Chapter 42 The Dimly Lighted Place

Why seven crystal chandeliers? It's easy, give it away! At the beginning, a total of 22 crystal chandeliers were made, and 10 were given to the Hai Clan; the best one was given to the emperor, and the rest was given to Li Xian for his own use, and one for Yuan Zhao, Shangguan Yong and Zhang Quan's family. In the end there were seven left.

But even if there are only seven left, after being hung up in a row, they are still dazzling, as if taking off the rainbow from the sky. Seven lanterns, just seven colors left, are emitted in the brilliance of the rainbow.

The auction hasn't started yet, it's just a lantern party; all the lanterns brought by Li Xian are arranged in a patchwork order, making the industrial expo at night full of colorful lights.

Seeing this new colorful lantern, many wealthy businessmen have already started to discuss buying it, whether it is for their own use or resale, it is a very good thing.

"The colorful lanterns of Brilliant Stars Trading Company are good. Both the brilliance and workmanship are very good."

"Yes, yes, and the price is fair. I'm going to buy a few lanterns to take back and put them in the living room; they can be illuminated at night and can be used as art during the day."

"It's just a bit more 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 the prisms made of glass, how pure and brilliant. This is a work of art, why not?" It can be measured in money."

Everyone discussed very enthusiastically, only the members of the Wang family looked ugly; I don't want to do all kinds of calculations on my side, but Li Xian's simple and effective means! A textile machine tied the emperor firmly to Li Xian's chariot. As soon as the crystal chandelier came out, the lanterns of the Wang family became a street stall.

To be precise, the Wang family didn't know that what really moved the emperor's heart was not the spinning machine, but the strategies Li Xian said, and this was the most important thing. But no matter what, the Wang family really failed this time, completely and simply.

The children around don't care about this, the children are playing happily among the lamps, many children from common people's homes have never seen such a beautiful scene. There are also many girls wandering here, enjoying this short, colorful dream.

It's just that the happy atmosphere will inevitably produce a little surprise, especially in this crowded environment.

With a crash, a one-meter-sized colored lantern fell, and shattered glass shards scattered all over the ground. The colored lantern flickered tenaciously for a few times before finally going out.

Needless to say, everyone's nature of watching the excitement was immediately revived, and they gathered around to watch.

"I just saw this lantern. It looks like a lotus flower. It's worth 58 taels of silver."

"It's so expensive, who broke it? How dare you make trouble at the industrial fair bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Shhh, Li Xian is here, it's lively."

A lantern was knocked down suddenly, which naturally attracted Li Xian's attention. Everyone parted ways, allowing Li Xian to walk unimpeded.

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

"Wow..." Seeing Li Xian approaching, the child immediately cried in fright.

Li Xian looked at a group of spectators around him, and squatted in front of the children, "It's okay, isn't it just a colored lantern. Come, let me see your injury."

"Big brother, I... I... I will compensate you..." The child sobbed.

"No, I'll treat you as a big brother. Come on, let me see your injury first." Li Xian smiled gently. The clothes on the little guy are very ordinary.

"No, big brother, I must pay you. I...I...can you work in your workshop?" The little guy looked at Li Xian with pitiful eyes.

Li Xian looked at the little guy, thought for a while and finally said, "Okay, then you clean up here first."

As he said that, Li Xian had already checked the little guy's body, and there was only a little flesh injury; he used the zhenyuan to force out the glass shards, and after the zhenyuan circulated for a while, the blood stopped.

"Thank you big brother, my name is Zhao Fei." After Xiao Zhao Fei finished speaking, he went to the side to fetch tools and started cleaning.

Seeing Li Xian let go of the child so lightly, everyone was amazed and immediately gave their approval. "Young Master Li is doing well."

"Little girl, thank you Mr. Li for your generosity." A woman in a cloth skirt and wooden hairpin came to Li Xian timidly, and bowed slightly to thank him.

Plain clothes, plain girl, eighteen or nineteen years old, under the bright lights of the night, but there is something ordinary and real; and the plain face without makeup, but there is a sense of sadness and helplessness.

For some reason, at this moment Li Xian suddenly thought of a word - love at first sight!

It is not accurate to say that it was love at first sight, but Li Xian was indeed touched and delighted, and his heart was moved! A voice sounded from the bottom of my heart—what a beautiful and elegant woman!

"No, this woman should be married." Li Xian suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart. A burst of irritability came from nowhere, which made Li Xian a little impatient. Suppressing the inexplicable irritability, Li Xian turned around and left, "It's okay, it's just that children are naughty. I did a lot of ridiculous things when I was young."

Li Xian had just walked a few steps when he heard Zhao Fei's voice behind him, "Auntie, I don't want to go back, I want to play here, I just met a lot of good friends."

"Auntie?" Li Xian was suddenly elated when he heard these two words. It's my aunt, not my mother.

Thinking of it, Li Xian slowed down and raised his ears to listen to the conversation.

"No way, Xiao Fei, good boy, how about we go home?"

"No, I don't! I'm going to work in Big Brother's workshop. I want to be a man, a man who stands up to the sky. I broke Big Brother's lantern. I want compensation. I don't want to be looked down upon!"

Li Xian immediately turned around, "Miss..., the exhibition is still two days away, let Xiaofei play here first."

The woman looked at Li Xian, her tone was still steady, "Then please trouble Mr. Li."

"No trouble, no trouble." Li Xian smiled like a little fox, "Zhao Fei, the crystal chandelier auction is about to start, let's go and watch the excitement."

"Thank you big brother."

Seeing this, the woman could only stay there frowning, and after cleaning up the broken glass for Zhao Fei, she took Zhao Fei to the temporary place in the open air. Countless people gathered around the seven huge crystal chandeliers; , the crystal chandelier rippling with a piece of gorgeous brilliance, whenever this time ushered in a burst of amazement.

When Li Xian stood on the three-foot-high platform in the center, everyone understood that the auction was about to start.

Li Xian clapped his hands to his surroundings, "Thank you all for coming to join us in your busy schedule. Li Xian has been thinking about the lantern auction for a long time; it's a big Chinese New Year, and it would be better to have a relaxing time.

This auction uses a hidden bid. The rules are: the minimum is 50 taels of gold, and the maximum is 55 taels of gold. Everyone bids individually. Finally, an average value is calculated, and whoever bids closer to the average value will get the lantern.

Everyone said, how? "

"Okay! Mr. Li is righteous!" Li Xian's decision drew cheers. At first, everyone thought that this large crystal chandelier would not be possible without one hundred taels of gold—there are only seven chandeliers, and it is near the Chinese New Year. Whether it is for your own use or as a gift, it is a good thing.

I don't want Li Xian to come to such a move, it is really relaxed and happy.

"If you have money but don't make money, this Li Xian is out of his mind!" Wang Ping, the eldest son of the Wang family, sneered.

The servant next to him immediately flattered: "The young master is right, absolutely right. If this crystal chandelier is auctioned, two or three hundred taels of gold will not be a problem."

Unexpectedly, a young man next to him glanced at Wang Ping and sneered, "Stupid!"
