Chapter 57: The Dagger
Yongxin said goodbye to his grandfather and went out, turned around and closed the door of the hall before he breathed a deep sigh.
Xiao Mo approached with a bowl and looked at the child's father with questions on his face.
With a smile to appease, Yongxin took the lady to the side and said, "It's also a good thing, my grandfather asked me to go to the private school in the surrounding villages, and after choosing one, I sent Yonghua Yongge to study." ”
Xiao Mo's face stiffened, and he muttered, "Yes, yes?" ”
The Jin family provided Jin Qiquan, and a scholar could take care of the last meal, but he couldn't take care of the next meal, and now he has to add two more. I'm afraid I'm going to have a bit of a hard time when I just got up.
Yongxin didn't understand the lady's thoughts, he hugged the past with one hand, and comforted softly: "It's a good thing, grandfather promised, when he is stronger, he will also be sent to a private school, and when they all grow up, most of the descendants of the Jin family will be scholars." ”
Xiao Mo raised her head, with surprise in her eyes, and she said, "Really? ”
"Seriously, when he reaches the age of four or five, send him to enlightenment." This is something he didn't dare to think about before, and Yongxin even thought in his heart that his son would be older in the future, and he would personally teach him the technique of iron-making, how could it be a craft.
"Then why don't you go to the village now?" Little Mo's asked.
Yongxin shook his head: "Master Wei is in a hurry, I'll finish the work in my hand first." There's no rush to find a private school, but you have to take your time. ”
Since you want to find it, of course you want to find a good master, and you have to refer to your conduct, knowledge, etc. to decide.
Yongxin was about to leave after speaking, but was pulled by the lady: "Go after drinking, it's stuffy in the furnace room, you have to come out from time to time to walk and relax, don't stick in it and not come out." ”
The mung bean soup in the bowl was still a little warm, Yongxin swallowed it with three or two bites, and the care of his family made him more motivated, he said, "I know, I passed." ”
Yongxin didn't think as much as Xiao Mo's heart, although the expenses were large, how could Yonghua Yongge also be his younger brother, and the Jin family, who was not separated, was a big family, and there was no distinction between you and me.
But he also knows that there are many people in the family who have other ideas, after all, everyone has a clear distinction in their hearts.
He sighed, and when everyone in the family knew about it, he was afraid that it would have to be lively again. The reason why Yongxin sued his wife was also to let his wife reveal it to her mother, so that she could be mentally prepared.
The cost of going to a private school is very large, and of course Yongxin knows, not to mention the cost of the four treasures of the study, that is, the two book fees paid together are afraid that it will cost two or three taels of silver for two quarters.
He rolled up his sleeves and thought to himself that he would have to do more work in the future.
'Ding, ding, ding. ’
One after another, Yongxin stopped and listened.
This sound?
Then, he suddenly realized, and hurriedly ran to the furnace room in a panic.
The pig iron under the iron tongs cracked from the middle part, and although the crack was not large, it could indicate Jin Yun's failure this time.
She put down the iron tongs and rubbed the shoulder of her right hand, which was fine when she was beaten, but as soon as she stopped, she felt a little sore.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" Yongxin ran over panting, unable to hide his astonishment. It's not that I'm blaming, but I'm looking at the one in front of me in disbelief.
Not to mention that the sister-in-law can pick up a hammer, the pig iron on the blacksmith's furnace is not at all what it was before he left.
So this ...... Was it forged by my sister-in-law?
"It's broken." Jin Yun's mood was not impetuous, she was really interested. After forging so many times before, there were also one or two times when the sound was more mellow, which was not much different from when Yongxin was forging, but before she could grasp the trick, the pig iron cracked.
The red-hot pig iron was beaten and cracked, what a lot of strength! Yongxin couldn't help swallowing, it was hard to imagine that a teenage girl could do this.
Jin Yun handed over the hammer and said, "You can try it." ”
Yongxin took it stupidly, and after putting on a good posture, he beat it up with familiar movements, don't look at his action specifications, but his mind was confused, and he asked uncertainly: "Sister-in-law, do you want to learn?" ”
Jin Yun didn't hide it and nodded yes. The eyes are straight ahead, very focused.
The moment she found Yongxin dropping the hammer, his back was protruding, slightly protruding upwards through a thin layer of clothing, Jin Yun squinted, and the bulge was the shoulder blade.
The shoulder blades are bulging, and the entire shoulder is stressed.
And just now, Jin Yun focused his strength on his hands.
"I'll give it a try." Jin Yun spoke.
Jin Yun squeezed Yongxin away, picked up the hammer and adjusted his posture before dropping the hammer.
'Bell. ’
The sound is right! She didn't stop and still dropped hammer after hammer.
The sound of the hammer hitting the red-hot pig iron entered the eardrums, and with the light in her lowered eyes, she tried to release the gold ability in her body, and with the hammering in her hand, the pig iron embryo under the iron tongs gradually took shape.
With the burning clouds on the horizon, the entire edge of the sky shines, showing dazzling colors, beautiful showy, red dazzling.
The pig iron on the blacksmith's furnace had been forged, and Jin Yun hammered the crack deeper, with the middle as the handle and the two ends as the blade.
For an afternoon, Jin Yun didn't stop, and Yongxin's body didn't move.
Until the last hammer, Jin Yun stopped his hand and put the formed knife under the iron tongs into the clear water next to him, and the red-hot iron tool instantly rose up a cloud of white gas.
After quenching, the knife is no longer red-burned, and its results can be seen more.
To Yongxin, this is a dagger forged by beginners, yes, a double-edged dagger.
The knife surface is uneven, and the handle in the middle should be ready to be forged into a circle, but now it is a little twisted.
But for a person who has never learned from a blacksmith, these are enough to amaze Yongxin.
What made him even more unable to move his eyes was that the knife that had just been forged, and the blade that had not yet opened made him feel sharp.
It even made him think that it was a dagger that could be used without opening a blade.
An unexpected dagger!
"Why is it so ugly?" Jin Yun looked at it again and again, and said, but unfortunately her current ability can't change the shape of the metal, otherwise it can be repaired.
"Ugly?" Yongxin shouted: "This is your first time forging, how can you call it ugly." ”
It was more of an embarrassment, and he didn't dare to think back to the work he had forged for the first time.
Immediately, he asked again, "Sister-in-law, when did your strength become so great?" ”
After beating for an afternoon, it was as if nothing had happened, and he even forged a dagger, which was almost on par with him.
"Strength?" Jin Yun rolled her eyes and said, "It's probably the reason why I hit my head before." ”
"Bumped into the head?" Yongxin scratched his ears and cheeks, but he didn't think that there was anything to do with hitting his head and getting stronger.
"Didn't your mother say that there used to be a blind man in our village, and he could see it the next day after hitting his head." Jin Yun explained: "I think I should be similar to her. ”
Yongxin worried: "Why don't you go to the town clinic tomorrow and have a look?" ”
Jin Yun glanced over: "Isn't it good for me to become stronger." ”
After speaking, he ignored him and walked out with a double-edged dagger.
