Xie Lingyan asked curiously, "Is there really a hairpin that can cure diseases?"
The landlady smiled brightly and said, "Girl, we do have this. We wear purses, put a few slices of vanilla in it to smell the rich fragrance. The hairpins are carefully carved and filled with Dao patterns, so they can naturally be used for self-defense.
Of course, the spiritual power of the Dao pattern is insufficient, so that's another matter. As for dispelling evil, it has been passed down from ancient times that there is a peach wood sword that can dispel evil. Since peach wood can be whittled into a wooden sword, it stands to reason that it can also be carved into a hairpin.
Then isn’t this hairpin meant to ensure peace and keep away evil spirits?”
Xie Lingyan couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that this could be explained.
This landlady is really eloquent, and she can tell the withered flowers to bloom again.
Xiao Shengxuan asked, "Ling'er, do you want to see a hairpin like that?"
Xie Lingyan said, "Let's just think about it naturally. I originally wanted to choose a hairpin. It should be thinner and thinner. It doesn't need to be inlaid with gold or jade. It's too dazzling and easy to be stolen."
The landlady said, "Girl, do you want to buy a wooden hairpin?"
"Yes, yes, do you have them here? I just took a look around. The hairpins and other jewelry you have here are very exquisite and gorgeous. I'm not saying they don't look good, but they are just not my favorite."
The landlady said, "The girl wants those simple jewelry, and we also have them here. Everyone has their own aspirations and preferences, so we have prepared enough according to what the customers want."
The proprietress asked the two distinguished guests to go inside. It was obvious that the young man was extraordinary, and the girl was also extraordinary. She had a bright and bright appearance, a sword on her back, and a rare white jade Liuyun Shang. That was not
General brocade fabric.
The landlady was very happy, thinking that it was rare to welcome a master who knew the goods, so she naturally wanted to entertain her well.
She personally led the two distinguished guests inside.
Xiao Shengxuan led the people around him and followed him in.
Inside this store, there is a door that leads inside. After passing the door, you suddenly see a quiet courtyard. At first glance, you can see rockery, flowing water, winding corridors and pavilions, which is very elegant and unique.
Xie Lingyan looked at it as she walked, and she said, "The nine-curved corridor has a secluded scenery and a unique cave."
No one can imagine that there is such a beautiful and refined place in this small store.
The landlady looked at the match made in heaven and felt a little envious.
This little girl should be the sweetheart of the masked man.
The talent and beauty of the man are truly enviable.
Come to think of it, young people are good, they take the path they like and do the things they like.
Several people went to an elegant wing room together. Inside was an ancient shelf from the Moon Cave Gate Duobao Pavilion. Above it were placed precious, delicate and smart jewelry. These jewelry were all carefully crafted, with different shapes and lifelike.
Xie Lingyan looked at the Duobao Pavilion that complemented the room and couldn't help but marvel, what a good thing.
She saw an ancient hairpin with a budding flower carved on it and exquisite and complex patterns carved on the body.
The landlady kept observing the little girl and realized that the distinguished guest had taken a fancy to her. She said, "Young girl has a really sharp eye. Have you found your favorite gift?"
Xie Lingyan pointed to the hairpin and asked, "What is it called?"
The landlady said, "Red Sandalwood Lingxiao Hairpin."
"Made of sandalwood?"
"yes."
"That must not be cheap."
Xie Lingyan was deterred. She just wanted to buy a hairpin and didn't want to show off.
Xiao Shengxuan asked, "Do you like it?"
Xie Lingyan took a bite of the candied haws in her hand and said, "To be honest, I like it, but there is no need to buy it."
Xiao Shengxuan said, "Since I like it, I bought it. I guess these are all unique items, right?" he asked the landlady.
The landlady said, "Young master, you have great insight. There is a saying that rare things are valuable. This red sandalwood hairpin was made by a famous craftsman from the northern region. It was originally a gift for the one you love. But she passed away and he was at the end of his life."
, so we took out the hairpin for auction, and our Ruyifang bought it at a high price."
Xie Lingyan said, "Since it is given to the deceased, why not bury it with him? It's a bit taboo."
She wouldn't buy items left behind by others. If she wanted a unique gift, she might as well customize it herself and have someone make the rarest one.
The landlady said, "The dead have passed away, but the living are like this. Besides, a tombstone has been erected. Is it possible that we still want to disturb the people underground just to give such a hairpin?"
"Then burn it." Xie Lingyan was a little disgusted. She was originally very interested, but after hearing that it was something given to the dead, she didn't like it the most.
The boss's wife said, "Speaking of the people who burned it and gave it away, let alone the girl, the master craftsman really tried it, but the fire couldn't burn through this wooden hairpin, and there was even a piece of quilt left on it.
There are traces of the fire."
"It is said that when the hairpin was first made, the wood turned white and did not look very good. However, after being burned by the fire, it took on a different look, which is the smooth brown appearance we see now. The hairpin
Now it looks solid and moist in texture, smooth and soft to the touch like jade, and feels as light as nothing when weighed."
Xie Lingyan stretched out her hand to take it and feel it. She said, "It feels really good. Is it because of some taboo that this hairpin has been kept on the shelf?"
The landlady said, "To tell you the truth, girl, it's true. Many people care that this is a gift to the deceased. Now that the living has it as their own, what does it mean?"
"Then why did the boss lady tell the truth? You could just repackage it, hide the truth, and just make up a lie. Wouldn't it be better?"
The landlady shook her head, "That's the truth, so why should I deceive myself? The jewelry on this shelf all has its origins. I can't just erase them all. If someone who is destined to be with me knows one day, what will happen to me?"
The reputation of Ruyifang has been completely destroyed."
Xie Lingyan said, "Where is the master craftsman who carved this hairpin? Is he still alive?"
The landlady said, "He is still there. He is now an old man and lives in Taoluyuan."
"Is he from the Yu family?" Xiao Shengxuan asked suddenly.
The landlady said, "How do you know, Master?"
Xiao Shengxuan said, "I have heard that the people who live in Taoluyuan are probably down and out and no one cares about them. Most people have forgotten where they came from."
The Yu family once had a son who was extremely talented and had extraordinary abilities. However, he became a waste when he grew up. He devoted himself to studying wood carving and wasted all his talents.
The landlady said, "It seems that the young master knows this amazing craftsman?"
"I just heard a little bit about it. I heard that he prefers others to call him a wood carver."
This woodcarver is not only good at carving wood, but also good at making cold weapons.
He only made three iron tools in his life, one of which was a knife, one was a sword, and one was a gun. He named them respectively: Banana Deer's Dream, Cicada Does Not Know the Snow, and Dead Tree Sees Spring.
The landlady said, "I have also heard of these three weapons. It is said that they were put on the stage for bidding but no one took any interest."
Xiao Shengxuan said, "How can people with rat eyes recognize the sacred objects in the utensils?"
