Living Paper

nostalgia/article

In the courtyard of the Bai family courtyard, several potted flowers were added.

Clusters of golden osmanthus and silver osmanthus are hidden under the leaves, and the house is full of fragrance when the wind blows.

Huo Zhenye was sitting in the courtyard chopping bamboo threads and scraping bamboo strips. The first paper tie that Bai Zhun taught him was to make a money tree.

Bai Zhun squinted and lay on the rocking chair basking in the sun: "This is not suitable for you."

It's too difficult to make a living thing by hand, you have to learn from the paper utensils in the paper house first, and the money tree fits Huo Zhenye's dandy temperament very well.

Axiu was sitting by the window writing, the sunlight shone on her smooth and crystal clear skin, and even the fluffy hairs on her face could be seen, she looked like a girl.

Huo Zhenye looked up at Axiu, so "alive", it turned out to be paper.

Bai Zhun coughed and cleared his throat: "Isn't Axiu beautiful?"

"Very beautiful." It was because of being too real that Huo Zhenye never guessed whether she was a real person or not. He regarded Axiu as his little sister, who would think that his sister was a paper doll?

The pride on Bai Zhun's face gradually increased: "That little doctor of yours does have some discernment."

Axiu is a paper doll, and Huo Zhenye still has a lot of mysteries in his heart. He still remembers the paper doll child, even though Bai Li manipulated it to skin people, it also wants to become a human.

What if Ah Xiu wants to become a human too?What will happen then.

Huo Zhenye remembered what Bai Li said to Song Fusheng, if he didn't want it, he would burn it.

Bai Zhun glanced at him and knew what was going on in his mind. He closed his eyes and said in a loose voice, "I'll know what happens when the time comes."

This is definitely not to comfort him, it is the master teaching the disciples the truth.

Huo Zhenye raised his eyes first, and saw that Bai Zhun was trying to coax others, but he put on a serious look, and smiled with lowered eyebrows: "What Master said is true, Master is right."

Bai Zhun was even more proud.

Huo Zhenye was sharpening the bamboo strips, and couldn't help but think of the snow lion raised by the old lady in the old house, with its fluffy tail and a high-spirited look. Very affectionate.

Bai Zhun reminded him of that big cat.

He didn't stop holding his hands, Bai Zhun heard the sound of grinding the bamboo, and his breathing gradually became quieter.

The room was full of paper, even Axiu was a paper figure, Huo Zhenye saw his sleeping face, his heart softened, and his eyes lightened.

Axiu finished writing two big characters and held them up to the sun to look at them. She felt that she had written very well. When she was happy, she immediately wanted to ask the master to praise her.

Looking up, I saw Huo Zhenye looking at Bai Zhun with this kind of gaze, Axiu tilted her head, what did she think of.

Xu Yanwen also looked at her in the same way.

What does it mean?He wants to soak the master in the water too?

There were two soft knocks at the door, and Axiu threw away the big characters to open the door, and a chubby man squeezed in, holding two boxes of Yunpian cakes in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Miss Axiu, is Master Qi here? Please."

The fat man bowed to Axiu when he entered the door, and he did the old salute with Axiu. After he finished, he took out a gold-plated post from his sleeve pocket: "Miss Axiu, please pass the post to Master Qi."

Axiu was illiterate, Huo Zhenye saw that Bai Zhun was still dozing off, put down the bamboo knife and walked to the door: "What's the matter?"

When the fat man saw Huo Zhenye, he squinted his eyes, his thick lips trembled and smiled: "Well, this is Mr. Huo! My surname is Hong, Hong Sihai."

Huo Zhenye was still holding a bamboo knife in his hand, and his trousers were covered with chopped bamboo strands and osmanthus flowers blown by the wind. He patted it casually, raised his eyebrows and said, "You know me?"

"You're just joking, who in Shanghai doesn't know you!"

Even if you don't know Huo Qishao, you have to know Huo Zi. Fatty Hong laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. He never thought that he would meet Huo Qishao at Qimen on this trip.

He couldn't help but swallowed, if he could get on the Huo family's ladder, he would be on the way!

"You're looking for Bai..." Huo Zhenye cleared his throat, "Why are you looking for my master?"

When Fatty Hong heard Huo Zhenye calling Master Bai Zhun, his round lips were opened like a cherry, Qi Ye is really a character, this silent one made Huo Qishao his apprentice!

Originally, he was [-]% respectful to Bai Zhun, and [-]% respectful to Huo Zhenye. The two respects added up, and he bent down: "Mr. Huo, I'm afraid he doesn't know that this third-class Master Han has also gone for a while." It's time, the position of the master of the three sects is vacant, and a new sect has to be chosen

host. "

Huo Zhenye stretched out his hand to open the invitation card, frowning as he swiped up and down, it was a martial arts invitation card, and Bai Zhun, the head of the Seven Sects, was invited to be a witness.

"Dou Cai?"

"Yes, the one who wins the lottery is the master of the three sects."

"Isn't there only Han Zhu in the three doors?"

Fatty Hong smiled: "Yes, she is the daughter of Sanye Han, but there is no female head of the Eight Sects."

What happened to Liu Daliu Er was reported in the newspapers, and everyone in the city knew that even though Sanye Han's brothers were old, there were still some heirs, and they came to the door to fight for the position of head of the sect.

"Which school does Mr. Hong belong to?"

When Fatty Hong heard Mr. Hong's sound, his bones became lighter by two ounces, his belly shrunk by two inches, and his face was full of smiles: "I'm from the same family, and I'm from the same family of gold. I can tell my fortune by fortune-telling. If something happens, Mr. Huo can't If you make a decision, you can also ask me, Lao Hong, for good or bad luck."

Huo Zhenye swept up and down, seeing that Hong Sihai's whole body was full of oil and water, he really couldn't tell that he was a fortune teller.

Bai Zhun's doze off was awakened by them. Just as he rolled out of the courtyard in his wheelchair, Fatty Hong immediately saluted: "Hong Sihai, Lord Qi."

Bai Zhun took the post from Huo Zhenye, glanced at it: "Doucai?" After reading it, he threw the post away, "How many people support Han Zhu in these schools?"

When Bai Zhun asked, Fatty Hong showed embarrassment, Bai Zhun glanced at him, and snorted, "Nobody?"

Fatty Hong lowered his head and clutched his fedora, hesitating for a long time: "Qiye, Sanye Han has a good friendship with the people in the door. When he was doing business, the big guys also went, but..."

But Han Zhu is a girl, how can a woman be the head of the sect?

Sanye Han passed the three sects on to his disciples, but not his daughter, because he knew that the members of the eight sects would not let Han Zhu be the head of the sect, so he only asked Bai Zhun to take care of his daughter before he left.

Because in Bai Zhun's eyes, there is no difference between human beings and ghosts, and there is even no difference between men and women.

Bai Zhun's face was sullen.

Fatty Hong immediately put on a embarrassed look: "If it wasn't my master's turn to take charge this year, we wouldn't be able to blame this matter."

The masters of the eight sects take turns, and this year it is the turn of one sect, so old man Hong has to take care of this matter.

Bai Zhun was still unhappy, his eyebrows frowned.

Fatty Hong was sensible, and stepped back: "Qi Ye thinks I'm too human, and I don't want to disturb Qi Ye's cleanliness, whether I'm going here or not, if you give me some advice, I can go back and explain to Master. "

"roll."

"Come on." It meant to go, except for Bai Qiye, there was no one who supported Han Zhu, no matter how many people he hated, he would definitely go.

Fatty Hong put on his hat and went out. He walked to the door and talked to himself, nodded sideways, and pressed the brim of his hat: "Please don't give it away, please don't give it away."

Huo Zhenye thought it was funny, he pointed at Fatty Hong's back and said, "Who is he saying hello to?"

No one sent him?

Bai Zhun leaned on the armrest, rolled his eyelids: "He's afraid that something from me will follow him out."

Li Duo is not a ghost.

"How can there be anything here? Isn't it just a few jars in the attic." Can the jars still follow?Huo Zhenye didn't take it seriously.

When Bai Zhun heard this, his eyebrows twitched.

Huo Zhenye saw it, and he asked, "Are you going to wait for me to fall asleep and roll the jar upstairs to scare me?"

Huo Zhenye was so courageous and thick-skinned that he couldn't be scared easily.

Bai Zhun turned around, rolled the wheelchair into the courtyard, and used the thin bamboo stick in his hand to "suoso" the pile of bamboo strands that Huo Zhenye had chopped.

Huo Zhenye walked over with staggering steps: "If you scare me, I will dare to sleep with you in my arms."

Bai Zhun turned around and poked Huo Zhenye with a long bamboo stick: "Go and split the bamboo thread. If you can't tie the money tree today, you won't be allowed to eat dinner."

"I don't eat, don't you feel bad?"

Axiu stared at them with bright eyes, she seemed to understand and didn't seem to understand.

Bai Zhun knew that Axiu was watching, his earlobe was reddish, and just about to turn his face, Huo Zhenye took another step back and touched him with the back of his hand: "Hey, should I make a long gown?"

Huo Zhenye only had a suit but no long gown, since he was invited to the party of Bamen, he had to make a long gown.

Bai Zhun only wore long gowns, and the materials he used were very particular about. The laundry shop came to pick up the clothes every few days, washed them and ironed them, and then sent them back.

In the beginning, there were only Bai Zhun's silk clothes, and later Huo Zhenye's suits were added, and the clothes of the two were washed together.

Huo Zhenye decided to make a long gown, the same as Bai Zhun's, so as not to look lonely and only Bai Zhun was alone.

There is a tailor's shop facing the street in Yuqingli. There is a glass mirror inside the shop, and people in the alley often take photos there when they go out.

Before Huo Zhenye entered the door, Tailor Chen came out to meet him with a measuring tape: "Mr. Huo is here to get Mr. Bai's clothes? I still want to send them to your door."

Huo Zhenye didn't know that Bai Zhun also made new clothes, so he nodded: "Yes, I also make two long gowns myself."

Tailor Chen smiled, "Okay, okay, I'll measure Mr. Huo." He took off the suit for Huo Zhenye and taught it to the apprentice, "Iron it for Mr. Huo."

He kept winking at the little apprentice, and he knew at a glance that the suit on Huo Zhenye was made by a foreign tailor, and the board was better than his. Now that more and more people are making suits, he happened to learn from them secretly.

Huo Zhenye took a look around and saw that there were several ready-made clothes hanging in the room. They were indeed western-style gowns of various styles, and the workmanship was extremely exquisite.

Thinking about it, Bai Zhun is very picky, he has been making clothes at Tailor Chen's all year round, so how could his workmanship be bad.

Tailor Chen moved nimbly, while he was measuring Huo Zhenye's body, he was gossiping: "I make Mr. Bai's clothes very carefully. He can feel a little bit of thread as soon as he gets on his body. I put the most care into making Mr. Bai's clothes." .”

"What kind of clothes did he make?" Huo Zhenye was a little curious.

"Here, the nightgown. This material is specified by Mr. Bai. It is not easy to buy foreign products. I ordered it for a long time before it arrived." Tailor Chen took out the clothes, and it was a blue velvet nightgown.

The corners of Huo Zhenye's mouth curled up so hard that it was exactly the same as his, so it turned out that he also wanted to make the same clothes as him.

"Mr. Huo is in a hurry to wear it? If you are in a hurry to wear it, I will expedite it for you. They are all neighbors."

"Can you give it to me in three days?"

"Okay, Mr. Huo, don't worry, I will definitely make it neat for you."

Huo Zhenye went back with his nightgown, opened the door and said to Bai Zhun, "Tailor Chen asked me to bring you the clothes, saying that they are the fabrics that have been waiting for several months."

Bai Zhun remembered, his face tensed up: "Leave it alone."

Huo Zhenye had already shaken off his nightgown and handed it to him: "What else do you like about me? I'll give it to you together."

"I like your size!"

The author has something to say: Bai Qiye is very boring and boring
