Chapter 34 Dragon Mother Wall

 In the old house, the two of them worked together for a hundred years while turning on their digital cameras to carefully select photos of pebbles inlaid. Ying's family is not crowded, the ancestral hall and the old house are not large in area, and only 100 square meters of pebbles can be laid. There are too many patterns and layouts that appear complex.

"The seamen seek peace, and the scholarly family seeks development. The ancestral hall is a model for President Ying's Malaysian ancestral hall. It uses books, mirrors, copper coins as the main patterns, and bottles around it as auxiliary. What do you think?" Jin Huabin picked out a few new photos from the camera, rubbing his face gently against her face.

"No, you have to put pomegranates and lilies on it. How good is it to love you." Zhang Guifang pointed to the picture in the photo, leaned down and said to Jin Huabin.

"Let's be kind and love first, and we will be together for a hundred years." Jin Huabin smiled and put down the camera and said, "You said, it's better to have a few boys and girls?"

"It's not a pig, how many more are there?" Zhang Guifang smiled shyly, and the two rolled into a ball on the bed.

I don't know how long it took, but the two sat up and hugged each other and turned on the camera.

Jin Huabin looked at the patterns in the camera one by one and shook his head and said, "Dear, I always feel that no matter what pattern is embedded, the design is too plain and uncreative. What you can see here can also be seen in other places in Jiangnan. Can you add some interesting designs?"

"What does the interesting pebble inlay mean?" Zhang Guifang asked: "This is not love, it is full of passion."

Jinhuabin gave an example: "When traveling, every adult is a child. They like to have some childlike experiences, such as BJ's Echo Wall, Suzhou's Hidden and Seek Rockery, etc. If we can add similar interesting content to the design, it will definitely attract more tourists to experience it."

"Now the whole nation looks at money. I remember my father once told me when he was drinking, "Taking fists is like counting money. Each number of money has a specific meaning. We can put it in the stone road of the ancestral hall and mark it on the side." Zhang Guifang said while writing down the meaning of different money with a pen: "Single money (one book, one thousand profit); two money, (two fortunes and fortunes); three coins, (the top scholar is in the top score, three yuan in a row); four coins; (four generations are in the same hall, four squares are in great fortune); five coins, (five sons are in the imperial examination); six coins, (six and six great success); seven coins, (seven cleverness is perfect); eight coins, (eight immortals celebrate together); nine coins, (a long-term blessing); ten coins, (one son is full of blessings, and the wealth is booming). Let those who come here guess and recite it will definitely add some fun."

Jin Huabin poured out two small cups of wine from the bottle, handed her a glass and said, "This is a point of knowledge, this is a good idea, and it is worth our remarks."

"Don't drink first, alcohol can be messy, we have to finish the work." She grabbed the wine glass and put it on the table and said, "That's a single idea, it's definitely not eye-catching enough."

"I have a good idea." Jin Huabin thought for a while and said, "I remember seeing such a folk story in a magazine, saying that a temple has a stone slab that can predict the weather. When wet, it means that the weather will turn rain. When dry, it means that the weather is sunny recently. People burn incense and bow to the stone slab. Later, an expert passed by and found that the stone slab was originally used for pickles, and salt was penetrated. The so-called weather forecast was just salt absorbing water."

"By the way, we can choose some stones with better water absorption and soak for ten or half a month. There is an entrance to the entrance of the ancestral hall, where brine pebbles can be inlaid on it to create this effect. The shape can be inlaid into a dragon shape, named Dragon King Wall, and then related folk stories will be compiled. Over time, it will attract a large number of tourists." She added excitedly: "I'll do the pattern design, and you'll make up folk stories."

After thinking for two hours, Jinhuabin wrote a folk story: "In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the Changmao Rebellion began in Guangxi and soon caused disaster to Fujian. In order to avoid the war, Ying family branches entered the sea and entered Zhejiang. More than 20 people entered Zhejiang were led by Ying Guanglong to escape. A strange thing happened. During the escape, there was always a gray-black cloud floating above their heads, saving them from the scorching sun. Every time they passed through a fierce battle, the black clouds would land, forming thick fog, which made the soldiers unable to find them. In this way, after more than a month of walking, after reaching Xianju, the black clouds stopped at Gaoxing. At night, Ying family

All the tribe members had the same dream. In the dream, a dragon told them, "You are safe now and stay here to protect your descendants' health." After that, they flew into the clouds. After waking up, they felt strange, so they stopped here and intermarried with the Wu native of Gaoqian. Feeling that the divine dragon was escorted thousands of miles away, the tribe members built a wall pendant at the entrance of the ancestral hall, which was inlaid with pebbles into a dragon shape and worshiped all seasons. A few years have passed, and the careful villagers noticed that every time the weather changes, special phenomena appear on the wall. The dragon body is wet when the rain is raining, and the dragon body is dry when the sun is sunny. I know that it is the black dragon appearing, so they named it the Dragon King Wall."

After telling this story, Jin Huabin asked proudly: "Look, how is this story? It's legendary enough, what rewards are there?"

Zhang Guifang pointed to his forehead with orchid and said, "Reward you, a big-headed ghost! Look at the picture I designed."

"This is a vanilla dragon. How do you know that the female dragon escorting them?" After looking at the design drawings, Jin Huabin exclaimed: "Do you have the eyes of the sky?"

Zhang Guifang expressed his own idea: "Only the female dragon will care for his people so carefully. The male dragon protected another group of Ying clans who immigrated overseas."

Jin Huabin paused and said, "So, the theme and legendary story of the wall of the Ying Clan Ancestral Hall in Malaysia have been found. The name of this wall should be called the Dragon Mother Wall. Now that the task is completed, it can be filled with three major stories, right?"

"I'll go to the field to pick some vegetables and pick some beans. You go to the garden to grab a chicken. We'll have a big meal later," Zhang Guifang said, standing up and going out in a hurry. When she came back, she saw Jin Huabin still chasing a group of chickens in the courtyard, panting.

"You have to have a skill to catch chickens." She said as she asked him to retreat, took out a handful of corn and sprinkled it on the ground. When she saw the chicken coming to peck at the food, she suddenly reached out. A rooster was pinched before it could react. She twisted her hand and twisted her wings together and couldn't move it down the ground.

"The chicken is done, you can kill it, I'll go wash the vegetables and wash rice." After that, she took the vegetables she had just picked and swayed hard with her hands. After a while, the water flowed out. Jin Huabin was left facing the chicken lying on the ground, not knowing what to do, because since he was a child, he had never killed any of them. Whether he killed chickens or fish, he was all done by his mother when he was at home.
