"How is it?" The old man had good skills, and it didn't take long for him to make a wooden cylinder according to Ning Ze's request, and after several modifications, it was just embedded in the two lenses.

Ning Ze took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and nodded again and again: "Uncle, you are really good in this hand!"

"After a lifetime, practice makes perfect. The old man was quite complacent.

"You have this craft, stay here and bury it. Ning Ze felt that the old man's blacksmith and carpenter work was much better than those craftsmen in the secret research institute, "If you have the opportunity to show your strengths, would you like to leave here?"

"At my age, I don't want to run around!" the old man shook his head, "When I was young, I often walked for a few days to go to the surrounding counties, and now the old customers come on horseback to order farm tools, and by the way, help me bring some rice and noodles, otherwise I won't be able to live." ”

"And what if there is a chance to go to other places to enjoy the blessings, the carriage pick-up?"

"The earth is buried up to the neck, what blessing do you enjoy?" the old man shook his head slightly, "what is the use of this thing of yours?"

"This is a good thing!" Ning Ze stood at the door, put the rudimentary monoculars in front of his eyes, and looked in the direction of the kitchen.

Because the mirror surface still has impurities and various traces, it is not processed to be very smooth, and the clarity is affected. However, I can still see the magnified scenery, and Hua Erniang, who is sitting in the kitchen and burning the fire, seems to be close at hand.

"Do you want to try it?" confirming that the telescope was useful, Ning Ze turned to the old man, "Through this small hole, you can see far away. ”

"Really?" the old man was skeptical, took the binoculars and looked out of the house, and the road surface in the distance was clearly visible in the heavy rain, as if it were right in front of him. Frightened by this sight, the old man exclaimed "witchcraft" and almost threw away the telescope.

Ning Ze finally made it clear to him that it was not witchcraft, the old man seemed to be a three-year-old child who had a new toy and couldn't put down the telescope.

I stayed at the old man's house for another night, and the next morning it finally cleared up.

"Uncle, I've bothered you for the past two days!" After packing up, Ning Ze took Hua Erniang to say goodbye to the old man, "We have to continue to hurry, so don't leave it at that." ”

"Be careful on the road and stay safe!" got along for two days and got to know each other a lot.

"Thank you for your kindness, I will definitely repay you!" Ning Ze arched his hand.

"Don't mention whether you will repay or not, just pass by here and sit in the house in the future, and just chat with me for a few words. The old man said, "Hurry up and get on your way!"

"When I'm done with this, I promise to come and see you!" Ning Ze waved goodbye.

Leaving the old man's house, he got into the carriage with Hua Erniang and moved forward at full speed along the road.

After walking for a day and a night, the carriage arrived at the nearest Dingyuan County.

People were sleepy and tired, so I booked a room in an inn in the county and rested for a while.

Early the next morning, before leaving the store, I asked Xiao Er: "I heard that there is a person surnamed Qiu in the county, and his jewelry craftsmanship is first-class." We want to make custom jewelry, where can we find him?"

Xiao Er immediately replied: "Qiu Baozhi, right? He lives near the Nancheng vegetable market. Passing the stone bridge of the vegetable market, there is a jewelry store next to him. ”

"Thank you!" After receiving reliable information, Ning Ze immediately set off and went directly to Nancheng.

When I arrived at the vegetable market Shiqiao, I saw a jewelry store.

The carriage stopped near the door of the store and took Hua Erniang into the store.

"Yo, what do you two dignitaries buy?" a middle-aged man with a black mole on the left side of his face and a long hair on the mole immediately greeted him, smiling professionally, "My small shop is famous far and wide, and it has a complete range of types." The price is fair, and the child is not deceived! This lady is too simple, come to me to buy some beautiful jewelry to decorate, and immediately become a fairy to earth. ”

"You can really say that. Ning Ze looked around the store, and sure enough, there were a lot of gold, silver, copper, iron, gemstones, pearls, and jade.

"This son, you're not a local, are you?"

"Danyang's. ”

"Oh~ Danyang is good!" The middle-aged man touched the long hair on the mole, "It seems that someone introduced it, so you made a special trip?"

"That's right!" Ning Ze nodded, "Your Excellency is Mr. Qiu?"

"I don't dare to be a gentleman," the middle-aged man replied, "I'm just a businessman, and I can afford to call Qiu the shopkeeper, and I can't afford to call me Qiu Laosi." ”

"Shopkeeper Qiu, I heard that you have a good jewelry technique?" Ning Ze got straight to the point.

"Eat with a mouthful!"

"You made all this jewelry yourself?"

"Most of them were made by themselves, and there were some apprentices. ”

"I think these pieces of jewelry are exquisite, and your craftsmanship must be superb. Ning Ze took out the monocular and pulled out the lens, "I wonder if you can polish the lens for me, so that the surface of it can be eliminated from impurities and become clear and smooth enough." ”

"This is simple," the middle-aged man took the lens, "but where is this thing? Differs from the material I know. ”

"This thing is refined by my own hands, if Shopkeeper Qiu is interested, I will find an opportunity to discuss it in detail in the future. Ning Ze replied, "My wife and I are just passing by here, stopping by to have a look, there are still serious things to do, and the time is limited." Can you ask Shopkeeper Qiu to finish polishing this thing first?"

"The cost ......"

"The cost is negotiable, the main thing is to see your craftsmanship!"

"Okay! This is actually very simple," the middle-aged man called a young man and asked him to help look at the storefront, and then took Ning Ze and Hua Erniang into the back room, "Just polish the surface?"

"Yes, it has to be smooth enough, transparent enough!"

"Look!" The middle-aged man took the tools and polished them in a very skillful posture in front of Ning Ze, and it took only three minutes to divide five by two.

He handed the two lenses to Ning Ze, and the surface impurities and lines really disappeared, fully meeting Ning Ze's requirements.

"Awesome!" After checking back and forth several times, Ning Ze couldn't help but sigh, "It's really amazing!"

"Ten copper coins, no problem, right?" Seeing that he was satisfied, the middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"Just a few moments, it will cost ten copper coins?" Hua Erniang exclaimed.

"You can't find a second person with these moments outside!" the middle-aged man laughed, "I'm very cheap!"

"Indeed, not to mention ten copper coins for this craft, it is worth ten times more!" Ning Ze was quite satisfied with the processed lenses, "In this way, I want to choose a suitable piece of jewelry for my wife, counting the processing fee, this is five taels of silver, please ask Shopkeeper Qiu to recommend one or two!"

"Okay!" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the silver, "Make sure that Mrs. Zun is satisfied!"

When the three of them returned to the store, he selected a delicate and beautiful pearl necklace from many pieces of jewelry and handed it to Ning Ze: "This necklace was originally sold for six taels of silver, but today I will make a friend with you, counting the processing fee just now, it is exactly five taels!

This pearl necklace is really beautiful, and Hua Erniang likes it in her heart.

Ning Ze took the necklace and turned to approach Hua Erniang: "Put it on and try it!"

"This ...... It's not appropriate, right?" Hua Erniang whispered in his ear.

"What's out of the ordinary? Ning Ze smiled and said, "I'll help you put it on." ”

"Lord, this ......" Seeing that he leaned over completely, he wrapped his hands around himself while wearing the necklace, and his whole face was close at hand, Hua Erniang's face was hot, a little overwhelmed, and her voice was like a mosquito.

"Shh~" Ning Ze whispered in her ear, "Don't reveal your identity, now we are husband and wife." ”

As he spoke, he carefully buttoned the pearl necklace, took a step back to examine it carefully, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Mrs. Zun wears this necklace, and it is indeed a heavenly maiden!" said the middle-aged man proudly, "What is my vision?"

"It's a professional!" Ning Ze turned his head to look at him.

"That's! I still have a lot of accessories for my son, do you want to take a look?"

"No need! this time I'm stopping by to take a look, and time is tight. Ning Ze waved his hand, "There is still an important matter to be dealt with, and we must hurry up." When I get back, I'll talk to the shopkeeper about something. ”

"Want me to talk about something?" The middle-aged man glanced at the flatbed carriage parked at the door, "Oh~ You two also want to do some jewelry business? No problem, my jewelry is polished by myself, and most of the jewelry merchants in the surrounding counties and towns buy here, and the two of you are welcome to come over at any time to cooperate in business." ”

"Okay, let's talk to the shopkeeper in detail. Ning Zezuo said goodbye.

"Two of you go slowly!" The middle-aged man sent Ning Ze and Hua Erniang to the door, and the courtesy was thoughtful.

Ning Ze took a fancy to Qiu Baozhi's craftsmanship, he could process such fine jewelry, and he might be able to solve the problem of matching parts. Some precision parts are actually similar to jewelry, and they must have sufficient processing technology to reach the qualified line.

Nowadays, a lot of research is stuck on parts, and only by solving this problem can we continue to push forward.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to deal with counterfeit goods, and Qiu Baozhi cannot be brought with him.

After the counterfeit goods were found out and the whole thing was over, he turned around and took Qiu Baozhi and Sun Er away.

Leaving the county seat, Ning Ze thought about Qiu Baozhi and Sun Er, and then the impostor.

When we arrive at the destination, how to deal with this matter is the most appropriate.

Hua Erniang sat in the back, staring at Ning Ze all the time, while pinching the pearl necklace around her neck, always remembering the scene in the store.

Although they play husband and wife along the way, they sometimes live in the same room, but they never keep their distance.

An action like that just now, maybe Ning Ze didn't think too much, but it was too intimate and too exciting for Hua Erniang.

She was blank in terms of the relationship between men and women, and no man had ever made such intimate movements to herself, and when she suddenly encountered this situation, her head seemed to be overloaded, and she almost went into a state of death.

I didn't think too much about it before, I just did my duty as a guard, and I stayed by Ning Ze's side as a husband and wife, and I never thought about it.

As a result, his mind is now in a mess, and he even thought several times that if he was resting at night, the prince suddenly asked him to sleep......

Basically, Hua Erniang felt that she was accepted by Ning Ze as a female guard, and the possibility of encountering this situation was very high. I hadn't thought about it before, but now I suddenly remembered it, and my face was even hotter.

Then he tilted his head and thought, during this time, he often shared a room with the prince and slept in the same room, is it considered a bed?

In fact, she didn't know the true meaning of the waiter's bed, so she didn't have any idea whether to sleep in the same bed or sleep in the same room called the waiter's bed.
