Chapter 96: Exquisite Wooden Box
After hearing Yue Ye's words, Mu Sifan suddenly turned red. She hurriedly lowered her head shyly, but her heart felt warm.
After a while, Mu Sifan finished his emotions. She slowly looked up and looked at the exquisite wooden box placed on the table.
Yue Ye was drinking a glass of cold water. At this moment, he saw Mu Sifan's gaze falling on the small wooden box on the table. Yue Ye was full of doubts and couldn't help asking Mu Sifan: "Can the exquisite small wooden box in front of him be the new home prepared for Bufan?"
Mu Sifan ignored Yue Ye, but saw her suddenly opened the secret door of the small wooden box and looked into the wooden box. She saw the little bird Bufan lying in the wooden room specially made for it and slept soundly.
...
This exquisite small wooden box was made by Mu Sifan spent a lot of savings a few days ago and specially invited an old carpenter from Hechi Ancient Town to make a sketch based on the ideas she had conceived.
This small wooden box is ten inches long, five inches wide, and about four inches high. It is painted with colorful patterns such as mountains, rivers, birds and beasts on both sides of the front and back. There are fifteen or sixteen small breathable holes arranged in this pattern very evenly, but these breathable holes are hidden between the paintings. If you don’t observe carefully, it will be difficult to find these small breathable holes.
On the left side of the small wooden box is a small and delicate window. This small window can be pushed open or closed.
As long as you close this small window, you can see clearly the ink painting on the left panel. The pattern clearly depicts the legendary Qilin. The Qilin pattern is vividly painted, and the tiger has its might, as if it was written by everyone.
On the right side of the small wooden box is a secret door that can be pushed up and down. At this moment, the secret door was pulled open by Musfan.
The top cover of the small wooden box is a plate with four corners fixed by tenon corners. The panel of the top cover can be easily pried open with a small tool provided by the craftsman. This design is actually to facilitate the replacement of the cloth pads inside the wooden box in the future.
Next to the cloth pad where the bird was resting and lying, there was a small porcelain cup the size of a wine cup fixed in the place near the secret door, and the cup contained half a glass of water.
At this moment, the bird is sleeping soundly and sweetly, and the sleeping position is very cute.
...
Seeing that the little bird Bufan was sleeping, she didn't want to disturb it to rest, so Musifan immediately pushed the secret door gently, then she stood up, twisted the exquisite small wooden box, slowly walked towards the wooden bed, and then put the wooden box on the head of the bed.
Yue Ye stared at Mu Sifan after doing all this. Seeing Mu Sifan coming towards him, Yue Ye couldn't help asking Mu Sifan again: "Uh... this small wooden box customized for Bufan is indeed very exquisite. Let me guess, um... This wooden box should be made by the old carpenter from the east end of Hechi Ancient Town, and was it made by Old Man Shangguan himself?"
Mu Sifan smiled slightly, sat back to his seat, then nodded to Yueye, and laughed: "Although there are many craftsmen in our Hechi Ancient Town, Is there a second person to make such exquisite wooden objects except Shangguan Carpenter at the east end of the town?"
Yue Ye glanced at the small wooden box that was standing by the bedside, and couldn't help but sigh: "Well... Although this old carpenter Shangguan is good at craftsmanship, if you want to make small items through his hands, they are usually expensive!"
"Well! Brother Ye is right. In order to make this small wooden box, I have been spending all my savings for nearly a year, but the wooden material is still made by myself."
Mu Sifan nodded at Yueye, then let out a long sigh and continued: "But, although it cost me a lot of money to make this small wooden box, it is worth it to give Bufan a comfortable resting environment."
Yue Ye stared at Mu Sifan, nodded in agreement, and then said slowly: "Well! It is appropriate to give some money to Bufan. Uh... I just saw the pattern on this wooden box, which was actually depicted vividly. It should be the granddaughter of Shangguan Old Carpenter. The most wonderful writing in our Hechi Ancient Town was painted by Shangguan Huarong himself?"
Mu Sifan nodded proudly at Yue Ye, and then replied excitedly: "Well! Brother Ye guessed that nothing was wrong. All the patterns on this exquisite wooden box were painted by Sister Huarong's handwriting.
Hehe... I begged Sister Huarong for the whole afternoon, and Sister Huarong nodded helplessly and agreed.
Uh... Later, when Sister Huarong saw that all the money on me was spent on making small wooden boxes, she happily drew pictures for me for free. Well, Sister Huarong is such a good person."
Yue Ye nodded and praised: "Well, Shangguan Huarong not only looks great, but also has kindness and a skill in making a brilliant move. She is the dream lover of countless beautiful men.
Uh... As far as I know, the matchmakers who came to propose marriage were almost trampling on the threshold of their family, but Shangguan Huarong had no idea of getting married. She is still single now and is obsessed with her painting creation all day long."
Mu Sifan nodded in agreement. When Yueye said the last two sentences, a hint of regret suddenly appeared on Mu Sifan's face.
A talented man and beautiful woman!
Although this beauty is alone, she doesn’t know where the talented man is?
...
"Bufan is a rare ancient divine beast in the world. It seems that we are petty when we live in this small wooden box. Uh... But with Shangguan Huarong's wonderful brushwork, this exquisite small wooden box has been upgraded to several levels, so that we can be worthy of the ancient divine beast."
Yue Ye talked to Mu Sifan, but couldn't help but take a few more glances, and the small wooden box placed by the bedside.
When Yueye mentioned the four words "ancient divine beast", he deliberately suppressed his voice very low.
After all, there are ears in the partition walls, so you have to be careful.
Yue Ye and Mu Sifan sat upright in the guest room for a while, and then they heard a sudden sound of slow footsteps outside the door. After a while, the footsteps reached the door of their guest room.
Dong, Dong, Dong...
"Two guests, the food is here."
Accompanied by the slow knock on the door, the waiter's gentle voice suddenly came outside the door. When the waiter said this, he deliberately used the syllable of the last sentence "Let' to make the elder elder.
When Yueye heard the sound, he stood up immediately. He walked to the door in two or three steps and opened the door.
The waiter nodded and greeted Yueye with a smile on his face, and then he put the food box in his hand into the guest room.
"A serving of braised fish,
One serving of spicy chicken,
A plate of fried water spinach,
A plate of fried lotus root slices,
In addition, I gave a stack of peanuts, uh… The shopkeeper said that in order to let the two guests feel at home, I specially presented a pot of sake brewed by our store.”
The waiter smiled and slowly brought out dishes after dishes from the food box. As the waiter called out the name of the dish, these dishes were placed on the table by the waiter in a very regular manner.
Yue Ye stared at the wine pot on the table and looked puzzled. He turned his head and looked at the waiter and said, "Waiter, this sake..."
The waiter smiled at Yue Ye and immediately explained: "This sake is exclusively brewed by our store. The shopkeeper said that the two customers would taste it for free. If you think it tastes good, the store can give you another pot or two. I just hope that the two customers will help us promote it if you have the opportunity."
"Well, so that's it!"
Yue Ye nodded, but saw that Mu Sifan had already picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken into his mouth. He touched his empty stomach, and a feeling of hunger suddenly arose. He couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and started eating and drinking.
The waiter saw Yueye and Mu Sifan enjoying the delicious meal, so he stopped disturbing them and said, "Two guests, the hot water is ready. After a while, the two guests finished their meal. When the young one came up to clean up the dishes, they brought the hot water to the two guests."
The waiter bid farewell to Moonye. After saying this, the waiter went straight out of the guest room and closed the door.
...
The two cleaned up the dishes in the bowl and the sake in the wine pot. After a while, the waiter came into the room with two buckets of hot water.
The waiter cleaned up the empty plates and left with a smile.
Yue Ye looked at Mu Sifan and suddenly whispered: "There is no shame in this room. Brother Ye will go outside and stop for a while. Sifan, you close the door and wash it first. When you finish washing, then change Brother Ye to go in."
When Mu Sifan heard this, her face suddenly turned red, and she nodded gently to Yueye.
...
Although Yue Ye and Mu Sifan were having fun together since childhood, they have grown up now, so they naturally know that there are other reasons for men and women. They don’t care about playing, but at this moment, the lonely man and widowed woman are in the same room, and they suddenly feel shy and inconvenient.
Yueye cursed herself in her heart that in order to save some money, this washing matter was really inconvenient.
But at this moment, the two left their hometown, and Yueye was really worried that Mu Sifan was alone.
Before going out, Yin Qiushui and Mu Bai repeatedly reminded themselves that when Mu Sifan was outside, he had to take good care of her.
If Mu Sifan had any accident, I really didn't know how to face Mu Sifan's parents.
Therefore, Yue Ye chose to stay in the same room with Mussfan. After all, he and Mussfan often lived in the same house when they were young.
...
At this moment, Yue Ye slowly walked out of the guest room and he covered the door.
After a while, Moon Ye heard the sound of Mu Sifan coming to the door.
Yue Ye was walking back and forth outside the door, and only the sound of water falling on the ground in the room was heard.
...
The Kingdom of Chiang, Narong Hills, Ronger City.
In the Fu Mansion dining hall in the south of the city, Meng Zhize sat next to Fu Bing, eating supper quietly.
"Mom, I want to go out for a walk. Uh... Let's go to my father's hometown first, and take a look at Mengjia Village, Yunli Town, Motuocheng!"
Meng Zhize suddenly put down the chopsticks in his hand, stared at Fu Bing, and said with a calm look on his face.
Fu Bi was chewing food in her mouth. After listening to Meng Zhize's words, her body suddenly trembled slightly. After a while, she continued to chew the food in her mouth into her stomach. However, she slowly looked up at Meng Zhize, thought for a moment, and then nodded gently to Meng Zhize.
