Chapter 76 Making Jewelry

Chapter 76 Making Jewelry

Yan Shuqin saw her curled up into a ball and wrapped herself tightly with a quilt, thinking she was afraid, so she took off her coat and walked to the side of the floor shop, and said in a low voice: "Xiaosi, tonight, eldest sister will accompany you You go to sleep."

Yan Xiaosi was very cold, thinking that Yan Shuqin would help her warm her feet, so she let go of the bedding, moved to one side, and made room for half of the floor.

"Sister, come in."

Knowing that Yan Xiaosi was behind her daughter, Yan Shuqin didn't care anymore, turned into the bed and hugged Yan Xiaosi tightly.

The fourth sister has grown up so much, but it is the first time that she hugs her to sleep like this.

"Little Four, don't be afraid, Eldest Sister is by your side, Eldest Sister will protect you."

She hugged Yan Xiaosi and whispered in Yan Xiaosi's ear.

Yan Xiaosi smiled moved, twisted his body, and simply slept on Yan Shuqin's arms.

After a while, Mrs. Zhong and Yan Shuxue also took off their clothes and climbed onto the broken wooden bed inside, only Yan Shuyun didn't take off her clothes.

She was holding the piece of dog skin that Yan Xiaosi used at the market today to look at the scraps of fur that the proprietress of Xu's fur shop traded for.

Yan Xiaosi leaned her head in Yan Shuqin's arms and looked at her, "Third sister, hurry up and go to bed."

"I'm not tired yet, Mother, Eldest Sister, Second Sister, and Younger Sister, go to bed first, I'll do some sewing before going to bed."

As Yan Shuyun said, she put down the scraps of fur and went to get the needle and thread.

Yan Xiaosi saw that she didn't want to waste the lamp oil, so she wanted to do needlework, so she didn't feel sleepy, so she just threw off the thin and hard quilt and got up.

Yan Shuqin also got up.

She waved to Yan Shuyun and said, "Sanmei, don't you want to do needlework, come here and let's do it together."

Seeing that Yan Xiaosi and Yan Shuqin were both up, Yan Shuyun said to Yan Xiaosi: "Xiao Si, when you came back from the market today, didn't you say that you can make jewelry with these scraps of fur? Or, you Draw the shape, and I will do it as you drew."

"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and get some coals."

Yan Xiaosi got up and was about to go to the kitchen to fetch charcoal.

The third family of Yan's family was so poor that they couldn't even afford food, so they must have no spare money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones. In the past, Zhong's spare time to teach a few children to read and write, they used the charcoal left over from the fire in the kitchen.

Yan Shuqin pulled Yan Xiaosi back to the floor and said, "Xiao Si, if you are afraid of thunder, don't go out. I'll go to the kitchen to get charcoal."

In a moment of carelessness, I almost forgot that the original owner was afraid of thunder. When Yan Shuqin said this, Yan Xiaosi quickly acted very scared, and said to Yan Shuqin weakly: "Sister, the thunder is loud, you should be careful .”

Yan Shuqin smiled and replied, "Don't worry, sister is not afraid of thunder."

"Qin'er, it's dark at night, take the oil lamp and go to the kitchen to fetch coals."

Zhong Shi and Yan Shuxue also got out of bed.

Yan Shuqin went to fetch the oil lamp on the closet, and then went to the kitchen.

After she fetched a few pieces of black charcoal, Yan Xiaosi used the charcoal to draw on the old book left by Yan Bowen.

The hairpins and hairpins she painted are all inlaid with hair balls, and the style is very unique and novel.

Zhong Shi, Yan Shuxue, Yan Shuqin and Yan Shuyun sat around her, looking at the things she drew with charcoal, they were all surprised.

"Little Four, when did you learn to draw?"

What surprised Zhong was not only Yan Xiaosi's ability to design jewelry, but also Yan Xiaosi's painter.

This kid was able to draw jewelry so realistically with a simple piece of charcoal.

Yan Xiaosi stared at the several jewelry styles in front of him, and suddenly remembered that he had drawn a sketch with charcoal, and the skill of sketching did not exist in the Great Chu Dynasty.

She felt guilty for a moment before answering Zhong: "Mother, I don't know how I can paint. Maybe I inherited my father's intelligence and talent."

Yan Bowen is a well-known smart person from all over the world, so her explanation makes sense.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhong believed it, but after believing Yan Xiaosi's words, she sighed slightly and said in a low voice: "Your child is indeed as smart as your father, if you are a boy, you can take the imperial examination , into the court as an official."

Yan Xiaosi waved his hands and said, "Mother, what's so good about taking the imperial examinations, I don't want to be an official for me."

Her ambition is to make money, to make a lot of money, not to be an official and be bound by the rules of the court.

"Third sister, look, can you make the jewelry I painted?"

Yan Shuyun took the pattern from Yan Xiaosi, looked carefully at it for a while by the light of the oil lamp, and then replied to Yan Xiaosi: "Xiao Si, I can make the hairpins and the hairballs on them that you drew. I can do it, but I can’t do the main part of the hairpin and hairpin.”

"Third sister, you only need to know how to make these fur balls."

Yan Xiaosi patted his chest and said, "I will make the hairpin and the main part of the hairpin."

Seeing her full of confidence, Yan Shuqin asked curiously: "Little Si, what do you plan to use to make the hairpin and the main part of the hairpin, do you need the help of Eldest Sister?"

"Xiaosi, hairpins and the main part of hairpins are generally made of gold, silver or jade."

Zhong said with full consideration, "Even if you and your third sister can make these kinds of hairpins and hairpins, and can sell these hairpins and hairpins in the town, then what we are doing is still a small business. , How can such a small business use gold, silver or jade as the main body of hairpins and hairpins."

"Yes, little four."

After Zhong finished speaking, Yan Shuqin, Yan Shuxue, and Yan Shuyun nodded in agreement.

Yan Shuxue said: "Even if we use silver as the main body of these hairpins and hairpins, we will lose money."

Regarding Zhong's concerns, Yan Xiaosi had already thought of a way to solve them on the way back to Shaoyao Village.

She smiled and said: "Mother, our family doesn't have extra silver. How can I use silver to make the main body of these hairpins? There are plenty of high-quality wood on Girl Mountain."

Wooden hairpins and wooden hairpins were also used in the Great Chu Dynasty.

Mrs. Zhong agreed with Yan Xiaosi's idea, nodded and said: "In this case, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, mother will go up the mountain to chop some camphor wood. The camphor wood itself has a faint fragrance, and it is best to make wooden hairpins and wooden hairpins. It couldn't be better."

Zhong mentioned that he went up the mountain to cut camphor wood to make the main body of hairpins and hairpins, which reminded Yan Xiaosi of his agreement with Tian Dazhuang.

"Mother, if you go up the mountain to cut firewood tomorrow, I won't follow you."

She made an appointment with Tian Dazhuang to go to Daguniangfeng to dig herbs, follow Zhong and the others into the mountain, and then she would definitely not be able to get away to Daguniangfeng.

Zhong didn't expect that she had already made an appointment with Tian Dazhuang, and after hearing her explain that she didn't want to go to Siguniang Mountain tomorrow, she agreed, "That's fine, Mr. Long and Yun'er are both injured, you stay at home and take care of them. If it doesn't rain, Qin'er, Xueer and I can go to the mountains to cut firewood."

"Little Four, do you think I made this right?"
