Chapter 155 Wedding Rings
Ronghua raised an eyebrow at Shen Shixu and said, “How about I arrange a pair for you. I used to work part-time, and I was also a jewelry salesperson. I have seen a lot of styles, and I guarantee to design a pair of unique rings for the two of you.”
Shen Shixu had never had this idea before. He had thought about giving Xiao Jinyi a gift, but the gifts he thought of were all weapons or jade pendants.
He had never thought about jewelry, and even if he had, he had never thought of rings.
There is no such thing as giving a ring to someone you like in Da Gan, but he felt that if he gave Xiao Jinyi a ring and told him the meaning of the ring, Xiao Jinyi would definitely be very happy.
"You're right. Thinking back, I haven't given him anything since we got together. Then I won't go back to the Dali Temple later. I'll use this place to prepare a gift for him."
"Of course it's no problem to borrow the place, but if you don't go this afternoon, will it be considered as absenteeism? Will your boss criticize you?"
Ronghua was a little worried. If he was absent from work without reason while working in a modern company, he would not only be scolded but also have his salary deducted.
But this is ancient times, especially since Shen Shixu's job is for the government. Even though Shen Shixu's status is different now, he will probably have to pay a price.
"It's okay. The work of a senior official is quite flexible. Apart from the daily court attendance, the time to go to work is not fixed. As long as you sign in, you can leave after that.
Of course, the premise for doing this is that you don't have work on hand. If you have finished your work, you can go out for a walk or go home.
However, because I have to take care of apprentices, I am often in the Dali Temple all day long, so it is not too much for me to take a break today. ”
When Ronghua heard their work schedule, tears of envy flowed from the corners of his mouth, "Why didn't I get such a good job in my previous life? Do you think it's too late for me to go on the scientific expedition now?"
Shen Shixu patted his shoulder and said, “You can try.”
Ronghua is just a temporary enthusiasm. If you really let him take the exam, he won't be able to last more than two days.
"Forget it. I was just talking. I know myself well. I'm not good at studying, so I'd rather do business!"
Shen Shixu stood up and walked outside, “I’ll go tell your clerk and ask them to help deliver the drinks to the Dali Temple, and then go to the blacksmith shop to buy tools for making rings, and I’ll be back later.”
When Ronghua heard that he wanted to buy tools, he said, "If you want to buy tools for making rings, then you don't have to buy them, I have them here.
The first business I started was jewelry, but I later found that it was not very profitable, so I changed to another business.
I couldn't bear to throw away those tools, so they are still here. Wait a minute and I'll find them for you. ”
Ronghua pulled out a large box from under the table, brushed off the dust with his sleeve, and then opened the box, revealing a variety of tools.
Ronghua picked and chose and took out a few items, “The first thing I did was jewelry business, but jewelry business is not very good here.
Ordinary people with money will first take care of their own food and drink, keep warm in winter, and manage their family's livelihood. Few people will buy jewelry, and the most popular items they buy are probably wooden hairpins. Silver jewelry is rarely bought.
Rich families had their goods custom-made in stores and didn’t even look down on the goods on the stalls, so my stall closed after only three days.
I spent a lot of time customizing this tool, and I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I always carry it with me. It has accompanied me through most of the work!
I'm giving it to you today. If you think of it in the future, give your spouse a handmade gift. It will definitely be useful to you. ”
Shen Shixu didn't bother to be polite with him, he just wanted to make the sweet drink shop bigger and stronger, thinking of this, he went out to explain to someone, and specially ordered the counter to deliver it, he felt that this person had a flexible mind and would definitely be able to get things done.
Then he came back to make the ring. Ronghua watched him take out a few silver ingots from his purse, then set up the tools, light a candle, and turn the silver ingots into silver liquid.
Ronghua saw that he started working without even drawing a design, "Have you decided on the style so quickly?"
Shen Shixu was waiting for the silver water to cool down, “Yes, ever since you told me to make a ring, I already had the pattern of the ring in my mind, the Mobius ring, which represents eternal love.
Moreover, it is not difficult to make, which is very suitable for a novice like me. ”
"A Möbius strip? Indeed, this ring is really suitable for the two of you. It is simple and elegant, and has a good meaning. But do you know how thick your wife's fingers are? It would be embarrassing if this ring can't fit you after it's made."
Shen Shixu replied with red ears: "Of course I know, although we don't hold hands often, I still know how big his fingers are."
After the molten silver cooled, Shen Shixu poured the cooled silver block out of the mold, then picked up a small hammer and started hitting it with a clanging sound.
First shape it, then start twisting it into the shape of a Möbius strip, then take out the pliers to cut off the length that can surround Xiao Jinyi's ring finger, and then make it into a circle.
Put it on the fire, seal the last gap in the ring, and then polish it with sandpaper to make it shiny.
Then repeat the above steps to make a ring that is the same thickness as your finger.
Ronghua saw the two rings and found him a jewelry box left over from his previous business. "This is for you. Otherwise, it would be so ugly to hold two rings in your hands. This will give you a sense of ceremony."
"Thank you so much, Ronghua."
"Oh, don't be so polite, we are from the same hometown!"
Shen Shixu was happy that he had prepared a gift for Xiao Jinyi.
After Xiao Jinyi left the court, he rarely went with Shen Shixu, but went to the imperial study.
Emperor Wu An was processing memorials, and was quite surprised to see him come to the imperial study. He put down the memorials he had processed, and then looked at him with interest and said, "Don't you usually stick to Shi Xu when you go to court? Why did you suddenly separate from him today and come to see me instead?"
"I came to see you, Father, to ask you something!"
When Emperor Wu An heard what he said, he said with a sour look, "Humph, you thought of me when you had something to do, but I never saw you come to the palace to see me and your mother.
People say that a man forgets his mother after getting married. But you haven't even married yet, and you've already forgotten me and your mother. ”
Xiao Jinyi began to play the victim, "My son is 21 years old this year. People of my age are married, not to mention having children. Those who got married early even have their second child calling them dad."
