Chapter 41: Knot Culture
The next evening, the four returned happily. Especially Ding Liren, who couldn't find his eyes when he smiled, and as soon as he went home, he told his mother and sister about the things in the private school.
Daddy went to talk to my husband. Mr. not only didn't get angry, but also told Ding Liren not to be burdened, and he didn't allow his classmates to laugh at him anymore. said that if he worked hard, he would definitely be able to be admitted to the Jinshi in the future.
Xiao Zheng worked harder and took the initiative to ask to sleep half an hour late.
Bad things turn into good things, and that Mr. Li is really a good teacher with virtue.
On the tenth day of the first month of March, the red morning sun hangs obliquely in the east, and the leaves are rolling with bright dewdrops.
It rained lightly yesterday, but the ground was still moist.
Ding Zhao drove the ox cart from the backyard to the front yard, Ding Zhuang took the cloves and got into the car first, and Zhang took a small thin quilt to wrap the cloves before sitting on it with his two sons.
Kuroko didn't take it with him when he got to the door.
This is Lilac's second trip to the county seat, and she is very excited, stretching her neck and looking around.
Large areas of fertile land are rolling in the green waves, and farmers are busy in the fields. Weeping willows sway in the wind, green grasses and unknown wildflowers can be seen everywhere, and the shallows crisscross the road not far away.
It is a land of fishing and rice, and water resources are extremely abundant. If there are no natural or man-made disasters, people will be more diligent and have no problem with a full stomach.
Looking up at the sky, there are several birds flying in the sky.
Lilac wants to fly.
Feifei is the young eagle with a broken leg, who came to visit Lilac at home last summer.
At that time, Lilac had just learned to speak and gave the eagle this name.
Feifei grew a lot, spread her wings and hugged Lilac, and her little head went under her armpits.
Maybe Feifei knew that he still had to continue to practice his skills, so he flew away after staying for a day.
Lilac is particularly envious of Feifei, who is an adult at the age of four, and can fly as much as she wants.
And human beings, who are still young children at the age of four, still have to live under the protection of adults.
The ox cart passed through a large wheat field and arrived at the Heilong River. The river is a smooth official road, along the river to the north, the ox cart walks for an hour and a half to the south gate of the county seat.
The Heilong River bypasses the county seat and meets the Jingqian Canal outside the north gate.
After entering the city, Ding Zhao directly drove the ox cart to the car dealer not far from the city gate to store it, and the family walked and went shopping.
At this time, it was early noon, and several people went straight to Jinhu Street, the most prosperous street in the county.
Outside Linshui County, there is the Gyeonggyeon Grand Canal Wharf, which has convenient transportation and a prosperous economy, and there are many merchants from the north and south who do business, as well as merchants from the Goryeo Kingdom.
In particular, Jinhu Street, facing the lake on one side and the street on the other, is lined with shops.
The lake rocks many boats, including several painted boats with floors.
The boat was very beautiful, and Lilac pointed there and said, "Big boat." ”
Ding Zhuang blocked the sight of the lake with his big hand, "That boat is not good." ”
Lilac understands that the painting boat is not a cruise ship, but a flower boat.
Zhang stretched out his hand to take the cloves, but Ding Zhuang didn't give them.
"If you can't hold this little baby, it's time to have an idle meal."
Ding Zhao stretched out his hand again and wanted to hug it, but Ding Zhuang still didn't give it.
The young couple threw their hands empty, and the old man hugged the child, which received many contemptuous glances.
Ding Zhao and both of them blushed, and Ding Zhuang didn't realize it.
They went to the ink studio first and bought Ding Lilai a pen holder carved with magpies climbing branches.
Ding Xiang said, "I have private money, so I can buy a Dapeng wings for my eldest brother." ”
This kind of pen holder costs 160 yuan, and her private money is not enough at all, so she deliberately told her grandfather.
Ding Zhuang listened to Da Le, "Xiangxiang still remembers that Dapeng spreads its wings, it's so smart." Tsk, except for my granddaughter, no one's granddaughter can do it. Xiangxiang's private room was kept to buy candy to eat, and the master paid for it. ”
I bought Ding Lichun a pen holder carved with Dapeng spreading its wings.
Ding Lichun glanced at his sister gratefully.
My sister is so nice!
They went to the cloth village and bought a piece of willow green silk for Lilac, which was cool and beautiful to make a skirt in summer.
At the end of noon, several people entered Tianxiangju.
Xiao Er is wearing a short gray brown, with a headscarf on his head and a handkerchief on his shoulders, which is similar to the dress of Xiao Er in the film and television dramas of his previous life.
"What do you order?"
Ding Zhuang looked at his granddaughter and grandson very democratically.
Ding Liren said, "I want to eat Sixi balls." ”
Ding Lichun said, "I want to eat spiced grilled chicken." ”
The lilac parrot said, "Meatballs, grilled chicken." ”
Ding Zhuang said to Xiao Er, "A four-happiness ball, a five-spice roast chicken, a braised tofu, a vegetarian little white siad, a vermicelli soup, and a pot of two pots." ”
It is rare for the family to have such luxury, so happy that Ding Liren scratches his ears and cheeks.
When the wine and food came up, Zhang took the cloves and let them drink with their father and son.
Zhang fed the cloves, quickly finished the meal by herself, and offered to go to the embroidery workshop to sell the yarn she had saved for two months. She didn't want to sell them behind their backs for money, but Ding Zhuang's father and son felt that they were big men and didn't like to visit the embroidery workshop.
Ding Zhuang took out twenty yuan and said, "Buy two beautiful head flowers for Xiangxiang." ”
Zhang didn't answer, and said with a smile, "I have money." ”
Ding Zhao wanted to take Lilac over, but Lilac hugged Zhang's neck and said, "Xiangxiang is going to the embroidery workshop." ”
She had long wanted to visit the embroidery workshop.
The golden silk embroidery workshop is diagonally opposite the restaurant, and it is also a two-story shop. Pink walls and tiles, red carved doors and windows, a few hanging lanterns hang down, this street is outstanding, at first glance is the top luxury shops in Linshui County.
Zhang said that the Golden Silk Embroidery Workshop is the largest embroidery workshop in Linshui County, and it is ranked first in the entire Jiaodong Province.
As soon as I entered the embroidery workshop, Lilac's eyes were not enough.
Small items such as purses, fans, silk flowers, velvet flowers, knots, and ropes hanging and placed on the wooden lattice are colorful and diverse.
The female shopkeeper was surprised to see Lilac. I heard Zhang say that his daughter was good-looking, but he didn't expect it to be so good.
Where is this like a child who crawled out of Zhang's belly, it is the jade girl in the New Year's painting.
She thought so in her heart, but said with a smile, "Ouch, what a cute little girl, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful child when I've lived so old." ”
Seeing the shopkeeper's expression, Zhang knew what she thought. smiled, "Xiangxiang looks like my mother-in-law." ”
She took out a handful of winds and a slightly larger knot from her bosom.
The shopkeeper gave her a lot of money, and her eyes were reluctant to leave Lilac's face.
Zhang bought two head flowers for the children to wear. Seeing that the girl liked to see it, he hugged her and walked around the first floor.
Lilac looks mainly at knots.
After the winding is thickened, it is a knot.
Weaving is one of the oldest crafts, and the ingenious ancient people not only developed the knot into a knot, and the knot into a variety of ornaments, but also developed into a culture.
The union of husband and wife is a knot, the end of the story is a knot, the unity of the heart is unity, and the gap between the heart is the knot......
An inch of concentric wisps, a thousand-year-old flower.
The heart is like a double wire net, and there are thousands of knots in it.
……
There are many poems that describe or use knots to express lyricism.
In various knots, people give various meanings and emotions. For example, concentric strands, auspicious cloud knots, brocade knots, plate length knots, diamond knots, and so on.
These knots have been developed for thousands of years, and they are still loved by people in modern times.
