Chapter 62: The Crown of Light Gold

"Presumably Miss Gui Er has also heard that my sisters are going to Beijing to dance during the Mid-Autumn Festival." Feifeng said straight to the point.

Gui Mingyue nodded and motioned for her to continue. Su Tingwei was a little puzzled, what do you two sisters have to do with Mingyue when they dance.

Qingluan continued, "What the two of us are good at is the step dance, this dance requires the dancer to be slender and elegant, and the clothes, shoes and jewelry must also be absolutely light, as long as there is a little thickness, it will ruin this ......dance."

Gui Mingyue has seen the relevant introduction to this step dance in her previous life, saying that it is the originality of Han Zhao Feiyan, also known as the palm dance, the highest level of this dance is a sense of fluttering, and the whole body of the dance is like a flower branch trembling lightly, which is especially cute.

"So, how do you want me to help?" Gui Mingyue asked.

"The two of us usually practice this dance when no one is around, barefoot and wearing a naked veil," Qingluan then said worriedly, "However, this time it is in front of the temple, and it is considered disrespectful to distribute it, and it is considered immodest to distribute it." Fortunately, some time ago, we found a kind of fine shark yarn, which was worn as soft as a feather, and did not lose its honor in front of the temple. Only this suitable ornament has not yet been ......."

"Yes, Miss Gui Er, I have heard that the jewelry patterns you made are extraordinary, please help us two sisters," Feifeng looked at Gui Mingyue earnestly, and then added: "As long as you are willing to help us, we will thank each other with a lot of money!" ”

Su Tingwei saw that the two slender and slender women had pleading and touching eyes, and she couldn't help but feel pity as a woman, so she also shook Gui Mingyue's arm and said, "Mingyue, you can help them." ”

Weighing as much as a feather...... Gui Mingyue was speechless for a long time, she didn't want to help, even if it was for the thousand gold, that is, ten thousand taels of silver, she didn't want to give up this opportunity to make money. It's just that this has to be displayed in front of the palace, and it can't be less gorgeous, and it has to be extremely light jewelry like a feather, even if she can draw a pattern, I'm afraid that she can't make it with her mother's skills.

"It's not that I won't help, it's just that the piece of jewelry you asked for is so extraordinary that I can only try my best, but don't put all your hopes on my side, and find a few more craftsmen to figure it out together. So, is it possible? ”

Qingluan and Feifeng glanced at each other and said yes.

After the three of them left, they put on a sad look again, they didn't look for other craftsmen, even the craftsmen of Bianliang were found, but when they heard this unbelievable request, they all refused. At present, the hope is really placed on the owner of the Angelica Pavilion.

The worries of the past few days have made the two sisters exhausted, and this time they danced, not seeking to change their fate from now on, but only to spend it safely.

Seeing that the day of entering Beijing was getting closer and closer, Qingluan and Feifeng posted notices and did not find a craftsman who dared to take this job. Gui Mingyue still has no specific ideas, that kind of extremely important occasion, wearing a crown is the most appropriate, but things like a crown have always been complicated and gorgeous, and naturally they are heavier than ordinary ornaments.

Just when everyone was about to give up, things took a turn for the worse.

One day, Yu suddenly received a letter from her mother's family in Jiangling Mansion, saying that her brother's son-in-law, that is, her nephew Yue Hongbo, had traveled around and had recently arrived in Nanyang County, hoping that she would be taken care of as an aunt. There were only a few words in the letter, but Yu couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw his brother's familiar handwriting.

Hurriedly summoned Gui Chengzhi, who was in Hu Bugui, Gui Mingyue of Angelica Pavilion went home as soon as possible, and Gui Jingxue and Gui Chengqi dispersed their studies and returned to Mingyue one step back.

Yu Hongbo saw the generous, gentle, and delicate cousin Jingxue in front of him, and he rarely blushed a little, but fortunately, his face was black and others couldn't see the redness.

"Daddy, mother, we're back." With a hearty and crisp voice, a little girl wearing a tuanhua embroidered gown and a pine-leaf peony-colored carved silk skirt walked in quickly. When I walked in, I had a bright face, and I had extraordinary slanted eyes that were smiling, and these facial features were three or four points similar to Jingxue's cousin, but this temperament was unique, just like the brilliance of this room hit her alone. It's not okay if people don't pay attention, but if they do, they get close and like.

Looking at the people in this room again, when I saw her come in, my face was immediately happy, and my eyes were full of pampering. My aunt went up to meet the concerned chatter, and my uncle even twisted the handkerchief himself and took it to wipe her face...... I always thought it was the young and old little cousin who returned to Qi Lu and ran over, calling the second sister sweetly, as if there was a basket of words to talk to her. It should be Gui Chengzhi's cousin who came later, he didn't have this kind of treatment, but seeing that he was obviously used to this kind of scene, he just smiled generously later.

"Mingyue, this is our cousin Hongbo" Gui Jingxue stepped forward and pulled Gui Mingyue to introduce people.

"Mingyue has seen my cousin" Gui Mingyue smiled and said a blessing, "Cousin has worked the road, tomorrow a few of us will take you to take a walk in this Nanyang County." Gui Mingyue looked at this cousin who was younger than her brother, but tall and burly, her face was a healthy bronze, and her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Yu's, which made her feel very kind.

Looking at his demeanor and demeanor, he was quite sparse and chic, which in his previous life, Yu Hongbo was the most popular "travel friend", he could walk all over the famous mountains and rivers of Dadong, and see different scenery and people, which is really enviable.

"Yue'er, your cousin has just arrived, you know to go out for a walk, and you want him to rest at home for a few days." Yu said angrily.

"Mother, let's take my cousin around for a swim to see the beautiful scenery and eat delicious food, which is also a kind of rest." Gui Mingyue said playfully.

"What my cousin said is exactly what I mean" This little cousin is really a delicate and clear second person, no wonder my aunt's family revolves around her.

On the second day, it happened that Meng Fuzi had something to do at home, so he also gave the students a vacation, but he still asked the students to recite one piece of Zuo Chuan and two large characters at home.

Gui Chengzhi called a spacious carriage and everyone went together.

"I'm not going!" Gui Jingxue resigned.

"No, eldest sister, you have to go," Gui Mingyue didn't follow, "If you don't go, I'm just a girl, how bad it is." ”

"Go, you can visit Nanyang County by yourself on weekdays, how come you can't go without anyone now?" Gui Jingxue teased her funny.

Although Gui Jingxue said this, she also got into the carriage from the goodness, and Yu Hongbo was relieved for no reason when she saw this.

Nanyang County is located on the north side of Jiangling Mansion, which is different from the gentle and chic people of Jiangling Mansion, but the building atmosphere is bright and the folk customs are free and cheerful, which is very suitable for Yu Hongbo's hearty personality, and he decided to stay here for a few more days.

"Brother Chengzhi, your Hu Bugui flower shop is really unique in the Great Eastern Dynasty, why don't you consider opening your business to Jiangling Mansion? Our women are especially gentle as water, and they especially love flowers and understand flowers......"

"Young Master Cousin, hearing you say this, our women in Nanyang County are not as gentle as water?" Jin Qi'er was used to being lawless by Gui Mingyue, and she couldn't help but joke.

Yu Hongbo glanced at Gui Jingxue and hurriedly explained, but these words were always easy to get darker and darker, making everyone laugh.

When he arrived at the Angelica Pavilion in Gui Mingyue, because he was from a family of jewelry craftsmen, Yu Hongbo looked around, then sat down to drink tea without saying much.

Gui Mingyue understands that although the head of the store is better than the novelty of the style and the quality of the materials, in terms of workmanship skills, it is still not hot enough in a family of craftsmen like Yu Hongbo. This is also the reason why Gui Mingyue does not want to make this jewelry shop bigger at present.

Looking at the calluses on Yu Hongbo's fingers, Gui Mingyue heard her mother say that the children and grandchildren of their Yu family should learn the craft of making hairpins from an early age, especially men, and they must practice hard. Gui Mingyue suddenly had an idea, and said what the two young ladies who went to Yongyun Tower a few days ago asked for by the two young ladies who went to Yongyun Tower, Qingluan and Feifeng.

Yu Hongbo thought for a moment and said: "This lightest jewelry, in addition to the craftsmanship of the craftsman, also needs to be exquisite materials, the gold, silver and copper usually used to make hairpins are too heavy, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

When Gui Mingyue heard it, she knew that there was a door, "Does my cousin have the right material?" ”

Yu Hongbo took out a stone-like dusty thing from the cloth bag on his waist and put it in Gui Mingyue's hand, Gui Mingyue tried it, and the goose-egg-sized thing was weightless.

"This thing was obtained by chance in the mountains when I traveled, and when it was first chiseled out of the rocks, it was extremely bright and no worse than silver, and the texture of this soft and malleable material was also very similar to silver. However, when he took out the hole, he turned into such a dusty appearance in a moment...... "Yu Hongbo said: "I don't know if this is useful to you, this is the lightest thing I have ever seen." ”

Gui Mingyue looked at the thing in his hand, the layer of ash on the outside should have been oxidized, and the texture was the texture of metal, it should be light metal, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Cousin, I heard that the Yu family's hairpin-making skills are superb, so this method of gilding is naturally not a problem, right?" Gui Mingyue asked tentatively.

When Yu Hongbo heard this, he couldn't help but smile to himself: "Naturally." ”

Their Yu family is still in decline because of poor management. But in this Great Eastern Dynasty, I don't dare to say anything else, only the gilding method of this head, the Yu family said second, and no one should say first.

Gui Mingyue couldn't care about drinking tea at the moment, so she instructed the guys in the store to bring rice paper and charcoal, and brushed and painted on the spot.

Facing Yu Hongbo's surprised expression, Gui Jingxue explained with a smile: "She is like this, as long as it involves the business of Angelica Pavilion, she will pounce on tea and dinner without thinking about it." ”

Gui Chengzhi also said strangely: "Not only Angelica Pavilion, Yue'er is also interested in Hu Bugui. ”

"What you said is not right, my second sister is actually just interested in silver." Gui Chengqi, who had been silent, said suddenly.

"Yes, yes, what the second young master said is right!" Jin Qi'er nodded vigorously in agreement.

……

Gui Mingyue painted the crown of the head, plus Yu Hongbo's skills and the credit of the light metal. These two crowns were placed in front of the two sisters of Qingluan Feifeng who hugged the cloud building on the third day.

Jin Qi'er said that this crown, my young lady named it the crown of light gold.

The gilt gold silk knot is in the shape of a luan and a crane, and the tassel is made of colorful beads and falls naturally. The delicate jade is chiseled into thin pieces around the crown of the head, and a breeze is enough to make it tremble, making a crisp sound of gold and jade. The crown was a foot high, and when it was weighed on a scale, it weighed only two or three (1).

And this light gold crown, which was also put in front of the two young ladies, were two delicate and unusual anklets, and quite simple and natural atmosphere. The thin pieces of red jade, cat's eye, pearl, and jade are connected into a net with light gold sheets, and the colors are gorgeous, and the shapes are not specially polished, highlighting their strange shapes, showing a gorgeous and natural beauty.
