Chapter 634

Guan Xin looked at him, "why, you told me not to marry my daughter-in-law?"

"Don't, don't, don't," said Tong Pao. He was afraid that he would not marry. Would they be able to get out of Qili Village alive then?

I don't see how many villagers watch the excitement along the way?

My classmate lowered his voice and said, "just think what I said just now is farting. Let's go quickly and don't miss the auspicious hour."

Zhou Erlang ran to his pretending relatives and friends, found several small baskets with some candy in them, handed them to his brothers, and then sent them to the villagers and children along the road.

At this moment, the children went crazy, singing nursery rhymes and running behind them. They kept sending out two miles away until Zhou Erlang had finished sharing all the happy candy in their hands.

Man Bao was very sorry that he couldn't join the fun.

Bai Erlang had already run away with Santou. He chased the sending off team two miles away before he went back with a bag of happy candy.

Bai Shan didn't go to join the fun, and sat down with man Bao in her room. "Grandma knew I was learning chess, so she asked someone to make me a chessboard with good Catalpa wood, but I had to change the chessboard myself. Would you help me“

"Good." Man Bao thinks that Bai Shan will not play chess with Bai Erlang in the future, so she is most likely to use it with him. Naturally, he is willing to make a contribution.

He just saw off his eldest sister. Man Bao was very disappointed. His family was busy and no one played with her. Man Bao followed her to Bai's house.

Bai Shan led her to her yard and said, "the chessboard is still sitting. I just looked at it. Let's choose stones."

There are two baskets in Baishan's yard. People are busy, either trimming flowers and trees or sorting things.

Bai Shan pushed down a basket, poured out a basket of black stones and said, "this is what grandma bought in the county these two days."

The other basket was filled with gray white stones, full of baskets of different shapes and sizes.

Bai Shan pushed it down and poured out the stones inside. He said, "we need to select the right stones to polish them into stones."

Man Bao closed his mouth and asked, "aren't there any ready-made ones in the bookstore?"

"Yes, but the quality is usually poor and expensive." He said, "grandma said that if you want to learn chess, you'd better raise your own chess pieces. Such chess pieces are moist and fall like rhythm. It's very comfortable."

He regretted: "my father used to have a pair of chess. Unfortunately, when the domestic servant went to collect the relics, he lost a lot of things, and the chessboard disappeared."

Otherwise, he can directly use his father's chess.

Man Bao also followed with regret. Looking at the scattered stones, he sighed: "the amount of work is so large."

Bai Shan nodded, "yes, come on, let's pick chess pieces."

"My grandmother said that these stones are good materials for making chess pieces. Although they are messy and strange, they are not cheap."

"Then your family still buys so much?"

"No way, this kind of stone is sold by basket."

Man Bao was curious, "what if you can't pick out a pair of chess pieces from a basket of stones?"

"That only means you are unlucky and can only buy another basket."

Man Bao:... I suddenly feel that selling stones is also a very profitable business. What should I do?

But she looked at the stones in her hand and found that she didn't seem to have seen such stones in the village. No, she hadn't seen them at all, so she broke the idea and threw it behind her.

Man Bao looked at the gray white pieces and the black pieces. He decisively chose to choose the black pieces.

If you want to choose pieces with round shape, mellow shape and moderate size, you have to choose more. Later, Liu will ask the craftsman to cut them well, and then simply polish them.

But for more detailed grinding and stone washing, they need to do it by themselves.

Because chessmen can't be made in a day or two. There are 361 chessmen in a pair. Each one needs to be polished and washed carefully by the craftsman. How long will it take?

Craftsmen have time, but manbao they don't have time.

Moreover, the most important thing in learning go is patience, which is the same as practicing calligraphy, and even more patient than practicing calligraphy.

Bai Shan doesn't know what other families ask, but their chess pieces have always been polished and washed by themselves. It is said that the chess pieces and chessboards of his great grandfather and grandfather are still in the warehouse.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see it and his grandmother didn't give it to him, so he had to polish his own chess pieces.

At first, they squatted on the ground and lowered their heads to pick up stones. Finally, they simply sat on the ground and talked while choosing. It's not boring.

Bai Shan touched a very special stone and asked man Bao with a smile, "do you think this looks like a turtle?"

Man Bao looked up, nodded and said, "like, it's like a mouth here."

Bai Shan put it aside and said, "let the craftsman grind it for us."

Man Bao had an idea, "you can put a pen wash on the desk and put it inside. It must look good."

Bai Shan thinks it's reasonable.

When Zheng came over with a tray, she was seeing two talking happily. She took a look at the falling sun in the sky, quickly handed the tray to the girl, and came forward and said, "are you sitting here this afternoon picking up stones?"

Bai Shanbao looked up and felt his neck a little sour. "Mom, why are you here?"

"Let's see if you are naughty again. Why do you sit under a tree on such a hot day?" Turn around and scold the servant, "if the master is not in this March, even if you are more and more unruly, you don't know to move the stones to the house to pick them up?"

Bai Shanlian hurriedly said, "Mom, I won't let it. The stone is dirty. I don't want to move into the house."

"Then just spread a blanket on the ground. Is your body important or that floor important?"

Man Bao said, "aunt Zheng, we're going to pick it. Anyway, now the sun is going down, and it's not hot at all."

Zheng squatted down, took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her forehead. He said, "it's not hot. It's sweating on your forehead. It's easy for you to keep some white. What if you tan again?"

If Zheng is most satisfied with his son's study in Yizhou City, he turns white when he comes back from a trip. It should be said that all three children turn white.

When they were in Qili Village, as long as they learned, even if they were conscious, they would not help but go out to play every day, go to the fields, in the yard, and run around against the sun.

So even if they are three layers whiter than the children in the same village, they are still black.

But in Yizhou city for three months, the three spent most of their time reading and studying in the house. There were few moments when they could go out crazy against the sun. As soon as they were raised, the three turned white.

Especially man Bao, with a face like yingyu, Zheng couldn't help but pinch it. "The meat is whistling, white and tender. If it's tanned, aunt Zheng's heart hurts."

Bai Shan:... Mom, your son is opposite.
