellas when he was a child, but this red paper umbrella is the first time Xiao Sheng has made it. When there are flaws, I hope that the young lady of the Li family will not blame. Chen Linjun smiled and looked at the girl.

"No, no, Childe's craftsmanship is great, presumably the Miss Li family must be satisfied. As she spoke, the girl also gave a thumbs up, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and a wave of warmth surged from Chen Linjun, which immediately warmed her heart.

Chen Linjun was distracted, his eyes collided with each other, and Chen Linjun was so frightened that he hurriedly retracted it, and he didn't know what to do.

"Childe, what's wrong?" the girl asked when she saw Chen Linjun's flustered appearance.

Chen Linjun scratched his head, "No...... It's nothing. By the way, girl, you see that the rain can't stop for a while, and your body is also wet, don't catch a cold. Chen Linjun hurriedly changed the topic, which made him less embarrassed.

"There's no way around it, I'm in a hurry to go out today, and I don't know it's going to rain this day. Now it seems that we can only wait for the rain to stop before going back. The girl looked up at the pouring rain, and there was no sign of stopping.

Suddenly, something was shoved into the girl's arms.

"Girl, you take this umbrella first, hurry back and change your clothes, don't catch a cold. Chen Linjun looked at the girl and said with a smile.

This time the girl was stunned, "Childe, isn't this umbrella for the Miss Li family?"

Chen Linjun shook his head with a smile when he heard this, "It's okay, it's a big deal for Xiaosheng to go back and make another one." But the girl needs this umbrella even more now. ”

"But why doesn't Childe support himself?"

"Men are no better than women, their bodies are hard-boned, and it doesn't hurt to get some rain. ”

"But ......" The girl was just about to speak, when she saw Chen Linjun rushing out into the heavy rain outside.

"The girl remembered to go back early and change her clothes, so as not to catch a cold. Chen Linjun used his sleeve robe to block the rain while running, and turned around and shouted at the girl.

The girl looked at the back that was gradually disappearing in the rain and smiled slightly.

"Won't you send me back with an umbrella?"

The girl opened the red paper umbrella, and that little bit of red added a vitality to the wet world, lining the girl's light steps, like a fairy in the rain.

"What a red paper umbrella, what a little umbrellamaker. ”
