Chapter 63: It's Worth It

The next day, Xiao Jinyu seemed to be fine, and came to Wei Yuan with the magic weapon he made to draw talismans, and Wei Yuan was interrupted like this, so he forgot about it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Leave the matter of collecting bad luck to Xiao Jinyu, and Wei Yuan will have nothing to do, and he will be in the house all day long.

"King Zhenbei knew that I had arrived in Jizhou, and specially gave me a post, do you think I should go and see it?"

Xiao Jinyu came in with a post, and Wei Yuan smiled: "Aren't we going to let bad luck hit the Zhenbei Palace, if you go, maybe something will happen, it's better not to go."

Xiao Jinyu smiled without saying a word, threw the post aside, and stepped forward to look at Wei Yuan's rune paper.

"See what?"

Wei Yuan saw that Xiao Jinyu's face was becoming more and more solemn, thinking that he had been opened up in the past few days, and his understanding of runes was getting better and better, so he couldn't help asking.

"I'm watching...... Is this a chicken or a monkey! ”

Xiao Jinyu pointed to one of Wei Yuan's runes, and the words she said made Wei Yuan angry and funny: "It's not a chicken or a monkey, don't you see that there are two horns?" It's obviously a cow! ”

"Haha, to be exact, four is not like ......"

Xiao Jinyu deliberately detoured to Wei Yuan's side, looked at it for a while, nodded and said.

"How about you see me making this hairpin?"

Xiao Jinyu took out a cloisonné double butterfly hairpin, Wei Yuan glanced at it, and then looked at Xiao Jinyu's pretending to be casual but actually nervous eyes, and knew that this was his newly made hairpin.

Recently, Xiao Jinyu is no longer satisfied with carving wood, and has found a master in the silver shop, melted a bunch of gold and silver, and filled a box of cat's eye gems, and made jewelry with great interest.

"Not bad."

Wei Yuan said approvingly, turned his head and saw Xiao Jinyu looking at her expectantly, stunned, and continued stubbornly.

"This ruby is set here to make this butterfly more flexible......"

Wei Yuan was not good at evaluating these jewelry, so he couldn't find the words to say: "I don't usually like to wear jewelry, and I don't know much about them, so why don't you ask other ......."

Xiao Jinyu's eyes turned around her head, nodded and said, "I can see it."

"Today, a master taught me filigree, do you want to see it?"

Wei Yuan thought that it would be okay for him to be idle, so he agreed.

The master Xiao Jinyu invited from a silver shop was really powerful, holding the gold wire with tweezers, and with a few flips of his fingers, a lifelike bird appeared.

Xiao Jinyu was clumsily imitating on the side, there were all kinds of strange patterns, Wei Yuan couldn't help but step forward and try it, but the result was uglier than Xiao Jinyu's pinch, and he couldn't see the shape at all.

"It's obviously your forte to pinch this!"

Xiao Jinyu looked at Wei Yuan's cloisonné and smiled from ear to ear, looking at Wei Yuan's somewhat confused appearance, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the kind of rune paper you draw?"

Wei Yuan glared at Xiao Jinyu, looked at the "bird" that he had filigree, and couldn't help laughing, this is indeed the same as her rune paper: no one can read it.

"I'm a basic person, and when I'm proficient, I can shake out one in minutes...... Birds are coming! ”

Wei Yuan looked at the master's cumbersome gestures, and originally wanted to shake a butterfly, but after thinking about it, he felt that he should not be so powerful, so he immediately changed his words and said that he became a bird.

Xiao Jinyu chuckled when eating, although she was a little rusty, she could barely keep up with the footsteps of the master, unlike Wei Yuan, who was in a hurry.

After playing for a day, Wei Yuan can still only make a four-way difference, but it's much more interesting than usual.

"How did you convince this master to teach you?" When it was getting late, Wei Yuan rubbed his wrist and prepared to go back to his yard, and suddenly remembered that this technique should be the secret of not being passed on.

"If he can teach a county king, he is naturally willing."

As soon as Xiao Jinyu said this, Wei Yuan immediately understood.

First, because of Xiao Jinyu's identity, as long as he says a word to the outside world, even the county king likes the craftsmanship of their silver building, but he is afraid that his reputation can go up several steps.

Second, it is also because it is impossible for a person of Xiao Jinyu's status to grab business with a silver building, so it is better to have such a good fate.

"Here's for you."

When he arrived at the courtyard, Xiao Jinyu handed over a wooden box, Wei Yuan hesitated for a second, but then took it: "What is this?"

"Birthday present."

Wei Yuan was stunned, and reacted for a while before remembering that today was the original owner's birthday.

"Thank you."

After a long time, Wei Yuan gently spit out these two words, but he was not as happy as Xiao Jinyu thought.

Xiao Jinyu wanted to ask but didn't know how to speak, so she had to watch Wei Yuan go back to the courtyard full of concern.

After Wei Yuan returned to the house, she opened the wooden box and took a look, it was the hairpin that Xiao Jinyu showed her today.

After learning filigree for an afternoon, Wei Yuan also knew how difficult it was to be able to make it look like this, although the butterfly looked like two fat moths.

"It's a pity...... "I'm afraid that no one can know about the real birthday and give yourself a birthday gift."

Wei Yuan put the hairpin in the jewelry box, remembering that every year on his birthday, the old man would cook by himself, cook a large table of good dishes, and several teachers and nephews would send all kinds of interesting gifts, and Aunt Huang would make delicious and beautiful cakes for her......

I don't know if the time over there passes as fast as here, and I don't know if the master and Aunt Huang are together, and the nephew who is clamoring to be a big collector......

Xiao Jinyu went back to the yard in a daze, and after a few turns alone, she went to Yichenzi's yard again.

"What happens if a person receives a gift from you but doesn't seem too happy?"

Yi Chenzi looked at Xiao Jinyu who rushed in and asked, blinked his eyes a few times, and his thinking was a little overwhelmed.

"What did you send? Wei Yuan is not the kind of person who is picky! ”

Hearing Yi Chenzi say it so clearly, Xiao Jinyu pulled a chair and sat down, and said directly: "I gave a hairpin made by myself."

"Oh......" Yi Chenzi nodded thoughtfully, "Then why did you give her a hairpin today?" ”

"Today is her birthday."

Yi Chenzi rolled her eyes when she heard this, and glared at Xiao Jinyu with a stinging eye: "Why don't you tell us about her birthday?!"

Xiao Jinyu was stunned, she didn't expect Yi Chenzi to be entangled in this question: "She didn't say it, I thought it was ......"

"Why do you think! I guess I'm afraid she's forgotten, but you think about her as a little girl, and her relatives at home aren't around......"

Xiao Jinyu's face changed, he never asked Wei Yuan what his origin was, he only knew that it seemed to be the daughter of someone in the capital.

"Her father is Wei Qian, the counselor of the General Political Department, and her mother is the third mother of the Chen family, who died a few years ago, and the stepmother in the family neglected her, otherwise she would not be ready to send her to Huzhou......"

Yi Chenzi told Xiao Jinyu what he heard in Yangzhou, and the more he talked about it, the worse Xiao Jinyu's face became.

"Moreover, this girl is different from ordinary women, she is a little unenlightened about these things, if you have a heart, you have to be in a hurry......"

Yi Chenzi stared at Xiao Jinyu and leaned back slightly, thinking that he could finally show the majesty of his elders.

Xiao Jinyu snorted coldly, glanced at Yichenzi, Yichenzi snorted twice in embarrassment, and put down his crossed legs.

Xiao Jinyu regretted a little in her heart, wanted to go to see Wei Yuan, and was worried that she had said the wrong thing.

"Do you want me to teach you?"

Yichenzi's eyes lit up like something, and he came closer to look at Xiao Jinyu, and boasted unceremoniously: "I think that back then, I Yichenzi was handsome and graceful, and how many big girls and little girls circled around ......me all day long."

"Hey, don't go, I'm right! Back then, every time I went out, those little girls would throw silk flowers at me, and tsk, when those silk flowers were put away, I could open a flower shop. ”

Yi Chenzi was immersed in the past and couldn't help himself, his face was full of nostalgia, and that expression could only be described by Wei Yuan's words: obscene! Extremely!

Xiao Jinyu stood outside Wei Yuan's courtyard, looking at the flickering candlelight, and the humanoid projection fell on the window, obviously Wei Yuan.

Xiao Jinyu hesitated to go in, but saw that the candlelight suddenly went out, leaving only moonlight all over the yard.

Wei Yuan didn't think that Xiao Jinyu's hairpin meant anything at all, maybe she should have thought of it, but because Xiao Jinyu said the words of her birthday, she didn't have any thoughts.

"Little girl, this is a birthday gift for you! Old man, I ran two streets early in the morning to buy it! It's going to take a good amount of time, and it's going to be hot when you get it back, which is really not easy......"

The next day, Yi Chenzi came to invite credit with a bag of fried chestnuts, and Wei Yuan couldn't cry or laugh: "Yi Lao, you were busy buying this for me early in the morning?"

"yes!" Yi Chenzi stared at the little eyes, "Do you know how difficult it is for me, old man?" You have to go early, don't you see how long the queue is......"

Wei Yuan knew that Yi Chenzi liked to eat, but he didn't like to queue up to buy it by himself, so it was really not easy for him to queue up to buy it and eat it, so Wei Yuan swallowed the words that he didn't want to eat.

"Then thank you Yi Lao, I'll eat later!"

Wei Yuan likes to drink porridge in the morning, and chestnuts are usually eaten in the afternoon.

"That's not going to work! It's cold after a while, you don't know, this thing is just going to eat so hot! When it's cold, it's hard, so how can you eat it! ”

Yi Chenzi was anxious to persuade Wei Yuan to try it, Wei Yuan knew that he wanted to eat it himself when he looked at him, but he couldn't open it by himself because he gave it to others.

"Is it really as good as you say? I'm hungry......"

Wei Yuan followed Yi Chenzi's words and opened the paper bag, it was indeed extremely fragrant, peeled one, golden, glutinous and sweet.

"How?"

Yi Chenzi looked at Wei Yuan and nodded, proud like a peacock, eager to spread his tail all.

"I just said, can the things I personally pick be fake? I have eaten all over the world, and I have tasted birds and animals......"

Wei Yuan'an listened to Yi Lao quietly, and for the first time he didn't pretend not to hear.

"Don't smile like this, you little girl, suddenly so gentle, why am I so unaccustomed to it?!"

Yichenzi glanced Wei Yuan up and down a few times, took a few steps back, and said with some horror.

"Yi Lao, didn't you say you wanted to go to the west to see how those wizards were different from us? Otherwise, we will deal with the matter of the king of Zhenbei, and let's go to see the desert scenery together. ”

Yi Chenzi was stunned, looked at Wei Yuan fixedly, rarely didn't speak, and was stunned for a while, before he said something unnatural.

"I naturally want to go, old man in the Western Regions, but what are you doing with me, I can go wherever I want by myself, and I can do whatever I want, and you are really dragging me back!"

Wei Yuan was not annoyed, and immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, please ask Yi Lao to bring us who are dragging our feet." There's no way around it, I really want to go to the Western Regions to have a look, but how can I do it without a leader like Yi Lao......"

Yichenzi immediately opened his mouth to say something, but sighed lightly and pressed down.

"Do you know why I like to talk so much?"

Yi Chenzi looked at the sky and asked softly, his tone fluttering like a spring wind, and it dispersed before he knew it.

Wei Yuan didn't answer, she knew that Yichenzi didn't want to ask her.

"When I was a child, probably when I was your age, my family was poor at that time, and in those years, I didn't know why, natural disasters and man-made disasters continued, my father was taken away by recruitment, and never came back."

"My mother and I are the only ones left in the house, and orphans and widows are always bullied. One year, when there was a flood, everyone had nothing to eat, so they pushed the cart and carried their belongings to run for their lives. ”

"We went all the way south, and the south was rich and had a better chance of survival. When I was on the road, my mother had a cold, and it was already extremely difficult to live in that world, where could I have extra money to treat the disease. ”

"It was early winter, and at night, the wind whined, and it was like an ice knife on people's faces, and we had no place to hide from the cold, so we had to find a corner to hide."

"Among the people we traveled with was a bell doctor from the countryside, he gave me a piece of ginger, boiled a bowl of ginger soup for my mother to drink, and told me to accompany my mother and not let her sleep, otherwise she will be even more sick if she sweats and gets cold!"

"I didn't like to talk at that time, I only knew to call her from time to time, and then I guarded my mother until midnight, and I called her silent......"

Yi Chenzi's eyes immediately turned red: "At that time, I was thinking, why don't I talk to my mother, there are so many things along the way, so many things that can be said, why can't I find something to say?!"

Wei Yuan looked at such Yichenzi with some sadness, and comforted: "Things have passed......

Yichenzi waved his hand, shook his head and said: "I used to comfort myself like this, but people, it's one thing to know, and it's another thing to think clearly, I always dreamed of my mother a few days ago......"

"Yi Lao, I, I haven't drawn ...... rune paper yet" As soon as Yi Chenzi opened his mouth, Wei Yuan's tears fell down his eyes, and he was about to leave after finding a reason.

"What are you afraid of, old man, I will always have that day, I am one hundred and thirteen years old this year, if I hadn't met my master back then, I would have been a handful of loess now, and it is ......really worth it to live for so many years."
