Chapter 49

Xiaobao, who has a bad mouth, after seeing them one by one and smelling more than a dozen nurses brought by human teeth, as always, did not give face, did not pick any of them, and sprinkled the last nurse, one body and one hand of urine.

Liu Qing felt sorry for her son, afraid that she would cover the rash with wet diapers, so she hurriedly asked the nurse to take her away, take her back to the west courtyard, take a bath, change into clean clothes and non-wet diapers, of course, as an apology, she also took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Ren Yazi, saying that she asked her to take the mother-in-law to wash the clothes, as for how the human tooth planned to share the money with the mother-in-law, she didn't plan to ask in detail.

There are rules for one line of work, she is just a layman, there is no need to be too lenient.

Although Ren Yazi didn't get the commission of the introducer, he got Liu Qingxin's reward, and he was in a good mood.

"Xiaobao, Xiaobao, you are really my living ancestor!"

Sighing helplessly, Liu Qingxin stroked his forehead with his hand, slowly stood up with the armrest of the chair, thinking that in the backyard, there was a child who was more difficult to coax than Xiaobao, and was pretentious, the green tendons on his forehead, he couldn't help but bulge, "Let's go and get busy with you, I'll rest here for a while, and when Sister-in-law Jiang comes back with the silversmith and explains the matter of making the longevity lock, I will go back to the backyard, the old man is injured, and there is no one around to take care of it, and it's not a problem." ”

Hearing Liu Qingxin say this, the mother-in-law knew that they shouldn't be here anymore to get in the way of her eyes, exchanged glances with each other, and bowed to her and went about their work.

Liu Qingxin waited for about a cup of tea, and then Sister-in-law Jiang took two silversmiths and hurried back from the outside in small steps.

"Ma'am. These two are the best silversmiths in our town. ”

Respectfully saluting Liu Qingxin, Sister-in-law Jiang pointed to the two silversmiths behind her. Introduce her, "This one is taller." Seven or eight years ago, the only one in our town who was selected as a show girl, Miss Zhang's second lady, played a set of jewelry, it is said that even His Majesty the Emperor at that time praised her for complementing that set of jewelry. It's like a natural thing. ”

After introducing the silversmith surnamed Jin, Sister-in-law Jiang paused slightly, saw that Liu Qingxin was still looking at herself, and when she continued, she took another step to the side, pointed to another short and fat silversmith and said, "This long-looking rich silversmith, surnamed Gu, was a royal craftsman, because his ancestors would not please his boss." He was reprimanded and moved to settle in our town, where he was good at making sterling silver. Nowadays, there are often doctors in the capital, who come from thousands of miles to find him to make all kinds of silver needles for acupuncture, and the slave maid thinks that people who are so well-informed like the lord and the lady must not be able to get into the eyes of ordinary things, so. So he ran to the west of the city, and brought the two of them to come. ”

From the shop of the willow light heart. To the downtown street in the west of the city, it has to be half a mile to say the least. Sister-in-law Jiang ran over there to find someone, and she didn't let the family coachman set the car, this back and forth, it only took a stick of incense or so.

"The two masters are willing to give up, which really makes the slave family feel that they are full of brilliance."

After listening to Sister-in-law Jiang's report on the skills of these two silversmiths, Liu Qingxin got up with a smile, said politely to them, and called the mother-in-law who was sweeping in other rooms to come over and ask them to move chairs for the two silversmiths to sit on, "Originally, the slave family was still worried, afraid that there would be no good craftsmen in the town, so I made a long-life lock for my Xiaobao and tempered the silver needle for my husband...... Now, seeing the two masters, the worries in my heart have disappeared all of a sudden! Sister-in-law Jiang, you go to the backyard study, help me get the four treasures of the study, I painted the family emblem on the longevity lock to Master Jin, so that he can go back and slowly figure out how to make this lock roughly flawless! ”

Liu Qing thought in her heart that she was just doing what she could, the best thing she could for her Xiaobao, but she never dreamed that she spared no money today, and the longevity lock made for Xiaobao would give him a "justifiable" identity one day in the future, as well as the happiness that would follow.

Sister-in-law Jiang took the order and left, and soon, she moved the four treasures of the study for Liu Qingxin.

Liu lightly picked up the pen and studied the ink, with her boring when she practiced a few strokes, over time, it was really a small success, to the goldsmith to draw a pattern, almost no need to make modifications, a positive, a reverse, the center of the front, with Yang engraved Ling Jun painted to her the strange symbol, the center of the back, with Yin carved "Chang Luo" two words.

This goldsmith has only given jewelry to the show girl, and his skills are exquisite, but he is not well-informed, and he took the longevity lock pattern handed to him by Liu Qingxin, and on the spot, he couldn't help but be amazed, "Madame is really talented!" Such a beautiful pattern, Jin has lived for forty years, and he has never seen it! Madame rest assured, not for anything else, just for this wonderful pattern, Jin will do his best, and will make it a peerless existence that has never been seen before or after him! ”

Contrary to the lack of knowledge of the goldsmith, the silversmith surnamed Gu is an ancestor who worked in the royal workshop...... At a glance, when he saw the strange symbol in the middle of the pattern drawn by Liu Qingxin, his eyes were fixed, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.

This pattern is not something that anyone dares to use, to be exact, people who can know or know this pattern, to say less, must also be an official at the state level!

As for the use of ......

The silversmith surnamed Gu swallowed lightly, looked up cautiously, and looked at Liu Qingxin, who was standing five steps away from them.

The face is like a peach blossom.

Phoenix-eyed willow eyebrows.

Just standing there so unadorned gives people a sense of confidence and pride that can only be looked up to.

This woman is not an ordinary person.

Plus this pattern......

To worship, or not to worship?

What should I call her?

Or does she really want to be recognized?

More things are better than less things, don't ask what shouldn't be asked, don't understand what shouldn't understand, now their family is just a small household that is no different from the ordinary people, if you provoke people who shouldn't be provoked, I'm afraid ...... The catastrophe is near!

Thinking of this, the silversmith surnamed Gu chose to shut up, but his mouth could be closed, and his trembling legs couldn't be pressed.

"Sister-in-law Jiang, go and bring a few more pieces of charcoal, put them in the brazier, and see if Master Gu is frozen."

Liu Qingxin didn't know what this strange symbol that Ling Jun painted for him meant, so there was no way to know the real reason why the silversmith surnamed Gu had trembling legs, in her mind, this must have been the three of them rushing from the west of the city in a hurry, and they didn't have time to add clothes, so that the silversmith surnamed Gu froze like this, "This year's winter is extremely cold, it's really cold, this Jiangnan doesn't look like Jiangnan." ”

Liu Qingxin said this casually, not distractedly, and what he wanted to sigh was only the fickle weather, not anything else.

But the speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, this casual sentence, the silversmith surnamed Gu who has something in his heart hears it, it just has a deep meaning.

It's cold.

Gangnam is not like Gangnam.

That's like ...... Where?

Isn't this a clear warning to yourself, don't talk nonsense, this is a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, not the imperial capital in the north!

"Madame really likes to joke, Jiangnan will always be Jiangnan, no matter how cold it is, it can't become the north."

The silversmith surnamed Gu thought about it for a while, and then followed Liu Qingxin's statement and expressed his attitude to him, this matter will stop with him, and it will never be passed on to others, and it is impossible to know about it in the northern imperial capital, so that she can definitely rest assured, "When the spring flowers bloom, Madame will naturally see migratory birds flying north." ”

"Also, no matter how beautiful Jiangnan is, it can't keep the footsteps of migratory birds after all."

The silversmith surnamed Gu said East, and Liu Qingxin, an uninformed person, said West, what the two said was not the same thing at all, but they could be combined without any obstacles, without making people feel strange, "Alas, look at me, this is talking, just drifting away from the topic, Master Gu, my little treasure longevity lock is finished, now, let's talk about making silver needles......"

"Madame just orders, Gu will do his best to make Madame satisfied."

Hearing that Liu Qingxin changed the topic, the silver sauce surnamed Gu also breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking, it can be regarded as no longer referring to him, if he is given another ten sentences or eight sentences, he should be so frightened that he won't even beat his heart, "The set of silver needles that Mrs. wants to make, do you want to design it yourself, or do you want to use the style passed down from previous dynasties?" ”

"It's just something that is usually used, and it's not to be put on display, but to do so many complicated patterns!"

Liu Qingxin is a more practical person, and she has no interest in those silver needles that are good-looking, but they are troublesome to clean up, she said, while picking up the brush whose ink has not yet dried, and drew a simple appearance on a new piece of paper, "Na, just like this, the end of the hand is twisted together with two silver wires to prevent the hand from slipping, and the end of the needle tip is the same as an ordinary acupuncture silver needle...... Oh, by the way, I want a set of sixty-four needles, two more triangular needles, and a box for needles, and silver. ”

"Do as Madame commands."

The silversmith surnamed Gu has made countless sets of silver needles, but this is the first time he has encountered such a simple request as Liu Qingxin.

But...... After thinking about her "identity" for a while, the silversmith surnamed Gu was embarrassed again!

If you really just want a set of ordinary silver needles, you can just go to the market and buy them, where can you spend a lot of money and ask him, a craftsman, to do it?

This is clearly to test his ability! (To be continued)
