Chapter 158: Oath Lacks Blade
Qing'er was pleasantly surprised to get back the diamond and promised: "Good, good!" ”
After a moment of joy, Qing'er raised her head dissatisfiedly and said, "Shizi, you are also a bad person!" How can this be counted? There are many, many noodles! ”
Zheng Sheng's face was full of helplessness, "Be careful, you can count it." And you only have time for this morning training. Let's count! If you give up, let the sniff come. She counted, and it was hers! ”
Hearing this, Qing'er hurriedly picked it up nervously and counted it in a low voice.
After returning from the morning training, Zheng Sheng saw Qing'er's unhappy face and knew the result, but he still pretended not to know and asked, "Count?" ”
Qing'er nodded and shook her head, and then cried sadly: "Shizi, I have counted several times, but the numbers counted each time are different, they are 56, 60, 58, 59, how many sides does it have?" ”
Zheng Sheng was helpless against this careless girl, "You must be in the majority, the number is missing, do you want to continue?" ”
Qing'er shook her head and said with some frustration: "Don't count!" I can't count. ”
"In that case, you go to the warehouse and pick out a few white glass you like!"
Qing'er nodded excitedly, "Well, the son of the world is the best!" ”
……
"Because it is incomparably hard and can be stored for a long time, it can symbolize ...... Something super-powerful, like power, wealth. Owning a diamond can be a sign of sorts. So as long as we do it a little bit, it will definitely be favored by the world. In addition, diamonds can have many meanings. For example, to be simple and pure, honest and loyal; Do things unremittingly and move forward; Be loyal and selfless to your lover and friends; When you are alone, you can feel calm, emotionally relaxed, and so on. ”
Zheng Wen exhaled lightly, "Ke Wu, you really brought me another surprise." But is this diamond really so magical? ”
"Of course, this is the hardest thing in the world, and it is a strange thing that can be passed down from generation to generation!"
Zheng Wen left tiredly.
And Zheng Sheng is like having experienced the big test in his previous life again, his whole body is uncomfortable and tired.
Diamonds were undoubtedly deeply questioned by Zheng Wen. When Zheng Wen came back, it was the time when Liu Wen'er counted the facets of the diamond. Therefore, the diamond she just got in her hand was taken as a real object by Zheng Sheng for demonstration.
As a result, Zheng Wen still couldn't accept Zheng Sheng's view that "diamonds are much more precious than white glass".
And Zheng Sheng couldn't convince him, so the two could only suspend the "meeting" for the time being.
After a short break, Zheng Sheng took out a piece of paper and wrote down some of the staccato thoughts he had just thought of on it.
Liu Wen'er brought tea and stood aside. When Zheng Sheng put down the pen, she said softly: "Shizi." ”
"What's wrong?" Zheng Sheng picked up the teacup and asked strangely.
"That diamond, it's too valuable. I can't ask for it. She said softly.
Zheng Sheng frowned, thinking that maybe she had heard his "pricing" of the diamond just now, and then was frightened by that number, "This is your prize, don't you want it?" Then, you also go to the warehouse to choose a few pieces of white glass? White glass is also a million-dollar thing, and white glass is easy to break! As long as this diamond is not lost, it will never break, how good is that! ”
“…… That's it! Liu Wei'er said softly in her heart.
At night, in the dim light, Liu Wei'er, who was holding a diamond, was in a daze.
"Sniff!" Qing'er bounced into her room.
After the Qingzhu Academy was built, they also moved to the back mountain of the academy with Zheng Sheng. However, there are more rooms, and the two of them don't have to squeeze into the same house, they have their own independent space. Although, there is not much secrecy between them.
Liu Wei'er hurriedly hid the things in his hand.
Qing'er held two beads the size of an adult's thumb in her hand, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Sniff, I took five from the storeroom, give you two." ”
"Qing'er, it's all yours, I already have that diamond." Liu Wei'er refused.
"I feel like Shizi is lying to us! You see, this white glass is bigger than a diamond, and it is also very beautiful. I can't count them, but I can get five white glass beads. It's much better than getting diamonds by counting clearly! Qing'er said with a smile.
"I don't want to. This is what the Son of the World gave you. Liu Wei'er refused.
"But I have five! You only have one, and I will divide you two, so it's fair. ”
Liu Wei'er was suddenly moved and ashamed. She pushed it back to her: "I can't ask for it. These white glasses are easy to break, but diamonds are not. So, you have five, I only have one. It won't be fair if you divide my stuff again! ”
When they divided the "spoils", Zheng Shengzheng explained the knife to Miss Wen with a helpless face: "I'll give you the knife early tomorrow morning, how about it?" ”
Wen Xiaoting looked at him suspiciously: "You are lying to me again, the time it takes for a good knife to be forged is not short!" ”
Zheng Sheng said angrily: "You are in a hurry to ask me for compensation, and now you are questioning the quality of the knife, what do you want me to do?" ”
Wen Xiaoting glanced at him silently, turned around and left.
"Alright, I promise to give you a knife tomorrow that will satisfy you." Zheng Sheng shouted at her back.
Wen Xiaoting paused, and after a while, she said softly in a voice the size of a mosquito: "Thank you." ”
Zheng Sheng didn't hear her words, so naturally he wouldn't be suspicious of the question of whether Yu Wen Xiaoting was "crossed" or "transferred".
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he decided to exchange a few knives.
Exchanging weapons has always been a forbidden area that he dare not touch. Except for those two*, Zheng Sheng had only exchanged daggers twice. The first dagger, Zheng Sheng transferred to Wen Wei, and now his whereabouts are unknown.
Although only two exchanges were made, Zheng Sheng had a deeper understanding of the exchange mechanism. For the first time, he exchanged iron ore for almost thirty dollars. The second time was wrought iron forged in the Iron Smelting Valley, and this time the exchange ratio was sixteen.
He found a better path than exchanging steel to make steel knives.
And he knew that as long as the blacksmiths could forge better wrought iron, the exchange ratio would be lower than it was now.
But Zheng Sheng also understands that he is now in a state where he sits on a treasure mountain, but can only watch.
Iron deficiency is one thing, and the Tiger Guard Battalion's change of outfit is another consideration, which may cause trouble.
He will continue to endure.
Zheng Sheng went out, went to the warehouse, took 100 catties of wrought iron, and put them in his private parts.
Just as he was about to go to bed, Wang Zhong and Zheng Wen came together.
Zheng Sheng, who looked confused, didn't ask, Wang Zhong said the purpose of their trip: "Shizi, what are you going to do with the 100 catties of wrought iron just now?" ”
Zheng Sheng blinked: "It's nothing." ”
Zheng Wen said earnestly: "Kewu, now that we are in a bad situation, we have to ask for a pound of iron and a liter of grain in the warehouse. To accumulate wealth, we must open up sources and reduce expenditure, this is throttling! ”
Zheng Sheng nodded, "Okay, you did the right thing." I, don't take it as an example, okay? ”
Wang Zhong and Zheng Wen glanced at each other, "Okay." For example, if you really need something from the treasury in the future, you just need to explain the reason to the storehouse. ”
Zheng Sheng nodded earnestly. He doesn't blame them, this rule is for him, for everyone, for the sake of this land.
But after the two left, Zheng Sheng thought with a bitter face, what should he do in the future? Something that uses the storeroom directly? Or is it a justification for the use?
Obviously, none of these practices are advisable.
Zheng Sheng sighed, did he really want to build another small private treasury? Is it the kind of small private treasury that is only responsible for him and can be used at will?
But where does he have the way to run such a private treasury now?
As the night fell, Zheng Sheng temporarily stopped his fluttering thoughts and went to sleep.
In the exchange space, wrought iron was put on, and Zheng Sheng said silently in his heart: "Exchange ...... Wen Xiaoting's knife-style, the most excellent quality steel knife. ”
A steel knife emerges on the tray. Then, a second and a third appeared on the pallet......
Zheng Sheng hurriedly added conditions, "Only exchange...... Three. The second and third hand, change the decoration on the wrist guard and knife handle, and change the phoenix pattern to cloud pattern... No, it's patterned! ”
The next day, looking at the three small and delicate short knives, Zheng Sheng picked them up, and the first feeling was that the total weight of the knife with sheath would not exceed five catties.
The style of this knife is no different from an ordinary ring-head knife, but compared with the real ring-head knife, it is short, light, and slender, after all, it is a gift from Wenyang to her daughter, a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl's carrying.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Zheng Sheng, where's my knife? Zheng Sheng, haven't you woken up yet? Zheng Sheng, you are such a big liar! ”
Listening to the voice, Zheng Sheng knew who it was. He walked a few steps quickly, then suddenly remembered, and quickly checked the knife in his hand, which was the handle of the moire. He went back to the bed and put on the correct one.
Zheng Shengshi opened the door and motioned for the three people outside the door to come in.
Wen Xiaoting's anger was dispelled by the knife in Zheng Sheng's hand, but the knife made her more familiar the more she looked at it, "Zheng Sheng, you stole my knife?" ”
The words of gratitude did not wait, but were suspected again, but Zheng Sheng couldn't lose his temper: he was already familiar with this crazy girl's routine, not surprised, not surprised......
Zheng Sheng silently handed her the knife.
In her hand, Wen Xiaoting finally recognized the facts, this was not her knife.
Zheng Sheng turned around and took the remaining two handfuls and handed them to Qing'er and Liu Wei'er: "Oh, I asked people to build three, and the two of you should also have one each!" ”
Qing'er shrank behind Liu Wu'er, "Don't, I don't want it." ”
"With this knife, you can defend yourself, and you can even protect me!" Zheng Sheng seduced her.
Qing'er was unmoved, "No, as long as there is a son to protect me, it is enough." I don't want it, it's so heavy! ”
Zheng Sheng had no choice but to take back the unwelcome gift, he looked to the other side, but Liu Wei'er was caressing the blade of the knife and was silent.
She accepted?
At this time, Wen Xiaoting raised her head, "Zheng Sheng, thank you." This knife is good! Well, it's not worse than mine! ”
Zheng Sheng smiled: "Then you choose a name for it, you can't say this knife and that knife in the future, it's too easy to confuse!" ”
Wen Xiaoting nodded, thought for a while and said, "'Missing blade'!" I was able to get it because the knife was broken and missing. ”
Zheng Sheng responded, "Not bad, missing blades? It's a meaningful name. Sniff, what about you? ”
Liu Wei'er said softly: "The prince just said, I hope it can help me protect the prince, then call it 'swear'!" I vow to protect the son of the world for the rest of my life. ”
