Chapter 44: The Iron Shop

An Rong continued to shake the old lady, "I know where the eldest brother is, grandmother, you can let me go out, or will you let Sister Xia He accompany me?" ”

The old lady glanced at Xia He, although Xia He was a second-class maid, but for her calm temperament and reliable work, with her to watch, nothing would go wrong.

The old lady thought about it and agreed.

The happy An Rong kissed the old lady directly on the face, and the old lady was stunned, since An Rong learned the rules, but she had never kissed her face like this, her happy heart softened for a while, and scolded An Rong with a smile, "There are no rules." ”

An Rong smiled playfully, saluted, and left the house with peony and Xia He with a smile.

It's still yesterday's carriage, the carriage is huge, and it is not a problem to seat three people at all.

After getting into the carriage, Peony asked curiously, "Girl, where are we going?" ”

"Go to Ningping Street, Li's iron shop."

Peony looked at An Rong in a daze, and only after a while did she say, "The slave maid thought that the girl was going to the Jade Jin Pavilion to customize a dagger, but it turned out that she was going to the iron shop, but the iron shop couldn't make such a beautiful dagger at all." ”

Xia He also looked at An Rong, thinking about the old lady's advice before going out, Xia He said, "The dagger is a murder weapon, the girl should stay away, what?" ”

An Rong smiled and said, "My eldest brother's birthday is coming, and I plan to give him a special dagger, not for myself." ”

Xia He was relieved, but he had some doubts in his heart, the eldest young master's birthday was still early, and it would take more than ten days, so there was no need to be in such a hurry, and there was such a trivial matter as customizing a dagger, the maid was enough, and there was no need to bother to run by herself.

An Rong didn't explain much, just stuffed a purse over, "I'm going to trouble Sister Xia He to accompany me out today, and if you want to eat anything for a while, just buy it." ”

Xia He took the purse, his palms sank, his eyes changed, he hurriedly pushed it over, shook his head violently and said, "No, it won't work, the girl has too many rewards, and the slave doesn't dare to be it." ”

Five taels of silver, more than her monthly money for three months, An Rong forced it over, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything bad, I won't let you and your grandmother can't explain, it's just that I'm really unstable in my grandmother's heart, and she doesn't feel at ease when she goes out with the maid alone, and I don't want to be with the sisters in the house, and I have to have Sister Xia He to accompany me out in the future, how can I let you run in vain?" ”

Xia He was a little relieved at this time, but five taels of silver was too much, right?

But I couldn't help but be happy in my heart, I was able to come out to play, and I was rewarded, and the smile on my face became brighter.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the Li family's iron shop.

The guy at the blacksmith thought that a customer had come to the door, and when he saw that it was three girls, he stood there and continued to wipe the knife.

An Rong didn't get depressed because of the slow stay, after all, the people who came to buy the dagger were all men, and the young man must have thought that she was going to buy something next door.

Seeing An Rong stepping in, the young man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "I don't know if the girl is coming?" ”

An Rong swept the iron shop, all kinds of weapons are available, and they are very complete, "I'm looking for your owner, Lao Li Blacksmith." ”

The young man blinked his eyes and said with some embarrassment, "The old owner doesn't care anymore, and now it's the owner who is in charge." ”

How could it be, that dagger was obviously made by Lao Li Blacksmith himself, An Rong said with a restrained expression, "I want to beat a few daggers that sharpen iron like clay, or find you Lao Li Blacksmith to be safe, and trouble the little brother to pass it on." ”

The words "Sharpening Iron Like Clay" made the young man's eyes shine, and it is the old club's lifelong wish to create a sword that sharpens iron like clay.

It's just that the owner obviously won't, but the young man didn't dare to delay, so let An Rong be in the shop later, and he went to tell the old owner.

At the time of half a cup of tea, Lao Li blacksmith came over in a single dress, more than fifty years old, walking like a dragon, and not seeing a little decadence.

Seeing An Rong, Old Li Blacksmith frowned and spoke very bluntly, "Girl, I am ashamed that I have not yet learned to make a dagger that sharpens iron like clay, I am afraid that I will disappoint the girl." ”

An Rong smiled, with a confident face, "Since I'm here, naturally I won't go home empty-handed." ”

Lao Li's blacksmith's eyes lit up, he said no, but she was so confident, it seemed that she knew how to make a dagger that sharpened iron like clay, and hurriedly asked An Rong to come into the inner hall to speak.

Old Li Blacksmith's son was also there, or the tea he personally poured for An Rong, and then sat down, not saying a word, but his eyes were wide open, especially his son, Li Kai, who was only sixteen years old.

Old Li Blacksmith couldn't hold back his excitement and asked An Rong, "If the girl has something to say, please say it directly, the old man has been fighting iron all his life, and he is used to going straight to the point." ”

An Rong didn't twist, and went straight to the point, "I have a secret method to make an iron dagger like mud, and I also know that the old blacksmith keeps his promise, but I am afraid that the dagger will cause me to kill myself, so I ......." ”

Old Li blacksmith thought for two seconds, then understood the meaning of An Rong, immediately stood up, and said, "Girl, don't worry, if there is really a secret method to sharpen iron like a dagger, my old blacksmith will fight by himself behind closed doors, if it is really leaked, the life of the old man will be paid to the girl!" ”

After he finished speaking, Blacksmith Li stood up and said excitedly, "Girl, don't listen to my father's nonsense, my father has been fighting iron all his life, and his favorite thing is to build sharp weapons, he keeps his promises, but I can't bear him to fight weapons for a lifetime behind closed doors, destroyed, ruined, it is better to sell those weapons, and the profits are seventy percent to the girl?" ”

An Rong looked at Blacksmith Li twice, admiration flashed in his eyes, and then he chuckled, "Shopkeeper Li is not afraid that seventy percent of the Li family's iron shop will be mine in the future?" ”

Shopkeeper Li was stunned, and his heart became more and more fanatical, because An Rong said this to agree with his mention, and said with a busy smile, "I think even if there is only 30% of the income, it will not be less than the current one, and the Li family's iron shop will also be famous." ”

An Rong smiled lightly, "Shopkeeper Li is refreshing enough." ”

The old shopkeeper frowned, and looked at the shopkeeper Li with a solemn expression, "The Li family's iron shop has been difficult to do today, if you let outsiders know that the shop can make a dagger that sharpens iron like mud, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to the shop, and the girl can protect the shop?" ”

Kyoto Daguan dignitaries are more, Daguan dignitaries have more lackeys, often bully, forcible robbery, the old shopkeeper is worried that the time will be remembered, not only can not be famous, but even the life is lost.

An Rong smiled and said, "Don't worry, the old shopkeeper, I will find a few reliable backers for the shop and make the Li family iron shop bigger." ”

As long as it is profitable, it is not difficult to find a backer at all.

The old shopkeeper was relieved, An Rong took out two pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them to the old shopkeeper, the top one was a drawing of a dagger, the old shopkeeper sighed exquisitely, and the next one stopped talking after reading it, and looked at An Rong with doubts.

An Rong said with a smile, "If you don't believe it, you can try it, within three days, I want a set of exquisite daggers, just use this drawing, and seven identical ones, these are not in a hurry, you can build them within ten days." ”

An Rong left five hundred taels of silver tickets, and then took the maid away, the old shopkeeper held the drawings and did not speak, and the Li shopkeeper held five hundred taels of silver tickets and did not speak.

The peony hurts for five hundred taels of silver, so the dagger is too expensive, right?

took the maid to wander around the street, bought a pair of earrings for Peony and Xia He, then bought some food, and went home.

In the carriage, An Rong looked at Xia He and said, "Sister Xia He, don't tell grandmother about the Li family's iron shop." ”

Xia He is still playing drums at this time, and the four girls even have the secret method of sharpening the dagger like clay, is it together with the prescription?

But thinking that the prescription finally made trouble and invited all the uncles and uncles, there was no way, everyone would rush to ask for good things, and it was understandable that the four girls were hiding a little, and it was okay to bring her out today, because they trusted her, Xia He was moved in his heart.

"It's not a big deal for the fourth girl to make a dagger for the prince as a gift," Xia He said with a smile.

An Rong smiled, wondering if she could build it successfully, if it was successful, who should she find to be the backer of the iron shop?

In the past, Qingyan was protected by Xiao Zhan, and Xiao Zhan had Xiao Guogong behind him, the Marquis of Jingbei, the Prince and Princess Ding, and his own father Yongning Hou, not many people dared to provoke him, except for those who were not afraid of death and looking for death.

Is she going to find Xiao Zhan?

An Rong shook her head violently, dispelling this idea, just kidding, her skin is not thick enough to this extent, let's find the county lord of Yiyang......

When I returned to the Hou Mansion, before I entered the door, I heard a major event, an expected event: Shen Anxiao was bitten by a snow group.
