All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao turned around and went to the incense room.

After having dinner yesterday, it took her more than two hours to finish polishing the Muxiong incense beads.

More than 50 fragrant beads made Yu Youyao two kinds of longevity patterns and blessing patterns.

The longevity marks are the size of a longan. She only made ten of them to give to the tassel knot that her grandmother strung on the beads. When the grandmother twisted the beads, her hands were full of incense.

Forty pieces of Fuwen were made, only the size of peanuts.

Yu Youyao took a piece of red rope, and threaded twenty-eight of them on the red rope. Between every four mushini beads, he wore a light yellow to green Lantian jade bead. The jade beads were slightly larger than the incense beads.

Mother Xu smiled and said: "Lantian jade has the functions of regulating yin and yang, qi and blood, dispelling diseases, and benefiting the gods. Fragrant beads are made of flowers and wood, and wood is the main source of vitality. The two complement each other, which is in line with the natural meaning of heaven. The fragrance of pearls is used to nourish jade, and the nature of jade is cultivated. Wear it for a year and a half. , Jade is impregnated with pearl fragrance, beautiful jade produces fragrance, it is rare and elegant, but it complements each other.”

Yu Youyao's eyes widened: "Mammy, you are actually a passage?"

Mother Xu smiled: "I am obsessed with Taoism today, so it is not surprising that I know these things. When you are a few years older, Mr. Ye will teach the Book of Changes. Although the Book of Changes is a Taoist scripture, it is highly sought after by Confucians. He is a co-study of Confucianism and Taoism. Master Hui Neng of Baoning Temple was deeply influenced by the Book of Changes in his early years. People are one, and the Book of Changes is highly respected, so in addition to the Four Books, the Book of Changes is also a compulsory examination for the imperial examination.”

Yu Youyao put on the last Lantian jade bead, weaved a slip knot at both ends of the rope, and tied it together, and a string of mussel incense beads was ready.

Twenty-eight wood rhinoceros beads, eight Lantian jade beads, thirty-six beads, and one Lantian jade bead and one wood rhinoceros bead on each of the two su liu at the other knot.

In total, twenty-nine fragrant beads and nine Lantian jade beads were used.

Eight is the number of poles of yin, and nine is the number of poles of yang. Whether it is eight or nine, it is excellent.

"This is for Young Master Biao!" Mother Xu smiled when she saw it.

This girl thought about her cousin, no matter what good things she did, her cousin was indispensable. The relationship between cousins ​​was so good that there was no second one in the world.

Yu Youyao stuck out her tongue: "Yesterday, my cousin gave me a copy of "Zizhitongjian"."

The "Zizhitongjian" Xu Mama also read it. It is more lively and interesting than the printing plates on the market today. Yu Youyao likes it very much, and read it for an hour in a row yesterday afternoon.

Young Master Zhou Biao also tried his best for this cousin, teaching homework every day, instructing the practice of calligraphy, not talking about piano skills, and even annotating the "Four Books and Five Classics" that my cousin needs to learn every day, so as to avoid her struggling to learn things. After that, I gave it to my cousin.

Yu Youyao's learning progress is so fast, his cousin is the first to take the credit.

Yu Youyao smiled and curled her lips: "This is called throwing papaya for me, and repaying it with Qiongju. Bandit retribution is also a good thing."

You give me papaya, and I will take Qiongju in return.

Not to thank you.

Cherish friendship and always consider it good.

Madam Xu felt a little strange in her heart, and looked at Yu Youyao again. She had a smile on her face, her eyes were as clear as water, and she felt that she was thinking too much.

The poem "Papaya" is also about the true feelings and meanings of ritual exchanges between people. Different people sing it and have different interpretations.

Yu Youyao took another twelve wood rhinoceros beads, four Lantian jade beads, and one each on the tassel knot, and made a string of smaller fragrant beads of the same style.

She put the small string of fragrant beads on her wrist, and it felt a little bigger, but she wouldn't let it go. The color and appearance of the fragrant beads just made were not as delicate and delicate, and they were not as stunning as she imagined.

But the incense beads fit into the wrist, are heavy, light in weight, do not sink into the hand, do not press the wrist, and do not slap people. It is lighter than wearing jewelry, separated by a layer of thin sleeves, and has a subtle fragrance. Very elegant.

"It's so beautiful." Yu Youyao smiled and raised her eyebrows, picked up another slightly larger string of incense beads, and wrapped it around her right wrist.

I don't know if my cousin will wear it too big?

Yu Youyao thought about it, the sachet he said before was embroidered for his cousin for a few days, and only half of it was embroidered, and it would take several days to embroider it.

Why don't you give the Muxiong incense beads to your cousin first? !

Thinking of this, Yu Youyao couldn't sit still, and hurriedly called Dongmei, found a small box the size of a palm, carefully put the fragrant beads away, turned her head and said, "I'll go to Qingyuanyuan to find my cousin."

Zhou Linghuai was painting in the study, still the same "Bodhisattva Man" from yesterday.

The snow-white rice paper is covered with the entire book table. On the large format, the old Bodhi tree has horned branches, with intertwined roots. The veins, light and shadow on each Bodhi leaf are fully visible, but they are wonderful.

At first glance, it is dense, dense and solemn.

Under the Bodhi tree!

The little girl tilted up a section of Erxiuyu's neck, gently lifted the goose-egg's delicate jaw, Qiong's nose and jade column, and her jade face was half exposed, but it was the innocence of the bright moon and the brilliance of the sun, which moved people's hearts.

Holding the wish-making silk, she lightly weighed her toes, her slender figure was slightly forward, and the belt around her waist fluttered. go.

It's clear and graceful, vivid and vivid.

Beside the Bodhi tree are piles of strange stones, and there are thousands of strange obstacles.

The whole picture is fresh, elegant and bright. It is a small person under the tree. There is already a "man is bigger than the tree, and the man is heavier than the mountain." " as a foil.

Zhou Linghuai is good at landscape, but he has never painted such a large volume.

From yesterday to today, from late at night to dawn, he kept writing, writing like rain, but the wind was rushing to thunder, and he kept his pen first, and painted as much as he wanted, so he was fully absorbed.

It took a day and night, and it has been initially completed.

After that, the outline, light and darkness, texture, weather, color, etc. on the picture all need to be carefully modified and trimmed. The techniques used are a larger and more detailed project, and they cannot be completed in a while, but faster. God, there are also some in the slower March and May, and in the third or fifth year.

Zhou Linghuai then stopped writing, and suddenly felt dry mouth and tongue, and his arms were sore and numb not like his own.

Chang An heard the movement, and hurriedly called the inner room to bring tea over.

Zhou Linghuai took the tea cup with one hand. The tea was warm enough to be eaten. After a few sips, he felt unhappy, so he took the teapot and poured it directly into his mouth.
