Feast of Flowers

Chapter 23: Don't think too much

Views:

The car drove outside the somewhat dilapidated alley again. The water on the ground was not dry yet. Pei Yan got out of the car silently and walked downstairs with Hua Jin.

"Mr. Pei, thank you for today." The man who was silently following behind her became quiet in the night, the pride in his eyes also turned into a moon shadow by the lake, and there was a bit of peace of mind in the tranquility.

"Who told me to be unlucky, I always encounter things like you." Pei Yan waved his hand lazily, "Let's go."

He stopped when he reached the alley, and turned around to see Hua Jin still standing there: "Won't you give me the gas fee for the transfer tonight?"

"No more." Hua Jin smiled and raised his eyebrows, "We are both so familiar with each other that we can be considered friends even if we round them up. It hurts our feelings to take a friend's car and pay the gas bill."

The first time I heard that being a friend can be rounded up, Pei Yan was too lazy to correct her: "In order not to pay the gas bill, you can find so many reasons. You are considered a talent."

Hua Jin smiled innocently.

Watching Pei Yan leave, when Hua Jin walked to the second floor, she suddenly remembered that Pei Yan asked her to taste the dishes, why didn't she ask her when she came out

Was fascinated to think. A figure walked out of the corridor, so scared that she almost screamed: "Grandma Chen?"

It's almost ten o'clock in the evening, the old lady doesn't sleep, come out to play scary

"I saw it." Old lady Chen said with a smile, "That young man is really handsome, he is much better looking and has a better eye than the boy who was introduced to you."

Hua Jin smiled helplessly: "Grandma Chen, that's just a friend of mine."

"Yes, yes, don't young people all start with ordinary friends?" Grandma Chen nodded again and again, "I understand."

Hua Jin: "… "

What do you always know

"The bottle of bean paste you gave me last time was delicious, and the fried dishes were particularly fragrant." Seeing Hua Jin, Mrs. Chen was reluctant to say more, she just thought she was shy and stuffed a bottle of self-made fermented bean curd into the flowers. Jinshou said, "Take this back and try it. If you like it, come and get it from me again."

"Thank you, Grandma Chen." Hua Jin didn't refuse. She was very familiar with most of the tenants in the building. She usually shared some seasonings or side dishes she made with each other, and her life was quite lively.

When they got to the fourth floor, the lights in Sister Qin's house were still on, and Hua Jin guessed that her children might still be doing their homework. As soon as he took out the key and was about to open the door of the house, the door of Sister Qin's house opened, and the person who came out was not Sister Qin, but a young boy with a cut board inch and black-rimmed glasses.

"You, hello." He saw Hua Jin, his eyes a little shy and dodged.

"Hello." Hua Jin unlocked the door, held the door with her hand, and took two steps back towards the door's opening, "What's the matter with you?"

"Xiaohua, are you back from get off work?" Sister Qin leaned out from behind the door, gave her distant nephew a somewhat embarrassed look, and pushed him into the room, "You are very tired after a day's work, go back early to rest ."

Seeing Sister Qin's embarrassed expression, Hua Jin guessed that this boy might be a distant relative of Sister Tuoqin's matchmaking last time. She pretended that nothing had happened, pushed the door into the house, locked the door, Throw yourself on the couch.

What's the matter.

After she was completely quiet, Hua Jin had the energy to think about what happened today. After a long time, she sighed, now that traditional handicrafts have gradually declined, she is afraid that in the long run, many things will gradually disappear with the passage of time.

When I opened Weibo, the Weibo that had been lively for a few days a few days ago gradually returned to its former quietness.

After posting the photo of Tan Yuan's lacquer plate and bracelet on Weibo, Hua Jin couldn't help expressing one more emotion.

Flowers: Lacquerware is not only difficult to find successors, but also difficult to find lacquer trees. The lacquerware made by a friend is not only gorgeous, but also has a fine luster. She has been learning to make lacquerware since she was a child, and it has been many years since then. 【Picture】

After a long time, a few people came over to give a thumbs up, and two people praised the bracelet in the comment area, so no one paid attention. It seems that the excitement under Weibo was just a dream. Fortunately, she had expected this situation long ago, otherwise she might not be able to accept it mentally.

The next morning, she rushed to the store ahead of time, and Tan Yuan hadn't arrived yet. After she cleaned up the shop, Tan Yuan arrived late, and her eyes were a little red and swollen. Hua Jin pretended not to see her strange, and handed the brewed tea to Tan Yuan: "Have you finished the earrings made by the customer last time? It seems that the pick-up date is just these two days."

"It's already done." Tan Yuan took the tea and took a sip. "You can tell me now what happened to Mr. Pei."

"We have a pure relationship between men and women, and I lied to you that you are a puppy." Hua Jin yawned and lay on the table, "If such a rich and good-looking man really has any impure relationship with me, I will Can you not post ten moments in a row to show off?"

"The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, what kind of pure man-woman relationship can they have when they get together?" Tan Yuan looked at Hua Jin suspiciously, "Don't you have evil thoughts just because you see how good-looking people are? "

"Am I such a superficial person?" Hua Jin clicked his tongue, "Although Pei Yan is really good-looking, with a thin waist and long legs, you can't just look at the face when looking at people."

"No, you are so superficial." Tan Yuan rolled her eyes towards the ceiling, "No need to refute, I won't believe anything you say."

"Actually, I don't know if it's my delusion, I think you are a little special to Mr. Pei." Tan Yuan put the cup back on the table, "Huahua, you are a more defensive person, except for those who are close to us, I've always been alienated from other people, especially men. I didn't feel this alienation when you talked to Mr. Pei."

"Then... maybe it's because he looks good."

"Cut." Tan Yuan didn't intend to break the casserole and asked to the end, she got up and walked to the workbench, sighing, "I don't have a beautiful man to tease, so I'd better hurry up and strive for daily gold and become a white rich beauty that others can't climb. ."

Amused by Tan Yuan's optimistic attitude, Hua Jin finally felt relieved.

There is also the dream of being a white and rich beauty, which shows that the dumplings are still full of hope in life.

In the next few days, Tan Yuan's spirit was always good, and Cao Yi didn't come to the store to ask for trouble. Hua Jin finally felt relieved. In the blink of an eye, it was the opening day of the exhibition. She deliberately changed into a set of clothes that made herself look elegant and intellectual, and rushed to the exhibition venue by car.

After passing through layers of security checks, Hua Jin finally successfully entered the gate. On the shelf, I went to a brochure, and Hua Jin walked inside slowly.

In the two rows of display windows near the main entrance, there are pottery that is still very popular at the moment. She slowly looked at it one by one, walked through the long corridor where the porcelain was placed, and found that there were not many people inside. Several elderly people wearing glasses and holding magnifying glasses in their hands, lay outside the showcase and watched carefully, as if the contents of the showcase could be blown away by a gust of wind.

There are many things in the exhibition hall, wood carvings, bone carvings, ceramics, clay sculptures, weavings, woodblock prints, puppets, embroidery and so on. When I came to the embroidery area, Huajin was shocked by the exquisite embroidery in the showcase.

The embroidery piece and the fabric are perfectly combined, no flaws can be seen, and the dewdrops on the petals are about to fall, which is amazingly beautiful. However, this dress is still an unearthed cultural relic. Clothes buried in the soil for hundreds of years are still so delicate, which shows how high the level of embroidery was at that time.

Unfortunately, there are not many exhibits related to embroidery in the exhibition hall, but there are more lacquerware.

"It's a pity, it's a pity." The two old men stood in the lacquerware exhibition area, shaking their heads and sighing, "Some crafts have long been lost, and there are only a few records left in ancient books."

Hearing the two old men say what a pity, Hua Jin has a feeling of heroic twilight. The more beautiful and splendid things are in the exhibition hall, the more she feels sad about the current situation of traditional handicrafts.

The lacquer tree in the lacquer industry is not easy to find, and there are many problems in Shu embroidery. In the past, many places in Shu Province had the habit of planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms, and even a city was called the land of mulberry. Later, with the development of the economy, the scale of silkworm breeding has shrunk significantly. If she wants to buy authentic Shu brocade and silkworm embroidery thread, she can only buy it from a few old factories.

The raw materials are already full of difficulties, not to mention the handicraft inheritance and teaching, the more you can feel the current difficulties without thinking about it.

"I really don't understand, what's so good about these ugly and ugly things." Two young men walked in, one of them she knew, his brother who brought him to the door yesterday, and the other one she didn't know. The words just now were spoken by him.

This man's voice was not loud, but the exhibition hall was too quiet. As soon as he said these words, he felt that countless pairs of eyes were staring at him. Many experts present have studied traditional crafts for a lifetime, and they attach great importance to domestic inheritance. Now I hear Chinese people say that these things are ugly and ugly, and their faces are really not good-looking.

Being glared at by these eyes, the speaker wanted to pull Chen Jiang in front of him to block him, but he knew that Chen Jiang was faster than him, and he took a few steps back. know this person."

Chen Jiang carefully scanned the exhibition hall with his eyes to see if there was anyone he knew, but in the next second he saw the woman who was having an affair with Pei Yan.

He sucked in a breath of cold air, how could he forget that she also does this business, did she hear what Meng Tao said just now

Chen Jiang was overwhelmed in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he walked to Hua Jin and whispered, "Hello, I didn't expect you to be here too."

"I got a ticket a few days ago. Thinking of the rare opportunity, I'll come and have a look." Hua Jin tried to keep the volume to a minimum, "Is that your friend?"

"I just met at the door, not a friend." Chen Jiang accompanied him with a smile, "I didn't expect these exhibits inside to be so radiant, beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and alluring..."

"Shh." Hua Jin put her index finger to her lips, "Quiet."

She was afraid that if this person continued to speak, the other party would be able to say any messy idioms.

Chen Jiang didn't dare to speak any more, and honestly followed Hua Jin and looked around, until the two walked to a remote corner, Chen Jiang said again: "Didn't Mr. Pei come to see the exhibition with you?"

Hua Jin looked at Chen Jiang with a subtle expression, why did she want Pei Yan to accompany her when she came to an exhibition.

Seeing that the woman was sad, and seeing Hua Jin's lonely expression, Chen Jiang quickly advised, "Don't think too much about it, Mr. Pei might have something to do, so he can't come with you."

Hua Jin: "… "

No, I didn't think too much, it was you who thought too much.

The author has something to say: Meng Tao: Wait, Chen Jiang, I am your cousin!
