Chapter 149

Lu Jinjing has embroidered some handkerchiefs in the past few days, which is different from last time, this time she embroidered bamboo.

She was going to sell handkerchiefs not just to women, but also to men. The men of this dynasty also used handkerchiefs, but a big man was a little embarrassed to hold an embroidered handkerchief, so she embroidered bamboo.

Bamboo gentleman, Shi-sama, Chitose friend, four o'clock spring. The symbolism of bamboo is always upright, and bamboo symbolizes the flexibility and strength of life, longevity, tranquility, happiness and harmony. Bamboo is elegant and charming, slender and soft, evergreen and undefeated, symbolizing eternal youth; The bamboo is chic and upright, beautiful and handsome, symbolizing the demeanor of a gentleman; The bamboo is hollow, modest, introverted and low-key, symbolizing the humble character; The bamboo is bent but not broken, and it is constantly broken, symbolizing integrity and arrogance; Bamboo is born with knots, and the bamboo knots will be exposed, symbolizing the high wind and bright festival, rich in integrity.

The most common symbolic meaning of bamboo is the qualities that a gentleman should have, such as modesty, integrity, uprightness, not afraid of coercion and temptation, and self-perseverance. Bamboo is also elegant, pure, modest, and a symbol of spiritual culture, the ancient and modern gardens are almost no garden without bamboo, and there are bamboos in the house, then the secluded fence blows the window, and the courtyard is full of clear air; The bamboo shadow is swaying, the posture is in the painting, the green leaves do not wither in winter, delicate and chic. "Don't live without bamboo", which means that you are different from those who chase fame and fortune in the world, and you only pursue the ideals in your own mind. The bright moon is like frost, and the cool breeze is like water. In the courtyard, the green bamboo whispers according to the steps, straight and strong, that is, there is the iron bone of plum blossoms and frost and snow, and there is the high purity of the orchid emerald color for a long time, and with its strong knots, emptiness, and sparse personality, the poet fully appreciates the gentleman's style in it. Its "Jinjie" represents the unyielding integrity; Its "emptiness" represents humility; It is "sparse", representing the poet's excellence.

Bamboo grows silently in the barren mountains and mountains, whether it is the peaks and peaks, or the ditches and ditches, it can survive tenaciously in adversity with perseverance. Although she has guarded the boundless loneliness and desolation for many years, and endured the whipping and torture of wind, frost, snow and rain all year round, she has always "clung to the green mountains", concentrated, and has no regrets. For thousands of years, the character image of bamboo has been clear and clear, and the character image of the high wind and bright festival has been admired by others.

Bamboo has no distracting thoughts, willing to be lonely, it does not seek to smell in the forest, does not admire the lively in the mountains, thousands of years have passed, but finally become this sea-like climate. Bamboo light and delicate, evergreen all year round, despite all kinds of tenderness, but never grandiose, not domineering, humble and energetic, simple and unpretentious is its character. Bamboo does not bloom, light and elegant, spotless, she does not want to be gorgeous, does not seek false fame of the natural nature of the world to pour.

The sound of bamboo swishing in the breeze and the sparse shadow under the night moon all deeply moved the literati and artists. The verdant character of bamboo in the wind and frost made the poet even more like-minded, so most of the Chinese literati's living rooms were planted with bamboo. "How can there be no such king for a day"; "It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo. No meat makes people thin, and no bamboo makes people vulgar. People are thin and fat, but there is no cure for the vulgar. ”

"Ah Fu, you can take it out and sell it." After Lu Jinjing was ready, he gave the handkerchief to Ah Fu, and this time there were five handkerchiefs, two more than the last time.

"Girl, I know." Ah Fu didn't even look at it, so he directly agreed quickly.

"Ah Fu, this time, you pick a man to sell the handkerchief first." Lu Jinjing said with some unplayful words.

She also knew that this was very difficult, and it was not good for a girl to go to the street to find a man to buy things.

"I see, girl." Ah Fu doesn't have so many concerns, anyway, selling handkerchiefs to anyone is selling, for her, there is no difference.

Soon, Ah Fu ran to a crowded place and began to sell.

"Do you want to buy a handkerchief?" Ah Fu asked when he saw someone.

"Don't, don't." The man didn't even look at it and walked away.

Ah Fu didn't care and continued to ask.

"Do you want to buy a handkerchief?"

"Don't." The man glanced at it, and it seemed that there was something embroidered on it, and he definitely couldn't ask for it.

Embroidered handkerchiefs are only used by women.

"This son, look at this handkerchief, if you don't like it, you can buy it for your mother, buy it for your wife." Ah Fu shouted.

The boy who had gone turned back and said, "Our family has always been thrifty, and we can't buy such handkerchiefs, little girl, let's sell them to others." ”

Ah Fu nodded, stopped pestering, and turned to ask another son.

"Childe, do you want to buy this handkerchief?" Ah Fu asked.

"Don't." The man said coldly and left.

"What handkerchief, let me see?" A woman approached slowly, and she saw from a distance that the girl was trying to buy a handkerchief.

This method is also rare, others sell handkerchiefs and the like, and the woman's things are in the store, and this girl stands on the street and shouts like this, but it is also commendable courage.

"Girl, look, this handkerchief is made of bamboo, and you can give it to your sweetheart." Ah Fu felt that he had really said everything in order to sell.

"This embroidery is exquisite, but if I take it out and give it away, it must be unique, and you have to guarantee that it will not be sold exactly like this in the future." The woman was worried about what to do if the things she gave out were the same as those of others.

"Yes, but you have to pay some more money, and I promise that there will never be exactly the same bamboo." Although Ah Fu has big nerves, she is not stupid, she embroiders with different patterns, and she doesn't know how much the little master can embroider, so she can only raise the price, otherwise they will lose too much.

"How much silver do you want?" The woman was immediately a little unhappy, if it weren't for the very delicate embroidery of this bamboo, how could she have taken a fancy to such a thing.

"Five taels of silver." Ah Fu could also see that the woman was already unhappy, but she was not timid.

"Yes." Five taels of silver to buy five handkerchiefs, which is not too expensive, is a big deal After she gives the handkerchief, she will ask her father and mother for some more silver.

After Ah Fu finished selling, he went back with five taels of silver.

The woman also bought what she wanted and went back to Lufu.

This woman is Lu Xin, who is about to get married.

"Mother, where is Dad?" As soon as Lu Xin went back, she wanted to find Lu Ming, and she wanted to give her father a handkerchief first, so that she could get some rewards.

"At Aunt Yue's place, what kind of father are you looking for, it's really useless." Cui's glanced at Lu Xin, her daughter is just too heartless.
