2-27 Addison

The contestant, who was performing his talent in the lake pavilion of Mochou Lake, hung a small wooden box on his chest, held a glass light bulb in one hand, and turned the handle on his chest with the other. As he turned, the bulb glowed softly, which was relative to the two harsh arc lamps on the lake.

This man actually invented the vacuum light bulb! Liu Ziguang was very interested, and ordered the boatman to move closer so that he could see clearly.

The man was a young student in blue silk, holding a shiny light bulb and stammering to introduce himself: "Little....Xiao Ke's surname... The surname is Ai Mingcong, and the word... Word... The word Disheng, who lives in Jubaomen, this is a small Kefa... Hair... Hair.. The invention of the self-grinding electric glass lamp, I want to take the opportunity of the good boy contest to ask the old people....old ladies and ladies present....are there any willing to ask? ”

The ladies on the ship retracted to the cabin and chatted with melon seeds. "A stammerer actually came to peddle some broken glass lanterns, I really don't know how the game is arranged?" "That's it, I want to sell things and go to the Confucius Temple, why did I come here and lose my luck, it's really two or five." The ladies complained and threw the peel and melon seed shells into the water at will.

Addison wanted to continue to say something, but the audience was already booing, and the idlers were squatting on the ground and trees around him, cheering and whistling, and drove him off the stage. "Go down, shit. Go home and find your wife to sell your glass lamp. I don't know who shouted loudly, causing laughter. It's also a soothing episode in the competition.

The judges were still serious about their scores, and all five judges held up a sign with a giant "X" indicating that there was no score for the KO out.

Addison had a bitter face and wanted to say something, and the emcee had already begun to call the name of the next contestant, "Next, Wang Liuge, the choir of the Internal Affairs Office will be selected!" One of the judges kindly advised Addison: "Little brother has any delicate things to send to the Ministry of Works, here is a comparison of talent rather than craftsmanship." ”

Addison went off the stage in despair, and then came to the stage with a handsome little guy wearing white powder and wiping lipstick, wearing a white robe with a dark flower round neck brocade, and red satin shoes under his feet, and waved his hand as soon as he came up: "Hello everyone, I am a song from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and today I bring you a song "Sifan", I hope you can like it, thank you~~~" The bright voice sounded through Mochou Lake, and even if you leaned on the last boat, you could hear it clearly.

The ladies all came out of the cabin, and the whole lake was lively, "Leave a song!" Leave a song! The shrill cries of the women made the idlers also excited, "This little eunuch is so handsome, a little more handsome than the new prostitutes who came in the chaos!" ”

"Yes, not only is the person handsome, but the song he sings is called handsome, so what, how do you say it? Zhang Laosan?"

"Illiterate isn't it, that's called lingering sound, around the beam for three days."

Liu Ziguang was more interested in Addison, who disappeared into the crowd after stepping down, and he saw that the boat was not far from the shore, so he gave Peng Jingrong an explanation and stepped on someone else's boat all the way to the shore.

Addison stumbled in front, his thin back pulled out by the high arc lamp, looking extremely lonely, the crowd gathered around Wang Liuge to listen to the tune, and no one paid attention to the whereabouts of the harlequin.

He walked to a place where no one was, sat down quietly, stroked the glass lamp in his hand, did not speak, and Liu Ziguang, who was ten meters away, also stopped, observing what this genius inventor wanted to do.

After a while, Addison raised his head, his chest was already soaked, and he was crying silently, "Mother, the child is not filial, and he has lost all the family business left by his father, and even the money for your old medicine has been put in, mother, the child has taken the first step." The voice was dull and deep, revealing deep despair and sadness.

He stood up, unbuckled his belt, threw his hand on the nearby crooked neck tree, tied a dead button, tried the load-bearing, and then put the small wooden box at his feet, ready to hang himself.

At this time, Wang Liuge's high-pitched and loud singing voice was heard in the lake pavilion, and halfway through the singing, Wang Liuge also interacted with the fans and shouted: "Everyone come together!" Then the whole lake boiled, and the men and women sang "Sifan" together, which can be described as singing and laughing, and the whole good boy contest reached the first level.

This colorful world can no longer be seen, Addison glanced at the brightly lit Mochou Lake, resolutely hung his neck in a knot, and suddenly an unfamiliar voice came from behind him, "Are you going to leave like this?" Do you want your wife to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person? ”

Addison's hand holding the upper rope froze, "I don't have the face to live anymore, the silver is used up, the house and the land are all taken, and I have borrowed three hundred taels of silver from a loan shark." The clothes on my body and the money I used to sign up for the competition were all borrowed, no one wanted to buy my invention, my daughter-in-law ran away, my mother was seriously ill and dying, what is the point of me still living? With that, he continued to stretch his head into the noose.

"What if I'm willing to buy your invention?" Liu Ziguang said slowly.

"Really?" Addison's eyes seemed to light up for a moment, and then dimmed again, "For this Rausch, I spent nearly three thousand taels of silver, and the hole is not filled anyway, if Mr. thinks this thing is still a little interesting, give me ten taels of silver, so that I can buy a thin-skinned coffin and send it to the old lady before going to die." ”

It seems that the self-confidence of this genius has been destroyed, and he only dares to offer ten taels of silver for the light bulb he invented.

"Look at this glass bottle, it is a Western wine bottle modification, the filament is made of bamboo charcoal, it took me countless hours just to pump out the air inside, and the materials of the power box are also very particular, you see this handle is copper, this wooden box is sandalwood, and this wire, it is pure silver, and the silversmith's handmade money for carving silk cost 500 Wen." Addison finally got off the box, sat on the ground and picked up the box, and explained in a slow voice.

As he spoke, he couldn't stop sobbing when he thought of all the ups and downs in the invention process, "This is my lifeline, I won't kill myself if it's easy, the glass lamp I made before, when it was sent to the Yamen Manufacturing Division of the Ministry of Industry, it was directly thrown out and broken by the director, saying that it was garbage, I was young and vigorous and argued a few words, and was beaten with a stick, and the director also said that as long as he reigned for one day, I would never be allowed to step into the Ministry of Industry half a step." Pity me for two whole years of glass lanterns was denied by his words, to the Confucius Temple to sell in the bazaar, those bosses are only willing to give one or two silver, and laughed at me that this thing can only be used by children, in desperation, I can only borrow decent clothes and a little broken silver, participated in this good boy competition, I hope that the dignitaries present can have knowledge, but I didn't think about it....."

Addison didn't stutter, he was just too nervous on stage, his emaciated cheeks, godless eyes, and thin body all proved that this person was overworked and malnourished for a long time.

His eyes were still full of tears, but he was no longer sobbing, "Sir, would you like ten taels of silver?" ”

Liu Ziguang took the glass lamp and looked at it, this is the world's first real electric lamp, and it was actually ignored by these brain-dead people.

"Of course ten taels of silver won't work." Liu Ziguang paused, "I'll give 100,000 taels of silver." ”
