Chapter 312: The Couch
This time Huang Yan got married, and they bought a new two-bedroom house outside as a new house. Although it is second-hand, Wu Jiaqi is still very envious. She has been wandering in Tanzhou, and she doesn't know when she will have her own home. Now that she is with Zheng Falei, maybe this expectation will last longer, but she has no regrets.
Since Zheng Falei worked in Xuan Yazhai, Wu Jiaqi also often came here to play. She and Huang Yan are very good friends, and when the two are together, in addition to talking about Zheng Falei, I am afraid that the most talked about is the antiques in the store. Wu Jiaqi was originally making jewelry, and some aspects are similar to antiques. Now Huang Yan is on leave, but with the information that Yu Lifei brought back from Yangcheng, she will be able to get started soon.
"Brother Lei, Jiaqi, Xuan Yazhai will ask you." Yu Lifei said that he told Wu Jiaqi the password of the safe, and also told her some banking business, believing that with Wu Jiaqi's ability, he would be able to adapt quickly.
"Lifei, don't worry, I will treat Xuan Yazhai as my own business." Zheng Falei said solemnly.
"I believe that after drinking Brother Ren and Huang Yan's wedding wine today, I don't know when I will be able to drink your wedding wine." Yu Lifei said with a smile.
"There will be such a day." Zheng Falei took Wu Jiaqi's delicate hand and said confidently. Wu Jiaqi is a very reserved person, he was held by Zheng Faré, and when he said such a "bold" word, his face turned crimson.
"Jiaqi, I'm going to redecorate the house over there, are you also moving to Tanshan Garden?" Yu Lifei asked. Originally, he arranged for Zheng Falei to live with Wu Jiaqi, but there were more than 1,000 antiques in Villa No. 9, and if there was no trustworthy person to live there at night, he was really not at ease.
"Redecorate?" Wu Jiaqi said.
"Yes." Yu Lifei said that he only spent 30,000 yuan on that house, and if Zheng Falei and Wu Jiaqi get married in the future, he is ready to give this house to them.
"Alright then, I'll move in in a few days." Wu Jiaqi's face turned red. Said softly.
She is delicate, she has never heard Huang Yan say that Yu Lifei wants to decorate the house before. Besides, Yu Lifei has already bought Villa No. 9, how can he still decorate that two-bedroom house? He did this, probably because he wanted to give himself and Zheng Falei a chance.
With Wu Jiaqi in the store, Yu Lifei no longer has to worry about things in the store. At present, the supply of Xuan Yazhai is sufficient, the antique shop is not open for three years, open for three years, he has more than 3,000 antiques, of which more than 1,000 pieces of fine products are collected by him. Nearly two thousand antiques remained. For at least one year, there is no need to worry about the supply of goods.
"Lifei, where is it?" As soon as Yu Lifei returned to the office, he received a call from Yan Liqiang, and before he could speak, he heard Yan Liqiang ask eagerly.
"I just went back to the office, are you done?" Yu Lifei asked.
"Yes, I'm going to drag the rest back, do you think it's convenient now?" Yan Liqiang asked. Last night's four large red sandalwood stools were enough for him to enjoy in the study all night. Today he sent two generous stools to a leader, and the other party was very satisfied. He is now more interested in several other things at the Datuo police station.
Trade in antiques. Pay attention to one-hand delivery and one-hand delivery, although Yu Lifei only delivered part of the goods, he wanted to complete the transaction quickly. As for the infrastructure project of the Datuo Police Station in the future, in fact, it can only be regarded as a continuation of this transaction.
"Yes. Just call a tricycle. Yu Lifei reminded. Now everyone at the police station is off duty. If it is pulled out with a tricycle again, it will not attract anyone's attention at all.
"Okay." Yan Liqiang suddenly came to his senses, if he used a van. While safe, it may arouse suspicion from others. If you tow it away on a tricycle, you won't say anything even if you see it. He thought to himself that Yu Lifei had only been at the police station for more than half a month, but this thought had already been experienced.
As expected, Yan Liqiang sent someone to drive a tricycle, and even if someone saw it, he didn't ask a word. Yu Lifei just said hello to Lao Zhaotou, and pulled him out very smoothly.
After Yan Liqiang received the goods, he called Yu Lifei again, and Yan Liqiang's voice was filled with irrepressible excitement: "Lifei, do you have time?" Have you seen the palms and eyes together? ”
"Okay." Yu Lifei nodded, he had also checked some information about the shelf bed and the bed in the past few days, and he also wanted to take a serious look at the two beds. And he asked for leave today, and now he leaves the police station, and no one else will say anything.
Today, the main thing that pulled over was a bed frame and a bed, and a cabinet. The bed frame and bed couch are red sandalwood, and the cabinet is huanghuali. These things are very good furniture. When Yu Lifei arrived at Villa 18, Yan Liqiang had already set up the bed frame in the garage. Don't look at the bed when it's laid out, it's a complicated process. Yu Lifei noticed that there was a middle-aged man beside Yan Liqiang, who was concentrating on installing the bed.
"Lifei, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Gao Yan, a well-known furniture appraisal expert in our city, who has a deep study of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Lao Gao, this is Yu Lifei, my friend, these things were also discovered by him. Yan Liqiang pointed to the middle-aged man who was busy and said.
"Hello Mr. Gao." Yu Lifei said with a smile.
"Hello." Gao Yan just nodded towards Yu Lifei, and turned his attention to the shelf bed again.
"Lifei, you own an antique shop, you should also study beds, right?" Yan Liqiang asked.
"I can't talk about research, I can only have some understanding, and I am far from being able to compare with Mr. Gao." Yu Lifei said humbly.
"Let's talk as we watch." Yan Liqiang said that he likes qiē antiques, but he does not have time to study them.
"In ancient Chinese, many single words, sometimes in double meanings, refer to two things. For example, when we say 'bed', we first refer to the seat, which is slowly transformed from a seat into a pure bedding. Of course, there was a process of this transformation, and the early bed had the dual function of both a seat and a bedding. For example, the explanation of the bed in the "Shuowen" is: 'The bed, the one who sits in peace.' 'Make it clear that the bed is a seat.
And Liu Xi of the Han Dynasty "Interpretation of Names? In the Bed Ledger, it says: "The bed on which a man sits is called a bed." To make it clear, the bed has two functions: sitting and lying. In the early days, because we were a people who slept on the earth, sleeping and entertaining were the same place. The place where the host sleeps at night, and during the day, the bunk is rolled up, and it becomes a hospitality center. At night, I opened the bed and went to bed again. Chinese did not have the concept of living room for a long time, because we first entertained guests in the sleeping place, and the bedroom also had the function of a living room.
Brother Qiang, you should know that in the past ten years, the house we have built has only one bedroom, one living room, three bedrooms and two living rooms. In the past, there was no hall in the house, but it was a two-bedroom or three-bedroom apartment. The door is the foyer, enter the door to change shoes, and enter the house. The hospitality must be in the bedroom, there is no living room. So the bed in ancient times, was multifunctional. Yu Lifei said.
"It used to be a tube building, but since we have a separate bathroom at home, we have also started to have a living room." Yan Liqiang nodded, his Lihe Group has a construction company, and he still knows a lot about this aspect.
"There should be a variety of beds in ancient times, right?" Yan Liqiang asked. He wouldn't ask Gao Yan such a question, he was a professional player, and he didn't bother to answer such a shallow question.
"There are four types of beds: a bed, an arhat bed, a shelf bed, and a step bed. Now Mr. Gao is assembling the lower part of the shelf bed. This is the bed. Yu Lifei pointed to the thing next to him that was nearly two meters long, one meter and five meters wide, and fifty centimeters high.
"If you don't say it, I thought it was a coffee table, and it would be quite appropriate in the living room." Yan Liqiang said with a smile.
"If you really do this, you'll be laughed at by the connoisseurs. The explanation of the couch in the "Interpretation of the Name" is: "The couch is long and narrow and humble, and it is said that the couch is close to the ground." 'Humility, that is, low status, narrow, low, close to the ground, is the characteristics of the couch. The couch is flat and falls on all fours. Therefore, a bedding with no railing, no sbib, a flat surface, and a four-legged floor is a couch. Yu Lifei said.
"When we say lodging, do we mean the bed?" Yan Liqiang asked.
"Yes, when it comes to staying, there is another allusion. There was a famous minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty named Chen Fan, who had an upright temperament and was a very honest official. Chen Fan likes to make friends with people with integrity. We are generally not right about things, but he is often not right about people. He doesn't see anyone he looks down on. If you can see someone, he will set up a special couch to greet guests. His couch is usually hung on the wall, and once an important guest comes, who is the person he values, he will take this couch off the wall and let the guests rest, so it is called 'stay'. Yu Lifei said with a smile.
"I often talk about staying, but I really don't know this allusion." Yan Liqiang said with a smile.
Originally, Gao Yan had been carefully assembling the shelf bed, and when he heard Yu Lifei and Yan Liqiang talk about some allusions to the bed, he was also listening there. He originally thought that Yu Lifei was so young, and he was afraid that he didn't know much about bed. He is somewhat similar to the character of Chen Fan that Yu Lifei said just now, he is not a person he values, and he also ignores him.
"In fact, there is an allusion, 'On the side of the couch, how can others sleep soundly?' This couch is also talking about sleeping utensils. Gao Yan said lightly.
"Mr. Gao is very knowledgeable and admirable." Yu Lifei complimented. Since he worked at the Tanzhou Museum, he has become much more tactful. Especially after arriving at the Datuo Police Station, because I often have to lead the police officers in the station to study, I also have to talk to them and communicate with them, and I pay great attention to what I say.
"I've just been exposed to a lot and have some understanding. Since you know the couch, you should also know the Luohan bed, right? Gao Yan asked.
PS: It's the middle of the month, ask for a monthly pass, and now it's three hundred years later, and every time I see the ranking, my face is hot. (To be continued......)
