Chapter 385 Dutiful son and worthy grandson
Chi Shi once thought about this possibility.
"What would happen if you entered the Chu Prince's Mansion with your eyes closed?" Chi Shi said, reaching out to compare with a height, "You will trip over the threshold and fall into a blue nose and swollen face!"
"Although ordinary people like us are not as high as the threshold of the royal palace, we have also made a baffle to block those evil and evil sluts."
Zhou Xian turned his head and saw that as Chi Shi said, every household here has a threshold.
He recalled the painting that Jiang Yun painted. The person on the top was clearly drawn and clearly, with very complete characters, from head to toe.
Moreover, there was no twisted appearance of a big head and a small body, or deliberately stretching the thighs. This shows that there is a relatively stable light source behind them.
"If there is a threshold, according to the principle, the threshold will also have a shadow reflected on the wall. But there is no."
Chi Shi nodded, raised his hand and pointed at one of the families.
"This is an ordinary house. Unlike you, you don't want to put a big golden nanmu coffin in it, but you still want to put a coffin in it. You will go out horizontally like a crab, and there is a banner next to you, mourning..."
"So if the door is not wider, it will be stuck when the coffin comes out! Ordinary people don't have this trouble, and the door has never been wide open. If it is as you said, the two figures on the painting should have a frame."
Chi Shi said, stretching out his thumbs and index fingers, and gestured a rectangle and placed it in front of his eyes.
Through this box, let’s see Zhou Xian.
Zhou Xian looked at her framed eyes and laughed out loud, "Ashi's eyes are very beautiful, I want to draw them."
"You can still draw?" Chi Shi was a little surprised.
When Zhou Xian heard this, he said weakly, "I am a little prince after all, and I have learned about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although it is not as good as Xu Qingming, there should be no problem with drawing an eye."
Chi Shi gave Zhou Xian a thumbs up in admiration, "I can't do it, I can only draw skeleton eyes."
Zhou Xian joked, don’t think I’m really stupid if I look stupid!
Where does the skeleton have eyes, he only has holes!
Chi Shi said, turning around and returning to the teahouse.
"Will Jiang Yun confuse dreams with reality? Sometimes the dreams they have are particularly realistic, making people unable to tell where they are." Zhou Xian said, after all, they are just a child's memory.
Chi Shi listened, walked a few steps forward, walked to a house opposite the teahouse, and knocked on the door.
"Who!" The door creaked and a white flower man, about sixty or seventy, exposed his head. He opened his mouth and missed three teeth.
Chi Shi took out a handful of copper coins, and the old man's eyes lit up, and he pulled them all out of Chi Shi's hand, put them in his pocket, and then closed the door lightly. The whole set of movement was smooth and he didn't hit him at all.
"My son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and great-grandson-in-law, are all asleep inside! I put the yard to pick up beans. The mung bean I bought recently was not good. There were so many stones inside, which made people miserable."
He said, smiling, "I don't know what the noble man wants to inquire about? I have lived in this alley for a lifetime, and nothing can be hidden from me."
Chi Shi's eyes moved, "Are there many people coming here to find out the news? Is there a fortune teller living here, or a beautiful girl?"
The old man smiled mysteriously, "That's not. The farts here are as smelly as other places. There is nothing to say. Only fools can... No, only you have a unique noble person like you, who will be interested."
"When I was young, I was a human being. I didn't use money to tell news, so I got used to it."
Chi Shi glanced out of the blue and saw Zhou Xian lowering his head and laughing, and humming.
She raised her hand and pointed to the third family next to the teahouse, "Who is that family living?"
The old man looked over her gaze and sighed, "That's the Wang family. Did you see the stone tablet? What you are talking about is their family. The old Wang went there early and left a son named Wang Gui. The stone tablet said that Wang Gui's son Wang Wang."
"When Wang Gui was a child, he grew up eating a hundred families. When he was eating, he ate from one end of the alley to the other end. The people living here were all old neighbors. He was very diligent and often carried water for us. The people in the alley liked him very much."
"After he grew up, he became a stuntman and gave birth to a son and a daughter. His son was named Wang Wang and his daughter was called Wang Xiniang. Wang Xiniang married a businessman in the south of the city and came back from time to time in his early years. Later, he followed the merchants to the south. He had not seen this for many years."
Chi Shi listened and looked at Zhou Xian. She looked at the courtyard wall and said, "Has the Wang family rebuilt the yard? Why do I see that the bricks in his house are slightly different from those in other houses."
The white-haired old man was stunned, opened his eyes wide in surprise, and suddenly became excited, "Can you be the master who can calculate?"
Chi Shi waved his hand and said seriously, "It's just that the big rocks have been broken, and the accumulated experience is not worth mentioning."
The alley was quiet, and a gust of wind blew, and only the sound of flying around the corner of the clothes was heard.
When the old man looked at the pond with a strange expression, even pigs are blowing themselves from flying!
"Although I don't know how you know, I have indeed practiced it. Don't be anxious, listen to me. Tell me that Wang Gui's name is not good, it's too expensive and can't be suppressed. His wife didn't say that she died early, and she even encountered a robber on the raid."
"When I was carried back, my flesh was vague. Although my life was saved, my legs were gone and I couldn't walk."
The old man said, but there was something in his eyes that was not pity, but envious.
Chi Shi looked at it and thought, "Wang Wang was very filial to Wang Gui and was praised for his filial piety, so the wordless stele was engraved with merits, and the Dabei Lane became Xiaohe Lane?"
The old man exclaimed again, "You're afraid you're not here to find the old man, I'm making fun of it. Have you asked about it before? Indeed, although Wang Gui's legs are gone, his son is very filial. He pushes a unicycle every day and leads him out to play."
"We wipe him, make medicine, and cook broth every day. We lazy men usually take a bath for ten or half a month, but Wang Wang washes his father every day, making him feel a little more energetic than when his legs are not broken."
"Later, I spent a lot of money to build a chair with wheels for Wang Gui and opened a door. Who doesn't envy Wang Gui in this alley? It's said that raising children to protect themselves from old age."
"Some sons are really guarding against old age. They are children who have accumulated virtue in their previous life who have returned to repay their kindness. Some people's sons are debt collectors. Look, the old man is in his seventies. If I buy a mung bean, I have to be picked on my mouth!"
