It was easier for the huge He to find two carpenters than it was to drink water.

After a cup of tea, the housekeeper took a father and son to stand in front of Mrs. He.

"This father and son are carpenters in our manor, and they are responsible for repairing tables, chairs, doors and windows on weekdays. Madame was looking for a skillful craft, and for a while she could not find a better one than their father and son. ”

Mrs. He nodded, and instructed the housekeeper to find an empty yard in the house, send some wood in, arrange for someone to guard it, and let the father and son obey Miss Wei San's orders.

Wei Jin took advantage of the effort to find someone and drew an exploded diagram of the abacus. It's really easy, the only difficulty is piercing and sanding the wooden beads.

It took half a day to create a very simple abacus, the basic shape is not wrong, but the polishing is not smooth enough, the uniformity of the wooden beads is also a little worse, and the toggle is not too smooth.

But these are all minor problems that can be solved with a little effort.

Wei Jin skillfully flicked the abacus, and after a set of complicated gestures, the eyes of the girls watching the excitement next to him were straight.

"That's right, that's all. The vertical and horizontal wooden shafts should be polished smooth, and the wooden beads should also be uniform in size, as well as the perforation in the middle. I'll show it when it's done, and if it's done, I'll talk about anything else. ”

With this calculation, it can be regarded as making Wei Jin think of what dowry he and his sister should give to Miss He.

In her opinion, the Golden Nine is the most suitable.

Two days later, the carpenter delivered the finished product.

The wooden frame of the abacus is carved with patterns of desmodium and golden osmanthus, and the vertical and horizontal wooden shafts have no wooden thorns, and each bead is exactly the same size and shape, and it is difficult to imagine that it was made by hand.

took an account book in her hand, Wei Jin fiddled with the abacus, and began to fight cracklingly, but after a sip of tea, she counted several pages, and before the tea was drunk, an account book was completed.

"Auntie, this handiwork is fine."

"Third sister, I'll try it too."

In the past two days, Miss He San has been thinking about this abacus, she pulled the rough wooden abacus into her room, and practiced quietly every day, although she was not as skilled as Wei Jin, but compared to using the abacus, she seemed to be more naturally in line with the abacus.

"This abacus is a little bigger for your fingers. The aunt can make some different sizes according to the size of this abacus, and can also use different materials to make them. ”

Needless to say, Mrs. He had already thought of it, she nodded, and let the carpenter father and son be rewarded, and the two of them continued to make. After that, he called the internal and external stewards and instructed him to do so.

Wei Jin had a plan in his heart, and it was inconvenient to tell Mrs. He, so he sent someone to deliver a letter to Wei Zan after lunch and asked him to come over.

The person who sent the letter must go to ask Mrs. He for instructions, and Wei Jin also understands this, after all, they are outsiders, and it is impossible to ask people to enter and leave He Mansion casually.

Before dinner, Wei Zan came back with the eldest young master of the He family. After eating, Mrs. He let them play by themselves, saying that they were tired and wanted to go back to rest.

With the eldest young master watching from the side, Wei Zan is also a person who abides by etiquette, and he will definitely not make a mess, such an arrangement is just to block the mouths of other He clan people.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing the stack of paper that Wei Jinsai gave him, he read it and asked puzzledly. 117

"Don't worry so much, just help me ask which master goldsmith can make this." After speaking, she lowered her voice and approached Wei Zhan, "This is what I plan to add makeup to the eldest lady, so I don't want to trouble the He family to help." ”

Wei Zan understood the meaning of adding makeup, but he didn't understand why these things could add makeup, and they were not high-end at all.

Wei Jin's face sank, and he glared at him: "If you are told to go, you will go, and if you don't go, I will find someone else." I told you that it was inconvenient to tell you more, and asked, why are you 100,000? ”

Wei Zan didn't understand, and subconsciously wanted to ask again, but when he looked up and saw the anger in Wei Jin's eyes, he was dumb.

"Okay, okay, I'll take care of that. I'm not familiar with it, as long as the clan uncle is familiar with it. ”

As he spoke, he stuffed the stack of papers into his sleeve, and complained: "I don't see how long I am, and my temper is getting bigger and bigger." ”

Young Master He, who was chatting with the eldest sister and second sister next to him, couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, almost choking.

Wei Jin was ashamed and angry, stood up suddenly, and pulled her sister back to the room without saying a word.

The three young ladies of the He family couldn't help but want to laugh, but they were embarrassed, so they hurriedly got up, bowed to Wei Zhan, and chased Wei Jin's sisters back to the courtyard.

"Look at you, don't you have a big temper?" Wei Zan sighed fakely, "Outsiders have been deceived by her appearance, what do you say The third girl in my family is gentle and graceful, that is, Brother He, you and I are only able to understand it, ordinary people can't stand her little temper, otherwise my fourth aunt will not send her to your house, please teach her with my aunt." ”

Young Master He didn't know whether he really believed it or pretended, and nodded: "If it is really as Brother Wei said, the third girl's temper must be restrained and restrained." ”

Wei Zan smiled and didn't answer, looked at the sky, and said goodbye.

After sending Wei Zan out, Young Master He stood at the gate of the inner and outer courtyards, and laughed: "This Wei Zan is guarding against my family." ”

Early the next morning, Wei Zan took the stack of papers and went to his uncle's house.

"All these things are pure gold?"

"Yes, no, this cash box is not used, it is inlaid with yellow rosewood. Others are made of pure gold, made smaller and more delicate, and placed in a small drawer in the cash box. ”

Wei Zan took a sip of tea: "I don't understand what this is, the third sister said that these have implications." ”

"In the end, it's a girl from the Wei family, but what she thinks is different." The clan aunt sighed, "I didn't have a daughter, otherwise I would have learned more from the third girl." ”

"Don't, ordinary people can't stand her brain." Wei Zan entrusted this matter to the clan aunt, saying that the sooner things were done, the better, and that they would not have much time to stay here.

"Okay, these things don't seem to be difficult, but the difficult thing is this golden abacus. However, there is a finished product, and it only needs to be scaled down. It just so happened that my mother's family had a golden building, so I directly asked the master to speed up it. ”

Nine days later, Wei Jin thought that it was time for him to leave the He family with his sister. They still have to go to Zhangzhou, and besides, the He family's teaching to the girls is just like that, some things have to be taught subtly from a young age, and they can't be taught in a day or two.

The biggest gain from her coming to the He family was to make an abacus, and then understand the key points of the in-law connection between the big families of the family, and there were three more good friends.

Just when she had this idea, Wei Zan came to He's house with the finished golden nine pieces.

"Well, it's all in there, you can see if you're satisfied."

A boxy yellow rosewood box with seven treasures in relief is placed on the table. The glittering heroic shape immediately attracted the three girls of the He family to follow Wei Jue, who was leaning on her sister's side and looking curiously.
