Chapter 119: Before the Banquet
The gift is about to be sent to the idea, Xianchen inquired, the eighth princess is good Wen Xijing, she stays in the deep palace all the year round, and the most seen is the flowers and plants in the palace, and there is the koi in the pool, she likes to be with these flowers, birds, insects and fish, and she likes to paint these flowers, birds, insects and fish, and also paints them into the wood.
This wolf pen is the fine dust entrusted to the Tong shopkeeper, to find Ji Guo pen master Luo personally made, the pen is small and delicate is the most suitable for women's hands, the wolf hair is soft and delicate, the most suitable for outlining the details, the pen head is inlaid with a little finger size of black pearls, round black bright luster dazzling for the world's treasures.
The eighth princess couldn't put it down after getting the wolf howl pen, like a treasure, but the pen in her hand, the carving skill is extraordinary, the wolf is carefully selected, and the black pearl is rare in the world, and it is indeed a treasure, "Xianchen, you really understand me." The eighth princess said gratefully.
Xianchen smiled happily, "It's good if the princess likes it." ”
The lord of Lingxi is good at martial arts, often dressed in men's clothes, with a strong and upright temperament, and women do not let their eyebrows be shaved, this little dagger of black gold and iron is the most suitable for her.
The raw materials of this dagger come from the finest iron ore in the country, and after repeated forging by the knife craftsmen, the hammered raw materials are handed over to Zheng Xuanjia, the master of Xiancheng mecha, and forged by Zheng Xuanjia himself.
Zheng Xuanjia is the most famous master of mecha and weapon forging in the Ten Kingdoms of the Great Zhou, he has already withdrawn from the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he has not been out of the mountains to make weapons for at least ten years.
The weapons made by Zheng Xuanjia are engraved with his unique openwork decorations, which outsiders generally can't imitate, and this dagger is no exception.
The county lord of Yunxi happily took the dagger in Xian Chen's hand, took it to his hand and checked it, the heavy feel was very good, and immediately, she pulled a hair strand on her head and came down to check the blade, and the blade was broken, and the county lord of Lingxi was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth in an instant, "If it's really a good dagger, it really deserves to be a master's master's masterpiece!" ”
Hearing what the county lord of Lingxi said, Xian Chen smiled, it seemed that she was a connoisseur who knew the goods, and then the county lord of Lingxi took Xian Chen's hand and asked like a secret: "Xian Chen, Master Zheng Xuanjia has not made weapons for more than ten years, where did you get this dagger?" ”
Xianchen smiled indifferently and replied, "Secret." ”
She didn't dare to say that this was a small weapon that Zheng Xuanjia made for her when she had nothing to do, if she exposed her relationship with Zheng Xuanjia at this moment, wouldn't it be equivalent to exposing her identity?
Zheng Xuanjia is now living in seclusion in Xiancheng, this old man is a naughty boy, he likes Xianchen very much, and he regards Xianchen as his own daughter-in-law, and maybe he will also see Xianchen as his future daughter-in-law, it's not impossible, who knows? Anyway, she's very good at Slim Dust.
This old man has long stopped forging weapons to the outside world, and it is more difficult for outsiders to ask him to go out of the mountain to build a weapon than to ascend to the sky, but he is different for Xianchen.
This old man likes to forge a few small weapons to give to Xian Chen, and he also tailor-made two unique weapons for Xian Chen, one is the "Zimu Meniscus Knife" that Xian Chen once used for Ah Feng, and the other is the syringe launcher used by Xian Chen when he subdued Murumtu in Jiaozhou, which is called "Ten Complete Embroidery Tubes."
The ingenuity of this secret weapon is that it uses the needle used by the women to embroider as a weapon, a needle the size of a finger, the power of the poisonous needle shot out is amazing, a small embroidery needle, as long as it is put into the needle, just press the mechanism to shoot the embroidery needle, the speed, that strength, comparable to a dagger shot out by a person with deep internal strength, easily penetrate the skin.
The last time on the street, when Xian Chen shot the horse of the county lord of Leyun, she used the poisonous needle she hid in her wrist and shot out of the perfect embroidery tube.
Master Zheng Xuanjia's weapons are no longer easy to find on the market now, and only luck can be encountered on the black market, and the county lord of Lingxi asked again: "Xianchen, are you looking for it in the underground black market?" Tell me which black market you searched for, and I'll do it too. ”
Lingxi's father, Situ Leng, used to be a general, and he liked to collect weapons made by Master Zheng Xuanjia the most, and the Lingxi county lord thought that he would also go to the black market to find a treasure, in case he also found a weapon made by Master Zheng, and the condition was so new, and then gave it to his father, his father would be very happy.
Seeing the persistence in the eyes of the Lingxi County Lord, Xian Chen knew that if he didn't give the Lingxi County Lord an answer today, he was afraid that he would be so entangled by her that he couldn't even walk, so he said, "I'm looking for it in Xiancheng." ”
This is a half-truth, it is true that this dagger is indeed from Xiancheng, and the fake thing is that she did not go to find it, it was given to her by Master Zheng.
If you let those warriors who like to collect Zheng Xuanjia's weapons know that Zheng Xuanjia likes to give Xianchen some small weapons such as daggers, hidden weapons or something when he is fine, I don't know how envious and jealous they are for Xianchen.
Jiaozhou is close to Xiancheng, and it is not impossible for Xianchen to go to Xiancheng to find Master Zheng's weapon, and the quality and condition of this dagger are new and good, and it is not like it can be found in the black market in other places.
Xiancheng is too far away, it is really not easy to go to Xiancheng, Lingxi County Lord was deflated at once, lowered her head, bit her lip and was a little disappointed, and then, she suddenly raised her head again, as if she already had an idea in her heart, "Xian Chen, when I have time, I will also go to Xiancheng, and I will also go to find a weapon from Master Zheng's hand that is in such good condition." ”
Belch......
Dust ......
This seems to be a bit difficult, Xian Chen thought so in his heart, but there was a smile on his face: "County Lord, if you want to go to Xiancheng, set a time and tell me, I am from Jiaozhou and familiar with Xiancheng, maybe we can go together." ”
"Good!" Lord Lingxi replied happily.
The eighth princess's eyes were full of envy, "When will I be able to be at ease outside the palace!" ”
"Marry someone, marry someone who likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, let him take you out of the palace, and take you all over the country!" Dust Road.
Get married?
Hahaha......
As the sun set, a golden red was sprinkled, and the three girls held hands, smiling and smiling, and walked towards the Taihe Palace.
There are Lingxi County Lord and the eighth princess by Xianchen's side, like Xia Yiren, Qiu Xianglian and other women who don't like Xianchen are also very knowledgeable, and they didn't go to find Xianchen's stubble at this time.
It seems that the weather is calm today, but it is not.
Just as the three of them stepped into the gate of the Taihe Palace, a noble lady came to them.
The lady's makeup is exquisite, the heavy makeup of the dinner party is just right, the willow eyebrows are deeply drawn, the apricot eyes are watery, but the water in the apricot eyes is like a pool of stagnant water and lifeless, the begonia rouge carefully modifies her soft cheeks, making her thin and thin face look layered, and the thin red lips add some mysterious sex appeal under the irradiation of the setting sun.
The woman was dressed in a water-patterned gold silk light gauze satin dress and a beaded crown on her head, and her imposing attitude was imposing, and she knew at a glance that her status was noble.
The woman walked up to them, looked at Xian Chen's body, and asked Xian Chen, "Are you Ran Xian Chen?" The woman's voice was gentle, but with obvious warning and disdain.
Xianchen stared at the woman, thinking to herself, who is this person? I don't seem to know her, so why would she come to give me a disadvantage?
When Xianchen was suspicious, he heard the eighth princess and the county lord of Lingxi bow to the woman in unison, "King Jing's side concubine." ”
Immediately, Xianchen understood that King Jing's side concubine Hu Shi, the sister of the second miss of the Hu family who liked Gu Ziyi and sent her maidservant Xiaoju to persuade her to sell the yard.
Seeing that she was not good, Xian Chen also guessed in her heart that there was a chance that the maid Xiaoju must be talking nonsense after returning home, and poured a lot of dirty water on herself, and this dirty water also involved the body of this side concubine, otherwise, just because she is the side concubine of King Jing, she will not come to make things difficult for herself at this time.
Xianchen's face did not change color, his heart did not beat, and a treacherous plan came to his heart, "It turned out to be the side concubine of His Royal Highness King Jing, it is really better to be famous than to see it, and I have admired it for a long time." ”
The eighth princess and the county lord of Lingxi all bowed to King Jing, the side concubine, and only Xianchen exaggerated to the side concubine of King Jing, which was quite a bit of a river and lake.
King Jing's side concubine was slightly stunned, when did her reputation become so big, and this girl actually used words like "famous is not as good as seeing it" and "looking up for a long time" on herself?
"What do you mean?" King Jing's side concubine asked.
Xian Chen said in an admiring tone: "Most of the girls who came to the courtyard to talk to me about buying and selling the courtyard that day were cautious, they all hid on the side of the corner of the courtyard, and only after seeing that there was no one around me did they see the opportunity to act, and rushed to my side to inquire about the price of the courtyard.
Only Hu Mansion, Xiao Ju, the maidservant of King Jing's sister, has courage and knowledge, and has the momentum of a heroine, and she came to me with great righteousness and awe, and confidently asked me to sell the yard in my hand to her, and also moved out of King Jing's side concubine, saying that if I don't sell the courtyard to the second lady of the Hu family, King Jing's side concubine will not spare me.
The girl of Hu Mansion has the courage to report her family so that Xian Chen admires, naturally, Xian Chen also admires the bearing of Concubine Jing to support her sister, it seems that Concubine Jing is here to ask Xian Chen today? ”
What do you mean? How could what Ran Xianchen said be completely different from what Xiao Ju said to her second sister? King Jing's side concubine stared at Xian Chen, as if she wanted to see through Xian Chen.
If the belly is black, Xian Chen's heart does not change, and she is calm, and the concubine of King Jing, who has been fighting in King Jing's mansion for several years, can not see a flaw in Xian Chen's body.
"What you said is true?" King Jing's concubine asked suspiciously.
"True is true, false is false, I say true is not true, I say fake is not false, is it true or false, the side concubine asked me why not ask a few other parties."
Xianchen's pretense of being mysterious, seemingly unscrupulous but ambiguous, made King Jing's side concubine inexplicably trust her in her heart.
Who is lying between Xiao Ju and Xian Chen? Concubine Jing was unsure for a while, and she wanted to deliberately make things difficult for Xianchen, but now she doesn't seem to be in a hurry, and she will talk about it after she knows the truth.
Concubine Jing's side concubine was spinning in her head, there were many girls who liked King Rui Gu Ziyi, but after the lord of Leyun County took advantage of the situation and scratched the face of the girl who gave Gu Ziyi a sachet, those girls from the family were afraid that the lord of Leyun County would go crazy, so everyone was careful and secretly liked Gu Ziyi, no one dared to admit her love for Gu Ziyi in front of people, where did she go to find a person?
King Jing's side concubine stared at the fine dust, and snorted condescendingly, "Hmph, the parties, you report the names of a few parties to me." ”
"I'm sorry, concubine, these are trade secrets, I have nothing to say."
Xian Chen's words were heard by Concubine Jing Wang with two meanings, one was of course literal, and the other was that those buyers asked Xian Chen to keep it secret, and Xian Chen really kept it secret for them, only her stupid sister liked Gu Ziyi, but she still didn't know it.
