Chapter 090: Emerald Feather
Mei Qingqian took three steps and made two steps, rushed over and picked up a blue feather, flipped through it and examined it carefully, and soon a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"This is not good for shuttlecock." Li Xun looked disgusted, thinking about how she wanted to make a child's thing like a shuttlecock when she saw anything.
Mei Qingqian gave him a big white eye, "This is a kingfisher's feather, not a shuttlecock, it has its own wonderful use." ”
When I was making jewelry in my previous life, there was a craft that was highly praised by the outside world, that is, the Diancui craft.
She still remembers that when she visited the Forbidden City, she saw that the delicate emerald headdress was beautiful, and she was almost hooked by the blue.
The pealder is a combination of metalwork and feather craft, first using gold or gilded metal to make different patterns of the base, and then carefully inlaid the bright blue feathers on the back of the kingfisher on the seat to make a variety of jewelry, and even larger objects.
It's just that later there were rumors that Diancui needed live birds to take feathers, but the behavior was too cruel, and the kingfisher feathers were getting less and less, so it was once rumored that Diancui was extinct. In fact, the Diancui craft has never disappeared, at least Mei Qingqian learned it from Granny Bai.
In modern times, she replaced kingfisher feathers with dyed goose feathers to create Qing Dynasty-style jewelry, which once won the world's jewelry award.
It's just that Granny Bai sighed at the time, saying that ancient kingfishers are not rare, and a little emerald made of real kingfisher feathers will have a better effect.
Granny Bai really didn't lie to her, you quietly, casually walk around the mountains, you can pick up kingfisher feathers at will, and the color is gorgeous, it is a good material for making some emerald jewelry.
"Do you usually see a lot of this feather?" She hurriedly asked Li Xun.
Li Xun raised his eyebrows, "I have seen it in the mountains from time to time, and I have seen live birds, do you want to catch that kingfisher?" ”
"I just want this blue feather, I don't need it for a live bird, I can pick it up." She said hurriedly.
"Do what?" Li Xun asked again.
Mei Qingqian's face was mysterious, "You'll know in the future, if you see it and help me pick it up, thank you, thank you!" ”
She said several "thank you" in a row, but her attitude was good, and Li Xun couldn't refuse, so she snorted coldly and agreed.
She smiled at him, "Are you not happy that the national teacher is dead?" Don't worry, you're still going to have to take refuge in him with me? People in that position, how can you still have freedom if you take refuge, and how uncomfortable will you be tied up in the future? ”
She smiled a little treacherously and continued: "Do you think that the identity of someone really wants to save your life, and you must not die for him?" How can I be so good at talking. ”
"You're just implying that you can save my life, and I should repay you more?" Li Xun gave her a blank look.
"Hehe, don't say it so bluntly, it hurts your feelings." Her smiling eyes narrowed into slits.
He found that she often smiled like a "profiteer", but other profiteers would not put it on their faces if they wanted to calculate people, and she was not stupid, why did she smile like this, and put all the cunning in her heart on her face.
"I've helped you so much, and I've advanced it in advance, what else do you want? You can't be greedy. As he spoke, he pulled her and ran into the mountains again.
"Yes, yes, so in return for you, I will definitely cure you!" Mei Qingqian swore and said.
Li Xun didn't reply, but the corners of his mouth had already revealed his good mood at the moment.
The two stayed in the mountains for almost two hours, Li Xun casually hunted some prey, and then made a fire to roast the carrier pigeon, and gave most of it to Mei Qingqian to eat.
