The silly and sweet spring of crossing

Chapter 16. The battle for the leader (6)

After Shopkeeper Fang left, life became calmer.Qiu Baichen focused on teaching his apprentices how to make lamps, and took care of Xiao Chuliu in his free time.He Lanyuzhi has also been unable to remember the past. Apart from practicing martial arts every day, he just reads books, and the books are all borrowed.

In today's world, movable type printing has not yet been invented, and book paper is still relatively expensive.Because Qiu Baichen had already told He Lanyuzhi about his intention to go to Xinfang City, so He Lanyuzhi didn't waste his money on this.

The weather is gradually getting warmer, and it has been almost a year since Qiu Baichen came here. Looking back and thinking about the things in his previous life, Qiu Baichen felt a little dazed.

In his previous life, he followed his grandfather to make lamps, but he couldn't sell them in the end. He was so poor that he had no choice but to go out and find other things to do, but he didn't want to encounter a car accident and travel to this world he never knew.

This world is far behind modern times, and the living conditions are too poor, but it can give him free space to do what he likes.

It's a blessing in disguise.

Qiu Baichen was lying on the bed, Xiao Chuliu was still sleeping with He Lanyuzhi, and he had a very good relationship with He Lanyuzhi, but it might be because of the nature of father and son, so Xiaochuliu would always be clingier when he saw Qiu Baichen, no As for making Qiu Baichen jealous.

Day by day, Xiao Chuliu has changed from a red-born monkey to a cute baby, who can turn over, grow teeth, crawl, try to speak, and make a sound similar to Daddy.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival of another year, and the sixth grader had already started to learn to walk. He was wearing a royal blue gown, his hair had just been shaved, and he had two small ties. He smiled and showed his white and tender teeth.

"Father, daddy!" He still didn't know how to call him daddy. He was happy to be walking slowly with Qiu Baichen's support, but Qian Qiu Baichen suddenly let go of him and slipped away a long way.

"Father." Xiao Chuli pursed his lips, stood there without daring to move, seeing Qiu Baichen wanted to hug him but didn't dare to leave, wrinkled his little face aggrievedly, and kept calling him Daddy.

"Little Chuliu, come here, come here and give me a hug from Daddy." Qiu Baichen clapped his hands at Xiaochuliu, who looked at him eagerly, summoned up his courage and tried to take a step forward, but was a little unsteady, almost fell, and was so frightened He quickly stopped moving.He looked at Qiu Baichen with an aggrieved face, tears welled up in his eyes, and he was about to cry.

At this time He Lan Yuzhi came back from the outside, Xiao Chuliu felt even more wronged when he saw He Lan Yuzhi, and also forgot about not being able to walk, so he rushed to find He Lan Yuzhi.

Xiao Chuliu's gait is still not steady, but he has been learning to walk for a while, and he walks pretty well with someone supporting him, but he dare not move without being supported.Now when he saw He Lan Yuzhi, he was concerned about being wronged, and wanted to find He Lan Yuzhi to tell his father, so he ran directly towards He Lan Yuzhi.

"Su, Su, dad, it's bad." Xiao Chuliu hugged He Lanyuzhi's leg and started to cry. The tears were like beads with broken strings, and his little face turned red from crying, so he felt aggrieved.

He Lanyuzhi picked him up, but Qiu Baichen couldn't help laughing, and came over clutching his stomach, reaching out to touch Xiao Chuliu's face.

Xiao Chuliu stretched out his hand to push him, not letting him touch him.

"Father, bad." He pouted.

"Our Little Chuliu can walk and run now." Qiu Baichen said with a smile, Little Chuliu wanted to cry at first, but he opened his eyes wide after hearing him say that.

Huh, it seems to be true.

"Yeah, I'm going to run away." He Lanyu also laughed, he put Xiao Chuliu down, and Xiao Chuliu walked slowly, and found that walking was not scary at all, so he forgot how his father did it just now The bad one started to run happily, and when he was tired from running, he came back to find his father for a hug.

Qiu Baichen hugged his silly son, and kissed his chubby face hard, which made Xiao Chuliu itch and giggle.

"father."

Little Chu Liu is less than one year old, and he can already walk and talk, which is normal in modern times, and normal children can walk and talk when they are about one year old.However, the conditions in ancient times were generally not good. Children lacked calcium, and they could not walk until they were two or three years old.Qiu Baichen doesn't save money on food, and doesn't eat too much, but he doesn't lack fish, fruits and vegetables. Children need balanced nutrition to grow well, so he fed Xiao Chu Liu fat, even He Lan Yu's capital is heavier than before.

In the evening is the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival. The county has held lantern festivals every year since last year, and this year the county’s chamber of commerce has also given prizes. The county magistrate, officials in the county, and famous literati can vote for the lanterns. Which company’s lanterns will win? If you get more votes, you will get the lottery of the Chamber of Commerce. The bonus is as much as 500 taels. If you do well, you will bring it as a special product of Yanglin County when the county magistrate comes to Beijing.

Qiu Baichen naturally participated in this event, and after half a year of recovery, the shopkeeper over there has slowly regained his vitality. If he wants to stand up, he needs to fight for this victory.

However, Qiu Baichen did not pay attention to the master at the Fuyuan Lantern Shop. His craftsmanship has been refined for thousands of years. Except for the lanterns that have been lost for thousands of years, he cannot completely restore them. He has made other lanterns. Even if the master of Fuyuan Lantern Shop develops a new kind of lantern, he can't really surpass him.

Because Yanglin County is mainly famous for embroidery outside, if you really want to bring it to the palace for offering, then the lamp must be unique, expensive, and the style must be luxurious and novel.So Qiu Baichen decided to make a palace lantern, made of high-quality wood and brocade, and the brocade was embroidered with peony patterns, which was elegant and luxurious.

In terms of embroidery, Qiu Baichen asked Lu Ping to embroider. Her craftsmanship is very good. Even He Lanyuzhi said that her craftsmanship is good, but there are no channels, so they can only be sold to big families in the county.Originally, Qiu Baichen didn't think of adding embroidery to the lanterns, but now he happened to meet them, so he combined embroidery and lanterns.

It took a full month to make this lamp, and it took Lu Ping embroidering peonies for two months.Palace lanterns are more exquisite and beautiful than ordinary lanterns. With the exquisite peony embroidery, after lighting the candles, the light shines through the brocade, which makes the lantern even more luxurious.

There was hardly any objection, so this lantern was chosen as the lantern for the magistrate to pay tribute to Beijing. He asked Qiu Baichen to make another one with the pattern of dragon and phoenix to make a pair.

Qiu Baichen won the lottery, but he didn't sell the palace lanterns in the store, and the reason was very good. The palace lanterns he made that time were for tribute.After the Chinese New Year, Qiu Baichen had several thousand taels of silver in his hands, enough to buy a smaller store in Xinfang City, so he decided to go to Xinfang City with his family.

"Sister Ping, do you want to go together? We can live together over there, and the cost will not be much higher. The price of your embroidery will be even higher." Qiu Baichen was reluctant to part with the neighbors on the East Lane, But it was Lu Ping who was most reluctant.If Lu Ping hadn't been there, maybe he would have died twice.

"I don't have anything to worry about, but He Lin still has to study." Lu Ping had already gone home to meet her parents. Although her elder brother thought her elopement was embarrassing, her parents still missed her very much, and they were reluctant to see her again. When she left, she also liked He Lin very much.

But Lu Ping returned to Yanglin County. She already had a new life, and she didn't want to create a estrangement between her parents and her brother. She just went back to visit after a while.

"It's better to go to Xinfang City to study. Those who are in the sixth grade of junior high school will also go to study. Sister Ping, let me tell you, in fact, He Nan has a lot of books. If you can't find Mr. for the time being, you can ask him to teach Lin'er .” Qiu Baichen said.

"I think He Nan is definitely not an ordinary person, at least he cannot be from Yanglin County. He knows a lot of things and knows a lot. He is very smart and handsome. Last time he went to the Lantern Festival, many girls handed him handkerchiefs. Woolen cloth."

"I don't know what kind of girl he will marry in the future."

"He hasn't remembered the past?" Lu Ping asked. He Lanyuzhi and He Yun looked very similar. She always had doubts about He Lanyuzhi's identity, but she couldn't be sure, so she didn't tell Qiu Baichen.

"No, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry. I also asked if I should post some notices to look for him. I don't know if his family has looked for him, and I haven't seen anyone come looking for him."

"If you say so, let's go together. If the money is not enough, we will sell the house here first." Lu Ping said, "The house of our two families can also be sold for a few hundred taels." Lu Ping said.

Qiu Baichen also thought about selling the house. There must be a lot of places to spend money in Xinfang City. Although he has feelings for this place, the house is just a shell after all, and it retains memories, but there is nothing reluctant to part with it.

He originally thought that Lu Ping would be reluctant to part with the house here...

"He Lin's father has passed away for so many years, and I feel sad when I think about it." Lu Ping said, "It's been so long, and it's time to let go."

After He Yun's death, Lu Ping kept her life alive for so many years, as if all the meaning of life was to miss her late husband and raise a child for him.However, Lu Ping is still young, and her life is still very long. She still loves the original He Yun in her heart, but she should have a new life.If he can go out with Qiu Baichen and open a shop, it would be good to make money.As for whether to remarry or not, that's up to nature.

Moreover, He Lin likes Xiao Chu Liu very much, and will cry if they are separated.

"That's fine, let's go after the New Year." Qiu Baichen went to Xinfang City. The house here was going to be sold, but the store wouldn't be sold.

Over the past year, both Li Chen and Wang Xian have learned his skills. Li Chen still has his mother, and he didn't want to leave Yanglin County, so Qiu Baichen entrusted him to take care of the shop. To do it here, he found another shopkeeper to help Li Chen manage it.

The owner of the shop is naturally still him. If there are new lanterns, he will tell them, and he will also get the bonus here every three months.

After the Chinese New Year, during the Lantern Festival, Qiu Baichen made another sum of money, so he left Yanglin County and went to Xinfang City with his family to start a new journey.
