"Zilin is not afraid to show her heart to her mother! Originally, Zilin had a thought about her second brother. But now that he is about to marry Yan Shangshu's daughter, seeing that he has no chance with him, Zilin's mind has also faded! I only hate Xu Zhilan, this cheap, I have been humiliated repeatedly, I just can't see her rampant self-righteousness! A village girl who grew up in the countryside, whether it is the second brother or the fourth brother, she is not worthy of them! Later, every word was filled with hatred.

Seeing that Song Zilin was emotional, the queen knew that a woman's jealousy was the most terrible, "What Lord Yi said is not unreasonable, but now that the Queen Mother loves her so much, the palace naturally can't treat the daughter of the Xu family harshly, so as not to dismiss the Queen Mother!" ”

"Don't worry! Please believe Zilin, let Zilin do it, as long as Niangniang cooperates a little, she will not make Niangniang embarrassed. At that time, Niangniang will wait to see Zilin teach Xu Zhilan a good lesson! ”

Seeing her determined, the queen finally nodded, "Since Lord Yijun is sure, let's do it!" But be sure to pay attention to proportion, don't set yourself on fire! ”

Song Zilin was overjoyed when she finally said that the queen was moved, and in order to win over the queen to deal with Xu Zhilan together, she had a lot of thought in advance to prepare this statement.

After sitting down in the Fengyi Palace, she got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he instructed the palace maid of Fengyi Hall that if Xu Zhilan entered the palace next time, she must be treated well, so that she knew that the palace rules were strict, and she didn't come when she wanted to, and she could leave if she wanted. Seeing that the palace maids were ordered, they left satisfied.

It was rainy for a while, and it was not easy to travel. However, Xu Zhilan is a temperament that likes to move and not like to be quiet, in addition to getting up every morning to practice swordsmanship, after breakfast, she will go to Jianxin to visit Qin Lao, and she has been quite interested in sword casting recently.

Every time, Xu Zhilan would go to the best restaurants in the city to buy some good wine, accompanied by exquisite roast goose, bad duck paws and other food, and bring it to Qin Lao.

Casting a sword is not an easy job, not only the temperature of the furnace of the sword casting furnace must be exquisite, but the intermediate procedures are also complicated, and it is necessary to go through the layers of making, dispensing, smelting, casting, repair and processing, and finally the sword can be sharpened, and one step must not be sloppy.

But Qin Lao is also worthy of being a skilled sword-casting expert, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a grandmaster, he has explained the sword-casting technique in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.

Xu Zhilan studied very seriously, and she had a strong comprehension ability, so in just a few days, she had basically mastered the essentials of sword casting.

However, after all, sword casting is a skill that practice makes perfect, and mastering theoretical knowledge is one thing, but actually forging a sword by hand is another.

Although Xu Zhilan can already forge weapons, the weapons are either blunt or inadequate, and the knives occasionally roll and crumble.

She knew that she still had to practice hard to create a weapon that was satisfactory, so she came to Kenshin every day during these days, and she never stopped for a day.

However, Yu Huiyi did not appear once. Qin Lao also heard about Yu Huiyi and Yan Shangshu's daughter-in-law, and in the first few days, he saw Xu Zhilan burning a fire next to the sword-casting furnace, his expression was focused, but he never said a word, and he couldn't help but worry that Xu Zhilan would hide everything in his heart and suffocate himself.

He also has no intention of tasting the mellowness of the wine, in his eyes, Xu Zhilan and Yu Huo Ichiro have the intention of having a concubine, no matter how you look at it, they are a pair made in heaven, they are a great match, who knows that they were beaten with a stick, it is really a pity!

He couldn't help but speak out to comfort Xu Zhilan: "As the saying goes, there is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, and everyone has their own fate!" If you are destined for him, you will always be together in the future! ”

Xu Zhilan replied: "Master don't worry about me! I'm not a child anymore, and I'm not really sad about the matter with Yu Huiyi, I haven't wanted to get married all along, I have my own plans and ambitions. What's more, in life, there are so many unsatisfactory things, if you don't see it openly, wouldn't you kill yourself! Just get started with the things at hand! I just want to learn martial arts well now, and at the same time learn the master's swordsmithing skills! ”

"You mean what you mean? Don't be reckless in front of the master? ”

"Of course it's true! I just want to master the art of swordsmithing right now. As the saying goes, a famous teacher produces a high apprentice, and the blue is better than the blue, as a disciple of the master, I can't disgrace your old man in the future! One day, I'm going to build a sword that's even more powerful than the Yuqing Sword! ”

"Humph! If you want to surpass your current level as a teacher, I'm afraid you will have to practice for another ten or eight years! Qin Lao saw that her eyes were firm, although she couldn't forge a good weapon yet, it was good to have this ambition.

Xu Zhilan pouted his bulging cheeks, and said with a sweet smile: "So, apprentice, I have no distractions at present, and I don't have the mind to be depressed." The apprentice has very high requirements for himself, and I must first forge a sharp sword! ”

I didn't expect her to be so open-minded at a young age and so energetic in the matter of forging swords, Qin Lao was relieved, raised his wine glass and tasted it while saying to Xu Zhilan carefully:

"If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and the master has also cast a sword for most of his life to have today's level. Although you have memorized the steps and methods of forging a sword, you still have no work in your hands, and the sword you cast is either thin or dull. As the saying goes, 'when you enter the door, you must first knock on the iron for three years', forging is the basic skill that swordsmen must be familiar with, and this process is to sharpen the sword, from coarse grinding to fine grinding, it often takes a long time. A good swordsman must also be a good blacksmith. You girl, don't be impetuous, just practice striking iron first! ”

Xu Zhilan kept it in mind, and spent a lot of time striking iron every day after that, until his hands were soft and numb.

Although tired but fulfilling, when she operated on patients as a "first sister in surgery" in her previous life, she was often busy in front of the hospital bed for more than ten hours, which was not much easier than striking iron.

After a few days, someone came to the palace, saying that the Queen Mother missed Miss Xu very much, so she came to Xu Mansion to spread the word, hoping that Miss Xu would go to the palace to visit the Queen Mother and her old man when she was free.

Xu Zhilan then remembered that she had promised the Queen Mother that she would visit her often before leaving, and she had been in Jianxin for the past few days, but she forgot about it.

I didn't expect the queen mother to really care for her, and I was a little unhappy in my heart, so I got up early to freshen up and dress up, got into the carriage, and went to the palace.

Arriving at the palace, the pavilions and corridors, the palaces and courtyards are all hung with colorful lanterns, a prosperous and lively scene.

There are many types and shapes of lamps, including pagoda lamps, fish lamps, eagle lamps, and ...... And it is colorful, Ambilight, there are calligraphy, paintings, lantern riddles, it is very beautiful.

Xu Zhilan was very curious, and he didn't know what grand events were going on in the palace.

Soon arrived at the He'an Palace, and it was also full of lights.

Xu Zhilan walked into the hall, said hello to the Queen Mother, and then sat down as a guest.
