My life may be different from other teenage girls. I practice kendo one day and karate one day for two days every weekend, and sometimes I have to learn tea ceremony and ikebana. In a traditional family, you don’t have to be a master of tea ceremony and flower arranging, but you have to be familiar with it, because these are often used in gatherings held by each family. In addition, my mother's accomplishments in ikebana are very high and highly respected, so as the heir to the Sakaki family, I always have to work harder than others.
Most of the time, I accept it with great pleasure, because learning things just fills up my not-so-rich life. I only have a few good childhood sweethearts, and I just nodded my head with other people. I know that in the eyes of many people I am very dull, but this kind of worry usually doesn't bother me for long, and I don't have a lot of time to think.
I almost never stop to practice kendo at Sanada's house every week. There is a special and very spacious practice room for us to use. I was very happy when I saw Henichiro, Hiro, and Hiroshi there. Occasionally, Yukimura's brother and Yuriko will come, but here are not only us, but also a few disciples of similar ages. If Uncle Sanada is not available, Brother Yu will act as our'little coach'.
In recent weeks, Uncle Sanada has been dealing with family affairs, so Brother Yu has been addicted to the position of'acting coach'.
Just like now, he pretended to be old-fashioned with his hands on his hips, and said seriously: "This is the end of today's practice, next week..."
I raised my hand in the back row and interrupted him unkindly, "Brother Yu, I want to ask for leave!"
Brother Yu glared at him, and he said unhappily, "What matters to you is that you need to ask for leave~"
"Of course." I sat cross-legged on the tatami and explained to the dull brother Yu: "Don't you know that there will be an ancient cultural art fair next Saturday?"
"Yueyin, you're talking about the art fair hosted by the Xiyuan Temple family, right? I'm going to also go, how about we together?"
The smile that is shallower than Lu Shi makes me feel refreshed like a spring breeze, and immediately makes me look forward to next week's trade fair.
"Hey, I said you two..." Brother Yu coughed for a long time before pulling my attention back, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why do I want to know!"
"Anyway, Brother Yu, I want to ask for leave." Then he asked Xianichiro next to him, "Is Xianichiro going?"
Xuanichiro frowned for a moment and said, "I... have a practice match."
Although I was a little disappointed, Genichiro didn't like these things so much, and I didn't take it to heart. "That's okay."
The Nishionji family is a well-known family of pottery artists, and generations of pottery masters are well-known in Japan. Their family is not only obsessed with pottery, but the collection of other art and antiques is quite famous in Kanagawa. Although this exhibition under the name of the Saienji family is combined with the Kanagawa Museum, more than 70% of the collection is from the Saienji family, so this is a veritable private exhibition of treasures, and not everyone can visit it.
It is said that the exhibits are very rich and many Chinese artworks will be displayed. Although I can't help but criticize the origin of these exhibits, it is good to be able to see Chinese antiques in Japan. The Sakura family did not have close friendship with the Xiyuan Temple family, but it was not difficult to get the invitation letter. Mom and Dad said they would help me ask, but because Bilyshi sent the invitation letter the next day, he gave up.
It’s very reassuring to do anything with Bilys. Every time I have to go to a party with my mother, I often see Bilys at the master’s house and I want to see Bilys the most because he is there. Not at all boring. He often acts as a quiet listener next to his grandmother, and can always express his meaning naturally and clearly without losing elegance. No one dislikes him in family gatherings. Especially, he can always come to my side without being noticed, and occasionally help me cover up the small mistakes made by ignoring diplomatic rhetoric, so that I will not be embarrassed or embarrassed by not being good at socializing.
Beside Bilyshi, there is always a feeling of being taken care of in every possible way. Like this time, he seemed to be more interested in the trade fair than I was. Before visiting, Bi Lu Shi had already mastered the distribution of the exhibits, the hosting features and the visiting process very clearly. I can almost foresee that it will be an interesting visit.
As imagined, many people came to visit. The location is located in the art exhibition hall of the Kanagawa Museum, which is divided into three exhibition areas, which are connected in turn to form a huge circle, enclosing the courtyard in the middle. The overall layout is patchy without losing artistic elegance.
Bilys and I walked through the crowd, feeling the traditional artistic atmosphere. Although the styles of each collection here are quite different, either elegant or delicate or deep, they all have a strong historical color, as if they are quietly remembering and telling a history, a legend or a story, in the orange lantern rhyme. Shining with a charming luster.
Looking at these exhibits is like traveling in time, I am a little fascinated.
"Yueyin, the Chinese exhibits you like are in the east side exhibition area of Hall 2. Do you want to go over now?"
"Okay." Following in the footsteps of Bilyshi, he will not get lost in the exhibition hall of the University of Nuovo.
We went around almost every corner of the exhibition hall. I don’t feel tired at all. On the contrary, the items for sale in the middle of each exhibition area attracted my attention. They all seem to be collectible, and they are all beautiful and exquisite. .
I was a little bit undecided for a while, I thought I should buy a gift back, but if I wanted to buy it, it would be a big project. What should I buy
Bilyshi has been with me all the time. He saw me embarrassed and kindly reminded: "The purpose of this event is to showcase the collections and increase popularity. Sales are not the focus. Most of the items can be bought in the special store of Xiyuanji. Yueyin is so good that you can buy some products from China."
"Really? Then... I want these two dolls, one for Yuriko." I picked up two 20cm-sized Chinese dolls in Chinese clothes and hugged them in my arms.
Bilys always looked at me and smiled, but paid the money before I had time to open the bag, and then took a doll from my hand to hold it for me. A genius remembers Chinese in one second 8/1/z/o/m/
After shopping for a while, I took another fancy to a hairpin and I bought it to give it to my mother, but I hope my father will not be jealous after seeing it.
Bilys looked at his watch and took me to the direction of Exhibition Hall 1. "The event is about to begin."
I am curious: "What activity?"
Bilyshi thought for a while, and said deliberately: "It's a question and answer with prizes."
Bilys’ answer is quite pertinent, but it’s not a simple question and answer with prizes. The organizer will invite a visitor to come up to the stage to answer a question about the pottery of Xiyuan Temple or the exhibits in the exhibition hall. Those who answer it can do so. Get a collection provided by the Xiyuan Temple family.
The collections shown to be presented are very attractive. I am afraid that the question is not easy to answer. Although there are many onlookers, none of them took the initiative to come to the stage.
"I think their problem must be difficult." I quietly said to Lu Shi, and couldn't help but glance at the collection in front of me.
"Wait for me." Bilu Shi smiled slightly, and walked directly onto the stage.
I was surprised to cover my mouth in the audience, and the people around me responded enthusiastically.
The organizer asked: "May I ask which genre Xiyuan Temple pottery was taught, what is its biggest feature, and what is the true essence of pottery that every generation of Xiyuan Temple pottery masters pursues?"
Obviously it is not the same question. I can't answer any of these three questions, although I admire the pottery of Xiyuan Temple. Whispers around are also discussing this question, but Bilyshi on the stage has already answered one by one with his nice voice, and additionally mentioned the origin of the development of Xiyuan Temple’s pottery art, and also mentioned his own views on Xiyuan Temple. Appreciation of pottery.
Bilyshi's answer received warm applause and the organizer was very satisfied, and asked him to choose a collection. He asked me to choose, I shook my head and declined, and he gave me another encouraging look.
I finally chose a pair of seals so that we could be one of us, otherwise it would be too unkind to take home the souvenirs that Bilyshi got home. However, there was an unexpected gain. The staff sincerely told us when packing, "This lady is very discerning and chose a work with the most collection significance."
This pair of seals is very unique, about ten centimeters, not much bigger than a thumb. I don’t know what kind of stone they were carved from, but the white lines are bright red, and there is a lifelike unicorn beast on the top, each placed in a mahogany box covered with red velvet and a groove in the middle. The face of the wooden box is engraved with beautiful and splendid cherry blossoms.
"It's a great gift, I like it very much, thank you." I thanked Bilys happily.
"You like it." Bilyshi looked at me and smiled.
After that, we went back.
On Saturday of the same day, Sanada’s residence was a bit deserted because of the cancellation of kendo practice, and Yuichiro Sanada was still watching TV boredly at noon. It was just that there was no suitable program for him to watch, and he simply closed it directly.
Even when Genichiro was not at home, Yuichiro stood up and decided to go to his brother's room to find a book. Although he largely thought that there would be no interesting books, it would be better if he didn't go around and play around.
Opening the door of Xuanichiro's room, Yuichiro was attracted by Xuanichiro's desk without going to the bookshelf. There were two white envelopes on it. At first he thought excitedly that it might be a love letter, but when he opened it, he realized that it was an invitation letter. The signature was Xiyuan. Temple. However, even though it was not a love letter, he was also interested in what he was holding and muttered to himself: "This kid..."
When Xuanichiro entered the room with a ball bag on his back, he was startled by the figure inside. After seeing it clearly, he asked, "Brother, why are you here?"
Yuichiro watched Genichiro's movements. He was sitting upside down on the chair in front of the desk, leaning against the back of the chair, with his chin resting on his overlapping arms, and asked, "Where have you been?"
Xuanichiro had already put the ball bag in, and his voice was not emotional, "School tennis court."
"That's it—" Yuichiro dragged his voice, faintly smiling, shaking two envelopes in his hand, "What is this then?"
"She said since last week that she wanted to see today's exhibition, but she hadn't received the invitation letter at the time, so..."
"I want to ask my dear brother, when did you get the invitation letter?"
"Last Friday." New 81 Chinese website updated the fastest computer terminal: https:// www.@x81zw @@.com/
When Yuichiro heard this, his anger rose a lot, "Didn't Moontone just ask me for leave last Saturday? What are you doing?"
Genichiro didn't speak, and turned his back to Yuichiro to pack things. In fact, he thought it would be fine as long as she could go. Maybe it didn't matter who was next to him, and he was better at it than Lu Shi.
Yuichiro suddenly felt that he had a serious language communication barrier with Genichiro, but out of strong curiosity he asked, "Where did you get the invitation letter?"
"The fourth grade student of Saiyuanji is a candidate for the tennis club."
This answer surprised Yuichiro and even laughed so hard that he couldn't help but ridicule in the end: "It's rare that you will do fake business for private affairs~"
Genichiro turned around and stared at Yuichiro until Yuichiro turned his eyes away from a guilty conscience before continuing with his hands.
However, from the perspective of the situation, Yuichiro did not intend to leave his brother’s room. He thought for a while, and did not even eat any food, so he pulled Xuanichiro out of the house, still muttering: “Since it’s not easy to get it, don’t waste it. ~"
