Chapter 247: Blood

Previous Chapter

"What requirements?" Li Jingshan and Ruan Mingyu glanced at each other, and wondered in their hearts, do you still have to worship a teacher?

"Don't you Central Plains people boast of being profound and omnipotent?" An old voice came from the door.

The patriarch's face changed slightly when he heard this, he got up to meet him, and said, "Thatmanduo, why are you here?" Then he turned to Ruan Mingyu and Li Jingshan and introduced: "This is the only Sa Yan in our Lanjia Village who knows how to refine colored gold. ”

The patriarch of the Manduo pair nodded, looked at the two outsiders with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Why do you still come to covet our ancient skills? Hmph, it's just an ulterior attempt. Since you want to see my gold smelting skills, you naturally have to exchange things for them. ”

Ruan Mingyu's face was faintly ugly, and Li Jingshan gently pulled his sleeves, and asked indifferently, "What do you want us to exchange for?" ”

"It's up to you to give us." Namanduo didn't do it, just looked down at the flickering flames in the fire pit, "Also, aren't you the sister of Master Na Li?" Can you help him fulfill his promise? ”

"What? Are you Master Li's sister? Why didn't that guy Ranko say it earlier! The patriarch was shocked, grabbed Li Jingshan's hand and said in surprise, "So, are you here to fulfill his promise for Master Li?" ”

"Huh? What else did my brother promise? Li Jingshan and Ruan Mingyu looked at each other, and said in their hearts, Li Jingjue, this guy, won't he promise to marry the girl here, or simply stay here and be the king of the mountain, right?

"That's right," said the patriarch, pulling up a chair and sitting down, and posing for a long talk. And Li Jingshan and Ruan Mingyu finally figured out what Li Jingjue's "promise" was back then.

It turned out that Li Jingjue and Chu Tiankuo followed the merchant to Lanjiazhai for the first time, and they came with the purpose of "recruiting peace". The original intention was to use this village outside the mountain as a pilot to slowly promote the integration of Han and Yi, so as to achieve the goal of peaceful coexistence and mutual exchanges between the two ethnic groups.

They took a few young people from the mountains out and brought back a lot of goods and seeds from outside the mountains. These things and what they have seen and heard have opened the eyes of the people in Lanjia Village, and their impression of the outside world has changed from rejection to curiosity, and more and more people are willing to get out of the village.

Li Jingjue saw that the situation was very good, so he promised the elders and patriarchs in the village to send people in the future to teach Sinology and skills, and at the same time bring more people into the city to make a living. Naturally, because these discussions were only verbal promises, it was not easy for the patriarch to explain them in the Lanjia village with great fanfare, so the people who knew about it were limited to a few people who were highly respected in the clan.

Yiren attaches great importance to the agreement, and Li Jingjue has been gone for two years, and there has been no news again, and it seems that these things have been left behind. Just when the clan thought that all this was just the Han people playing with them, it was also a coincidence that Li Jingshan and Ruan Mingyu inadvertently set foot in Yizhai. Naturally, the elders of the clan bet their hopes on Li Jingshan.

"Master Li said that we will open a school here and grow crops. In addition, he also said that as long as we are willing to go out of the mountains, we will let the people enter your Han towns to work, and he also said that we will help us to sort out and record our craftsmanship...... Li 'Nongyi', since Master Li is not coming, can you make the decision for him? ”

Facing the patriarch's eager gaze, Li Jingshan was in a dilemma.

What Li Jingjue said is a promise made from the government level, she is an ordinary craftsman, how can she have the right to make decisions for him.

It's just that the hopes of the patriarchs have been disappointed, and the people in the village will definitely make the people in the village turn against Li Jingjue and the Dalang government, thinking that they are just unrighteous villains who break their promises and gain fat, not only will their early paving work be wasted, but if they want to continue to deal with the Yi people in the future, they are afraid that it will be half the effort.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard Ruan Mingyu say, "What you just said, Patriarch, is a matter that can only be decided by the government and the imperial court. Although Lord Li has the intention to do this, he also needs the imperial court to issue an order and prepare. It is difficult to make it without three or five years. So please be patient and don't be impatient. ”

The patriarch's face sank, and before he could speak, Namanduo, who was sitting on the side, had already snorted and said coldly: "Then you can also wait until the school starts and the crops are harvested." I don't have much to show you here. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the tea bowl on the wooden table and poured the remaining tea into the fire. Ruan Mingyu knew that this was the rule of sending off guests in the village, raised his hand and pressed the back of his thin hand, and said with a smile, "I haven't finished talking yet." It takes three and a half years for government affairs to be completed, but there is no need for private arrangements. I can't fulfill all of the requirements you have just made, but I can do some of them. ”

"Well, really?" The patriarch asked in surprise.

Li Jingshan also looked at Ruan Mingyu in surprise.

"As you know, I'm a businessman who owns a jewelry shop." Ruan Mingyu poured Li Jingshan a cup of tea, poured another cup for herself, took two sips, and continued, "I originally planned to open a jewelry shop in Mao County, and I can arrange for the people in your Lanjia Village to go in and work, make jewelry or be shop guys." ”

Ruan Mingyu had just made a start, and Li Jingshan had already understood his thoughts, and her eyes lit up. At this time, he said with a smile, "Exactly." The store can also arrange a master to take an apprentice, if you want to learn our jewelry skills, you can also learn art in the store. ”

Ruan Mingyu glanced at Li Jingshan approvingly and shook her hand under the table. In this way, the promise of arranging people to go to the city to make a living and study mentioned by Li Jingjue at the beginning has been partially realized, and there is finally an explanation.

"Is that true?!" The patriarch was also surprised, and hesitated, "Can you do this?" Don't talk about coaxing us again, right? ”

"Since I said it, I can naturally call the shots." Ruan Mingyu smiled faintly, "Besides, this is only the first step in our cooperation with Lanjiazhai, after I and Neiko go back, we will naturally contact the government to strive to fulfill the imperial court's promise to you as soon as possible." ”

"That's great!" The patriarch was excited, and Namanduo had been watching calmly, then stood up and said, "When you Han people speak, you pay attention to listing a word as evidence. And no one in our village knows your words. Let's make a contract according to our rules. ”

He asked someone to bring a jar of wine, poured out three bowls of wine, took out a silver knife from his sleeve, looked straight at Ruan Mingyu and said, "Do you dare to make a blood oath with us?" ”

Without waiting for Ruan Mingyu to answer, the silver knife flashed on his wrist, dripping the gushing blood into the three bowls. He didn't look at Ruan Mingyu, and handed the knife directly to the patriarch.

The patriarch took it with a smile, and also slashed his wrist, dripping blood into the wine. At this time, the two of them looked at Ruan Mingyu in unison and handed the silver knife to him.

Li Jingshan looked at the red and bloody wine, and suddenly felt a wave of nausea, and stretched out her hand to stop Ruan Mingyu, but she was not as fast as him.

Ruan Mingyu took the silver knife and laughed loudly, "Okay, today I will take a blood oath with the two elders in the village, and I will definitely live up to the oath!" The silver light flashed, and he dangled his bloody wrist over the bowl, letting the blood trickle into the wine.

"Okay, it's still Brother Ruan!" The three of them picked up the blood wine, touched the three bowls in the air, and drank them all with their heads up.

Namanduo put the empty wine bowl on the table, "Okay." It is late to-morrow, and tomorrow you will come to my house, and I will show you the making of colored gold. ”

The patriarch also arranged for them to rest in the stockade first. They finally became the second group of Han Chinese to be accepted into Lanjiazhai.

The two of them entered the guest room of the stilted building, and Li Jingshan couldn't wait to pull Ruan Mingyu's wrist to take a closer look, "Quickly show me, how is the injury?" Bandage it quickly. ”

In order to show his sincerity at that time, Ruan Mingyu did force a big opening, although he also wrapped it in a handkerchief, but now he is happy to show his merit in front of his wife. So he raised his wrist and said aggrievedly, "Madam, it really hurts." ”

Li Jingshan was so distressed that her eyes were red, so she gave him hot water to clean his wounds again, and carefully applied the medicine sent from the village to him. When the medicine was applied, he was still lightly puffed, and he blew lightly on the side, "Does it still hurt?" ”

Ruan Mingyu was enjoying herself, thinking about whether she was continuing to pretend to be weak for a while, or accepting it when she saw it, but she saw that Li Jingshan's face suddenly turned pale, she turned her head and retched twice, and she couldn't help but run out of the house and vomit under the tree.

Ruan Mingyu didn't care about bandaging half of her hands, so she hurriedly chased her out to help Li Jingshan, patted her on the back, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" Can you call their doctor here to take a look? ”

Li Jingshan exhaled the turbid breath in her chest, and felt no more uncomfortable. Hurriedly grabbed Ruan Mingyu and said with a smile, "It's okay now, maybe I'm tired from going into the mountains today." No more trouble. ”

Ruan Mingyu saw that there was nothing wrong with her face, so he accompanied her into the house and poured her tea and rinsed her mouth. Li Jingshan took it, smelled the blood on Ruan Mingyu's hand, and suddenly felt sick to his stomach. Fortunately, there was no strong feeling in Fang Cai, so she hurriedly took a sip of tea and pressed it down.

Ruan Mingyu was not at ease, so he looked at her carefully for a while, and saw that she was indeed no longer abnormal, so he slowly put his mind at ease.

---

In the next few days, Li Jingshan watched him refine lottery gold in the small workshops full of many people. In Lanjiazhai, the craft of refining color gold has been inherited for a long time, but because of the complex process, many craftsmen are more willing to create sterling silver jewelry, and over time, this process has gradually declined, and to this day, only Namanduo is still creating color gold. As he grew older, he was also concerned about the loss of the craft. This is also the reason why he was so eager when he heard that Li Jingjue could help Lan Jiazhai sort out the craft information.

Therefore, although he made it difficult for Li Jingshan and them in the early stage, once an agreement was reached and he agreed to teach Li Jingshan, he also went all out to teach them.

After a few days of study, Li Jingshan found that the ancestors of Lanjiazhai had already discovered that different metal ores and gold could be smelted together to obtain different colors of colored gold. It's just that due to the limited smelting technology, most of the colored gold has too many impurities, the color is dull, and it is not good to look at jewelry. This, combined with the complexity of the process, makes the future of the jackpot bleak.

"If you hadn't come to see this craft," Namando sighed, "in a few years, this craft would have disappeared completely." ”

Li Jingshan copied the recipes of different colors of lottery gold according to Namanduo's dictation, raised her head at this time, and said with a faint smile, "No." Now that I'm here, I'll make it carry forward. ”

Namanduo looked at her for a long time, and grinned, "You girl doll, you have a big heart." Okay, that's all there are five colors of jackpot recipes. I'm waiting to see how you carry them forward. ”
