Chapter 3 The Kite Begins! Strange side quests
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the craftsmen to set the rules.
Early in the morning, the craftsmen took their paper kites to the gate of Changle Palace and waited for the princess to summon them. The morning sun was not dazzling, but they felt like a ray on their backs, and their hearts were uneasy.
By the time Xu Jiao got up, it was almost noon, and the palace people didn't dare to disturb the princess's sleep because of the craftsman, so they had to wait outside for several hours, and now they were all sweating.
Xu Jiao couldn't help it, but she couldn't show it and collapsed her personality, so she could only make up for the guilt in her heart by pretending to lose her temper.
"Are you stupid or stupid, I think the paper kite thing is so important, why don't you wake me up. One by one, they were sweating outside, trying to come in and dirty my eyes or smoke my nose. Take them all to shower and change their clothes and come back to see me after dinner, I don't have time to see them now, I'm hungry. ”
The craftsmen waiting outside were a little physically exhausted, but they didn't dare to lose their temper for fear of colliding with the nobles.
At this time, two palace people who had been trained by the princess walked out of the gate of Changle Palace.
"Let's go, the princess ordered me to take you to the bath and change your clothes and see her again, the princess is going to eat now."
The craftsmen were relieved, they were indeed a little tired. When the bath was finished, they all changed into new clothes brought by the palace people, which were said to have been forgotten by the princess's curry, and just gave them to wear.
This fabric is silky and cold, and I don't know what the material is, but as soon as I put it on, I feel refreshed and breathable. Also, the tribute to the princess, even if the princess doesn't look down on it, is something they have never seen or touched in their lives.
The status of craftsmen is not high, although they are craftsmen, but craftsmen are low-class. The common people envy the craftsman who can make money, and the good craftsmanship is called a master, but as long as he enters the craftsman's register, his status is inferior, and his descendants cannot participate in the imperial examination. Even the craftsmen who have entered the palace are the same, and they only add two points of decency. Now that the princess has given them clothes and food, they are very happy in their hearts, and they will be able to blow it to others when they go out to drink and eat in the future.
Ding Rong gently rubbed the paper kite in his hand, and secretly made up his mind that he must let the things he made into the eyes of the princess.
When the meal was over, everyone had dressed themselves, and they heard that the princess was afraid that her eyes would be stained by her untidy clothes, and that they could not make such a mistake.
Xu Jiao didn't say a word, took each paper kite in her hand and looked at it carefully, and now she has read more than half of it, and she still hasn't commented on a word, and everyone is a little nervous.
At this moment, Xu Jiao is arguing with the system in her heart, and she obviously thinks that it is perfect just now when there are a few paper kites, but the system still believes that it has failed.
In a blink of an eye, Ding Rong's paper kite was again, and her eyes lit up.
It wasn't because she saw anything, but because the system suddenly reported: "Ding, although there are still flaws, it is qualified." ”
Finally completed a side quest, here she has 20 task points, she is in a good mood, and her eyes are much more peaceful when she looks at Ding Rong.
"I remember you, what's your name, this paper kite did a good job." She said softly.
Ding Rong was overjoyed and said, "The slave maid is called Ding Rong, and Princess Xie praises her." This time to make this paper kite, thanks to His Majesty for the princess to make paper kite things open the inner library, slave to the inner library to choose a rare Fang Liu yarn to make the soft side of this paper kite, Fang Liu yarn is delicate and not easy to break, with a knife is difficult to cut, this can make this paper kite more solid. ”
Xu Jiao smiled: "You don't speak for yourself, I think your bearing is different from others, but what is the special reason?" ”
Speaking of what he is good at, Ding Rong is a little more confident: "It is not easy to make a kite, the size, weight and elasticity of the kite must have a special balance point to make it completely symmetrical." The special technique handed down from the ancestors of slaves and maids can find the most beautiful and balanced points of the items......"
Ding Rong began to talk eloquently, and the rest of the people were confused, but Xu Jiao probably understood what he meant, this should be the ancient version of the golden ratio, 0.618.
"Since you have made this paper kite, make one more for me, the one that is bigger and taller than you."
Xu Jiao has just received the second side quest: get a qualified kite, double the size, and reward 5 task points.
No matter how small the mosquito is, it's a piece of meat, and the system told her when chatting with her before that the task point reached 100 to open the mall, and Xu Jiao began to look forward to something in the mall.
Ding Rong sent the big paper kite requested by the princess the next day, and as long as this thing is grasped, it is still very fast to make.
"Let's go, let's go out to the imperial garden to put paper kites, Zhuqing, you take ten gold rewards for Ding Rong."
"Thank you, princess!" Ding Rong knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, and raised his head The princess was no longer in the palace, he was very excited in his heart, not all for the ten gold, but the princess had already remembered his name, if the princess remembered the palace craftsman in the future, he might be summoned more than others.
Xu Jiao walked on the stone path of the Imperial Garden with a kite, not knowing when the next side quest would be triggered, she was only thirteen years old at the moment, and there was no possibility that she would have a fief immediately. You can only do more side quests and open the mall as soon as possible.
"Princess, it's here, it's here, Lan Ruo hasn't seen such a big paper kite yet, I really want to see it soon." Lan Ruo beside him kept thinking about it.
"Since you like it so much, you can put it yourself, and it's tiring to run with paper kites, so I won't let it go."
Lan Ruo was the most lively of the four personal maids, and when she heard this, she didn't shirk it, took the kite and ran away. It's a pity that it can't be successful when it runs, such a big kite, Lan Ruo tried several times and couldn't put it up, and he was so tired that he was sweating profusely.
"You, and you, go try." Lan Ruo gasped as he pointed to the two strong eunuchs to try.
These two young eunuchs had a lot of strength and speed, and they succeeded in one attempt.
Xu Jiao looked happy, and suddenly remembered that her father had even opened the inner library for her kite, this kite was made, and if she didn't show her father how to do it, she would go, let the two eunuchs hold the kite and keep up, she was going to find her father to show off her new toy.
Zhao Qian was guarding outside the Wenqing Hall at the moment, and from a distance, he saw Xu Jiao coming over with a large number of palace people.
"Ouch, my princess, why are you here now. Your Majesty is discussing with the brave general, and the household department is still in the army, so there should be no time for this meeting. Zhao Qian strode forward and arched his hand.
"Why is General Yongwu here now, is something wrong?" Xu Jiao has an impression of the brave general, the general Bob, can fight well, use soldiers like a god, for decades relying on the terrain advantages of the border passes, and protect the military strength of the Yuehua country well, this general is still a good friend of his father who grew up together, the relationship is very close, she also hugged her when she was a child.
However, the reason why Xu Jiao was impressed by him was because his name, Bob, had the same name as the protagonist in a movie she watched before. That movie is called Bob the Stray Cat, and the main character, Bob, is a big orange cat with a round head, and the general's head is also big and round.
"I don't know what the specific thing is, the old slave doesn't know what happened, the general has only been in for a while, and the princess will come back on an unknown day, how tired he is waiting here." Zhao Qian replied with a smile.
Xu Jiao looked at the entrance of the hall and found an unfamiliar face in the far corner. He is extremely tall, at least one meter and eight meters by sight, which is rare in ancient times.
He doesn't look very old, his skin is bronzed, but his facial features are very delicate, a little out of harmony, but he is unexpectedly quite attractive.
"Eh, who are you, why haven't I seen you on weekdays?"
Fang Jiwen was thinking about what the general told him before he came, and the general said that instead of following him and continuing to work as a guard to improve his qualifications, it was better to go to the border pass army and get promoted with military merits.
Suddenly, he heard a female voice near him, and when he raised his eyes, the woman's skin was better than snow, her eyebrows were like crescent moons, and she had a pair of smiling eyes.
He was stunned for a while before replying: "The minister is not a person in the palace, but a seven-rank military general under the Yongwu general, and he entered the palace this time to serve the general." ”
Xu Jiao saw his dumbfounded appearance, so she became teased and said with a smile: "You haven't seen me, and you don't know who I am, why do you call yourself a minister." ”
Fang Jiwen arched his hand and replied: "Miss Fang Mouguan, you are dressed gorgeously and in palace clothes, you must be a noble person in this palace." ”
"Oh, it turns out that someone on your side is a guy who wins people by his clothes, but he doesn't know that well-dressed beasts can also wear beautiful clothes." Xu Jiao hid her face and smiled, deliberately breaking some crooked reasoning to embarrass him.
"Something is not ......"
"Not what?" Xu Jiao continued to ask.
Fang Jiwen was speechless for a while, he was a little wooden on weekdays, and he was not good at arguing with others, so he had to bend down to make amends to Xu Jiao.
"You don't have to make amends, you are idle now, why don't you accompany me to put the paper kite, my newly made big paper kite, I promise you haven't seen it." Xu Jiao beckoned to Fang Jiwen and invited him to meet her big kite together.
That's when it happened.
"Ding, start side quest 3: tie Fang Jiwen to the kite and send him on a journey! 50 mission points will be awarded, and failure will be considered as a failure of all missions. ”
Yes?!!! What a strange task!
