Chapter 55: Colored Bracelets

This dagger is both the emotional sustenance of the old father and his other son......

Ding Zhao said bitterly, "Dad, you said you want to keep it as a family heirloom......"

Ding Zhuang said, "People can't keep it, and they still keep it." This dagger should be able to sell for a few hundred taels of silver. Don't say that I beat it, just say that it was handed down by our ancestors. ”

At that time, it was strictly forbidden for private iron shops to fight weapons privately, and they were reported to be imprisoned or even killed.

Ding Zhao hesitated, "We don't know rich people, if the person we are looking for is greedy, they want a dagger but don't want to pay more, and the bid is too low." If we don't sell it, he will sue us for private weapons. Even if the dagger is really handed down from our ancestors, but because we are blacksmiths, if they want to say that, we have no problem. If you don't get the money, you may be imprisoned. ”

Ding Zhuang said, "The year before last, Zhang Dahu in the county town asked me to make a good sword, and I didn't dare to accept it for two hundred taels of silver. He wanted to send Qian Dahu, the second master of the Dragon Dart Bureau, saying that Qian Erjia had a penchant for collecting good weapons. also said that although he has a disability, he is the most righteous and heroic.

"After you go to the Tang family tomorrow, you will go to the Dragon Dart Bureau. Just look for money and two masters, see if he is willing to buy it. As long as he gives him three hundred taels of silver, he will sell it. Low, alas, or take it back and find another buyer. ”

Ding Zhao nodded. The Dragon Dart Bureau is the only dart bureau in Linshui County, and he has also heard that Qian Dahu was disabled in one hand and was elected as the second leader, which is said to be very bold and righteous.

No matter what kind of person Qian Er is, he has to give it a try.

Lilac has a bottom in her heart. If the dagger can be sold for three hundred taels of silver, there is not much money left, so she will continue to borrow it at three cents, and she will find a way to pay it off when she has enough time in the future.

Ding Zhuang said, "We can only raise so much money at present, and the rest can only continue to borrow and find a way to pay it back." Okay, go back and rest, the sky won't come down. ”

Lilac hung on Ding Zhuang's body and couldn't come down, "I'm scared, I want to sleep with my grandfather." ”

Ding Zhao also felt that it was time for Xiangxiang to accompany his father, and said, "Obediently, don't kick the quilt." ”

After washing, Lilac slept on Ding Zhuang's big kang as she wished.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao hid all the money and belongings in the big box, locked it with a lock, and then rested separately.

Lilac hugged one of Ding Zhuang's arms and thought about it, pretending to be asleep.

She knew that Ding Zhuang had almost stayed awake all night, and secretly wiped her tears.

She also knew that her grandfather's tears must have been shed for her.

Lilac also shed tears. Afraid that her grandfather would know, she deliberately muttered a few times, changed her posture and buried her little head on the mattress, so as not to let the tears flow on her grandfather.

It would be nice if Feifei came back, and try to get it back from the Lingzhi mushroom in front of its door......

In the second half of the night, Lilac couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

She was woken up by the sound of Ding Zhuang and Ding Shan talking.

Ding Shan and Ding Qin listened to Guo Ziliang talk about Ding Zhi and came to send money.

Ding Shan sent ten taels of silver and five pieces of money.

In this era, money was always equal to one tael of silver, and a total of fifteen taels of silver were taken out for the third room.

The life of the third room is not easy, Ding Qin has a chronic illness, Ding Da Niu is less than ten months, so much money should be half of the family's savings.

The point is, I don't know if the second room can still afford it.

The third grandfather is really a good person, you must remember his love.

Ding Zhuang wrote down the IOU and pressed his handprint, and repeated Ding Zhao's words, "Great grace is not grateful." Even if Zhaozi and I can't repay the borrowed money, Lichun and Liren will pay it back on their behalf. ”

asked Ding Qin to bring a message to Mr. Li, and Ding Liren stopped studying for some reason.

After Ding Shan's father and son left, Ding Zhuang took Ding Lichun and Ding Liren to borrow money from relatives and friends. The reason why I took these two children was to let them make a guarantee that they would continue to pay back if the elders could not afford to pay back the money.

Lilac put on her little clothes and ran outside.

Zhang thought that Lilac was still sleeping, and the others were gone, locked in the house and cried. While crying, he scolded Ding Zhi for being a harmful spirit and ruined this family. She and her head of the family are dead, what will happen to her three children......

Zhang has lasted so long, let her cry.

Lilac didn't bother her, and sat in the doorway with her knees crossed.

When her crying faded, Lilac tapped on the door and said, "Mother, I'm afraid." ”

Zhang quickly wiped away his tears, came out and hugged his daughter into his arms, "Xiangxiang is not afraid, my mother is here." ”

Zhang's hair was unkempt, his eyes were red and swollen, and he didn't have his usual neatness.

Lilac put her arms around her neck and said, "Mother, we have a grandfather, a father, and a brother, our family will not collapse, we will definitely survive, and life will be better." ”

Zhang didn't expect the little Lilac to say these words, and cried again.

After crying a few times, he stopped, took a few deep breaths and said, "Xiangxiang is right, we can get through it, we will get better." ”

She put the cloves on the kang and went to the kitchen to get a pancake and a bowl of cucumber soup.

After Lilac finished eating, she pulled Zhang's sleeve and said, "Mother, I have come up with a different kind of yarn, and if you sew those few small pearls together, you can sell them for more silver, which is worth more than selling pearls alone." ”

Zhang didn't believe that Lilac could come up with a different line, and she didn't have the heart to fight now.

"Xiangxiang go play by herself, you can't take care of the adult's business."

Lilac had to take out the improvised quill pen hidden in the cabinet and sharpen the ink. The quill pen was soaked in ink, and she drew a different style of string on a piece of paper, shaped like a three-dimensional bracelet, a little thicker than her little finger, and embellished with a few beads.

The ancients liked to bring bracelets and beads, rich people wore jade, gold, pearls, and agarwood, and those who did not have money would buy silver bracelets if they tightened their belts.

But the ancients rarely brought bracelets, and some had a simple style, just a few thin strings. Because it is simple and cheap, except for specific festivals, adults will wear colored ropes for a day, and they usually coax children to play.

In the previous life, Lilac learned several ways to play the bracelet, and the color was beautiful and three-dimensional. Then decorated with different small beads and small buttons, it has a unique style. If the bead buckle is pure gold or jade crystal, it can be sold for a high price.

This chic string clove also came up with a nice name - colored bracelet.

This is what Lilac thought of for his own weaving and embroidery pavilion, and now he has to take it out and sell it for money. What she took out was not only two bracelets, but also the idea of "colored bracelets".

Lilac said with the pattern, "Mother, Xiangxiang thought of it when you saw it, first use stone green and goose yellow thread to weave four tapes, and then use tape to weave like this." It's still too thin and soft, add a few strands of thread to it, and ...... around the thread."

Tapestry is one of the simplest ways to play. Three-dimensional and thicker hand ropes must be made of thicker threads, and the thickest five-strand threads of this era are thin, so they can only be beaten into thicker tapes with threads, and then woven with tapes, and threads must be added to them.

Zhang was really amazed by the bracelet on the paper, and praised, "It's so beautiful, the bracelet can still be braided like this." Can it really look so good when you make it up? ”
