There was no table in Mingmei's apartment for him to place Dolls' Day dolls, so he had no choice but to run downstairs and go to the nearest store to buy some.

There were fifteen humanoid dolls in total, which were seven levels in size. Mingmei specifically asked him not to buy too many. As a Japanese, she, like most Japanese, likes to think of odd numbers like 1, 3, 5, and 7 as...

Lucky number.

When Guangyou bought these tables, he looked at the price of the dolls. He was also shocked by the price of the dolls.

Originally, he only knew that they were expensive, but he didn't expect that most of the prices for such a set of Dolls' Festival dolls ranged from 150,000 yen to 500,000 yen, and the expensive ones even cost millions of yen...

Guangyou also sighed as he walked back: "It's such a waste of money. Xiao'ai's parents were really willing to spend money back then."

To this day, although many families celebrate Daughter's Day for their daughters, they only buy the top two dolls of the emperor and the queen, and only put them on a stage.

Even if both parents share the cost of buying dolls, sometimes because the children are too young, they will not buy any particularly good dolls. Instead, they will buy more and more every year.

Of course, these are all what Guangyou heard from the aunts in the store.

There was a video about the process of making hand-made dolls in the store just now, and he stopped in front and watched the entire accelerated version.

Thinking of what was in the video just now, Guangyou comforted himself: "But they are all handmade, and the price is not bad."

....

"I'm back."

Guangyou returned to Mingmei's apartment with the ready-to-assemble table, put the table down, dusted off the dust on his hands, and started assembling it. After all, time waits for no one, and Xiao Ai will probably arrive soon.

"Sister Mingmei, I bought the table, what about you? The doll shouldn't be broken, right? If it is, I can still buy one in time."

Mingmei was checking the damage to the doll at this time.

She put down a doll, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's well preserved, with no signs of damage. Maybe this thing can be passed down."

"Pass it on?"

While Guangyou was assembling the table, he asked curiously, "Can this thing be used as a family heirloom?"

Mingmei nodded and explained very patiently: "Yes, these things can be passed on to the next generation, and they are also one of the dowries of many girls. Many dolls in the homes of famous nobles in the past are even hundreds of years old.

"

Guangyou was also a little surprised and complained: "I guess it would cost tens of millions of yen to buy it."

"You want to buy it, but it's still not for sale."

Minmei whitened her eyes, and after taking a short rest, she stood up and helped assemble the table together, explaining, "This thing is basically given by elders to female juniors as a birth gift."

"There are even hundreds of dolls in a set in the homes of famous aristocrats. The display is quite spectacular, and they are even designated as special cultural relics by the country. This value cannot be measured with money."

This is the first time Guangyou has heard of this statement. Thinking about it carefully, it sounds like there are cultural relics at home.

He asked: "It should be more than that simple. I guess this doll also represents the social status and economic situation of their family at that time, which is equivalent to the family card?"

"You're absolutely right."

Mingmei glanced at Guangyou with appreciation and nodded, "So even if you pay hundreds of millions of yen, those people probably won't sell it. After all, at that level, they are no longer short of money. If you change the unit

I think they will consider it if it costs US dollars."

"That doesn't exist. With that kind of money, I might as well buy a house, make investments, and then travel around the world with Xiao Ai. That would be great."

After finishing his rant, Guangyou turned his head to look at Mingmei and asked, "Speaking of which, sister Mingmei, have you ever celebrated Women's Day before?"

"My parents prepared these dolls for me. Of course I had them when I was a child. Originally, they had to prepare them when Shiho was born, but something happened later."

Mingmei seemed very relaxed when she said these words, as if she was afraid that Guangyou would think too much. After she finished her last sentence, she quickly added, "Don't say sorry, this matter has been in the past for a long time, and they don't want to see it."

Shiho and I have never been able to get out."

"Yes, to be honest, sister Mingmei, you can face this kind of thing so calmly, I admire you very much."

Guangyou has also seen people who were unable to escape because of similar things. This was the case with one of his former "colleagues".

She also experienced something similar to what happened to the two sisters, and she could only rely on crazy tasks to stop herself from thinking about those things.

So much so that in the end she seemed to have given up on the emotions that people should have, and she did not come out of the shadows until her death.

In the end, she died in the mission, and the second person to take over the mission was Guangyou, her only friend.

"Humans, after all, you have to look forward, or else let alone move forward, it would be better if you don't retreat."

With a faint smile on her face, Mingmei stood up, clapped her hands, and said, "The stage is set up, now let's start placing the puppets."

"good."

Guangyou also stood up, picked up a doll, helped Mingmei place it, and said, "I should be able to finish setting it up before Xiao Ai comes, and then I'll take a bath."

On the top floor are the two wrapped dolls, the so-called emperor and queen. According to the rules in Tokyo, the male is on the right and the female is on the left.

Next, there are three palace maids on the second floor. Of course, these three dolls are not just ordinary waiters. Each of these three characters can recite poems, compose poems, and play various musical instruments. Now they can be in the entertainment industry.

A shining star.

The third level is composed of five people (za), whose main function is to play music, and their status cannot be underestimated.

On the fourth floor are the left minister and the right minister, the elder is on the left and the younger is on the right. Both of them carry swords and bows and arrows.

The fifth floor is for servants, named "Shanghu", which are respectively Weeping Shanghu, Smiling Shanghu and Angry Shanghu.

The humanoid dolls end on the fifth floor, and the remaining two floors are props, each of which has its own meaning, such as hoping that the girl will be free from illness, health and happiness in the future.

Of course, Mingmei gave him this knowledge when he was putting it up. Guangyou himself had no idea what it meant and how to place it.

With Mingmei's help, Guangyou quickly placed the dolls in their proper places.

To be honest, these toys really didn't fit his aesthetic taste. The pale-skinned dolls even looked a little frightening to him.

If it weren't for Xiao Ai, Guangyou wouldn't be too lazy to display these things.

"Well, it looks good."

Mingmei stood up and clapped her hands, looked at the finished products, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, this is Shiho's first time celebrating Girls' Day. She has never even touched a doll before."

"I hope she likes it."

Guangyou stood up, exhaled, and said to Mingmei, "Sister Mingmei, I'm going to take a shower first. I remember that I have my change of clothes here, right?"

Mingmei nodded, raised her eyebrows, and joked: "The outfit you came last time is still there, and Shiho specially prepared one or two sets of your clothes here before."

But the doorbell that suddenly rang at this moment directly interrupted their plans.
