Chapter 457: Alertness
"Young Master, have you seen it?" Uncle Gui was really surprised, "Uh, no, I mean, you have seen such bamboo weaving fans before?" There are so many bamboo weaving fans, but no matter how good it is, you can tell at a glance that it is made of bamboo slices. But the handfuls he brought back are different. Most of the people who saw it for the first time thought it was made of silk brocade and other fabrics, and they would not think about it at all.
Zhiruo shook his head and said to the truth: "I haven't seen it before, but there is a faint bamboo fragrance, and it feels cool when I caressed it." If she hadn't heard of it, and was looking for the person who was looking for the bamboo fan, just these two points would have been impossible to confirm that it was a bamboo fan, which looked really different. She was an amateur and could not imagine that using bamboo could weave a delicate, soft and shiny fan like the texture.
"No? I felt the warm and cool feeling was very comfortable when I got this kind of fan for the first time," Uncle Gui smiled, "But I am not as sharp as your young master. I was still wondering what new fabric it was. I was thinking of making a few pieces to let the needle and thread room try to make a new style. As for bamboo fragrance, I thought it was fragrant, hahahaha." Not only did he have a slim eyes, but many people were like him, so he said that he discovered the baby. The young master came in time. The sooner such a good thing was done, the better, so that he would not be able to get the first place to stay.
"Although Niangzi has been making bamboo weaving fans for many years, she has only recently started weaving this kind of fine-crafted bamboo silk fan," said Gui, "I discovered it after only a few sold, haha."
"Miss Qiu?" Zhiruo found that he felt a little timid in his hometown and secretly laughed at himself, "It's so pretentious!"
"Yes, it's Madam Qiu who made these bamboo weaving fans," Uncle Gui nodded, "Young Master, you can't imagine that Madam Qiu is still a blind person. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk t
Blind? My wife? Zhiruo raised his eyebrows. What does it mean to be without any effort? That's it! She felt that this trip was a big explosion of character.
"It's just a craftsman with normal eyes. It's not easy to make the bamboo fan so exquisite," Zhiruo sighed sincerely, "Uncle Gui wants to cooperate with this lady Qiu? Will she agree? What conditions?" She didn't know if the blind mother-in-law in her previous life had cooperated with others. However, no matter what, Zhiruo felt extremely proud of relying on Uncle Gui's wise eyes and being able to think about cooperation immediately. Qi Mubai's subordinates are all powerful generals!
"We have a brief discussion, but you still need your confirmation from your son." Uncle Gui took a sip of tea and said in detail, "Miss Qiu's fan weaving skills are recognized within a radius of hundreds of miles. She has never launched this kind of bamboo silk fan before, and she is worried about the crime of possessing a treasure. However, her daughter is about to be born, and her son-in-law has no news. The life of an orphan and widowed mother depends entirely on her craft, so she has to plan to save more family business."
With the intention of cooperating, a person like Uncle Gui, who is cautious and considerate, will not only look at Niangzi's craftsmanship. After some open and secret investigations, Niangzi's life, experience, relatives and friends, he almost understands what he can find. At this moment, he has carefully described the life of Niangzi and his daughter in Linzhou Prefecture for five or six years, as well as the situation of their daughter Qiu Nianzu and son-in-law Cheng Mingfeng, as well as the recent rumors about Cheng Mingfeng.
"Cheng Mingfeng?" Zhiruo, who was shocked by the news that his blind mother-in-law and a daughter, was stunned. What a familiar name. I just heard it not long ago. Is it such a coincidence?
Luoshuang likes to pay attention to coincidences the most: "Cheng Mingfeng? This year's new Jinshi, I heard that he is now the junior brother of the prince, the prospective son-in-law of the Duke of Jingguo Mansion, and the accurate brother-in-law of the prince. He is not the same name and surname, right? Haha, we should ask if the new Jinshi Cheng Mingfeng went out of Linzhou Prefecture. However, it is said that Cheng Jinshi was deceived by his wife, and the orphan and widowed mother forced her to be a son-in-law. People are very aggrieved about this marriage. Also, men with some skills will not be son-in-laws, let alone the new Jinshi who are on the list of gold."
"Bah, it's so shameless! I spent so much money to support the Jinshi exam, but I feel wronged? It's really awesome! In this way, it should be this person," Uncle Gui's tone was a little more resentful. He had met the Qiu family twice, and he was considered an acquaintance. In general, people always sympathized with the weak, "But I think the Qiu family and the daughter seem to be prepared. If they really had something to do with the prince and the Duke of Jingguo Mansion, the orphans and widows were really unable to do anything."
His previous master's family was from the capital, so he spent more than ten years in the capital, and he was also in charge of the business for the master's family and dealt with outside all day long. He didn't know too much about this kind of thing, and there were not many cases of this kind of thing to finish. At least one or two cases? He thought about his old love or had some plans to demote his wife to a concubine, and he was a little more ruthless and secretly caused an accident to his wife. Most of them still made excuses to divorce his wife. Of course, the reasons must be that the woman was not good, unfilial, had bad illness, had no children, and even... lewdness.
Luoshuang looked dazed: "The mother and daughter are suspicious and prepared, so Miss Qiu decided to use her unique skills to earn more money. Otherwise, when she gets older, how can the family of three be old and weak? And our master is becoming famous, and every family has a great career, has a good reputation, and what she does are all novel things that others cannot learn. Not only does she have a bamboo weaving fan, but working with us can be said to be her best choice now."
"That's right," Uncle Gui quipped, "Who said that our Luoshuang girl is better than using her brain? Look at this analysis, it's very clear! Madam Qiu is not pretentious, she said that herself, so she really doesn't speak loudly without the lion I was worried about before."
"Uncle Gui, what kind of person is Miss Qiu in your opinion?" Zhiruo suddenly asked, "By your intuition."
"Intuition?" Uncle Gui thought for a while before saying, "I don't talk much, speak directly, briefly, and not serious. Uh, it seems that most of the widowed women who have been widowed for many years are like this, haha."
"However," said Gui, "A widow, a blind widow, raised her daughter alone. At first I thought that besides outstanding craftsmanship, people must be very smart. But after talking, I found that she was not as savvy and smart as I imagined. Of course, it was hard to calculate. Oh, by the way, they have two big wolf dogs, which are very fierce, and most people really dare not get close to them."
