The lotus hairpin is a hollow carving made from a whole piece of two-color jade. It features a pale yellow blooming lotus and emerald green lotus leaves, and the carving is exquisite and lifelike.
Lin Zhong took the hairpin and examined it again and again, his hands trembling with excitement. "This is the hairpin. This is the hairpin I carved more than 20 years ago."
Mu Qingcheng was not surprised at all. Instead, Madam Lin said palely, "Boss, what nonsense are you talking about? How could this be a hairpin made by you?"
How could Lin Zhong, who was already in a state of obsession, notice the hint from his wife?
"If you don't believe me, come and see. This carving is a unique skill of our Lin family. How could I be wrong? And this hairpin is..."
Lin Zhong finally reacted halfway through his speech and quickly returned the hairpin to Mu Qingcheng.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Your Excellency. I just like to study carving. The carving of your hairpin is so exquisite that I was dazzled for a moment and made a mistake, made a mistake..." After saying this, he quickly stood aside and didn't dare to speak again.
Mu Qingcheng could tell at once that he was covering up something, and she secretly rejoiced, thinking that perhaps this Lin Zhong really knew the original owner of the hairpin. It was truly as if he had thought it would come true. However, with so many people around, it wasn't the time to question him.
Mu Qingcheng suppressed her excitement and turned her gaze to the other two people. These two people must be craftsmen who are good at blacksmithing.
Wow, as soon as these two people come into view, it is impossible to ignore their existence, simply because their figures are so eye-catching.
Let's talk about the man first. He was 1.9 meters tall and stood there like a mountain, giving people a strong sense of oppression. His broad and thick shoulders were not due to obesity, but the muscles he had gained from regular weight lifting.
The clothes he was wearing seemed to have reached their limit. Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but worry that if he exerted even a little force, the clothes would be torn apart.
The woman next to the man was also a "tall person." She was over 1.7 meters tall. In an era where petite and delicate figures were generally considered beautiful, her height was definitely an anomaly.
Moreover, the woman had a rather plump figure and looked chubby. However, when she smiled, her face, which originally had a bit of fierceness and was full of flesh, revealed a simple and cute taste, forming an incredible contrast.
This is truly a perfect couple with both talent and beauty.
Mu Qingcheng looked at the two towering figures and deliberately asked, "What can you two do? Do you have any special skills?"
Both of them had awkward expressions and looked at each other. The big man's hands were almost twisted into a knot due to his awkwardness.
"We just, just, we can do blacksmithing. My husband and I are both blacksmiths... But we can work, we have plenty of strength... We can do any kind of work."
Every time the big man said something, the fat woman nodded in agreement, and every time she nodded, her whole body trembled.
Mu Qingcheng thought the fat woman was really cute and wanted to laugh: "What's your name?"
"My name is Gu Dazhuang, and this is my wife Cuihua."
Puff! Hahahaha! Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The couple stared at Mu Qingcheng with the same silly eyes, wondering what this girl was laughing at.
After Mu Qingcheng laughed, she quickly looked at another person to divert her attention.
This one was the only old man wearing a long gown. I called him an old man because Mu Qingcheng couldn't tell how old he was. He had a head full of white hair and a face full of vicissitudes of life, but he looked calm and composed, and even in his downfall, he still exuded a sense of elegance.
When Mu Qingcheng looked over, the old man also looked at her, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
He bowed to Mu Qingcheng and said, "My last name is Liang Shicheng. I'm good at repairing ancient books and scrolls. I also know a thing or two about antiques."
When Mu Qingcheng heard that he was good at repairing ancient books and scrolls, she suddenly thought of the room full of books in the inner courtyard study, as well as many calligraphy and paintings. Because they had been hanging outside for a long time, they were all covered with dust and it was impossible to tell what was painted on them.
What she wanted to know most was whether there were portraits of Yun Qing’s parents in those scrolls?
Each of these people possessed unique skills, and they had arrived at the perfect time. After introducing themselves, they stood quietly, their eyes anxiously cast towards Mu Qingcheng, waiting for her to make her decision.
Mu Qingcheng smiled slightly and said softly, "I'm sure you all must have been tired after traveling all the way. Why don't you go to the kitchen and have a meal first? After you're full, we can discuss the important matters in detail. After all, you're staying here, so we have plenty of time."
Hearing this, the few people looked at each other in astonishment. Could it be that they were left behind like this? For a moment, they were a little bit unbelievable.
Seeing them standing there in a daze with no reaction, Zipei took a step forward understandingly and led them towards the kitchen with a smile.
After everyone left, Mu Qingcheng turned to look at Zijin beside her and asked, "Have all the rooms in the backyard been tidied up?"
Zijin nodded and said, "Don't worry, young lady! Moyu has already made all the arrangements."
There were five rooms in the backyard, which was where Moyu and his friends originally lived. Later, three rooms were vacated for the craftsmen to live in. The five craftsmen, including two couples, only needed three rooms.
Mo Yu also had a kitchen built in the backyard. There was a well in the backyard, which would make it convenient for the five craftsmen to cook for themselves in the future.
Originally, Xu Laoer and the other two also lived in the backyard. Later, Feng Zhishang performed tendon reconnection surgery on them one by one, and now the three of them have moved to the small courtyard that Su Qingyan originally rented, and have hired someone to "look after" them.
The tendon reconnection surgery Feng Zhishang performed on Xu Laoer was very successful. The only thing Mu Qingcheng was not satisfied with was that Feng Zhishang's suturing technique was too poor. The wound looked like a centipede lying on the leg, which was really ugly and a bit creepy.
To this end, Mu Qingcheng even asked the embroiderers in the workshop to teach Feng Zhishang the needlework, and Feng Zhishang practiced his technique on pigskin. Later, when he performed surgery on Yang Laosan, he was able to sew very smoothly.
All three of them had surgery, and they would only know whether the surgery was successful after they recovered. Mo Xue was also looking forward to it, and every day he asked Mu Yao to push him to the courtyard to check on their recovery.
Night falls.
After dinner, the five craftsmen took a hot bath and changed into new cotton clothes. When they sat in the clean and tidy room with the iron stove lit, they still felt that everything they saw was like a dream, unbelievable.
At this time, Lin Zhong and his wife were sitting by the bed, carefully applying medicine to each other's feet. Their feet were covered with wounds of various sizes, some of which were still oozing blood, looking shocking.
Feng Zhishang specially prepared frostbite ointment for them, and they would recover in a few days.
Mu Qingcheng was worried that their injured feet would prevent them from walking normally with shoes, so she specifically instructed Zijin and Zipei to prepare a pair of soft and comfortable cotton slippers for each of them.
Madam Lin wiped away her tears while applying medicine to her husband. "Master, how could I still believe it? Is this true? Who is that Miss Mu? I'm so scared. I'm afraid she'll be implicated by us. I'm afraid we'll be sent back to exile again."
Lin Zhong grimaced in pain and said, "No matter who she is, she is more capable than us."
Lin Zhong looked around the warm room, the brand new furniture, the pile of new clothes, and the thick quilt on the bed.
His eyes were filled with tears. "Just because of how much they care about us, even if something happens one day, I will kill myself and never burden them."
After hearing this, Madam Lin started to cry: "Okay! I'll go with you."
