Grandma was also shocked, her eyes stared at Changshan and refused to relax, and asked, "Is what he just said true?" He pondered for a while, and then said sharply: "People say that the Western-style photo studio can absorb people's spirits and souls, and I handed over a few of their brothers and sisters to your care, and I was very relieved in my heart, but how could you let them go to that kind of place to mess around?" ”

Changshan was stunned, and he was also very embarrassed by his grandmother's questioning, "I don't know about this either," his eyes were like dark sparks, he turned his face and accused us, "When I was in Guangzhou, I did explain that except for those Western-style photo studios on the street, don't go to other places as you like to play and make trouble?" He snorted softly, "What about you?" Completely deaf ears! What a disappointment! ”

Zhiqi raised his eyes slightly, and retorted: "No, the camera is just a device that uses the principle of optical imaging to form images and record images with negatives, how can it attract people's essence and take people's souls!" ”

Zhirui's eyes flashed slightly, "Yes, what grandma heard are some nonsense from ignorant people!" It's been 14 years since Guangxu, and grandma still fully believes in those so-called ghosts and gods! ”

Grandma knocked on the table and said, "Okay, well, I've become an ignorant person!" ”

Zhirui frowned and said: "Grandma, this is clearly a strong word, how could I have said that grandma is an ignorant person!" ”

Changshan glared at Zhirui and snorted, "Okay, the more you talk, the more you don't talk!" ”

After a moment of silence, Grandma took a deep breath and said, "Whether those ghosts and gods are true or false, I only know that whenever you face strange forces and gods, you must always have pious respect, and the truth passed down by our ancestors for hundreds of years must be correct," and said, "Even if three points are wrong, the other seven points must be worth believing!" ”

Changshan lowered his eyebrows, exhaled and inhaled very heavily, raised his finger and pointed at Zhiqi, and then pointed at Zhirui, "I spent a lot of money in Guangzhou for you to go to the Western-style school to study, not for you to learn these sideways!" ”

Zhirui's eyes flickered, his fingertips tapped on the lid of the tea bell and jingled softly, his mouth contained a meaningful smile, he was silent for a long time, and finally said loudly: "Many of the truths handed down by the ancestors for hundreds of years are actually unreasonable," his eyes gently hooked Zhiqi, "Take the camera as an example, Zhiqi is right, it is just a device that uses the principle of optical imaging to form an image and record the image with a negative, there is nothing unusual, if the camera can really absorb people's essence and capture people's souls, So our brothers and sisters have long been drained of their essence in Guangzhou, and the seven souls have long lost their six souls, how can they still stand in front of grandma and talk in a dignified manner today? Could it be that grandma still thinks that we who are standing and sitting in front of grandma are already ghosts? ”

Grandma's hand shook, "What nonsense!" ”

Zhirui smiled and shook his head, "That's it," sighed, and said, "In the final analysis, it is because of the isolation of the country that so many people's minds are now shackled, and so many people believe in those nonsense, if these people can go out for a walk and take a good look at the world, maybe the pattern will not be so small." ”

Changshan also sighed heavily, "Yes...... Yes......" A slight smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at his grandmother slightly sideways, "The children have grown up and have their own ideas, let them go, old guys like us can't keep up with the trend of world development." ”

I shook my head and sighed: "Actually, my uncle has been at the forefront of the Qing Dynasty, not that my uncle and grandmother have not kept up with the trend of world development, but that the Qing Dynasty has not kept up with the trend of world development, like Zhirui, like Zhiqi, like Zhijun, if this kind of thing is heard by outsiders, I am afraid that these words will be regarded as deviant, and they will be regarded as outliers, but this difference is good, but many people can't accept it, but Uncle and grandma accepted it so quickly, which is really admirable, This kind of tolerance for new things is not something that ordinary people can do. ”

Grandma took a deep breath and asked me, "Is it good?" ”

I nodded.

Grandma turned sideways again, frowned and asked Ziyu, "Is it really good?" ”

Ziyu also chuckled and said "um".

Grandma secretly pondered for a long time, and then she was a little relieved, "In this case, I will discuss this matter carefully with your uncle later, and then make a decision!" ”

I raised my eyebrows, got up and walked behind my grandmother, gently grabbed her shoulder and said coquettishly: "Grandma, such a good thing, what else is there to worry about, just say yes." ”

Grandma smiled without saying a word, picked up the white porcelain wine glass, and took a sip slowly.

I shook my grandmother's arm again.

Grandma smiled: "If you want to open a restaurant, you must have the principal, but also look at feng shui, find shops, and make dots up and down, I don't know how many things need to be planned, do you think you can open it immediately if you say that you want to open it?" ”

I hurriedly smiled and asked, "Then grandma means yes?" ”

Grandma said "um", "I'm not such a pedantic person, and if the reason is explained clearly, naturally there is nothing to worry about." ”

After the meal, a tail of seven maids lifted the curtain and entered the living room, all holding a delicate gold-patterned small nanmu plate in their hands, and a white porcelain tea cup with a uniform color on it. I took the teacup with the appearance of everyone, uncovered the lid of the teacup, it was soaked in the best dragon well before the rain, a piece of tea in the hot water danced, like a soul in the water swimming, a wisp of white mist rose from the mouth of the cup, accompanied by a quiet and elegant fragrance, a fragrant body, tasted a sip, just put down the teacup, the maid who was standing behind held the gargle again, I also followed the rinse, and then with warm water to the hand, and brought a color celadon teacup, this is the last tea to drink.

Although I have been in ancient times for a while, but today is the first time in these days that I have encountered such a major festival as Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Tatara family gathered together for dinner, I did not expect that there would be such a big rule, if it was placed a few months ago, I would definitely make a fuss on such an occasion today, thinking of this, I sighed softly, and sighed secretly in my heart, so dangerous!

After sitting for a while, the banquet was withdrawn, and the uncle ordered people to put a few barrels of fireworks in the open space in the house, in order to be auspicious for the coming year, through the glass window to see one after another dazzling light flickering in the air, bursting sparks bloomed for a moment, and then sparsely sparsely rushed around, although the ambilight was brilliant, decorating the originally lonely night sky brilliantly, but after all, it was only a thing that was easy to disperse, but it was just a moment of prosperity in front of you.

Because of Chinese New Year's Eve, and because of the negotiation of Zhiqi's affairs, Zhijun, Zhirui, and Zhiqi must be happy in their hearts, and they can't help but drink a few more cups of osmanthus brew, and not long after, the three brothers are drunk and staggering, almost unable to support, and the uncle and grandmother are really helpless in their eyes, so they have to call their respective little houses to help them back to their respective residences carefully, and order them to take good care.

Ziyu and I said goodbye to my uncle and grandmother respectively, and walked out of the living room with Zhijun, Zhirui, and Zhiqi. I looked at the backs of the three of them gradually drifting away and was reluctant, I don't know when the next goodbye will be, after a while, even a trace of shadow can not be seen, and I am willing to return hand in hand with Ziyu with peace of mind.

I was about to go back to Xianting Pavilion and Daoqi Pavilion to rest, with a hook of goose yellow crescent moon above my head, a bowknife-like shape, and then a few sparse simple stars, like a gem inlaid in the heavy night, the surrounding trees stood silently, the shadow was thick, it looked heavy, one by one, making people feel extremely cold, I raised my head and looked at the sparse treetops, there were no leaves, the branches were empty, and the seven points of drunkenness that I originally carried were immediately dispersed for five points, and I shook Ziyu's arm and asked: "Fourth sister, anyway, tonight is the New Year, I can't sleep at all, so why don't you go to my place and sit down, get together and talk, and pass the long night? ”

Ziyu lowered her head and thought about it, and said hesitantly: "But the mother-in-law in my pavilion is very annoying, but she must be found in the middle of the night." ”

I laughed, "What's so difficult about this, I only ordered people to go to the Inagi Pavilion to spread a word first, and then give a few taels of silver to the mother-in-law and eunuchs to let those people go to enjoy themselves, I don't believe that the mother-in-law and eunuchs still have the leisure to care about us for a while!" ”

Ziyu smiled, "That's good." ”

Bai Ge listened to my words, carried the lantern and raised his feet and trotted in the direction of the Inagi Pavilion first, there was no one in front, and the little maid who followed behind hurriedly came up to fill the vacancy and continued to move forward.
