In the old house, the two of them were taking pictures together for a century while turning on their digital cameras and carefully selecting photos inlaid with pebbles. The Ying family was not prosperous, and the area of the ancestral hall and the old house was not large. The area that could be paved with pebbles was only 100 square meters.
rice, too many patterns embedded in it make the layout look complicated.
"Haike seeks peace, and scholarly families seek prosperity. This ancestral hall is built as a model for President Ying's Malaysian ancestral hall. It uses books, mirrors, and copper coins as the main patterns, and bottles are placed around it as supplements. What do you think?
"Jin Huabin picked out some newly taken photos in the camera and rubbed his face against hers gently.
"No, we have to put pomegranates and lilies, how wonderful it is to be in love with each other." Zhang Guifang pointed to the picture on the photo, leaned down and said to Jin Huabin.
"We fell in love with each other first, and we have been together for a hundred years." Jin Huabin smiled, put down the camera and said: "Do you think it would be better for us to have several boys and several girls?"
"It's not a pig, there are still a few of them." Zhang Guifang smiled shyly, and the two rolled into a ball on the bed.
After an unknown amount of time, the two sat up, hugged each other and turned on the camera.
Jin Huabin looked at the patterns in the camera one by one and shook his head and said: "Dear, I always feel that no matter what pattern is inlaid, this design is too plain and uncreative. What you can see here is from Jiangnan."
It can also be seen in other places, can you add some interesting designs?"
"What does the interesting pebble inlay refer to?" Zhang Guifang asked: "This is not love, it is full of passion."
Jin Huabin gave an example: "When traveling, every adult is a child, and they like to have some childlike experiences. Such as BJ's echo wall, Suzhou's peek-a-boo rockery, etc. If we can design
Adding similar interesting content will definitely attract more tourists to come and experience it.”
"Nowadays, all the people care about money. I remember my father once said to me when he was drinking. Counting money is like counting money. Each money number has a specific meaning. We can put it on the gravel path entering the ancestral hall and put it on the side.
Mark the meaning on it." Zhang Guifang wrote down the meanings of different money as she spoke: "Single money (one hundred thousand profits); double money, (both fortune and fortune); three money, (number one scholar, winning three yuan in a row); four money;
(Four generations live under one roof, four stipends bring great profits); Five coins, (Five sons are admitted to the imperial examination); Six coins, (Six or six great fortunes); Seven coins, (Seven clever things make the family rich); Eight coins, (Eight Immortals celebrate together); Nine coins
Money means (long-lasting blessings); ten coins means (perfection). More money means (more children, more blessings, lots of money). Let people who come here guess and memorize it, it will definitely add some fun."<

Jin Huabin poured out two small cups of wine from the bottle, handed her a glass and said: "This is a knowledge point. This is a good idea, and it is worthy of our enlightenment."
"Don't drink yet. Drinking can cause sexual incest. We have to finish the work." She grabbed the wine glass and put it on the table and said, "This idea alone is definitely not eye-catching enough."
"I have a good idea." Jin Huabin thought for a while and said, "I remember seeing such a folk story in a magazine. It said that there is a stone slab in a temple that can predict the weather. When it is wet, it means that the weather will turn rainy, and when it is dry, it means that the weather will turn rainy.
It was said that the weather had been fine recently, and people often burned incense and bowed in front of the stone slab. Later, an expert passed by and discovered that the stone slab was originally used for pickles, and it was soaked with salt brine. The so-called weather forecast was just that salt absorbs water."
"By the way, we can choose some stones with better water absorption and soak them for ten days and a half. There is a porch at the entrance of the ancestral hall. We can inlay pebbles soaked in brine on it to create this effect. The shape can be inlaid in the shape of a dragon.
, name it Dragon King Wall, and make up related folk stories. Over time, we will definitely attract a large number of tourists." She added excitedly: "I will do the pattern design, and you will make up the folk stories."
After pondering for two hours, Jin Huabin wrote a folk tale: "In the late Qing Dynasty, the Changmao Rebellion began in Guangxi and soon spread to Fujian. In order to avoid the war, one branch of the Ying family entered the sea and the other went to Zhejiang.
More than 20 people from the Zhejiang branch were led by Ying Guanglong to escape. A strange thing happened. During the escape, there was always a gray-black cloud layer floating above their heads, which protected them from the scorching sun. Every time they passed through a place where the fighting was fierce,
, the black clouds would fall down and form thick fog, making it impossible for the soldiers to detect them. In this way, after more than a month of walking, after arriving at Xianju, the black clouds stopped at Gaoqian. At night, all the Ying clan members did their best.
A similar dream. In the dream, a dragon said to them, you are safe now. Stay here to ensure the health of your descendants. After saying that, it flew into the clouds. When the tribe woke up, they felt strange, so they stopped here and
Intermarriage with Gaoqian aboriginal people surnamed Wu. Impressed by the dragon escorting them thousands of miles, the tribesmen built a wall-shaped entrance hall at the entrance of the ancestral hall, with pebbles inlaid in the shape of a dragon, and offered sacrifices at all times. A few years later, attentive villagers noticed that
Whenever the weather changes, special phenomena will appear on the wall. When it rains, the dragon's body is wet, and when it is sunny, the dragon's body becomes dry. It is known that the black dragon appears, so it is named Dragon King Wall."
After telling the story, Jin Huabin asked proudly: "Look, how is this story? It's legendary enough. What's the reward?"
Zhang Guifang pointed at his forehead with an orchid and said, "I'll reward you for being a big-headed devil! Take a look at the picture I designed."
"This is a vanilla dragon. How do you know that the dragon escorting them is a female dragon?" Looking at the design, Jin Huabin exclaimed: "Do you have an eye to the sky?"
Zhang Guifang expressed her idea and said: "Only a female dragon can protect her people so carefully. The male dragon went to protect another group of Ying clan members who immigrated overseas."
Jin Huabin paused and said: "So, the theme and legendary story of the wall photo of Ying's Ancestral Hall in Malaysia is already there. The name of this wall should be called Dragon Mother Wall. Now that it is done, can we reveal the three big things?"
”
"I'll go to the ground to dig some vegetables and pick some beans. You go to the garden to catch a chicken, and we'll have a big dinner later," Zhang Guifang said as she stood up and went out in a hurry. When she came back, she saw
Jin Huabin was still chasing a group of chickens and jumping around in the courtyard, panting.
"You have to have skills to catch chickens." She told him to step back, took out a handful of corn and sprinkled it on the ground. Seeing the chickens coming to peck at it, she suddenly stretched out her hand. Before a rooster could react, its neck was pinched, and her hands were twisted.
, the two wings were twisted together and placed on the ground motionless.
"The chicken is done, you come and kill it, I'll wash the vegetables and wash the rice." After saying that, she took the freshly cooked vegetables to the water pump, shook it vigorously with her hand, and after a while, the water flowed out.
. Jin Huabin was left facing the chicken lying on the ground, not knowing what to do, because he had never killed anything since he was a child. Whether he killed chickens or fish, his mother did it at home.
