"What are these statements?" Lu Zhicheng asked the landlady curiously while remembering it in his mind.
"The two boxes of silk must be made of camphor wood, which means that the two boxes stay together. Naturally, some rich and noble families also use rosewood. But we ordinary people have never seen it. We have always been afraid that only the princes and nobles use rosewood. Ah? Besides, six gold, six silver and eight kinds of fruits are old gifts. Nine jars of wine means long-term, but not every family is like this. If ordinary people can't afford six gold and six silver, there are some. Two gold and two silvers, and I heard that there are also one pound and one silver. What kind of gift should I give to someone on a certain day? I can't force my husband's family to death. The nine jars of wine are also purchased according to the husband's family's conditions. The noble family will naturally pick them up. Poor families also use their own rice wine to buy things. As for silk and eight kinds of fruits, they are indispensable." The landlady kept talking, while adding, "Everything else is fine, the box containing silk and six kinds of fruits are indispensable. The gold and six silvers need to be prepared in advance. What day will your guest come to visit? Do you have time to prepare?"
Lu Zhicheng frowned: "The day after tomorrow."
"I'm afraid it's too late." The landlady shook her head.
In fact, there are many gold and silver shops in the city, as well as finished woodware shops, but Lu Zhicheng's status will naturally not patronize these stores. The proprietress is well-informed and naturally knows that Lu Zhicheng is not a mortal, so she said this.
Lu Zhicheng was also a little irritable, thinking that he should come earlier. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea. Suddenly he looked up at Shi Quan and asked, "I remember before leaving Beijing, did my brother give me a gift?" Less stuff.”
Shi Quan was startled and said hurriedly: "Yes, the eldest son gave me silk and other things."
Lu Zhicheng nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, finally something went well.
"I would also like to trouble you to take me to buy eight kinds of fruits." Lu Zhicheng said to the proprietress and his wife.
"Okay, distinguished guest, just hold on. I promise to take you to the best fruit shop in the city." The couple said cheerfully.
At that moment, Lu Zhicheng went with the proprietress to buy eight kinds of fruits, but Lu Zhicheng found everything rare. He also bought a set of fruits for Liu Changsheng's parents. The Zhou Chi siblings had neither father nor mother since they were young. Now, Liu Changsheng's parents can barely be regarded as the elders of the Zhou family.
That night, the shopkeeper and his wife took Lu Zhicheng to the best wine shop in the city and bought nine bottles of twenty-year-old daughter's red.
Now there were only two boxes of silk and six gold and six silver left. Lu Zhicheng sent Shi Quan and other guards to the city that night to inquire and search. Sure enough, the hard work paid off. Shi Quan was in the Yuelao Temple on the outskirts of the city. I actually found a pair of sandalwood boxes. They looked like top quality and had good origins. It was said that they were left behind by a loving old couple from the previous dynasty. Later, their family donated them to Yuelao Temple, and they became Yuelao Temple. The mascot of the old temple.
When Lu Zhicheng heard about the breakfast, he didn't have time to use it, so he rushed over. It looked really good, both in terms of workmanship and quality. The sandalwood box was also carved with very meaningful patterns on the top and bottom. Engraved on the sides are the words "Stay together" and "Forever tied together", and the four sides are respectively carved with the patterns of "dragon and phoenix in auspiciousness", "mandarin ducks playing in the water", "flying together" and "jointly married".
The more Lu Zhicheng saw it, the more he liked it. He immediately discussed with Yuelao Temple to buy the pair of sandalwood boxes. Yuelao Temple initially disagreed, but after Lu Zhicheng left him 10,000 taels of incense money, he still wanted to buy the pair of sandalwood boxes. The pair of sandalwood boxes were taken away smoothly.
