Pursuing Immortality
Chapter 12: On incense (on)
Zhebai City has a long history. It was established in the 1990s, and a new district has been designated in the past ten years. A grass river as the boundary, Hexi as the old city, the old station, a small hotel, a pedicure shop, a fly house spread out. Hedong is a new city, newly opened buildings, neat commercial streets, beautiful green spaces and government buildings.
Baltic Rover crossed the bridge in a hurry, and after a while, the street suddenly widened, and the buildings in front of it seemed bright. Not long after, the car turned into an alley and stopped slowly.
Gu Gu got out of the car and looked up. This is not a villa, but a small house. The blue bricks and tiles show the eaves, and there are big trees planted in the courtyard.
Although the land price of Zhebai City is not high, the strength of this house is affordable.
"Go in now, grandma is afraid to wait."
Zeng Shufei pressed the electronic lock and shouted, "Grandma, I've invited you here!"
Soon after the utterances, the old lady came out of the room, wearing a blue coat with a blue background, black cloth shoes, gray hair and a hair pin, looking relaxed.
After the brief introduction, the old lady was quite enthusiastic and laughed: "Mr. Gu, if you don't disapprove, I will call you Gu. Come on, please come in!"
"Thank you, Grandma Zeng, you can do anything." Gu Min bowed slightly, half a step behind.
Several people entered the main hall and each took their seats. The nanny had tea. The old lady first said: "Xiao Gu, don't blame me for anything. Yesterday when the fragrant was brought, I smelled it, oh! I can't wait to see the Supreme That's what made them run. "
"You've won the prize. Who am I?"
"It's not an award, it's worthy of being called. Your fragrance is different from what I've seen. Take the liberty to ask, who did you learn the craft from?"
"Heirloom, learned from grandpa."
"Grandpa?"
The old lady was curious and asked, "Is it a local?"
"Uh, don't count, the Phoenix episode that came more than thirty years ago ..."
Gu Gu pickily said that the old lady was kind of sorry, and said, "When your grandpa settled down, I happened to be in the provincial capital. Now that I have fallen leaves and returned to the roots, he ... hey, missed it!"
Grandma Zeng was very kind, just like chatting with a junior. Both of them have a very good sense of proportion, which briefly shows some of their own situations, but not too obtrusive.
姐 The sister and brother were with us, and they talked from time to time. Of course, the main thing was the attitude of grandma.
I chatted for a while, and the old lady asked Gu Ji to go and see her collection.
A few people walked out of the main hall and into a nearby room, he was shocked when he entered the door. The old man really loves incense. There are all kinds of bracelets, Buddha statues, raw wood, incense burners, incense plates, incense spoons, etc. in the house.
Gu Guxiang's practice of making incense is very deep, but limited by economic conditions, he has little knowledge, and he is secretly surprised at this moment.
"This is a lotus copper plate. I liked it at the time, but it didn't make sense when I got it."
"This is Xiangxiangzhu's scented spoon. It is very cleverly designed, and it looks very good as an ornament."
"This is a gourd and jade incense stick, I went somewhere, I saw it very chic, so I bought it."
He looked down, but it was a small gourd with a single scoop. The top and bottom were inlaid with a circle of white jade, and there were small holes on the top to insert incense.
"This is the incense burner of Longquan Kiln in the Song Dynasty. It took a lot of effort to get it ..."
The old lady picked up a celadon incense burner, ice-glazed, clear and round, apparently authentic. She loved the incense burner a lot, and said a little more, and laughed: "After a few days, when the weather is hot, just use Hui'an Shen to match. Hui'an Shen is already cool, and this Longquan kiln is the most suitable ... Yo, you are a connoisseur, I'm still showing off. "
"No, I also met for the first time." Gu Yan busy.
The so-called Hui'an Shen is the agarwood produced by Hui'an. It has a bitter coolness and is very tasteful. This cool fragrance, complemented by the cool Longquan kiln, complements each other.
Aya has never touched it, her eyes are radiant, and her eyes are intent. What level the old lady knows by looking at him, the young man's skill in making incense is superb, and it is worse in other respects.
She did not despise her life, but she explained more and more in detail, and those few treasures were even more so. After a long time, she took everyone back to the main hall.
"Gu, what do you think of my collections?" The old lady asked.
"Admire your old age, it is eye-opening." Gu You sincerely said.
呵 "Oh, I exhausted my efforts for these things."
Grandma Zeng had a bad waist, and she used to lean back when she sat down, sighing with a smile: "Oh, I was exhausted in the first half of my life, and now it's easy to retreat. Since you came into contact with incense, don't say, really I feel more and more quiet in my heart. I have a few old friends who now love this and get together if nothing happens. How do you say that? Oh, I stole it for a long time. Now I have to Smoked it, or you would not be able to sleep well ... Well, I didn't read a book when I was young, but I am old-fashioned and elegant, which makes people laugh. "
"Grandma, you are not called arty, you are elegant! Who stipulates that people can not play incense when they are old?" Zeng Yuewei's mouth thief slipped and she opened her mouth.
"Just, don't talk about you, I'm fine with one, and I feel quite quiet," Zeng Shufei said.
The atmosphere was harmonious for a while, but Gu Gu, with a touch of politeness in politeness, seemed not to agree. Zeng Yuewei was trying to test his standard, and immediately said, "Mr. Gu, you are so good at making incense. I don't know what opinion you have on incense?"
"I have no prejudice. I am a technical worker." He laughed.
"Hearing you is humble, how can you make such a good fragrance, why ..."
"Okay, Vivi, there is nothing to discuss."
The old lady waved her hand to stop, first instructed the nanny to prepare meals, and then said, "Xiao Gu, the meeting is fate today, you have to eat and go."
"Okay, thank you then."
What is Dudu doing? What else can he say?
The nanny was extremely efficient and soon prepared a table for dinner. I didn't add food deliberately, just made a few more dishes according to the original porridge and side dishes. There is nothing to hold on to, the sticks that purr and purr.
After the meal, the old lady unexpectedly bombarded the three of them, leaving Gu Yi alone. The siblings felt very complicated, but they did not dare to disobey them, so they had to leave contact information and leave with care.
Evening, quiet room.
屋 This room is next to the master bedroom, which is very ancient and elegant. There are tables and chairs in the middle, tea melons and fruits on the table, calligraphy and paintings hanging on one side, and a stove on the other side.
Gu Gu sitting at the table, knowing that the other party had some private words to talk about, he drank tea and waited.
Sure enough, when the old lady digested the food, she smiled and said, "Little Gu, leaving you is just talking casually, after all, it is not easy to find someone who understands incense. Weiwei asked you just now, I think you seem to stop talking. Can you tell me, I really want to hear what you think. "
"Uh ... then let me talk, if you don't laugh at you."
When people asked again, there was no other way. He straightened himself and considered: "There are hundreds of incense incenses, which are divided into two categories, one is tasting and the other is medicinal. What you just said should be medicinal incense .Medical incense can really soothe the spirit and promote sleep, but I think it can only be used as an aid and cannot be relied on. "
"Oh? How do you say that?" The other side wondered.
"Modern people incense, mostly seeking meditation and soothe, but meditation is a long process and cannot be done overnight. There are too many annoyances in our lives, so there are so many thoughts. If you want to meditate, you need to clear yourself.
From a certain perspective, we usually have two aspects: one is communication and the other is work.
Communicate with others, or be humble, open your eyes, learn knowledge, and accumulate wisdom. Do things yourself, be serious and responsible, maintain energy, and feel value and fun from it.
With such a life attitude, I will slowly calm myself down. This makes God refreshed and thoughtful.
As for the smoked incense ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ we can be good health and enjoy, but don't become superstitions, it seems that if you do n’t smoke, you do n’t feel comfortable. Those who are disgusting, those who fight all day long, those who are desperate to survive, those who are sentimental and cynical ... They have so many annoyances that they can calm down with a single incense? This is a bit, huh ... "
He said this, shook his head with a smile.
"..."
Grandma Zeng Zeng was surprised first, then thought, and now she looked at this young man with full eyes. Suddenly, she overturned her previous impression: not only was she capable of making incense, but her character was even more amazing!
My family knows her family affairs, even if she retires, but the company's booth, changes in policies, the maintenance of the circle of friends, including sons, grandchildren, granddaughters and other juniors, how can you not worry?
In fact, she understands that it is not quietness to incense herself, but to hide quietly, all she asks is a sustenance.
The old lady had rich experience and felt more deeply about these words. Then she said, "Xiao Gu, I didn't expect you to be young, but you think very transparently. What the ancients said, oh, it ’s dying to hear that it ’s dead ! "
Gu Gu was sweating and busy: "Grandma Zeng, don't make fun of me. You know all these things, but you can't help it."
"..."
As soon as this remark came out, the old man's spirit was so restless that he slammed and rested.
The four words of embarrassment can't help but poke straight into the heart like a knife. For so many years, the son never said it, the grandchildren never said it, but an outsider said it.
感 She was so sad in her heart that she was speechless for a moment. Gu Ye also knew that he was a little embarrassed, held the tea cup a little awkwardly, and sipped with a small mouth.
After a while, the old lady regained her mind, Fang said, "To Xiao Gu, you said that Hong is divided into two categories. What about the other type of product?"
