Chapter 57
Xu is Liu Qingxin's drawings are too complicated, or the silversmith surnamed Jin has never encountered such a creative idea that makes him feel excited, Xiaobao's longevity lock, so far, it has been a small month, and I haven't heard the goldsmith send a letter to say, when can it be delivered.
Seeing that there is less than a month left, it should be Xiaobao's "100 years old" day, Liu Qing is anxious in his heart, every two or three days, he will make his mother-in-law urge him, plus the day before yesterday, it is ten times.
"Let's go to the horse market first, see if there is a good horse that can get into your eyes, and when we come back, we will go to the Jinjia Silver Shop to see if Xiaobao's lock is ready."
After deciding to ask the driver Lao Wang about the identity of Ling Jun, Liu Qingxin diverted the topic, not to dwell on this nonsense and there will be no answer, and talked to him about the long-life lock that Xiaobao had been beaten for nearly a month, and no one had looked at it, "I don't know what the silversmith thinks, the handmade money has never been missing him, the way I painted, he also said that he likes it, he must build it himself, do his best, but this is all ...... After a while, I met him, you have to help me talk about him, if I delay Xiaobao's '100 years old', but how unlucky! ”
"In this kind of town, it's really difficult to find a good horse that can get into my eyes, I thought, just find a horse that can travel thousands of miles a day, and ride to the imperial capital, and you will have it."
Hearing Liu Qingxin say that Xiaobao's longevity lock, the silversmith has been working on it for so long, and before it is completed, Ling Jun twisted his brows a little nervously, "The silversmith ...... Is it someone from this town, or did you move from the side? When you are a person to urge, how did he reply? ”
"I heard Sister-in-law Jiang say that he is indeed carving the lock by himself, and the bright flowers and dark patterns are also exquisite. Every time I go back, I can see the progress, that's the speed. It's a real headache! ”
At first, Liu Qingxin was also worried. Could it be the symbol that Ling Jun drew to himself, what is the great meaning, was seen by the silversmith, and told others, deliberately delaying time.
Later, she looked for an opportunity to change two other mothers-in-law in a row to check on the situation in the silversmith's shop, and when the other two mothers-in-law returned. is also to praise her, how beautiful the lock is, when it is made, it is definitely worthy of being an heirloom, wait a little longer, and never be wronged!
This, she had to believe, the silversmith was just doing ink, wanting to improve, not having other plans.
"Away from Xiaobao's '100 years old'. There is still a month to go, and the silversmith is in a hurry to catch up with the ink. Don't worry about it. ”
didn't see anything, Ling Jun didn't dare to make a decision to say how the silversmith's craftsmanship was, or whether he had any other intentions, "Wait a while, let's finish buying the horse, go and see it for yourself, won't we?" Those mothers-in-law have seen a little bit of the world, but everything is made of gold and silver. Which one of them doesn't think it's beautiful, and they can't describe it? ”
To know. If you say that you are a good craftsman, you will be more careful about what you do. I thought a few years ago...... His father specially asked the best craftsman in the Ming Dynasty to make a sword for him, and the craftsman didn't take a whole year of work to complete it...... If the craftsman surnamed Jin is really a master who strives for perfection, don't say that it is only a month, even if it takes three or five months, it is also very ordinary!
"It's also from person to person, and if you open your mouth, what others see is always not as good as what you see with your own eyes."
Listening to Ling Jun promised himself, after a while after watching the horses came back, he went to the shop of the silversmith surnamed Jin, and looked at Xiaobao's silver lock, Liu Qingxin couldn't help but rejoice, Xiaobao was the child born to her and Bi Chengen, he ...... Not only does he not dislike that he is a married person, but also treats Xiaobao, a child who has no blood relationship with him at all, as his own, this is in the future, I am afraid that there are few people who can do it, "I hit it with Xiaobao's longevity lock, and there is also a set of my silver needles, which is made by a silversmith surnamed Gu, when it is calculated, it should be almost good, let's go and get it by the way." ”
"Okay, when we finish buying horses, we can go wherever you want, and we will buy whatever we want."
In Lingjun's mind, as long as he can accompany Liu Qingxin, it doesn't matter what he does, watching her rejoice and watching her smile, he will feel warm and satisfied, "I don't know if there is a night market or anything in this town, if there is, we can go shopping...... Forget it, it's too cold this day, it's not worth it to freeze you, or wait for the next year to be warm, let's go shopping together, by that time, Xiaobao should also be able to babble people, bring him out together, it's lively enough! ”
Whether there is a night market in the town, Liu Qingxin has never asked anyone, first, she is not a lively person, and second, in the past, no one can accompany her to walk.
But now......
Liu Qingxin planned to go home after buying things later, so he called Sister-in-law Jiang to ask if there was a night market in this town, and if not, where would there be the nearest city.
The carriage went all the way to the west, and after passing the human market, it arrived at the horse market.
Because of the cold weather, and after noon, the merchants in the horse market were left with a few scattered places, and even the few remaining scattered places were also packing up their things and preparing to leave.
Seeing that a carriage was coming, the merchants who were originally packing up their things stopped what they were doing, turned their heads, and looked at the carriage that was very likely to make them a single business.
When Liu Qingxin and Ling Jun walked out of the carriage, the horse merchants who had stopped their eyes on the curtain of the carriage were all stunned, and instinctively, they secretly admired their pair of golden boys and girls.
Looking at the dress of the two, the horse merchants can guess that they are either rich and expensive, and people like them, running to the horse market, ten out of ten, there are only two possibilities, either which young master and young lady are coming to see the rarity, or they want to choose a good horse by themselves and use it as a hunting car...... Looking at the intimacy of the two, it obviously doesn't look like brother and sister, and I want to ...... Nine out of nine are for the latter......
"Who has a good horse that can travel thousands of miles a day, bother to pull it out and take a look, the quality is not comparable, and the foot is good!"
Ling Jun looked around at the horse merchants, suddenly shouted such a sentence, and then, without waiting for the coachman Lao Wang to put down the footstool, he jumped off the rafters, stretched out his hand to hug Liu Qingxin, and took her off the rafters, "Come, I will teach you to recognize horses, you have learned, and you will teach Xiaobao in the future." ”
For animals, Liu Qingxin still likes a lot, but it's a pity that he was busy researching medicine before and never had time to raise them...... She plans to raise a cat or dog at home when Xiaobao grows up a little more, accompany him to grow up and play with him.
It's just that she hasn't had time to discuss this matter with Ling Jun yet.
Listening to Ling Jun say, just want a horse with good feet, regardless of appearance, the horse merchants immediately rejoiced, those of them who do horse business, which hand, there are few good horses that can get their hands on? It's just a pity that most of those who can afford to buy these good horses are young masters and young masters from rich families with embroidered pillows and a bag of grass.
Soon, the horse dealers took out the horses with the best footsteps in their respective families and drove them to stand in a row, so that Ling Jun, the buyer, could have a comparison.
There are more than 20 horses, all of which are good horses, although the appearance of the quality is a little different, but at least half of them are enough to be a military horse, this situation, Ling Jun can't help but be a little surprised, but after the accident, it is impossible to hide the joy.
This time, his trip to the imperial capital will definitely be easy!
"These horses are all raised by your own family?"
Ling Jun looked at the horses one by one, and the nose of each horse that he liked was patted gently, as if it was extremely casual, and talked to the horse dealers, "What price?" ”
"Twenty-five taels."
"Twenty-two taels."
"Twenty taels."
"Nineteen taels."
Listening to Ling Jun's inquiry about the price, he didn't ask which one alone, and the horse dealers were busy and quoted with him one after another...... This is a single business before the market closes, and any horse dealer also wants to win a fortune and be auspicious!
Walking past all the horses without saying a word, Ling Jun stopped unhurriedly, turned around, smiled at Liu Qingxin, and then looked at the horse dealers, "Just now, the horse I patted on the nose helped me pull it out, I want it." ”
More than 20 taels of silver, in this town, but it is a large amount, Ling Jun did not bargain at all, and asked for more than a dozen horses at once, that is, worth two or three hundred taels of silver.
Two or three hundred taels of silver, in the eyes of ordinary people, may be busy for several years, and they may not be able to have savings, but in Liu Qingxin's opinion, it is the courtyard where she lives now, a month's expenses, or a few clothes and money, it is nothing at all.
"Do you want these dozen horses?"
Liu Qingxin didn't feel sorry for the silver, what made her feel a headache was that there were no big enough stables in their current yard to fit so many horses, "Then we have to wait for the craftsman to go back and build two stables in a hurry...... We already have two horses, and we can fit five or six horses into the existing stables at most......"
ps: No. 6 still owes a chapter, No. 7 supplies relatives, went out, delayed, really can't catch up......
