Chapter 722 Qibao (4 updates

The little girl kept thinking about the boxwood table and chairs in the Si family. After acupuncture, she couldn’t bear to take a rest and wanted to go see Gudong. The elders in the Si family also couldn’t laugh or cry. The head of the Si family did not stop him: "Axian, please accompany the little girl to see the strange things."

The little girl did not want to stay for tea, presumably because there were mostly elderly people in the Si family present, and she was not of the same age. People would find it boring, and there are a few old people wearing only their underwear. The main hall is not suitable for entertaining young guests. The little girl is curious about the tables and chairs at home, so why not just follow her wishes and let A-Xian have fun with the little guy? Let's go and play as much as we want.

Everyone in the Si family also felt that it was not appropriate to force the little girl to drink tea in the main hall. After all, some of the family members were lying on the floor like arranging garlic, and they were doing acupuncture. The smell of sweat makes it really impolite to treat guests in this place.

With the elder’s permission, Si Xianxin happily agreed, walked quickly to the little beauty, and accompanied the little beauty to the fifth entrance. The courtyard looked at the ancient tables and chairs collected at home.

When visiting Si's house, if there is something they like in the photos, they can allocate their hands and go away to tell the elders in the family.

The little girl gave nine people acupuncture in a row, with pauses in between. , it lasted more than three hours, the sun was setting outside, the setting sun was shining in the evening, and the afterglow was long.

Si Xian, as the host, accompanied the little guest out of the seventh courtyard, and then passed through the seventh courtyard. From the sixth to the fifth entrance, take the little girl to the warm pavilion next to the main hall on the east side of the house.

The middle room of the three courtyards in front of Si's Taimen is connected, and the back door is connected to the back room. A courtyard is connected. The rear of the main hall of the fourth courtyard is not connected with the main hall door. There is a cloister alley from the side of the wing room connected to the second courtyard, which also ensures the privacy of the private living house.

In the middle of the main hall of the fifth courtyard of the Si family is an Arhat bed, with tables on both sides equipped with thrones. A room on the east side is used as a warming pavilion, where the head of the Si family handles family affairs in winter. A large room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, with a screen. The inner room is for resting, and the outer room is the director's office. There is an Arhat bed on the east side, and there is a desk with an upturned head in front. There are ancient suitcases next to the wall and separated from the inner room, which can be used for storage and storage. Functional treasure rack.

There is also a beautiful five-piece set of waisted round tables and four stools in the middle of the pavilion. The waisted round stools are exquisite and carved, and the table is slightly smaller than the standard round table. It is carved from whole wood and made with exquisite workmanship, with exquisite lotus and cloud patterns.

The table and stools are both club-footed. The round table and stool have another layer about ten centimeters above the ground. It's like a hollow flower-carved board. If you have any small items that you can't hold in your hands at all times, you can stuff them under the bench or the second layer under the table. The double-layer table and bench are both beautiful and practical.

The round table and stool are very bright in color, lighter than gold, and slightly more positive than bright yellow. Its color is not the color of brushing the knees, but the oily color of wood that naturally penetrates oil.

Si Xian led the little girl into the Dongnuan Pavilion from the main hall, pointed to the tables and chairs in the middle with a beautiful and gentle smile: "Little beauty, this set of round tables and stools with waistband is the set of boxwood tables that my elders talked about. Chair."

Xin San and his brothers couldn't help laughing, a smile forming on their lips.

Following Xin Shao into the East Pavilion, Le Yun raised her pair of X-ray eyes and quickly scanned around, secretly jealous, there are so many ancient things! None of the furniture in the Sijia East Pavilion is modern or antique. They are all genuine antiques. Most of them were from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, with a few pieces from the late Zhu Ming Dynasty.

Every ancient piece of furniture has aura, especially the set of round tables and stools with a belted waist that the Si family calls the most distinctive. It is the most precious of all wooden furniture.

"I understand furniture made of whole wood." After taking a quick look, Le Yun was filled with emotion. She quickly ran to the table and sat down on a round stool. , feel its warm breath and elegant fragrance, touch the tabletop with your hands, it is delicate and smooth.

“The elders’ notes record that what was fished out from the Qiantang River were whole sections of wood, some of which were corroded. Because the material was rare, they were moved back and stored for more than a hundred years. It was only during this period that an elder who loved woodworking suggested making tables and chairs. The raw materials were limited, and he only had four benches, and a small amount of leftover materials to put together to make a printing box." The little beauty liked tables and chairs very much, Si Xian explained as he explained Go to a round stool and sit down.

Xin San and his three brothers stood together and observed whether the little girl liked the furniture.

"Things are rare and valuable." Le Yun stroked the table, jumped up and moved the round stool she sat on to test the weight. The small round stool was very heavy, indeed weighing more than one One hundred pounds.

Putting down the round stool, he looked at the furniture in the East Pavilion with strange eyes, and asked with a smile: "Master Xin, are your seniors sure this is boxwood?"

"Isn't it?" Si Xian asked back. The notes written by his elders mentioned boxwood. Although it was indeed very different from boxwood, the elders thought it was because it had been soaked in water for too long and had to turn into stone. sign, so it is particularly heavy.

"Yes, and no." Leyun sat back on the stool.

　"How do you say it?" The little beauty knows a lot. If you have any questions, you must ask her for advice. Otherwise, there will be no store like this in this village.

"From the information I know, this tree is a kind of rare tree that has become extinct a long time ago. It is called 'Qian Jin Wood' or 'Golden Wood' in ancient medicine. Its reproductive ability is extremely poor. Tolerant to cold but not heat, it is only suitable to grow in places like Kunlun. It became extinct thousands of years ago. Currently, it only grows in Kunlun.There are no seeds saved in Lun's Mysterious Land.

This kind of tree grows extremely slowly. It takes a thousand years to grow to the waist of one foot. The length and breadth of the tree weighs a thousand kilograms. It takes ten thousand years to be considered mature. The flesh is golden and does not rot or spoil. It can be said to be the ancient ancestor of golden poplar. Boxwood is one of the descendants of this tree. Judging from the color and age pattern of this round chair, it is not yet fully mature. It is probably only about seven or eight thousand or eight thousand years old, so it will corrode if it is soaked in water or buried in the soil. ”

“It is not rotten or bad, so magical? Doesn't it mean that there is no opponent who can restrain it, which is against the will of heaven. Si Xian touched the table in surprise. Because the tables and chairs had a cool feeling, the owners usually moved them out for use in the summer. It is not bad, but it has a fatal flaw. It is afraid of fire and will burn to dregs when it encounters an open flame. Because it contains tree oil, encountering a fire is equivalent to adding fuel to the fire. Burning wood is like paper catching fire. If you put it Don't expect to have any chance of rescue in a raging fire. I also looked at the table and went back to the hospital to take a nap. ”

I’ve also seen the table with stories. It’s time to go back. Le Yun stretched a little and walked away with her bag.

The little beauty gave it to nine people at once. The workload of acupuncture for an elder was huge. Xin Wushao also understood her difficulties and did not invite her to visit the Taimen Courtyard. He sent her back to the East Courtyard to rest.
