Chapter 566: Handmade Bracelets
Sure enough, on the second day, the craftsman entered the palace again, sent the drawings and the bracelet that had been preliminarily polished, drew the pattern with a colored pen, and also sent a pair of fine tools.
This set of tools is very complete, all of them are some carving knives, very fine, well-made, it can be seen that this should be the craftsman's own use on weekdays.
"The queen is versatile, but these tools are very delicate and very sharp, the queen must be careful when carving, if you hurt the queen mother's hand, I am afraid that my head will not be saved."
The craftsman was obviously still very worried that Guan Tongshu looked like such a weak woman, but these jobs were originally delicate work, which required patience and concentration, and the force on his hand was slightly improperly controlled, and this carving knife could easily cut his hand.
"Sir, you can rest assured, these tools can be seen to be very sophisticated, and properly maintained, presumably Mr. is extremely cherished on weekdays, the palace is just borrowed for use, and after the carving of this bracelet is completed, it will definitely be returned to you in full form, but do not reveal it to the emperor before the completion of this bracelet."
Guan Tongshu was very surprised with these tools, looking at the transparent texture of this bracelet, she knew at a glance that it was a good material, and her jewelry was also very much, and the jewelry left by Eniang before entering the palace was also very fine.
After entering the palace, the emperor also rewarded her with a lot of jewelry, but the jade as transparent as this bracelet, she saw it for the first time, and she must have looked very good on Qin Zhao's hand.
After the craftsman said goodbye, Guan Tongshu couldn't wait, this box is also very delicately designed, it is estimated that the craftsman himself set it up, the box is made of peach wood, and it exudes a faint fragrance, and the outside is coated with a layer of red paint, and the fine carving on it is breathtaking.
Even each carved knife in it is engraved with fine patterns, Guan Tongshu is full of praise when she holds it in her hand, and this bracelet is made of good cotton cloth, tightly wrapped and placed in the box.
Guan Tongshu ordered someone to bring a basin of water, cleaned his hands well, and then picked up the bracelet, for fear of leaving a mark on it, Guan Tongshu looked at the fine patterns that had been painted on it, what she had to do was not particularly difficult, as long as these patterns were carved, this bracelet would be considered complete, as long as the craftsman polished it, it could be given to Qin Zhao.
Thinking of Qin Zhao's appearance when he wore this bracelet, Guan Tongshu's heart was full of expectations.
"Mother, what are you doing here? How can you do such a dangerous job yourself? ”
The palace maid who was waiting on the side, saw Guan Tongshu washing her hands with interest, opened the box, and saw this bracelet, but she didn't expect Guan Tongshu to carve it by herself, and she was immediately shocked, the palace maid who was waiting for the queen's mother, who didn't know how much the emperor loved the queen's mother, this tool was so dangerous, if Guan Tongshu accidentally bumped and injured her hand, she was afraid that the emperor would blame them
Guan Tongshu heard the palace maid next to her shouting, but she didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, picked up the bracelet and put it in her hand, and weighed it carefully, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this workmanship was exquisite.
"Don't worry, these carved memories, I was fortunate to learn a little from a master when I was a child, although it is not exquisite, but it will not hurt my hands."
Guan Tongshu said calmly, the palace maid on the side is not good to listen to, say something more, after all, Guan Tongshu is her master, Guan Tongshu is still carefully serving this thing in her hand, this set of tools is really exquisite, and it is also very practical, this bracelet is bright in color, it looks extraordinarily transparent, and she likes it very much when she holds it herself.
However, Guan Tongshu soon found that he was too full of words, he did sneak out of the house and learn some carving skills from an old grandfather outside, but it was only for a few days, so naturally there was no effect.
Now this set of tools is so exquisite, she accidentally cut her hand, watching the blood flow out of the palm, Guan Tongshu was a little helpless, took a small handkerchief from the side, and gently wiped the blood on her hand.
"Queen Mother, the slave maid just said that you should be careful, now that your hand is injured, don't do these jobs anymore, don't you have a special craftsman to take care of these? If the emperor sees that your hand is injured, how distressed he must be! ”
The maids on the side saw that Guan Tongshu's hands were injured, and their faces instantly turned pale, they have been doing things in the palace for a long time, and these harem concubines have always been very precious in this palace, and they have to ask for them where they are injured a little, not to mention how much the queen mother has been favored by the emperor today.
And the wound on Guan Tongshu's hand is not small, the blood is about to stain the veil red, and the palace maid is naturally very afraid.
"Don't reveal half a sentence to the emperor about this matter, this palace is polishing this bracelet here, originally to give the emperor a Jingxi, you don't want to break your mouth and don't spread it."
Guan Tongshu didn't care if her wound hurt or not, this is just a normal thing for him, although she has not suffered any injuries since entering the palace, but before entering the palace, she is very lively, playing around every day, and always likes to contact some new things, how can she not get hurt when she learns a craft?
She had long been accustomed to it, and she was not worried about her hands, but she was worried that if Qin Zhao knew about this surprise in advance, it would not be so big.
"The slave knows."
After the little maid replied to Guan Tongshu, a basin and a wooden box came to the right end, the wooden box, which contained some gold sore medicine, Guan Tongshu put her hand into the water basin, gently washed her hand, and with the help of the palace maid, put some gold sore medicine on the wound, and the blood finally stopped.
After dealing with the wound, Guan Tongshu picked up the bracelet again, took the tool in his hand, followed the stripes drawn by the craftsman, carved little by little, carved carefully, and did not dare to slack off at all, and finally completed a little bit of work.
Picking it up and looking at it, this bracelet shimmered warmly under the sun, Guan Tongshu couldn't help but praise in her heart, this piece of jade is so transparent, it must be worn on Qin Zhao's body, it can attract blessings for Qin Zhao, and it can also bring good luck to the imperial court.
Ignoring the palace maid's dissuasion, Guan Tongshu lit a kerosene lamp on the workbench, carving little by little under the faint light, Qin Zhao was busy with business, but he didn't have much time to disturb her here.
Guan Tongshu was happy to be idle, and spent several days carving only a jade bracelet here, at the same time, the speed of the craftsman was even faster, a set of hand ornaments has been built, three hairpins have been completed, and the final bracelet has been carved for most of it.
Guan Tongshu was even more anxious when she heard the progress, after all, this craftsman has craftsmanship, and she has completed such a large amount of work in such a short period of time, she only hopes that when this set of jewelry is completed, the bracelet in her hand has also been completed.
