Chapter 78: The Blacksmith's Shop

Seeing that Liu Tingxi's face was still melancholy, Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help but sigh a little.

She met privately with a man that day, thinking that she should have already belonged, and she had to commit herself to the palace, and she was really a poor person!

The atmosphere was a little heavy, and Shen Ruoxiao changed the topic.

Turning around, she pointed to the scenery in Liu Tingxi's courtyard and praised her: "Concubine Liu, your small courtyard is very chic and quiet by you, and it is quiet and quiet with you, I appreciate it very much." ”

Liu Tingxi flushed slightly, she quickly restrained her sadness, and shook her head with a smile, "The princess doesn't want to make fun of the concubine, this is just a little hobby of the concubine's idleness!" ”

Saying that, the two have moved to the side of the water tank in the courtyard, the water in the tank is swaying, and the two water lilies born side by side have their own merits, one blooms warmly and delicately like fire, and the other is shy and budding.

Shen Ruoxiao immediately became interested, she pointed to the water tank and smiled like a flower, "This water lily is chic, and the only fly in the ointment is that it is trapped in this small world." ”

"What the princess said is very good, fortunately, they don't fight or grab, they are safe, and they are peaceful and beautiful."

Shen Ruoxiao heard Liu Tingxi's words, and couldn't help but raise his eyes and take a deep look at the slightly sad woman in front of him.

"Concubine Liu, do you want to make this water lily? Blooming quietly in this huge palace, silently withering? ”

"If you can, the concubine is willing, but I don't know if the concubine has such a blessing, and she can live her life quietly."

"What are these words? Is there anyone else who wants to fight with you? ”

"Many times, it always backfires, I don't know if the princess knows that there will be a concubine Hu who will enter the palace in the near future? I don't know what kind of temperament this person is, can he tolerate the quiet place of the concubine? ”

Just left a concubine Lu, and another concubine Hu?

This dog prince is really blessed, and he is not afraid of not being able to take care of it!

Shen Luoxiao's face was full of astonishment, and he was speechless, "This prince really spares no effort!" He has been taking concubines for three days, and he is not afraid of kidney failure! ”

If it sounds good, it is romantic, and if it is bad, it is a big breed, a horse.

Shen Ruoxiao looked disdainful, pursed his lips, and his subordinates intentionally or unintentionally teased the clear water in the water tank.

The water lilies floating on the surface of the water, with the water waves rippling slightly, the reflection of Shen Ruoxiao in the clear water was frowning and contemplative.

Liu Tingxi took in everything, and she was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, the princess, who is usually very arrogant, is quite concerned about the prince's affairs, and this time the princess takes a concubine, presumably the princess will have some mustard in her heart.

Liu Tingxi sighed lightly, slowly walked to Shen Ruoxiao's side, and comforted: "Princess, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone the prince?" Don't take it to heart! As soon as you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, and whoever delivers the sincerity first will lose. ”

This evil feudal traditional thinking, I don't know how many women have been poisoned!

Shen Ruoxiao frowned lightly, and turned to look at Liu Tingxi, "Concubine Liu, your heart is quite wide, and she doesn't care at all?" ”

"I ...... I ......"

She tentatively asked Liu Tingxi to see her reaction, and when she saw that she was stunned and didn't know how to answer, Shen Ruoxiao instantly understood.

Sure enough, her heart is not in the palace at all, and she can't be with her beloved, so she will be so heartbroken.

It's really pitiful that lovers can't end up married!

Shen Ruoxiao saw that she was a little panicked, and immediately hinted softly, "If Concubine Liu has the heart to fly out of this high-walled deep courtyard, I can help you." ”

The words were very clear, and Liu Tingxi was a little unstable at his feet, and he retreated again and again.

Did the princess know something?

Trapped in this deep mansion compound, she has long been like a walking corpse, and now she finally has a little ripple, and she really doesn't want to give up.

Between the words, the sadness between her brows rose again, and she became even more sorrowful.

All of a sudden, the entire courtyard fell silent, and only the sound of rippling water could be heard.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward, obviously Liu Tingxi was not very willing to confess, and she was not good at asking any more.

Then help her secretly!

Shen Ruoxiao looked at the sky, the sun had already climbed overhead, and she was shocked.

She made an appointment with her beautiful sister to meet in the Spring House today, and she almost forgot about it!

She coughed lightly and shook off the wet droplets of water on her hands.

"I remember that there are still some things to deal with, so I will say goodbye first, and come back to you when I have time to gossip."

Leaving Liu Tingxi's small courtyard, Shen Ruoxiao returned to his courtyard.

What should I wear to see my beautiful sister? It's a bit tricky to be without a soy!

Shen Ruoxiao looked at the various rouge gouaches on the dresser in the room, and he didn't know how to start.

After making a round around, she picked out a small and delicate purple gold butterfly-patterned jade crown from the jewelry box.

Gently erected the three thousand green silks high, and selected a jade dark pattern narcissus hairpin to pin the hair crown to fix the hair.

She took the cigarette and swept the moth eyebrows, and the cheeks that were not powdered could be broken by blowing.

She rummaged left and right for the various rouge gouaches on the dresser, and the distant mountain-like eyebrows immediately frowned together.

The smell of these rouge gouaches is very strong, so forget it!

She threw down the rouge gouache in her hand, held the bronze mirror in front of her with both hands, and looked at it carefully. 110 eBooks

It doesn't look bad without grease and powder!

The moment she clapped her hands and prepared to get up, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in the mirror.

Shen Ruoxiao was curious, and took a closer look, which turned out to be the black gold black iron resting on the windowsill opposite the mirror.

How did she almost forget about business! I came back in a hurry last night, and I casually threw the black gold black iron on the windowsill and fell asleep.

Turning around, she found a plain Yunjin placket pleated skirt in the wardrobe, and after changing into it, she found a black coarse cloth shirt, wrapped the black black black iron, and went out with her things.

Along the way, she walked through the bustling streets and alleys, and she carefully watched the artisan shops, but searched for a long time without success.

In desperation, she walked to a corner of the street, and slowly squatted down in front of a skinny little beggar with bright eyes.

If you want to be familiar with every corner of the capital, it has to be these little beggars!

"Little brother, my sister asked you about something, do you know where there is a blacksmith shop in the city?"

The little beggar raised his eyes and glanced at him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and soon he looked like a ruffian again, don't look away, but his hand was raised involuntarily, and his thin fingers rubbed in front of Shen Ruoxiao.

"Looking for someone and asking for directions, one or two lines of silver at a time!"

This little guy is shrewd, so cunning at a young age!

Shen Ruoxiao was a little speechless, she reluctantly took out a tael of silver from her waist and put it in the hands of the little beggar.

"Can you say it now?"

The little beggar was startled at first, but soon his eyes lit up and he smiled.

He picked up the silver and bit it, and when he was sure that it was true, he looked around left and right, quickly stuffed the silver into his pocket, and stood up.

"The blacksmith's shop! I know that there is a master who strikes iron there, known as Master Zhao, but it is amazing, you come with me! ”

Saying that, he shuttled through the crowd by himself, and Shen Ruoxiao also followed closely step by step, and she became interested in this little beggar all the way.

"Little brother, listen to your accent, you don't seem to be a local! Why are you begging for a living here? What about your family! ”

A series of questions rushed into the little beggar's ears, and his back was visibly stunned, and his steps slowed down slightly.

"I don't have any family."

The little beggar turned his head, already in tears, and after wiping his sleeve carelessly, he pointed to a Zhao blacksmith shop not far away.

"Sister, the place you are looking for is here, right there!"

After saying that, he slipped into the crowd, like a loach, and disappeared without a trace in a moment.

Shen Ruoxiao was stunned, and followed the back of the little beggar for a long time before coming back to his senses.

Her words must have touched the little beggar's sadness, alas......

She shook her head and turned to walk towards Zhao's blacksmith shop.

"Ding...... Puff ......" The sound of hammers pounding weapons came sonorously.

Shen Ruoxiao took two steps closer, and a huge iron furnace appeared in front of him, the furnace body was red, and a raging fire was burning under the furnace.

A blacksmith was adding firewood to the stove, and the tongue of fire instantly swallowed the firewood, and there was a crackling and restlessness.

There was a large square pool next to the iron furnace, and the blacksmiths threw the burned red iron into the pool, and the white gas came out.

The pool was not heated, but the water in the pool was already boiling and tumbling.

This is it!

After Shen Luoxiao inspected for a week, she walked up to a young man who was adding firewood and said loudly, "Little brother, may I ask if you are in charge?" ”

The noisy hammering sound instantly drowned out Shen Ruoxiao's words, and she raised her voice again and said, "May I ask who Master Zhao is?" ”

At this moment, the voice was loud enough, and she directly shouted to the workers who were working, and everyone looked at her together.

This girl looks so smart, I didn't expect her voice to be so loud!

The man who added firewood couldn't help but pluck out his ears, he straightened up and pointed to an old man next to the weapon rack behind the blacksmith shop.

"Girl, where is the Master Zhao you are looking for."

Master Zhao wiped the weapons on the shelf by himself, and didn't take Shen Ruoxiao seriously, he didn't raise his eyebrows, but the corners of his mouth sneered.

"Girl, are you in the wrong place? This is a blacksmith's shop, but you can't beat the gold and silver jewelry used by the ladies. ”

"I'm not wrong, I'm looking for this, I heard that Master Zhao's craftsmanship is outstanding, so I specially came here to ask Master Zhao to help me create two divine weapons."

Master Zhao shook his head, still wiping his weapon, and did not say anything.

Shen Ruoxiao smiled lightly, she didn't care, she slowly stepped forward, walked to Master Zhao, and carefully observed the weapons on the shelf.

"It's really good, every blade is just right, the blade is sharp, the hilt is light, and the hidden weapon is exquisite." She brushed her fingers over the weapons on the shelves one by one, and her mouth was a simple evaluation.

His words aroused Master Zhao's curiosity, and he put down the rag in his hand and carefully looked at the person in front of him.

A pair of light and bright apricot eyes, looking forward to the brilliance, Qiong's nose is slightly upturned, delicate and chic, and the red lips are like blood, and they are shallow.

"You girl is very interesting, you actually know some weapons, but in the end, it's your daughter's family, how can you really understand the essence of these weapons!"

Soon, a touch of disdain replaced the amazement in Master Zhao's eyes, and he fiddled with his weapon sideways, no longer paying attention to Shen Ruoxiao.
