Chapter 245: The Journey
Li Jingshan rubbed the paper and said in surprise: "I will never be mistaken, the paper and handwriting are the same!" ”
"Could it be that you have a relationship with that horse Chihiro, what else do you have to do?" Ye Qing also wondered.
Li Jingshan pinched the pages of the book and thought for a long time, and categorically denied it, "My father's half of the "Quenching Jade and Melting Gold Record" was also obtained by chance. Not ancestral. And there are only three fragments here, which must have survived from the chaos of the past world. This alone is not enough to trace the origins. ”
When Ruan Mingyu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as it's not 'the big water washed the Dragon King Temple'." Come and see, does this thing work? Tsk, a rancid smell. ”
Li Jingshan saw that his son's style was set up again, and smiled and pushed him aside, "You can't stand it, just wait for a while." I transcribed it, and there weren't a few words anyway. These pieces of paper are also about to fall apart. ”
Ye Qing hurriedly went to make a pot of Biluo Chunlai and poured it for Ruan Mingyu, before he walked to Li Jingshan's side and picked up the ink ingot for her to study. After grinding for a while, he suddenly felt that something seemed wrong, and as soon as he raised his head, he met Ruan Mingyu's meaningful gaze. Young Master Ruan put down the teacup, got up and walked this way.
Ye Qing was stunned, Ruan Mingyu had already arrived, and reached out to take the ink ingot in his hand, "I'll study ink for Ah Shan." ”
Ye Qing suddenly realized, hurriedly retreated to the door, and said goodbye: "Then there will be a shopkeeper of Laoda." When I'm out for a long time, I'll have to go back to the store to have a look. The two owners see each other again. Without looking back, he slipped away and closed the door.
Li Jingshan turned her head and squinted at Third Young Master Ruan, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, don't you can't stand this sour and rotten smell?" ”
Ruan Mingyu said unashamedly, "That can't let Madame suffer this alone." He lit the incense, put it on the side of the desk, changed the ingot of rosin incense ink, grinded it carefully for Li Jingshan, and said diligently: "You write this heirloom scroll, and your husband is willing to serve you tea and ink." ”
Li Jingshan only said that Ruan Mingyu deliberately gaged to alleviate her depression about her father's old case, and took a sip of the tea he brought with him very appreciatively before continuing to transcribe.
A few pages are not long, but a cup of tea is done. Ruan Mingyu picked up the dry ink and looked at it carefully, and it was really much more pleasing to the eye.
"Aren't these the jackpot recipes you've been looking for?" Ruan Mingyu looked at it and couldn't help laughing, "In this way, it's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there." ”
Li Jingshan nodded, pointed to a few lines added on the page, and said, "This fragment records the smelting method of some of the lottery gold. For example, Ma Qianxun's 'fake gold' can be made of gold and brass in proportion, and if the proportion of copper is increased, it can also be refined into 'red gold', and there are also pink, purple and other colored gold. ”
"It's just that the information of this fragment is mostly lost and blurred, and the most critical metal ratio configuration is also incomplete, and the Ma Qianxun family has limited ability and has not been able to reproduce these bonuses. Perhaps, it is also because they have not found the true value of reproducing these winnings. ”
Ruan Mingyu took a closer look at it, and suddenly said, "How can there be more content than the original?" Did you add the information as if it were? ”
Li Jingshan paused and explained: "These fragments remind me of the similar recipes I saw in my father's manuscript back then, and I don't know if he researched it himself, or if he had seen other fragments. I added it based on my recollections, and I will have to verify it later to see if it is feasible. ”
In fact, the additions are not from Li Zhiyuan's manuscripts, but from the knowledge that Li Jingshan has mastered in modern times. Nowadays, the metal composition of lottery gold is no secret. The real secret lies in the proportions, recipes, and refining methods of each metal. There are also many formulation-focused metals, which were not well known in ancient times and also restricted the refining of colored gold.
And these accidental fragments show that the ancients were not as backward as Li Jingshan thought in terms of color gold refining. She boldly integrated what she had learned in modern times into the book "Quenching Jade and Melting Gold".
It's just that Ruan Mingyu naturally has no way of knowing, and nodded in praise, "Mm-hmm." My lady is well-read and strong. ”
Third Young Master Ruan took the pen and ink on the table, made a new cup of tea for Li Jingshan, took the mung bean cake from the snack box and put it into Li Jingshan's mouth, and said angrily, "It's just too hard." I've known you for so many years, and you're still so thin. I eat less and less, and others think I have a cat. He reached out and pinched Li Jingshan's slender waist, very dissatisfied.
Li Jingshan stood up, stretched her waist and yawned, and said with a smile, "It's just that the weather has been hot for the past two days, and I'm just a little bitter summer." ”
Ruan Mingyu saw that her face was tired, pulled the person up from the chair, and pushed her to the back room, "If you are sleepy, sleep for a while." I'll go around the store and won't bother you. ”
Li Jingshan remembered that last night, Ruan Mingyu did not stop in the inn, and she couldn't help blushing. Turning his head and glaring at Third Young Master Ruan. Ruan Mingyu couldn't do anything about the lethal eyes, haha smiled and laid out the futon, and served people attentively before closing the door and going out.

Everyone spent two days in Taizhou and discussed with Ye Qing about refining lottery gold.
"The biggest problem in alloy smelting is the removal of impurities and storage. Our existing technical means cannot achieve a high degree of deposit. ”
Ye Qingdao, "And the original alloy affects its hardness and toughness. Makes the metal brittle and malleable. It is difficult to do general use, let alone the jewelry industry with high requirements for flexibility. ”
"So," Ye Qing shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "Caijin is not needed for iron smelting; For jewelry smelting, it does not meet the requirements. So there hasn't been much in this area. ”
Li Jingshan sorted out the information at hand and let out a long breath, "Since no one has ever done it, I'll be the first person." ”
"Then it's necessary for you to take a trip to Yuecheng." Ye Qing nodded, and sighed again, "It's a pity that I have a position now, but I am not as free as I was back then." Otherwise, it will be a happy life to follow you to Yuecheng. ”
Ruan Mingyu said with a smile, "Come on, even if I agree with you to put down the business of the Taizhou branch and take you on the road, can you give up your wife and young son?" Your dick is just getting ready for the full moon, right? ”
Ye Qing smiled shyly, did not respond, and the expression on his face was indeed satisfied and happy.
Li Jingshan was also happy for Ye Qing, and while saying congratulations, she couldn't help but quietly glance at Meng Shu on the side.
Meng Shu's face was calm, and she also stepped forward to say goodbye. Over the years, this Nizi has become more and more moody, and even Li Jingshan can't see through what she thinks in her heart.
A few days later, the three of them set off for Yuecheng again.
The Jingbao Pavilion branch in Yuecheng opened earlier, and most of the disciples recruited were locals. The jewelry of the Yuecheng branch is adapted to local conditions and integrates a lot of western Xinjiang style.
The shopkeeper of the branch is a local, who has been operating here for decades, and is a complete local snake. Soon, they contacted a well-known local goldsmith and blacksmith to explore the problem of forging iron and smelting alloys.
"Girl, you're asking us about metal improvement, and you're asking the right person! Our ancestors here made iron, whether it is the high-hardness steel on the blade, or the steel of various toughness, they can be caught by hand. ”
"The metal you are talking about must be strong enough and have a certain degree of ductility...... It's a matter of careful consideration. ”
"Hey, isn't it just a matter of adding the ratio of the thunderstone, try a few more times, and you can always find the right proportion."
"You say it lightly......"
A few blacksmiths brought by the wooden shopkeeper listened to Meng Shu's request, and soon you discussed it with me at a glance, and the argument was very happy. Meng Shu's face turned red with excitement, and he listened and took notes, and his subordinates didn't stop.
On the other hand, the gold smelting method that Li Jingshan was looking for was much more difficult for the goldsmiths.
"Madam, although we have heard of the lottery money you mentioned, we have never seen the real thing. Moreover...... Does anyone like this thing? The goldsmith scratched his head, "Who doesn't like the fineness of real money?" ”
"Also, too many impurities are not good for controlling toughness, and they are not suitable for making jewelry."
"Besides, if you want to use other colors to express it, there are other ways, you can do it with blue, gold, and treasure."
"Exactly......"
Everyone was gossiping, and they all said that they were not optimistic about the prospect of smelting colored gold. Li Jingshan listened quietly and did not refute, and finally smiled quietly, "What all the masters say is reasonable, but the lottery has its own benefits." Everyone, if you have any clues, let me know. ”
After dismissing everyone, Li Jingshan looked up at the sky, it was already afternoon, she saw that Ruan Mingyu had not come back, she yawned and walked to the inner room, planning to take a nap. In recent days, she has always been prone to drowsiness and drowsiness, and it seems that she is still a little unbearable after a tiring journey for days.
He was sleeping in a daze, and suddenly he felt the curtain be lifted and someone lay down on the bed. Li Jingshan leaned over with the familiar breath, but without opening her eyes, she reached out and put her hand on the visitor.
Ruan Mingyu hugged her and said softly, "Woke you up?" ”
Li Jingshan rubbed it in his arms and muttered, "No...... Just squint for a moment. ”
Ruan Mingyu saw that her starry eyes were half-open and she didn't look very sober, and said distressedly, "Rest more when you're tired." Anyway, I'm not in a hurry for this moment. ”
"Hmm......" Li Jingshan responded vaguely, but did not answer his words.
Now that it is about to enter autumn, Meng Shu's messenger has a clue, and with the help of these old craftsmen in Yuecheng, he can finally find a match. And the jackpot I was looking for found found nothing except to perfect the elements of the jackpot.
And there is less and less time left for her to make national gifts. If she doesn't make a breakthrough this time, she can only give up this idea after returning to the capital. Find another way. Then half a year's time can be regarded as wasted. Maybe it's because of the anxiety in my heart, these days, I feel more and more powerless, often lack of energy, and sleepy.
Ruan Mingyu saw that Li Jingshan didn't answer, how could he not know her thoughts, and softly comforted: "If you encounter a bottleneck, you might as well let it go first...... It's not far from Xiling and Maoxian, would you like to go over there and have a look? ”
"Huh? Xiling, Mao County? Li Jingshan instantly sobered up, "That's right, it is under Ah Jue's rule, and his jurisdiction is Mao County!" ”
