Chapter 33: Hairpin making
Early the next morning, the owner pointed to the iris to groom Yueqi. After packing up, Iris took Yueqi to Liluo's estimation workshop. Said to be an old friend of the owner, an old craftsman who made jewelry was waiting in the workshop.
I've been here for a long time, but I've never had the opportunity to come here, and I can't help but be a little excited.
Iris took Yueqi and entered from the side hall on the first floor, twisted the lotus porcelain vase next to the couch in the side hall, and saw the Bogu shelf on the wall slide to the side, leaving a small door for one person to pass through. Yueqi was dumbfounded, and looked at Iris, and Iris, who led her and entered the small door.
The small door entered, and Iris pressed a raised full moon totem on the wall, and the door behind it was sealed again. The surrounding lamps lit up one by one, although it was a little dim, but it could still be vaguely seen, and down the steps, there was a huge empty stone room.
Cautiously descending the steps with this iris, I saw that the iris stretched out a round fat hand, gathered spiritual power, his fingers flashed with purple light, and he drew a bird-like pattern into the air, and silently recited a spell in his mouth.
Suddenly, an invisible wall spread out like a curtain formed by rain, and the entire stone room was brightly lit! On the top of the stone room, the night pearl is installed on the glass cup, and a lantern gathered in the middle of the top with a strong light illuminates the environment in the stone room at once.
"Wow! Bun! You're amazing!" Tsukisu exclaimed in amazement at the iris. Iris is a little proud, but also a little embarrassed, after all, this enchantment can only be broken by knowing spells and drawings, regardless of the size of spiritual power.
Most of her cultivation is spent on rebuilding her bones and blood to transform her human form, and for other cultivations, she is also the weakest one among the spirits.
"Miss, you can do it later. Let's go quickly, the owners should be in a hurry. Iris said with a smile. I saw that the stone room was surrounded by chests with rare treasures, some of which shimmered with some unusual luster, and the iris did not stay.
Seeing that the barrier was opened, he grabbed Yueqi's hand and continued to move forward, bypassing the wall-like boxes and walking to the other end of the stone room, Yueqi's eyes looked at these rare treasures, and his eyes were full of the light of money! My heart blossomed.
I thought, it's gone! How much does this have to sell for! was stunned, only to see the iris pull her on the steps one by one, and with a wave in the air, the stone room returned to gray and empty, Yueqi was startled, and remembered the matter of the enchantment just now, and couldn't help but sigh that this hiding is really mysterious!
Iris pulled Yueqi up the steps and went out through a small door, Yueqi looked at the place where he came out just now, and it turned out to be a mirror the size of a person! Then touch the mirror with your hands, and feel the cold mirror, so tight!
Yueqi looked around, it turned out to be a girl's bedroom, and I also knew that Liluo rarely went to the store, so this must be Liluo's residence, and the owner was really thoughtful!
Iris stretched out her hand to tidy up her slightly messy hair for Yueqi and instructed, "Miss, don't mention Yuezifang when you go out." I'll tell you slowly when I turn around" Yueqi didn't understand a little, but nodded sensibly. The two of them came out of the bedroom, walked through the small courtyard in front of the door, entered through the back door of a house, and walked two steps into the lobby.
A dimly lit room, full of miscellaneous things, and a side hall on the side, led by an iris, and entered the side hall, which became bright. I saw the owner and an old man sitting on the Taishi chair in front of the window, drinking tea and talking about these things.
Riraku stood aside silently. Seeing Yueqi and them coming, he secretly winked and smiled mischievously.
Yueqi saw that the old man was short and a little thin, his hair had been mixed with so many white hairs, but there were few wrinkles on his face, and his eyes were shining, and he looked energetic. Yueqi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "My daughter got up late, so my mother waited for a long time." Who is this elder? ”
The owner saw that Yueqi was generous, and he was very satisfied, and the ghost knew that Yueqi in order to quickly integrate here, he observed the tone of Yuerong's hospitality all day long, and learned seven or eight points similar.
“
This is a close friend of my mother, who used to be a very famous goldsmith, and now he has opened a silver building, and their craftsmanship is the best. ”
When the old man heard the owner's praise, he couldn't help but smile a little proudly. said: "The owner of the workshop has praised it, what kind of jewelry does the girl want, you might as well talk about it." I don't think there's a suitable mold. ”
Yueqi blessed the elder's body and said softly: "The elder is well-informed, where is the general mermaid tear silver building used for inlay?"
"Shark tears?!" The elder exclaimed, "This merman's tears are extremely difficult to find, and she has never been old and has never been in her hands, where did the girl find them?" After that, he looked at Yueqi. I saw that although Yueqi was wearing a silver bead veil and dressed elegantly, it was difficult to hide the charm between his eyebrows and eyes, these eyes! It's more like a mouth-piercing charm.
Although this owner is also one of the best beauties in a million, there is no trace of resemblance to Yueqi in his eyebrows and eyes. Yueqi was unhurried, sat on the chair, glanced at the tea cup, and Iris immediately filled her with tea. Yueqi thought to herself that this girl is getting more and more upright!
She picked up the teacup slowly, playing with the lid of the bowl in her hand, she knew that the elder was looking at her, so she deliberately did not talk, and adjusted her posture slightly. The atmosphere was very embarrassing for a while, and the owner saw that Yueqi didn't talk and didn't say much, so he had to wait patiently, and the elder looked at Yueqi carefully, and saw that this girl was not timid, but leaked a domineering calmness, which made him even more confused.
Yueqi pinched the time, and saw that the elder was restless, so he said slowly: "I have eighteen top-grade mermaid tears in my hand. As for the origin of my beads, it is not for you to ask. ”
"Eighteen!" The elder exclaimed. Seeing that there was something in Yueqi's words, he didn't dare to speculate anymore.
"You're a famous goldsmith, so you might as well set it with gold. As for the style, I made eight slender and small irises, and the stamens were inlaid with mermaid tears, so that they did not need to be exposed, but wrapped with petals, and the beads were looming. ”
Yueqi said her own ideas. The elder listened and sketched a rough pattern in his mind. I saw Liluo put a stack of white paper on the tea table, and handed a small brush full of ink to the old man, who took the pen and looked at Liluo gratefully.
He lowered his head and drew the idea in his mind. The owner of the iris pear fell and looked at it curiously, only Yueqi ignored it, and continued to drink tea, still thinking that he was a little hungry before breakfast. After a while, the elder smoothly drew the style of the hairpin, the iris is delicate and delicate, and the whole is slender and small.
She is worthy of being an experienced craftsman, and with just a few words of her description, she can draw eight or nine points of resemblance to what she thinks in her heart! The elder handed it to Iris, and Iris gave the picture to Yueqi, who smiled with satisfaction and complimented: "It seems that the elder will be able to make the jewelry I want."
Seeing that Yueqi was satisfied, the elder suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked, "Do the remaining girls have other plans?"
Yueqi thought for a while and continued: "Pick two smaller ones to make earrings, the gold thread to make longer, or the iris pattern, the same as the hairpin, inlay the beads in the center of the flower, one of the largest to make rings, and the remaining seven, let's make a bracelet."
The patterns are all the same, and this is to be put together. It's just the same, the size of the flower should be delicate and slender. Although it is a flower type, it will not be too tacky, and as for the workmanship, I don't think the elders will let me down!"
It was not difficult for the elder to listen to Yueqi's idea, so he smiled and said, "Girl, don't worry. Seeing that the girl wants to make up a set, it must be the dowry that the girl designed for herself! I will do my best!"
"Poof......!" Yueqi squirted out a mouthful of tea, almost choking herself, and hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief. Explained: "No, no, no! The elders have misunderstood, but whether it is a dowry or not, please be careful with the elderly! By the way, how long is the construction period? ”
When the elder saw Yueqi's embarrassment, he couldn't help but be a little amused. continued: "The girl's requirements are so fine, and the style is relatively novel, I'm afraid it will take more than two months."
Yueqi listens to it for two months! That's okay, there are still ten days before the Oiran Contest, and she learned about this Oiran Contest last night, which is basically a beauty pageant. She still wants to use this set of jewelry to fight for the top five to earn those 10,000 taels of gold, she can't wait!" No, eight days! I must see things in eight days," Tsukisu thought for a moment and said.
The elder was a little embarrassed, and said, "If you hurry, this cost ......" Yueqi snorted coldly in her heart, old guy, waiting for her here, his eyes rolled, he counted his heart, and said unhurriedly with the teacup: "The cost?" How much do you think is appropriate. ”
When the elder saw her little girl, he glanced at the owner who was sitting next to him silently, but the owner remained silent. He had no choice but to say to Yueqi: "In addition to the gold needed to make it, it will be enough to have a hundred taels of silver."
"One hundred taels?" Yueqi asked rhetorically.
When the elder saw this, he thought she was too expensive, so his face was a little ugly and said, "The girl is in a hurry, but the price can't be lower." Seeing her say this, Yueqi decided that his offer was inflated, and seeing that the owner's expression was loose, Yueqi hurriedly said: "If I can pull some business for the elder's silver building, what discount can the elder give me?"
When the elder saw her say this, he thought that she was just introducing some boudoir women to make some jewelry together, and thinking that he could make a few more money, so he agreed: "Then it will be better, if the girl promotes an order, the old man will credit the bonus to the girl."
When Tsukisu saw that his goal had been achieved, he leaked a sly smile. "Dare to ask the name of the elder, which is the silver building?"
The elder smiled and said, "The old man's surname is Lu, and the hairpin cloud pavilion is it!"
Yueqi silently wrote it down, got up and saluted: "Then there is Master Lao Lu!" Then he took out the purse in the sleeve cage and handed it to Master Lu. Master Lu couldn't wait to open the purse and pour the beads inside into his palm, and couldn't help but admire.
These mermaid tears are full, surrounded by a glimmer of light, at a glance it is a merman with deep spiritual power, this girl is so generous, a shot is eighteen, think of this girl and the merman clan have this unfathomable relationship!
It was also the first time for Pear Fall and Iris to see so many beads in such good condition, and they were amazed. Only the owner couldn't see the expression, but the owner was a little worried. Master Lu carefully put the beads in his sleeve, and then got up tremblingly.
Said to the owner: "The old man will leave first, and the girl's construction period will not be postponed, so the owner can rest assured" The owner smiled and said softly: "You and I have always been at ease, the children are not more important, if there is any offense in the near future, don't care about my face." After speaking, he looked at Yueqi. Yueqi also stood up and saluted, and Lu Jinjiang waved his hand before leaving.
