All Hail Cousin Brother

I don't know what kind of wood was used, but the wooden comb is light yellow and oily.

The back of the wooden comb is thick and thin, and the tooth comb is fine and even in thickness. The apricot pattern is carved on the back, and the light yellow pattern looks simple and elegant, but it is very delicate.

Yu Youyao smiled with joy: "Cousin, this wooden comb is the Dragon Boat Festival gift you originally intended to give me, it's so beautiful, it also has my favorite apricot pattern carved on it, what kind of wood is it made of? "

The wood is delicate and moist, a bit more than red sandalwood and yellow pear.

Zhou Linghuai smiled and said, "It's boxwood."

"It's actually a boxwood?!" Yu Youyao looked surprised, took the boxwood comb in his hand and turned it over and over: "It's hard to grow boxwood in a thousand years, and "Xianqingouji" records that "boxwood is one inch per year, and it doesn't overflow even a tiny bit. It is the destiny of heaven to shrink by one inch in a leap year.” The destiny of boxwood is precious, and its destiny is limited by heaven, and its growth is slow, which is rare!”

Boxwood has the name of "thousand-year dwarf", and there is no big material. Even so, it must grow for at least a hundred years before it can barely produce.

The best boxwood can be as little as a few hundred years, or even a thousand years.

The price is more expensive than red sandalwood, comparable to ebony.

The boxwood comb sent by my cousin is almost as good as gold and jade.

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "Boxwood grows for three years, but not in leap years. I planted boxwood on a hilltop of a village in the suburbs of Beijing, and raised a tree that was several hundred years old. I searched for a dark night and found nothing. Xing, take a branch of this wood, cut it and it will not crack, try it with water, it will not burn if it sinks, it is a very precious product, so I made this wooden comb."

It is not easy to make boxwood combs. More than 30 processes are required from cutting material to finished product.

Very particular about carving, drawing, ironing, engraving, grinding and so on.

This one also started early in the morning.

Yu Youyao is like a treasure. The aroma of boxwood is very light and faint, and it seems to be absent, but it is elegant: "Why did my cousin suddenly think that he wants to give me a boxwood comb?"

Zhou Linghuai was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "Compendium of Materia Medica records: "The world is heavy with boxwood, because it has no fire." In addition to blood, there is an old saying that a thousand-year-old short comb, one hundred years of life, does not see white, boxwood removes wind and dehumidifies, invigorates qi and activates blood, clears heat and detoxifies, and combs a hundred times a day can also clear the meridians, open the orifices, calm the mind, and prolong life. . "

There is such a boxwood comb in my mother's dressing box, which my father made by himself.

Every morning and evening, my mother combed her hair with a boxwood comb to her scalp a hundred times.

When he was a child, he would often see his mother sitting in front of the glazed mirror with disheveled hair. His father, who had always been rough and leafy, was rarely gentle, holding a boxwood comb to help his mother comb her hair.

The wooden comb is gently scraped down against the scalp until the end of the hair.

Over and over again, never tire of it.

Like a wooden comb, you can comb until the white hair.

"From now on, I will comb my hair with the boxwood comb that my cousin gave me, one hundred times at a time." Yu Youyao smiled and curled her lips, lifted a strand of hair on her chest, and gently combed with the boxwood comb.

The wooden comb is very smooth, and the tooth comb combs the hair very smoothly.

Zhou Linghuai was startled by the way the little girl combed her hair.

He sent the little girl to make a boxwood comb by herself, because the boxwood comb is good for her health, and the little girl is also very busy with her daily schoolwork and housekeeping.

Comb your hair with a boxwood comb in the morning and evening, which can also relieve fatigue, activate blood and nourish the mind.

But he didn't think about it.

But at this moment, seeing the little girl holding the boxwood comb he carved by himself, combing his hair one by one, the hand holding the armrest trembled uncontrollably, wanting to take the boxwood comb in his own hands. Just as the father helped the mother comb her hair, she also helped the little girl to comb her hair.

Zhou Linghuai lowered his eyes, and the hand holding the armrest gradually tightened, and then slowly loosened. After doing this several times, he took down his hand and rubbed the Mushroom incense beads between his wrists with his right hand: "Okay!"

When he was done, he lowered his eyes.

The wood rhinoceros incense beads on the wrist, with a ray of warmth in the yellow, do not see a trace of roughness. They are wrapped around the wrist in circles and circles, as if the heart is bound, but this introverted fragrance is refreshing. The spleen makes people happy in the heart, and the heart is happy and self-generated, and it also feels bound, and it is also sweet.

Zhou Linghuai raised her eyes. On one wrist, the little girl was wearing the blood and beeswax Buddha beads given by Mrs. Yu. The precious light was bright and magnificent, and on the other wrist, she also wore the same Muxixiang bead bracelet as his. .

He couldn't help laughing, and then heard the cheerful voice of the little girl: "I really like the gift my cousin gave me today, I was so surprised. This is the happiest Dragon Boat Festival I have ever had, thank you cousin."

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "Thank you cousin, too." He tilted his head to look at the "Acacia cord" on his arm, and lightly rubbed the sachet on his waist with his fingertips: "I had the most interesting Dragon Boat Festival."

The best Dragon Boat Festival is about two people who have carefully prepared the best thoughts for each other.

At this time, Chun Xiao came over: "Miss breakfast is ready."

Yu Youyao smiled quickly: "Cousin, let's go have breakfast together."

With his cousin accompanied, Yu Youyao felt that even the breakfast had become more delicious, so he used another bowl of Biseng porridge.

Zhou Linghuai couldn't help but chuckle: "Eating very little?"

Yu Youyao was embarrassed for a while, but she was always spoiled in front of her cousin, smacking her lips: "I got up and busy with my work today, I was so hungry that I ate so much, I usually eat so much. I won't eat so much, at most, two small bowls of porridge." Having said that, she puffed out her cheeks and stared at her cousin fiercely: "Does my cousin dislike me for eating too much?"

Zhou Linghuai dared to say a "yes", and shook his head quickly: "No, I think it's a blessing for my cousin to be able to eat. She is in good health, so very good."

It suddenly occurred to him that on the day he first entered the Yu Mansion, the little girl was a round little person, showing baby fat, but her heart was like glass, her eyes were clear and flawless.

He thought at that time, he never thought that Yu Mansion would hide such a small Jiaojiao.

I also think that the little girl is round and cute.

It seems to be better to eat more? !

Yu Youyao tilted her head to look at her cousin: "I don't care, even if I eat a lot, I can't go back on what my cousin promised me before!"

Having said that, in the future, when she is in despair, she must be raised, and she cannot go back.

Zhou Linghuai suddenly laughed: "I remember."

Yu Youyao finally felt happy, and put another bowl of Biseng porridge in front of his cousin: "Then my cousin needs to eat more, it's a blessing to be able to eat, and to be in good health, so good."

In fact, Zhou Linghuai had already used one more bowl than usual. He was already full now, but when he saw the little girl smilingly looking at him, he felt that he could have another bowl.
