Chapter 42: Where the lights are dim

Views:

Why are there seven crystal chandeliers? It's simple, they were given away! A total of 22 crystal chandeliers were made, 10 of which were given to the Hai people; the best one was given to the emperor, and the rest, one for Li Xian's family, one for Yuan Zhao, one for Shangguan Yong, and one for Zhang Quan's family. In the end, there were only seven left.

But even if there are only seven left, after hanging them in a row, they are still dazzling, as if the rainbow in the sky was plucked. Seven colored lights, just seven colors left, are arranged in the brilliance of a rainbow.

The auction has not started yet, it’s just a lantern show; all the lanterns brought by Li Xian are arranged in an orderly manner, making the industrial expo at night full of colorful lights.

Seeing these new lanterns, many wealthy businessmen have begun discussing purchasing them. Whether for their own use or for resale, they are very good items.

"The colored lanterns of Brilliant Star Trading Company are just great. Both the brilliance and the workmanship are very good."

"Yes, yes, and the price is fair. I plan to buy a few lanterns and put them in the living room; they can light up at night and serve as works of art during the day."

“It’s just a little expensive…”

"If you think it's too expensive, you can use an ordinary jade lamp! Expensive? Is this price expensive? It's obviously very suitable! Look at those glass prisms, how pure and brilliant. This is a work of art, how can it be measured by money."

Everyone was discussing very enthusiastically, only the people of the Wang family looked unhappy; they didn't want their thousands of calculations to be no match for Li Xian's simple and effective means! A loom tied the emperor firmly to Li Xian's chariot. Once the crystal chandelier came out, the Wang family's colored lanterns became street goods.

To be precise, the Wang family did not know that what really moved the emperor was not the textile machine, but the strategies that Li Xian said, which was the most important thing. But in any case, the Wang family did fail this time, and was completely defeated.

The children around didn't care about this. They played happily among the lanterns. Many children from ordinary families had never seen such a beautiful scene. There were also many young girls wandering around here, enjoying this short, colorful dream.

However, the joyful atmosphere is bound to produce some unexpected events, especially in this crowded environment.

With a loud crash, a one-meter-tall colored lantern fell down, and broken glass fragments scattered all over the ground. After the colored lantern flickered stubbornly for a few times, it finally went out.

Needless to say, everyone's instinct to watch the fun immediately came back to life and they gathered around to watch.

"I just saw this lantern. It's in the shape of a beautiful lotus flower. It's worth 58 taels of silver."

"It's so expensive. Who broke it? How dare you cause trouble at the industrial exposition granted by His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Shh, Li Xian is here, it's going to be fun."

A lantern was suddenly knocked down, which naturally attracted Li Xian's attention. Everyone made way for Li Xian to pass unimpeded.

At first glance, Li Xian saw a child of eight or nine years old, standing in the debris in a daze and at a loss, his hands and feet were cut by broken glass, and his clothes were also a little damaged.

“Wow…” The child immediately started crying when he saw Li Xian coming.

Li Xian looked at the crowd of onlookers and squatted in front of the child. "It's okay. It's just a lantern. Come, let me see your injury."
