Chapter Twenty-Seven: Making Fireworks
Di Jiushu's eyes moved slightly, and his gaze slipped off her shoulder.
The sweeping gaze made Ji Yunxiao suddenly vigilant, and secretly took half a small step back, trying to divert his gaze.
Rong Xunxiu beside her frowned slightly, and couldn't help but call again: "Lord Wang? ”
"In the future, I'll run outside when I'm optimistic about the weather!" As the words fell, the inky oil-paper umbrella was handed to her.
Ji Yun was stunned for a moment, and after understanding that he was saying this to himself, he was even more embarrassed.
Although he is indeed a subordinate in his house now, he can't just scold her in front of Miss Rong Xun.
Here, the minions don't need to maintain any face problems, but her natural stubbornness makes her learn not to bow her head.
As soon as he lost face, he completely ignored the expression on Di Jiushu's face at this time, and naturally missed the flash of mercy in his eyes.
He dragged the umbrella in his hand as if he was angry, "Slave retire!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked away with the raindrops.
"Lord Wang, the night boy seems to be angry." Seeing his back go away, Rong Xun couldn't help but look at the expression on Di Jiushu's face.
Is it a delusion?
Just now she actually saw a trace of concern in his eyes.
It was a pity he had never shown to himself.
Is the prince concerned about the night boy?
Thinking of this, Rong Xun couldn't hide the loss on his face.
She seemed a little jealous of the person who could be by his side all the time.
If it was placed in normal times, the observant Emperor Jiushu would definitely be able to see Rong Xun's thoughts at a glance, but his mind now seemed to be occupied by the back of the hidden anger leaving just now.
Therefore, he took the umbrella in Rong Xun's hand with one hand, and only said lightly, "This flower is a little wet." ”
"But it's even more glamorous." Rong Xun stopped the peony flowers he was about to throw away, looked at him with a look of hope, and cautiously begged: "Can the prince wear it for his courtiers?" ”
Emperor Jiushu picked up the flowers and planted them for her. Inlet room. A shy smile spread across her blushing face, and she looked at him expectantly, "Is it good-looking?" ”
Emperor Jiushu pursed his lips, looked at it carefully, and then nodded invisibly.
After receiving his praise, Rong Xun was even more happy in his heart, and his little face was also more beautiful against the backdrop of peony flowers.
But Di Jiushu was indifferent, and his eyes glanced at the faint green lotus next to the peony bush.
The dark blue back just now involuntarily flashed in his mind.
The peony flower is indeed beautiful, but it is too delicate, and it will be destroyed by a drizzle. The broken flowers fall and break the branches.
…………
Ji Yunxiao came back with an umbrella, but she frightened the young girl who was packing up in the house.
"Childe, why are you raining?" She remembers placing her umbrella on the stone table by the railing when she was leaving.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at the umbrella in Ji Yunxiao's hand. "It's ......"
"This is the prince's umbrella, you can return it later." When she thought of Di Jiushu yelling at her in front of outsiders just now, she couldn't hide her anger, and she couldn't swallow this breath!
When the little girl Qingqing heard this, she opened her mouth in surprise: "Wang ...... The king's? "Childe has an umbrella and doesn't need it, how can he come back with the prince's umbrella?
Ji Yun smiled but didn't want to mention what happened just now, and shook the raindrops between the tips of his hair, the change of this clothes, the last time the divination had lost his vitality, such a weak body was not as good as before.
In case of typhoid stroke or something, it's worth it!
"Go get some grinding." Ji Yunxiao took a piece of clothing and walked to the back room.
The little girl Qingqing has been serving Ji Yunxiao for the past few days, and she also has some understanding of some of her habits, for example, Childe doesn't like to have someone keep vigil when she sleeps, and she doesn't like to be served by others to bathe and change clothes, and she doesn't like others to use her placed things!
So after listening to Ji Yunxiao's arrangement, I didn't ask her to help her bathe and change clothes, but obediently went to the desk to grind.
Ji Yunxiao changed his clothes, sat at the desk, picked up the pen and began to compose smoothly.
Pieces of paper covered with black ink were stacked on the side, and the grinding little girl looked at it curiously.
It's just that the strips on the paper are staggered, and there are some small dots, and even some iconic symbols are marked on the side.
I didn't see a name for a long time, so I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Childe, what are you painting?" ”
Ji Yunxiao just finished drawing the last picture, blew the ink that left the traces, and mysteriously hooked the corners of his mouth: "You'll know later!"
"Huh?" The little girl is even more curious now. Resistant.
"In the capital, which one does the best fireworks?"
"This slave knows! There are three major fireworks in the capital, namely the Li family, the Sun family and the Zhou family, these are all famous fireworks merchants in the capital, and even the fireworks needed for the annual celebration in the palace are purchased from these three families. The little girl said with some pride.
"Okay, you go to the wood steward now, and ask him to bring me all the stewards of these three families."
"Does Childe want to set off fireworks?" However, there's nothing to celebrate lately, not to mention, even if you really want to put it, you won't invite all three of you in, right?
Ji Yunxiao flicked his finger lightly on her head: "What do you think, you go to the wood butler, as long as you tell him that it is related to Miss Rong Xun's birthday gift, he will do it." ”
Since Emperor Jiushu handed over this matter to her to arrange, he must have informed the wood butler in advance. The wood butler cares so much about his prince, as long as it is related to Emperor Jiushu, he will definitely not postpone it.
"Is that really going to work?" Qingqing is still a little unsure.
"Go ahead, if it really doesn't work, I will go over and tell the prince in person."
"Okay, the slave will do it immediately!" After getting Ji Yunxiao's assurance, the little girl went down to do things!
Sure enough, not long after the afternoon, the wooden butler led three outsiders over.
"Ye Gongzi, these are the three people who make fireworks in the capital, Li Zeyun, Sun Ru, and Zhou Jianxiang...... The old slave has already brought these three people over according to what Childe said, I don't know what Childe is going to do? ”
"There's no rush for now." Ji Yunxiao sat at the table and swept over the three of them one by one, these three seemed to be some businessmen, so he took a sip of tea, "When it comes to pyrotechnic manufacturing, the three of you are indeed extraordinary, but I want to know what you are best at?" ”
"This ......" The three of them looked at each other, not understanding what she wanted to do when she asked.
"Since I'm asking you this, there must be a reason for me, you don't have to give in to each other, just tell the truth what you're good at."
"If you go back to Gongzi, the three of us are indeed comparable in fireworks, but when it comes to what we are good at...... the distance" The older man stood up, paused, and continued: "The Li family pays attention to texture, the Sun family prefers color, and our Zhou family emphasizes more on-the-ground vision. ”
"That's good! I want you to make a firework that you may not have touched before, would you like to try it? ”
"If Childe has any good design, you might as well say it directly." is still an older person, and now he can almost see the purpose of Ji Yunxiao looking for them.
"Look, everybody." Ji Yunxiao pointed to the stack of papers placed next to his hand, and those people leaned over and distributed these sketches to everyone.
The three of them were stunned, "This ...... This is really the most beautiful fireworks that the old man has ever seen! ”
"The design is beautiful, the composition is clever, and it is truly unique!"
These two sentences of admiration also aroused the curiosity of the carpenter, and he couldn't help but come over and pick up a drawing casually and look at it.
Although he is not as professional as these three bosses, he can also appreciate an extraordinary uniqueness from the exquisite composition!
The elder Boss Zhou couldn't help but marvel when he saw it, but he soon realized a problem and asked, "Does Childe just want us to do this?" ”
"Boss Zhou is right." Ji Yunxiao stood up, "I just want to gather the strength of the three bosses and create this kind of thing." ”
"This ......" The three of them looked embarrassed when they heard this, but they looked at the drawings regrettably, and reluctantly put them down.
"What, Boss Zhou is unwilling?"
"Alas, it's not that the old man is unwilling, but the old man has been operating fireworks for generations, whether it is ancestral or later, he has never seen this type of fireworks, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on a big job."
"Boss Zhou hasn't tried it, so how do you know if you can take it? What's more, I'm here to ask only the three bosses if they'd like to try it with you. To tell you the truth, I have never seen this kind of fireworks, but because the prince told me to prepare a special thing, I wanted to try this on a whim, are the three bosses really willing to give up this opportunity, hold the old fireworks, and live a life of ordinary life? ”
"You mean, you made this sketch?" Boss Li listened to her words and asked in surprise.
"Exactly." Ji Yun smiled and nodded.
"Hahaha, you have never been in contact with the pyrotechnic industry, but you have such a breakthrough creation, if I am shirking, wouldn't I be cowardly and retreat, and humiliate my family business!" Lin Zeyun smiled bitterly a few times, and then resolutely took the case, "Okay! The old man is willing to join! ”
"Second child, you ......" Boss Sun bowed his head and opened his eyes wide.
"The second brother is right, and the old man also joined!" Boss Zhou reluctantly looked at the drawing paper on the table, and after making up his mind, he seemed to have a new expectation!
"You ......" Boss Sun didn't expect Boss Zhou to join so soon.
"Boss Sun, what are you decided?" There are already two big bosses who have joined, and Ji Yunxiao is already very pleased.
"Hey, that's it, the three families of Zhou, Li and Sun have always been on the same path, since the eldest brother and the second brother have joined, I will join too."
"Well, these are some drawings I drew in advance, there are all the annotations in large and small, you go back and see first, these are some small things, I believe that with the strength of the three, it will definitely be able to be made, and when these things are completed, I will send the next drawing to your house, if there is anything you don't understand, you can also find the wood housekeeper at any time, I will give you a specific answer."
