The Immortal Road of Rebirth

Chapter 21 Picking Red Dressing Box (1)
Under the expectant eyes of everyone in the Ye family, and even under the deliberate seduction of some people, Xiaoxiao maintained an unmoving attitude.Looking around at the various objects in front of him, he analyzed the hopes expressed by his family members for his future through the objects.

"The objects themselves are precious, and the meaning is naturally beautiful. Which one should you choose?" Xiaoxiao thought.

Looking around, his eyes stopped on grandma's dressing box.

The vanity box is red.Rich and bright red, the color is not drifting, not miscellaneous.Exuding a solemn, noble atmosphere.The surface of the box is carved with a graceful peony pattern.

However, what attracts Xiaoxiao is not the beauty of the box itself, but the strange breath it reveals.

Subconsciously, Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and used her soul to sense.Slowly, I felt the vicissitudes and heavy breath emanating from the box.

Xiaoxiao understood: this breath comes from the precipitation of time and orderly inheritance.This is the unique atmosphere of antiques.

And this kind of breath makes Xiaoxiao's soul feel very comfortable and kind, and it seems to have some kind of resonance with Xiaoxiao's soul.

Opening his eyes, Xiaoxiao climbed to the dressing box without hesitation, and hugged the box tightly in his arms.Then, she innocently looked at her family with her big watery eyes.

Xiaoxiao's choice drew bursts of shouts.

Grandma's ecstasy: Good girl chose her own thing!

Grandma is regretful but relieved: at least it means that she will become a beautiful and elegant lady.

The rest wait: how is it possible?My stuff is better, okay?
At the same time, there is also a rational analysis of the little uncle who refuses to admit defeat:
According to scientific research, the main things that attract children's attention include sound, color and smell.

The reason why Grandma Ye won is because the color of the box is bright red, and red is an important factor that can attract the baby's attention.So we lose the color, not the gift itself and what it stands for, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Grandma gently hugged Xiaoxiao, who still held the dressing box tightly.Looking at the dressing box in her granddaughter's arms, grandma smiled with relief and nostalgia, and slowly told the story of the box to her family:
"This dressing box was originally my grandmother's dowry, something handed down from her family. Grandma's ancestors were officials and officials, so the things are naturally good. Later, I didn't give it to my aunt or my mother, but gave it to me. .In my generation, my grandmother loved me the most."

"When I was a lady at home, there were combs, rouge, etc., as well as French perfumes from foreign countries, which were very popular in our time."

Speaking of this, grandma looked up at grandpa with a happy smile:

"Did your grandfather use this kind of thing to coax me?"

Grandma's words brought back memories of Grandpa's youth:

"That's right, back then your grandma was a famous lady in Shanghai, and I don't know how many people missed her."

Grandma glared at Grandpa and continued:

"Later, your grandfather joined the revolution, and I ran away from home and went to your grandfather. The day before I left home, my grandmother called me into her room, took out her precious jewelry from her jewelry box, and gave me this dressing The box is full, and it is said that it is a poor family's way of getting rich, so let me put it away."

Grandma Ye, who was caught in the memory, gradually choked up, and the atmosphere eased, before continuing:
"After I ran to your grandfather, the funds for the revolutionary work were tight. Slowly, I donated all the jewelry. I was reluctant to sell this dressing box. I kept it until today. When I saw it, I thought of my grandmother. It's a pity that she missed me even before she left, so she couldn't take a look at her in the end."
