Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 118 Back to Jinling

The Jinling Museum was officially unveiled amidst the hustle and bustle of the Song and Chen families. There was no dragon or lion dance, and no firecrackers were set off. It opened quietly beside the bustling city.

In addition to displaying the customs and customs of Jinling, some handicrafts transported from Jinling are also sold. In front of each object stands a piece of beautifully made thick cardboard with simple patterns and descriptions, which is very cute.

Lianghexuan opened this store not to make money, but purely to promote Jiangnan products, and the tavern rented this place to Lianghexuan just signed a lease, and charged 100 taels a year for a symbolic rent. It can be said that the investment is not high .

"Ma'am, you really have vision. The surface of this fan is indeed Suzhou embroidery." The little girl who had been trained in advance took two noble ladies to visit the museum.

"My embroiderer is also from Suzhou, why don't she have this skill." One of the ladies held a folding fan and couldn't put it down.

The little girl explained: "This is the handicraft of Suzhou Lu's embroiderer."

"The Lu family? If it's their family, it's naturally incomparable..." The two seem to be sisters, and they seem to be very interested in these delicate little objects.

"Do you sell this fan?"

"The one in your hand is not for sale, do you have the other two who want to see it?"

So the three of them walked towards the second floor talking and laughing.

Well, most of the scenery Cheng Fu brought from Jinling sold out in a day, and this was the case when each person was only allowed to buy one item.She wonders if people in Beijing are so short of consumption scenes?But if the decoration is better, the table setting is more exquisite, and the quality of the things is guaranteed, no matter whether it is practical or not, it will soon be out of stock.Or is it only the property under her name that has this phenomenon.

Suddenly a shrill cry interrupted her thoughts.

I saw the tall man knelt and cried bitterly in front of a set of leather goods, kowtowed non-stop, and beside him a little girl about three or four years old was frightened and at a loss, stood beside him rubbing her little hands, and asked her father what she was doing with her mouth pursed. up.

"Father, mother, the son is not filial, the son is wrong..." He cried very sadly, and the tourists present couldn't help but feel moved.

A gray-haired old lady walked over to help him up, "Oh, young man, you can't be loud here." It's bad luck for you to be like this when they just opened.

The man also realized that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly apologized to Lu Qing, who was beside him with a concerned face. He knew that the other party was the manager here.

"Actually...to be honest, I am from Jinling, and the family of three in this painting is..." He couldn't help crying again as he spoke.

The old lady was surprised, "Is this your parents and you?"

He nods crying.

Cheng Fu immediately looked at the painting. She remembered that an aunt on Shuimen Street asked the painter to draw it like this.He said that his son has been in Beijing for many years and has not heard from him, and he and his husband have bad legs and feet, so they can't find him. Making these leather goods is to earn some money for the family, and second, maybe his son can see it.

The meaning conveyed by the two elders in the painting is that they wish their sons to live well, and that they can write letters to them no matter what happens, and go back to Jinling when they are free.

At that time, Ding Yixuan lamented about the experience of the two elders. Cheng Fu only felt that they were pitiful, but he didn't think that his dream could be realized.After all, the capital is too big, and there are too many people, and there is no news for so many years, who knows if he is no longer in the capital, or the person has passed away.

Thinking about it now, I was too pessimistic.

In the painting, when the family of three was still young, the child held a bunch of candied haws and opened his mouth to laugh. The men and women behind him looked at the child while they were working, with satisfied smiles on their faces.At the bottom of the picture, there are a few lines of small characters, including the names and addresses of a family of three, as well as the uncle and aunt's understanding of leather products.

The reason why this crying man just now has not been heard from for so many years is not because he doesn't want to go back, but because he has no face to go back.

Nine years ago, he came to the capital to study with all his parents' savings, but the wealth of the capital quickly made him lost. Not only did he spend all his money quickly, but he also developed bad habits. In the end, the academy couldn't accommodate him, and he had to drop out of school. earn a living.Now he works as a clerk on the pier, married a wife and gave birth to a daughter.It’s just that life has not improved, and he still rents a house. After his wife gave birth to a child, he was in poor health and couldn’t work to earn subsidies. The family of three depended on the meager income he made as a clerical worker.

Yesterday he went to the vegetable market to buy meat, passing the bustling "Youjian Tavern" in the past, he accidentally discovered that it had become a "Jinling Style Museum", and there was a notice board at the door that said the tavern was moving.

He looked at the new signboard for a long time without moving, and then took advantage of half a day's rest today, so he came here with his daughter in his arms.I didn't expect to see the leather goods made by my parents, and my parents' longing for him.

"Your parents are not in good health, especially your father is plagued by old illnesses and has limited mobility. If you don't go back to see them, you may never see them again in this life." Wen Xiang shouted at him filled with righteous indignation.She is very familiar with the neighbors on Watergate Street, and knows almost every family, and she knows the situation of this person's parents best.

Someone next to me heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "Go back and have a look, mother's love can't be repaid, what more can you ask for in life."

The old lady was also very moved, she wiped the corners of her eyes, "Take the child and come out with me." As she spoke, she walked out surrounded by maidservants.The man didn't know why, so he picked up his daughter and followed her out.

Cheng Fu didn't care about the follow-up, she felt that although the capital is good, it may not be suitable for everyone.Jinling is as prosperous as it is, and there are also many opportunities. If you fail to study, try to do something else. As long as you work hard and use your brain, don't aim too high, and you can't live your life anywhere.

Lianghexuan, Dahe Theater, small tavern, Qingliangzhai Inn, Zhuangzi, the land... After all the matters were sorted out, Cheng Fu ordered people to pack their luggage and prepare to leave for Jinling.There are still a lot of things waiting for her over there.The most important thing is that she is homesick. There are her little brother and her husband, as well as her friends who are exhausted.

"Song Guanshi wants you to stay and help him." He sorted out the partially written manuscript and handed it to Jiujiu.

Lu Qing was flattered, "Then I have to thank him well."

"What do you think about yourself?"

Lu Qing didn't hesitate, "Anyway, I have to come back with you in the future." Now that Lianghexuan's focus is on Jiangnan, he plans to learn more, so that he can be on his own before going to Beijing to show his strength.

Cheng Fu sent him out angrily.So Wu Ying has to follow, Qian Shan has to follow, Ma Xiaodong has to follow, and he has to follow. Cheng Fu has a feeling that the battle when he comes back in two years is probably the same as dragging his family.

The day before departure, she made a special trip to Xu's residence to bid farewell to Xu Ze.Xu Ze told her not to investigate the matter of Director Dong of the Ministry of War, and would send a letter to Jinling if there was a final result.She is naturally obedient.

Xu Xiaoba had noticed her when she entered the gate, and followed her all the way to the boundary of Wufang. When she got back, she hurriedly pestered Xu Ze to ask who the elder sister was. Although she was dressed plainly, she couldn't hide her beauty. .

"Your sixth sister-in-law."

"!"

On the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, the convoy passed the boundary marker of Jinling in a mighty way, thinking that they would be returning home soon, and the exhausted people were full of anticipation.The scenery looked fresh for the first two days, but the scenery along the road was similar, plus the swaying carriage, it was torture.

"Xu...Master Xu..." came the driver's surprised voice.

Cheng Fu bit the tip of the pen, held his newly written manuscript, frowned and read it over and over again to see if there was any logical error.Hearing this sound, the whole person floated up.

Although the carriage can hold a lot of people, the space will definitely be cramped, so Cheng Fu cannot lie down, so Wen Xiang took the initiative to go down and change to the carriage behind, and as soon as she got out, she opened the curtain alone and brought the summer wind stepped in.
