wind and rain scissors shop

Chapter 27-27.
Zheng Yide's chest heaved violently in anger: "I'm afraid you will learn my craft? Our Zheng family has been making scissors for decades, and is well-known in the south of the Yangtze River. There are 72 processes for forging scissors. You Do you understand? You have read it a hundred times, and you only know a little about it.”

Tian Erya was as imposing as a rainbow, with her chest upright: "Since you are not afraid that I will learn it, why don't you dare to forge scissors in front of me?"

Zheng Yide held his head high: "I don't want to."

Tian Erya scolded him: "That's because I'm afraid. According to the terms we negotiated before, I will work for you, and you show me your skills. I haven't asked you to teach me anything yet! You don't even dare to do it. Do it, because you are afraid that people will learn your craft at a glance. Making a pair of scissors is just so complicated, and you deliberately said it so mysteriously. Look at you, you have a white beard, and you can only talk big. These years, you have grown up When you are old, you don't have a brain."

Zheng Yuansheng raised her forehead, her mouth was really unforgiving, she was looking for a beating.

Zheng Yide was furious: "Tian Erya, you are not flat! Don't you want to see how I forge scissors? I will let you watch. Even if you are in front of me every day, watching how I forge scissors, you I can't learn it either."

Zheng Yuansheng was afraid that the old man would be angry, so he interrupted: "Second Uncle, I was just about to play a game of chess with you! After we finish playing chess, you..."

Tian Erya pushed him: "Don't make trouble, the old man is just trying to show off his scissor-making skills! Don't let him become a fake hand who just talks and doesn't practice."

Zheng Yuansheng was speechless.Today, he thought a lot, worried that she would be beaten again, he paced back and forth outside with a chessboard, when he heard the noise, he came in to smooth things over.Unexpectedly, this girl didn't know good from bad.

Zheng Yide was almost spit out blood by Tian Erya angrily, and said to Zheng Yuansheng: "You stay aside for now. I will forge a pair of scissors now, and let her watch in front of me, and I will see if she can learn it."

"Second Uncle, she doesn't speak properly, so don't be fussy like her." Seeing the old man trembling with anger, Zheng Yuansheng glared at Tian Erya, "Apologize to Second Uncle."

Tian Erya twisted her neck: "No, I'm not wrong."

Zheng Yuansheng's teeth itched in anger, and he finally understood why Second Uncle would toss her in different ways. Her mouth and temperament were inviting people to beat her.

Zheng Yide put on the apron: "Smelly girl, the second master will show you today what a master of blacksmithing is. Your little tricks are like a three-legged cat's kung fu in front of the master, which is not enough at all."

Tian Erya stared at Zheng Yide's movements with blazing eyes.

Zheng Yide picked up two pieces of material and threw them into the iron furnace. Seeing Tian Erya staring at him intently, she snorted. Even if she watched, she didn't know that she was testing steel.Next, he did a series of actions such as forging materials, drawing billets, slotting and breaking, and steel punching.

Tian Erya didn't dare to blink her eyes, she stared closely, watching him start to file the inside of the scissors, she was startled, the most crucial step of cutting the head and forging the blade was still not clear, what appeared in front of her was a bright cutting edge.How the hell did he do it?What else was thrown into the furnace during the test of iron besides iron?
After Zheng Yide finished making the scissors, he slapped the scissors in front of her: "I'm done, have you seen it?"

Tian Erya drooped her head.

"Speak! Have you learned it? Wasn't your voice too loud just now? Are you afraid to speak now? Say, have you learned it?"

Zheng Yuansheng saw that his second uncle was roaring like thunder at Tian Erya, and he sympathized with Tian Erya's difficulty, and felt that she was just asking for anger for angering second uncle.

Tian Erya was forced to speak, her voice was like a mosquito: "No."

Zheng Yide roared, "Speak louder."

"No." She yelled at the top of her voice, yelling out her own helplessness and uselessness.

Zheng Yide was satisfied, and nodded at her: "A wild girl in the country, she thinks she is great if she has a little bit of blacksmithing skills, and she yells here when she does a little work. You are still young! There are so many things to learn."

Tian Erya lowered her head, without the arrogance she had just now.

"Second Uncle," Zheng Yuansheng held Zheng Yide's arm, "I've been reading for a long time, and I feel a little dizzy, and now I want to play chess with you, so I can clear my mind, you won't let me wait here all the time, will you? I’ll have to study again when I get back.”

Zheng Yide just ignored Tian Erya, and smiled brightly: "The fourth nephew is still waiting to play chess with the second uncle! Oh, fourth, the imperial examination will start in a while, you are busy studying every day, how can you still play chess?" Thinking about your second uncle, I really care about it. Your time is so tight, will playing chess with me affect your study?"

Zheng Yuansheng waved the chessboard: "Second uncle, you are very skilled at playing chess. I like to play chess with you, and I can learn to change my thinking from it, which is of great benefit to my reading."

"Fourth brother, don't flatter me. You are the best chess player in our family, and I can barely keep up with you." Zheng Yide happily took the chess piece, "I thought I was very good at chess, but I didn't expect you, kid I was able to beat me consecutively before, and I was most looking forward to playing chess with you, and when your second brother came to play chess with me, I didn't even bother to play chess with you."

"In the future, as long as I have time, I will find my second uncle to play games."

Zheng Yide laughed loudly: "Fourth brother, you are a person who does great things, so you don't have to come every day. I know that it is not easy to pass the exam. Some people spend their whole life in the exam, and they will still be a scholar when they grow old. You have to prepare well for your studies, and you will be in a good mood. If you are bored, come to Second Uncle to take a look, and Second Uncle will be very happy."

Zheng Yuansheng smiled: "I see that my second uncle is still so healthy and happy, so I am also happy."

Zheng Yide winked at him: "Fourth, look at Tian Erya is moving the water tank! These days she has been doing a lot of heavy work in the blacksmith yard, and the second uncle is torturing her slowly. If she can't stand the torment, she will leave voluntarily." , I won't rely on you again."

"Second Uncle, Tian Erya said that when Ms. Wu shows up and clarifies her innocence, she will go home and won't cling to me and ask me to give her a title."

Zheng Yide didn't take it seriously: "What does a country girl say about innocence? There are too many maids who have been ruined in rich families. If they don't get married as usual, she will be one less."

Zheng Yuansheng let down Heizi: "Second uncle, you can't say that. Over the years, we have seen many women suffer from chastity and be abused by their in-laws. It is estimated that Tian Erya has learned from the past and does not want to repeat the same mistakes."

"As a country girl, she still has a long-term consideration."

"It doesn't work if you don't consider the long-term. The customs in our place are strict on the morality of men and women. If a man and a woman violate the etiquette and give and receive things privately, they will be ridiculed at least, and whipped and soaked in a pig cage."

Zheng Yide's memories were brought back to the past.When he met that beloved woman when he was in the prime of life, he was forced to be imprisoned here just because he took a few steps on the pond, and his beloved was nowhere to be found. It is estimated that the end will not be better than him.

Zheng Yuansheng stared at the chessboard: "Second Uncle, it's your turn."

"Ah? Good." Zheng Yide came back to his senses.

"Second Uncle, these days, Tian Erya is working in the iron yard, is there anything irregular about it?"

"That's not true. She is the most diligent person I've seen in the Blacksmithing Academy. Apart from wanting to learn my craft of forging scissors, she doesn't take the initiative to inquire about things. She's pretty dutiful."

Zheng Yuansheng nodded: "That's right. She is an honest country child. She wanted to come to our house to do odd jobs to earn some wages, but she was stunned by Miss Wu and her nanny on my bed. The strange man stayed alone in the room all night. If she doesn't clarify the reason, she will be talked about when she gets married in the future, and I owe her a debt."

Zheng Yide's eyes widened: "How could you owe her? Like her, you didn't know that Miss Wu's family was going to escape marriage, and you were stunned by Miss Wu's family. It's all Miss Wu's fault."

"If we really want to be serious, Miss Wu's family is wrong, and there is nothing wrong."

"How to say?"
