Chapter 59: Why Are You So Slow
A man dressed in gray cloth hurriedly walked out of the vicinity of the City God Temple and headed in the direction of Qingfeng Academy. This person is Hu Ming, the eldest son of Old Man Hu whom Tang Yuehua saw the day before yesterday.
In the early winter season, some sweat soaked from the man's forehead, and when the sweat was about to run down his hair, he immediately wiped it on his face with his big rough hands.
The man stood at the door of Qingfeng Academy, looking at the gatekeeper at the gate of the courtyard, "May I ask Tang Mingwen's sister is here?" ”
The gatekeeper glanced at the man warily, wondering why he would ask the whereabouts of a little girl, "What do you do?" ”
"Excuse me, this is Qingfeng Academy, right?" The man looked up at the plaque on his head, but he didn't understand the words on it, so he took a few glances at the surrounding environment.
"There's nothing wrong with this being Qingfeng Academy, who are you looking for?" Since this person can say Tang Mingwen's name, he should be someone he knows.
"I, I'm looking for Tang Mingwen's sister, Tang Yuehua, they came to our house the day before yesterday, just ask us to talk." The man was a little puzzled.
"Tang Mingwen Qingfeng Academy is there, but what do you ask someone's sister to do?" The gatekeeper's eyes looked at the man inquiringly.
"That's it, I came to find his sister, and when I was tired of reporting it, I said that the old man Hu near the City God Temple came to look for her."
Originally, the janitor thought that he would give him a report when the academy people got out of school, but now he kept his original idea.
"Then you go back first, I'll inform you then, if it's your agreement, they will naturally come to you, you go back first." The janitor spoke directly to drive people away.
"But I'm going to see people now." The man looked anxious.
Between the two of them arguing, a carriage was coming in the direction of the academy, and the people in the car came one by one, one of them was wearing a power fence, and was petite, she noticed the sound of quarreling at the entrance of the academy, turned her head to take a look, and saw that the old man Hu got his son and was anxiously explaining something.
She thought of her equipment and walked over, "Uncle Hu, why are you here?" The girl's cold voice reached the ears of the two people who were arguing.
The two turned their heads to look at the girl, and Hu Ming was a little excited when he saw the main owner appear, "Miss Tang, do you have time to go to our house now." ”
"Why did you come so soon?" It's not going to be done.
"There are some issues that still need to be discussed with you, and I am in a hurry." The man didn't say what the problem was.
When the girl heard that there was a problem, she chuckled in her heart, "Okay, Uncle Hu, you wait for me here, I'll go in and get something and come out." ”
"Okay, Miss Tang, can you hurry up?" The man was a little anxious.
"Wait a moment, I'll come out right away, Sister Cui'er, can you lend me the carriage?" Tang Yuehua saw that the person who was driving the carriage was about to drive the carriage back, and now he didn't know what the situation was, hoping that the speed would be faster.
Accompanying her out today was the eldest girl Cui'er beside Mrs. Zhang, "Let's go in and talk to Mrs. "Cui'er didn't dare to make decisions on her own.
"Sister Cui'er, let's go in together, I'm going to go in those things." So saying, the two went into the inner courtyard together, and the man stood aside and waited for them to come out.
Mrs. Zhang, who was reading a book in the hall, saw the two of them coming back, "Ah Yue, you're back, why didn't you go shopping for a while today?" "They came back late yesterday.
"Master, I've been shopping almost yesterday, I need to go out later, go to meet someone near the City God Temple, can Sister Cui'er go with me?"
"Is that the one you asked them to do last time? Cui'er, you go with Miss Tang, remember to take the carriage, and come back soon. Mrs. Zhang knew that their family had asked the craftsman to make some objects, thinking that it was some kind of farm tool or something, so she didn't ask much.
Tang Yuehua got the answer, and went back to the room to get a small porcelain vase, which contained something she had made new last night, but she didn't expect it to come in handy today.
Hu Ming and the coachman sat outside, while Tang Yuehua and Cui'er were in the carriage, and when they were seated, the coachman slowly drove the horses in the direction of the City God Temple.
When they reached the mouth of the alley, the carriage could not enter, so the coachman found a place outside, and waited for them to come out.
This time, the big black dog of the Hu family did not bark, and saw that the owner Hu Ming also wagged his tail, and then lay on the ground again, guarding the gate.
When they entered the interstitial door, they saw Old Man Hu thinking about something in front of a drawing, and the dry wood with bruised muscles was holding a charcoal penil, scribbling and changing on the drawing from time to time, and his brows were tightly locked. Didn't notice the few people who came in.
"Old Hu, I don't know what you are looking for me?" The girl was the first to speak.
Hearing the voice, Old Man Hu noticed the people in the hall and looked at the girl wearing the power fence, "You are here, why are you so slow." The old man was a little dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry, I went out today." Who knew you were going to be looking for me today, didn't you say it would take a few days to do those devices?
"You girl, you can't come over, there are a few places that haven't been done well, and the effect is a little poor, you see what the problem is." Old man Hu took out a box of things and placed them on the square table in the four corners.
It had already been made, so quickly, she hurried over, the contents of the box were still glowing with some golden light, she reached out and took a blade, and took a handle of the same model, and the handle was still engraved with a simple pattern.
The handicraft of this era is really impressive, "That's it, Hu Lao, it's already very good, but the thickness of the back and blade of the knife can be thinner if it is better." She picked up a pair of tweezers and clamped the blade to the hilt, and took it in her hand to test the feel, but it was quite light.
"It's easy to say, the iron that is currently available can only be made like this, but it takes me a lot of effort. Almost, my old man's reputation is about to lose in your hands. "Thinking that I have been working day and night for the past two days.
"Thank you."
"You girl, thank you quickly, call you here is also slow, the feeling is that I am the only one who is in a hurry, and you, the main master, have leisurely wandered on the street." Old man Hu was very dissatisfied.
Didn't you dislike the construction period a few days ago that you couldn't finish it? Where do I dare to urge?
"But you don't have to thank me, just pay the money when the time comes, and no one is allowed to be less, okay, I'm going to continue researching, you can go back." Old man Hu began to drive people away.
It's really hot, "Old Hu, these things are enough at present, and the rest don't have to be in such a hurry." ”
