Chapter 109: Moving into a new house is a blessing in disguise
The house is not big, but it is very exquisite, inside and outside the two entrances, on the big red vermilion door, the golden plum floating nails are shining, and the two stone lions in front of the door have hideous faces.
The servant Yahuan was already waiting in front of the door, and when she saw the three of them, they were all called old man and young lady, as if they were welcoming their master home.
This battle is a bit big, and it is another headache, and the picture of the Li family brothers forcibly forming a good relationship comes to mind, and the Zuo family is also a kind of forcible behavior, but it is difficult to refuse.
He had several twists and turns with the father and son of the Zuo family, and only then did he leave two servants, a cook and a maid, and said that he didn't like to be served by people in everything, like a puppet. In addition, a specially equipped carriage and the coachman also retreated.
Seeing his resolute attitude, the father and son of the Zuo family had no choice but to obey their fate, after all, it was already a big concession to be able to come to this house, and they naturally couldn't act too much.
Besides, the Zuo family has never understood the relationship with Xiao Nier, one claims to be his sister, and the other insists that he is Yahuan, which makes them also confused. They had to guess that they had an affair with Xiao Nier, but it was not appropriate to make it public for the time being.
After the Zuo family left, the house suddenly quieted down, and Xiao Nier returned to normal at this time, and said with a smile: "That's it, I'm Yahuan, where do I use others." ”
The cook who was just about to rest in her room also wondered when she heard it: How can a girl dare to be short with her master's brother, isn't this looking for a fight.
Besides, when I finished washing up and returned to my room, I was greeted by the smell of luxury. A rosewood bed is covered with thick bedding, the sheets and quilt are Suzhou embroidery, the bed curtain hangs down the golden tassels, which are also Suzhou embroidery, and even the curtains are also splendid.
Besides, I wonder when Su embroidery became so worthless and became a cabbage on the street. And it is also one of the four major families in Suzhou, Xue's Su embroidery.
Su embroidery not only became a treasure in later generations, but it was also very valuable at that time, and ordinary people would never be able to afford it, at least besides, they couldn't find a piece of Su embroidery from the four major families at home.
There are Xue, Wang, Sima, and Liu in Suzhou embroidery, and the Suzhou embroidery of these four families is the best. Turning to look at the Suzhou embroidery products in me, even the visionary ones admitted that they were excellent works of art, created on silk and silk fabrics with gold thread and embroidery needles.
Embroidery was extremely common at that time, just like calligraphy, literate people would write with a brush, and girls at that time learned needlework from an early age. However, only Suzhou embroidery has reached the artistic realm, in fact, not the embroidery from Suzhou is a work of art, and the Suzhou embroidery in people's mouth refers to the fine products.
Among these masterpieces, the four masters have reached the top, and each is good at winning, just like the supremacy of the four masters of Ou, Chu, Yan and Liu in calligraphy. The embroiderers in Suzhou will hold an event every year, which is no less than the scene of the township test.
Besides, my father took their brother and sister to watch a few events, and it was really a grand occasion, not only was there a sea of people, but also almost all the celebrities in Jiangnan gathered together, and the status of the doctor was not able to get a seat.
Guo Zhong looked at the event and told them that there is no cheap product in a hundred lines, as long as they reach the peak, they all have a great realm. At that time, I only watched the excitement and didn't pay attention to it, but now that I think about it, is it something else?
Look at the tables and chairs in the room, it is also a color of rosewood, and a beast-shaped incense burner on the table is spraying sandalwood, this sandalwood is also the best, there is no smoke, take a breath, refreshing people's hearts, and the whole person seems to have a fragrance. On the table there are four treasures of the study, as well as a set of tea sets, which are the tributes of Ruyao.
A charcoal fire burned in a small red clay stove on the ground, and the water in a delicate red clay pot on top was just boiling. Besides, open a tea tube and take out a ball of milled tea leaves from it. He didn't know what kind of tea it was, at least he couldn't tell what kind of tea was milled by this process.
He threw the tea leaves into the teapot and watched the ripples of the boiling water, which could neither be large nor small.
There is no tool to adjust the size of the heat, so I just blow with my mouth, but I can control it to a certain extent.
Suddenly, the aroma of tea wafts throughout the house, and it smells more comfortable than sandalwood, and the fairyland on earth is nothing more than that.
"Not bad. He muttered to himself, then picked up the red clay teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
"You're so comfortable and comfortable, why don't you worry. Xiao Nier, in her underwear, walked in.
"Come on, just right, have a cup of tea. "And pour him a glass too.
"Ah, your house is so beautiful? No, I'm going to live here. Her eyes straightened.
"Is this embroidered? it's so beautiful, how did you embroider it?" Xiao Nier admired as she stroked the beautiful bed.
"This is Su Xiu, Xue Ji's. "Besides, he pretended to be an insider.
In fact, he also saw the above signs to recognize, otherwise, he really can't distinguish the embroidery workers of the four families, this is not like calligraphy, each school is distinct, you can see which one at a glance.
"What is Xue Ji?"
"It's a family, specializing in embroidery, which is a must in the sea. Suzhou pays tribute to the emperor every year. "Besides, explain.
"It's very valuable, but the bed and quilt like this are not available on the market, and it is estimated that they are specially customized by the Zuo family. I don't know how much it's worth, but it won't be a small amount anyway. ”
According to his knowledge of the very barren Suzhou embroidery industry, it is estimated that the Suzhou embroidery in the house is worth about 1,000 taels of silver. This house is said to be worth about 1,500 taels of silver, and the Su embroidery in the house, plus the tables and chairs, is basically this price, not to mention anything else, at least the incense burner is also worth a lot of money.
"It's nice to live in a house like this every day. Xiao Nier showed a very envious expression.
Besides, he really didn't feel anything good, he was not interested in luxurious things, according to his thoughts, the bedding, bed, curtains, these are still cotton, the tables and chairs are made of ordinary wood, why do you have to use rosewood?
"Okay, when I get rich in the future, I'll furnish you a house like this. Besides, he laughed.
"Forget it, I want to live like this, what kind of young grandmother lives? She suddenly became excited.
And there are no words. Every time the topic comes here, it gets stuck and I can't continue.
"Oh, there's still a snack, I'm just hungry. ”
Xiao Nier saw all kinds of pastries on a small coffee table, walked over and picked them up and ate them, and then took the tea that she had been serving.
"Hey, this coffee table seems to be from Nanmu. "Besides, I didn't look at the snacks, but I found that the coffee table was extraordinary.
Later generations of Nanmu is not as tense as the Ming and Qing dynasties, because the means of transportation are advanced, and the construction has canceled the beams, columns, which are the most expensive methods of Nanmu, so although the price of Nanmu products is still high, it is still commonly used.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Nanmu was basically monopolized by the royal family as a building, in order to pursue its immortality, the beams and columns of Nanmu can experience a hundred years of wind and rain, so the Forbidden City can be maintained from the Ming Dynasty to later, if it is a general building wood, it is impossible to have such a long life.
It is said that one year there was a fire in the west garden of the imperial palace and several palaces were burned, and Emperor Jiajing urged the Ministry of Industry to repair it immediately every day, but it was delayed for a long time because of the lack of nanmu.
Emperor Jiajing was anxious to restore the palace, so he proposed to use general building materials to repair the palace, and the ministers said that it could not last without Nanmu, and this was not the architectural specifications of the palace. Emperor Jiajing was so angry that he scolded the ministers: Nanmu is long-lasting, but it can't help but burn, what is the difference between it and ordinary building materials? !
The ministers also deliberately prevaricated, in order to let the emperor return to the palace, which was later the Forbidden City, instead of staying in the West Garden for a long time without returning. Emperor Jiajing is more energetic, if the Xiyuan Palace is not repaired intact, he will not return to the palace.
Later, Xu Jie, a university scholar, adjusted it and thought of a compromise solution, demolishing some unimportant buildings and adding some stored Nanmu to restore the Xiyuan Palace.
Xiao Nier ate a few pieces of snacks, then walked to the bed, jumped up, lay on the bed, and shouted, "It's so comfortable, come here." ”
Besides, he smiled: "If you are comfortable, you will lie down, I will give you this house, and I will live in another room." ”
"I didn't rob your house, I asked you to come over. Xiao Nier's index finger hooked.
Besides, I was stunned, what's wrong with this kid, who he learned badly from, he knows how to hook people.
However, when he heard Xiao Nier's rare commanding tone, he still obediently passed. Knowing that she had been holding back the fire all night, she would never have good fruit to eat if she provoked her.
"Come, lie down here. Xiao Nier moved inside, lying on her side and looking at him.
Besides, lie down honestly: "What do you old man command?"
"Yes, didn't you say you wanted to be entertained with me all night? Xiao Nier suddenly looked at him with silky eyes.
"Don't, don't do this, I can't admit it's a puppy. "Besides, seeing her pretending to be charming, I feel creepy.
"You...... You really hate me so much, you'd rather admit that you're a puppy than ......follow me," Xiao Nier suddenly looked like she had been beaten by frost, her eyes turned red again, and at the same time, her face was even more humiliated after being rejected.
"No, it's not like that. It's all about it. Am I not tired?"
"Then what do you say is going on? You have been eyebrow-raising with that Miss Zuo all night, and you can't wait to eat others, how can you see me as if you have seen a monster, am I so ugly, so hated?" Xiao Nier really cried.
"Don't, listen to me, first, I didn't make eye contact with Miss Zuo. ”
"But she has been eye-to-eyeing with you all night, and when I don't see it, I'm not blind. ”
"That's her, not me. You can't stir up a piece, you have to be responsible. ”
Moreover, the tone is resolute, and there must be no half-concession in this kind of major right and wrong.
"It's your responsibility, it's your responsibility to allow her to make eye contact with you, which is equivalent to what you want to do with her. Xiao Nier insisted.
Besides, shouting wronged, what kind of equation is this, it's too unreasonable. If according to this theory, the world will be in chaos, and the person who is stolen because he is accidentally stolen by someone is equivalent to committing the crime of stealing, and he who is robbed by others, because he is allowed to rob, he is also guilty of robbery...... This, is there still a Heavenly Principle King Law?!
I'm wronged.
