The next day, they went to the Xin family's house in the city, in an ordinary residential area in Xicheng, a three-entry house, and not far from the house, there was a blacksmith workshop, and the big craftsmen and small craftsmen lived in the back of the house.

"It's really all set." Guo Peng read them all one by one.

"yes, it's about to start." Xin Kun also looked at it.

The start of the workshop is not casual. For example, in a blacksmith shop, there is also a ritual for opening the furnace. Uncle Li has already invited someone, and he has already set up a feng shui array, and the opening day is also selected, and on the day of the furnace, there will be Taoist priests to open the altar.

She really didn't believe it, they also have such a ritual in modern clubs, in order to fight things and make defective products.

"Want to help?"

"How can you help?" The old man didn't want to be polite, and came over and said coldly.

"Yes!" Guo Peng was helpless, thinking about it, he really didn't seem to be able to help, "Otherwise, I'll invite you to dinner!" When I came to the capital, I was the east. ”

"You're welcome, I attach great importance to filial piety. Except for places where there is fire, it is better to go to other places less. Xin Kun smiled.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Guo Peng hurriedly stopped.

"Let's be honest!" Xin Kun smiled, "Go back quickly, isn't there still something in the camp waiting for you?" ”

"I'm fine, your problem is bigger." Guo Peng waved his hand.

"I don't have any problems, it's all arranged, so you don't have to think too much."

Guo Peng looked at her face and still felt a little embarrassed. I touched my head and left.

"Young Master?" The master craftsman looked at Xin Kun with some concern.

Xin Kun didn't speak, just looked at the workshop and looked at the layout around him, "How is it, do you like it here?" The way it is placed is different from the previous one. ”

"There's nothing unaccustomed, it's just where the stove is, where we are!" It doesn't matter if you're a master.

"It's better to get used to it first, it's good to be handy, these days, you are here, first put the things you want to be familiar with, and when the furnace is opened, you will have to be busy."

"Shall we go and see the shop first?" The old man was busy.

"No, let's go check out the market." Xin Kun shook his head.

"Looking at the market?"

"Go buy a few books and see what the blacksmith shops on the street sell." Xin Kun was much more excited than just now.

"It's okay, I'll take you around." The old man smiled.

Xin Kun smiled and went out with the old man, and the master looked at their backs and stabbed Lao Li on the side, "After the young master entered Beijing, he was not very happy." ”

"You won't be happy when you take the exam next February. Go back and find a gentleman to make up for the young master. Lao Li felt that he knew, and he was busy making up his mind.

"What kind of test does a good young master take, how much delay to make money! I still want to make money and take my mother to the capital! The master craftsman frowned.

"The young master has become an official, and you don't have to pay taxes for any money you make. Back you get more! Lao Li gave him a roll of his eyes.

"It seems to be the same reason, so you hurry up and find a better gentleman, right?" The master nodded hurriedly, as if it was not him who had just spoken.

The west market of the capital is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, and of course, the goods also have their own characteristics. There are a lot of merchants living in the Western Regions, so there are a lot of things to play in the Western Regions.

Xin Kun's mood was immediately better, these are all unremarkable works of art for her. Xin Ye saw that Xin Kun was in a good mood, and he was also happy.

"Like it? If you like it, you can buy it! "Xin Ye has already saved a lot of money, even if Xin Kun doesn't make money, he can still satisfy his granddaughter's little preference.

"Okay!" Xin Kun smiled, she took a knife from the Western Regions in her hand, and Xin Ye was busy giving money. Xin Kun picked it up and looked at it carefully.

"Like it so much?" The old man glanced at his granddaughter and looked at his granddaughter, she can also fight with this kind of dagger, why do you have to buy one.

"I didn't have the charm of this fight." Xin Kun knew what he meant, smiled, and gave the dagger to the old man.

The old man took it and took a closer look. nodded, "Old thing, I'm afraid they won't be able to fight it themselves." ”

"Didn't you say I missed it?" Xin Kun was stunned, she really just felt that it was similar to a national treasure she had seen, so she picked it out, what does this mean old man?"

"yes, you're really lucky. This is a gadget, I guess it was smashed in my hand, and you picked it out. Didn't you see the person who was so happy when he saw me paying? The old man smiled and shook his head, and gave it to Xin Kun.

Xin Kun only looked at the scabbard just now, the scabbard was very ordinary, but the engraving on the handle was very special. Pulling the scabbard open, the light of the sword is dim, but this is caused by oxidation. Look at the knife lines on that knife. nodded, "They're gone, it's forged by the ancient method." ”

"Yes, things aren't very useful right now. However, this look is okay. The old man glanced at it, not careless.

"Well, the craftsmanship at that time was not good, so this can only be regarded as an iron knife. Now it's oxidized, so it can only be placed as an antique. Xin Kun nodded and smiled at him with a smile.

"It's good to look at the shape." Xin Ye doesn't care, "In ancient times, this kind of modeling was just the best work that could not be done because of technology, you see, the arc and length of the scimitar are the best way to keep the blade from being interrupted." ”

"Grandpa, have you passed on all your skills to your father?" Xin Kun's heart moved.

"He doesn't like to learn, but I teach everything that should be taught." The old man's face sank.

"But he's still right?" Xin Kun thought for a moment and looked at his grandfather.

"Yes, the craftsmanship is average, but it still will." The old man sighed, "Your talent is good, it seems that he taught you very well." ”

"I didn't learn it all." Xin Kun smiled.

"It's okay, the key thing is that you've learned." The old man waved his hand, except for some decorative ones, there is also a legacy that has not been taught. But these things, the old man felt that it was of little use to his granddaughter, and he completely learned the method of forging. Others, he thinks it's a trivial matter, just teach slowly, "Don't you still have to buy books?" There's a bookstore over there. ”

Xin Kun nodded, she had long wanted to do this matter of buying books, but in the county town, she didn't dare to do things privately, she was afraid that she would have eyes behind her back.

She followed the old man out and went to the market, but the target was still the bookstore, and she was determined to know everything about this dynasty. Since she has decided to stay and take a good test, she should do her best, and she knows where the thunder is, and she can avoid it.

The bookstore was small, similar to the used bookstore on the backstreet of her university, with only a small aisle and an unknown number of books piled up on both sides.

She likes this feeling, she thinks this is what a bookstore should look like, find a random place to sit down, and then slowly smoke the book, find what she likes, let it go, and wait for a piece to be paid after picking a piece, of course, the day is just like that.
