Chapter 34 34
Walking along the long bridge is the sword hut of Hidden Sword Villa. In the hall, Ye Fangzhi and a group of senior swordsmiths are surrounded by something. According to disciples, when Ye Ying arrived, he was holding the pitch-black Iron Mine turned around, "Master, this is... millennium cold iron."
Qingjun's eyes stared at the pitch-black iron stone in Ye Fangzhi's hand, and his slender fingers gently caressed the smooth stone body, and the slightest chill passed through his fingers directly into the bone marrow, as if responding to the boundless search in his heart, his fingertips trembled slightly .
Ye Meng was standing by the side, just now he asked if this cold iron could make a sword, the answer is of course it can, and the quality is absolutely excellent!He also knew that his eldest brother had been looking for famous sword casting materials, and now he finally found it.
"Cold iron is hard to find, let alone this thousand-year-old cold iron, the four masters, where did you find it?" Ye Fangzhi asked excitedly.
Ye Meng smiled, didn't speak, just nodded to the girl in Tsing Yi who was following Ye Ying.
Her black eyes were a little apprehensive, she raised her head and asked Ye Ying beside her, "Do you like it?"
His thin lips were slightly pursed, he didn't know what to say at this moment, Millennium Hantie, who would have thought that what she brought back would be such a precious thing, it was really a generous gift, he nodded under the girl's expectant eyes .
"That's good." Jing Shu breathed a sigh of relief, blinked her thick eyelashes, and her eyes fell on the stone in Ye Fangzhi's hand. The silver-white cyclone condensed under the black shell without melting. He murmured softly: "It's beautiful, I've never seen such a beautiful color."
The master swordsmith next to him sighed. If he used this iron to forge a sword, he would be more popular than the swords from the previous three famous sword conferences. The Ye family's reputation would undoubtedly increase a lot.
That day, Ye Ying stayed in the sword hut very late, discussing the tempering process of cold iron with several swordsmith masters.By the time a group of people had finished their discussions, it was already past Haishi, the moon was hanging high outside, and the cool breeze was blowing.
A group of people sent Ye Ying to the hall, but they saw a person crouching crookedly on the seat. They got the owner's wink, and they all retreated silently.
He came to her side with gentle steps, and the closed eyelashes trembled just as he was about to raise his hand, "Master?"
"Go back." Seeing her rubbing her sleepy eyes, Ye Ying must have been paying attention to the wind and grass around her during this trip to the south. After returning home today, she dragged him to the Sword Cottage and never had a good rest.
"Oh." Jing Shu got up, followed Ye Ying in small steps, and the two walked slowly along the long bridge to the village.
The evening breeze brought the fragrance of lotus swaying on the lake, which was refreshing. It was early spring when I left, but now it is midsummer, and it has been so long in a flash.Raising her gaze slightly, she quietly looked at the person walking in front, her eyes were full of moonlight, and bright stars emerged from her black pupils, clearly surrounding the reflection in her eyes.
"Look at the road."
The light in her black eyes faded away, she blinked and saw the stone pillar in front of her clearly, coughed lightly, and walked around to Ye Ying's other side.
What a familiar picture.
"You always think about things like this when you walk, be careful to go into the lake next time." Ye Ying looked helplessly at the person who didn't know what she was thinking about. After so many years, her stupid illness is still the same as before.
"Oh." Jing Shu touched her head, shaking her eyes as if she had stayed elsewhere again.
What is it that is so important?Not knowing whether to laugh or cry in her heart, Ye Ying lowered her eyes, slightly pursed her lips, raised her sleeves, took the warm little hands beside her into her palms, and slowly led her forward.
The tiny fingers curled up slightly, as if scratching lightly with a feather in his heart, and there was an itchiness and tenderness in his chest. He glanced at the woman walking beside him from the corner of his eye, and his black and white eyes were still straight. It landed in the distance in a daze, as if still wandering in the sky.
When she reached the gate of the villa, the tender hand in her palm suddenly tightened. Ye Ying glanced at her and let go of her hand lightly, "What are you thinking?"
Jing Shu was startled to realize that she was being led all the way by Ye Ying, and her face flushed as if she had just swallowed a mouthful of boiling water. She lowered her head and rubbed her face, her eyes fixed on her toes, "I'm thinking of a way."
"What do you think?"
Jing Shu hesitated for a while, and said: "Master, your sword realm has stopped for a long time."
I don't know when it started, every time she looked at Ye Ying, she felt a stagnant air flow. She didn't want her to come back from a long journey this time, and the air condensed even more, "I...I can't think of a way."
A flash of surprise flashed in Qingjuan's eyes. In recent years, he often felt the sword state loosen when he realized the sword, but he still couldn't get in. But he didn't tell anyone about it, "You can see it."
Rubbing her reddish face, Jing Shu said in a low voice, "It's just that I can see the anger on the owner."
No wonder her eyes are sometimes bright and sometimes not. It turned out that she was looking at this secretly. Ye Ying saw that her eyes were swaying and wondered if she was about to lose consciousness again, so she tapped her on the head lightly, "Don't think about it. I have my own way."
The sword realm stagnated for a long time, but Ye Ying did not show any impatience. Perhaps he had already thought of a countermeasure.Jing Shu responded, no longer thinking about it, and obediently followed Ye Ying back to Luomeiju.
The merchant ship went south to gain a lot of money, and the things they brought back made a lot of money. Ye Hui wiped away a lot of rewards, and specially asked Jing Shu, who kept the bookkeeping, to add more to her own share and don't forget take.
Ye Meng happened to be nearby, and he laughed when he heard him say, "Second brother, you are so kind to Miss Jingshu, just give her the key to the warehouse and leave it at will."
Unexpectedly, Ye Hui waved his hand, "She has a key."
Ye Meng almost spit out the tea that he hadn't swallowed yet. He looked at Jingshu who was sitting upright and lowered his head remembering the silver reward, and then looked at Ye Hui who was not caring on the other side, and remembered what Ye Hui said before Jing Shu said, "Miss Jing Shu really has the talent of a mistress."
Ye Hui saw the meaningful eyes of his fourth brother constantly drifting back and forth between him and Jing Shu, and suddenly remembered the thoughtless letter Ye Meng wrote when the merchant ship was going south, his face darkened, and he made a gesture of slapping his hands. I want to give him a chestnut, "What's on your mind, kid!"
"Let me see... Although Miss Jingshu is a bit younger, she is quite suitable to stand with the second brother." Ye Meng smiled and pretended to hide, "I just want to be my good sister-in-law."
Unexpectedly, Ye Hui's face turned darker, "I knew you were a kid talking nonsense!"
Huh?
Ye Hui turned his head to look at Jing Shu who was about to get up and go out after remembering the reward, "Have you remembered everything?"
She nodded calmly, as if she didn't hear a word of the conversation between the two brothers.
"Then take the money and go, I haven't seen you for a while." Ye Hui nodded, his eyes showed some melancholy, and after Jingshu left, he turned black and looked at Ye Meng who had obviously misunderstood something. She picked it up and said, "That girl Jingshu said she would not marry in the future, and I didn't care if I tried to make a matchmaker for her before. You, don't leave any pot unopened."
Huh?Big brother, that sword idiot, doesn't matter if he doesn't marry, why doesn't a good girl like Jingshu not marry?Ye Meng was stunned for a long time, "Then why did you give the key to the warehouse? Isn't that something that only members of our Ye family can hold?"
Ye Hui slapped him on the forehead, and no one on the left or right lowered his voice and said: "Jingshu and the third brother got close, and gave all her monthly money to the third brother, and didn't keep any of her own expenses. This girl is kind-hearted and kind." Clever, if the third brother is in trouble outside in the future, she knows what to do with the key, otherwise why would I let her take care of the accountant. "
Only now did Ye Meng realize that Ye Hui had pulled such a big cover under Ye Mengqiu's eyes, and his chest couldn't help but thump, "Then what if my father finds out..."
Ye Hui knocked him on the brain again, this fourth brother was really too thoughtful, why didn't he see that Jing Shu was being protected by his elder brother?The thought of making him and Jing Shu together is still in his mind, I don't know if their elder brother is reluctant to part with it!
The treasury was connected to the account room. Jing Shu took the money and distributed it to the people who accompanied her southward one by one according to the recorded amount. After the last one was distributed, she looked at the last bulging money bag left on the table, closed the account book and Carried out and went out.
After leaving the gate of the villa, Jing Shu hid the money bag in her sleeve and walked towards the familiar alley. The dilapidated courtyard wall was still the same as she remembered. When she heard someone inside, she raised her hand and knocked.
Liu Xi, who was dressed in common clothes, came out and saw a woman in Tsing Yi who hadn't seen him for a long time standing outside the gate, "Miss Jingshu?"
The crescent eyebrows were slightly frowned, why did Liu Xi look so sallow and thin, she bowed slightly, "Third Madam."
Liu Xi welcomed her into the room, and Jing Shu saw a large pile of the same fabrics on the low table, and looked closely at Liu Xi's hands, which were covered with scars from pinhole wounds, "Where is the third owner?"
"Husband, he went fishing." Liu Xi sat down at the low table and said with a smile, "When you go to Qiongzhou, you must have seen some beautiful scenery? My uncle also often goes on business trips, although he didn't go I have been to Qiongzhou, but every time I come back and tell me about the new things I saw.”
Nodding her head, Jing Shu briefly talked about what she had seen and heard, but her eyes glanced at the vegetable field outside. This year's hot summer, the vegetable seedlings are all shriveled and lying on the ground. It seems that there is no harvest "Third Madam, has anything happened recently?"
"No, everything is fine." Liu Xi smiled slightly, and after sitting with Jing Shu for a while, she heard movement from the gate of the courtyard, and she was overjoyed, "Probably my husband is back."
Jing Shu nodded, her current perception can naturally detect who is approaching around her.
Liu Xi walked out with a smile on her face, Jing Shu followed behind her, her dark eyes swept towards the man who was walking towards her, she could see the dejected look in his eyes, his eyes were hanging on the empty fishing net in his hand, and her intuition told her that during this period of time They are not doing well.
"Why are you here?" Seeing the green clothes behind Liu Xi, Ye Wei felt indescribably complicated.
Jing Shu bowed and saluted, "I just returned to the village a few days ago and was busy with business, so I didn't have time to visit. Please forgive me, the third owner."
"You... don't come here in the future." Ye Wei's face darkened, "Don't get the eldest brother and the second brother into trouble."
Something must have happened, Jing Shu looked up and fell on Liu Xi next to her, the latter smiled a little forcedly, seeing people sad, seeing Jing Shu's insistence, she said with a wry smile: "Sister Ping sent us money and was rejected." It was discovered, and the monthly payment was cut off, so now I can only go to other places to work."
It seems that the Liu family is determined to ignore this daughter who is suffering outside, that's all, Ye Mengqiu is similar, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone find out."
Ye Wei frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jing Shu.
"First, Zhuangzi's anger is only the old owner, and the second owner is worried that you will always cover me, so it will not be easy to be discovered."
"Secondly, although I'm not a martial arts practitioner, every plant and tree within a hundred steps is under my eyes and ears. If someone is following you, you'll know it right away. This is why the owner of the village always rest assured that I will come out."
"Third, even if I am really caught by the old owner, I will tell him that I voluntarily helped you and has nothing to do with others."
She took out the money bag from her sleeve and stuffed it into Liu Xi's hand, "This is the reward I got for going south to work, please accept it. If you have any difficulties in the future, just speak up."
When leaving that day, Ye Wei suddenly said that he would see her off for a while. The two of them were walking in the narrow alleyway. After a while, Ye Wei uttered two words, extremely solemn, "Thank you."
It is really rare to be able to thank Third Young Master Ye, Jing Shu stopped, "I just want to help Third Madam."
