Chapter 11003
"But when it comes to my son's generation, it's hard to say."
"How old is your son? What is he doing now?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
"My son is twelve years old and has passed the Tongsheng Examination. I want him to study and see if he can take a different path in the future."
"If you are ambitious..."
"Hey, you can't make a fortune by running this shop, and it's not easy to get a wife..."
"But the shop opposite seems to have a lot of money..."
"Yes, they The family does have a lot of money, but I don’t care about that kind of wealth.”
This sentence won the appreciation of Yang Ruoqing and others.
"Okay, guests, can you see if this paper is OK? If it is OK, I will start to lighten the eyes." Wang You raised his head and asked Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huazhong.
"Wait a minute, let's take a look." Yang Ruoqing said, and Yang Huazhong, Dajie and others gathered around Zhizha.
Looking from head to toe...
This thing is a substitute for Da Sun who was pierced according to the method taught by Yuan Daozhang.
Burning this substitute is equivalent to protecting the Dasun family from disaster.
“I think there’s nothing wrong with it.” Yang Huazhong said, based on the experience of burning paper bundles for Yang Huaming’s mother-in-law last time, this time Yang Huazhong focused on checking whether there was any damage on the surface of the paper bundles.
Dajie also circled around the paper tie, touched his chin and nodded gently, "I can't see what's wrong."
Yang Ruoqing looked at it most carefully. After reading it, she also felt There is no damage, no long or short legs. If you click on the eyes, it will be really lifelike.
But——
"Shopkeeper Wang, make another pair of gloves for this paper tie and let her wear it."
"Gloves?" Wang You was a little stunned, because This is the first time he has heard of this kind of demand. It is very common to equip paper bundles with clothes, shoes, socks and hats.
But it was the first time for Wang You to put on gloves for Zhizhao.
Yang Huazhong didn't say anything. He was thinking about the purpose of Yang Ruoqing's request.
After all, Dajie is younger and likes to ask, "Cousin, why do you need to put gloves on my mother? What's the purpose of this?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Daochang Yuan's Explain.”
“But, "As long as I can remember, my mother never wore gloves when working," Dajie added. "Last time Huang Mao saw that she had frostbite on the back of her hands, so she made a pair of warm gloves for her, but she didn't No, she said wearing gloves would make things worse.”
"Dajie, you don't understand. Your mother has been killing pigs for more than 20 years, and her hands are covered in blood."
"Not to mention that this paper has to be tied with gloves, even if it is your father in the future, you Mom, when we go to Hexi in a hundred years, you and Xiaojie must remember to wear gloves on their hands. This is the rule in the family. "
"The rule in the family?" Dajie Zhang. Keep your mouth shut, the eyes behind the lenses are confused.
Yang Huazhong also thought about it at this time. He patted Dajie on the shoulder and said, "I have heard this too. When a butcher dies, the family does have to wear gloves on their hands."
“Do you really need to wear gloves?”
"Yeah!"
Wang You on the side also reacted, "Oh, it took me a long time to do it, so it turned out that you wanted to make paper ties as a stand-in? The original person is a butcher, right?"
"Yes."
"Then I will understand "Come on, wait, I'll make gloves right now!"
Wang You turned around, took two pieces of tin foil and covered it on the back of the paper-wrapped hand, traced the outline of the paper-wrapped hand, and then cut it out. I quickly made a set of gloves that just fit on my paper-tied hands. "The gloves I made look like they grow together with your hands, so they can definitely look real!" Wang You looked at his work, with a hint of pride in his tone.
Yang Huazhong and Yang Ruoqing are also very satisfied with Wang You's craftsmanship. He is indeed a talent.
The nerdy Dajie still can’t figure out what kind of elegance this is.
Seeing his puzzled look, Yang Ruoqing said to herself that it was no wonder that she and Daan were studying together, and Daan was able to get the top prize and go all the way to the capital.
But Dajie took the exam two or three times before he finally passed the exam. Even so, he was able to pass the exam this time because of the guidance of Daan.
Without Daan's guidance, Dajie might have stopped being a scholar.
Yang Ruoqing didn't want Dajie to continue to embarrass her, so she said to Dajie: "The rules in the family are that the butcher's hands were stained with too much blood during his lifetime, and he will be punished after his death."< br>
"The punishment is to chop off both hands."
"Huh? This is too...too cruel!" The nerd Dajie's face turned pale, and he took a breath of cold air when he spoke. gas.
Yang Ruoqing thought to herself, how cruel is this?
Go to the temple and look at the scroll hanging on the wall in front of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Hall. It depicts the ten halls of Yama, as well as the interrogation scenes in each Yama hall in the future. There are also text introductions and various sentencing rules. .
With words and pictures, that’s really cruel!
It’s just that that kind of cruelty is directed at those who committed the most heinous crimes during their lives, so it’s not called cruelty, it’s just as it should be, and it’s called pleasing to the people.
So when you behave in society, try your best to be kind.
What if there are really ten palaces waiting for you?
Even without the constraints and intimidation of ten palaces, you don't have to be too ruthless and selfish as a person. Be broad-minded, be kind to others, stick to your own principles, and live a transparent and casual life. This is to please yourself and please yourself.
People who are narrow-minded and do all kinds of bad things are not happy in nature.
Okay, let’s get back to the topic, Yang Ruoqing continued to tell Dajie: “So we made this paper tie and put on gloves on the paper tie, just to block the hand when chopping, do you understand? ?”
"Understood..." Dajie murmured, "But the paper tie itself is used as a stand-in, will the gloves wear it?"
Yang Ruoqing tilted her head and asked Dajie's question This question is a bit...speechless.
"Whether we are cheating or not is not something we have to worry about. We just have to follow the old rules," she said.
“Since it is an old rule, it must exist for a reason. Let’s not think about the twists and turns. Let’s just follow it.”
Dajie nodded, Completely no more questions.
After nearly half an hour, the paper binding was finally completed.
Because the eyes were opened, in Wang You’s words, the paper tie had a certain spirituality. Before taking it back and burning it, Wang You took a piece of black cloth and tied it horizontally. Eye.
Yang Ruoqing took out an ingot of silver and threw it to Wang You, "This is the wages."
Wang You took the ingot of silver with both hands and saw that it was five taels in total!
He was shocked, "It's too much, too much!"
According to the normal price, five or six hundred cents is enough.
If it were three times the amount promised previously, it would be less than two taels of silver.
But now I've been given five taels, which is really a ridiculous amount...
"This price is worth it to you." Yang Ruoqing said.
“Today is already the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year will be celebrated in three or four days. Take the money, close up early, and spend the New Year with your family!”
“That’s it, that’s it, I have been busy all year long, so busy that my feet are not touching the ground, but I am still just making ends meet.”
