Chapter 146: The Golden Bell Lantern
Hearing Jiang Sunche's voice, the ladies looked at each other.
I only saw Jiang Sun Che walking slowly with his hands behind his back, and there was a crisp and pleasant jingling sound behind him.
"What is this sound? Is it a bell? It doesn't seem to be, but it's a good listen. Zhao Fengdie asked with a wink.
Zhao Fengdie's mother can sing and dance, and she used to sing and dance to suppress Bei'an, so she taught Zhao Fengdie to learn dance and music theory since she was a child.
The other ladies present did not know and could not give her an answer.
But she soon knew.
Behind Jiang Sun Che, Xiang Lifu walked over with a giant octagonal star lantern that was one zhang high and more than one meter wide.
And the jingling sound was the sound of a large string of gold pipes hanging under the starlight.
Eighteen thin hollow gold pipes hung from under the starlight, but they were all of different heights, like a winding mountain road, enclosing a circle, and in the middle of the metal pipes were seven golden bells.
Zhao Fengdie was very interested in this large string of wind chimes and wanted to go over to take a closer look, but she didn't dare to go when she saw Xiang Lifu's intimidating body.
But she really wanted to see it, so she could only push Huang Meiyu over and check the wind chimes several meters away.
"Husband, husband, what kind of musical instrument is this?" Zhao Fengdie stumbled and asked.
"Are you interested?" Jiang Sun Che asked in surprise.
Because Zhao Fengdie has never taken the initiative to talk to herself, this is the first time.
"Hmm." Zhao Fengdie nodded timidly.
"Why are you so interested in this thing?"
Zhao Fengdie was obviously attracted by the wind chimes, and even the shyness and timidity in her bones were suppressed.
"Feng Die is very proficient in music theory, and her dancing skills are also a must, so of course she is interested." Huang Meiyu answered for Zhao Fengdie.
"Oh! But how come I've never seen a butterfly dance? Jiang Sunche said in surprise.
I didn't expect there to be a windfall. ’
"She doesn't dare to dance in front of men anymore, how can you see it." Huang Meiyu said helplessly.
She really likes Zhao Fengdie's little sister, but this little sister's natural timidity makes her very dissatisfied.
'It's good to be happy, why should you care about other people's eyes?' This is what Huang Meiyu often says to Zhao Fengdie.
"So that's the case, then you have to change your problem in the future, it's good not to dance in front of other men, but I'm your husband, you can dance for me." Jiang Sunche said with satisfaction.
When his wife dances, of course, he can only watch himself as a man.
"Don't be poor, tell me what kind of instrument this is." Huang Meiyu said impatiently.
"This is ......," Jiang Sunche pointed to the wind chimes and wanted to introduce.
"Gold!" Gu Jinling exclaimed, startling Jiang Sun Che.
When he looked back, he saw Xiang Lifu shrunk to the side like an aggrieved little daughter-in-law, carrying the star lantern and not daring to move, while Gu Jinling looked at the wind chime in surprise and took a bite in his mouth.
"What pure gold!"
"Hey, hey, don't bite, it's all golden." Jiang Sun Che hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Gu Jinling away, if she was asked to bite it twice, this wind chime would not have to be listened to.
"Is this what I pay back? But didn't you say you had no money? It turns out that you lied to me, and I know that you are not that bad, but why did you beat the gold like this? What a beautiful shape the ingots are. Seeing the gold, the resentment in Gu Jinling's heart completely dissipated, and he happily praised Jiang Sun Che.
"Well, that's, yes, it's for you." Jiang Sun Che said hesitantly.
Xiang Lifu, who had been acting as a stone support, looked at him resentfully.
'Young master, didn't you say that it was only used to fill the scene, and it was returned to me when it was used up tonight? How can you talk doesn't count. ’
That's right, the gold used to make wind chimes and bells was provided by Xiang Lifu.
Jiang Sunche really had no money, so he could only borrow it from Xiang Lifu, and then handed it over to Blacksmith Hu to let him create this string of wind chimes.
"It's not a rush, don't worry, I will pay you back when I have the money in the future." Jiang Sunche gave Xiang Lifu a reassuring look.
Xiang Lifu is bitter in his heart, the boss not only asked him to do private affairs, but also cheated his money, and now he has to act as a scaffold here......
'Are you really bullying honest people?' ’
"There are about thirteen taels of gold here, although it is not much, but I finally saw the money, don't worry, I will write down all the money you paid back to me, and I won't let you pay it back." Gu Jinling patted Jiang Sun Che's arm with satisfaction, and then ......
He took out a ledger and a charcoal pen from his bosom and recorded the gold.
“…… Who would carry a ledger with them? Jiang Sunche complained weakly.
"I will."
Jiang Sun Che shook his head and didn't care about her anymore, Zhao Fengdie next to him was still waiting for him to introduce him.
"This thing is called a wind chime, it's a musical instrument, but it's not just a musical instrument, in a remote place, this thing is used to warn, I feel that this sound is very good, so I hit it." Jiang Sunche gently plucked the wind chimes and made a jingling sound.
"Wind chimes ......" Zhao Fengdie whispered the name.
Gu Jinling and Zhao Fengdie were all interested in the wind chime, only Tao Youqin was interested in this large star lantern, she pointed to the images painted on the star lantern and said, "Husband, this is what you painted?" ”
'This is a serious person, I made this wind chime to embellish, how do you pay attention to it.' ’
"Youqin, come here, can you see who this is?" Jiang Sunche pulled Tao Youqin to the other side of the star lantern and pointed to the person in the painting.
"This is, concubine?" Tao Youqin said with some surprise.
On this side of the octagonal star lantern, a dignified and elegant woman is drawn, except for a little cartoon, which is almost the same as Tao Youqin, and it is also a stick figure technique.
"Eccentric, you know how to pet my sister ......," Qi Ling, who ran over, said deftly.
'It's all fake ladies, why?' Why? Sister Zirui has a clear tone, Jin Ling has a star lamp, and Sister Youqin has a portrait, why don't I have anything? Qi was dexterous and unbalanced, and she completely forgot that Jiang Sunche had told her about the Dream of Red Mansions.
Tao Youqin instantly blushed when she heard her words.
Jiang Sun Che groped Qi's dexterous head twice, "You vinegar jar, you look around the star lantern." ”
Qi Lingdexterity walked around the star lantern, and said as he walked, "Hey, there is Sister Zirui, and you, Sister Meiyu, and Fengdie...... There I am! There's me! ”
She excitedly pointed to the side of the star lantern and said.
It's enough to be careless once, how can I make the same mistake twice in a row." Jiang Sun Che thought with a smile.
Gu Jinling and the others also took their attention off the wind chimes and looked for themselves on the star lanterns.
"It's so cute." Zhao Fengdie said happily.
"Do I usually have this expression?" Huang Meiyu pointed to the starlight and asked coldly.
"Is that how I count money?" On the star lantern, Gu Jinling was painted when he counted the silver tickets, and he looked like he was fascinated by money.
"Aren't you like that?" Qi replied with a grin.
"Nonsense! I'm not for money. Gu Jinling said dissatisfiedly.
"If you don't move for money, we won't have a star lantern to play with today."
Jiang Sunche couldn't help but smile when he watched the ladies talking, "I really hope to leave this warm scene forever." ’
"Alright, alright, don't discuss it, let's put this golden bell lantern in the sky." Jiang Sunche commanded his wives to release star lanterns.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to unload the gold first." Gu Jinling said that he was about to do it.
"What to unload, it won't look good when you unload, stop her."
Huang Meiyu dragged her very obediently this time.
"Don't!" Gu Jinling said anxiously.
But it was too late, Jiang Sun Che and the others had already lit the star lantern.
Soon, the star lantern flew into the sky amid Gu Jinling's shout.
"No !!"
The wind chimes under the star lamp shook for a while, and a pleasant sound came.
"Put it all on, you can't reach it, just listen quietly." Huang Meiyu let go of Gu Jinling.
Gu Jinling jumped several times, but couldn't reach it at all, and finally could only look at the star lantern with his head down.
Jiang Sunche and the seven ladies raised their heads and watched the star lantern slowly drift away, and the unique sound of wind chimes echoed in their ears.
……
"I'm going to be sorry for you for a while, put away the fallen star lanterns, don't let Tai'an City catch fire, and also, take Gu Jinling's golden wind chimes back, otherwise this girl can chase me to the country." Jiang Sun Che's words to himself before leaving are still echoing in Xiang Lifu's ears.
"Why am I so miserable......"
