Chapter 173 Swordsmith Tie Zhu
Zhou Xiaodu returned in vain this time. Fortunately, counting the days, it was the time to "get the knife". She could stop by Master Tiezhu to get the knife, so it was not all without success.
At the spring water banquet held in Cui Jinyu, the "Die Lianhua" head and face that Zhou Xiaodu obtained with great difficulty was later handed over to Ouyang Tiezhu, who was seeking the treasure, through the Yibao Pavilion. The reward was the master swordsmith.
A long knife made by Ouyang Tiezhu himself.
She prepared it for Xiaozhizhi.
The joy of buying new things for your children is really fascinating.
The place where Master Tiezhu lives is very remote. Fortunately, Yibao Pavilion gave him guidance, and Zhou Xiaodu found the valley without much effort.
The valley is much warmer and humid than the outside, full of vitality and the scenery is pleasant.
The small courtyard of Ouyang's family is located in a flower field. This flower field is filled with blooming flowers of various colors. They are colorful and fragrant. The gorgeous sea of flowers makes Zhou Xiaodu suspect that he has fallen into a big dye vat.
Avoiding a swooping bee, Zhou Xiaodu approached the interesting courtyard in the center of the flower field. The courtyard did not have a high wall, but was surrounded by a wooden fence half the height of a person. People were sitting in the courtyard.
, you can have a panoramic view of the sea of flowers, and people who are in the flower field can also see the scene in the courtyard.
A very tall osmanthus tree was planted in the yard. Under the golden cloud of flowers, there was a swing covered with gold dust. The tiles were covered with wisteria, hanging down lazily like a purple waterfall.
These flowers are blooming very well. In this cold season, they are simply amazing. They are even more exaggerated than the flowers and trees arranged in the Sheng Mansion. After all, the Sheng Family has to consider the coordinated beauty of density and density, but here it is
An unreasonable piling up, as if the entire valley is filled with flowers.
Zhou Xiaodu was a little uncomfortable with the fragrance of flowers. He couldn't understand why a knife maker would plant so many flowers. On the contrary, Tu Yuanxiang, a gardener, didn't have any flowers at home.
Thinking of the fact that Tu's family didn't grow flowers, Zhou Xiaodu remembered that Tu Zilu would get rash when exposed to flowers. At first, everyone thought he was following his father, but now they saw that Sheng Yuchi wasn't afraid of flowers either. They were everywhere in the Sheng Mansion.
Hua'er, so who did Tu Zilu's problem come from?
Zhou Xiaodu felt strange, but she had no time to think deeply. She knocked on the wooden door carved with flowers, birds, fish and butterflies, "Is Master Ouyang Tiezhu here?"
There were footsteps in the house, and a corner of the thick curtain on the door was lifted. An old woman revealed half of her face and asked in a loud voice: "Who are you?"
She was old, her face was full of wrinkles, and her voice was hoarse, but her tone was lively and familiar. Zhou Xiaodu discovered that her earrings were the gemstone peony earrings in "Die Lian Hua".
"The knife taker." Zhou Xiaodu answered briefly.
"Are you here to get the knife?" The old woman's eyes lit up, she opened the door curtain and ran out, talking to her through the fence, "Is it your knife? You're here! That's a good knife, you will definitely like it.
!”
Zhou Xiaodu saw her whole face clearly, and saw that the old woman was smiling, the hairpin on her head was swaying, the necklace around her neck, the rings, bracelets and armbands on her hands were all "die love flowers", except for that one
The gorgeous tiara was probably not worn because it was heavy.
This pair of pieces was the painstaking work of the famous craftsman Xu Fu of the former dynasty, a rare treasure coveted by countless people, and was casually worn by an old woman walking around in such a remote valley with few people.
Zhou Xiaodu looked at it twice, smiled and replied, "I'm looking forward to it."
The old woman opened the courtyard door and welcomed her in. As she walked, she shouted into the house: "Zhuzhu, the buyer has come to get the knife! Zhuzhu!"
"I know, I know." The person who answered should be Ouyang Tiezhu.
Zhou Xiaodu was brought into the house and saw the master's true face in Lushan, a vigorous old man with a white beard.
Master Tiezhu is not young anymore and has stopped forging swords for a long time, so when he saw his order in the Yibao Pavilion, Zhou Xiaodu was surprised and lamented that his sword never grows old.
This knife of hers may be Ouyang Tiezhu's masterpiece.
Ouyang Tiezhu came out of the kitchen with a bowl in his hands, put the bowl on the table, and greeted his wife: "Come and eat the rice dumplings with fermented rice wine, and then go take a nap after eating."
Mrs. Ouyang obediently sat down at the table, and while eating rice dumplings, she said, "Then you comb my hair and then take someone to see the knife."
"knew."
Zhou Xiaodu saw that Ouyang Tiezhu didn't pay attention to him, so he stood quietly aside and waited patiently with Master Tiezhu for the old lady to finish eating.
"I've finished eating...is there anything else?" Mrs. Ouyang looked at the bottom of the empty bowl and asked her husband.
"Let's eat it tomorrow. It's hard to digest. If you eat too much, you'll get a stomachache."
"Then I won't eat." Mrs. Ouyang took out her handkerchief and wiped her mouth, "If you eat too much, your stomach will hurt. If you don't accept it, you'll die."
Ouyang Tiezhu couldn't help laughing, "You still know that you can't accept old age?"
"You say it 800 times a day, and I can recite it!" Mrs. Ouyang shouted.
"Where are the eight hundred times?" Ouyang Tiezhu helped her back to the room, helped her take off the complicated jewelry on her body, untied her bun and combed it, and then coaxed her to sleep.
Zhou Xiaodu waited patiently for him to come out and saw the old man taking the bowl and spoon back to the kitchen and slowly washing the bowl.
Then, Ouyang Tiezhu took out the dried white fungus from the cabinet and started washing and soaking the white fungus...
Zhou Xiaodu couldn't bear it any longer, "Master Tiezhu, I'm in a hurry. Please give me the knife and I'll take it and leave."
Ouyang Tiezhu looked back at her and said, "Oh, I forgot about you... Oops, I have a bad memory when I get older. I won't be able to accept it anymore!"
Zhou Xiaodu: "..."
"I'll get it for you." He took two steps, stopped again, and said with sincerity in his eyes: "By the way, I also want to thank you for the Dielianhua. As you can see, my wife likes it very much and uses it every day.
Wear it on your body."
Zhou Xiaodu asked: "You are not willing to go out again to buy Dielian flowers, just to give them to my wife?"
"Otherwise? I can't wear it myself, right?" Master Tiezhu was puzzled.
Zhou Xiaodu: "I thought you were interested in jewelry craftsmanship."
"Hey, I'm just a rough guy who works in the iron industry. I'm not interested in these things from my daughter's house. I just want to make my wife happy." Ouyang Tiezhu waved his hand, "We are living less and less each day now, and there are many unfinished things.
You all need to hurry up!"
Is the unfinished business just to make Madam happy? Zhou Xiaodu said: "You treat Madam very well."
"No." Ouyang Tiezhu scratched his gray beard, feeling a little ashamed, "Old man, I only knew how to make iron and make knives in the past. I didn't care about anything. My wife has always taken care of me, so I owe her a lot..."
As he spoke, he sighed, "We are childhood sweethearts. We grew up together. When she was a teenager, she once said that she wanted a head and face like Die Lianhua's. She asked who would give her such a head and face.
She married him. But I didn't care at all at that time, because I knew that without that kind of reputation, she would marry me.
"Later we got married, we were noisy, but our relationship was very good, and we have been together for decades...until she lost her mind a few years ago, and always thought that she was still the little girl she was back then, and loved to dress up every day.
, saying young and naive words, I suddenly realized that I actually owe her a lot. Now I try my best to make up for it, but I am no longer a teenager..."
The old man glanced at Zhou Xiaodu and said enviously: "You are so young, so good."
He walked into another room and came out holding a long box, "This is my reward."
When Zhou Xiaodu opened the long box, he felt as if he could hear the sound of a sword. The blade of the sword was as bright as the bright moon. It beat the frost against the snow. No need to get started, you would know that it was a peerless weapon.
This is the sword made by the famous craftsman Ouyang Tiezhu.
It's truly extraordinary.
She commented truthfully: "It looks good."
"You don't have any other words?" Master Tiezhu was a little disappointed.
Zhou Xiaodu: "Okay... bright?"
Ouyang Tiezhu was completely disappointed. This was a waste of his talent. "That's it, you name it! I will engrave the name on the blade, and then you can take it away."

"A name?" Zhou Xiaodu was stunned for a moment.
