Europeans and Americans have never seen red sandalwood at first, so they think that red sandalwood has no big material, and red sandalwood can only be used to make some small utensils. Legend has it that there was a five-inch-long model of a rosewood coffin in front of Napoleon's tomb, which surprised visitors and thought it was rare.
As everyone knows, most of the available red sandalwood arrived in China as early as the Ming Dynasty.
Zeng Cheng was watching, and suddenly someone knocked on the door outside, so he stood up and came to open the door, only to find that it was Xing Xiuyan, and the girl ran over in her pajamas.
"Hurry up and let me in!" Xing Xiuyan rubbed his eyes, yawned and said to Zeng Cheng.
Zeng Cheng looked at Xing Xiuyan and found that a large piece of skin on his chest was exposed, so he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and said to her a little jerkyly: "You don't sleep over there, what are you doing here? Besides, if you dress like this, it's easy to tempt people to commit crimes." ”
Xing Xiuyan directly pushed Zeng Cheng away, sat on his bed, and sighed and said: "Alas, Sister Su looks so quiet, but she is not honest when she sleeps, although your bed is big, she can't help but turn over and crush my body." ”
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and let Zeng Cheng take a look.
Zeng Cheng glanced at Xing Xiuyan's arm, it was as pink as a peeled lotus root, where could he see the traces of being crushed? This was clearly the truth that Xing Xiuyan wanted to find an excuse to sneak into his room.
Sure enough, Xing Xiuyan got into Zeng Cheng's quilt, wrinkled his nose and sniffed, and said to him, "It doesn't seem to be very smelly." ”
Zeng Cheng was speechless for a moment, and held back for a long time before saying, "I take a bath every day, where will it stink?"
This is true, the facilities of the Zeng family villa are very advanced, there is a solar energy system, hot water is provided 24 hours a day, and Zeng Cheng has also developed the habit of taking a bath every night before going to bed. Moreover, the quilt on the bed is also changed very diligently, at least once a week, and after each change, the bedding is smoked with lavender, and there will be absolutely no smell.
However, Xing Xiuyan had already occupied her bed, Zeng Cheng didn't know what to do, pushed her, and said, "You get up, I'll go and clean up another guest room for you." ”
"I'm sleepy, I don't want to move. Xing Xiuyan lay on the bed and said motionlessly.
Zeng Cheng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Hey, you occupy my bed, where do I sleep?"
"Sleep with me, I won't take advantage of you......" Xing Xiuyan said with a pout, and moved her body to the side.
However, the space left for Zeng Cheng by this girl is really limited. If Zeng Cheng wanted to sleep in bed, he would definitely have to cling to Xing Xiuyan's body. Zeng Cheng looked at the seductive stunner on the bed, the perfect curve, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
To go on, or not to not? That's a question
"I don't suffer a loss! What am I afraid of?!" Zeng Cheng's psychology finally decided to go to bed after a fierce struggle!
Zeng Cheng held the rosewood needle box, lifted the quilt and got in, and lay down against Xing Xiuyan's back. Although he was ready to turn into a werewolf at any time, his heart was still a little fluttering.
However, Xing Xiuyan didn't seem to be very relaxed, her body moved, and she asked with some complaints: "What do you use to stand up to me, it's so uncomfortable." ”
Zeng Cheng stretched out his hand and grabbed his little brother, and found that he was quite honest, oh, it turned out that the rosewood needle box was holding Xing Xiuyan, so he turned his body around and continued to study this needle box.
Fang Cai Zeng Cheng did not observe carefully, and did not find the peculiarity of this needle box, only knew that it was red sandalwood, and now after looking at it for a long time, he actually found that this is the best variety of red sandalwood, Venus red sandalwood!
Venus rosewood is the top grade of rosewood, the so-called Venus means that after this kind of rosewood is broken, after polishing, every brown eye hole will flash Venus highlights.
In fact, the so-called bright spot is the gelatinous crystallization between the fibers of the tree duct, which is available in other woods, but the red sandalwood is too precious, so it is mythical and excessively praised.
Venus red sandalwood texture is delicate and smooth, the color is purple and black, made into utensils, so that the old, after the pulp, the color is dark gray, simple and deep, especially suitable for fine carving. Because of the heavy quality and dark color, it is also very suitable for making a support seat for gold and jade antiques, so it is widely used by the Forbidden City.
Zeng Cheng posed the needle box back and forth to observe at different angles, and found that its brown eyes were twisted lines, and when viewed sideways, they showed undulating watercress patterns. The satin-like sparkle is gorgeous.
Because the red sandalwood is fine and hard, it can also be made into castanets and other musical instruments, the sound is crisp and solid, not like gold and jade, and it is not as good as gold and jade, which cannot be replaced by other woods.
Xing Xiuyan was lying on the bed, she didn't see Zeng Cheng make any moves for a long time, not to mention how depressed she was, she said that she had done her job of seducing * * to do her part, why didn't Zeng Cheng react at all? This guy doesn't look like a cowardly mouse! Could it be that there is a physical problem? Or is it a problem with sexual orientation? It doesn't seem to be.
Is it because you are not attractive enough?
Thinking of this, Xing Xiuyan's heart suddenly suffered a little bit of gains and losses, and her self-confidence was very hit.
However, when she turned around and saw Zeng Cheng staring at a wooden box with all her attention, Xing Xiuyan almost collapsed. It's really too deceitful, is his charm not as good as a cold wooden box?
Xing Xiuyan stabbed Zeng Cheng with some reluctance and asked, "What are you looking at?"
In fact, Zeng Cheng was also a little uneasy by the fragrance on Xing Xiuyan's body, but fortunately, he is a person who has practiced kung fu, and his mind is far firmer than that of ordinary people, and in the past year or so, he has slept with his girlfriend Fan Xueqing many times, at that time he was more tempted than now, after all, the two are lovers, and it is common for them to sleep together and hug and touch and lick, which greatly exercises Zeng Cheng's anti-temptation ability, and it will not suddenly go crazy.
After hearing Xing Xiuyan's inquiry, Zeng Cheng took the needle box in his hand and let her look at it, and then said, "The needle box that my master gave me." This is rosewood, an antique that is hundreds of years old. ”
Xing Xiuyan touched the needle box with her hand, and felt that it was as smooth as satin, and it didn't feel like wood, so she asked curiously, "Is rosewood good?"
Zeng Cheng immediately replied: "Of course! What is made of rosewood doesn't need to be painted at all, just wax." ”
Then he glanced at Xing Xiuyan and said, "Moreover, the sawdust of this thing can also be beautified." ”
"Can it be beautiful? really?" As soon as Xing Xiuyan heard that this thing could also be beautiful, she immediately came to her senses, sat up, grabbed the needle box and looked up and down, and asked with some disappointment, "How can wood be beautiful, you lied to me, right?"
Zeng Cheng pursed his lips, turned over and got out of bed, rummaged through the bookcase, and found a copy of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", then searched for a long time, turned out a record about rosewood in it, handed it to Xing Xiuyan, and said to her: "The "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that red sandalwood can stop bleeding and pain. One thing in particular is that it can regulate qi and blood, and if you think that this qi and blood are harmonized, the complexion will naturally be good. ”
Xing Xiu looked at the rosewood box very curiously and asked, "But how do you use this wood on your face?"
Zeng Cheng shook his head and sighed: "Stupid! You won't be flexible? Wood can't be used, you can make it into sawdust! Apply the sawdust of rosewood to the skin, rub it repeatedly, and then wash it off with water, and then look at your skin again, as if we have just washed our faces and just applied a layer of skin care products." If you have pimples on your face, apply red sandalwood to your face every night, just like a mask, and you will feel better on your face for about ten minutes. ”
Xing Xiuyan looked at the rosewood needle box suspiciously, looked at Zeng Cheng with a little suspicion, and said, "Really, fake, I always feel a little incredible!"
"Of course, it's true that after repeated rubbing, red sandalwood emits a substance called wood oxygen, which can not only calm the mind, but also promote cell regeneration and prevent the appearance of wrinkles with long-term use. Zeng Cheng explained to Xing Xiuyan, "It's a pity that rosewood is not easy to find, and no one is willing to use whole pieces of rosewood in medicine, and the powder made from leftovers is of course much worse." ”
"Why do you know so many things?" Xing Xiuyan looked at Zeng Cheng with some admiration and said, it was hard for her to imagine that a person's head could hold so much knowledge.
Zeng Chengxin said, it's not the credit of the search engine. As the saying goes, ask Baidu if you don't decide on internal affairs, and look at Google if you don't decide on foreign affairs, with these two aunts, there are really not many questions that can be kept forever. Without seeking a solution, even a super-difficult question such as the origin of the universe and several layers of dimensions can be searched for a bunch of hypothetical answers.
Of course, this is also related to Zeng Cheng's super memory. Otherwise, it's hard to remember something just by watching it on the Internet, and then you turn around and forget it.
Seeing that Zeng Cheng fell into a sluggish state again, Xing Xiuyan was a little unhappy, she poked Zeng Cheng with her arm and said, "Hey, people ask you." ”
When Zeng Cheng looked up at Xing Xiuyan, he saw that this girl was sticking the wood of the needle box on her cheek, rubbing it gently, probably because she had listened to Zeng Cheng's introduction, and she wanted to verify it.
Zeng Cheng couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw Xing Xiuyan's appearance, and said happily: "People use sawdust to massage, but you use wood and carefully rub the skin." ”
"Then can you help me get some sawdust down?" Xing Xiuyan looked at Zeng Cheng with a resentful expression and asked pitifully.
Zeng Cheng's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he said in his heart that this is a treasure given to me by my master, how can it be used to give you skin care!) )
