Chapter 125 Jiang Family Heirloom When the door of the old house was pushed open, Lu Li and Jiang Lianxue were stunned when they saw the person walking person in front of them was the blind old lady who had set up a stall outside the antique market in the morning. The two of them bought the wooden hairpins from her for 20 yuan. The wooden hairpin was now stuck in Jiang Lianxue's bunted hair. It’s hard to believe that there is such a coincidence in the world. The person Uncle Liu was looking for had just done a transaction with him that morning. The old lady smiled and said, "I have been waiting for you two for a long time. Are you still used to wearing the wooden hairpin?" The two were sure that this was not a coincidence, but the old man did it on purpose! Jiang Lianxue couldn't help but ask curiously: "Grandma, can you recognize us?" "Girl, I won't say it anymore." The old lady smiled and turned sideways to welcome the two people into the house. "I may be blind, but my heart is not blind." Lu Li and Jiang Lianxue looked at each other. It turned out that none of the people Uncle Liu knew were simple. These were all talented people who had fallen into the common people! Lu Li guessed that maybe this old man was just like Sister Yaoyao, who was extremely sensitive to people's voices and could remember them after hearing them once. The two followed the old man into the room. It was pitch black in the room, and they couldn't see their hands in front of them. The old man smiled and walked aside. "Wait a moment, I'll turn on the light. I usually live alone, so it doesn't matter whether I turn on the light or not, and it can also save electricity." Hiss, Lu Li took a breath, what a hellish joke.
When the lights in the room were turned on, the two could see that the small space was filled with all kinds of shelves and utensils, and the path for people to pass was very narrow. Lu Li looked up, afraid that the porcelain bottle above his head would accidentally fall down. The old lady walked through the shelves with ease, "The room is a bit messy, luckily I don't care, so I just leave it like this." Lu Li and Jiang Lianxue, who were following carefully behind, focused their attention on the parts of the body that might be touched. This old lady really made a hell of a joke without stopping. It seemed that she didn't mind the fact that she was blind and she made jokes about herself casually. Walking into the back of the room, the old lady smiled and said, "Sit on the sofa for a while. I'll go get what Xiao Liu wants." A few minutes later, she came over with a familiar wooden box. The box in her hand was exactly the same as the one that contained the wooden hairpin. But there was a silver lock hanging on this wooden box, and it was carved with patterns, which was very delicate. The old lady handed the wooden box to Lu Li, "Xiao Liu asked you to take this thing. It seems that he regards you as his apprentice." Lu Li and Jiang Lianxue looked at the box curiously, "What's in it? Is it also a wooden hairpin?" "If Xiao Liu didn't tell you, then I can't tell you either." The old lady smiled and turned around. "You two haven't eaten yet, right? I'll go get some food. There's nothing delicious at home, so I won't keep you two for dinner. Just take some food on the way." "No, no, no." Lu Li quickly stood up and waved his hand, but the old lady was extremely agile. She had already taken a bag of bread and ran back, stuffing it into Jiang Lianxue's arms. You really can't tell that this is a blind old man. The two couldn't refuse, so they could only leave the room with a bag of bread. Standing on the dark and deserted street, Lu Li and Jiang Lianxue looked at each other and said, "Where should we go to eat? It looks like there aren't any restaurants around here." "Let's talk about this when we get back to the hotel. By the way, this wooden box only has a lock, but no key?" "Maybe it's in Uncle Liu's hands. I'll call and ask."
Lu Li took out his cell phone and made a call. The call was connected quickly, but the voice coming from the other end was not Uncle Liu, but Jiang Yunfeng's laughter. "Xiao Lu, did you get the stuff?" Lu Li was stunned for a moment, "Uncle Liu said it was his private matter." "Haha, it's indeed his private matter, I just happen to know about it. So, did you get the thing?" "Is this still a test?" "Yes, it seems you got it. Now the three people in the world whose judgment I trust the most have seen you and think you are pretty good, so you can successfully get the box." Jiang Yunfeng paused, "Inside the box is a pair of Jiang family ancestral engagement rings, and now it has been passed to you two." Hearing this, Lu Li suddenly felt that the box in his hand was very heavy. Inside it was the future of him and Jiang Lianxue, the future promised by Jiang Yunfeng and even the entire Jiang family. At this moment, his identity as the future son-in-law of the Jiang family was completely confirmed. Lu Li was a little stunned. It was his first time to come into contact with this kind of family culture and he just felt it was very heavy. But this was not enough to make him back down. Lu Li smiled and turned to look at Jiang Lianxue, "Xiaoxue, the box contains the Jiang family's ancestral love ring." Jiang Lianxue widened her eyes and smiled in surprise: "Then I know where the key is!" Lu Li smiled and said goodbye to Jiang Yunfeng, then asked curiously: "The key is in your hand?" "Yeah." Jiang Lianxue nodded, "Maybe I should go back to the house where I lived when I was a child. We can go there when we have time! Anyway, there's no rush to get married now." "That makes sense. Now let's think about eating." Lu Li held the box tightly in one hand and held Jiang Lianxue's hand with the other, walking on the dim street. There were few vehicles nearby, so the two of them decided to try their luck at the intersection. There seems to be a light on in the distance ahead, so the probability of hailing a taxi may be higher. A few minutes later, the two squatted on the side of the road under the street light and finally hailed a car, but the distance was a bit far and it would take a while for the car to come. Jiang Lianxue stared at the ants moving at her feet with great interest and concentration. Lu Li put his head aside. He always had the urge to pee. "Little monster, what do you think these ants are thinking about when they move?" "Maybe they were thinking it was going to rain soon. These two silly bipeds squatting there were not panicking at all without an umbrella." Jiang Lianxue raised her little head, "???" She blinked in disbelief, "Is it really raining?" "Looking at the weather forecast on my phone, it should rain in the next few hours." As soon as Lu Li finished speaking, there was a sound of "plop" and a large raindrop fell on his forehead. He looked up and said, "My mouth must have been blessed!" "Stop shining the lights, and get out of the rain!" Jiang Lianxue jumped up suddenly, took Lu Li's hand and ran towards the eaves of an old house not far away.
The rain came suddenly and heavily, making the already cool night even colder. Lu Li hugged Jiang Lianxue tightly in his arms. Jiang Lianxue smiled and closed her eyes, listening to the sound of rain around her. She asked softly, "Little monster, where should we go to get the ring?" "Is this asking, where is the best place to propose?" "Hey, you can't propose. I want to marry you, and you want to marry me. We don't need to ask each other for anything." "Then, let's go to a place that has special meaning to both of us!" "Well, that does require some careful consideration." (End of this chapter)
