Chapter 25: Dilemma

There are gold and silver, and the world is called gold, which is the most difficult to get and the most valuable.

There are a lot of gold products with exquisite workmanship, the style is either rich or elegant, it is simply the skill to the extreme, Qi Jinzhi once saw a gold makeup box, it is really exquisite, so that she can not forget it after seeing it until now.

When Yun Yao listened to Qi Jinzhi's description of how rare and valuable the gold products were, she also thought about it many times in her heart, and she felt that even in ancient times, she couldn't be a rice worm and only knew how to eat and wait for death.

At the very least, it is still necessary to support the family, and after living in the Qi family these days, she can be regarded as having seen clearly, and the Qi family now relies on about seven girls to earn money to support the family.

Qi Laoniu and Qi Gu's family are equivalent to being old-aged, and they will not go out to work to earn money, Qi Jing wants to study and take scientific examinations, although he will also do some work, but he can be famous and decent, he can always not make money in business, and he will not easily go hunting for silver, counting, if the seven Qi Jinzhi sisters get married, the life of the Qi family will not be so comfortable.

Yun Yao felt that if she married Qi Jing, she had to help share a little responsibility for supporting her family.

How can you say that a high-quality man like Qi Jing marrying her is an ecstatic thing, what do handsome guys follow her to do, naturally they still want to have a stable life, if they don't have money, how can they live a good life?

It's easy to do things with money, this truth is applicable everywhere, and she has to work hard in order to raise a handsome guy.

After thinking about it, Yun Yao felt that the road of selling money was still feasible.

"Eldest sister, is there any gold at home?" Yun Yao asked with a smile.

"Huh?" When Qi Jinzhi was gushing to Yun Yao about how rare it was to get tired money, he was a little sluggish, and he asked for a long time: "Do you want gold?" How much? ”

Yun Yao thought that she hadn't made a lot of money, and she didn't know if she could succeed once, so it was better to try it first: "Just give me a little bit, don't hide it from my eldest sister, in the early years, there was a goldsmith near our house, he had good skills, it seems that he used to work in a big family, and then offended people to live incognito in our village, I went to his house to play when I was a child, I saw him make jewelry, and I also learned a thing or two from him, I want to try to see if I can get some money." ”

Qi Jinzhi was happy when he heard this: "If you want to try, you can do it, but you have to remember one thing, don't be sad if you can Chengdu or not." ”

"Okay." Yun Yao smiled and agreed.

Qi Jinzhi asked her to follow, the two walked side by side, laughing and laughing and went to the Jinzhi house, and when they entered the house, Jin Zhi first found a menstrual belt for Yun Yao, wrapped her with a green onion wrapper, and then rummaged through the cabinet and found a small piece of gold and handed it to Yun Yao: "Take it to play, don't take it to heart if it doesn't succeed." ”

Yun Yao was still a little moved when she accepted the gold.

Gold is a valuable item in this era, Qi Jinzhi doesn't know how much effort it took to get this piece of gold, but she handed it to her so casually, in addition to Qi Jing's love, speaking of which, he still has some love and trust for her.

"I'll try, if it doesn't work, the gold can still melt together, and I won't lose much." Yun Yao smiled and narrowed her eyes.

She put the gold in her purse, picked up the bag and said goodbye to Qi Jinzhi, went out of the house, took a deep breath of the air with the fragrance of flowers outside, and felt indescribably comfortable.

When the night fell, Yun Yao returned to her room, and when she entered the door, she saw Qi Jing reading a book in her hand, Yun Yao approached and saw that the word Spring and Autumn was written on the cover, and blinked her eyes, Yun Yao smiled: "It's night, you turn on the lights, don't burn your eyes." ”

Qi Jing put down the book and got up, and sure enough, he lit another candle, but although he lit two candles, the light in the room was still not very bright, and in the dim light, Qi Jing's eyebrows and eyes were still prominent, which made Yun Yao even more happy when he saw it.

A gust of wind blew in through the window, the candlelight flickered a few times, one candle was extinguished, and the remaining fire was shortened a lot, Yun Yao took a few steps over to protect the candlelight, shook her head and sighed: "It would be nice if you could make a cover to cover it, and the province will be blown out by the wind." ”

"I'm afraid it's getting darker and darker with the hood." Qi Jing pulled Yun Yao to sit down.

"No, it won't." Yun Yao stretched out her hand and lit the candle: "As long as the transparent cover is good, it will not affect the light, and there will be a hole in the cover, otherwise the air will not circulate and extinguish faster." ”

Speaking of this, Yun Yao suddenly smiled: "Crystal or glass can be made into a cover, and when I make money, I will get one for Xianggong." ”

She then remembered that she had seen a kind of thing called crystal lamps in books, which was said to have been invented at the intersection of ancient and medieval times, that is, a cover made of crystal to cover many candles hanging from high beams, this kind of lamp was very bright and stable, much better than the oil lamps and candles used today.

Yun Yao made up her mind that when she had money, she must make one for Qi Jing.

Speaking of which, the crystal lamp is really easy to make, there is no skill, if you give Yun Yao the materials, she can make a beautiful crystal lamp in less than half a day.

"Okay."

Qi Jing didn't think about asking Yun Yao to make money at all, he agreed, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Yun Yao, and coaxed softly: "In a few days, I will help my father and mother plant the field and go to collect medicine, or go to the city to help people write and paint, and when I make money for you, let's make a crystal cover, and the house in the province will burn your eyes." ”

Yun Yao understood that Qi Jing felt sorry for her, and she didn't explain, let alone mention to Qi Jing about doing tiredness.

She said a few words to Qi Jing, then sat down at the desk, picked up a travelogue and read it.

Yun Yao's mental power is surprisingly high, and she can read books much faster than others, she looks at a page of the book for about a few seconds, and after reading the content of the book, she memorizes it in her mind.

By the time she finished reading the travelogue, it would only take a quarter of an hour.

Yun Yao saw that Qi Jing was reading the Spring and Autumn Book again, and there was nothing to do, so she took a pen and paper to draw the places recorded in the travelogue according to the scale, and after a while, Yun Yao drew a map.

Qi Jing finished reading a few pages of the book, and when he looked down, he saw Yun Yao holding his chin and drawing on the paper, he took a closer look and was immediately surprised.

"This is ......" Qi Jing was a little surprised: "The lady drew the route from Yanzhong to Chang'an?" ”

Yun Yao raised her head and smiled: "Yes, the travelogue I read is that someone set off from Yanzhong all the way to Chang'an, recording many counties, towns and villages that appeared on the road, as well as the customs and customs of various places, which is very interesting." ”

"Lady has seen the map of those places?" Qi Jing asked again.

Yun Yao shook her head: "I haven't seen it, I drew it according to the travelogue, and I don't know if it's right or not, but I drew it myself and played with it, so I don't care if it's right or not." ”

Qi Jing picked up the map and looked at it for a long time, and found that this map was very rigorously drawn, both in terms of scale and the topography of each village and town, which was more standard than the regular map made in the court, and I really couldn't believe that this was just Yun Yao's game.

"The lady is so good at life." Qi Jing was full of admiration, and praised Yun Yao with a smile: "This map is really well drawn." ”

Yun Yao also laughed: "I don't understand those poems and songs, but I have some means for these fine things, according to me, Xianggong is talented to learn, I think Xianggong writes good words, and he writes a lot of poems, and he can farm and collect medicine, Xianggong is this." ”

As she spoke, she gestured and stretched out her thumb, making Qi Jing laugh for a while.

Qi Jing stretched out his hand and rubbed Yun Yao's hair: "It's good if you paint it in our own home, these can be talked about to others, otherwise it will be easy to attract trouble." ”

"Okay." Yun Yao nodded very seriously: "If I have anything, I will tell Xianggong, and I will only tell the people in our own family, and I won't tell them about the people outside, Xianggong can rest assured, I have a number in my heart." ”

Qi Jing saw that Yun Yao's eyes were big and transparent, and there was seriousness and shrewdness shining in them, so he really put his mind at ease.

The two of them read the book for a while, Yun Yao was very sleepy, but she still insisted on sitting beside Qi Jing to accompany him, making Qi Jing's heart soft and sweet, and finally put down the book and pulled Yun Yao up: "It's late at night, let's rest." ”

Yun Yaole was so bad that she almost jumped up: "Okay, let's go to bed quickly." ”

She took a few steps over and put the quilt away, patted the pillow again, took off the clothes outside, jumped on the bed with only her middle coat, the whole person was wrapped in the quilt, only a small face was revealed, and the pair of apricot eyes looked at Qi Jing with a smile: "Xianggong hurry up and get to bed." ”

Qi Jing felt thirsty in his throat, swallowed two mouthfuls of dry foam, and was almost the same hand and foot with nervousness.

It took him a long time to take off his clothes, shoes and socks, and when he lay on the bed, he was lying straight like a zombie.

Yun Yao rolled into Qi Jing's arms as soon as she rolled, her little hand was around his waist, her head was pillowed on Qi Jing's chest, and she exhaled like a land: "Xianggong's body is warm, it's really comfortable to hold." ”

After saying this, Yun Yao yawned delicately, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

In vain, Qi Jing kept his eyes open and restrained, and he fell asleep almost half a night.

When he woke up the next day, Qi Jing's eyes were blue and black, which made Yun Yao fuss for a while, and when the two went out to eat, everyone in the Qi family asked again, which made Qi Jing's face tense all day.

After breakfast, Yun Yao went to the small room next to the bedroom and took out the piece of gold to try to make gold wire.

If her spiritual power can be used, this kind of work is simply trivial, but now Yun Yao can only use B-level spiritual power, and she can't deform and pull gold into silk, so she can only think of other ways.

Yun Yao thought that it should be easier to use the high temperature to assist in softening and deforming the gold first, and then using spiritual power to draw the silk.

It's just that gold has a melting point of more than 1,000 degrees, and under such conditions in ancient times, where can we find those fuels to melt gold?

The more Yun Yao thought about it, the more headache she felt, she thought of many kinds of fuel, but none of them worked.

Half of the morning was spent in this kind of waste, and Yun Yao knew why tired silk could be so expensive, it was really too difficult to do.

It seems that she still has to improve her physical fitness first, and if she can use A-level spiritual power, she will be able to melt the gold herself to draw silk.
