Volume 2 The Wind and Clouds Between the Rivers Chapter 254 Shanzuo Town (1)
Brother Cai complained to Chi Qiu again and again, in fact, his good impression was suddenly deepened, and his attitude was completely improved, since he agreed to Yu Cainiang's marriage, Brother Cai also took out a simple folding fan from the secret compartment of his wheelchair armrest and handed it to Yu Cainiang.
In the dark grid, the fan was taken out, and Brother Cai saw that there was a small wooden box, so he took it out: "Chi shopkeeper, this is a seal letter rough stone, as for what material, I can't say, I will give it to you at this moment, how about it as a thank you gift?" I hope you don't dislike it. ”
The box is very exquisite, the antique carving, at a glance it makes people happy (love ài), as for the original stone of the seal letter inside, Chi Qiu also does not understand, but red as chicken blood, beautiful shape, fine quality, a look is also a good rough stone.
Chi Qiu waved his hand and said embarrassedly: "How can this be done." ”
"How can I not do it, although you are not a matchmaker, but the marriage between me and Cai Niang is also matched by you, this rough stone heard that it came from outside the North Place, so I will be a thank you." Brother Cai (Qingqing) is solemn, and it can be seen that he has a resolute attitude.
"Thank you very much." Chi Qiu didn't shirk too much, he knew that people like Brother Cai were unwilling to owe others (qing), since he had given it away, if he didn't accept it, it would be in vain, and this original seal stone as a thank you gift is not valuable, just right.
Brother Cai and Cai Niang's marriage has been settled, naturally there are some hands to deal with, in fact, come forward to match this feeling (Qing Qing), Chi Qiu is also up and down, with his concept, is not to involve other people's feelings (Qing Qing) life, but when it comes to Wuyue, the status disparity between men and women is huge, even if Brother Cai broke his legs, the social status is still Gao Yu Cai Niang does not know much.
And the ancient interpersonal communication seems to be close, in fact, the efficiency is relatively slow, a year of marriage, to be married for a year (qing) situation abounds, Brother Cai and Cai Niang are not young, naturally not so twisted, but the communication between men and women is still very knowledgeable, a misunderstanding, often several years to say clearly, the reason is smooth, sometimes a lifetime of waiting, really look grinding.
Seeing Brother Cai's attitude, Chi Qiu was determined in his heart, and did a good thing for adults, which was also enjoyable, Yu Cainiang was also intimate, and found a yellow satin lock color line lotus butterfly bottle purse for Chi Qiu, so that he could hold the wooden box with the printed stone, but Chi Qiu didn't expect that the first purse in this rumor was actually given to him by Yu Cainiang.
Chi Qiu really wants to go to Yujun Temple to walk around, but unfortunately the time is also a little embarrassing, not early or late at four o'clock, if you enter the temple, you can only go to see the flowers, it is really boring, in fact, the most important reason for Chi Qiu not to go is that at this moment the snow is fluttering, the girls who petition in the temple, the daughters are estimated to have returned, hehe, or next time pick a wind and (Ri) Li's (Riri) Zi into the temple to find out.
Strolling in the small town of Shanzuo, all the way forward, there are many inns here, and the tea house is next to each other, which is much better than the old town.
The most storefronts are still handicraft workshops, according to the practice of Yu Temple, petitioners can ask for a small wooden sign in Yu Temple, write their wishes on it, and then hang it somewhere in Yu Temple, like a wishing tree or a concentric lock in the previous life.
Although it is best to get a wishing card from Yumiao Miaoniang, and then carve your wish with a brush or by yourself
On the card, then put it somewhere in the Yu Temple or take it home.
However, the wishing card with Yu Miaoben (身shēn) is relatively simple, simple in workmanship, and not beautiful in luxury.
Some sons, daughters, and some sophisticated officials and businessmen prefer to ask someone to carve or choose more exquisite wooden bamboo pieces as their own bearers of good wishes.
So shrewd businessmen appeared, many shops outside are craft workshops, they have all kinds of wishing cards, in addition to wood, bamboo, gold, silver and even glass, jade, a lot of rich and noble people, will make a good wishing card here, and then enter the Yu Temple, just one or two silver offerings to the Yu Temple.
This is also due to social needs, and it is understandable.
"Guest officer, do you want to make a wish, there are gold and silver."
This is a shop, look at the signboard should be a time-honored brand, because the signboard is dark and old, the signboard is written with the word "Yu Temple Zhai", Chi Qiu walked around most of the street, and found that the relative pattern of the storefront with the word Yu such as "Yu Jun", "Yu Temple" and "Yu Nu" are relatively old, most of them are old.
As for other stores, the names are more novel, and most of them are marked with the words "Yanhu Branch".
It is true that it can also be said that those storefronts may be relatively large, or they may be time-honored brands in other places, but Chi Qiu shopping is mainly fresh, mainly to admire the ancient Xia Yu Temple, as if I have been to Guangzhou, visited Beijing Road Pedestrian Street, I will always feel that Shangxiajiu is more windy (qing).
Walking into the store, Chi Qiu found that the wishing card was only a small part of it, and it also dealt in luxury goods and collectibles such as glass, jade, cultural toys, calligraphy and painting. This is very surprising, just walked through the street Chi Qiu found that this place is more prosperous than imagined, but such a high-end business, not in the city, outside the city, it is too exaggerated, even if there are patrols and patrols on the streets, the security problem is always not as good as in the city, is the security between the rivers so good?
Entering the store, Chi Qiu was particularly interested in the mirrors placed inside, remembering that in the previous life China already had bronze mirrors in 2000 BC. However, in ancient times, most of the water was used to shine and the bronze ware that held the water was used as a reference. In the Han Dynasty, it was renamed Jian as a mirror. During the Han and Wei dynasties, bronze mirrors gradually became popular, and there were full (body shēn) mirrors. Originally, the bronze mirror was thinner, round with a flange, with ornamentation or inscription on the back, and a semicircular button in the center of the back to place the mirror, without a handle, forming a unique style of Chinese mirror.
The Ming Dynasty introduced glass mirrors. After the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, glass mirrors gradually became popular.
Thanks to the efforts of many "sages", it seems that there is no industrial revolution in the Wuyue Continent, but many things have a certain "leap forward".
In China's traditional stationery utensils, pen, ink, paper, inkstone is the most basic stationery utensils, since the Ming and Qing dynasties, the study has been further developed, there has been a variety of stationery with "pen, ink, paper, inkstone" to match (set tào), mainly pen holder, pen wash, water present, ink (bed chuáng), inkstone, paperweight, printing box, arm rest, seal and so on.
These stationery are of different shapes, finely carved, can be appreciated, and make them become arts and crafts in the study and on the bookcase, so they are also called composition play.
It has only appeared in modern times (as it should be
Xingsheng) walnuts, all kinds of bracelets and other miscellaneous products are also dazzling, occupying most of the store's space.
At this time, it is not a large number of people, but the scene is not deserted.
There are some students who come and go, and most of them live in the area where Xiaowen plays, and after tasting it carefully, Chi Qiu suddenly realized that in fact, the vicinity of this Yu Temple is the "University City".
What is particularly important is that the students of Wuyue are not as poor as modern students, at least there are more rich and noble people, and in a world where the illiteracy rate is still very high, students who can study and enter large colleges and universities for further study generally have a family background that is not too bad, and even very good.
These people, needless to say, have always had amazing spending power, and it is even easy to overconsume, and the ancient students are older than many years, and they also need interpersonal communication. Then the Wuyue Continent also has its own communicative atmosphere, such as the princes, sons-in-law, fellow families, heroes, brothers with different surnames, etc., especially Yanhu has built a (set of tào) imperial examination road, and classmates and lovers have naturally become part of the communication.
Looking at the shape of the (qingqing), some small mirrors, combs, pen washes, seals and other small items sell very well, and they are also very revealing.
Chi Qiu doesn't know how to play, compared to the era when fakes were rampant, he naturally thinks that any object in it, if it can be handed down to modern times, is a work of art.
He was dressed ordinarily, and the maids inside looked at him, and they didn't take him to heart, and one of them came over to greet him, and saw that Chi Qiu didn't have much willingness to buy and left.
Chi Qiu could be said to be penniless in his pocket, so he turned around and came out of the store, and drank too much tea in the afternoon and had some urgency. The scenery of this ancient town is handsome, the streets are clean and tidy, and Chi Qiu is not the master of the three urgency everywhere, so he found a tea shop and asked where the toilet was.
