Because Qi Runyun was the first time to go out, Lingbao and they all insisted that their young monarch had better go to the nearby market first, but Qi Runyun felt that there was nothing to buy, and it was not a woman, did she still have to pick rouge gouache and silk satin, and finally compromised and went to Gongguxiang, where there were more bookstores.

Listening to Si Nian's concise introduction to the types of books that each bookstore focuses on, Qi Runyun was a little surprised at his familiarity with these situations, and only after asking did he know that Si Nian used to be in charge of the study room with Song Qingyi.

Qi Runyun thought that Song Qingyi had sent a small servant over casually, but he didn't expect that it was his own original side. But he didn't say much, just kept it in his heart.

According to Si Nian's introduction, Qi Runyun asked the coachman to go to the one with more travelogues and miscellaneous books.

Because of the small study room that Song Qingyi prepared for him, except for the books he brought back from home when he returned to Ningning, he didn't have time to buy anything else, and this time, Qi Runyun also had the heart to add more books.

Originally, Qi Runyun was quiet, and in addition to practicing the craft of pinching molds in a single courtyard for many years, he read books the most, but at that time, he didn't pick any books, and he could read whatever books he could find. Now he can choose as he likes, which is already a very happy day for him.

The time in the bookstore is very good, Qi Runyun went in empty-handed with two little guys, and when he came out, more than an hour had passed, and the two little guys were also holding a bookcase in their hands.

Qi Runyun waited for Lingbao and they put the books on the carriage, thinking about where else to go shopping, but when his eyes swept around, he found that there was a shop with engraved seals on the edge of the bookstore. Qi Runyun once taught himself in order to practice the engraving skills on the mold, and the seal of the mud and stone was used to practice his hands. Now that I saw such a shop, I was interested in going in and having a look. And there hasn't been a consensual seal before, so you can just take a look. If he could meet a material he liked, he thought he could carve a watch seal himself.

Seeing Qi Runyun, he went into the shop next door, and the guards behind him hurriedly followed.

The shop was not big, and Qi Runyun felt a little cramped when he entered, not to mention that he was accompanied by several guards. However, the distance of three or four steps is the counter of the shopkeeper, and there are not many places that can be placed on the shelves, and the most special thing in the shop is also the shelves, probably because of the limited size of the store, unlike other stores pù is flat to distribute goods, but to make a three-layer shelf with an inclined surface to display goods, which occupies a lot less than the horizontal shelf, and because of the relationship between the inclined plane, it allows those who come in to see it at a glance.

Qi Runyun thought that this store had a whimsical idea. This shop sells seal materials and lettering, and the shelves are arranged according to the material, displaying jade, ivory, rhino horn, and stone. Among them, stone is the most, and there are many types of subdivisions of stone itself, so there are two containers in such a large store, which are made of stone.

Qi Runyun has a different preference for soil and stone because he has learned the relationship of mold making since he was a child, so even though the world mostly uses rhino horn and ivory as precious, he prefers stone seals. Of course, there are also valuable varieties like Shoushan Tianhuang in the stone, but Qi Runyun prefers light, and prefers Qingtian stone and frozen stone. The shop pù small has the benefits of the shop pù small, you can probably see it at a glance, not to mention, Qi Runyun really saw a piece of what he liked. It was a piece of sealed door green, light in color and oily in texture, smooth and smooth to the touch.

Qi Runyun rubbed the stone, but he really couldn't put it down. Then he picked a piece of white fruit in the corner, and Qingtian planned to carve a set of seals for himself with the sealing door green in his hand. After picking out the stone, Qi Runyun went to the counter to check out the bill with satisfaction, and was about to turn around and leave, but he saw a black and white textured black Qingtian on the counter. The steps of turning around paused, and the ghost almost remembered that once when he was reading a book, Song Qingyi suddenly said that when he was a child, he naughtily saw his father's black cloud seal and had to use it to play, but he knocked on the corner and was beaten by his father. At that time, Song Qingyi's eyes were full of nostalgia and sadness that he couldn't understand, and he didn't know why, Qi Runyun left that moment in his heart, and he couldn't forget it.

Now that he saw this piece of black Qingtian, he suddenly felt that he might be able to practice his hand and make a scholar's seal for that person.

Hei Qingtian was originally intended to be engraved by the store himself, but he didn't want to put it on the counter and be favored by customers. However, seeing that Qi Runyun really liked it, he sold it without embarrassment, and when he heard that Qi Runyun planned to carve it himself, he also talked with great interest about the places that should be paid attention to in the Qingtian stone carving chapter.

Although there are differences between the engraving and the lettering, some of the skills are skillful, and the center is still the same. It is necessary to understand the temperament of the material, the appropriate force and the uniform technique, which are the key points. Qi Runyun has been exploring the engraving for more than ten years, and the first time he officially fired the mold of the glass bowl in the kiln factory, he was full of praise from the old craftsman, and he naturally understood this aspect.

Qi Runyun didn't expect that just a temporary stroll into the store would allow him to meet a like-minded friend, and he didn't like to talk very much, but he also stood on the edge of the counter and chatted with the store for half an hour.

By the time he left this seal shop, Qi Runyun already knew that the shop's name was Hou Yan, and he was the shopkeeper and lettering master of the shop.

A trip out today has gained a lot for Qi Runyun, so he was in a good mood when he returned, but most of this goodness disappeared before he returned to Song Mansion and planned to enter the door.

Because there was an old carriage parked in front of the door, Qi Runyun looked at the sign on the car and recognized that it was from the kiln factory they had just left the day before. It was not the reporting day at the beginning of the month and the end of the month, and someone from the kiln factory said that something happened in the kiln. Thinking of this, when Qi Runyun entered the door, he planned to ask Lingbao to inquire about the situation, but before he could speak, the little guy who was in charge of welcoming guests said a few words to the person who was about to introduce the small door as soon as he saw him, and then came back and forth.

Qi Runyun glanced at the man and felt a little familiar. The man found that his gaze was still a little excited, but he didn't come because of the rules.

After listening to the reply of the next person, Qi Runyun knew that the person who came to find Song Qingyi, but he didn't expect that the eldest young master was not there, and he turned to find Shaojun to know that he was also going out, and he was in a hurry to meet Qi Runyun entering the door.

Hearing this, Qi Runyun was a little surprised, because if he remembered correctly, someone had just come to send the record the day before, how could someone come to find the two of them, after all, if there is something in the kiln factory, he will usually send it back to the master.

But when someone reported their identity, Qi Runyun knew why.

The person who came was one of the two apprentices in the kiln factory who were assigned to Song Qingyi to be in charge of the livestock furnace matter.

The man said what he meant, it turned out that the furnace fire really appeared cyan this afternoon, although it was only a moment, but you must know that at the moment they are only using an ordinary gourd kiln for burning the furnace, and the function of heating the furnace is just ordinary, compared to the situation where the blue flame occasionally bursts out of the dragon kiln is already very remarkable. Therefore, the two apprentices did not delay and came directly to the Song Mansion to return - Song Qingyi specially explained this matter, since the kiln factory gave the two of them to him, then what happened to the furnace later, whether it was good or bad, they could only report it to him or his righteous monarch.

"How many animals are recorded, what kind of state weight?" Hearing this news, Qi Runyun was also a little excited, not only because the pure green furnace fire could burn better grade glaze, but also because this mention came from the Qi family and Song Qingyi. Isn't it exciting to see the signs in just a little time now. But even though he was happy, he still knew his scruples.

"Remembered, the little one takes the record with him." He took out the hidden record book from his body and presented it to Qi Runyun, obviously he also understood what this record meant in the future.

After Qi Runyun took it, he was not in a hurry to look at it, but asked the others first, "Who were in the kiln when the furnace fire came out?" Who else has seen this record besides you? "The matter of the livestock furnace is in the kiln, and the craftsmen neither object nor pay special attention to it, after all, the matter of the sacrificial furnace happens from time to time, but the probability of success is not high, and the young master of the Song family will not have an opinion if he wants to burn money and will not hinder the kiln. It's just that the two apprentices are very serious and responsible because they are in charge of a big thing for them for the first time, and they are also very cautious.

"Only the small ones, because the stove used is more partial, there are few people coming over on weekdays, the young master has greeted Master Zheng, the materials will be sent every morning, the small ones are waiting for the person to leave before they start to try, every day is out of order to start, although this time to report out of the abrupt, but the small is to say to the housekeeper that there is an emergency at home to borrow the kiln's carriage to rush home." It seems that this apprentice is not only serious and cautious, but also very clever.

Qi Runyun nodded, asked the apprentice's name again, and explained the matter to be kept secret before giving a reward for Lingbao to send him down to rest, preparing to go back to the kiln factory later.

When everyone in the house went out, Qi Runyun flipped through the records. Because they only came back yesterday, there is only one more line in the record, according to Song Qingyi's requirements, the day and hour of the furnace were recorded, as well as the weight and type of livestock, as well as the variety of glaze burned-Song Qingyi did not plan to burn the stove empty, and explained that the apprentice received a share of the lower grade glaze every day into the furnace for firing, after all, it is not a small expense to burn firewood and livestock for a day, and the income of a lower grade glaze can just be topped.

After thinking about it, Qi Runyun went to the small study to carefully look at the handwriting on the record, and picked up a pen as if he had copied it again, and the content had naturally been modified. After waiting for drying, he called Si Nian and told him to hand it over to the apprentice to take back.

After doing this, Qi Runyun sat in the small study for a while, and then took out the piece of sealed door green that he bought today and began to carve the ornament for a while.

Song Qingyi finally got rid of Luo Xingjuan and went back to the yard, only to hear that his own Zhengjun also went out today, and bought a lot of books. As for the matter of the arrival of people from the kiln factory, naturally someone reported it to him, but since Qi Runyun had already dealt with it, he was not in a hurry for a while.

At the suggestion of the red sleeves, Song Qingyi found his Zhengjun in the small study, but Qi Runyun did not notice him coming in, but looked at him seriously and continued to carve the seal stone in his hand. Qi Runyun's fingers are very long, and his skin is also white, because of the strength of the carved stone, the bone joints are tense and slightly white, and the runqing seal stone held in the palm of his hand is unusually good-looking.

Song Qingyi looked at Qi Runyun's somewhat wandering eyes, and knew that he was in a trance, he had actually seen this state several times, in his previous life. At that time, their relationship was uneventful, except for the twice-monthly roommate, there was hardly any intersection, but this twice-monthly meeting he saw this man sitting alone in the room several times, holding an object in one hand - either wood or mud and stone - and holding a carving knife in the other. At that time, his mind was not on Qi Runyun, he always made a noise to wake people up, but this time he stood quietly on the side, watching him carve every line cleanly and neatly while he was distracted.

After a while, a picture of a green pine and a bright moon on the seal stone was about to be carved, Qi Runyun still didn't come back to his senses and found him standing aside, Song Qingyi felt funny and funny from the beginning, but now he didn't dare to call people, after all, he was holding a knife in his hand, and he was so afraid that he would startle people if he suddenly made a sound, and it would not be good if the blade was sharp.

Finally, when Qi Runyun came back to his senses and put down the carving knife and rubbed the carving lines, Song Qingyi dared to speak out aggrievedly: "I said that Madame's ability to travel outside the world is also unprecedented and unprecedented, and my feet are sore after standing for so long." ”

As soon as Song Qingyi spoke, he really startled Qi Runyun, and the seal stone in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"Be careful!" Song Qingyi, who had been prepared, hurriedly stabilized, "I said that Madame was so excited when she heard Xianggong's voice?" ”

"Duan Jin." Qi Runyun, who was startled by Song Qingyi, was about to get up, but softened.

"What's wrong?" Song Qingyi was taken aback, and saw that the person had just gotten up from the chair and fell back into his position, "Is it numb?" Still where is uncomfortable, I should have called you earlier, let you carve for so long. The shadow of the previous life made him have a natural fear of Qi Runyun's physical discomfort, and the scene of him lying in front of him with a blood-red stomach was a shadow that he could never forget for the rest of his life.

Qi Runyun rubbed his numb leg with one hand, and shook his head with the other hand on his sore waist, "I should have been sitting for a long time." "Actually, he used to be like this a lot, probably tired last night and went out again today, so he felt a little uncomfortable.

But what surprised him was Song Qingyi's reaction, seeing him rubbing his legs and waist, Song Qingyi suddenly picked him up and put him on the couch aside.

"You said you were going to carve something, how could you be distracted for so long, the blade was so sharp, if you accidentally carved it, or if you were sitting and numb for a long time like now, it would be bad......"

It was probably Song Qingyi's abrupt hugging action, and the broken thoughts that were different from the usual appearance that made Qi Runyun a little frightened. Facing the action of Song Qingyi rubbing his legs and waist, he was a little stunned.

Song Qingyi, who had been reading it all the time, felt a little funny, and suddenly stretched out his head and took a bite of Qi Runyun's cheek.
