Chapter 1086: But What's the Reason
She thought that his so-called kung fu of a cup of tea was to walk past a cup of tea like he was walking unhurriedly. Unexpectedly, he didn't go far ahead, but he entered a mansion on the side, and led a tall horse from it, and took her away so quickly, and a cup of tea arrived.
At this time, the sun in the sky has been slightly southward, and it is about the beginning of the year, and it is just in time to catch up with the market, and the foot of Huishan is very lively.
Zhu Changxun turned over and dismounted neatly, helped her get down from above, spent some silver to tie the horse to a big cedar tree by the side of the tea shed, and asked the little brother who opened the tea shed to help take care of it, and then led her into the crowd.
Under his leadership, after walking around the foot of the mountain where the traders gathered and people came and went, Jiang Shu inadvertently turned his head, and caught a glimpse of a stall on the ground on the side full of all kinds of colorful clay sculptures.
Zhu Changxun then followed, seeing that she looked interested and interested, he looked down at the stall and said, "Do you like it?" ”
"Well, these little people and animals are really exquisitely done!" Jiang Shu nodded with a smile, raised his hand and pointed to a cute male doll at his feet, "I recognize this, this is Da Ah Fu-"
She remembers that in her primary school art textbook, there seemed to be an illustration of this – this is the famous intangible cultural heritage – the Huishan Clay Figure.
"The male doll is called Ah Fu, the female doll is called Ah Xi, the two are a pair of golden boys and girls," the plainly dressed stall owner old man had a simple and kind smile on his wrinkled face, stretched out his hand and pointed to the female doll next to him who was also smiling, looked at Zhu Changxun on the side, and said in a thick Wudi accent, "Childe, buy a pair for Mrs., you can keep peace, auspiciousness, happiness, and happiness." ”
"Oh?" Jiang Shu was a little curious when he heard this, "But what is the reason?" ”
The old man looked down at the two little people on the stall again, and smiled kindly: "Legend has it that a long, long time ago, a green-haired lion came to the foot of this Hui Mountain, specializing in eating children, and many children in the village were eaten by it, and the people had to ask the gods in the sky for help in order to seek peace. When the fairy heard what happened to them, he came to the world in the form of a golden boy and a jade girl, and cast a spell to subdue the green-haired lion. Since then, the villagers have lived a peaceful and peaceful life. In order to commemorate this pair of golden boys and girls, people made their appearance with clay and named them Ah Fu and Ah Xi. Since then, Ah Fu and Ah Xi have become symbols of happiness and auspiciousness, passed down from generation to generation. Our people in Huishan, every household is blessed with Afu and Axi, and they will bless us with good weather and abundant harvests; If you are away from home, you will also bring a pair to ensure a safe and smooth journey. ”
"Then it seems that we really have to buy a pair," Jiang Shu smiled and looked at Zhu Changxun beside him after hearing this, "Maybe it can bless us and the people affected by the disaster in Huguang." ”
"Okay," Zhu Changxun tugged at the corners of his lips lightly, took out a few pieces of broken silver from his sleeve, and handed them to the old man, "Trouble the old man to wrap it up." ”
"Childe, if you can't make so many, ten copper plates will be fine." The old man glanced at the silver in his hand, but did not reach for it.
"You just take it," Jiang Shu raised his hand and grabbed the small piece of silver from Zhu Changxun's hand, took two steps forward, and put it in his palm, "You gave us such a big blessing, what is this little silver." ”
"Thank you, madam, thank you, son-" Seeing that they were all dressed and talking, not like ordinary people, and knowing that they didn't care about this little silver, the old man stopped refusing to shirk, put away the broken silver into his arms, picked up a cardboard box from the side, and wrapped the pair of little people for them.
