Chapter 476: To Open Your Eyes (10)(1/2)
Luo Fengtang immediately nodded: "Okay."
The two people quickly entered the shop.
The shop has an antique feel, and the air is filled with the scent of ink.
Yang Ruoqing first asked the shopkeeper for two sets of the Four Treasures of the Study Room.
Then, she asked the shopkeeper about the paper.
"I wanted colored paper that would be a little tougher."
She described her requirements in detail.
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and said: "It's a coincidence that the girl is here. It happened that a merchant brought a batch of colored paper from the south two days ago. Maybe it meets the girl's requirements."
The shopkeeper immediately took out several samples and showed them to Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing's eyes lit up when she saw the colorful papers at first glance.
"Shopkeeper, what are the names of these papers?" she asked.
The shopkeeper said: "The merchant said that this kind of paper is called 'Ten Kinds of Paper'."
"It is said that it was made by Nanmanzi. It is colored with different flower juices. Although the quality is not as good as our rice paper and Songjiang Prefecture Baiyun paper, it does have a different taste."
Yang Ruoqing nodded secretly.
His fingers carefully touched the colored paper under his fingers.
Pink, apricot, dark green, light green, dark green, patina, light cloud...
It’s called ‘Ten Kinds of Barbaric Notes’, and it really lives up to its name.
The only missing color was yellow, which surprised her at first.
Then I felt relieved as soon as I thought about it.
This is an ancient, feudal dynasty with clear hierarchies.
Yellow and purple are two colors that are taboo.
Especially the yellow color, which is a status symbol of the royal family.
Ordinary people dare to touch those taboo colors, unless you give up your head.
"Tangyazi, do you think these colored papers look good?"
She picked up one and asked him.
After he looked at the colorful paper, the girl's face was as bright as a peach and plum.
Nodding: "It looks good, it looks so good!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled with satisfaction, "I think so too, so I'll buy it!"
Facts have proved that this large county has much more complete facilities than Qingshui Town.
Not only were there "Ten Kinds of Wild Paper" from the south, but also "Golden Chestnut Paper" that was circulated from the east.
This kind of paper has a slightly tougher texture than other softer papers.
According to the shopkeeper, at first it was very popular with the monks from the temple to the east who copied scriptures.
Coloring and waxing have a certain effect of preventing moth and moisture, making it easy to store and collect for a long time.
Yang Ruoqing also bought it.
Satisfied, I left the shop.
Luo Fengtang couldn't help but ask her: "Qing'er, why did we buy so many colorful papers?"
It doesn't matter whether it's the old accountant who keeps accounts or Da'an who reads and writes.
None of this paper is of any use!
In response, Yang Ruoqing smiled mysteriously.
"If you buy it, it will naturally have wonderful uses. Please allow me to explain it first. You will understand it then!" she said.
Luo Fengtang smiled and nodded vigorously.
Thinking of something, Yang Ruoqing turned to him and asked him: "By the way, Tangyazi, how did you make the three things you asked Uncle Geng to bring me last time you proposed marriage?"
Egg cake, satin roses, and silver ring inlaid with glass.
Luo Fengtang was startled for a moment, then scratched his head in embarrassment.
"That cake was made by a pastry chef in the town."
"The flowers and the ring were made by me on my own," he said.
When Uncle Geng took him there, his heart was still hanging.
I was afraid that Qing'er would return the box together.
Unexpectedly, she accepted it.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that he was asked about it again, he was a little nervous.
Hearing his answer, Yang Ruoqing became excited.
"What, did you make those flowers and rings yourself?" she asked.
The ring was said to be made by him, but she could still accept it.
His uncle was not only a blacksmith but also a silversmith.
He has been helping pull the bellows since he was a child.
It is not difficult to get a ring.
But, that rose...
"How did you pierce the rose? It's so realistic that I was almost blinded by you at first sight." She asked again.
Luo Fengtang said: "Qing'er, there is something I have to confess to you."
"explain!"
"Those flowers are not roses," he said.
"I don't know what a rose is, but the flower you mentioned looks a bit like the rose in the mountains."
"I made it like a rose flower..."
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled.
"What did you think it was, but it turned out to be this."
"It's okay, roses are more beautiful than roses!" she said.
"Do you really think so?" he asked in surprise.
She nodded.
"Then if you were asked to take pictures of hibiscus, peonies, etc., would you be able to do it?" she asked again.
Luo Fengtang thought for a moment and said truthfully: "I don't know. You have to try it before you know."
Yang Ruoqing snapped her fingers: "I'll give you this chance to try later!"
"The ring is inlaid with colored glaze, right? Where did you get it?" she asked again.
Luo Fengtang said: "I got it from a jewelry shop in town."
Yang Ruoqing nodded.
She was thinking about whether to get a large piece of colored glaze.
Lay it on that table to make a modern rotating glass dining table?
But then she rejected her idea.
The colored glaze of ancient times is no better than modern glass.
Very brittle and brittle.
It simply cannot be used to support a dining table like modern glass.
but--
Lamps used for lighting are good decorations.
"Tangyazi, let's go find a shop where we can buy colored glaze!"
I ordered a batch of colored glaze and paid a deposit.
Leave a shipping address.
The two of them came out of the shop satisfied.
"Qing'er, do we want to buy anything else?" Luo Fengtang asked.
To be continued...
