Chapter 457: Vigilance
"Childe, have you seen it?" Uncle Gui was really surprised, "Uh, no, I mean Childe, you have seen such a bamboo fan before?" But the handfuls he got back were different, and most of the people who saw them for the first time thought they were made of silk brocade and other fabrics, and they didn't think about bamboo at all.
Zhiruo shook his head and said honestly: "I haven't seen it, but there is a faint bamboo fragrance, and it feels cool when you touch it." If she hadn't heard of it and was looking for the person who was weaving the bamboo fan, there was really no way to be sure that it was a bamboo fan based on these two points alone, and it really didn't look like it. She is an amateur, and she can't imagine that she can weave a fan with such a delicate texture and lustrous texture from bamboo.
"The first time I got this kind of fan, I also felt very comfortable with the warm and cool touch," Uncle Gui smiled, "But I don't have your keenness, I was still wondering what kind of new fabric it was, and I wanted to get a few horses to let the needlework try to make a new style." As for the bamboo incense, I thought it was smoked, hahahaha. Not only is he clumsy, but many people are like him, so he said that he found a baby, and it just so happened that the son came in time, and the sooner such a good thing was done, the better, so as not to be the first to be caught in the long night.
"Although Qiu Niangzi has been making bamboo fans for many years, it is only recently that she has started to weave this kind of finely crafted bamboo silk fan," Uncle Gui continued, "I only sold a few and I found out, hehe." ”
"Qiu Niangzi?" Zhiruo found that he felt a little timid about his hometown, and secretly laughed at himself, "It's really hypocritical!"
"Yes, it's the Qiu Niangzi who made these bamboo fans," Uncle Gui nodded, "Childe, you can't think of it, Qiu Niangzi is still a blind person, tsk, this one without a pattern is okay, it can be said that practice makes perfect, but these two are patterned." Look, this peony flower looks like it's real? And these butterflies, it's almost flying. ”
Blindness, lady, if she raised her eyebrows, what did she mean that it didn't take any effort? That's it! She felt that her coming out this time was an explosion of character.
"Even a craftsman with normal eyes, it is not easy to make a bamboo fan so exquisite," Zhiruo sincerely sighed, "Does Uncle Gui want to cooperate with this Qiu Niangzi? Will she agree? What conditions?" She didn't know if her blind mother-in-law had cooperated with others in her previous life. However, no matter what, just by virtue of your uncle's insight and ability to immediately think of cooperation, Zhiruo is extremely proud, Qi Mubai's subordinates are all strong generals!
"We've talked about it for a while, but we still need your confirmation. Uncle Gui took a sip of tea, and said in detail, "Qiu Niangzi's weaving fan skills are recognized within a radius of hundreds of miles, and she has not launched this kind of bamboo silk fan before, and she is worried about her guilt." It's just that her daughter is about to give birth, and her son-in-law has no news, and the life of orphans and widows depends on her craft, and she has to plan to save more family business. ”
Willing to cooperate, such a cautious and thoughtful person as Uncle Gui will naturally not only look at Qiu Niangzi's craftsmanship, after some clear and secret visits, Qiu Niangzi's life, experience, relatives and friends, he can find out almost all of them, this time carefully Qiu Niangzi's mother and daughter in Linzhou Mansion in the past five or six years, as well as the situation of her daughter Qiu Nianzu, son-in-law Cheng Mingfeng, and the recent rumors about Cheng Mingfeng.
"Cheng Mingfeng?" Zhiruo, who had just been shocked by the news that the blind mother-in-law had a daughter, was directly stunned, such a familiar name, I just heard it not long ago, is it such a coincidence?
Luoshuang likes to pay attention to coincidences the most: "Cheng Mingfeng? This year's new science and technology jinshi, I heard that he is now the prince's fellow disciple, the quasi-son-in-law of the Yasukuni Mansion, and the prince's quasi-brother-in-law, won't they have the same name and surname? Hehe, we should inquire whether the new science and technology scholar Cheng Mingfeng went out of Linzhou Mansion." However, it is said that Cheng Jinshi was relied on after being calculated by his daughter-in-law, and the orphan and widow forced her to be a door-to-door son-in-law, and people were very aggrieved by this family matter. Also, a man with a little ability will not be a door-to-door son-in-law, let alone a new science and technology jinshi with the title of the gold list. ”
"Phew, it's really shameless! Spent so much money on other people's families, so that people can afford to take the Jinshi exam, and they are still wronged? It's really unancient! In this way, it should be this person," Uncle Gui's tone was two more points of resentment, he had met the Qiu mother and daughter twice, and he was also an acquaintance, and under normal circumstances, people always sympathized with the weak, "But I think the Qiu mother and daughter seem to be prepared." If it is really related to the crown prince and the Yasukuni Mansion, there is really no way for orphans and widows. ”
His previous master family was in the capital, so he stayed in the capital for more than ten years, and he took care of the business for the master family and dealt with him outside all day long...... At least one or two cases? Remembering the old feelings or degrading the wife to a concubine for the original partner and the plot, and secretly creating an accident for the wife of the chaff, most of them still find excuses to divorce their wives. Of course, the reason must be that the woman is not good, unfilial, vicious disease, childlessness, and even ...... Sensuality.
Luoshuang had a look of realization: "Their mother and daughter are suspicious and prepared, so Qiu Niangzi decided to take out a unique job to earn more silver, otherwise when she is old in the future, how can a family of three old and weak women and children live? ”
"Exactly," the noble uncle quipped approvingly, "who said that our frost girls are better at using their hands than their brains? Look at this analysis, the head is the way! Qiu Niangzi is not hypocritical, she herself said so, so there is really no lion mouth that I was worried about before." ”
"Uncle Gui, in your opinion, what kind of person is Qiu Niangzi?" Zhiruo suddenly asked, "Based on your intuition." ”
"Intuition?" said Uncle Gui after thinking for a moment, "He doesn't talk much, he speaks directly and briefly, and he doesn't smile, uh, it seems that most of the women who have been widowed for many years are like this, hehe." ”
"But," continued the uncle, "a widow, or a blind widow, who raised her daughter alone, I at first thought that she must be very shrewd, in addition to her great skill. But after some conversation, I found that she was really not as pungent and shrewd as I imagined, and of course, it was not easy to calculate. Oh yes, they have two big wolf dogs, and they are very fierce, and ordinary people really don't dare to approach. ”
"Besides," Uncle Gui frowned and thought again, "Be alert, very alert, although it is said that the ears of the generally blind are very good, but for some reason, I just think that Qiu Niangzi is particularly sensitive to the wind and grass." If there was one brick missing from her yard, she would probably notice it quickly. ”
