Chapter 224: Restoration (2)
After cleaning up, the Li family still returned to the Sizhen Bureau in the afternoon.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yue Zangfeng sitting in front of the huge work case. It seems that she hasn't been out of this door since she left.
"Master, take a break."
Li Jingshan looked at Yue Zangfeng, who was older than her father, her eyes were dark and her face was haggard, her heart did not soften, and she felt even more guilty for being late. stepped forward and persuaded softly: "If you continue to survive like this, you will burn your body." β
"You're here!" Yue Zangfeng raised his head and said eagerly, "Come and take a look." I sorted all the broken jewelry. He motioned for her to look at the divider on the table.
"In this grid, either deformed, or the inlaid treasure falls off, it is slightly damaged, and the craftsmen in our bureau can repair it."
Li Jingshan saw that this kind of jewelry accounted for about half. My heart was a little relieved. "Well, this part can be repaired quickly, arrange a few masters, and it will be completed in about two or three days."
Yue Zangfeng nodded, "Hmm." Then there's the part that needs to be replaced with gems or small accessories," he said, pointing to the second compartment, "like this sapphire, which has cracked." The petal also collapsed. It is necessary to look for suitable materials in the warehouse to replace. β
Li Jingshan saw that there were more than a dozen of these gems that needed to be replaced, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the warehouse for the time being, if you can't find it, you can also go to the jewelry store in Beijing to inquire." This jewelry is not a rare gemstone, and it should always be found. β
"The rest of the category is the hardest." Yue Zangfeng sighed and pushed the third divider in front of her, "This part of the jewelry is the most seriously damaged. I still don't know how to fix it. β
In each of the grids, there were seven or eight pieces of jewelry, all of which were almost fragmented pieces. To fix them, it's almost like putting them together like a jigsaw puzzle. What's more troublesome is that many of the connected small parts are also scattered and deformed, which adds great difficulty to the splicing.
Li Jingshan looked at the fragments calmly, and then raised her head for a while and let out a soft breath, "Yes." It seems that the restoration of these items requires the help of craftsmen who know how to do it. β
Yue Zangfeng was silent for a moment, looked at Li Jingshan and said in a deep voice, "Ah Shan, then I will leave the restoration of this part of the remnants to you." β
Li Jingshan was startled, and hurriedly waved her hand, "Master, this can't work!" IβI'm still in charge of the other two types of restoration...... I'm afraid I'm not up to the task. In this gold and jade work, your craftsmanship is the most exquisite, or you have to come, and I can give you a hand. β
Yue Zangfeng Muran listened to Li Jingshan's words, and was silent for a long time before he took out a jade carving knife from the toolbox next to him, held it firmly on his fingertips, and said softly for a while, "Look." β
Li Jingshan looked at it fixedly, gasped, and bit her lower lip hard.
It was the thinnest and sharpest lancet. Dedicated to fine parts with engraving. A cold white light flickered at Yue Zangfeng's fingertipsβyes, a flicker.
Yue Zangfeng smiled self-deprecatingly, "You see it now." I had an early hand injury and there were faint signs of recurrence in the past two years. Now I can't hold the knife steadily. He looked at the fragments with a lonely look, "Not to mention the delicate repairs." β
Hero's End. Li Jingshan remembered this word for a moment, and she quietly clenched her fists hard.
Yue Zangfeng smiled faintly again, "This is also one of the reasons why I am willing to pass on the transparent jade carving method to you." Those excellent techniques always need to be passed on by someone who is destined to pass them on. β
Li Jingshan bowed her head and said nothing. She knew that even if Yue Zangfeng was playing the warmth card with her, she had already been moved. You can't sit idly by, it's like the ship of fate has brought you to that fork in the road, and you know that there are dangerous shoals and rapids ahead, and you can only move forward.
She raised her head and replied categorically, "Okay, I will not fail in my mission!" β
Yue Zangfeng finally showed a relaxed smile: "Okay, I'm in charge of the other two types of restoration, just say what you need." I will fully cooperate. Remember, we only have half a month. β
Li Jingshan nodded. She touched the jade plate of the fourth prince in her sleeve, thinking a little bitterly, I wonder if this brand can be a lifesaver if she messes up this errand?

When Li Jingshan raised her head from the pair of fragments, she happened to hear the gongzi in the palace knocking on the second watch. She rubbed her sour eyes and closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair. Repair steps are still being planned in mind.
After an afternoon of pondering and researching, Li Jingshan roughly put together the pieces into a rough shape, but she was at a loss for the scattered parts. A spring with the thickness of an embroidery needle, a gear the size of half a grain of rice, and a connecting ring the size of millet ...... Li Jingshan felt that she was going blind when she saw it. She thought angrily: Tomorrow I must find a master of miniature carving and borrow their glass magnifying glass!
Next, she's on her own to figure out what the parts do and how to assemble them back. It is also necessary to ensure that they can continue to operate as usual and achieve the original opening and closing function. To make matters worse, some parts were deformed and fractured and had to be recast.
"How do you cast such a tiny part?" Li Jingshan thought worriedly. She stretched and decided to leave the questions for tomorrow.
She dragged her tired body back home. Seeing that the lights were still on in the room, the warm feeling immediately relieved her.
Ruan Mingyu raised his head from the ledger, his handsome eyebrows and eyes were as warm as jade under the lamp, "I left you a supper, it's your favorite sweet soup." Eat something first, and I'll ask someone to prepare hot water for you. β
Li Jingshan stood at the door without moving, smiling and watching quietly for a while. Ruan Mingyu waited impatiently and said, "Why are you stunned?" β
Li Jingshan walked over, put her arms around his neck, leaned against his ear and blew, "I just remembered a sentence." β
"What?"
"The husband and the child are hot on the kang, and the gods will not stay when they come."
Ruan Mingyu: "............" When did your own lady become so wild!? dared to tease him for no reason.
He put his long arm around someone's thin waist, hugged them to his lap and sat down, and sneered, "Well, it's beautiful." It's just that the lady is too much. Where is the child? Why don't we build one tonight? β
Li Jingshan herself went around herself, and was blushing and struggling, Diancui sent supper over, and just stepped into the door and saw this scene, "Oops" quickly turned around with something and walked away without squinting.
It's easy to make enough trouble, Li Jingshan hurriedly ate something and hurriedly went to take a bath. She soaked in the tub and fell asleep in a daze. It wasn't until Ruan Mingyu saw that she hadn't come out for a long time and went in to see her that he fished her out of the bucket.
Li Jingshan let her husband fiddle with her in a chaotic manner, dried her body and dressed, and muttered: "Recently, for some reason, I am always prone to sleepiness, as if I can't sleep enough." β
"You're too tired." Ruan Mingyu said, "Don't push yourself too hard, go to sleep obediently." He sighed inwardly, it seemed that tonight's plan to create a man had to be postponed.

On the second day, Li Jingshan relied on the jade plate of the four princes, first transferred a glass magnifying glass from the tool room in the palace, and asked around about skilled craftsmen and asked about the content of the mechanism.
"Mechanism art is a mastery left by Mozi back then. What people know today is only scratching the surface. If you want to know, you might be able to ask some questions in the foundry. β
The foundry is the place where the weapons and armor are cast for the army, although they are all carved with gold and jade, but here they are wide open and closed, and the sound of gold is sonorous, which is completely different from the fine elegance of gold and jade. Therefore, the two sides do not look at each other at each other, but the well water usually does not interfere with the river water.
Now Li Jingshan begged to come to the door, if it weren't for the jade plate of the Four Highnesses, she would almost not even be able to enter the door.
Finally, an old craftsman was willing to receive her and took her to see some tricks on the siege equipment. Those bearings, hub wheels and other parts opened Li Jingshan's eyes. It was the first time I knew that the ancient art of manufacturing had been so developed.
"Do you have a way to fix these miniatures?"
Those jewelry were too eye-catching, Li Jingshan didn't dare to show them directly to the craftsman, but drew the parts into graphics and showed them to the old craftsman.
"Theoretically, there's nothing particularly complicated." After the old craftsman took a closer look at the graphics, he touched his chin and said, "But these parts are too small to match without special tools, so they can't be done at all." β
Li Jingshan's newly-ignited hope was beaten down by this basin of cold water. She asked, "Well...... What tools are needed, and can I build them on an improvised basis? β
The old craftsman seemed to hear a joke, "Not to mention how many processes it takes to create a set of suitable tools, from design to final product, there is no one who can't do it in three or five months." What do you do with that tool? Just to build a miniature trebuchet for fun? β
Ms. Lai didn't tell him what the widgets were for, but she knew she didn't have time to wait three or five months. Her eyes darkened.
"But...... Hundreds of years ago, it was said that there was another craft in the art of mechanism, which was to develop into small and delicate objects. It is said that the craftsmen of the time were able to make roosters that could tell the time at the hour, and there were bees that could fly in the sky. β
Li Jingshan looked up in a daze, and suddenly thought of the first cultural enlightenment and Renaissance in the distant modern era. Could it be that in this parallel world, there is also such a history?
The old craftsman crossed his arms and continued, "You are made of gold and jade, and some people use this kind of trick in jewelry design. Get a nodding phoenix or something. β
"And then?" Li Jingshan asked eagerly.
"Later? Later, of course, after the war, that one fell and was cut off. The old craftsman smiled meaninglessly, "What's the use of those tricks?" Before the war, the lives were devastated, and who still had the heart to care about the useless carving insects that could not eat or drink, and could not kill the enemy and build houses. β
Li Jingshan was stunned. She opened her mouth, but couldn't argue. I only feel that my mood today is like being up and down in the sea, being thrown to the crest of the wave several times, and being pressed back to the bottom in an instant.
