Daiyu of the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Lin Dai has turned to ask Yunzhou to fetch a bottle, explaining: "Look at me! I just heard that Sister Fu is here after sending Lier back. Here, I realized that I didn’t even bring a gift.”

Fu Luo hurriedly said: "Sister Lin, what did you say! Our sisters are so close, and we have to give gifts every time we meet, isn't it so cumbersome? Don't mention this again!"

Lin Dai smiled and said: "God forbids me not to mention it. I was worrying about my empty hands, and I saw a large piece of flowers growing beside the bridge. They are fragrant, white and lovely. I thought, this is really called borrowing flowers to present Buddha. Take it in your arms Come to see the sisters, flowers for the beauties, and my hands for the lingering fragrance, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?"

Fu Luo praised: "What a flower to give to the beauty, and the fragrance left in the hands. Forgive my ignorance, which poem is this?"

Lin Daidao: "Sister Fu, don't make fun of me. I flattered you casually. How can it be called a poem? You didn't even bet on the meter. It's just a joke."

Fu Luo was startled: what a talent for exporting poetry!If it is not in line with the rhythm, Tantai's "cutting long and short sentences with pen and paper" is not out of the rhythm, and it is still regarded as a masterpiece!Even a person like Fu Luo, who doesn't read books, knows that poets don't harm their meaning with rhythm, and poetry is the most important thing.

It's rare for Lin Dai to be an immortal, with a beautiful heart, and a deep understanding of humility!Fu Luo felt ashamed when she recalled her previous comments: Isn't such a woman worthy of being called a lady?Sisters Yun Shi and Yun Zhou seem to be unable to lead alone.

Xiaoxiao has brought a blue and white plum vase.Yunzhou looked at it, and said to Lin Dai: "Baiyuan is plain and pure. But I see that the ginger flower my sister brought is rich in quality and fragrant. It's out of its spirit. What does my sister think?"

Lin Dai and Yun Hui clapped their hands together and praised: "Sure enough, my sister has a unique vision!" Lin Dai further asked: "I have heard that my sister's flower arrangement is a masterpiece, let's open our eyes!"

Yun Zhou glanced at her with a smile: "But it's nonsense! I haven't planted flowers a few times a year, and even when I do, I just show my shame in front of my wife and the others. I don't believe you have heard it for a long time."

Lin Dai said: "I've heard that my sister has the best garden, and I take care of it myself. I've also seen my sister's calligraphy and paintings. They are really elegant and relaxed. They are good at gardening and good in brushwork. They are easy to arrange flowers. How could it be so bad? Sister Fu, Sister Hui, am I right? I would take a gamble."

Yun Zhou laughed in an uproar and said, "Yun Ke hasn't slowed down yet, but you're gambling again! Forget it. In order for Luo'er and Hui'er to win the lottery, I must do a poor job."

Lin Dai smiled and said: "If my sister is really willing to tease me like this, my sisters will smile, even if they lose, they will be willing."

Just kidding.Yun Zhou went to pick a new bottle by himself.Yun Hui, Fu Luo, and Lin Dai went to open their eyes together.

Yunzhou is in gardening.Sure enough, there is a small wooden house, which is dedicated to storing related utensils.For the sake of natural taste, the walls are made of Chinese fir.No paint is applied, the natural texture of the wood can be seen, as for the roof.In order to be strong, it had to be built with tiles.However, on top of the blue tiles, there is a thick layer of straw, which shines brilliantly in the sun, as if a layer of gold has been laid.

There are three rooms in the wooden house, one is for flower hoes, flower brooms, flower clippers, watering cans and other tools for gardening flowers and plants, the other is for various pots and bottles, and the last room is for storing fertilizers, flower mud, etc. .

Yunzhou led the crowd into the room of pots and bottles, but saw a room about ten steps wide, with three large shelves on the wall, and three rows of shelves in the room, neatly arranged.There are wide and narrow intervals between the shelves, and the pots and vases have their own positions. They are covered with cloth bags to cover the ashes, and there are sticks tied on the outside. Not only are there names, but also the appearance of the pots and vases. Some of them were written by Yunzhou himself.

These pots, bottles, and bowls are just the most commonly used batches.When these are not enough, ask Xie Mansion's large warehouse to get them.The big warehouse is managed by the ladies in charge, and Mingzhu and Biyu are in charge of it on behalf of the old lady. It is still uncertain who will be in charge in the future.

Even though the quantity stored in Yunzhou's room is relatively small, the quality is very fine. Sometimes the mansion needs special decorations, and the big storeroom has to ask Yunzhou to borrow them.

On the way Yunzhou led the people to the small wooden house, he had already decided on the flowers and plants to be added, and now he had a plan in mind, and ordered a carmine red flower cup from Junyao.I went to the next room and held the flower scissors in person. My own mother-in-law accompanied me with a bamboo-carved gourd and cirrus cloud handle, so as to hold the flowers and leaves cut by the cloud boat.

Lin Dai looked at the flower scissors in Yunzhou's hands, but it was interesting. The scissors were black, looked like stones, and shone like glass, completely different from ordinary knives and scissors.

Yunhui jumped up and down and went to the front.Fu Luo took a step behind, looked back at Lin Dai, and wanted to chat with Lin Dai, but was overwhelmed by Lin Dai's beautiful color, and didn't dare to initiate a conversation.

Beautiful to a certain extent, it is inevitable not to fit in.Like the snow lotus on the top of the mountain, ordinary people dare not go up and climb it.

Lin Dai should take the initiative to make a gesture.

She asked Fu Luo softly: "The scissors of the fourth sister are so special, what do you know?"

In fact, there are also exquisite questions.If you ask the wrong question, you will be laughed at by the other party, but there are some things that you might as well ask.Especially when that thing is someone else's proud creation, you ask, and they are just showing off.

The so-called maturity and understanding of human feelings is to be able to determine the difference between different questions.Lin Dai is familiar with the law and practice, and he is used to the three teachings and nine streams, so he naturally understands the subtle differences among them.

Sure enough, Fu Luo was also happy to answer for her: "It's a blade sharpened by a black stone."

It turns out that in gardening, if cutting branches and leaves, if gold and iron are used to make knives, the so-called gold overcomes wood, the plants will easily be hurt.Therefore, bamboo scissors are generally used.Use a kind of extremely hard old bamboo as the scissors, just cut it, it will not hurt the vitality, and the remaining plant stumps can heal relatively easily and flourish again soon.

It's a pity that no matter how hard the bamboo is, it is limited after all, so we can only cut some soft branches and leaves. To deal with thicker plants, we have to use iron knives.

Yunzhou's scissors have black stones as their blades.The so-called black stones are also freshly purchased by military merchants from a certain country in the small western countries. It is said that there are mountains there that can breathe fire.The temperature of the crater was so high that it melted the stone.The roasted stone liquid condenses again, and some will become black and crystal clear, which is black stone.This kind of stone has a glass-like luster and is harder than copper and iron. Unfortunately, it is too brittle to be polished into large utensils, so it has to be ground thin and embedded in other tools as a sharp edge.

The utensils of the black stone are expensive, but the sales channels are narrow-ordinary people will not buy it, and think it is unnecessary!Often craftsmen with extremely high craftsmanship need it and can afford its price.In addition, only Yunzhou, who has high requirements for the quality of equipment and is rich, can afford it.

How many craftsmen with high skills and money are there in the world, and there are even fewer good customers like Yunzhou.Therefore, utensils made of black stones are extremely rare in the market.Jincheng is also available in Kesige, and the quantity is very small, and it is not displayed outside. It is only shown when it meets suitable customers.

The scissors in Yunzhou's hand are so precious.

She has already cut the branches and leaves she wants, only the mandarin duck jasmine.This kind of flowers bloomed small, and she didn't pick the best blooming ones, so she just cut dozens of them carelessly, and put them in the old woman's bamboo tube, which looked quite messy.

Yun Hui chose a few beautiful flowers, asked Yun Zhou's consent, cut them off, first inserted them for herself, and then happily asked Fu Luo and Lin Dai to insert them together.

Lin Dai was still in filial piety, so he refused to insert it, and only helped Fu Luo choose two flowers to insert.That pair of green peaches with twin pedicles, set off by Fu Luo's heart-returning bun and golden steps, is gorgeous and moving.

Yun Zhou took the dozens of mandarin duck jasmines with many leaves and few flowers back outside the wooden house.Xiaoxiao has wiped the rouge goblet with a soft cloth, put it on the wooden table outside the house, filled it with clean water, and put the nutritional pills in it.The balls, each one as small as a fly's head, rub all the nutrients needed by the flowers inside, and put them in water when arranging flowers, so that the flowering period can last for a long time, and the incisions are not easy to rot.

The wooden table and chairs were cut from a whole old fir tree, and the annual rings on the table looked like they were worn evenly.In the middle is the rouge goblet, on one side is the snow-white ginger flower brought by Lin Dai, and on the other side is the mandarin duck jasmine newly cut by Yunzhou.

Yun Zhou raised his hand and planted a few ginger flowers first.

The ginger flower is fresh and greasy, and the porcelain red pressed with rouge presents an intoxicating beauty.

Xiao Xiao was amazed: "In the past, I only heard that white is plain and red is colorful. Plain should go with plain, and colorful should go with colorful. How did you know that this is still possible? What a stroke of genius!"

Yunhui thought she was smart and said, "The fragrance of jasmine and ginger flower must be better together!"

Fu Luo leaned over to Yunhui's ear to whisper.Yun Zhou looked at Lin Dai and asked, "Sister Lin is elegant, do you know what to do next?"

Lin Dai smiled and shook his head: "I'm too stupid, I just wait to see my fourth sister deal with it wisely."

Yun Zhou smiled half-smile and said, "Sister Lin is too modest!" He removed all the jasmine flowers with his hands.

Yun Hui said "Ahhh", thinking that Yun Zhou was angry, looked at Lin Dai, then at Fu Luo, not knowing what to do, then peeked at Yun Zhou again, but there was no anger on Yun Zhou's face again.

Fuluo clapped her hands and said, "I know!"

Yun Zhou wondered, "What do you know?"

Fu Luo said: "Fourth sister must have learned some kind of magic. If you stroke the flowers down, you can make them bloom more beautifully!"

Yun Zhou laughed: "This girl is a demon! Am I a juggler in a circus?"

Fu Luo said stupidly: "It's not tricks, it's immortality! Since she is the fourth sister, she must be able to perform immortality, and it's not very strange."

Yun Zhou couldn't stop laughing, and couldn't hold the scissors anymore, so he pushed them in front of them, and said with a gesture of anger: "I can't cut it or insert it because of your troubles! Find someone else to play fairy tricks! "L
