Chapter 499 Fan Face
The godmother also smiled helplessly, as if she knew what her best friend was like: "Let's not talk about this anymore, we are going to leave early the day after tomorrow, so hurry up and make whatever preparations you have to do, Master Zuzu He said that every time you go to Shu, it’s like moving a warehouse.”
"What a witty saying..." Zhou Zhi looked at his godmother's house and felt that she and his godfather were the direct disciples of the Gu family. Although they were paid a lot of money, they still "sit on the wall and sit there", leaving only one person. The Yangtze River stone eggs under the bed are not shameful but proud: "I prepared Xianshi soy sauce this time. Red water bug tea, Xiaguan Tuocha, if I leave early the day after tomorrow, I will go to Fuyin to pull lychees with Brother Lei tomorrow night."
"Well...should I prepare something too? I haven't seen them for many years..."
"I'm ready" Zhou. I took out several long-shaped cloth bags from the bag. I saw that they were made by my grandmother. When I opened them, I found several folding fans. The fan ribs were made of Xiangfei bamboo and Lizhu: "They were made by Lao Ma Tou of Beimen Wharf. I offended my uncle by preparing a fishing rod for him last time, so he almost didn’t even agree to get it for me.”
After speaking, he seemed to remember Lao Ma's weird temper and stuck out his tongue.
The godmother opened the folding fan with a smile and found a very familiar rubbing painting on the fan: "Suzaku Han Brick?"
"Yes, it is a favor without any expense." Zhou Zhi said with a smile : "Lu Xun once said that only the stone carvings of the Han people are the most impressive. They are deep and majestic. There are many portraits of Shijiachuan, and I selected some exquisite ones to be painted on the fan. The ancestors and grandpas decided to like them. "
"But why are your paintings so skewed? "Give me a piece of brick?" Some frowned: "The coloring of each portrait is also different..."
To say so is to show weakness, but Zhou Zhi did not dare to say that his godmother was showing weakness, so he had to patiently explain: "This is a technique , called 'Bapotu', also called 'Jin' "Ashes" is a painting that depicts the scene of a pile of debris. The debris must be worn out, cracked, and corroded by water and fire, which is called eight pieces of debris. The content is old calligraphy and painting, fans, epigraphy and stone rubbings, letters, albums and other things in the study. Something.”
"It's weird." After hearing what Zhou Zhi said, the godmother looked back at the fan again: "But it seems quite interesting..."
In fact, it is quite boring to play this game. It needs to be torn when rubbing. Some pictorials cover parts of the face directly to form natural tear marks, and then blend and stroke the edges to create a laminated effect of residual pages. Different colors are also added to create an aesthetic feeling, which actually requires a lot of thought.
Coupled with Lao Ma Tou’s fan bone craftsmanship and grandma’s handmade fan bag, this folding fan becomes a very exquisite cultural craft.
"By the way, stepbrother, are you interested in going to the capital together? Let's get familiar with the environment in advance?"
"Wait a minute." Only then did the godmother find out about this: "Go to the capital to do it What? ”
"The manager of the engineering and art fees said that he promised to take me to the capital to open my eyes and see the many official kiln wares there." Zhou Zhi took care of it: "If my sworn brother is interested, the expenses will be borne by me!"
“That’s it No need."
"Huh?"
"I mean, I don't need you to pay for it. It's not like he has no money."
"Godmother, you agree. ”
"Well, it's good to go there early to broaden your horizons. Let's see who's sitting in that Toyota. Me, you, Qiao Mu, Tingting, mother and daughter, it's good."
"Uh, godmother, I have two more A classmate wants to go with him this time." Zhou Zhi said cheekily, "One is Jiang Shuyi. Tingting can study in Sichuan Audio High School, so she belongs to Shuyi. My sister-in-law helped me.”
“I know our famous young singer Tang Qi in Sichuan, right?”
“Yes, she is here to communicate with Teacher Tang. It’s much easier to get up.”
“Well, what about another classmate?”
"There is another companion that Shu Yi is looking for. You should also know, He Shiqing. Her former name was He Yongmei." Today's reading seeds are small and have high foreheads, right? ”
“ Yes, that’s her.” “Is there anything special about her going to Shu?”
“That’s not the case, uh, maybe she had to go on a study tour with Shu Yi. Friends I know. There are also two classmates who are already working in Shudu.”
"Boss, you have classmates who are working in Shudu? Can't you?"
"Yes, one is named Zhao Zhonggang, who is a firefighting policeman in the Central District Squadron, and has become the squad leader; and the other is named Yan. Xiao, this kid is lucky. He was first selected and sent to the Provincial Sports Academy to compete. After training at the technical school, they were selected into the provincial takraw team."
"You two classmates are really promising."
"Ah, are they..." Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded. The halo of "other people's children" can be attached to Yan Xiao's head?
“Okay.” Godmother said, “But the Toyota won’t be able to fit in. Then you, Qiao Mu and the teacher will sit on the bus together.”
"Well..." Zhou Zhi wanted to use the excuse of motion sickness to put Jiang Shuyi on the bus, but then he thought that she would be extremely nervous in front of all the teachers, so he decided to forget it: "Okay, then I will Let's go get lychee with Brother Lei."
"I'll go too!" Mr. Qiao said immediately.
After returning home, Zhou Zhi told his mother that Mr. Qiao had ranked second in the county. As expected, her mother picked up the phone and dialed the number immediately.
Zhou Zhi shook his head and had no choice but to go upstairs to inform Guan Tingting and Guan Ma that they would leave the day after tomorrow and talk to Guan Dabin about buying wine.
Guan Dabin thought Zhou Zhi was ordering him, so he patted his chest and said that he had provided the wine gift.
Of course Zhou Zhi refused, saying that one code equals one code. By the way, his mother told them to take them to the house opposite the thatched cottage to have a look. If they think it is okay, they can live there, which can also save money in the provincial capital. of overhead.
In the end, Guan Ma made the decision, saying that we don’t have to be polite with him, and we will do whatever he says.
However, my family prepared a gift for each of Jiang Shuyi's three uncles. This is the proper etiquette.
Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh. He had prepared a bottle of Wuliangye, a bottle of Laojiao Tequ, and a bottle of Dongjiu for Uncle Jiang. I was afraid that Lao Guan only had one bottle of Maotai.
He smiled and teased Guan Tingting a few words to dispel her nervousness caused by adults talking about these things. He also told her to soak the winter melon rind in water and drink it. He also flirted with her and said that he would treat her to food after a few days. After enjoying the fragrant and spicy hot pot, Zhou Zhi came down from upstairs.
When I got home, my mother was still chatting with my godmother. Seeing this, Zhou Zhi reminded me: "That's about it. My godmother is no better than you. She has a regular schedule and needs to rest on time at nine o'clock."
My mother looked at the time. It’s almost ten o’clock: “That episode I’ll talk to you about the business affairs some other time. I accidentally talked about it during the conversation... You should rest quickly! I’ll tell him about it, okay, let’s talk about it later!”
< br>After hanging up the phone, my mother was a little stunned. : "Isn't it a bit of a disadvantage that Qingbei's grades are ranked first in foreign affairs?"
"It doesn't matter." Zhou Zhi said carelessly: "Anyway, I still have to study for graduate school, take the Ph.D. exam, and have two adjustments. Opportunity."< br>
"Huh?" Mom suddenly reacted: "Yes, isn't his sister Wei Yi the one who was admitted as a graduate student at Shouwai University? She has company when she starts school and comes to Beijing! I have to tell your godmother …”
After speaking, Zhou Zhi picked up the phone and quickly reached out to hold it down: "Is it possible that Sister Yi can still run away? It won't be too late to talk about this later. There is no rush now. By the way, Mr. Qiao will also go to Shu with me this time. Then we will go to the capital together.”
“That’s good, we can get familiar with the school first,” my mother said. Needless to say, she was actually a little worried about Zhou Zhi traveling to the capital. After all, Gongmei and the fee manager were completely outside her scope of knowledge, and Mr. Qiao had always been a reliable "other people's child" in her heart: "This way You can also have a companion.”
