[Seven Five + Sword Three] White jade dyed bright yellow

Ye Shulan let go of Bai Yutang's sleeve that had been in her hand, tapped her toes, walked on the water, flew to the open space next to the rockery by the lake, then bent down, as if she was looking at something.

The yamen servant in charge of leading the way was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the others: "Princess, this is..."

Ding Yuehua was also puzzled, and turned to look at Bai Yutang: "What's wrong with the leaves?"

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and shook his head: "Brother Zhan will take Yuehua in first, and younger brother will take Shulan there in a while."

Zhan Zhao nodded, glanced at Ye Shulan, and signaled to the yamen servant who was still in a daze to take them to meet the eunuch first.

Bai Yutang immediately flew over and stood beside Ye Shulan: "What are you looking at?"

Ye Shulan blushed with excitement, and pointed to the bottom of the rockery: "Look Tangtang, it's meteorite, meteorite! I found the material for Xiao Zhengming's sword!"

Only then did Bai Yutang take a closer look - it was a black stone, hidden behind the rockery like a shadow naturally formed by the rockery, it wasn't too big, and Bai Yutang didn't see anything strange about it.

"... Meteorite is the best way to make swords. The iron content is high, and the weapons cast are very strong." Ye Shulan said enthusiastically: "Back then, the old owner Ye Mengqiu used meteorite to quench it in the fire of lava. Refined a magic weapon, the sword has its own scorching heat, and it can also break the wind and dust, so it is named Zhiyan Duanchen. Although this piece of meteorite is not too big, I can't find any lava for the time being. Fire, but it is very easy to forge a good sword for Xiao Zhengming."

"Then go ask the prefect for this stone?"

"En!" Ye Shulan nodded heavily, then pulled Bai Yutang's sleeve and urged: "Then Tangtang, let's go find the prefect!"

It was just a stone, the princess spoke up, and the prefect of Hangzhou naturally had no reason not to refuse.So that afternoon, a group of craftsmen with digging tools came to the magistrate's government office to dig stones.

What made Ye Shulan even more happy was that what she saw on the ground that day was just the tip of the iceberg of meteoric iron. When the whole thing was dug out, it was surprisingly large, about two meters wide and three meters long.In the end, it took a four-horse cart to pull back to the villa.

Ye Yang was also very excited when he saw such a large meteorite. Although he was not proficient in sword casting skills, as the owner of the hidden sword villa, he still knew a lot more than others.So when the car drove into the villa and walked in the direction of Jianlu, he kept chattering non-stop.

When the meteorite was unloaded in the sword hut, Xiao Zhengming, who had been silently comprehending the sword technique, also came over to watch the excitement.

Seeing him, Ye Shulan pinched his little face with a smile: "Sister Ye Zi is going to forge a sword for you, are you happy?"

Ye Zhengming nodded, keeping his eyes on the piece of meteorite, with obvious expectation in his eyes.

Hua Chong has been successfully captured, and the prefect of Hangzhou has sent people to take him to Kaifeng Mansion. Although the matter of Bawangzhuang has not been completely resolved, the remaining matters are not too big a problem. Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua bid farewell to them—this trip After all, leaving Beijing also has the option of visiting relatives, and besides Mohua Village, Zhan Zhao also wants to take Ding Yuehua back to the Zhan family's old house in Changzhou Prefecture.So Ye Yang didn't do much to keep him, and only prepared a feast to practice.

After Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua left, Ye Shulan and Bai Yutang strolled around Hangzhou for a few days, relaxed a bit, then chose an auspicious day, and solemnly announced that they would open the furnace to forge swords.

For Ye Shulan, the more Ye Yang got in touch with him, the more he felt that the other party was full of mysteries, so at this time, the other party wanted to open the furnace to forge swords, and he both agreed and looked forward to it.

To forge a sword, Ye Shulan will soon be in a semi-closed state—although she doesn't need to lock herself in the sword hut alone, but she doesn't have the mind to do other things.Because casting a sword is a very labor-intensive thing, not only physically exhausting, but also focusing on it wholeheartedly. Apart from the necessary food and sleep every day, basically there is only non-stop exercise and tempering. Coupled with the fact that Jianlu Town is on fire every day, it is indeed very difficult when it is about to enter the beginning of summer.

Fortunately, the cooks at the Cangjian Villa are not bad. Even though they are tired every day, Ye Shulan doesn’t think it’s hard work—on the contrary, she feels that this kind of life is like returning to the Cangjian Villa in her memory. The biggest thought is probably the biggest thought every time she makes a sword. It is to forge a good sword and get a compliment from the owner of the village... But there is still a difference in the end——

Ye Shulan slammed the hammer heavily on the long strip of meteoric iron that had been tempered in her hand, took a closer look, then clenched the clip holding the iron piece tightly, and stuck it into the stove in front of her.

Only then did she notice the sweat on her forehead, and when she was about to take out the handkerchief in her arms to wipe it, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out to help her dry the sweat skillfully, and then naturally wiped off her somewhat loose kerchief Rearranged a bit, the hairpin clip is good.

Ye Shulan was taken aback, turned her head, and blinked: "Tangtang? Have you been here?"

Seeing the other party's white and soft cheeks turned red from the fire, Bai Yutang smiled, leaned down and kissed, sure enough, it was slightly hot.

Ah... The soft and cool touch on the cheek is very comfortable, Ye Shulan narrowed her eyes, and was momentarily dazed.However, the noise from the stove quickly brought her back to her senses, and when she looked up, she was almost burning... The eyes that were stained with confusion just now became clear instantly, and Ye Shulan immediately forgot Bai Yutang aside, pulled out the burnt The red-hot iron piece raised the hammer again, which was almost taller than her, and fell heavily——

Sparks flew, and the beating sound of "pang pong" sounded again. Bai Yutang stepped back a few steps, leaned against the wall beside him, and watched quietly with peaceful and gentle eyes.

Of course, Bai Yutang doesn't stay with Ye Shulan in Jianlu every day. After all, he also has his own business—not to mention that he needs to inspect the industry of Zhakong Island near Hangzhou frequently. Ye Yang didn't have the nerve to occupy many of the places, so they gradually became empty islands, and they were all just start-up shops, and Bai Yutang was also slightly busy.

Divided by eating and sleeping, Ye Shulan's daily casting is divided into three periods, morning, afternoon, and evening, with a [-]-hour break in between.Sitting on a chair in the courtyard of Jianlu, after waiting for a long time for tea, Ye Shulan realized that there was something wrong with a jewelry store at the east end of the West Lake. Bai Yutang went to help solve it, and silently poured tea for herself. It was the first time that Ye Shulan, who started to forge swords independently, felt lonely—if Tangtang was here, even if she didn’t say anything, she would still be happy in her heart... But, it is true that Tangtang can’t stay in the sword cottage just to accompany her Ah, Tangtang also has his own life...

Ye Shulan frowned, feeling conflicted.

However, Ye Shulan's conflicted heart didn't last long—at the end of March, Zhao Zhen sent the two little princesses over.

Little Lolita is indeed a caring little padded jacket. After being told by Master Ye Yang not to disturb Sister Ye Zi's sword casting, the two little princesses observed silently for a long time, and then quickly grasped Ye Shulan's rest time. The fruit snacks to eat came early, sat at the door and waited quietly.After Ye Shulan came out, he chattered around her about his progress in martial arts and what interesting things he heard from the kitchen lady recently.Accompanied by two little princesses, Ye Shulan quickly adjusted her mentality—but, she seemed to be even more tired...

Ye Shulan was holding the rice bowl, while pulling the rice into her mouth, but her eyelids couldn't help but wanted to close together. If Bai Yutang hadn't been watching her add vegetables to her bowl, she might have been eating rice grains until she was full. .

After a bowl of rice was finished, Ye Shulan stopped forcing herself, closed her eyes, sank her head, and fell asleep on the dining table.

Bai Yutang could only put down the bowls and chopsticks, carried him into the room, glanced at the two little princesses next to him, and wondered if he should go to Jianlu to accompany her tomorrow, anyway, he just happened to find a Something that can be done at this time.

——Actually, this is really not caused by the two little princesses.The process of hammering and forging when casting swords is getting more and more tiring. Because of the high purity of iron, compared with ordinary iron, meteoric iron will cost more effort when forging, but the progress will be slower. After all, Ye Shulan is the first time Forging meteorites is only measured by previous experience. I only think that my strength has regressed, so I naturally work harder, which is why I am so tired.But Bai Yutang's going is not without benefits. Although Ye Shulan will forget everything around her once she puts herself into it, as long as she subconsciously has the idea that "important people are with her", her mind will always become peaceful unconsciously. Get up and do things with half the effort.

This went on until June.

When Ye Shulan was taking off her turban and was about to wash her hands and eat supper, Bai Yutang suddenly asked her: "Is it convenient for you to come back to the empty island with me in the next few days?"

"Do, what?" Ye Shulan felt a little inappropriate after asking——Bai Yutang had been staying with her in Hangzhou for no reason during this time, and it was time to go back and have a look after such a long time. She shouldn't have asked anything, So he quickly added: "When are you leaving?"

"Early in three days' time at the latest." Bai Yutang didn't care at all: "It's my birthday in three days' time, and my sister-in-law has already sent someone over to ask if I can go back. Then, is it convenient for you?"

Ye Shulan subconsciously began to calculate the progress of casting the sword, and then nodded immediately: "There is time, there is time! For Tangtang's birthday, there must be time! You don't need to leave in three days, I will make arrangements tomorrow, and we will leave in the morning of the day after tomorrow!"

——Well, if you think about it carefully, you can really arrange the time.The meteorite iron has been hammered to the point where it is almost time to finish the forging process and start quenching and forming. It is good to take a break during this period. After all, the subsequent quenching is very important, and it is necessary to maintain sufficient energy. There is another one, the sword for Xiao Zhengming How to create a specific look has to be pondered by yourself.Besides, Tangtang's birthday will be in three days...
