Another day, Miao Zhi and Xiang Yan planned to go to Lao Li's blacksmith shop to have a look.
Shen Yuqian not only came to Yuange that day to visit her little sister, but also told her that two days later, there would be martial arts competitions in various countries.
This news is undoubtedly a reminder that the time for the delivery of the "glass cup" is imminent, and there is not much time left to use it.
The location of Wubi was chosen at the royal hunting ground, which was on the Xufu Mountain south of the palace, where the terrain was wide. At that time, the family members of officials below the fifth grade will not be allowed to enter. After all, out of the palace, although there are many guards, in the end it is not as good as in the palace, and it is inevitably inappropriate to have too many people.
Although she was confident about the bottle, Miao Zhi couldn't help but worry, and she couldn't help but walk faster and faster.
Before turning into the alley where the blacksmith shop was located, the sound of "clanging" was heard from afar.
In the shop, the sturdy and swarthy old Li was methodically pulling the bellows "whining", and then shoveled some briquettes into the burning red stove, and picked up a sword with some gaps by the stove and inserted it diagonally into the charcoal fire.
Miao Zhi had just turned the alley and saw two people outside the blacksmith shop from a distance. It's none other than Qimang, who is pushing a wheelchair, and Yuan Hongxuan, who is half-squinting.
The man in the wheelchair was dressed in a slightly plain robe today, a long brocade robe in hemp gray, and his black hair was tied in a black bun with only a strap. is still cold and handsome, the pale thin lips are pursed into a good-looking arc, and the golden sunlight has a faint halo all around him.
She stepped forward quickly and greeted familiarly: "Prince Hongxuan." ”
The man bowed slightly, but the seven mangs behind him had a cold appearance, as if he hadn't seen her at all.
When the figure of the woman appeared at the mouth of the alley, Yuan Hongxuan's obsidian-like eyes never left the delicate pink. He knew that his heart was sinking a little. Despite his best efforts to restrain the sensation that was about to come out, he couldn't help but lock all his senses firmly on her.
"My sword made Qimang open a few days ago, so I came over and asked the skilled old Master Li to repair and forge it on my behalf."
Yuan Hongxuan opened his mouth to explain with some urgency, he told a small lie, and pinched the seven mangs behind him who wanted to speak.
"Mmmm, I'm here today to pick up something that I asked Master Li to burn." Miao Zhi smiled and watched Blacksmith Li skillfully do his work, and did not notice Yuan Hongxuan's strange appearance.
The sound of "clanging" in the blacksmith shop was noisy for about an hour, and Blacksmith Li handed over the long sword in his hand that had been hammered and polished to Qimang with satisfaction.
The thick palm casually picked up a piece of linen, wiped the sweat drops on his dark face, didn't dare to delay for a moment, turned around and took out a piece of something from a wooden box and handed it to Miao Zhi.
Yuan Hongxuan stared at the transparent white material, frowned slightly and asked strangely, "Miss Miaozhi, what is this?" ”
"Well, that's the prototype of the glass jar." Miao Zhi smiled, looked carefully, and was very satisfied with this piece of glass raw material.
"Then bother Master Li to melt it again, and I'll direct you to pull and blow it out next to me."
The honest blacksmith Li couldn't stop waving his hand with his flushed cheeks, "I can't do this, I can't do it, if I can't do it, I can't afford to accompany it." ”
"It's okay, it's good to break it and reunite again." Miao Zhi took a lot of time and made a full guarantee, even if she broke it, she would not blame others. The honest man agreed to her.
"Miss Miao Zhi, can you take a look here?" Yuan Hongxuan spoke, and then felt a little abrupt, "If it's inconvenient, I'll avoid it with Qimang." ”
"No, no, it just so happens that Hongxuan Gongzi helped me to staff and see if you like what I made, and I have a good idea of whether I want to use this to do business."
Then the time passed slowly in the woman's crisp and gentle voice.
Yuan Hongxuan's eyes were murmuring, and he silently looked at the woman who was constantly busy.
The snow-white soft wattle peeked out from the wide sleeves, the pink brocade lined her skin like jade, and the woman's eyebrows and face, which made people sink deeply.
She was clearly not the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but those bright sheared eyes were like a huge whirlpool, faintly rolling the people who were watching her into it.
Miao Zhi instructed Blacksmith Li to pull the glass raw material apart, and carefully blew up the fabrication with a leather manual drum, and finally pinched out the prototype of the bottle after repeated failures.
While the material has not yet hardened and formed, the twisted and deformed part of the bottle mouth is cut off, and then the edge of the bottle mouth is carefully pinched outward, and then the rough and thick bottle bottom is ground off, and finally there is some beauty at all. What Yuan Hongxuan saw was the crystal clear bottle in Miao Zhi's hand, although it was not as beautifully workmanship as the "glass cup" of the moonset, it was several times brighter than that.
Holding the bottle, she had a graceful posture, fine sweat oozing from her smooth and full forehead, smiling at the corners of her mouth and clear eyes, as if bathed in ten thousand rays of light, and the eyes of people who were as shaky as the bottle were a little unable to open.
In this situation, Yuan Hongxuan's heart seems to be blown by a spring breeze. The harmonious wind melted his long-frozen heart lightly, rippling in circles.
"Miss Miao Zhi is so knowledgeable and talented, she really burned this "glass cup" crystal clear, and she also opened her eyes again, I really have to admire. ”
Miao Zhi turned around, smiled and handed the bottle that had been cooled in his hand to Yuan Hongxuan. Looking at each other, time seemed to have stopped, and Yuan Hongxuan could only see the brilliant light like a sea of stars in the woman's dark eyes wrapping him layer upon layer.
Unprecedentedly, a faint smile appeared on Yuan Hongxuan's cold and handsome face, and he silently took the bottle and looked at it carefully for a while.
"Crystal as jade, clear as ice, but not gorgeous and exquisite."
"Don't worry, it's not over yet, just melt these trimmings, and then stick the carved pattern before it is almost hard." Now that the bottle body has been completed, the beautifully carved bottle ears have to count on the skilled masters in the official kiln.
finally got most of this matter done, and Miao Zhi also let out a long breath in her heart, and the joy couldn't hide the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
When a few people said goodbye at the entrance of the alley, Miao Zhi held the bottle wrapped in layers of cloth, thinking about going to the official kiln tomorrow to find the master to carve the bottle ear.
Xiang Yan behind her squinted at Yuan Hongxuan's distant back, and was silent during the period, but now she jumped out coldly: "Miss, what do you think of Hongxuan's son?" ”
Miao Zhi was stunned for a moment, and also looked at the two people who were far away.
The oblique halo was a little dazzling, and the shadows behind the two in the distance, one high and one low, were stretched and narrow. Miao Zhi's face sank like water, her cheeks were ruddy, and the obsidian-like eyes of Yuan Hongxuan in her head appeared and disappeared from time to time, and she suddenly seemed to understand what Xiang Yan meant, and a shy flush instantly climbed up to the roots of her cheeks and ears.
She didn't answer, and couldn't stop glancing forward, maybe she was thinking too much. brushed away the cranky thoughts in his mind, and Xiang Yan bought some rouge balm and returned to the bachelor's house.
