The Queen of Sword Cultivation is against the sky again

Chapter 231 A Hairpin

Xie Lingyan asked curiously, "Is there really a hairpin for curing diseases?"

The proprietress smiled and said, "Miss Hui, this is available. The purse we wear, put a few pieces of vanilla in it, and it will smell fragrant. The hairpin is carefully carved and infused with Taoist patterns. Naturally, it can be used for self-defense. Of course, if the spiritual power of the Dao pattern is insufficient, that’s another matter. As for dispelling evil spirits, there are hundreds of prescriptions in ancient times. There is a Tao wood sword that can dispel evil spirits. Since peach wood can be cut into wooden swords, it is natural that it can also be carved into hairpins. Then isn’t this hairpin meant to keep you safe and get rid of evil spirits?”

Xie Lingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so it could be explained in this way.

This proprietress is really eloquent, and the withered flowers can be said to bloom again.

Xiao Shengxuan asked, "Ling'er, do you want to see a hairpin like that?"

Xie Lingyan said, "It's natural to think about it. I originally wanted to choose a hairpin. It should be lighter and thinner. It doesn't need to be inlaid with gold and jade. It is too dazzling and easy to be stolen."

The proprietress said, "Miss, do you want to buy a wooden hairpin?"

"Yes, yes, do you have them here? I just took a look around. The hairpins and other jewelry here are very exquisite and gorgeous. I'm not saying they are not good-looking, or they are not my favorite."

The proprietress said, "Those streamlined jewelry that girls want, we also have them here. Everyone has their own aspirations and preferences are also very different, so we have prepared enough according to what customers think."

The proprietress invited the two distinguished guests to go in, and she could see that the young man was extraordinary, and the girl was also extraordinary, with a bright and clean appearance, a sword on her back, and a rare white jade dress. General brocade fabric.

The proprietress was full of enthusiasm, thinking that it was rare to welcome the master who knows the goods, so she naturally wanted to entertain her well.

She personally led the two distinguished guests inside.

Xiao Shengxuan led the people around him and went in with him.

Inside this store, there is a door that leads to the inside. After passing through the door, it is a quiet and small courtyard. At a glance, there are rockery and flowing water, surrounded by corridors and terraces, which is very elegant and unique.

Xie Lingyan watched as she walked, she said, "Nine curved corridors, the scenery is unique, and there is no other world."

No one can imagine that there is such a beautiful and refined place in this small store.

The proprietress looked at the match made in heaven and felt a little envious.

This little girl should be the heart of the masked boy.

Talented and beautiful, really enviable.

Come to think of it, young people are good, walk the path they like to walk, and do what they like to do.

Several people went together to an elegant wing room, inside which was an ancient shelf of the Duobao Pavilion of the Moon Cave Gate, above which were placed precious, delicate and flexible ornaments.

Xie Lingyan looked at the Duobao Pavilion, which complemented the room, and couldn't help but marvel, it's a good thing.

She saw an ancient hairpin with a budding flower engraved on the hairpin, and the body of the hairpin was carved with exquisite and intricate patterns.

The proprietress has been observing the little girl, and found that the distinguished guest has found a perfect match, so she said, "The girl has really sharp eyes, have you found your favorite gift?"

Xie Lingyan pointed to the hairpin and asked, "What's its name?"

The proprietress said, "The red sandalwood Lingxiao hairpin."

"Made of sandalwood?"

"Yes."

"That must not be cheap."

Xie Lingyan hesitated, she just wanted to buy a hairpin, she didn't want to show off on her body.

Xiao Shengxuan asked, "Do you like it?"

Xie Lingyan took a bite of the candied haws in her hand and said, "Honestly, I like it, but there's no need to buy it."

Xiao Shengxuan said, "Since I like it, I'll buy it. These must be unique items, aren't they?" He asked the proprietress.

The lady proprietress said, "Master, you have great insight. Rare things are the most precious. This red sandalwood Lingxiao hairpin was made by a famous craftsman in the Northern Territory. It was originally intended as a gift for your loved one. It's just that she passed away and he was at a dead end , took out this hairpin for auction, and then our Ruyifang bought it at a high price."

Xie Lingyan said, "Since it is given to the deceased, why not be buried with it, it is a bit taboo."

She doesn't want to buy items left behind by others, and wants unique gifts, she might as well customize them herself and let people make the rarest ones.

The proprietress said, "The dead are gone, and the living are like this. Besides, the tombstone has already been erected. Is it possible to disturb the people in the underground just to give such a hairpin?"

"Then burn it." Xie Lingyan was a little disgusted. She was very interested in it at first, but she heard that it was something given to the dead. She didn't like this kind of thing the most.

The proprietress said, "If you want to burn it and give it away to the person who sent it away, let alone the girl, the master craftsman really tried it, but the fire couldn't wear through this wooden hairpin, and even the quilt remains on it. The traces of the fire."

"It is said that when the hairpin was first made, the wood was white and it didn't look very good, but after being burned by the fire, it took on a different look, which is the sleek brown shape we see now, the hairpin Now it looks firm and moist in texture, soft and soft like jade to the touch, but light as nothing when weighed.”

Xie Lingyan reached out and took it to feel it. She said, "The touch is really good. Is it because of taboos that this hairpin has been put on the shelf all this time?"

The proprietress said, "To tell you the truth, it's true. Many people care about this as a gift for the deceased. Now that the living take it for themselves, what's the point?"

"Then why does the proprietress still tell the truth? You can repackage it, hide the truth, and just make up a lie, wouldn't it be better?"

The proprietress shook her head, "That's the truth, why should I deceive myself, all the jewelry on this shelf has its origins, I can't erase them all in the past, if someone who is destined to find out someday, I will The reputation of Ruyifang will be ruined."

Xie Lingyan said, "Where is the master craftsman who carved this hairpin, is he still alive?"

The proprietress said, "He is still there, now he is an octogenarian living in Taoluyuan."

"Is he from the Yu family?" Xiao Shengxuan asked suddenly.

The proprietress said, "How does the young master know?"

Xiao Shengxuan said, "I've heard of the people who live in Taoluyuan. Maybe they are down and out and no one asks. Most people have forgotten where he came from."

This Yu family once had a son who was very talented and had extraordinary roots, but he became a waste when he grew up. He devoted himself to studying wood carvings and wasted all his talents and spiritual roots in vain.

The proprietress said, "It seems that the young master knows this master craftsman?"

"It's just a little bit of hearing. I heard that he prefers to be called a woodcarver."

This woodcarver is not only good at carving wood, but also good at making cold weapons.

He only forged three iron wares in his life, one of which was a knife, one was a sword, and the other was a gun. He named them respectively: Dream of Banana Deer, Cicadas Don’t Know Snow, and Dead Trees Come Spring.

The proprietress said, "I've also heard of these three weapons. It is said that they were placed on the stage for auction but no one paid any attention to them."

Xiao Shengxuan said, "Mice-eyed people, how do you know the holy things in the weapon?"
