Chapter 363: Craftsmanship

Your Highness going to the tool room again? The palace eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to smile flatteringly, his brain was not bad, this one picked the wood, and naturally he was going to find tools, and he didn't need Qingqing to speak, and said directly.

"I'm going to order a batch, but I'm going to pick a few ready-made emergencies first." Qingqing also knew the virtue of these people, and said it directly.

"This is natural, and some of the old foremen in the palace also use their own. What His Highness likes, draw it, and the minions will definitely rush out. "The palace eunuch also knew from the way Qingqing picked up the wood just now that she was not easy to fool, and her attitude was much better this time.

He is also telling the truth, in fact, there are not many ready-made tools in the carpentry workshop, and generally everything you want is to order it yourself. The habits of each craftsman are different, and many of the tools that are used are later changed by themselves. So when I heard her say that she wanted to order, she also responded to it.

"Well, you really, what do you like?" The queen sat on the side and said with disgust.

She is not young, her background is not obvious, she really started from her grandson and daughter-in-law, and she has survived until today. The palace eunuch is like this, and he looks like he is a lot more obedient, but she knows these people very well, these people are all red and white, this kind of suppleness is really not respect, but discrimination against Qingqing's identity. Some dog things just can't give them a good face, and they feel that they give it, not because they are good to them, but because their identity is not enough. If it weren't for the field for Qingqing Town here, I'm afraid that I wouldn't just refuse with a soft knife just now.

"Yes, if I had gone to learn embroidery, I guess I would have to be nitpicky and maddening." Qingqing was busy herself, and she didn't have the heart to think about what the queen was talking about. She still knows herself, and if she didn't have this character, she wouldn't have learned what she is today. In fact, no matter what you learn, nitpicking is basic.

"Then why don't you learn embroidery, even if you embroider a water duck, your father will have to cry." The queen was speechless, she couldn't embroider, this was said by the mother who taught her to embroider, saying that even if she embroidered a water duck, it would be good for her husband to look at it. However, she really hasn't embroidered, but his wife is different from her children, with the young emperor's temperament, Qingqing really embroidered a water duck for him, and the young emperor really had to cry. is just a daughter, originally favored, but still lost and regained, and now she is really favored. How did she know what Qingqing meant, if she went to learn embroidery, she could also learn to be first-class, and she couldn't embroider as a water duck.

"Well, then I'll make him a piano, what will he do?" Qingqing smiled, thinking about Qiao Dayong is as long as he is happy, he is happy, and he doesn't seem to have done anything for him. Now that I am making a piano for my father and future husband, it seems that I should really do something for him.

"Well, I didn't think about it, I might be a fool." The queen thought about it seriously and smiled.

The palace supervisor listened blankly, seeing that His Royal Highness, who had not yet made an order, was talking to the queen mother, it was called a lack of rules, but they were all accustomed to serving people, and they knew that it was so casual, the queen mother was still waiting on the side, looking at the favored one, and it was not that face-saving feeling, and the previous contempt was suddenly restrained. Of course, it was completely accepted because the young emperor came.

The young emperor went down to the court, and when he thought about it, he asked where the princess was, but he heard that the princess and the queen went to the palace to choose the materials for making the piano. Although she didn't know their relationship when she agreed, so she really recognized each other, but he didn't dare to tell Qingqing that he wanted her to make the piano. Now that Qingqing is really going to do it, the excitement is indescribable.

However, when he heard the conversation between the two of them at the door, the young emperor was embarrassed again, and he would go in, and he would not be said that he was stupid with joy. Just thinking about it, a little eunuch who went to get the conventional utensils that Qingqing asked came back, and when he saw the young emperor at the door, he knelt down busily: "Your Majesty!" ”

The place is not big, and the people in it can only come out obediently.

"Why did the emperor come over?"

"Knowing that you were coming, I came to you for a snack." The young emperor is worthy of always pretending to grow up, and this thing really can't move his cheekiness.

"Then I'll go back when my daughter finishes painting the accessories." Qingqing is busy, and she needs to finish drawing the tools quickly.

"What's this?" The young emperor hurriedly followed and looked, he didn't know something, and pointed to it. She drew what looked like a tong, but there was a ruler at the end, which was used to measure the thickness of the inner cavity of the guqin.

"Calipers, used to measure the size of the inner cavity of the piano body." Qingqing doesn't remember which dynasty or generation this invented, and she doesn't bother to think too much, is it important to be easy to do it yourself or to destroy the invention era? Then let's do it yourself!

"It's so big, can you handle it?" The young emperor looked at the size of the mark on it and compared it himself.

"It's too small to measure the depth, and it doesn't take much physical strength to make the piano, but it's really meticulous." Qingqing said casually while drawing.

At the beginning, Qingqing also had a set of her own tools, the master was an old-school person, and she felt that when she ate this line of food, she had to pay attention to everything, including tools. It's going to last a lifetime! That's what the master often says, so Qingqing's tools will be improved in the later stage, until she is completely proficient, so these data are all familiar with the heart, and at this time, it is really done in one go. Including, the hand planer and chisel she wanted to use were all drawn accurately for the man by the way.

"You don't want a little job to do some rough work for you?" The queen looked at those tools and felt that it was a bit ruined, she felt that she was wrong again, this shouldn't be a girl, look at the toys she likes, there really is no one that a girl should like.

"This really can't be helped, only I know about the feeling." Qingqing shook her head, a very important reason why she likes to make guqin is that this is a job that uses her brain and has a sense of achievement, and it is not something that can be achieved by the master by moving his mouth. The sound of each piano is actually different, and sometimes, everything depends on the state of mind of the pianist at that moment, and there is a world of difference between one more knife and one less knife. It's really a trade-off! Yes, the master who makes the piano is not called a luthier, but a prayer master, and everything is full of Zen.

"Legend has it that Fuxi's violin making is very exquisite. He believed that the phoenix was the king of birds, and if it wasn't for the plane tree, it wouldn't perch on the tree, so when he was making the violin, he asked someone to cut the plane tree, and he had to choose three feet high and cut it into three sections. It represents the three talents of heaven, earth and man. When choosing wood, he first takes a section and knocks it, if the sound is too clear, he thinks the wood is too light, don't; Take another section and knock it, if the sound is too muddy, think the wood is too heavy, and don't want it; Finally, take a section that is not light or heavy, flick it with your fingers, the sound is quite clear, and the weight is also suitable, then send the wood into the running water, soak it for 72 days, and then take it out and dry it in the shade, and then ask a senior craftsman to make a guqin. Do you have time? "The young emperor is not studying in vain, teasing his daughter.
