Liaocheng is the most prosperous place in Yongxia Kingdom, and the Lantern Festival is held here every year near the end of the year.

Thousands of lanterns slowly fly up from the city, looking like a sea of lights, reflecting the sky like day, but the light of the fire is very gentle, very beautiful

This year, Su Yuanjin's business was arranged, and there was nothing to do, so he took his wife and children to Liaocheng to play.

In the past, my father was busy with business, and there were few opportunities to come out to play on weekdays, so this Liaocheng was the first time for the two brothers and sisters of the Su family to come, and it was the Lantern Festival, which was very lively.

A little girl in a red dress and a fox fur cloak on her shoulders, about ten years old, with her hair combed into horns, walked quickly in front of the stall, followed by a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

This little girl turned out to be Su Yange, this brother and sister are very novel, Su Yange only feels that his eyes are not enough to see, and he doesn't care about his image, his mouth is stuffed with food, he still has a bunch of gadgets in his hands, and he is still searching for novel objects in front of the stall.

After all, Su Ziyi is still a few years older, although it is fresh, but she still doesn't show it too much, but follows behind Su Yange, there are too many people here, in case she runs too fast and can't find it

"Ah Yan, you run slowly, you have too many things in your hands, don't fall"

"Brother, look at this, it's so beautiful!"

Su Yange didn't know what he saw, he suddenly stopped, Su Ziyi didn't react, he almost bumped into his sister, and said helplessly

"Ah Yan, what did you see again, you have enough in your hand"

His eyes also followed Su Yange to look at the front of the stall, there was only one small object on the stall, it should be a hand stove, the carved patterns on it were very beautiful, and they were also smeared with color, as if the evening color was surrounding the stove, exquisite and small. I liked it at first sight.

This person will do business, approaching the end of the year, the weather is cold, Liaocheng is generally lanterns and porridge shops, the hand stove encountered is the first one, it must be very popular, only this last one is left

"Little girl, do you want to buy it? I'm the last one, and I'll be able to go home when I'm done."

Suddenly, an old voice sounded, and the brother and sister noticed that there was a man wearing a hat and a black robe sitting opposite him, sitting in front of the stall with his body bent, unable to see his appearance, only hearing that the voice sounded like an old man of seventy or eighty years old

"Grandpa, I want this" I liked this hand stove at first sight, and Su Yange had already made a decision

"Haha, good" The old man laughed twice, and said gently, "One hundred taels, no bargaining"

"A hundred taels? You're robbing money."

didn't wait for Su Yange to speak, Su Ziyi heard a hundred taels and blew it up directly, because Su Yange didn't bring a money bag at all, and all the food and drink along the way were out of his own pocket, one hundred taels, I'm afraid that the money bag he brought was about to bottom out.

"Oh? I've always been at this price today, but it hasn't changed, if you don't buy it, don't get in my way. The old man is not angry, his tone is still gentle, even if this hand stove is exquisite, but after all, this price is undoubtedly sky-high for ordinary people, a few taels of silver can support the whole family for a month or two, one hundred taels It is estimated that many people have asked the price and said similar things, the old man is obviously used to it

"I'm sorry to disturb you" Su Ziyi also returned to normal, saluted the old man, turned his head and said to Su Yange

"Ah Yan, let's go, let's go see something else"

"Brother, I want this hand stove!" Su Yange didn't look at his brother, just lying in front of the stall, staring at the small hand stove with his eyes

Su Ziyi opened his mouth and didn't say a word after all, there was no way, his sister had to be spoiled when her wallet bottomed out

"That's... Please, sell us this stove. ”

Su Ziyi took out the money bag, took out a silver ticket, and handed it to the old man

"Haha~Okay" The old man laughed twice, did not take the silver ticket, but slowly got up and stretched out his wrinkled yellow old hand, opened the hand stove, added some carbon fire that I don't know what it was, lit it and covered it, and handed it to Su Yange

"Miss is going to take it."

"Thank you!" Su Yange took it happily, Xu had just lit it, but it was just warm, and it hadn't warmed up yet. But I still can't put it down, looking back and forth

The old man suddenly asked, "Miss, do you think this hand stove is worth a hundred taels?" ”

"Of course it's worth it" Su Yange didn't raise his head, still looking at the hand stove and said

"Why?" The old man continued to ask with a smile in his voice

Su Yange raised his head at this time, looked at the old man seriously and said

"If you really like it, then it is priceless, the price just depends on personal ability, if you have it, you will start, if you don't, you will think"

"Good!" The old man suddenly raised his voice, full of appreciation, "I didn't expect that Miss was only a teenager, and she could see it so thoroughly, dare to ask where Miss is from?" ”

"Qicheng, Su family, Su Yange"

Su Yange returned with a smile, but Su Ziyi gently touched Su Yange's hand with his hand, meaning not to reveal too much, Su Yange also moved his hand to show that he knew

"Miss Su, there is fate today, this hand furnace power should be given to Miss by the old man, take back one hundred taels" The old man still smiled and began to clean up the stalls

"It's... What do you mean by that? Please accept it" Su Ziyi handed over the silver ticket again, but thought in his heart, isn't it, he knows his father?

The old man stopped his movements and said to Su Ziyi

"Childe, do you know why I want to give this hand stove to Miss Su?"

"Please also ask Mr. to explain," Su Ziyi said as he bent down slightly

"I only make ten hand stoves, the lord doesn't sell them, the lady doesn't sell them, the young master doesn't sell them, and the older ladies don't sell them, but they only sell them to female dolls," the old man paused, looked at the two puzzled eyes of the brother and sister and continued

"This hand stove is too small, the man doesn't like it, and the lady sees that she wants to buy it, she thinks it is exquisite, and goes back and puts it in the house as an ornament.

The older lady also bought it to show off to other young ladies, each with its own purpose.

Only female dolls, is the heart has no distractions, really like, the eyes are not too much thought, the hand stove is used for hand warming, if it loses its own usefulness, isn't it worthless, I look at the young lady's eyes just now, the eyes are focused, just simple love.

Miss also said just now, if you really like it, it is priceless, and the son insists on giving me two silver taels, isn't it blasphemy? ”

Su Ziyi was speechless after saying this, so he had to take Su Yange to thank him many times, and finally the old man smiled and waved his hand to let them leave

The brother and sister thanked them again, and then said goodbye to the old man and left, and the old man watched them disappear into the crowd, and his body slowly straightened up.

And the old man under the hat is not really an old man, except for his hands, if he sees the appearance, he is just a teenager or so, he smiled and read softly in his mouth

"Qicheng, Su family, Su Yange, the Su family has a girl who has just grown up! ~”

A few chuckles resumed the juvenile voice, which turned out to be very good......
