Yang Lianqi went not to Liudu Street, but to Chenjia Lane.

The Chen family's Hongyuan Fang has also been opened, the huge store, with four doors open in front, and the guys have just done the cleaning and are putting out the paper kites.

The most conspicuous thing hanging by the door is their signboard, the hard-winged sand swallow paper kite at the bottom of the pot, not only the bottom of the blue pot, but also the bottom of the black pot.

The Chen family only makes hard wings, except for sand swallows, eagles, phoenixes, and butterflies are very good, there are also flowers, fish and insects, the coloring is light and light, and the color collision is strong.

Yang Lianqi stood in the middle of the hall, seeing the guys coming and going hurriedly beside him, busy with their work, seeing that the paper kites were hung up one by one, and the empty white wall gradually showed a piece of splendor, which was incomparably colorful in his eyes.

He suddenly felt the vitality in the fireworks in the world, which was so bright.

As soon as Chen Shenghong entered the door, he saw him at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Brother Yang, why are you here, there is still a cold wind outside in the morning, is your body okay?" ”

He shook his head: "It's okay, I came to Brother Chen for an important matter." ”

Chen Shenghong let him sit down in the inner hall and handed over a cup of tea: "What's the matter?" ”

"I got married the day before yesterday, can Brother Chen have an impression of the peony paper kite brought by the insider?"

The other party nodded: "At that time, the two of you were facing each other, I don't think it's easy to be impressed, not to mention, Brother Yang gave up my carefully designed phoenix crown paper kite and chose the peony, I will naturally pay attention to it, but ......" But he was far away at the time, so he couldn't take a closer look.

"So many people are looking at her, she is a woman, I can't save her face, Brother Chen, please forgive me." Yang Lianqi arched his hand.

Chen Shenghong said: "Brother Yang, don't worry, I'm not such a cautious person. ”

He coughed lightly, obviously not agreeing with his words, after all, the two had known each other for a long time.

However, even if this person is cautious, he also has a dignified and heroic face, but he will not break the friendship between the two because of a paper kite, Yang Lianqi finished coughing, and continued: "Brother Chen, that peony paper kite, I look a little familiar. ”

"Oh?"

"I looked at it...... I always think of the Mu family. His voice lowered, "The Mu family, the head of the four major factions of the paper kite, the Mu family that was beheaded by the whole house twenty years ago!" Back then, the head of the Mu family won the title of court paper kite artist with a peony paper kite, and then ......"

"Then the crime was beheaded all over the house, and the peony paper kite has been lost, and now you think it has appeared again." Chen Shenghong continued, and was a little puzzled, "There are many people who follow the Mu faction, how can we be sure that the paper kite is from the Mu family?" ”

"I can't be sure, but I have to suspect that there are rumors that the descendants of the Mu family have not been ambushed, and according to the age, that Luo girl is in line." Yang Lianqi said, "Brother Chen doesn't pay attention at all, this Mu family and your Chen family still have some origins." ”

Chen Shenghong immediately sneered: "Hmph, the Mu family at that time made the entire paper kite art suppressed, and it has not recovered for so many years, how many artists in this line have been forced to make a living, my Chen family has survived all these years, and barely lost the hard work of the ancestors, but there are also many difficulties, all of which are due to the Mu family, what is the origin?" ”

He turned his head, looked at the person in front of him and continued: "Moreover, if you talk about the origin, isn't your Yang family even worse? ”

"Isn't it?" Yang Lianqi sneered, "My Yang family is one of those who was forced to change their livelihood, but this is really not a source, I have to say, it is also a debt." ”

Chen Shenghong sighed with his words, when the art of paper kite was still at its peak, there was also a place for his Yang family among the four major factions, but since the death of Yang Lianqi's parents, the Yang family has changed to other businesses.

And Yang Lianqi's parents died because of the Mu family.

Indeed, this is a debt of iniquity.

When Yang Lianqi saw the peony paper kite and Luo Changqing, he couldn't help but evoke this debt, but the dilemma was that the Luo girl had a very tight tone, and he couldn't be sure of her identity.

So he had to come to Chen Shenghong.

It stands to reason that Chen Shenghong should care more about Luo Changqing's identity than him.

But the person in front of him was much more indifferent than he imagined, Chen Shenghong only pressed his shoulder and comforted: "Brother Yang, don't worry, no matter who she is, just tell her not to stay in Weiyuan County." ”

He was stunned, this was not the intention, he stepped forward: "Brother Chen is not going to find out her origin?" ”

"I don't really want to." The other party said calmly.

He was a little confused, he only said that he had run for nothing, and wanted to go home, but after thinking about it, he said: "Brother Chen, if you are bad behind your back, it is really against the style of a gentleman." ”

"What did you think of me?" Chen Shenghong replied, "You and I have known each other since childhood, do you think I am that kind of person, but ......" He paused for a moment and hooked the corners of his mouth, "Do you do business, you have your own success or failure, the Double Ninth Festival is coming, and it is the day of the Thousand Kite Competition, if her Changqingzhai is at the bottom of the competition, naturally no one will patronize it, and the business here can't continue, won't she want to leave Weiyuan County?" ”

"How can you be sure she'll be at the bottom...... In the past, the Thousand Mandarin Duck Competitions were judged by the county order, and the county order has always been fair, not to mention, I don't approve of unfair judgments because of selfishness. ”

"Brother Yang." Chen Shenghong shook his head, "Am I really so unbearable in your eyes, I said that she will be at the bottom, not to take any other means, because I have confidence in my paper kite in Hongyuanfang, and almost all other small workshops in Weiyuan County are opened after learning from me, in other words, I have confidence in the craftsmanship of the Chen School, and I will never lose to a Changqingzhai of unknown origin." ”

Yang Lianqi was relieved, and then he was about to say goodbye, and walked out of the hall, when the wind blew into his clothes outside the door, he couldn't help coughing twice.

Chen Shenghong listened, and suddenly became not very happy: "Sick seedling, your cousin has stirred up the entire bamboo business in Weiyuan County, and I don't see you say a few words, and I haven't done anything, you have been teaching me a lesson today, and your heart is too biased, right?" ”

Yang Lianqi wrapped his coat tightly and replied softly: "That's because Brother Chen will listen to my sick son." ”

"Then if I tell you a few words, will you listen?"

He stood still: "What does Brother Chen have to teach you?" ”

"Do you really want your Yang family's business to fall into the hands of outsiders?"

He was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "It's all the Yang family, how can it be regarded as falling into the hands of outsiders?" ”

The other party had no choice but to roll his eyes: "Look, you want me to listen to you, but you don't listen to my words, so ...... Brother Yang let's go, don't send it. After he finished speaking, he arched his hand perfunctorily, turned and went into the house.

Yang Lianqi shook his head secretly and walked back slowly.

Sick and weak, life is short, why fight for anything?

He caught the wind and returned to the Aroma Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qianqian was waiting for him at the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing that he was intact, Shen Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and walked in with him, looking at him constantly.

He was looked at uncomfortably: "Husband...... Miss Shen, what's the matter with you? ”

"I'm afraid that something will happen to you, do you feel uncomfortable?" Shen Qianqian said.

"It's fine."

"That's fine, you don't have to be like yesterday again, or I'll be scared to death." Shen Qianqian caressed her heart, "Even though I have no affection for you, I feel that life is really precious, that is, I am not afraid of being a surviving person, and I don't want to see you disappear at such an age, you better take good care of yourself, go out in the future, try not to go out alone, if you ...... The subordinates are not accompanied, you look for me, and I will accompany you out. ”

She swore by it and was arrogant.

Yang Lianqi's breath suddenly stagnated, and he looked at her silently, and was stabbed by the words "surviving".

He could have been born all at once, but there is still a person here, a wife he married in a sedan chair, what will this person do in the future?

He was caught up in such a puzzle that he had to think deeply.

Later, for more than half a month, he didn't go out again, and Shen Qianqian just didn't need to accompany him.

Until the Chung Yeung Festival, the day of resignation.

Not only them, but most of the people in Weiyuan County have gone out.

They were clustered outside the city, with the winding water flowing in front of them and the bamboo sea rising behind them.

The red dogwoods on the heads of women and children are dotted with a piece of autumn air, and the scholars fan the incense sachets filled with the voices of people coming and going.

Paper kite art has been suppressed by the imperial court for so many years, although the current eyes are closed, but the folk activities on the paper kite have been very few, Weiyuan County is a special case, the county order Li Lord to support the paper kite artist, every year the Double Ninth Festival will hold a thousand kite competition, invite the paper kite workshops inside and outside the county to participate in the competition, and provide free refreshments and gadgets as gifts to the people who come to watch.

The people are happy to participate, the refreshment gifts are provided by the rich businessmen in Weiyuan County, who has more money, will print the name of the store on the box of the gift, which is conducive to the promotion of business, and the businessmen have always been eager for this kind of activity, scrambling.

In order to increase the fame, the paper kite workshop naturally has to seize this opportunity, and some of them have begun to prepare a month ago, from the design and selection of materials to the production are extremely attentive, in order to be able to shine in the competition.

It's just that in the last two years, everyone's interest has not been as good as before.

Because almost every year, the rubbings on the gift box are all Yang's bamboo, and the first place in the competition is Chenjia Hongyuanfang.

In terms of money, those who are doing business are not as good as the Yang family.

On the competition, Chen Shenghong is right, almost all the artists in the nearby paper kite workshop are from Hongyuanfang.

It's not that simple, not to mention that the blue is not necessarily going to win the old club on this occasion, after all, when the business is not as big as the Chen family, the face still has to be taken care of.

Therefore, in the past two years, the other contributors and contestants have been too lazy to take it seriously, as long as the money arrives, the result is the same anyway, and the paper kites of the contestants are almost all done casually, and they can't win Hongyuanfang anyway.

In this way, Changqingzhai is destined to be unable to reach the bottom.
