Chapter 114: Lotus Lantern
But in the end, only Chen Wen was the only one who sat down to participate, because Zhang Alan was not interested, and he thought it was expensive.
So she politely rejected Chen Wen all.
After all, after Chen Wenluo sat down for a while, Zhang Alan said that he would go elsewhere to take a look.
Chen Wen couldn't keep her with his eyes, so he let Zhang Alan go.
I thought it would be done in no time.
But after a long time, there was still only one contestant in this stall, Chen Wen.
It's not that no one wants to come, it's that they all see the prize and leave.
One girl watched it for a long time, and finally said slowly: "This reward is too shabby." ”
Such a small oil lamp is of little use, except that it is more beautiful, but it is not as good as a candle.
Therefore, people come and go, and Chen Wen is the only one left.
Grandma leaned on her back, and when she heard their words, she coughed several times in anger.
"This lamp also has a great place, really, really ......" Grandma paused for a long time, and finally didn't say anything.
If it weren't for her son's need for medicine, she would never have taken out the lamp and let it flow into the hands of others in this way, as she had intended to pass on the lamp as a family heirloom.
Why, there are so many people who don't know the goods.
Grandma looked at Chen Wen's curious eyes waiting for her to continue, suddenly stopped talking, sighed, and said, "It seems that if you wait a little longer, you are the only one who is the little girl, but unfortunately, this one person can't participate." ”
Ten cents for a lamp, a loss.
As soon as she heard this, Chen Wen frowned, she liked this lamp, she couldn't say that it wouldn't be compared if it wasn't compared.
But it's true that they all left because they couldn't look down on this lamp.
Chen Wen sighed, after waiting for so long, no one wants to compare with her, it's just that, it seems that she has no fate with this lamp, she should go and see other houses.
You can't say to Grandma, why don't you sell me this lamp? Chen Wen didn't like it to this extent, he just wanted to see what the lamp that emitted the fragrance of lotus flowers looked like when it burned.
But the moment Chen Wen stood up, he was stopped.
"Wait, little girl." Grandma beat her back and stood up, as if she was secretly gritting her teeth, and finally let go: "Compare, compare, compare." ”
"Huh?" Chen Wen glanced left and right, and finally pointed to his chin and said, "Didn't you say that as long as I am alone, you won't let me compare?" ”
Grandma was stunned: "I regretted it, it's not impossible to let you compare alone, it's just ......"
Grandma hesitated, and she didn't know if what she said would force the only little girl to want to leave.
Chen Wen couldn't wait for the next for a long time, and urged: "Just what? ”
"It's just that we have to change the content of the competition."
"You say."
"Embroider a handkerchief instead, and embroider a lotus flower on it."
Grandma was embarrassed after saying that, she was really embarrassed by others. A handkerchief is so small, to embroider a piece of lotus, it is a test of the embroiderer's handiwork, the embroidery is not good, it is not pleasing to the eye.
But no matter what, there won't be any more guests to compete tonight, and she can't keep the little girl.
And it seems that the little girl also likes this lamp, rather than let it fall into the hands of people who don't know how to appreciate it, it is better to find it a master who likes it.
Although I don't know, how skilled this little girl is, whether she is enough to win this lamp.
Chen Wen frowned, tapped his fingers on the table, and hesitated.
"Can't do it?"
It's not that she can't do it, it's just that embroidering lotus flowers is very time-consuming, not to mention a piece of lotus, when she has to embroider, she doesn't have much time to spend in the city, she has to go back to sleep at night.
"Why, can't you do it? Or is the craftsmanship not good? ”
Yo?
Chen Wen raised his eyebrows, and his desire to win instantly exploded.
It can be said that she is young and may not be able to embroider, but it cannot be said that her craftsmanship is not good.
She has good craftsmanship, but she has been certified by the bride.
Chen Wen took out ten pieces of silver from his purse, patted it on the table, and proudly raised his head: "Bring the needle and thread." ”
She let this grandma know if she could do it.
Grandma deliberately placed the candle closer to Chen Wen, and sat in her place and waited for Chen Wen slowly.
In the interval of waiting, one or two girls also came over, without exception, they retreated when they saw the oil lamp, and the grandmother was not enthusiastic at the beginning, so she no longer beckoned them to compete.
Those who were left out in the cold naturally left.
At this time, Chen Wen had just started the needle, until after embroidering a lotus flower, he raised his head and twisted his sore neck, and saw that there were many people around him.
She was stunned for a long time.
It was still deserted here just now, why did you lower your head and work for a while, so many people came around.
There were two girls, seeing that Chen Wen stopped what he was doing, volunteered to stretch out his hand, and asked Grandma: "I don't know if there is still a shortage of people to compete?" ”
It's not that I fell in love with the oil lamp, but I just wanted to compete with this girl with fine embroidery.
Grandma had a smile on her face, and glanced at Chen Wen meaningfully: "Lacking, lacking." "Sure enough, people can't look good, I didn't expect a young girl to have such good embroidery skills.
Look, all of this can attract guests for her.
The two girls sat down, and the grandmother probably told them about the rules, and the two girls put the money in the hands of the grandmother, and the grandmother looked at the money in her hand, and her eyes lit up.
That's the money for his son's medicine for a day.
Chen Wen pursed his lips, didn't speak, and lowered his head to embroider a handkerchief.
The desire to win is quite terrifying, and Chen Wen really likes that lotus lantern, anyway, he can't easily let it fall into the hands of others.
One of the girls gave up quickly, she embroidered dazzlingly, the branches of the lotus flowers were embroidered, the gap in the middle became larger, I wanted to tear it down, think about it, forget it, anyway, it's just ten pieces of silver.
She turned her head to look at Chen Wen and was startled by her.
This girl...... Seeing that the milk smell has not dried, there is such a deep foundation!
Chen Wen was also about to collapse in embroidery, his neck hurt, and he only embroidered half of the handkerchief.
After thinking about it, it was still an impossible task, she suddenly sighed, and then her fingers flew quickly, and she stopped the handkerchief that was only half embroidered.
Although it stopped abruptly, Chen Wen looked at this handkerchief, but it also had a different flavor.
However, in this competition, she did not complete the task given by her grandmother, and if she lost, she lost.
That's it.
But who knows, this inconspicuous stall is full of people, and everyone is watching her embroider lotus.
Grandma asked, "Finished embroidering?" ”
Chen Wen shook his head truthfully: "No, but I can't finish it, I only embroider half of it, you see, I lost." ”
"No, no, no."
A girl suddenly spoke in a loud voice: "You didn't lose, you won." Right, Grandma, she won. ”
"Yes." Grandma also smiled and nodded: "You won." ”
She took down the lotus lantern and handed it to Chen Wen: "Take it, your reward." ”
Chen Wen looked stunned and took the lamp.
After that, someone in the crowd suddenly asked Grandma: "Grandma, do you sell that half of the handkerchief?" ”
Grandma's face with a smile became more and more folded, and she said continuously: "Sell, sell, sell." ”
"Then I'll write twenty articles."
"I'll write twenty-five articles."
Chen Wen: "......"
Still bidding? I'm still here!
