The store was reorganized, and business was tepid, but there were some.

Weiyuan County has a large family to marry a daughter, according to local customs, on the day of the wedding, the groom's family outside the tent to hang the blessing paper kite, similar to the red silk red candle to add a festive atmosphere, this prayer paper kite by the bride handed over to the husband's hands, do not ask how to fly, just watch, generally customized, depending on the estimated price given by the customer to decide the material.

This kind of business, since it can't fall on the head of Changqing Zhai, the groom's family doesn't have to think about it, and went straight to the Chen family Hongyuanfang, the Chen family is familiar with these things, they have a fixed mold and process, basically no special ideas, generally butterfly-shaped big red background paper kite, painted green watermelon, meaning melon, prosper, the difference is only the skeleton and the masked material, at most including the quality of the paint painted on the mask.

Hongyuanfang is next to the Chen family's house, because the shop is large, there must be a place for apprentices and workers to work, can not be placed on the main street of Liudu Street, the main street of the county, where it is located, the original place is large and empty, itself is not a street, and there is no name, because the Chen family has been revitalized, and the people directly call this street Chenjia Lane.

Lu Fengming loves to run to Chen's Lane, this time he ran and brought back a little gossip, saying that the daughter of the big family has a high vision, don't "melons and melons", the groom's family gave enough money, and the Chen family redesigned it, which is bound to be different from others, so this time the blessing paper kite was personally produced by the Chen family's shopkeeper.

"The shopkeeper of the Chen family?" Luo Changqing asked, "Which one?" ”

"It's Chen Shenghong's shopkeeper." Lu Fengming replied, "Hongyuanfang has always been in charge of this eldest prince. ”

Luo Changqing nodded, a little distracted.

Xiaofeng said again: "It is said that this master of the Shen family is one of the richest businessmen in Weiyuan County, and only Miss Shen has a daughter, so the Shen family picks and chooses, and dragged Miss to her twenties before leaving the cabinet, but she still marries a sick man, I don't know what to think." ”

"Miss Shen?" These words made a few people next to them puzzled, "Is it the Miss Shen we know?" ”

The "blind" lady who came to help them a while ago?

"Isn't that her?" Lu Fengming was also present that day.

But isn't it the young master Yang that everyone has a crush on, is there no afterword, why did you get married?

Meng Xun thought for a while, patted his head, and suddenly realized: "No wonder, when you mentioned Young Master Yang that day, Master, she was unhappy, and she was going to marry someone else, and she couldn't be sad because she loved her." ”

He caught the clue, he was not very proud, and said to the person next to him: "You say, with her family background and appearance, is it not enough to match Young Master Yang, is it possible that the Yang family still doesn't look down on it?" ”

"Young Master Yang is 'notorious', no matter how big the family business is, what's good, it may not be that the Yang family can't look down on it, maybe the Shen family can't look down on it." Lu Ling said, "Maybe Miss Shen has a marriage contract for a long time, although love is uncontrollable from the heart, but in reality, there is always a body that can't help herself." ”

"What is a marriage contract?" Meng Xun has been used to being free since he was a child, and the rules and contracts are equivalent to waste paper in his eyes, at this time, he shook his head, "All marriage contracts that are not married are empty words, resist if you should resist, and if you don't admit it, you don't recognize it, what's the matter, do you just put yourself next to someone you don't love for the rest of your life, so how do you live in this life, Yue Lan, do you say what I said is right?" ”

Yue Lan nodded solemnly: "Yes." ”

"Huh?" Meng Xun just asked casually, it was the first time that this senior brother stood on his side without thinking, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.

"Therefore, this Miss Shen is not only 'blind', but also 'blind'." Meng Xun made a final statement, "If you want me to see, she ...... Master, what are you pulling me for, you want me to say it...... Master, why do you keep pulling me? ”

His words were scattered, and it wasn't until Luo Changqing gave him a third look that he finally realized and slowly turned back.

I saw Miss Shen, who was "blind and blind", standing by the door, looking at him.

He was startled and secretly asked the people around him, "When did she come and hear me?" ”

Yue Lan and Lu Ling looked up at the roof, pretending not to know him.

He had no choice but to smile awkwardly at Miss Shen twice, and thought to himself: But don't hear it.

Miss Shen on the other side nodded politely and smiled back: "Since it is a marriage contract, there are constraints in it, how can you not recognize it?" ”

It turned out that she had heard it from here, Meng Xun was embarrassed.

Luo Changqing relieved him and stepped forward to greet the guests, and Miss Shen took her hand and said softly: "Last time, I hit it off with my sister at first sight, and I need to carry a prayer paper kite when I get married. ”

"Didn't I hear that the Chen family was already doing it, and this time the shopkeeper Chen Shenghong personally participated in the design?"

"I went to them first, I deliberately made it difficult, even if the shopkeeper Chen did it himself, no matter what he did, I was not satisfied." Miss Shen's words carried a hint of anger.

Luo Changqing could see that she couldn't make the decision in her own marriage, so she wanted to vent her anger with some small things, and deliberately came to her, but ...... It doesn't work after all.

If this prayer paper kite is made according to the money that the groom's family is willing to pay, it is not cheap, and the value of art is not limited, and she thought that this Miss Shen's move is equivalent to Changqingzhai cutting off the Chen family's business.

She decided to refuse the business, and felt that it was inconvenient to talk about it here, so she invited the other party upstairs to her room.

After letting the tea, she was about to speak, but Miss Shen caught a glimpse of something, suddenly rejoiced, got up and walked to the curtain next to the bed, raised her sleeves and tapped: "This paper kite is so beautiful."

The one who was hanging at the head of the bed was a peony paddle paper kite, which Luo Changqing brought all the way from his hometown.

She secretly said that it was not good, so it was better to speak first: "Miss Shen, this is the ...... left by my father."

"My maiden name is Qianqian, and my sister can just call me by my name." Shen Qianqian interrupted carelessly, and didn't hear her words clearly, "I liked this paper kite very much as soon as I saw it, I want to buy this, how much does it cost?" ”

"It's not about money......"

"My father and mother forced me to marry the notorious sick son of the Yang family for the sake of business, I can't choose, but I can always choose the one I like, right?" Shen Qianqian bit her lip and said, "I just don't want them to make decisions for me in this matter, sister, even if you make a price, I will decide this paper kite, and I will pay as much as I want!" ”

Luo Changqing was helpless, she couldn't give it with an iron heart, but she said that a lifelong event is just like this once in her life, and she was a little soft-hearted.

But, wait a minute, what did she just say, Yang family?

"Is it the Yang family who does the bamboo business?"

"Yes, I want to marry the eldest young master of the Yang family who instructed his subordinates to smash your shop last time." Shen Qianqian didn't have a good airway.

"This ......" Luo Changqing only said that the previous guesses were reversed, it seemed that Shen Qianqian was not in love, she actually hated that Young Master Yang.

Also, that "evil boy" is actually a sick seedling, what's going on?

Shen Qianqian sighed, and said: "I made a marriage contract last year, and Weiyuan County is so big, although I haven't passed the door, both sides have regarded me as half of the Yang family, including myself, and I have to admit this identity, the last time I met their family, I was embarrassed by you, as the master, I naturally have to come forward." ”

"I see." Luo Changqing nodded, looking at the gloomy look of the person in front of him, and his heart softened, this world is like this, the more women in the blessed door of everyone, the more they can't help themselves in marriage, on the contrary, ordinary people still have some opportunities to choose.

She felt sorry for her and was helpless, full of unbearable, so she had to dispel the intention before entering the door, and handed the peony paper kite to Shen Qianqian: "Since you like it, I'll give it to you, but ......"

I also want to explain that this paper kite is some years old, it is best not to take it out, but when I think about it, the prayer paper kite in the marriage was originally hung in the room, and no one took it out to put it, but there is no need to remind it.

A few days later, the Yang family married a wife, the Shen family married a daughter, it was dusk, the sun went and the yin came, the sedan chair passed from north to south from Liudu Street, the greeting team was crowded with the long street, and the people on both sides automatically gave way to the road, listening to the noise of gongs and drums, and the silk strings were around the ears.

The groom's official Yang Lianqi rode to the front, wearing a red gauze and black boots, he thought he was a perverse and domineering person, but just looking at his appearance, he was still Sven, and since he said that he was sick, if he looked closely, this face was indeed slightly whiter than ordinary people.

Shen Qianqian couldn't see it in the sedan chair, so she didn't have a good face without thinking about it, but this Yang Lianqi didn't seem to be very happy, sitting upright on a tall horse, with a gloomy face, as if she was not marrying a wife, but going to the execution ground.

Fortunately, the laughter and noise around him were very lively, and his expression did not have much effect, this greeting array was big, and it was dark until the sky was dark, so he walked through Liudu Street and turned into the gate of Yang's house.

The people dispersed one after another, some of them had been invited to the banquet in advance, and they went to the door to say goodbye, and the others went back to their respective homes, only Lu Fengming loved to join in the fun, even if there was no post, it did not prevent him from squeezing over to watch.

He hugged the Yang family, watched the bride get off the sedan chair, with blue sleeves and dresses, not covering her knees, only covering her face with a fan, walking slowly past the felt mat, and saluting to the high hall in front of the green house.

Yang Lianqi's parents have passed away, and his aunt Li is in the high hall, and she also helped set up this marriage.

After the ceremony, there was nothing to look at, sitting in the tent and drinking together did not allow outsiders to participate, and no one was left to eat anyway, Lu Fengming was about to go home.

However, something suddenly went wrong over there, causing him to stop and look back.

It's not a big deal, it's just that the Yang family wants to hand over the paper kite made by Hongyuanfang to the bride, which should have been handed by the bride to the groom official, but the bride didn't take it, but took the peony paper kite from her maid and handed it out.

For a while, the faces of the two families were not good-looking, and the aunt of the Yang family was stubborn, and she had to give the bride a dismount, so she was stunned not to ask her to give in, and she was bound to hand over the paper kites of Hongyuanfang to her.

Hongyuanfang's paper kite is actually very good-looking, Chen Shenghong is ingenious, changing the fixed mode of praying for the paper kite in the past, imitating the phoenix crown to make a big red paper kite with two wings and a crested head, and a red tassel is added under it.

But Shen Qianqian refused to give in, she took the peony paper kite given to her by Luo Changqing, held it in front of Yang Lianqi, did not squint, and regarded the subordinates next to her as nothing.

Yang Lianqi stared at the peony paper kite, and didn't react for a while, Shen Qianqian kept holding it, and the Yang family next to him received an instruction to hold the phoenix crown paper kite all the time.

The three of them fell into a silent stalemate, and although the people around them were smiling, they also felt the undercurrent that was not very festive.

Yang Lianqi saw that the peony paper kite is as its name, the shape is the peony of the country, the pink and red are intertwined into petals, the delicate yellow flower core, and the transparent dewdrops, the peony into the painting is not difficult for the Danqing master, but to make a paper kite, each petal is a contour frame, and its workmanship procedure is much more difficult than the common double-winged paper kite.

And of course, once the difficult things are made, they are as amazing as they are in front of them.

It's just that the amazement in Yang Lianqi's eyes was fleeting, and then there was a hint of surprise.
