Chapter 51 The youngest swordsmith,
the Swordsmith, sealed Wei Yi's sword into the sword box and affixed the seal.
Prepare to hurry up and send it to the Ordnance Bureau in the capital for final inspection.
But this time, plus the time for testing there, it will take at least five or six days to get the results.
But Wei Yi was not in a hurry, he was very confident.
He could afford to wait for a few days.
Before leaving, Su He, the chief minister, led a group of officials to send Wei Yi out.
The one with a polite attitude seemed to be paying tribute to his immediate superior.
They knew very well that even if Wei Yi failed this time, he would become a fifth-grade swordsmith sooner or later in the future.
He might end up becoming a work officer at the Ordnance Bureau, and since he is so young, he has unlimited possibilities in the future.
It is natural for such a talent to form a good relationship.
Wei Yi took Du Yujiang's carriage and left the Sword Making Division.
On the way back, Du Yujiang also asked Wei Yi what his plans would be if he became a fifth-grade swordsmith.
"I won't consider becoming a work officer. I used to like the official career very much, but now the court and the capital are too complicated. I think it would be more comfortable to be a free craftsman." Wei Yi said with a smile.
He didn't want to leave Qingzhou City, and he didn't want to just give up on the connections he had finally accumulated here.
What's more, he also wants to open a wine shop and restaurant with Meng Shuilian, Guo Pixiu and the others.
"Would you like to reconsider our Wanjiang Pavilion and officially join us? As a fifth-grade swordsmith, I can directly recommend you to become the second shopkeeper. After one year, my position will be given to you. .
And joining us will not impose any special restrictions on you. Except that you can no longer cooperate with other sword shops, there is actually no big difference from the cooperation model. At the same time, you will enjoy many
generous benefits, such as those in the main pavilion. Bian will specially equip you with warriors to protect your safety, and will also help you buy a mansion and enjoy dividends every year." Du Yujiang began to win over Wei Yi again.
After all, who wouldn't want to take such a talent under his command?
"Okay, give me some time to think about it!" Wei Yi said with a smile.
In fact, he was really moved by the treatment Du Yujiang mentioned.
But in fact, just by relying on your own efforts, you can also buy a mansion in Qingzhou City and hire warriors to protect you.
But deep down, he actually doesn't want to completely tie himself to a certain force.
"But you don't have to have any psychological burden. You are free to make any choice. I, Du Yujiang, will always be your friend and will never change!" Du Yujiang said with sincere eyes.
Although what he said felt a bit like moral kidnapping.
But Wei Yi knew that Du Yujiang didn't mean that.
He has also been in contact with Du Yujiang many times, and it can be seen that he is a thoughtful and caring person at heart.
So as he said.
Even if he did not choose to join Wanjiange, he would not blame himself for this.
Seeing Wei Yi walking into the courtyard, Wei Qing immediately ran over happily.
"Brother, brother, how's it going? Is it successful?"
"It's almost the same, but the sword has been sent to the Ordnance Bureau. We have to wait for the final test results there. The results should be available in a while. !" Wei Yi said with a smile, his eyes full of confidence.
"Well, anyway, I think brother will be fine!" Wei Qingqiao said with a sweet smile.
"Brother, let me show you the sword I forged myself!" Shitou also ran over excitedly.
Holding a sword in his hand, he presented it to Wei Yi, his eyes full of anticipation.
Wei Yi took the sword, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but look surprised.
This stone was indeed made for forging iron.
He is truly gifted.
This sword is very well forged.
According to visual inspection, even if it does not reach the ninth grade, it is still considered a very good sword.
I'm afraid it's slightly better than the sword that my second uncle forged before.
Of course, this was also due to my careful teaching during this period, which taught him many valuable skills. "It's very good, Shitou. This sword is very well forged. If my brother teaches you well these days, I think you will be able to become a ninth-grade swordsmith in a while!" Wei Yi rubbed Shitou's head. , said with a smile.
"Really, really?" Shitou looked at Wei Yi in surprise.
The eyes that had looked a little dull at first suddenly became lively.
"Of course, eldest brother said that he will train you to be the youngest ninth-grade swordsmith!" Wei Yi said with certainty.
"Yeah, thank you, brother, I will definitely work hard. Later, I will make money for you to spend!" Shitou said seriously.
Hearing Shitou's words, Wei Yi smiled knowingly and felt very warm.
After experiencing so much, Shitou seemed to be slowly becoming sensible.
"Okay, you will also be the pillar of the family from now on!" Wei Yi patted Shitou on the shoulder.
"Well, with me in the future, brother won't have to work so hard!" Shitou said with a smile, and his smile had never been so bright.
He jumped up and down and ran back to the blacksmith shed and continued to practice forging swords.
"Brother, is what you just said true?" Wei Qing asked curiously.
"Of course, he is really about to become a ninth-grade swordsmith."
Hearing Wei Yi's words, Wei Qing looked at the stone in surprise, and then at Wei Yi.
But considering that Wei Yi is about to become a fifth-grade swordsmith, it seems normal to teach a ninth-grade swordsmith.
"By the way, brother, Mr. Guo came here this morning. He said that he has found a suitable brewery and the price has been negotiated. The location is not far from our home. I will discuss it with you when you come back." Wei Qingzheng Sex Road.
"It's pretty fast, okay, I know!"
Wei Yi asked the nurse to notify Guo Pixiu to come over, while he took the two nurses to Meng's house.
While passing by Xiangmanlou on the way, Wei Yi stopped and saw that the seal of Xiangmanlou had been taken off.
But the signboards and flags have been taken down, the door is closed, and it's a lonely scene.
After Wei Yi came to the Meng family residence, he met Meng Shuilian.
I also learned that Wan Zihe had come the day before yesterday, but was turned away by her.
Guo Pixiu arranged many nursing homes for the Meng family, and Wan Zihe did not dare to mess around.
He just said a harsh word and left angrily.
So now Xiangmanlou has been completely removed from the guild and can no longer operate again.
However, Meng Shuilian is not sad because she believes that Xiangmanlou will become a regular store again in the future.
It will definitely regain its former glory.
"Let's go and sit at my house. Guo Pixiu will come over soon. Let's study the brewery together!" Wei Yi said.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get some money!" Meng Shuilian ran into the house and came out again soon after.
He held a peach wood box in his hand and handed it to Wei Yi: "The recipe for Lansheng wine will be handed over to you from now on." "
Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the recipe?" Wei Yi joked.
"Anyway, our Meng family has nothing to fear losing!" Meng Shuilian said with a smile.
"If everything goes well, the rest will be harvested!" Wei Yi said.
Meng Shuilian and Wei Yi left the house together and walked towards Wei Yi's house.
Following Wei Yi, Meng Shuilian felt that the originally noisy streets seemed to have quieted down.
It was as if they were the only two people left in the whole world.
The streets that were originally bleak in the autumn wind were filled with flowers as if they were blown by the spring breeze.
