The medicine was bought by Lao Wu early in the morning at a pharmacy not far from the street, Ye Xiaochi looked at it, and it was considered symptomatic and put it back.

At this time, Lao Wu said: "Xiao Ye, have you noticed that the chair you are sitting on can only be sat on by people with high status." ”

Ye Xiaochi listened, looked down at the chair she was sitting on, there were delicate carved patterns on the backrest, both the backrest and the armrests were relatively low, and she could sit firmly with her waist upright. The backrest is too low, and the decorative effect is stronger than the practical function.

But what does this have to do with status? Lao Wu knew that she would be strange, so he continued to explain to her.

"According to ancient etiquette, if there are several kinds of seats in a room, then the ones with backrests and armrests, such as the official hat chair, the circle chair, the cross chair, and the rose chair you sit on, are for people of high status. If you have a worse status, then you may not have armrests, you are like a lamp hanging chair. Your uncle is sitting on a lamp hanging chair, and the one he sits on is not a good match for sale, and the materials are ordinary, so we use them for our own use. If you look at the one I sit on, not only does I not have a backrest, but I don't even have an armrest, and I only sit on this one with a low status. ”

Ye Xiaochi looked at the stool that Lao Wu was sitting on, a very ordinary wooden stool, it really had no backrest and no armrests, "Brother Wu is really joking, if you want to talk about it like this, I won't be able to sit down." ”

Lao Wu smiled: "No, you can sit with peace of mind, I'm just joking." Usually no one comes to the warehouse here, so I'm talking about it. ”

Luo Xiangdong's throat was a little hoarse, pinched his throat a few times, pointed to the chair with a backrest next to him and told Ye Xiaochi: "Lao Wu likes to joke, there is a chair over there, but he doesn't sit on it." ”

Ye Xiaochi saw that he was struggling to speak, so he said, "Uncle, you are struggling to speak, so don't say it yet." Actually, he said it very well, I didn't expect there to be so much attention in the chair?"

Lao Wu saw that Ye Xiaochi was really willing to listen to what he said, so he said again: "There are indeed many doorways in these furniture, have you seen "Han Xuanzai's Night Banquet Map"? Oh, maybe you don't know who Han Xuanzai is, right?"

When Lao Wu said this, he was worried about how to explain Han Xuzai to Ye Xiaochi, but he heard Ye Xiaochi answer: "Han Xuzai is a big official under Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, isn't Li Yu the author of "Poppy Beauty"? ”

The queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty is too famous, and there are stories about the big and small weeks, plus the movie "Night Banquet" made by a certain director, Ye Xiaochi can't even think about it.

Luo Xiangdong was going to drink some water to moisten his throat, but when he heard the conversation between the two of them, he wondered what Lao Wu was going to say? Wasn't he talking about the relationship between chairs and status just now? Why did he talk about the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the surname Han?

"Yes, yes, you're so right. Lao Wu clapped his hands, "You've seen it all, then I'll tell you again and you'll easily understand." At that time, wasn't the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty afraid that Han Xuzai would rebel, so he sent people to spy on him. Han Yuzai is also quite scheming, in order to dispel Li Yu's suspicions, he spends all day drinking and feasting. Isn't there a hall for hospitality on the top of that picture? There are some random chairs in it, all of them are pretty much the same, only the backrests and no handles, you see, so that the people present don't have any status, they can sit casually. He used this method to tell Li Yu that he was not interested in political status and career, and wanted to use this method to dispel Li Yu's concerns. You see, there's a lot of talk in this chair. ”

Ye Xiaochi really didn't think of this, and recalled the painting she had seen, it was really like this, some chairs were scattered randomly in the palatial hall, whoever wants to sit on it can sit whichever one wants, no need for you to push me, and there is no need to talk about seniority, probably what Lao Wu said really makes sense.

Ye Xiaochi smiled and stretched out his thumb to Lao Wu: "Amazing, Brother Wu, you are quite researched." ”

Lao Wu grinned, waved his hand and smiled: "No one usually comes to the warehouse, I talk a little more, if you don't laugh at me, I'll do it." ”

"What's the joke, there's really learning here. As she spoke, Ye Xiaochi looked through the window of the lounge, and the furniture she knew and didn't know was full.

Luo Xiangdong saw that she seemed to be interested in these things, so he said: "If you want to see it, go over and take a look, these are all to be repaired, even if there is paint on it, it has to be removed when it is repaired, go and see if it's okay." ”

Lao Wu had already stood up at this time and took the lead towards the furniture, and Ye Xiaochi really wanted to take a look, so he stood up and followed.

And Lao Wu chatted happily with her, and automatically acted as a narrator all the way, telling her: "Look at these Arhat beds here, the ancients are very good at living, people with good conditions put this Arhat bed in the middle of the hall, if you come to a confidant and friend, just sit on this Arhat bed, play chess, recite poems, drink tea or something, but people are more elegant, and call Yin Shifu to drink and drink tea......"

Lao Wu had an audience like Ye Xiaochi, and he talked about it a lot, and he talked all the way, Ye Xiaochi also thought what he said was very interesting, and he put Luo Xiangdong aside. Luo Xiangdong felt that his niece didn't seem to come to see him, but to see Lao Wu, and he couldn't find his sense of existence anymore.

At this time, Ye Xiaochi saw a square table, which was disassembled in the middle, a little like the style of a fully automatic mahjong machine, and felt strange, so he stopped and looked at it.

Lao Wu said to her: "What do you guess this is for?"

Ye Xiaochi looked at the upper floor that was taken down from the table, "It can't be used for chess, right?"

"Yes, this is the chess table, the upper layer can play Go, and the lower level is used to play backgammon. ”

"Backgammon, I've heard of this, and it is said that Wu Zetian likes to play this. ”

"Xiao Luo, I didn't expect your niece to know a lot. Lao Wu said a word to Luo Xiangdong, and without waiting for Luo Xiangdong to answer, he said to Ye Xiaochi again: "You are so right, there were people who played backgammon in ancient times, and when it came to the Kangxi Dynasty, a ban was issued, and it was strictly forbidden for people to use backgammon to gamble, so some people made this kind of table and hid backgammon on the lower level." If you find something wrong, cover the lower layer and you'll be fine. ”

Ye Xiaochi: "......" is indeed okay, it is a model of policies and countermeasures.

"Brother Wu, you really know a lot. Ye Xiaochi's words are absolutely true, Lao Wu met a good audience, and he was very happy, but he was still modest and said: "Sometimes I have to tell customers about it, so I have specially learned about this aspect." You said that if you don't know about this, customers may not buy it if they can't see the doorway. ”

At this time, a guard at the door came in and called Lao Wu to go out and say something, and Lao Wu said: "Xiao Ye, you can take a look at it yourself, and ask your uncle if you don't understand." I've got something going on and I'll be back later. ”
