Bai Zirui waved his hand and said: "Uncle, it's just a few candies. It's not an expensive gift. It's just right for the little girl to satisfy her craving."

The little girl looked longingly at the White Rabbit toffee in Bai Zirui's hand, smacked her lips and swallowed. The uncle sighed helplessly when he saw his daughter's greedy look.

You must know that in this era, the production of White Rabbit toffee was relatively small. It was difficult to buy and very expensive. It was a luxury product. Materials were scarce and everyone still had enough to eat. Of course, candy was very expensive. Ordinary candies were not available, let alone White Rabbit.

Rabbit candy.

The uncle said softly: "Go on! Brother gave it to you, don't forget it, thank you brother!"

Seeing that her father agreed, the little girl happily stepped forward to take the White Rabbit toffee from Bai Zirui's hand, and said crisply: "Thank you! Brother!"

Bai Zirui smiled and said, "You're welcome, little girl! Try it quickly! This candy is delicious."

The little girl obediently opened a candy wrapper and took the candy into her mouth. She felt a sweetness reaching the bottom of her heart, which immediately made her smile. The little girl held a candy in her mouth and looked at the white rabbit milk in her hand.

Tang, with a look of reluctance in his eyes.

She finally handed a few White Rabbit toffee in her hand to her brother and said crisply: "Brother, give these White Rabbit toffee to your unmarried sister-in-law to try, so that she can marry you as soon as possible.

.”

His brother touched her head and said with a smile: "Little sister, your sister-in-law has promised to marry me. You can take this candy and eat it yourself!"

After hearing what her brother said, the little girl said happily: "Really? That's great!" Then she carefully put the White Rabbit toffee in her pocket.

Seeing the deep affection between his son and daughter, the uncle showed a happy smile on his face. He warmly invited Bai Zirui: "Young man, come... come into the house and take a look at my old furniture. If you like it, buy it. No."

If you like it, don’t force it.”

When Bai Zirui and his uncle entered his home, they immediately saw a bill placed on the north side of the hall. At 70% of the height of the bill, there was a square Eight Immortals table with officials on both sides.

Official hat chair, this is a complete set of Eight Immortals table and chairs.

Bai Zirui stepped forward to take a closer look. He had studied with Popohou Hou for so long, and he immediately saw that this set of furniture was made of huanghuali wood from the Ming Dynasty. He first looked at the large table against the wall of this set of furniture.

It is a roll-top desk, with both ends of the desk rolled down, either in a scroll shape, or folded at square angles, with exquisite shape, exquisite carvings, elegant and dignified. The main frame of the desk is made of huanghuali wood, and is partially inlaid with wenge wood with kid patterns.

And the boxwood Kuilongguaizi group flower pattern.

The two ends of the case surface are bent downward at right angles, and the ends are inlaid with chicken wing wood boards. The sides of the board are concave and form square edges, which are simple, simple, generous and implicit;

The shape is clear, well-proportioned, the colors are contrasting, the texture is warm and delicate, the overall shape of the strip is stretched and dignified, the horizontal lines are smooth, and the bearing is clear and generous.

Bai Zirui read the form and then looked at the Eight Immortals table. It was a waist-cinched Eight Immortals table. The early Eight Immortals tables were basically uncorked, that is, the four legs were connected straight to the ground. Later, after improvements, there was a

The hoops are shrunk in, just like a woman tightening her waist, so it is called a corset. This form of corset softens the overall line, making it look shy and timid like a girl, which makes it more beautiful.

The top of the Eight Immortals table is made of bars inlaid with double huanghuali boards. The edge of the ice plate and the tooth plate are fully carved with Ganoderma lucidum patterns. The square legs have Ganoderma lucidum feet and are integrated into one piece. The shoulders and legs are all edged with sun lines, and the lines are sharp. Wood grain texture

It is clear, the carving is delicate and smooth, the shape is full and elegant, and it means auspiciousness.

The Eight Immortals Carved Ganoderma Table has clear texture and glossy color. The waist is folded and the legs are folded. The carving of the crocodile legs is delicate and smooth. The long tooth plate is carved with Ganoderma lucidum pattern. The shape of this table is full and elegant. The Eight Immortals table tooth plate, braces, legs and feet are carved with patterns.

The four corners of the table top, the table legs, the tooth plates, and the connection points between the braces are wrapped in copper or gold and painted with gold or red paint.

After looking at the table, I looked at the two chairs. This is also a four-head official hat chair made of huanghuali. The so-called four-headed chair means that the head of the chair comes out on both sides, and the front ends of the left and right armrests come out. This is the traditional name of folk carpentry. From the common custom

When you arrive in Daya, you are called "two-year-old" when you have no idea.

These two four-year-old official hat chairs are typical Ming-style chairs, which were also a symbol of status at that time. There are very few decorations. There is a pattern embossed on the back panel, which is composed of a cloud and two dragons. Another subtle

The carving is lightly carved with a small cloud on the rim of the pot's door.

The chair makes full use of the advantages of huanghuali material. The wood is hard and smooth, the color is neither quiet nor noisy, and the texture is either hidden or visible, vivid and changeable. The design concept of Ming-style furniture embodies the Chinese aesthetics of moving and stillness, hardness and softness.

The aesthetic concept that nothing is better than something.

After Bai Zirui saw these pieces of furniture, he was very satisfied but still a little regretful. If he had four official chairs and two coffee tables for entertaining guests, he would be able to make up a complete set of furniture for the central hall.

When the uncle saw Bai Zirui looking at the furniture, his face looked a little happy at first, but in the end he showed a look of regret, so he stepped forward and asked nervously: "Young man, are these furniture to your liking? Do you want to accept them?"

?”

Bai Zirui nodded and said: "Uncle, I like these pieces of furniture, but I'm a little sorry. It would be nice if there were a few more chairs and coffee tables for entertaining guests to make up the whole set of furniture in the central hall."

As soon as Bai Zirui finished speaking, the wife of the uncle who came in with tea to entertain him heard what he said and said with a smile: "Young man, the other chairs and coffee tables you mentioned are the same set of furniture as the Eight Immortals Table in our house.

, I usually put them away because I thought they were taking up space and getting in the way when I was cleaning.”

Bai Zirui asked in surprise, "Auntie, are you telling the truth?"

The aunt said confidently: "Young man, my boss and I are honest and honest people who never lie to others. Everyone in our village knows this. If you don't believe me, just ask Xiao Xing."

Meng Xiaoxing nodded and said: "Brother Zirui, my uncle and aunt are famous in our village for being loyal, honest and sincere to others."

Bai Zirui said happily: "This is great. Master, please take me to see those chairs and coffee tables?"

The uncle waved his hand and said with a smile: "Young man, don't worry! Things are right there and won't get lost. You have come all the way from the city to the countryside. Let's have a drink of tea first, otherwise the news will spread to others."

They say we don’t know how to treat guests.”

The aunt also said with enthusiasm: "Young man, look, I've made tea. Let's have a sip of tea and rest first."

While the aunt was talking, the uncle placed the Eight Immortals table in the middle of the main room, set up a few stools, and greeted Bai Zirui repeatedly: "Come... come, young man, let's have a drink of tea first, and then I will take you to see the furniture.

"

Bai Zirui faced the uncle and the aunt's warm reception. He was so kind but could only walk to the Eight Immortals table and sit down. Meng Xiaoxing followed him and sat down next to him. The aunt quickly made him a cup of tea and put it in front of him warmly.

Said: "Young man, come... have tea!"

Bai Zirui bowed and thanked him: "Thank you! Auntie!"
