Iris reached out to touch the hairpin on her head and said with a smile, "it's a light gift and a heavy affection. You are my friend. No matter what you give me, I like it."
Chu Yi also laughed: "if you like it, it's late. It's time for me to go."
"Where are you going?" Iris took Chu Yi's arm and asked.
Chu Yi stretched out his hand and pursed iris's broken hair behind his ear: "I told you before that I came back here to find my mother."
"Ah, I don't remember that either. Where's your mother? " Iris is embarrassed to ask again.
Chu Yi shook his head: "I don't know, but I always find it at the ends of the earth. So I'm here tonight to say goodbye. "
"Are you going to leave for a long time? We just met. " Iris is very reluctant.
Chu Yi said in a soft voice: "all the banquets in the world come to an end. We'll see you again if we have a chance. If not, it may be a farewell. "
A "farewell" seems to put a huge stone on iris's chest, which makes her breathing difficult and her eyes turn red unconsciously.
"Chu Yi, this will not be a farewell. It will not be a farewell. We will see you again."
Chu Yi once again touched the top of iris's head: "well, if I am still alive in the future, I will go to the Ming Palace to find you to drink."
"It's a deal. I'll prepare the best wine and wait for you in the Ming Palace." Iris put her hand around Chu Yi and put her head on his chest, feeling steady and warm.
But the banquet will come to an end, and so will the people who should go.
In the empty room, even Chu Yi's breath dissipated. If it wasn't for the wooden hairpin on her head, iris would wonder if Chu Yi had never been here.
Take down the wooden hairpin, but start to sink. The texture layer by layer is uniform, and the color is very good-looking. The most special thing is that the hairpin will emit a fragrance as clear as honey. When you hold it tightly, the fragrance will dissipate when it is hot. When you loosen it, the fragrance will overflow when it is cold.
Iris was very surprised. After a closer look, she found that there were two tiny characters on the hairpin,
yue'er.
Iris fingers rubbed the two small words, eyes slowly heating up. Chu Yi was really attentive and engraved the names of the two people who called each other when they were young on the hairpin.
Just met a good friend and said goodbye to each other. It's really sad. But iris thinks that huan'er is not the only one in the world who is sincere to herself, and a friend who has no idea is also sincere to herself, so she feels happy.
The next day, huan'er combed iris's hair and combed it. Like a dog, she sniffed East and West: "Miss, what's the smell? It's so fragrant."
Iris took the hairpin out of her sleeve like a baby and showed it to huan'er: "it's this."
Huan'er took the hairpin, sniffed it before putting it on her nose, started to bump it, and looked at the grain carefully. Suddenly, she opened her eyes: "the fragrance of submerged water! Oh, my God, this is more precious than gold. "
Iris is curious: "what is Aquilaria?"? It's a piece of wood. It's more valuable than gold. "
Huan'er shook his head: "Miss, although chenshui incense is a kind of wood, it is extremely rare in the world. It will take decades or even hundreds of years to form a valuable chenshui incense. Today, once the sunken water incense in the world is found, it will be immediately transported to the palace and offered to the emperor as a spice. Only when the powerful ministers get the merit of splashing the sky, they will be rewarded by the king. The ordinary people will never be able to see it, let alone use it. In this way, miss, just think about whether its value is more precious and scarce than gold. "
"God, it's so precious. Isn't my hairpin valuable for gold and silver?" Iris's eyes widened.
"Well, it's very valuable, very, very valuable." Huan'er nodded hard.
Iris was puzzled: "huan'er, since ordinary people have never been able to catch up with or even heard of the fragrance all their lives, how do you know the fragrance which is more precious than gold?"
Huan'er scratched her head: "it's a long story. Would you like to listen to it, miss?"
Iris gave huan'er a white eye: "nonsense, of course I want to hear it."
So huan'er sat on the stool and told iris a story about her childhood.
"When I was eight years old, my father was still on duty in Qingyang County. My father is a learned man. He has a whole room full of books at home. My mother is a very kind person. She will give alms to beggars on the way. It was very cold in winter that year. As the Spring Festival approached, my parents went out to visit relatives and found a mother sitting at my door with her shivering son. The parents were so kind that they took the mother and son home and ordered them to cook ginger soup, hot rice and brand-new cotton padded clothes. The mother, in spite of her coarse clothes, is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. It's a pity that her son has eye disease. His eyes are covered with white cloth and he can't see.
My mother looked at their poor mother and son, and at the end of the new year, she wanted to take them as servants in my family, and then help to ask the doctor to treat her son's eyes. But the mother refused politely. She said she was an ominous person. Her parents died at birth, her husband disappeared later, and now her child has eye disease. She insisted on going for fear of bringing bad luck to our family. My mother gave them some silver to find a place to live and stop wandering around.The mother was very grateful for my parents' kindness, so she gave a wooden bead bracelet to my mother. My mother thought it was the mother who was poor and had no decent jewelry. She could only use wood jewelry. My mother didn't want that mother to accept the bracelet because she was upset by our kindness. When my father came back, my mother told my father that he had gone and showed him the bracelet. My father was shocked when he saw the bracelet. He said that it was not made of ordinary wood, but of water incense, which is worth a lot of money.
My mother was shocked. She and my father never thought that a poor mother and son, with such valuable things on them, were poor and wandering around, and they didn't sell anything to live a rich life. Instead, it was for the sake of gratitude that it was given to us as a gift. As like as two peas, I have seen, touched and smelt the hand string.
Hearing huan'er finish the story, iris sighed: "so you know this thing in this way. Did the government take away the bracelet that mother gave you
Huan'er shook his head: "at that time, my father was very fond of the chenshuixiang bracelet, but he also said with emotion that the gentleman was innocent and held his own guilt. If someone knows that I have this in my house, it will bring disaster. So I don't know what he did with that string. "
"It's missing." Iris feel pity, but also feel lucky: "missing is better than to give to the king when burning spices."
Huan'er saw Chunhong sweeping the floor at the door. After sweeping for a long time, she said in a low voice, "Miss, you should hide this hairpin. Otherwise, if you are missed, you will lose a lot. "
