Chapter 4 The Horse Stumbled

The sky is blue, the clouds are light, and the wind is light, and it is another sunny day.

The gentle spring breeze blows on Dengzhou City, and the streets are full of bustling people, a bustling scene. It seems that the people who have been holding on for a winter at home are all competing to take to the streets to get some breath during this spring season.

Ji Hao was wearing a royal blue satin robe and holding a gold-patterned folding fan with purple bamboo bone handles. He walked on the rushing Bauhinia Street with three steps.

This satin woven robe was given to him by Miss Yueqiao the day before yesterday, and she was dressed very well.

I don’t know why Yun Zhuxuan has many men in clothes?!

Yun Zhuxuan's top girl Yue Qiao just casually looked at Ji Hao's figure a few times, and then picked him this royal blue satin robe. It seems that she is very accurate in the figure of a man, perhaps it is an experience summarized by "long-standing battle"!

Ji Hao, who leaned on his clothes and horses, leaned on his saddle, immediately felt that he was clearly a handsome young man from the turbid world, with a graceful and elegant appearance, and no longer the same day before yesterday, wearing only a garment and feeling sad and anxious when he was hungry.

Yesterday he was a little depressed, but when Wang Fugui talked about the appearance of the red and black glass, it was very consistent with the characteristics of glass in later generations. He couldn't help but feel from shady to sunny, and he was leisurely and proud.

When you feel better, the things in your eyes will naturally become better.

Hey, I didn’t find so many beauties on the streets in Dengzhou City before.

Alas, that little girl wearing a goose yellow double-breasted bun is pretty good, she has a little bit of a jasper!

There is also the beauty wearing a green water and wide sleeves shirt, which is also very charming. Damn, the look of this young master is so charming! Fairy, you keep firing at me. Do you want to seduce me? Isn’t that casual person?

Wow, don’t discharge the electricity anymore, let me tell you, I’m not a human being when I get up casually...

While admiring ancient beauties, Ji Hao was looking for the antique shop called Zhenbaofang that Wang Fugui said.

...

In the middle of Zijing Street, Ji Hao found the antique shop called "Zhenbaofang" that Wang Fugui said.

Wang Fugui was indeed right. Ji Hao found a few pieces of glass here. He couldn't help but feel very grateful to Comrade Wang Fugui for his extensive knowledge.

These glasses are a little green, and Ji Hao remembers that it seems that the iron oxide in them has not been removed. The technology of this era seems to be unable to create pure glass as pure as later generations, so he can only use it!

Ji Hao asked the shopkeeper of the antique shop, "Where did this red-branded glass come from? Is there any?!" He planned to make a fortune by making a mirror, so he was very concerned about the supply of raw materials.

The shopkeeper of the antique shop spread his hands and said, "It's all here, just that. This thing is useless. There is basically no one in Dengzhou. It's very fragile and the boats are unwilling to take it." After a pause, he said, "To be honest, these five pieces of red-branded glass were originally a small glass fish tank, which I only entered in for a rare purpose. I thought that the red-branded glass fish tank was transparent all over, and it was quite interesting to raise fish. Maybe it could be sold at a high price. Unexpectedly, after being left for a few years, the glue on all sides was opened and it was not sold. I could only dismantle it here. Today, the young master likes it and is destined to give it to the young master."

As for where this glass came from, the antique shop owner didn't say anything.

Ji Hao didn't have to ask any more now. In fact, there was no need to think about it, and he knew that this antique shop must have some connection with those maritime merchants. The Ming Dynasty prohibited private overseas trade, but it could not be completely banned. Although everyone knew this, it could not be said in public.

There must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain. Ji Hao feels that it will not be too late to find a way to contact these maritime merchants to get some glass when they arrive.

Ji Hao and the antique shop owner paid a price of three taels of silver to buy the five pieces of glass. He gave the shop owner another two taels of silver, asking him to find someone to cut the glass into a circle and put it in gold. He will come and take it again tomorrow.

These treasure shops are also merchandise. There are merchandise masters who know how to make porcelain in the store. They have diamonds in their hands, which can be used to cut glass.

Since you have to be more high-end when making mirrors, Ji Hao plans to take the high-end route, so he asked the shopkeeper to find someone to inlaid with gold edges.

…………

Ji Hao, who came out of Zhenbaofang, was in a good mood. After finishing his business, he naturally had leisure. He shook the gold-patterned folding fan with purple bamboo bone handle in his hand and watched around the road, enjoying the original Ming Dynasty style while walking.

Not long after walking away, a Japanese knife on the stall in front of an antique shop attracted Ji Hao's interest. Later generations have always heard that Japanese knife is sharp, but he has never seen any real licensed goods except seeing them in the museum through glass.

Ji Hao walked to the stall, inserted the gold-patterned folding fan in his hand with the purple bamboo bone handle to the back of his neck, and picked up the Japanese knife and played with it.

The scabbard of this Japanese sword was made of green shark skin and was a little worn. He raised his hand to pull out the Japanese sword. The blade was three feet long and shone with a light blue light. It seemed that he had drunk too little blood.

Originally, Ji Hao thought that this store was like the Zhenbaofang, and had some connection with maritime merchants, and they bought goods from them.

Seeing that this knife was not a new knife, Ji Hao felt that his guess was wrong. This Japanese knife might have been seized from the Japanese pirates who came to the coast of Dengzhou.

The shopkeeper of this antique shop is a thin old man with a goatee. He was bored and napping behind the counter. Seeing a young man with brocade robe at the door, he couldn't help but feel energetic and hurriedly came over.

? "'The way of Kunyi is far away and no longer opens. Who can cut jade in the world? The treasure sword is close to the Kingdom of Japan, and Yue Jia got it from the east of the sea.

The fish skin is equipped with fragrant wood sheaths, yellow and white mixed with yellow and white crocks and copper. A hundred golds are introduced into the good hands. I admire the evil spirits.’ The Japanese sword is forged with steel, and it is tempered for thousands of times, and it is sharp. Why, is the young master interested in this sword?"

Ji Hao rolled his eyes. These antiques sellers like to write at any time. He didn't seem to understand a single poem about goatee, but he probably praised this good knife.

"How much money do you sell for this knife?"

"Fifty taels, this is a treasure knife that cuts iron like mud."

"It turns out that the sword is true, but your sword is useless. Look at the sword that has two gaps. This Japanese sword is made of Baosteel. Once damaged, it cannot be repaired. Moreover, this Japanese sword needs to be polished regularly by special whetstones to remain sharp. You haven't been sharpened for a long time, right? You see, this blade is blunt. Also, this Japanese sword needs to be wiped and maintained with vegetable oil every day. You're afraid that you haven't maintained it at all? You see, the blade has begun to rust. So, this knife is not worth anything at all."

The goatee originally thought that a "Yang Hu" had come, and wanted to fool him and try to get a lucky start. Unexpectedly, this young master who looks like a scholar turned out to be an expert.

"Haha, my master is really knowledgeable. There are not many scholars who know how to use Japanese swords these days. If you sell goods, please give it a price. If the price is right, I will give it to you evenly!"

Even if literati buy weapons to decorate their shops, they always wear swords. After all, swords are gentlemen among soldiers. As the king of soldiers, swords are too domineering and inconsistent with the temperament of scholars. As for the people in the martial arts world, they will not buy such swords. This Japanese sword has not been trained for several years and is not easy to do.

Therefore, the Japanese knife was left in the store for a long time and no one cared about it. The goatee had wanted to deal with it for a long time and did not treat him as a valuable thing, so he threw it at the stall at the door, hoping that someone would buy it in a rare way.

Ji Hao waved the Japanese sword a few times, and asked, "This Japanese sword is not a controlled knife in the Ming Dynasty, right? Uh, is it illegal for me to buy this knife?"

"Young Master is joking. Our Ming Dynasty prohibits the private hiding of crossbows, armor and long weapons among the people, but this sword cannot help but be. Of course, the premise is that you should not use this knife to chop people. If you use it to chop people, it will definitely be illegal."

Ji Hao actually never thought about buying this Japanese knife, just to play with it, and to talk to the goat beard to learn more about the Ming Dynasty. He didn't even find a good meal in the Ming Dynasty, so he didn't have any spare money to buy a toy. The dozen taels of silver on him are still useful.

Ji Hao waved the Japanese sword a few casually and said with a smile: "If I don't chop people, what's the use of this knife? Is it used to chop wood? Cutting wood, this knife is too light, so how can it be more useful as an axe..."

"Uh..." The goatee stopped and didn't know how to answer this.

At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed on the street: "Oh, be careful..."

Before Ji Hao understood what was going on, he saw a snow-white tall horse running towards him...

The galloping white horse was like a derailed train, with an amazing speed. Ji Hao didn't have time to have any thoughts, but subconsciously raised his arm to protect his chest.

Just as the white horse and Ji Hao collided with lightning, the knight on the horse suddenly stepped on his reins, and the white horse stood up in front of him.

Ji Hao raised his hand to protect his chest, which was a subconscious action. He didn't have time to think about how effective this action could be. He had long forgotten that he was holding a Japanese knife in his hand...

Two "hissing" sounds, the white horse's two front legs were cut from the calf by a Japanese knife, and blood splattered.

The two front hooves of the white horse disappeared.

The white horse made an extremely painful neigh, and then fell to the ground with a bang, smashing the dust on the ground...
