"No, no." Old Master Lian waved his hand quickly, "I'm just here, just take a look."

"Oh, old man, you always said you wanted to buy it." The stall owner who bought the wood said, "Tell you, you always like these two pieces. If you always buy it now, you will have to buy it when you are always strolling and come back. You must have to let someone else buy it. You have figured out that such wood, let alone the entire Qingyang Town market, even our entire county, is nothing better than this."

Old Master Lian's eyes couldn't help but fall on the pile of wood behind the stall owner, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

Lian Shouxin is not a fool. He just now was too eager to deny it, and now he showed such an expression, so he naturally guessed the truth of the matter.

"Dad, what wood do you want to buy? What are you planning to do?" Lian Shouxin asked Mr. Lian.

"It's nothing." The old man said insincerely.

The stall owner was very clever, so he opened his body sideways and pointed at the two boards behind him to Lian Shouxin.

"The old man has vision, so he has taken a fancy to these two pieces as soon as he comes." The wood stall owner told Lian Shouxin.

Lian Man'er also looked in the direction of the stall owner's finger. The disease was not a raw wood, but two huge wooden doors. The wooden door was obviously a bit mottled, revealing the texture of the wood inside. Lian Man'er was not an expert in wood, but Zhang Qingshan helped her build a house, so she also had some understanding of ordinary wood.

These two door panels are fruit pine produced in Liaodong Prefecture. The wood has a straight texture and looks at least a hundred years old from the annual rings. The fruit pine is rotten and easy to paint, and is a very popular precious wood in Liaodong Prefecture. Moreover, the door panel has been carefully processed, and the board is very dry, but there are no cracks or other defects. The thickness of the wooden board is visually estimated to be at least two inches.

The wood stall owner was already introducing the origin of these two door panels to Lian Shouxin, saying that they were two door panels from a wealthy family in the neighboring county. Because the family was really poor, Dangdang made a living, so he also used these two door panels. Such door panels were only available for wealthy families, and those with tight doors could even resist small beards. Ordinary families had no property to be remembered, so they could just make a wooden fence door.

"Dad, what do you want to buy this door panel?" Lian Shouxin asked, "I'm here to drive the car. You always like it. Let's take your hands back in the moment."

Seeing that when Mr. Lian said this, he thought about it and told Lian Shouxin the truth.

"...I want to prepare a pair of longevity materials..." Mr. Lian told Lian Shouxin.

"Old man, this is your opinion." The wood stall owner gave a thumbs up, "If you want to say that these two boards are wasted materials, it is the most suitable to make longevity materials.

Life and death are a major event, in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, death is even more important than birth. In the family of the village households, who live a poor and frugal life, they may not give the child three or a full month, but they are selling their money and they must give the deceased elderly as beautiful as possible to make the funeral beautiful.

The top priority of doing funerals is a good coffin.

Perhaps because they firmly believe that there is a world after death, and that world after death is depicted very detailedly, the people of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to die. As long as they have the conditions, most of them would prepare a good coffin for themselves before their lives. Those richer and more powerful people often prepare not only coffins in advance. For example, those emperors, some even started to build mausoleums for themselves as soon as they ascend to the throne.

The coffin is a person's last habitat. It seems that there is a good coffin that is suitable. Knowing that there is a good place to sleep after death, they no longer fear death.

Although she could not fully understand it, Lian Man'er knew very well the importance of a coffin in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty. She even saw such an example in history books. In a tragic battle, because the general promised to prepare a coffin for every soldier who died on the battlefield. In that battle, his soldiers burst out with endless potential and were not afraid of death.

Mr. Lian worked hard all his life. He used to be a good-spirited person and thought he was in good health and was not old. In addition, he devoted himself to supporting Lian Shouren and Lian Ji's grandfather and son, so he didn't care about this. Of course, at that time, Mr. Lian might have wanted to wait for Lian Shouren to shine on his family and choose a pair of longevity materials that suits his identity. Later, those things happened at home one after another, and Mr. Lian didn't care about this.

Now, the old man looked at the wooden board alone and planned to prepare the coffin. What would he think about it?

Thinking of Mr. Lian was a little sad when he thought of his possible mood now.

Lian Man'er was even sighing, and Lian Shouxin's mood became even more complicated at this moment.

"Dad, if you have a good opinion, then buy it. If you want to kill a coffin, I'll ask someone for you." Lian Shouxin said this, then brought people forward and checked the two door panels over and over again.

"It's okay." After checking, Lian Shouxin was very satisfied with these two door panels.

"Dad, then these two pieces?" Lian Shouxin asked Mr. Lian again.

"Just these two pieces." Old Master Lian lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally nodded. He really liked these two boards as soon as he entered the wood market.

Such well-treated wooden boards have been dry for a long time. If there are defects, it is easy to see them. But there are no defects now, which means that there will be no phenomenon after cracking in the future. Such old templates are better than those new woods.

When the old man Lian nodded, Lian Shuixin took a step back and whispered to discuss with Lian Man'er.

"Man'er, let's buy this wooden board for yours."

"Yeah." Lian Man'er nodded without hesitation, "Dad, let's just take care of the coffin. If my brother is here, that's the same thing."

Even Shouxin nodded with relief. Whether it was his wife Zhang or these children, his heart was as soft and kind as him.

Lian Shouxin stepped forward and discussed the price of the two door panels with the wood stall owner.

"...One piece is eight or three cents of silver. If you always want both pieces, you will always remove the fractions. If you always give me sixteen or sixteen taels of silver, you will always take away these two boards." The stall owner smiled and said, "What I told the old man just now is this price. You always understand it when you see it. This is to make a door panel. Otherwise, just two pieces of wood, the price will double, and you may not be able to buy it. If you buy it back, you will make a profit."

Although what the stall owner said was a little exaggerated, it was not a function word. If two such boards were not moved, the price would be more than 40 taels.

"Okay, I'll buy it." Even Shouxin didn't bargain with the stall owner, and agreed happily.

"You are always happy, this uncle." The stall owner smiled when he saw the buyer so happy.

"Don't, the fourth brother, this is too expensive." Mr. Lian hurriedly reached out and stopped Lian Shouxin and said. Two pieces of boards cost ten taels of silver, and then they would have to spend more money on the coffin. For ordinary households, it is a bit over the cost of spending so much money on a coffin.

"Dad, don't you always like this board? That's all." Lian Shouxin said earnestly, then he called the person who followed him to come and move the board, and asked the manager Han Zhong to come forward to pay.

"Fourth brother, this is not enough, I'm lucky. I can't use such a good plan." Old Master Lian said hurriedly. Seeing that Lian Shouxin still insisted, he gave in and said, "You must buy it, just buy one piece."

Such a thick wooden board, just buying one piece to cut it, is enough to make a good coffin.

"Dad, you just need to take a fancy to it. Leave everything else to me." Lian Shouxin said, "You have been working hard all your life, and I still feel wronged."

"Hey, then buy it." Even the old man actually really cares about these two boards, "But you don't have to pay for this. I've prepared the money for this longevity material, and there are still extras."

All the expenses and inputs of the old house were in Lian Man'er's mind. She knew that even the old man and Zhou now had at least twenty taels of silver.

"Master, you always keep your money and spend it slowly with my breasts. We will give you this longevity material for you." Lian Man'er said, "Two days ago, my father, my mother and my brother discussed that he would choose a good longevity material for you. Today, there is a board you always like, and my brother is here, so he has to do this."

"This is my son, grandson prepares longevity materials for me. This is what it should be. Old man, you are so lucky. When you see that you are always lucky, you will be lucky." The wood stall owner smiled.

"Master, my mother also bought cloth. Let me go to you Lao Song later." Lian Man'er said again.

Not only the coffin, but also the clothes for the burial, and the clothes for the burial must be prepared in advance. The coffin has been released, and of course Lian Man'er doesn't care about making a few more pieces of cloth.

"Okay, okay." Old Master Lian's voice was a little choked. He turned his head away, not wanting his children and grandchildren to see that his eyes were already filled with tears.

Lian Shouxin paid for the wooden board, then put the pre-ordered jujube and firewood into the car, and asked Mr. Lian and him to take a car back to Sanshiliyingzi.

When they arrived at Sanshiliyingzi, Lian Man'er went home directly, while Lian Shouxin sent Mr. Lian and Muban to the old house.

When he got home, Lian Man'er told Zhang and Goro about buying wood.

Both Zhang and Goro nodded and said that this matter was done well.

"My master went to see the coffin board alone, hey..." Goro frowned slightly.

"The old house is not allowed to continue. He is embarrassed to find your father and your third uncle. What's the solution?" Zhang said, "Man'er promised his grandfather's clothes and we will give it. I'll pick a few pieces of cloth and send it to you later."

Zhang was very neat in his work. After a while, he picked two pieces of white cloth and two pieces of green satin. The mother and the other ones were watching Satin talk, and Lian Shouxin walked back from outside.

As the end of the month approaches, please be pink.
