On the second day, Li Jingshan and Ruan Mingyu went out of the house, and they saw Meng Shu sitting in the small dining room eating breakfast, with a plain appearance and elegant demeanor, and she couldn't see the loneliness of last night at all.

When Meng Shu saw them, she stood up and greeted them, pointed to the other two food boxes on the table, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that you won't be used to eating the flavor of Changzhou, so I'll give you a breakfast at Yuefeng Building at the corner of the street." ”

Li Jingshan thanked her busily, opened the food box and saw that it was indeed the taste she loved to eat. The impression she left when she was studying art in Tianqiaotang back then, she didn't expect that after so many years, she still remembered.

She pulled Ruan Mingyu to sit down and enjoy it, sighing in her heart, such a lovely woman, how could she have such a family background.

Meng Shu didn't know what she was thinking, so she just drank tea and accompanied her, and said: "When I was young, I learned some knowledge of forging and casting from a few old craftsmen, and I want to visit them later and ask about this knowledge." ”

"Okay, let's go together." Li Jingshan immediately responded.

Meng Shu smiled lightly and nodded.

After breakfast, Meng Shu led them slowly along the bluestone road.

"When I was a child, my family hardly cared about me, and I would walk along this willow alley every day to watch the craftsmen in the cramped shops make simple jewelry."

Meng Shu said in a flat voice: "Later, they followed them to make small earrings and rings. When they saw that I was like the ingredients for this mouthful of rice, they slowly taught me to make filaments and make simple flowers. ”

Stretch flower is the prototype of the silk process. Li Jingshan listened quietly, remembering that she had such a similar experience in the Spider Hutong in Minzhou.

The hand hidden in the sleeve was quietly held by Ruan Mingyu. She turned her head and met Ruan Mingyu's clear gaze. Young Master Ruan curled the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, and squeezed her palm slightly.

Li Jingshan's heart warmly calmed down.

"Here it is." Meng Shu pushed open a half-hidden old wooden door, and greeted the old man who looked up in amazement: "Grandpa Xiang, Ah Shu has come to see you!" ”

"Ashu! How did you get back? Old man Xiang came out in surprise, "Didn't you say that if you leave, you will never come back?" ”

Li Jingshan hurriedly pulled Ruan Mingyu to the other side of the store, focusing on the jewelry on the shelves. Most of them are simple bracelets and rings, as well as simple flowers, and the workmanship is not very exquisite. It was the rolls of gold and silver threads of different thicknesses on the top of the shelves that attracted Li Jingshan's attention.

The gold and silver threads are arranged from thick to thin, the thick ones are as thick as the hairpins, and the thin ones are only the size of a hair. There are also some gold and silver threads that are intertwined together, with different techniques, such as double-strand threads, twist braids, four-strand twist flowers, and so on. Li Jingshan picked up those thread rolls, pulled out a thread and pinched it gently, feeling that the toughness of those silk threads was not the same.

"In my old and second life, the best thing I did was drawing." I don't know when, Old Man Xiang came behind them, "You are the shopkeeper of the Treasure Hunting Pavilion?" Many of you guys want to make tired silk jewelry, and the gold and silver threads are still custom-made by me. ”

Li Jingshan saw Meng Shu nodding in agreement, and asked with a smile, "Grandpa, since you have been making gold and silver wire all your life, how can you change the hardness and toughness of the metal, what can you do?" ”

"Hey, Meng Yatou told me." Xiang Lao and Er waved their hands and said: "You are looking for a change of weapon metal, not a filament to create gold and silver jewelry." Isn't it the same as eating pork and going to a dim sum shop? ”

He lit the rows of silk threads on this shelf, looked at Meng Shu and said, "These gold and silver threads are all used to tire silk coils, and only pursue the right toughness, softness, and softness, and don't need to consider strength and hardness at all." You've been playing the craft of tired silk for so many years, can't you even tell the difference between this? ”

This Xiang Lao and Er are Li Jingshan's enlightenment masters, and now that they have been taught a lesson, they have to lower their eyebrows and smile: "The disciple has encountered a problem recently, so he has to go to the doctor in a hurry." ”

Ruan Mingyu stepped forward at this time and said with a shallow smile, "Old man, isn't this the same as that when a child encounters trouble outside, the first person who thinks of asking for help is also his parents and relatives." This tired bird returns to the nest, and the milk swallow throws into the forest, which is the same reason. ”

Ruan Mingyu learned the tone of the old man and said it, Xiang Lao and Er also knew Meng Shu's family background, such a comparison showed Meng Shu's closeness to him, and he was also embarrassed for a while.

"Why doesn't my old man treat Meng Yatou as his own daughter." The old man sighed, "It's just that I've been making jewelry metal all my life, and if you want to talk about this hard and sharp property—hey, that's right!" You can go to Yue Cheng and have a look. ”

"That's right, Yucheng!" The rest of the people replied in unison.

Xiang Lao and Er touched the short mustache of their chins and smiled, "It turns out that you all know it." There are many smelters near Yuecheng, and there are many iron shops in the city, so that's where you should look for the masters. ”

After asking Meng Shu's doubts clearly, it was time to solve Li Jingshan's problem, "Old man, you have made jewelry metals all your life, have you ever refined, or heard of colored metal exercises?" ”

"Colored metal?" Xiang Lao and Er Qi said, "For jewelry, gold is yellow, silver is white, and copper is red. Is there any other color? Do you think it's porcelain burning, and it can still be changed? ”

As soon as Li Jingshan heard it, she knew that there was no play. She hid her disappointment and smiled in thanks.

Everyone left gifts for Xiang Lao and Er, and then left the shop. Xiang Lao and Er sent them out, and they also pulled Meng Shu behind, and told them a thousand times, "If you go back to Changzhou, come to me to settle down, the Meng family doesn't want to see you, I want you!" ”

Li Jingshan and Ruan Mingyu walked in front, deliberately leaving a gap not to disturb the gossip of the old and the young. After a while, Meng Shu rushed up as usual, and saw a trace of gratitude in their eyes.

Li Jingshan smiled and said that when she went to Beijing to learn art, she and Ye Qing saw it in Yuecheng: "There are indeed many iron shops in Yuecheng, and there is a kind of ore produced on Leigong Mountain outside the city. ”

What Li Jingshan didn't say was that when they passed by the iron shop in Yuecheng, they found the ore on the Lei Gong Mountain, which contained the element of thunder. In the modern smelting process, the metal is not only an important element to increase the hardness of steel, but also one of the added metals for refining colored gold.

"Your next trip," Meng Shu asked, "Do you go to Taizhou to find Ye Qing first, or go directly to Yuecheng?" ”

"Yucheng." Ruan Mingyu also had a natural rejection of Ye Qing.

"It's not far from Taizhou, and it used to be a stop. I also sent a letter to Senior Brother Ye Qing. Li Jingshan looked at Ruan Mingyu's face full of disapproval, and added, "Senior Brother Ye Qing once told me before that they had a precedent of using wire grass to burn ash and blend it into metal to make red gold. ”

Ruan Mingyu glared at Li Jingshan and said sullenly, "Yes, I understand." I'll go to Taizhou tomorrow, and it's done. ”

Li Jingshan grimaced with him, ignored it, and took Meng Shu's hand and walked forward, "Since you're leaving tomorrow, today, you take me to visit your street market here." ”

It is an eternal truth that women love shopping, so Ruan Mingyu had to follow the two women and slowly accompany them to the market.

-

Two days later, Nguyen Minh Yu and his carriage arrived outside the city of Taizhou.

Li Jingshan recalled the scene when she passed through Taizhou with the audit team, and said with a smile, "That was the first time I went out of the city, and when I entered the city, it was Senior Brother Ye Qing who greeted us at the gate of the city. ”

Ruan Mingyu was lifting the curtain of the car to look out, pouting and saying, "What you said is the scene outside, right?" ”

"Huh?" Li Jingshan and Meng Shu leaned to the window to look out, and sure enough, next to the city gate, Ye Qing was dressed in a navy blue robe, standing tall, and when they saw the carriage coming from a distance, they happily raised their hands and waved them vigorously.

At that moment, the scene in her memory coincided with what she was looking for, and Li Jingshan's heart was soft and her eyes were sour.

Some sentiments will not change with the passage of time.

"Knowing that you entered the city today, I came out early to greet you." Ye Qing still had a clear and gentle pair of eyebrows, and he saluted Ruan Mingyu, and was about to salute Li Jingshan as well, but she grabbed him, "Between our senior brothers and sisters, we still do this kind of thing." ”

Ignoring Ruan Mingyu's sour eyes, he pulled Meng Shu with one hand and Ye Qing with the other, and said with a smile, "Let's get in the car and catch up on the old days." ”

Ye Qing is good at observing words and feelings, but he doesn't dare to make such a mistake. Busy said, "Brother Ruan and I can just get on this wheel." At this time, the market was bustling, just to show the Ruan brothers the way. ”

Ruan Mingyu's face was a little pale, and he said with a smile: "Then you will be wronged by Ye Er's shopkeeper." ”

"Second shopkeeper?" Li Jingshan and Meng Shu were surprised to see him.

Ye Qing smiled shyly: "Thanks to the support of the big shopkeeper and the Minzhou branch. Moreover, the letter of appointment has not yet been officially issued. He lifted the curtain for the guests and invited someone to get on the car, "I booked a banquet in Wenhua Building, and my father-in-law Yao is already waiting there, please." ”

Ruan Mingyu naturally wouldn't really let the second shopkeeper of the store sit in the car aggrievedly, and the four of them entered the carriage together.

Taizhou deserves to be the state capital, and it is prosperous all the way. It was now close to noon, and the road was even more crowded, and the carriage was moving slowly. Rao was like this, and the carriage suddenly jolted and stopped suddenly.

The three people in the car almost fell because of the inertia of rushing forward. Ruan Mingyu took Li Jingshan in his arms, and was just about to shout and ask, when he heard a commotion outside, and a voice like a broken gong cried: "Ouch, dead people, dead people, carriage hit dead people!" ”

Everyone in the car was shocked, Ruan Mingyu hurriedly lifted the curtain and came out to take a look, and sure enough, this ragged man was in front of the carriage, curled up and screaming, shouting about the dead, while secretly glancing at them with his eyes half-open.

Ruan Mingyu glanced at Ruan Mo. Ruan Mo replied expressionlessly, "He bumped into it himself." ”

Young Master Ruan nodded, and was about to step forward, but Ye Qing pulled his sleeve, "Big shopkeeper, I am ashamed of my humble position, and I disturbed the interest of several of you." But in this Taizhou territory, you don't have to make a move. ”

Ye Qing took two steps forward, looked down at the man, and said coldly: "Ma Dashou, look at who I am?" ”
