Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 349: :No regrets
Remember in one second【】
I don’t know what kind of wood was used. The wooden comb is light yellow in color and oily. When placed quietly in the box, it looks like gold, stone and jade, delicate and smooth.
The wooden comb has a thick back and thin teeth. The teeth are fine and even in thickness. The back is carved with an apricot pattern. The light yellow pattern looks simple and elegant, but it is very delicate.
Yu Youyao smiled happily, "Cousin, this wooden comb is the Dragon Boat Festival gift you originally wanted to give me. It's so beautiful. My favorite apricot pattern is carved on it. What kind of wood is it made of? Got it?"
The wood is delicate and moist, a bit more so than rosewood and yellow pear.
Zhou Linghuai smiled and said, "It's boxwood."
"It's actually a boxwood?!" Yu Youyao looked surprised. She took the boxwood comb and turned it over and over to look at it. "It takes a thousand years for boxwood to grow. "Xian Qing Ou Ji" records that "the boxwood is one inch per year, without any overflow. In leap years, it shrinks an inch, which is a destiny of heaven." This is because the destiny of boxwood is precious, so its destiny is limited by heaven. It grows slowly, which is rare!"
The boxwood is known as the "thousand-year short" and there is no aniseed. Even so, it will take at least a hundred years to grow before it can barely produce the material.
The best boxwoods can be hundreds or even thousands of years old.
The price is more expensive than rosewood and comparable to ebony.
The boxwood comb given by my cousin is almost as good as gold and jade.
Zhou Linghuai nodded, "Boxwood lasts all year round, but not in leap years. I planted boxwood on a hilltop in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing and raised a tree that was hundreds of years old. On a dim night, nothing happened. One star, take a branch of this wood, cut it and it will not crack, test it with water, if it sinks, there will be no fire? It is a very valuable product, so I made this wooden comb."
It is not easy to make a boxwood comb. It requires more than ten processes from cutting out materials to finished product.
It pays great attention to carving, tracing, ironing, engraving, grinding, etc.
I started doing this one early in the morning.
Yu Youyao felt like she had found a treasure. The fragrance of boxwood was very light? Very light? It seemed to be there but it was elegant. "Why did my cousin suddenly think of giving me a boxwood comb?"
Zhou Linghuai was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Compendium of Materia Medica records that "boxwood is the most important in the world because it has no fire." Its wood is tight and greasy, and it can be used as a comb to clear away heat, diuresis, and detoxify." The head is the first of all, and the hair is In addition to blood, there is an old saying that if you comb for a hundred years, you will live a hundred years without whitening. Boxwood dispels wind and dehumidification, promotes qi and blood circulation, clears away heat and detoxifies. If you comb a hundred times a day, it can also dredge the meridians, open up the mind and calm the mind. Prolong life. ”
There is such a boxwood comb in my mother’s makeup box? It was also made by my father.
My mother combs her hair every morning and evening with a boxwood comb against her scalp a hundred times.
When he was a child, he would often see his mother sitting in front of the glass mirror with disheveled hair. His father, who was always careless and unruly, was rarely gentle, combing his mother's hair with a boxwood comb.
Gently scrape the wooden comb downwards against the scalp until the ends of the hair.
Over and over again, never getting tired of it.
Like a wooden comb, you can comb your hair all the way to white hair.
"From now on, I will use the boxwood comb given by my cousin to comb my hair every day, and comb it a hundred times each time." Yu Youyao smiled and curved her lips, lifted a strand of hair on her chest, and gently held the boxwood comb. comb.
The wooden comb is polished very smoothly, and the toothed comb combs through the hair very smoothly.
The way the little girl combed her hair made Zhou Linghuai startled.
He gave the little girl a boxwood comb made by himself because the boxwood comb was good for the body. The little girl was also very busy with schoolwork and housekeeping every day.
Combing your hair with a boxwood comb in the morning and evening can also relieve fatigue, activate blood circulation and nourish the mind.
But he didn’t think anything else.
But now, seeing the little girl take the boxwood comb he carved himself, combing her hair one by one, she couldn't stop trembling slightly as she held it, wanting to take the boxwood comb with her own hands. , just like the father helps the mother comb her hair, he also helps the little girl comb her hair step by step.
Zhou Linghuai lowered his eyes, his grip gradually tightened, and then slowly relaxed. After doing this several times, he took it off, and rubbed the mignonette beads on his wrist with his right hand, "Okay!"
After finishing speaking, he lowered his eyes.
The mignonette fragrance beads on the wrist are yellowish in color with a hint of warmth, without any roughness. They are wrapped around the wrist again and again, as if even the heart is bound, but this restrained fragrance is refreshing. It touches the heart and spleen, making the heart happy, and the heart is naturally happy, so it also feels restrained, and it is also very satisfying.
Zhou Linghuai raised his eyes. On one wrist of the little girl, she was wearing a blood beeswax Buddhist bead given by Mrs. Yu. String of fragrant beads.
He couldn't help but laugh when he heard the little girl's cheerful voice: "I really like the gift my cousin gave me today. It was such a surprise. This is the happiest Dragon Boat Festival I have ever had. Thank you cousin." ”
Zhou Linghuai nodded. "I also want to thank my cousin. This is also true." He tilted his head and looked at the "Albizia Julibrissin" on his arm, and gently rubbed the sachet on his waist with his fingertips. "This is the most interesting Dragon Boat Festival I have ever had."
The best Dragon Boat Festival is when two people carefully prepare their best intentions for each other.
At this time, Chunxiao came over, "Miss, breakfast is ready."
Yu Youyao smiled quickly, "Cousin, let's go have breakfast together."
With her cousin accompanying her, Yu Youyao felt that even her breakfast had become more delicious, so she had an extra bowl of blue stem porridge.
Zhou Linghuai couldn't help but chuckle, "Eat very little?"
Yu Youyao was embarrassed for a moment, but she had always been pampered in front of her cousin. She cooed, "I got up and got busy today when I had my nap. I was so hungry that I ate so much. I usually don't eat so much, at most, two small bowls of porridge." At this point, she puffed out her cheeks and glared at her cousin fiercely, "Does my cousin dislike me for eating too much? ”
^0^Remember in one second【】
How could Zhou Linghuai dare to say "yes"? He quickly shook his head, "No, I think it's a blessing that my cousin can eat and have good health. This is very good."
He suddenly thought of the day he first entered the Yu Mansion~IndoMTL.com~The little girl was a round little person, full of baby fat, but her heart was like glass, and her eyes were as clear as day, pure and flawless.
He thought at that time, he didn't expect that the Yu Mansion would hide such a little Jiaojiao.
I also think that the little girl is cute even if she is round.
It seems good to eat more? !
Yu Youyao tilted her head and looked at her cousin, "I don't care, even if I eat too much, I can't go back on what my cousin promised me before!"
I told you that if she falls into despair in the future, you must support her and you can’t go back on your word.
Zhou Linghuai suddenly laughed, "I remember."
Yu Youyao finally felt happy. She filled another bowl of blue stem porridge and placed it in front of her cousin. "Then cousin should eat more. It's a blessing to be able to eat. It's good to be in good health."
Zhou Linghuai had actually used one more bowl than usual. He was full now, but when he saw the little girl looking at him with a smile, he felt that he could have another bowl.
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
