"Don't mention that."

For Qing Xia's oath to show loyalty, the expression on Concubine De's face changed little. She just interrupted these words, and said to Qing Xia in a gentle tone: "With me, I will not allow this to happen." Even if something bad happens in the future, it will be a long time later. ”

Qing Xia didn't answer again.

She is not a person of many words, and at the same time, she is not good at taking the initiative to greet anyone, which is different from many palace maids who serve their masters. If she hadn't been selected by Concubine De, maybe she would have been squeezed out a lot by other concubines in the palace. However, she seems to be lucky, Concubine De appreciates her practical nature, but staying by Concubine De's side, she needs to do a lot of things beyond the power of the palace maid, and most of these things are very dangerous, and the result of doing so may really lead to misfortune one day.

Concubine De picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of the warm flower tea soup. After putting down the cup, she picked up the half-embroidered pattern on the table and handed it to Qing Xia: "Look at it, how is the embroidery?"

Qing Xia took a step closer, squatted down in front of Concubine De, and then scooped the pattern and looked at it carefully, and then said: "Niangniang, Qing Xia is not good at embroidery, so I can't evaluate what kind of realm Niangniang's craftsmanship has reached. But Qing Xia had to admire, because Niang Niang had only seen the original embroidery of the 'Golden Thread Lotus' for an hour, but she could imitate it so realistically."

Concubine De smiled slightly and asked, "In your opinion, how much can it be counted?"

Qing Xia froze for a moment, and then replied: "The ordinary line shape can reach sixty percent, if you can scoop up the golden line, after Watanabe, you can get about ninety percent."

The smile on Concubine De's face faded, and she said, "Why don't you say ten percent." Ninety percent?"

Qing Xia was not affected by the change in the expression on Concubine De's face in the slightest, and said bluntly: "The original Golden Thread Lotus is actually made by one person, and it is not ready to be replaced until this year. A person's embroidery is like a person's handwriting, no matter how clever a person is, it is impossible to be completely consistent. ”

She paused for a moment before she said, "So it can also be said that the difference in this percentage is negligible. No one can completely imitate the handwriting of another person, but in this world. There are still a lot of forgeries that have not been discovered."

"Hehehe." Concubine De suddenly smiled heartily, and after laughing, she praised Qingxia: "Maybe you didn't mean it, but the evil you said sounds comfortable to me."

Qing Xia whispered a little embarrassedly: "The maid didn't think about it so much just now, she just said whatever she thought."

"I can hear you." Concubine De nodded, and after smiling, she sighed sadly: "Golden thread, can you get it as scheduled?"

Qing Xia raised her head slightly, although she didn't speak. But a wave has surged in my heart.

Listening to Concubine De's tone, the whereabouts of the golden thread have been determined, and it is only a matter of time before she gets it.

But this is something related to the dignity and mission of the mysterious unit in the Yulin Army, that is, a forbidden item. Since ten years ago, the first gold thread was produced, and it was taken away by Ouchi. Although the method of making gold wire has been retained in the original production of zuò, it has never been reproduced.

Even if this Concubine De has a wide range of hands, the result of reproducing this kind of gold thread without permission is likely to implicate the three clans. Thinking of the identity of the owner of the zuò shop and what could make him take such a risk, Qing Xia only felt that his brain was suddenly very insufficient.

"What are you thinking?" Suddenly there was Concubine De's voice in his ears.

Qing Xia was stunned, and then said without a trace of concealment: "The maid is confused, the qualified and capable private gold thread production is only one in Kyoto." But judging by the identity of that family. The result of this is likely to be self-defeating. ”

Concubine De laughed lukewarmly and said, "You're right, otherwise I wouldn't have gone back and forth to ask her for a few times, and she excused herself with excuses." But at the end of the day. The risk of doing this can implicate the three clans, the upper parents, and the lower heirs, no wonder I said that I wanted to help the girl in her family say a royal family, and she gritted her teeth and refused. ”

Qing Xia couldn't help but ask: "But listening to what Niangniang just said, it seems that she will agree to Niangniang's request as soon as she is nearby?"

"Because Wanjia is going to have an accident, she may ask me, but I don't know if I can catch up." A cold smile appeared on the corner of Concubine De's mouth, "If you want something, you have to pay, and when an indecisive person is faced with a desperate situation, he is often willing to struggle and breathe rather than die happily." ”

……

After Mo Ye and Shi Yi finished walking four streets, the sun began to turn west, and the sunlight gradually faded.

Along the way, the two patronized and chatted, but they didn't buy anything. It wasn't until they finally entered a simple vegetarian restaurant that the two of them found that they were both empty-handed, and they couldn't help but smile at each other at the same time.

The content of the chat is rich, but it is also very asymmetrical. In Mo Ye's opinion, Shi Yi's mind has too many bizarre jokes and short stories, but she thinks it is very interesting to hear. And along the way, Shi Yi asked her some questions about this country, either explicitly or implicitly, and in his twelve years of life, he spent a period of time living in a distant foreign land, which led him to have a lot of confusion about this capital. But when Mo Ye told him about the old news of the capital that seemed nothing new to her, Shi Yi always sounded like relish.

In the middle of a day of leisurely walking, Shi Yi was like this, while conveying novelties to Mo Ye that she had never heard of, and at the same time asking Mo Ye for the dust of time precipitated in the capital.

The content is somewhat contradictory in nature, but the process of chatting is very smooth.

It was almost evening, and the business of the vegetarian restaurant where the two of them rested was sluggish, not because of poor service and poor dishes, but because the location of the restaurant was too high from the ground.

The five-storey complex structure building, the restaurant is on the top floor, and there are two floors of residential houses in the middle, but the bottom floor is not a restaurant. The use of ingredients on such a floor is like pinching a section of the middle of the blood vessel on one of the arms of a person, as if blocking a part of the blood flow to stop a part of the flow of passengers, and no guest wants to have a meal and climb the fifth floor. It's just a pity that this rare high-rise building in Beijing did not take advantage of its architectural advantages to create commercial wealth.

However, the business of this vegetarian restaurant can be regarded as a trickle, partly because the vegetarian dishes in this restaurant are really good, and another reason is just like Shi Yi's character. People who live in Kyoto, where there are many fish and dragons, not only want to change their light food occasionally, but also want to be able to climb high and look far away from time to time and broaden their minds.

Standing by the window and looking into the distance, Shi Yi sighed happily: "I like to stand tall and see far." Sometimes I feel depressed, so I come here to sit down. The boss is a vegetarian dish, I don't know if it's because of the perennial fiddling with green cabbage leaves and white radish, people are also very freewheeling. ”

"I'll have to come here often when I have the chance." Mo Ye didn't continue to sit at the table waiting for the food, she stood up and walked to Shi Yi's side, and followed Shi Yi's example and looked into the distance. After a while, she also sighed: "The place where I grew up is a small county town, and the tallest house is no more than three floors. It's the first time I've stood on such a high ground today, and it's a strange feeling, thank you for bringing me here. ”

Shi Yi still maintained the momentum of looking into the distance, did not look at Mo Ye, smiled and said: "A comfortable small town, maybe the people who live there will not have as many troubles as the people in the big business capital, and the need to climb high and look far away can be realized as long as you find a mountain to climb casually."

"That's right." Mo Ye nodded.

At this point, just as the two of them were quiet together, about thirty feet away from this building, the noisy sound of gongs and drums suddenly rose, and then a guard of honor marched by.

Shi Yi retracted his gaze and asked casually, "What's going on?"

Mo Ye shook her head, she didn't know much about it.

The honor guard walked up another street, and from the window of the vegetarian restaurant, only the longitudinal side of the procession could be seen, and this longitudinal side was limited by the width of the street, so that Mo Ye could only vaguely judge that this was not a wedding honor guard, but more like an official on patrol.

But it's not hard for Kyoto's residents to tell the difference, and to be exact, it's common for chicks to see it, but today's pomp and circumstance was a bit too grand, so that the few customers in the restaurant also gathered around the window. After a while, the shopkeeper also approached, and even the chefs who were about to set up a pot for stir-frying in the back kitchen temporarily put aside their spoons and ran to the window to watch the excitement.

In order to join in the excitement, diners do not seem to be in a hurry to wait for the food to be served. People who can climb five floors for dinner don't look like busy people.

After watching the excitement for a while, among the few guests gathered by the window, there was a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes who couldn't help but mutter: "Shopkeeper, today I can't help but want to complain again, the location of your store is indeed high, but the angle is a little off, it has been several times, there is a bustle on Changyi Street opposite, and you can only see a corner here, and you can't see the protagonist."

The shopkeeper of the vegetarian restaurant just smiled kindly and did not speak.

But one of the diners next to the middle-aged man opened his mouth and said, "You don't understand this, do you?" If that kind of pomp and circumstance had been passed down the street below, the building would probably have ceased to exist. ”

The middle-aged man who was the first to speak just now immediately wondered, "Why is this?"

"Think about it carefully, there are more than two-story houses on both sides of Lok Yat Street?" The middle-aged diner paused for a long time before lowering his voice: "Safety is the most important thing...... I won't say more, so as not to cause unpleasantness to the shopkeeper. ”

The middle-aged diner's eyes were blank, and then he seemed to understand something, and he smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, at the wooden staircase outside the restaurant, a sound of footsteps approached from bottom to top, and a new batch of diners was about to enter the restaurant. It's just that their figures haven't appeared at the door yet, and they have already entered the store with a surprised tone.
