Chapter 17: The overly feminine fiancé
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the house, I saw the housekeeper Li Yan just returning to the house, and hurriedly got out of the car to call him.
"The old slave has seen Childe, Miss, I wonder where Childe has gone?" The body blank is the same as his son Li Yuanfang, he is also tall and strong, although his temples are frosty, but his eyes are still full of tiger and tiger power, Li Yan is really a tiger father and no dog, at least the father and son stand out, and they have the posture of becoming a top door god.
It's just that his left hand was broken at the wrist, what a pity, if not, he would still be the one who charged on that battlefield.
"Steward Li doesn't have to be polite, today my sister and I went to Luoshui with the second son of the Tang Guogong, and we just came back." I walked up the stairs, motioned for Li Yan to come with me, and as I walked towards the house, I inquired about my uncle's shop.
Li Yan also answered meticulously and meticulously, and it seems that he is really a capable person who does a line of drilling.
“…… Although the shop is in North City, there are no unique objects after all, so the business is average. Why would Childe want to ask about this? After Li Yan finished answering, he looked at me with a slight discoloration.
"Well, in a few days, I'm going to visit the Tang Guogong Mansion, but unfortunately I don't have a suitable gift in my hand, so I want to ask you, in the store, are there any craftsmen who can make bamboo or carpenters who can make small objects such as jewelry boxes."
"There is such a craftsman in the shop, and he is also a subordinate in the uncle's mansion, if you want to {}{small} say 3w.ybdu to see him, the old slave will call you over." Li Yan replied respectfully.
"That's great, please go get that guy over now." When I heard the news, I couldn't help but be a little overjoyed, and I really wanted to be dozed off and someone would send a pillow, so that it would be better.
"Brother, what are you going to do as a gift, is it really a jewelry box?" The girl who had been following my ass couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you can give that thing to Li Erlang?" ”
I glanced at the girl. "Treat the wise and powerful brother as an ordinary man, don't you? Besides, do you think that guy Li Shimin will be in the mood to sit in front of the jewelry box I gave him and make a gesture in front of the mirror? ”
"Uh...... Please, brother, don't say it so disgusting, okay? Hearing this, the poor girl's little face turned pale, and stars appeared in her eyes, well, it was dizzy. It seems that the girl with a lot of imagination really can't stand an overly girly fiancé.
"That's it, do you think I'm the kind of person who is low-level and interesting? What I'm going to do for my brother is an elegant thing. I picked up the brush, took a clean white paper again, thought about it, and then began to draw things, uh, regret, the brush is a very artistic writing instrument, but used as a realistic writing tool, it is really a bit inferior, with the pen for more than ten years of water grinding work, there is no way to make this straight line completely standardized, how to look like a centipede with a missing leg.
Forget it, it's about to happen for the time being, and I'll get some quill to play with it when I have time, now. Well, I went to the carbon basin in the room and picked up a bamboo charcoal and brought it over, and then put the pressed brass paperweight on the paper, and traced it along the edge, and an almost perfect straight line appeared.
"Brother, what are you going to paint?" The girl blinked her big watery eyes and looked confused.
"Didn't you just say that? I am drawing drawings to make an elegant thing for my brother, and as long as the carpenter makes it according to the shape he drew for his brother, he will be able to make it in an hour or two at most. ”
"Really?" The girl stayed quietly by my side, watching me do it there, and soon, a detailed anatomical drawing of the folding fan took shape under Ben Gongzi's charcoal pen......
"Master Yu, it's not difficult to make such a small thing, but what is Childe going to use as a fan?" An old man in his fifties followed the housekeeper Li Yi inside, and after looking at the design drawings I handed him, he said with a look of surprise.
"I'm going to use the finest silk for the fan, and besides, the fan pendant...... Well, if you can get a trinkets made of agarwood, you can use that thing as a fan pendant. What do you think? ”
"Son, this fan needs to be made of the best silk?" Hearing this, the old craftsman couldn't help but grin secretly. "I don't know what the prince knows, even if it is a fan in the palace, it is more tulle to show lightness, you ......"
I shook my head and said solemnly: "Because the folding fan that my son wants to make is not just for cooling. But as an elegant thing that can be carried with the literati, it is natural to do a good job and do fine. Got it? ”
"The little one understands, so since that's the case, dare to ask what kind of talent does the son need to make a fan bone?" The old craftsman was very good, and although his eyes were still a little confused, and he couldn't understand how the fan had anything to do with the scholars who had been called Mencius all the time, it did not prevent him from faithfully carrying out my orders.
"Use sandalwood as a fan bone, preferably red sandalwood, can there be red sandalwood in the store?" I asked, after thinking for a moment. "As for the silk, use this." I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets with my sister and found a pale yellow satin with dark flowers about five feet long.
"Childe, this was given to the old master by His Majesty back then, are you really sure you want to use it to make that thing?" Seeing me take out this thing, Li Yan couldn't help but be taken aback.
Hearing this, I was also shocked, no wonder it seems that this piece of material is the most high-end, I can't imagine that it is actually a royal gift, or let it exert some residual heat, and dye a little bit of the characteristics of this era for the first new invention of this son's historical journey. "Steward Li, if this piece of silk is not used again, it will decay, not to mention that there is only so little left, and it is not enough to make clothes."
Hearing me say this, Li Yan nodded. "I wonder how many folding fans Childe is going to make?"
"It's okay to do it first, I have to see the effect, and if I can, I'll do it then." I thought about it, but I decided to be cautious and not to carry out the Great Leap Forward, in case it was not popular, wouldn't my son be unjustly wasting raw materials?
"The old slave understood, so he went to urge them to do it." After the loyal Li Bai gave me a long salute, he took the old craftsman out, naturally to make the fan bone first, and when the time comes, after the son checks, he will determine whether to install the fan surface.
I have to admit the wisdom and skillful hands of these ancients, and by the afternoon of the next day, the sixteen fan bones had already been presented to my eyes, and even Li Yan rushed to the shop early in the morning and retrieved a pendant made of fine agarwood.
Well, on a piece of agarwood, about an inch long and less than a centimeter and a half wide, a vivid cicada is carved, whether it is wings or small claws, you can see it. Well, I have an urge to take it as I already have, how can this thing be replaced with a low-displacement car in the future.
