Chapter 43: Respect
Gu Hong saw the hilt of his knife, and he was moved. Now, the handle of the knife has begun to take shape, just like the drawings he saw, but this handle is more beautiful, except for the twist pattern, it seems to have a more special effect.
"......" He just wanted to call someone, but Guo Peng covered his mouth.
Guo Peng pulled him outside before whispering, "He doesn't like to be noisy next to him when he is working." ”
"So you're watching?" Gu Hong sighed, he now thinks that the little prince is good, think about it, these days, this little prince has always been very easy-going, but can you not be so sincere? How can you mix with those second ancestors in the capital like this?
"No, I did help him water the ground first. Do you know? Every day, he picks up the waste water from the whole village to water the land, so it's no wonder that we see that their land is better than the whole county's land. Guo Peng said busily.
Gu Hong really thinks that the little prince is a good person now, he is very helpful, and he actually helps this guy to water the ground himself? He wants to yell again, you are a little prince, not a little bastard, even a little bastard will not help people water the ground casually.
"Why don't you let the guards pour it? What about the people around you? "Gu Hong is in charge of a team of people, he has something to do when he goes back to the county, but the people around Guo Peng are there, how can he let Guo Peng carry water?
"Brother Kun won't let me." Guo Peng said it as a matter of course, he wants to help him, why drag others? The last time she asked the guards to help plow the ground, she already felt very embarrassed, this was her job, she shouldn't bother others. He was quite happy because Xin Kun didn't treat him as an outsider.
Gu Hong wanted to cry, when did the little prince get so good with this young man who kept hacking his money? Not only hacked his money, but also supported him to work!
"So you helped him water the ground, and he's here to help you with the knife?"
"That's your knife, and you're going to use that knife to protect Daddy." Guo Peng gave him a roll of the eye.
"Thanks, but do you see clearly? How he did it! Gu Hong also decided not to want to, and said something useful, he didn't turn on the stove for an afternoon after looking at this knife, how could he hide in it alone at night to fight, "He actually doesn't want you to see it, right?" He wants to keep it a secret? ”
"What do you mean?" Guo Peng didn't quite understand Gu Hong's thoughts.
"He fought in the middle of the night, didn't he want people to see how she retained the texture of that twist and made the handle of the right thickness?"
Gu Hong can be a guard, and his observation power is beyond doubt, and he can see that the length of the knife handle is different from what he reserved. So he calculated, how thick he would be, and then he typed the shape.
If he couldn't see the reason, other professional blacksmiths should be able to see it, so this must be the reason why she only struck iron in the middle of the night.
"I don't know!" Guo Peng thought about it seriously for a while, and felt that he was serious about it, but, well, he didn't know how she did it, he just knocked like that, and then that's it. Isn't it all like that when you strike iron? It's just that he thinks Xin Kun is better looking.
Gu Hong sighed, he wanted to beat this little bastard again.
"How is it outside?" When Xin Kun came out, she saw the two of them standing outside, she had just finished playing the handle, and the effect was what she wanted, just when she was tired, she felt that she could simply rush and sleep.
"Are you going to fight tomorrow? Well, I noticed, you had those two pieces of black iron broken into one piece, and quenched. Gu Hong hurriedly stepped forward.
"No, it's put in the knife to make the core, so you don't have to worry about your knife not being hard enough. But tomorrow I shouldn't be able to put it in, I need to get the pattern right. The core is the last to be placed! Xin Kun glanced at him and yawned. She feels much better now, and sure enough, she still has the old habit of sweating before going to bed.
"I've never worried about this, you'll definitely be able to hit a knife worth exactly four thousand taels." Gu Hong bowed to her very reservedly.
Xin Kun looked at Gu Hong, what does this mean, and he is still complaining, he is too expensive? Looking back at Guo Peng, now Guo Peng is a little more pleasing to the eye, "So you don't blame you for being crooked, there is no good role model around you." ”
Xin Kun didn't need them to reply, and went home.
"How much is the most expensive knife out there right now?" Guo Peng glanced at Gu Hong. He didn't think that four thousand taels was expensive, and he could see Xin Kun's heart. What's more, he helped him water the ground at night, and for someone who was already someone else's land and was so attentive, he absolutely believed that the weapons he used so much heart would not be expensive.
"It seems to be the Warring States bronze sword given to the emperor last time." Gu Hongdang didn't understand Guo Peng's sarcasm.
The Warring States bronze sword sent to the emperor last time was an "auspicious rui" sent by a magistrate! I heard that the official spent 5,000 taels, and he bought it by force.
The emperor deliberately made a "sword conference", the meaning is very clear, the sword is auspicious, itself is the meaning of establishing the country with force. Now a good weapon is really an inch of good blade and an inch of gold. Even if Xin Kun's big sword was made of scrap steel, he also knew that it would definitely be much stronger than the little prince's heavy sword.
However, he just didn't want the little prince to be too accustomed to Xin Kun, a small craftsman from a craftsman's family, no matter how talented he was, he was just a small craftsman. They gave money and promised a future, and this one should be grateful to Dade, not so ignorant of the sky.
Guo Peng's mouth tightened, he now knows why he likes to be with Xin Kun, Xin Kun may be a little arrogant, but in his opinion, it is the normal temper of a capable person, which he can bear. And his occasional words or two sincere words can make him feel loved. It's not because he is a little prince, even if he was already a superior when they first met, he would always have a sense of equal comfort for him.
He respects himself, yes, sometimes respect is not manifested in prostration. He was a petty soldier in the army for two years, and it wasn't like he hadn't really learned anything.
Just like now, he knew very well that Gu Hong didn't really respect himself, and neither did his cousin. In fact, no one really respected him. There is only Xin Kun, and Xin Kun actually respects everyone. Including the people he looked down on, the guards who helped him with the work, the master craftsmen and small workers in his workshop. He treated them all with equal respect.
"Little Prince!" Gu Hong saw that he didn't speak, and he hesitated a little, could it be that he really made this little ancestor angry?
"It's okay, you've worked hard too, rest early." Guo Peng didn't smile, said lightly, and left with his back hand.
Gu Hong frowned, the little prince didn't seem to have spoken to him like this. Polite and stylish, but why does it seem so detached?
I took two steps to catch up, but I slowed down again. What can you say if you catch up? Say that the Xin family doesn't collect much money, or is it right to help the Xin family water the ground, little prince?
