016 Invitation to the Pavilion of the Chain
The two brothers of the Xie family have been busy with their father until it was dark and completely out of sight before returning to the residence exhausted, not wanting to just push the door in, and then heard someone say: "It's just a country carpenter, if it is said that it is for the craft, it can't be done, I think eighty percent is looking at other people's daughters, not to mention, that girl is really watery, just look at it and ready to move." The one who spoke was a man named Zhao He, because the Xie family brother stole his limelight several times, and it was not a day or two for him to slander these two people behind his back.
"Zhao He, you kid ......" Xie Kun was so young that he couldn't help but rush up and wave a fist at Zhao He, but his brother Xie Gan stopped him in time.
"Have you forgotten Master's explanation?" Xie Gan scolded Xie Qian sternly, turned to look at Zhao He, "It's okay if you slander our brother, after all, Miss Qi is a girl's family, don't ruin people's innocence, you can also accumulate some virtue for yourself." ”
"Heh, I also know that I pity the fragrance and cherish the jade," Zhao He shook his fist, but when he thought that he was not the opponent of these two at all, he sneered a few times, "If you want me to say that you two don't use that brain, this little girl was favored by that young man, but today I saw him flick off the sawdust for the girl with his own hands, this is a skin kiss." ”
Xie Qian ignored him, pulled his younger brother, took a towel, and went to the patio to fetch water and wash.
On the morning of the third day, the keel car was completely done, and the father asked the keel car to be carried to the small pool in the garden, and invited the boss and the workers to demonstrate it in front of everyone.
The shopkeeper smiled and bowed slightly to the carpenter's father, "Please forgive the master for the previous disrespectful salute." ”
The carpenter's father smiled innocently, took out his cigarette stick and knocked it on the keel car, "The shopkeeper is polite." ”
"Shopkeeper, now that the keel car has been completed, what you said earlier counts?" Qi Shangyi stepped forward and asked.
"This is natural, the three of the backyard of Qiao Tiangong can use it at will, but the contemptible person has a reluctant request." The shopkeeper smiled and glanced at Ye Cangjue.
"You say." Ye Cangjue said
"Since you rent land to pass on the art, why don't you also pass on this craft to my skillful disciple?" The shopkeeper said with a smile.
This was not done by Ye Cangjue, he turned his head to look at Qi Shangyi, Qi Shangyi said: "Anyway, it is also a passing on the art, and it should be a part of the skillful heavenly work, but my father is alone, and he can't make so many apprentices, and we also want to gather other people to learn, in my opinion, it is better to choose two craftsmen from Qiaotiangong, and if they are successful in the future, they can also transfer to other people." ”
"It's so good, Miss Qi is so young, but her thoughts are meticulous. You see, I am ingenious, who of these workers has this blessing? ”
Qi Shangyi looked into the crowd, in fact, everyone had already guessed who she would choose, but there were still some people who looked at Qi Shangyi with anticipation in their eyes, "Just these two big brothers." Qi Shangyi pointed to Xie Qian and Xie Kun brothers, and turned his head to look at his father, "Dad, what are your intentions?" ”
"You just have to look good." Daddy nodded, knocked out the ashes in the cigarette stick, and collected the cigarette stick.
The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "Xie Gan, Xie Kun, you two have to follow this master to study hard." ”
"Yes." The two of them bowed to the carpenter's father as they spoke, "Please give me more advice." ”
The carpenter's father smiled innocently, "You two spirit melons, I will be able to understand you by dialing a little bit of the old man." ”
When everyone saw that there was nothing left for themselves, they dispersed.
The keel car was displayed at the gate of Qiaotiangong for less than half a day, and it attracted a lot of people to come to watch, and some people read the notice on the side: the great drought in Jiangdong today, the saint and the priests work together to take the river water in the west of Liancheng Mountain to relieve the drought, and there are capable people to make keel cars, in order to transport water for disaster relief, and specially borrow the land of Qiaotiangong, convene carpenters from all over Jiangdong, teach skills for free, and those who wish to go quickly.
"Free handover? Can there be such a good thing? "Some people in the crowd started to disbelieve.
"This keel cart is here, and it must not be a lie," said another of the men, touching his short beard, and looking up at the craftsman who posted the notice, "What are the conditions?" Can everyone learn? ”
"Of course not!" Qi Shangyi walked out of the shop and stood in front of the notice, "My lord is merciful and intends to save the Jiangdong drought," Qi Shangyi deliberately raised his eyes when he said this, and glanced at the night cang at the door of the shop now, and his eyes smiled, as if he praised the saint and deserved to be rewarded, "But there are many people who teach it and it takes a lot of effort, so there are one or two people in various places." Anyone who comes must be a carpenter, and the last condition is that after completing the course, they must make three keel cars for their village for free! ”
"Three! This wood has to cost a lot, right? It's not something you usually do at home. As soon as Qi Shangyi's words fell, some people became worried.
"Rest assured, the timber for the three keel cars is all made by me." The shopkeeper of Qiao Tiangong then stood up and replied that with the support of this big consortium, everyone was relieved at once, and discussed what suitable person to tell the good news.
After waiting for three days, there were more than 50 workers who came to sign up for the selection, and suddenly the whole Qiaotiangong became lively, and the carpenter's father was also busy.
Qi Shangyi is only interested in disaster relief, and she neither understands nor likes to learn this kind of work, so she has nothing to do all day and walks around.
On this day, he was drinking tea in the garden all night, and the shopkeeper suddenly smiled and brought a plate over, Qi Shangyi hurriedly stood up, "Shopkeeper, who are you?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled, put the tray on the table, picked up the invitation card on the plate and handed it to Ye Cangjue, "Master Night, my owner admires the three very much, and specially invites the three to be guests in the Lianhuan Pavilion." ”
"Pavilion Master?" Qi Shangyi said softly, remembering the adoring look in his father's eyes when he heard about the master of the Serial Pavilion that day, and hurriedly looked at Ye Cangjue, "Master, people have a warm appointment, let's go to the appointment, right?" ”
Ye Cangjue didn't want to go to any Lianlian Pavilion, after all, there were many people in a famous family like this, and it was easy to expose his identity, but Qi Shangyi opened his mouth, and he had no choice but to give up and put the invitation on the table, "Since you want to go, then go ahead, there is a shopkeeper who tells us that we will go to the appointment on time in three days." ”
"Yes." The shopkeeper said, turned back to Qi Shangyi and nodded, and then turned to leave, it seems that this little girl is not as simple as it seems, if she is going to be an aunt to this master, she must be a terrible role.
"Do you know what the Pavilion is?" After waiting for the shopkeeper to leave, Ye Cangjue picked up the teacup and said lightly.
"I don't know." Qi Shangyi picked up the invitation card on the table and looked at it casually, shook his head and said, "But that day, my father seemed to worship the Pavilion Master of the Serial Pavilion very much, and in this regard, we should also satisfy his old man and go and sit down." ”
