Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Head General Yin, who had always been high and mighty, had taken the initiative to ask him for advice on his lamp-making skills. He suddenly felt that not only was this Head General Yin capable, but he was also a sentimental person.
He was comparable to him back then!
Chang Ningbo looked at Yin Huaixi with a hint of admiration. It was as if he had met a confidant and couldn’t wait to teach him everything he knew.
The reason why Chang Ningbo had made a lamp was to marry a girl he liked. The “love” he was talking about might be different from what he thought. Yin Huaixi quickly said, “You’ve misunderstood. It’s not what you think. I’m making a lamp…
Uncle Chang laughed. “You don’t have to explain. I understand. You want to personally make a lamp for a girl, right?”
Back then, the first lamp he had learned how to build was given to the little girl he liked next door.
No, what exactly do you understand?
Yin Huaixi felt that there was something wrong with his words. For the first time in his life, General Yin, who had always been peerlessly smart and thought that he could read people’s hearts, actually couldn’t see through Chang Ningbo.
Yin Huaixi rubbed his forehead. “How do you know that I’m setting up a lamp for you?”
Chang Ningbo had an expression that said, “How can it not be easy to guess? I’ve been there before.” “Only women like lamps. Aren’t they all used to give to young ladies? Which man would specially make a lamp for a man?!”
Yin Huaixi glanced at him from the corner of his eye. “If I remember correctly, this lamp of mine seems to have been personally made by Chang Ningbo!”
Chang Ningbo coughed a few times. “I-uh, I didn’t specially make a lamp to express my admiration for Master Yin? How can this be mixed up!”
Yin Huaixi was speechless.
Chang Ningbo leaned over. “Head General Yin, don’t deny it. We’ve all been through this before. Who doesn’t know who we are?! If you personally make a lamp, it must be for a girl.”
He was not a fool. How could he not tell that when Head General Yin mentioned “Since it’s an ancestral craft, I can only give up!” , his usually indifferent face revealed a hint of regret and disappointment.
This expression was exactly the same as when he couldn’t give the lamp he had to the girl he liked during the Mid-Autumn Festival after entering the military camp on impulse.
Yin Huaixi emphasized, “I’m fifteen this year.”
Chang Ningbo waved his hand with an indifferent expression. “So what if you’re 15 years old? I knew how to make my own lamp when I was nine years old to find a wife for myself. The first lamp I made was for her. She was only six years old at that time. She carried the lamp and said that the lamps I made looked really good. I said that if you marry me when you grow up, I’ll make lamps for you every Mid-Autumn Festival in the future.”
At the mention of the past, Chang Ningbo had endless things to say.
The corners of Yin Huaixi’s mouth twitched. He couldn’t help but ask, “Did you do it?”
Chang Ningbo nodded. “Of course. I’m a man. If I agree, I’ll definitely do it. Even if I encounter a war during the Mid -Autumn Festival and I’m not by her side, I’ll personally make a lamp and give it to her personally after the war is settled. Later on…” Chang Ningbo paused for a moment and suddenly became hoarse. “When she left, I made a lamp every year during the Mid -Autumn Festival and burned it for her!”
Yin Huaixi was slightly stunned. Only then did he remember that Chang Ningbo’s first wife had already passed away for ten years. Hr had lost her spouse before the age of 50. If it were anyone else, they would have remarried.
However, Chang Ningbo had never remarried.
Chang Ningbo patted Yin Huaixi’s shoulder. “Kid, age isn’t a problem, and your body isn’t a distance. You have to get the girl you like. Whether she’s worthy or not is nonsense. You have to believe that in this world, only you can treat her well and never leave her for the rest of your life. No one else is you. How do you know that others will treat her better than you?”
As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Yin Huaixi’s legs.
He had already imagined his thoughts.
I like her, but I have a crippled leg. I am sick and weak. I don’t have long to live. I am not worthy of her. She deserves better.
As an experienced person and an elder, how could he allow this rarely-seen young man to give up on himself?!
He had to encourage him to chase after his loved one!
Although Yin Huaixi couldn’t guess what Chang Ningbo was thinking…
But!
He was not a fool. Chang Ningbo had said it so bluntly. Even if he listened to it word by word, he could guess what he meant. However, he was speechless!
Forget it!
He didn’t hold it against the men who lost his wife. Yin Huaixi stroked his forehead. “Didn’t you want to teach me how to make a lamp?”
So be it!
Although it was not romantic love, he liked Yu Youyao. Moreover, there was no need to explain the relationship between him and Yu Youyao to outsiders.
In the Yu Residence, after receiving the red silk inkstone from her cousin, Yu Youyao erupted with unprecedented enthusiasm when practicing her calligraphy.
After breakfast, she rushed into the study and used a red silk inkstone to copy the Sutra of Longevity.
After copying it, Yu Youyao felt that her wrist was sore and swollen, as if it wasn’t hers.
However, she did not feel uncomfortable at all. She looked at the Buddhist scriptures that were copied with the red silk inkstone and felt extremely happy.
It was easy to get an inkstone.
It was difficult to find meaning.
The rarest thing was that behind this rare and precious inkstone, it expressed an equally rare and precious heart.
She could feel it!
Yu Youyao put the copied Buddhist scriptures into a box and called Chun Xiao over. “The chrysanthemums in the courtyard are blooming. Bring a vase to Grandmother’s house.”
Chun Xiao quickly went to the courtyard, picked out a vase of the best chrysanthemums, and went to An Shou Hall with Yu Youyao.
Yu Youyao instructed the maidservant to place the longevity chrysanthemums on the eye-catching windowsill.
The Longevity Chrysanthemums were orange and bright. When the vase was placed in the room, it lit up a lot. When she inadvertently glanced at it, her heart lit up a little.
Old Madam Yu smiled. “Come and sit down.”
Yu Youyao sat beside her grandmother and handed the box in her hand to her.
“I copied a Sutra for Grandmother.”
Old Madam Yu quickly opened the box and took out a stack of scriptures.
There were rows of small words, but they were neat and stable, unlike the rigid script.
The words flowed like water, and the wind gods sprinkled down. Although the words were not connected, their auras were interlinked. The strokes were powerful and charming.
Old Madam Yu was delighted to see this. “What good handwriting. I still remember that before your cousin entered the residence, your handwriting was as bad as a dog’s. I kept urging you to practice your handwriting well, but you refused to listen. It’s only been a few months since your cousin taught you, but you’ve already developed a strong backbone.” Zhou Linghuai was really a capable person!
