"Ouyezi!"
Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but get excited when he heard the name.
This Ou Yezi was no ordinary person. He was a master swordsmith in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Five of the top ten famous swords in China were forged by him, and two of the other five were forged by his daughter and son-in-law.
His daughter and son-in-law are Mo Xie, the master mage general in the middle. Even if he is a witch, he will be stabbed to death accidentally.
Of course, in addition to his daughter and son-in-law, Ou Yezi also had a disciple named Xue Zhu, who was a famous swordsman.
It's hard to live up to his reputation. As a disciple of Ou Yezi, even if Xue Zhu's sword-making skills are not as good as Ou Yezi's, he probably won't be too far behind.
Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows, "You also know Ou Yezi?"
Jiang Yifeng was speechless, "Xuexue, I am also a scholar after all. How could I not know about such a famous swordsmith?"
Su Yingxue smiled and teased, "Maybe it's because you are so reckless in what you do, and I almost forgot that you are a scholar."
You're making fun of me, right?
Believe it or not, I can pry your mouth open with my tongue?
Jiang Yifeng didn't have the same knowledge as Su Yingxue, so he asked instead, "Does Ou Yezi have a disciple named Xue Zhu?"
"yes!"
"Then where is Xue Zhu's family?"
"The Xue family is in the royal capital, Luoyi, but if you want to ask the Xue family to help you make swords, you probably won't be able to do it."
"Why?"
Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but frown.
Su Yingxue explained: "The Xue family has always been appreciated by the emperor because of Ou Yezi's reputation. It is responsible for forging weapons for the army. It is considered the richest family in the Zhou Dynasty. It is almost impossible to hire someone with good sword-making skills from the Xue family."
really……
Whether in the past life or in this life, the most profitable business must involve arms.
Jiang Yifeng was like a deflated rubber ball, and asked helplessly: "If we can't ask the Xue family's sword-making masters, is there any other way?"
Su Yingxue frowned slightly, "Didn't I say that you can find Ou Yezi by any means, he is the best swordsmith."
Jiang Yifeng exclaimed, "You...what do you mean? Ou Yezi is still alive?"
Su Ying rolled her eyes and said, "This is not nonsense. Ou Yezi is not yet sixty years old. Although he is already very old, there is a high probability that he is still alive."
Damn it!
Ou Yezi is different from the historical records of his previous life.
According to the eight hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the current Great Zhou Dynasty belongs to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which is the late Warring States period.
But the Ou Yezi in his previous life was actually from the late Spring and Autumn Period, more than 250 years ago.
As a result, Ou Yezi in this world was less than sixty years old, a full two hundred years late.
However, when he thought that he might see Ou Yezi, Jiang Yifeng became excited and asked quickly: "Do you know where Ou Yezi is?"
"I don't know about that."
Su Yingxue shook her head lightly, "Ou Yezi began to travel around the world ten years ago. Some people saw him in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and some said they saw him in uncivilized wilderness. There is no accurate information."
Jiang Yifeng was speechless. "The Xue family can't help but Ou Yezi can't find anyone. Xuexue, when did you start to be unreliable?"
Su Yingxue smiled sweetly and said: "This is the most reliable one I can think of. Other more famous swordsmiths can't catch your eye at all."
"Right."
Jiang Yifeng curled his lips and said, "Now that it's here, let's make peace with it!"
…
On the third day after that, when Jiang Yifeng was planning to go to Meishan to see Zhong Bugui's progress, Shishi came over and said that Gongshujia was willing to see him.
When Jiang Yifeng heard this, he was so angry that he cursed his mother on the spot.
After all, he had asked Shishi to finance the public losers before, but he didn't expect that he, the main sponsor, would make an appointment three days in advance to meet them.
Mudd!
Give them face.
Jiang Yifeng was so angry that he and Shishi got into the carriage and headed to Gongshujia.
The public losers do not live in the city. They live in the suburbs about ten miles away from Suzhou City, where there is a large bamboo forest.
The public loser lives in this bamboo forest.
According to Shishi, this bamboo forest was planted by the Gongshu family, and there were many traps inside. If you entered the bamboo forest without the Gongshu family's permission, you would basically never return.
Fortunately, Jiang Yifeng made an appointment three days in advance, and Gongshujia specially sent someone to greet him at the entrance of the bamboo forest to welcome him into Gongshujia.
What greeted him was a boy of about eight years old.
The boy, like the rest of the public loser, had a very arrogant attitude. If his height hadn't allowed him, this little guy would have liked to use his nostrils to look at people.
The boy got on the carriage and said in a childish tone: "If you don't want to die, just follow my instructions. Otherwise, don't blame me if you die."
As soon as he said this, the driver was so frightened that he kept nodding.
After the carriage started moving again, Jiang Yifeng asked: "Kid, what's your name?"
The boy glanced at Jiang Yifeng and said with a nonchalant look, "Gongshu Dan, you can call me Master Dan, the future head of the Gongshu family."
Jiang Yifeng was not angry either, his face was full of admiration, "So you are Master Dan. I have admired you for a long time. I didn't expect to finally see you today."
Gong Shudan was a child after all. When he heard Jiang Yifeng flattering him, he quickly asked: "Am I already so famous? Have you even heard of me?"
"Of course."
With a sincere expression on his face, Jiang Yifeng said seriously: "There are rumors outside that Master Dan's talent in craftsmanship is not inferior to that of his ancestor Gong Shu. They also say that your current craftsmanship has surpassed that of your father. By the way, is your grandfather still good at craftsmanship?" Alive?"
Gongshudan nodded, "Still alive."
Jiang Yifeng praised Gong Shudan very highly, "That's even better than your grandfather. Anyway, among you Gong Shudan, you are the most powerful. They all say that God doesn't create Gong Shudan, and skilled craftsmen are like the eternal night."
Hearing this, Gong Shudan's eyes lit up and he felt that Jiang Yifeng was his confidant.
Especially the sentence "God does not give birth to public and loses the day, and skilled craftsmen are as long as the night", it simply spoke to his heart.
He also felt that his father and uncle's skills were average, and even his grandfather was only slightly ahead of him.
Jiang Yifeng suddenly lowered his voice, "When your father taught you, did he scold you?"
Gongshudan pouted and replied: "How could I not reprimand him? The thing I made yesterday was smashed by him."
"That's because your father is jealous of you."
Jiang Yifeng paused and continued: "Think about it, your skills have surpassed everyone in the Gongshu family. After your grandfather passes away, who should the position of the head of the family be given to?"
"For my father, of course."
"Of course not... I think craftsmanship is a very sacred profession. It is too unfair to pass down the position of the head of the family through the death of father and son. Those who should be masters should be teachers. Whoever has good craftsman skills will become the next head of the family."
Gong Shudan's eyes lit up, "What you said makes sense. After my grandfather dies, the position of head of the family should be given to me."
Looking at Gong Shudan who had been deceived by him, Jiang Yifeng raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He just likes to communicate with children, he is childlike and easy to deceive.
