Shen Chenai's Different Life in Ancient Times

The ninth master of the Yue family in Fengcheng is getting married, and the news has now spread all over the streets and alleys along with the invitations sent out by the Yue family.

As Xu Jian's friend, Shen Chenai was of course the first person to get the news. After knowing that her good friend was about to get married, Shen Chenai started to search for things in the house.

Shen Chenai wanted to give her friend a special wedding gift.It stands to reason that in his capacity, it would be most appropriate to send calligraphy and paintings, but Shen Chenai felt that it would be too heartless if he only sent calligraphy and paintings.

After thinking about it for a long time in the house, Shen Chenai finally had an idea in his heart. When he was having dinner that night, he made an application to Luo Ding, saying that besides the fixed allowance this month, he needed to pay an extra sum. funds to use.

Hearing this, Luo Ding straightened the chopsticks that were stretched out to pick up vegetables. He has been in charge of the family's property for such a long time, and this is the first time that Shen Chenai has made an extra request to him in terms of money.

But after thinking about it, he can understand why. A few days ago, their family received an invitation from Xu Jian. Yue Chong and Xu Jian's wedding banquet will be at the beginning of next month. Shen Chenai will ask for money at this time, and it should be to give Buy a special wedding gift for your best friend.

Thinking of this, Luo Ding didn't ask any more questions, but untied the large bunch of keys tied to him, handed them to Shen Chenai and said, "How much do you want? Open the box to get it yourself. Don't forget to lock the box when you turn around." .”

At night, Shen Chenai opened the box and stared blankly at the thick stack of banknotes inside. Although he already had an idea in his heart, he had no idea how much it would take to turn the idea into reality. No.

At this time, Luo Ding happened to have already laid the quilt on the heated kang, turned his head and looked at Shen Chenai who was staring at the box in a daze, couldn't help but sighed and said to him: "What do you want to buy, tell me first I can know the approximate price of almost everything on the market, and I think it should be about the same if I add a few percent of the silver to the comparison.”

Shen Chenai raised her head when she heard the words, turned around and said to Luo Ding: "I have been painting a dragon and a phoenix in harmony since the day they got engaged. Now I have finished that painting, but I always feel like sending it over like this." I felt that something was missing, so I wanted to find a good master, carve the dragon and phoenix on my painting on the jade, and make it into a jade pendant to send to them. I hope their future life will always be auspicious. It’s also part of my heart.”

Luo Ding felt a little headache after hearing the words. Although Liangzhou is rich in beautiful jade, there are no jade deposits in Fengcheng.So there are not too many masters who can carve jade here, and it is even more difficult to pick out a few with good craftsmanship.

After thinking about it for a while, Luo Ding had no choice but to reply to Shen Chenai: "There are really not many jade carvings here in Fengcheng, or ask someone to go to Wuwei to ask you. In the state capital, there are always some skilled craftsmen who will choose to stay there."

Shen Chenai nodded repeatedly when she heard the words, with an expression that I would be relieved if I entrusted the matter to you.

Looking at Shen Chenai's expression on the heated kang, Luo Ding couldn't laugh or cry. After dragging him onto the heated kang, he whispered in his ear, "What would you do without me?"

The teasing meaning in those words made Shen Chenai blush.

Luo Ding's ability to act has always been worthy of recognition, but after a few days, a good news came back from Wuwei. The people there had found a master sculptor with excellent skills for them. After seeing Shen Chenai's paintings, he is also very interested, saying that he has already taken up this matter, and will definitely give Xu Jian a pair of adornments that satisfy Shen Chenai before her wedding.

Shen Chenai was overjoyed upon hearing the words, quickly took out the bank note, bought a piece of high-quality white jade and sent it to the master.And from the day the master received the jade, he closed the door to thank the guests, facing Shen Chenxi's picture of dragon and phoenix in harmony at home, and carved the jade in his hand bit by bit.

More than ten days later, the pair of jade pendants that had been divided into two were brought over from Wuwei. After Shen Chenai took over the burden, she untied it and took the pair of jade pendants from inside. Take it out.

That master is worthy of being respected as a teacher, and the kung fu in his hands is really outstanding.Not only did he use a carving knife to perfectly carve the shapes of the dragon and the phoenix on the jade pendant, but he also used techniques to vividly portray the expressions of the pair of dragon and phoenix.

What surprised Shen Chenai the most was that the master separated the jade along the lines according to the color of the jade itself. Each piece of jade pendant looks like a comma, but when two pieces of jade pendant are put together, two commas can be combined into one Perfectly round.

If the two jade pendants were one black and one white, then this would be a complete Tai Chi pattern.Although the concept of Tai Chi has not yet appeared here, Shen Chenai has already seen the meaning of the harmony of yin and yang implied in the jade pendant.

This should be because the master knew that this was a wedding gift for someone else, so he had this design.However, in the case of Xu Jian and Yue Chong, I don't know if it would be appropriate to send the jade pendant, which is a combination of yin and yang.

Shen Chenai held the jade pendant for a whole day, and finally he decided to send it over. Anyway, with Yue Jiuye's understanding, he may not be able to see the hints in the jade pendant. As for Xu Jian, he must not be accountable. than these.

So this pair of jade pendants was sent to Xu Jian's house as a congratulatory gift together with the picture of the dragon and the Phoenix showing auspiciousness.

Xu Jian was in a state of desperation in his own home at this time, and it was Yue Chong's bad idea that caused him such a headache.Originally, the Yue Mansion had promised him that if it was a wedding, it would be the same as an engagement banquet, and relatives and friends from both parties would be invited together. Anyway, Xu Jian’s guests were few, while Yue Chong’s guests were mostly from the market. Too much attention to those secular rules.

Because he had already done this during the engagement banquet, Xu Jian did not express any objection to it. He could save a lot of trouble by combining the two banquets together, so why not do that.

But what he didn't expect was that Yue Chong would be so whimsical, he wanted to save all the process of getting married, and let Xu Jian directly live in his home.

How could this be possible? Xu Jian firmly disagreed afterwards, but Yue Chong was also a very patient person, and he had to come to Xu Jian's place every day to grind it out until Xu Jian agreed.

It's a pity that Xu Jian didn't listen to him this time, no matter what he said, Xu Jian didn't agree.Yue Chong continued to grind, and Xu Jian became angry. In the end, as soon as Yue Chong came over, Xu Jian would zoom out to greet him.

Yue Chong, who was chased by Dabai and ran all over the yard, finally had to give up his own ideas, obediently go back home, and wait for the day of marriage to come.

The eighth day of the fifth lunar month is an auspicious day, and everything is possible.On such a very auspicious day, the wedding of Xu Jian and Yue Chong began.

As Xu Jian's friend, Shen Chenai came to Jixianzhai yesterday. Xu Jian's adoptive father moved here from other places and has no relatives in the local area, so he can come forward as a "maiden's family" to send Xu Jian's relatives. Not many, except for Xu Jian's classmates and friends, there are only Xu Jian's tutors who have been invited as elders.

At the wedding in Fengcheng, when the groom comes to pick up the bride, as the wedding side, there is still the habit of blocking the door, but this time it is not the adults like Shen Chenai who are in charge of blocking the door, but some children led by Yuegui them.

This is also a kind of helplessness, because most of Xu Jian's "maternal family" are scholars. If these guys are allowed to block the door, they can only stand at the gate and recite poems to fight against each other, while Yue Chong will come to meet the relatives The guys here are a group of out-and-out bastards, making them match up with a group of students from the county school at the door, isn't it a joke? Seemingly recommending himself to take over this task, and said that he will definitely lead his friends to block the gate tightly.

And the adults would agree to Yue Gui's proposal, which is actually a helpless move. Since the adults can't pick any candidates, it's better to just let this child, anyway, they are just a group of children, and they can go there But even if it's a little noisy, if you want to come to Yue Chong's side, you won't care about it with a group of little brats.

But it turns out that these adults still underestimated the children. These little guys really carried out the blocking perfectly. Not only did they directly lock the gate of Xu Jian's house, but they also set up such as Iron nails, tripping ropes, xiamazhuang and other traps, and many children, under the command of Yuegui, lay on the wall along the street, holding lime powder, plant ash, stones and mud and other murder weapons in their hands.

Thanks to Shen Chenai, who felt that something was wrong, she came out and took a look. Otherwise, if Yue Gui and the others really blocked her like this, whether Yue Chong could still receive Xu Jian safely today was a problem.

Shen Chenai, who was in a cold sweat, hurriedly asked these guys to remove all the messy things, and asked Yue Gui to send the big girl and the second girl back home. All the dogs inside were brought over.

It took Shen Chenai a long time to explain to these little things that the door was not really meant to be blocked, it was just for show, and the door was still to be opened to welcome people in.

Although Yue Gui and the others still didn't quite understand why they blocked the door but couldn't really block it, but they understood Shen Chenai's later explanation, that is, the door would not be opened if they didn't see the red envelope. The little uncle said that they just need to remember this.
