Chapter 518: Puppets (Second Update)
But girls have a natural advantage in some ways.
For example, girls can cry in public, and most of them will win sympathy, but boys' words will only make people shake their heads and sigh.
Li Ruofan really didn't know how to refuse for a while, too, isn't it just a meal?
The intermediary Kensan smiled and said, "I won't go to join in the fun at such a family gathering, but please be sure to bring my greetings to Yuko Kitagawa." Now Sony is no longer selling in Huaxia, I heard that Li Ruoyun's studies are very good, so I will put the icing on the cake and send her the latest VAIO to wish her all her wishes. ”
Li Ruofan saw the intermediary Jian San and immediately got up and took a small packing box, so he had no choice but to express his gratitude and accept it.
Kitagawa Yuko smiled: "I'll give Li Ruoyun a set of Daughter's Day dolls." ”
Hina Festival is a traditional festival unique to Fuso.
The most distinctive feature of the Hina Festival in Fuso is the placement of Hina Festival dolls, which are known for their exquisite and delicate workmanship.
The placement of the Hinmata dolls is very particular, and on the special young altar, they are generally arranged in odd numbers such as 3, 5 and 7 layers.
The top floor of a standard puppet altar is the "Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother", and the following layers can be accompanied by three female officials, five young children in charge of music, attendants, and messengers as needed.
In addition to placing the dolls, they are also supplemented with decorations such as "peach blossoms, lanterns, dressers, and daily necessities", and in some places, they will also put food such as liquor and diamond cakes.
Many of the dolls placed on Daughter's Day were given by elders, and in the past, it even became an important dowry for women when they got married.
Nowadays, grandparents usually prepare red envelopes in advance for young couples to choose the dolls according to their wishes.
Dolls for the Hina Festival are usually placed a few days before March 3, and after the end, they are stored in time for the next year. It is said that if the doll is placed for too long, it will affect the marriage of the daughter.
When Li Ruofan saw the exquisite Daughter's Festival doll that Yuko Kitagawa brought over, he was also a little amazed.
It can be said that it completely crushed that Babi doll, and some of Fusang's culture has indeed achieved the extreme, and some are even surprising.
"This seems to be very similar to Kitagawa Yuko, or is it because I think Fuso people are similar?"
Kitagawa Yuko smiled: "This was originally made according to my appearance, of course nothing else." ”
The intermediary Jian San said with a smile: "The previous custom was that you need to imitate a 1-to-1 doll according to your own daughter, which can be regarded as your own stand-in." It has a special significance. There are still some people who still do this, and of course Yuko Kitagawa is scaled down. ”
In fact, puppets imitated by themselves cannot be simply given away, because in Fusang, people who are a little more particular, Daughter's Day dolls are actually one of the important dowries.
Because each place is based on one's own body as a prototype, it can only be given to one's future husband. But Li Ruofan didn't know this, but he just thought it looked good in a national costume. In itself, it is also a rare work of art.
Li Ruofan smiled: "This should be very valuable, right? I don't dare to accept it." ”
Li Ruofan's guess is right, if the ancestors are from a well-known family, the dolls placed in the home are even hundreds of years old, and they can be listed as special cultural relics designated by the state.
Locally made dolls are very expensive. Some can literally change back to a sedan.
For example, the dolls sold at the famous Hankyu Department Store are exquisitely crafted. The most expensive one is also available in limited quantities, and the most expensive one is priced at 1,050,000 yen. More than 1 million yen is equivalent to roughly 7-80,000 yuan, which is just a doll toy, which is really expensive.
Of course, there are reasons why you are expensive. Because those toys are all from the hands of famous artists, such as Awataguchi Kiyonobu, Heian Issui, Takehisa Kanzong, Kyoto Yoshibo, Heian Takehisa and others.
Because Kitagawa Yuko's set is customized by Awataguchi Kiyonobu, the price is even more expensive, and it is not for sale in a private collection. Of course, she also specially customized a 1-to-1 doll and placed it in Fuso's home.
In a sense, it's actually a meaningful thing. After all, girls always have to get married, like Kitagawa Yuko is far away from her parents now, but there is a completely cool self at home, and her parents can also relieve their worries a little.
The intermediary Jian San said for the old disrespectful: "If Li Ruofanjun thinks it is valuable, he can return the gift." ”
A faint flush appeared on Kitagawa Yuko's face, but she didn't speak.
Li Ruofan didn't know what to say for a while, and thought for a while: "What kind of gift does Kitagawa Yuko want?"
Kitagawa Yuko said: "Yuko don't return the gift, Yuko only has a small request." ”
Li Ruofan smiled: "What are the requirements?"
Kitagawa Yuzi said with a smile: "Please also ask Li Ruofan Jun to agree first, Yuzi promises that it will not embarrass you, and will definitely be able to do it." ”
Li Ruofan thought that this Beichuan Yuzi was very smart, but he still nodded and agreed.
Kitagawa Yuko said with a smile: "This set of Daughter's Day dolls was given to Li Ruoyun, but this imitation according to Yuzi is not in the set, so Yuko gave her to Li Ruofanjun, and please put it in the villa of Yujingyuan." ”
Li Ruofan said casually: "That's it, okay, I promise you, put her in my bedroom." ”
Kitagawa Yuko smiled and said: "The gentleman is quick to say a word. ”
Li Ruofan thought a little wrong, thinking that it was Yuko Kitagawa who wanted to put it in Yujingyuan to make him forget it, this is because he didn't understand the customs of Fusang.
After drinking afternoon tea, the intermediary Jian San said that he wanted to send Li Ruofan over. Li Ruofan said that it is better to go to Yujing Garden first, after all, this puppet of Yuko Kitagawa is a bit big, so it is better to put it at home first. In addition, you can also drive the Tianting version of the BMW home, and save a taxi.
The intermediary Jian San drove the car to the door of the villa and left quickly. When Fuso people want to make friends with you, they will make you feel very comfortable whether they talk or do things, which is a kind of humility in the bones, which often melts people's defenses.
It was the first time for Yuko Kitagawa to come to Li Ruofan's villa, and she was very curious about Yiqiē.
Li Ruofan didn't care, poured a cup of yellow essence powder and handed it to Yuko Kitagawa and went to the bedroom to see how to place the puppet first.
The bedroom is relatively large, and it really needs to be decorated, otherwise the appliances always feel a little cold.
Kitagawa Yuko came in and said with a smile: "Your master bedroom is so big, such a big villa, don't you hire a nanny?"
Li Ruofan said: "Isn't that Hu Ximei, in fact, when you make a request, you can ask me for a Zhuyan Dan, don't you want to stay forever?"
Kitagawa Yuzi pursed his lips and said: "Li Ruofanjun really regards Yuzi as a friend, which is far more important than a Zhuyan Pill. (To be continued.) )
