Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 81
Zhiruo pretended that she didn't know about the looming scars on Huaihua's face, and calmly asked her a few questions, and Huaihua answered them obediently.What surprised Zhiruo and Ruchun was that Sophora japonica looked tall and thick, but her voice was very delicate.

When Huaihua was five or six years old, she was accidentally scalded by molten iron. Her family spent a lot of money to treat her injury, but it still left a terrible scar. Fortunately, her parents only had one child, and they still loved her very much. I despise her for being an ugly girl.Sophora japonica is also very filial. Her mother is in poor health, and her father works hard in the blacksmith shop in front of her every day. Although she is a girl, she is naturally strong and takes the initiative to take on all the housework at home, including heavy work, and even pesters her father. I learned blacksmithing in the hope of relieving my father's burden.

No, even her father thinks she has a talent for blacksmithing, and the work she can do is no worse than her father, a blacksmith who has been working for 20 years. Because of the girl's unique meticulousness, she can do many details better than her father. From time to time, customers (who happened to be made from Sophora japonica) would praise her father for making the ironware more and more beautiful.

Sophora flower girl was seriously ill and had spent all the family's meager savings, but she still walked away.Sophora Hua's father put everything together to bury Sophora Hua's mother properly, but he didn't expect that he would fall ill next.

In order to continue the work in the blacksmith's shop, the father and daughter were given food and clothing, as well as Huaihua's father's medicine money. Huaihua's father stayed in front during the day, and most of the work was done at night after the blacksmith's shop closed. of.

Unexpectedly, the father and daughter were discovered despite being cautious, and Huaihua's father even lost his life...

Zhiruo looked at Sophora japonica who became depressed again after talking about her father's death, and sighed: "It's all over, the deceased is gone. Your parents must hope that you can live a good life. From now on, our Zhuangzi Once the blacksmith is built, you will be responsible for the affairs of the blacksmith, and if necessary, you can also bring one or two apprentices."

"Is it really okay?" Sophora japonica, which had been lowering its head, suddenly raised its head, her eyes sparkling.She has been unattractive since she was a child, and has terrible scars on her face. She can't even sell it herself. Thanks to Uncle Qi who didn't mind it and bought her, she was able to bury her father and pay for the blacksmith shop (there are two houses behind it) ), so she never dared to ask Uncle Qi what a maid like herself would do.

Because of the scars on her face, Huaihua has mostly stayed at home since she was a child and has no friends, so she doesn’t know how to get along with outsiders. Suddenly she works as a maid in such a big village, and she can’t help but feel nervous, for fear that people will think she is ugly. , or think she is stupid.It was because her benefactor, Qi Bo, was standing aside that she calmly answered Zhiruo's question.

But she never thought that the eldest lady in charge of the business in Uncle Qi's mouth actually told her that she could blacksmith openly in the future, and even bring...take care of apprentices. Is this true?Although she is a woman, she really likes blacksmithing.

"Of course it's true," Zhiruo said with a smile, "In addition to making commonly used iron tools, I will also give you some drawings. You can make some things you have never seen according to the drawings. Some of them may require trial and error. Repeated production will be very hard, is there any problem?"

Huaihua shook her head excitedly: "No, no problem. Someone once brought a Fanbang dagger and asked my dad to shoot it. The result was figured out by me. My dad likes to hit big objects, and I like to make them. Something small and delicate.”

That was just right. Zhiruo was also very happy and said with a smile: "Okay, you go out first and get familiar with our Zhuangzi and the people in it. Rest for two days and learn the rules from the people arranged by Aunt Qiang, and then Uncle Qi will find If someone helps you build a blacksmith's workshop, you can put forward your own ideas and needs." "Hey," Huaihua let go completely at this moment and responded crisply: "I... no... I know, I know, I'm out. .”

Zhiruo smiled and shook his head, and told Ruchun: "Let Xiying or someone lead the way and send her back to the front." This Sophora japonica is also a simple and well-behaved one, but it doesn't match her appearance at all.Therefore, people should not be judged by their appearance!
Ruchun agreed and hurriedly followed her out. She also liked Sophora japonica and her temperament was a bit like Rudong.

Uncle Qiang was very excited. As soon as the door was closed, he said hurriedly: "Girl, the blacksmith's workshop is ready. You can let Huaihua get that crossbow out first. Let Mo Wang and Shi Xiaofeng figure it out with her. Anyway, the crossbow needs Iron also needs wood." A few days ago, Zhiruo showed him, Qi Bo, and Mo Wang the drawings of a crossbow, and roughly introduced its functions, characteristics, and differences with bows. The three of them were deeply impressed and looked forward to it. , I can’t wait to catch a blacksmith immediately.

"Well," Zhiruo nodded, "Besides the crossbow, there are some drawings of other hidden weapons from other countries in my father's book, but I don't understand them, and I don't remember them all. I can only let Mo Wang and Shi Xiaofeng think more about it. Wait, Sophora japonica has tried it a few more times." Shi Xiaofeng is really a smart guy and is very good at reading blueprints.

However, Shi Xiaofeng was a waste of talent as a craftsman. If he wanted to train him as a counselor around Minghui, someone who understood and trusted each other and could remind Minghui at critical moments.So Shi Xiaofeng now studies with Su Kang along with Mingze and Minghui every day.

After talking about Sophora japonica, Uncle Qi still smiled and said: "Girl, there is one more thing. I accidentally broke one of the six jars of wine I brought. As a result, someone smelled the aroma of the wine and insisted on holding on to it. He bought three jars by force, each jar cost 30 taels of silver." This time when he went to inspect the two small villages, the eldest girl asked him to bring their purified wine. There were three jars in each village, one jar was given to the head of the village, and the other one was given to the head of the village. The two altars were shared at the New Year party banquet.

Zhiruo was stunned for a moment, and then his heart twitched: "Uncle Qi, what do you mean, you met the old man in the middle of the mountain by chance?" After being "forcibly" bought the wine, Uncle Qi was so excited. It couldn't be just because It must have been sold at a high price (the bottom wine they bought was all good wine, including wine that had been stored for ten years, but the most expensive jar only cost five taels of silver. Moreover, the six jars that Uncle Qi brought were in The wines currently in their cellar are just the most average)?
Moreover, there are probably not many drunkards who insist on buying a drink when they smell it, and are willing to pay such a high price, right?Just like the only person who can steal someone's wallet just by smelling the scent of cake is Su Kang, the ultimate foodie.

Uncle Qiang laughed loudly and said to Uncle Qi: "Look, you still want to show off, but our girl thought of it right away."

Sure enough it is!Zhiruo couldn't help but be excited and looked at Uncle Qi expectantly.What a coincidence, right?Or did she live too stupidly and die too unjustly in her previous life, so she was reborn, and God was kind to her and gave her so much good luck?
