Chapter Ninety-Nine: Face Goodness
Chapter 100 is not so famous
After dinner, Lilac ran to her house, ignored Feifei, who had been pecking at her little buttocks, and knelt on the big chair to draw the handle of the knife.
A few pieces of paper were wasted, and finally four satisfactory handles were drawn.
She took it to the upper room.
The room was dimly lit.
Ding Zhao and Ding Lichun were talking in the hall, and Zhang was doing needlework under the lamp.
Ding Xiang handed the paper to Ding Zhao, "Daddy, you give it to Grandpa tomorrow." ”
Ding Zhao glanced at it, wondered if he was dazzled, got up and walked to the oil lamp on the table to take a closer look.
Ding Lichun saw it and followed.
Ding Lichun was surprised, "The shape and pattern of these knife handles are different, and they are also powerful and beautiful, and even the gems are inlaid everywhere." ”
Ding Zhao sighed, "Not only do you paint well, but you also think well." Girl, how did you come up with these kinds of knife handles? ”
Lilac looked at her blankly, "I don't know how to come up with it, I thought about it and thought about it." ”
Zhang pursed his lips and smiled, "Xiangxiang is smart, she can come up with such a complex knot of wealth, and of course she can come up with such a simple handle." ”
Ding Zhao smiled and said, "A woman's opinion." This handle is not only easy to hold, but also beautiful and powerful, different, how can it be compared with the knot. ”
Ding Liren and Ding Lilai, who were studying in Westinghouse, heard it and ran out to see it.
Ding Liren's eyes were full of envy, "My sister is really good at drawing." ”
Ding Li looked at him like an idiot, "You just know, my sister has always drawn so well." ”
Ding Liren ignored him, and said, "This kind of knife handle is perfect with Grandpa's knife." ”
Ding Lilai pointed to the two handles and said, "These two are somewhat similar, they are both stars." ”
Ding Lichun said, "It's not like it at all. This is the star, and this is the ice flower. It turns out that the exploding ice flower will be so solemn and powerful, I like this hilt. ”
Several people watched it for a while, Zhang's likes Xingchen, Ding Zhao and Ding Liren like Pan, Ding Lilai likes Tiger Head, Ding Lichun likes Binghua, see which one Ding Zhuang chooses tomorrow.
Lilac also likes ice patterns, although it is not as domineering as the coil pattern and tiger head pattern, and it is not as beautiful as the star pattern, but it is more explosive and killing, and it is also unique.
She guessed that Grandpa would definitely like the Ice Pattern.
These big and small men can also see their personalities in the selection of pictures.
Xiao Zhengtai Ding Lilai is a science and engineering man, and he likes intuitive and powerful things.
Ding Liren is more like Ding Zhao, steady, sleek, not too maverick. Ding Lichun is like Ding Zhuang, he has special insights into affairs, dares to rush and fight, but is easy to be impulsive.
That's a great combination. Ding Zhao can carry it for Ding Zhuang, and Ding Liren can carry it for Ding Lichun.
The next evening, Ding Zhao came back, picked up Lilac and lifted it up, and then quietly laughed, "Your master is crazy with joy, and he chose the ice pattern." also asked my father to go to the county seat to pull a piece of silk for Xiangxiang as a reward......"
He regretted very much that his father did not choose a majestic mantle.
He also handed over a small silver openwork incense ball to Lilac, which was a special gift from Master Sun to you.
Although it is made of silver, the flowers and birds are extremely finely carved, a little smaller than the fist of a lilac, and it is very beautiful to hold in the palm of your hand.
Except for what she got at Jitou Peak, so Dongdong was Lilac's favorite, she smiled and narrowed.
Grandpa's knife is really so good, let the official send such a good thing to her?
Grandpa is a craftsman who is rarely found, and his craftsmanship is so good!
Master Sun is like this, which also makes Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao feel that they have face, and the official master values his own family.
On August 30, Ding Liren took a break, and Ding Zhao drove the ox cart to take the family to the county seat.
Lilac tied Feifei to the doorpost of the east chamber and played with Heiwa.
Lilac's heart flew to the study, not only because of the purple gourd, but also because of Xun Gongma.
After entering the city gate and storing the car, the family went their separate ways. Ding Lichun's four brothers and sisters went to the study to read, and Ding Zhao and Zhang went to see the shop that opened the embroidery workshop, and they also had to buy silk threads and pull materials for cloves.
Ding Zhao instructed his eldest son to guard his little daughter with a good eye.
There are two study rooms in the whole county, and they go to the nearby Songshan study first.
As soon as they entered the study, Ding Liren and Ding Lilai went to find the books they were interested in.
There was only Ding Lichun beside him, and Ding Xiang quietly asked the shopkeeper, "Is there a book written or compiled by Xun Qiandai?" ”
The shopkeeper looked cloudy, "Xun Qiandai's book, who is Xun Qiandai?" Haven't heard of it. ”
Xun Xiang was extremely disappointed.
She looked at Ding Lichun, which means that Xun Yuma is not as famous as you said, and the books are also niche, and even the owner of the county bookstore doesn't know.
Ding Lichun scratched his head and was embarrassed. He didn't brag, the people of the capital really like to talk about Xun Yuma, saying that he has great talent. Especially the little girl, when she talks about Xun Yuma's eyes, her eyes are shining.
He whispered to the shopkeeper again, "Xun Qiandai is Xun Concubine, is there any book on him?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "The master of the horses is all blessed, who is full of food and supports writing books and playing." The young man must have been mistaken. ”
Lilac had to look for books about plants or medicines.
The study is not large, most of them are books and poetry collections, scripts, and word stickers related to economics, and there are few professional reference books.
There are only about 20 books that Ding Xiang wants to read, and they are all in the top row of the bookshelf, and Ding Lichun has to step on a small stool to take them for such a tall person. If you are shorter, you have to step on a ladder.
The book contains textual descriptions of medicines and plants, as well as illustrations.
In order to save time, cloves basically only look at the picture, or look for the word "gourd". She looked through it and couldn't find what she was looking for.
Seeing Lilac's serious appearance, the shopkeeper asked Ding Lichun in wonder, "Your sister can read and write?" ”
Ding Lichun nodded with a smile and a proud expression. He didn't read, he kept looking at his sister and observing the movements around him.
In the end, only Ding Liren bought a thin sticker, and Ding Lichun helped him pay 500 yuan.
It's expensive!
Five hundred dollars can buy more than 20 catties of pork, but only buy such a thin book.
It was already the end of noon, and several people went to the restaurant that they had made an appointment with Ding Zhao.
Each person asked for a bowl of wontons to eat.
Zhang and Ding Zhao whispered, "I have sold the yarn for ten years, and the Nine Silk Embroidery Workshop is watched by the shopkeeper Gong. It's a pity that she's suddenly gone. ”
Ding Zhao said, "Now the shopkeeper doesn't understand anything at a glance, and he is arrogant, and eighty percent of them are relatives of the owner, so he squeezed the shopkeeper Gong away." ”
The two still felt that the two-story shop was too expensive, and the rent alone ranged from 80 taels to more than 100 taels of silver a year.
Ding Zhao discussed with Lilac, "Girl, is it okay for us to rent a shop on the first floor." ”
Lilac shook her head and said, "Not good." If you can't rent a good shop, you'd rather wait. ”
Zhang took out another piece of pink silk and a piece of blue muslin and said with a smile, "This is what your father asked us to buy, silk is used for spring shirts, and muslin is used for winter clothes." ”
After dinner, Ding Lichun led his younger siblings to another Qimingju study.
Zhang and Ding Zhao went to the hospital to see Zhang Jinshi.
Qingquan sent the two chapters upside down, and the content was corrected.
