First-class Celestial Master [Rebirth]

"What is Qingsi?" Zhou Tong asked.

Su Xiuxiu said: "Love silk is a kind of thread unique to our Su family. Have you heard the story about the farmer and the crane? The farmer accidentally saved a crane. To repay the farmer, the crane became a beautiful woman and married the farmer. At night, she would turn into a crane and get up to spin silk to subsidize the family, which would reveal the secret, and the crane specifically told the farmer not to peek, but the farmer couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and peeked at the crane, and the crane spread its wings and flew away sadly."

This story is almost a household name, Zhou Tong has heard of it naturally, Su Xiuxiu will suddenly mention this, it should be the connection between the crane and Qingsi.

Su Xiuxiu pulled back her long hair and said with a smile: "At the beginning, that farmer was the ancestor of our Su family. After the crane flew away, he left behind a loom. It is said that there were tears of regret from the crane on the loom. Still taking care of the farmers. The silk thread spun by that loom is the silk of love.”

"With such a fairy fate, it's no wonder that love is so precious. That loom should be rarely used." Zhou Tong said with emotion.

Su Xiuxiu nodded and said: "Precious is precious, but love silk is precious not because looms cannot be used easily, but because there are fewer and fewer people who can weave love silk. The existing dozens of love silk are left over 100 years ago. In the past 100 years, no one has been able to weave a thread, even an inch of love thread, so it is very precious. It may not be appropriate to use it for private use."

Zhou Tong nodded in understanding, and asked again: "Then what if you don't use other silk threads? Can you embroider such a lively quilt?"

"Yes, yes." Su Xiuxiu thought about it for a while, and said to Zhou Tong honestly, "But it depends on your request. If your request is like that mandarin duck quilt, I'm afraid it won't work. The feeling is really good." It’s because Yi is much better than ordinary Fansi, and it’s a gap that cannot be bridged by craftsmanship.”

Zhou Tong asked carefully: "How far is the difference? Does Miss Su have embroidery for me to refer to?"

"Yes." Su Xiuxiu smiled sweetly, and generously took out a handkerchief from her pocket. It was embroidered with lotus flowers. The embroidery was exquisite. The lotus petals were stretched and slim, and even the water droplets on it were lifelike.

Zhou Tong praised: "Miss Su is skillful."

"It's far worse than my grandma." Su Xiuxiu smiled shyly.

After Zhou Tong looked at it carefully, he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that it can't be used, the spiritual energy is not enough."

"There's no other way." Su Xiuxiu sighed, "I'm just an ordinary person, I haven't entered the Tao, so naturally I can't use your aura." Suddenly thinking of the general method, Su Xiuxiu's eyes lit up and said, "Otherwise I will teach you You embroider, how about you embroider a quilt?"

Zhou Tong said with a smile: "It will take ten or eight years before we can learn how to do it. We can afford to wait, but Qi Wei and the others can't afford to wait."

Su Xiuxiu nodded melancholy: "Yes."

"What I'm most afraid of is that if you are not good at learning, if you can't draw a tiger and become a kind of dog, then the gain will outweigh the loss." Zhou Tong joked.

Su Xiuxiu was amused, her dimples were deep and shallow, and she said: "You are exquisite and thoughtful, if you are willing to learn, you must be very accomplished."

"Let's not talk about this." Zhou Tong changed the topic and asked, "What are the requirements for spinning love silk? Why has no one been able to spin it for so many years? Is it a skill?"

"Skills don't require much, what is needed is aura, and the most important thing is emotion." Su Xiuxiu immediately understood what Zhou Tong meant when she heard the words, and she said excitedly, "By the way, why didn't I think of it just now, instead of letting you go To learn embroidery, it’s better to try to see if you can spin love threads! Maybe you can spin love threads?”

Zhou Tong said, "Can you use the loom for me?"

"Of course." Su Xiuxiu said generously, "Use it casually, I can still take this idea. But... our Su family in Xiucheng is also a family famous for its courtyard corridors, and the scenery is not bad. You say Would Han Qiqing be interested in coming over to play?" Su Xiuxiu winked slyly at Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong couldn't help laughing, and responded to Su Xiuxiu's hint: "I'll invite Qi Qing to go with me."

Su Xiuxiu clapped her hands happily and said, "That's great, thank you Zhou Tong!"

Recently, the Han family had nothing to do, and it was rare for Zhou Tong to invite him once again. Han Qiqing agreed without asking any further questions. When he met Su Xiuxiu, Su Xiuxiu changed her previous turbulent personality and became a little reserved, just like when she met Han Qiqing. The little woman's mentality is very obvious, but it's a pity that Han Qiqing was indifferent to this piece of wood, and politely talked to Su Xiuxiu, but he didn't take a step past. Zhou Tong was screaming for Su Xiuxiu, but looking at Su Xiuxiu's appearance, it seemed that he was going to eat it Zhou Tong secretly promoted Han Qiqing a lot.

All the way from the Chu family to the Su family, the relationship between Han Qiqing and Su Xiuxiu has initially improved. At least they stopped talking about Miss Su and changed their name to Xiuxiu. The premise is that Zhou Tong also calls Su Xiuxiu that way. Once Zhou Tong changes his name, Han Qiqing will also She changed her words very cautiously, causing Su Xiuxiu to secretly give Ling Yuan a lot of eyes.

The Su family is well-known all over the world, and it is also located in an area with many waters, but unlike the Chu family, the waters of the Su family are elegant and dignified, just like every beautiful lady in the middle of the boudoir, reserved and gentle.

When Han Qiqing arrived at Su's house, he not only praised: "It's beautiful and interesting." Su Xiuxiu said proudly: "Our Su's garden is no worse than those gardens in the palace."

After a few people visited, Su Xiuxiu took them to the guest room, and that night, the loom was sent to Zhou Tong's room.

Zhou Tong was quite surprised, Su Xiuxiu saw what Zhou Tong was thinking, and said, "I also want to use this matter to drag you here for a few more days, so that I can spend more time with that log, but I can't get over it no matter what. I feel sorry for delaying your affairs with my own pass."

She uncovered the silk and satin covering the loom, revealing a simple and gray old loom. This loom looks nothing out of the ordinary, and even shows the vicissitudes of history like an antique. It can't be used, but its key parts are as if they were newly built, and the joints are as flexible as new. Su Xiuxiu turned the hand plate as if showing off, and the whole textile machine started to rotate along with it.

Su Xiuxiu said: "It's very easy to learn, I'll teach you."

After half an hour, Zhou Tong learned how to use the whole loom. Su Xiuxiu looked like she was done, clapped her hands with great reassurance, and said, "The loom is here with you, just return it to me when you're done using it." !” It doesn’t look like a family heirloom at all.

Su Xiuxiu smiled and said: "You should be busy studying this these few days. You must not have time to take Han Qiqing to play around. Han Qiqing will leave it to me. You will definitely not neglect it. What do you think?"

Zhou Tong smiled and nodded: "Okay, then Qi Qing will trouble you."

"rest assured!"

After Su Xiuxiu left, Zhou Tong began to weave. The raw materials were brought by Su Xiuxiu. There were several boxes, enough for him to study and waste. He spent the whole night on the loom. But it is not as full of aura as Qingsi, almost breaking through the surface of the silk.

Three days passed and still no progress.

One day, Zhou Tong was wondering what the problem was, when he saw the loom suddenly start moving by itself.

He stared blankly at the loom, as if he saw a vague figure of a woman in a cloud of light and shadow. The oil lamp was dim and the light was extremely dim. She was sitting in the shadow and spinning the silk thread in her hand skillfully.

Those silk threads continuously turned into exquisite love threads, shining with shimmering luster, like the stars all over the sky, covered with bright starlight.

The woman suddenly raised her head and gave Zhou Tong a gentle smile. Zhou Tong subconsciously stood up and walked to the woman, but the woman watched him getting farther and farther away. Even the dim oil lamp became difficult to find, leaving only the boundless The darkness slowly swallowed Zhou Tong bit by bit.

Zhou Tong stood in the darkness, knowing that his eyes were open but he couldn’t see clearly. The memory of the crane on the loom was disturbing the spinner’s mind. The crane’s disappointment to the farmer was like a quagmire. Pulling the user of the loom into the boundless abyss, usually the sense of being invaded by this disappointment will not be able to weave love.

Zhou Tong took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and groped according to his memory. When he touched the spinning machine with his palm, Zhou Tong began to weave slowly. He was not yet proficient in the weaving movement, but he was still weaving firmly.

The scene in front of him changed again, Zhou Tong felt very weak physically, as if a dying old man was hanging on his last breath and insisted on doing something, he was spinning silk threads in his hands, just like the woman who laughed at Yan Yan back then , except that his hands were wrinkled and freckled, his skin wrinkled and stuck together, and his white hair fell from his head and fell on the loom.

Zhou Tong continued to weave with a firm mind, and the movements of his hands were not slow at all.

"Little Crane..." The ethereal voice of the old man came from the ear, and the loom began to tremble violently uncontrollably. Zhou Tong almost couldn't hold it. The collision of emotions greatly shocked Zhou Tong's heart and soul.

At the beginning, the old man didn't intend to see through the secret of Xianhe, he just wanted to know more about this woman who suddenly brightened his life, but he did something wrong that he would regret for the rest of his life, regret filled his rest of his life, and Xianhe Her feelings are even more contradictory. She loves the farmer, but she is disappointed in him because of his betrayal, so she changes back to her original shape and leaves the farmer as a punishment, but this is also a punishment for her. She still loves the farmer. , left behind this loom.

But at the same time, it shows that the two are not firm in their relationship.

Therefore, when future generations use the loom, they will not be able to weave love threads if they are not firm in their emotional cognition. .

Zhou Tong firmly held the loom with his hand, and he continued to operate the loom. The more the loom vibrated, when Zhou Tong was about to lose his grip, a hand stretched out from the darkness and held the loom firmly. He firmly held the back of Zhou Tong's hand.

In an instant, all the illusions were broken, and the room returned to its original appearance. Ling Yuan's palm grasped Zhou Tong's palm, and the two fingers rested on the loom at the same time. Ling Yuan hugged Zhou Tong from behind. He asked in his ear, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Zhou Tong moved his wrist, and Ling Yuan also turned the loom along with his movements. Under the tacit operation of the two, the loom began to produce delicate silk threads. Those silk threads were full of aura, and the whole room was full of splendor. Again and again.

The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and the old lady stood at the door and looked at the grand scene in surprise: "Qingsi...it's Qingsi..."

Zhou Tong and Ling Yuan looked at each other and smiled, continuing to weave their precious love.

After the love silk was spun, Zhou Tong asked Su Xiuxiu how much she needed. After Su Xiuxiu ordered a few pieces, there was still a lot left. The old lady stroked the newly spun love silk and praised it full of praise: "This love silk is better than the ones stored in the box. Before my old woman died, she could still see such a good love, this life is not in vain!"

"Grandma!" Su Xiuxiu said coquettishly, "Don't talk nonsense, you will live a long life and watch my child's child grow up!"

Su Xiuxiu turned to Zhou Tong and said: "According to the rules of the Su family, if the love silk is spun, it will be yours. Zhou Tong, you are really good. I really saw the right person."

Zhou Tong divided the threads of love into two piles, one pile was the number of pieces that Su Xiuxiu ordered to sew the dragon and phoenix quilt, and the other pile was about one-third of the original, Zhou Tong said: "Xiuxiu, these are for you."

Su Xiuxiu hurriedly said, "How can this be done..."

Zhou Tong waved at her and whispered, "I'll make you a wedding dress."

Su Xiuxiu blushed, glanced at Han Qiqing shyly, and nodded politely, "Thank you, I have to work harder."

Zhou Tong encouraged: "The iron tree will bloom soon."

Qingsi was placed in Su's house, and Zhou Tong went back to City A to briefly explain the situation to Qi Wei. Although it was a pity that the dragon and phoenix sewn by Qingsi fell into the hands of Qi Wei and his wife, but their love as husband and wife can witness the birth of their love crystallization, It is also the good fortune of the dragon and phoenix quilt.

As for the remuneration, Zhou Tong only asked Qi Wei for the wages of more than 100 embroiderers who sewed the dragon and phoenix quilt, a total of more than 200 million, which was the price given by Su Xiuxiu's relatives and friends.

After Qi Wei learned about it, he was very grateful, and directly sent 500 million to Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong did not refuse, and accepted them all. When it comes to the real value of the dragon and phoenix, the 500 million is not very attractive, but it is Qi Wei's heart anyway. .

Three months later, the dragon and phoenix were sent to Zhou Tong's store as promised. Zhou Tong took them to Qi Wei's home and told him: "The "Book of Rites" says that Lin, Phoenix, Tortoise, and Dragon are called the Four Spirits. A tortoise-shaped copper stove is placed on the north side, together with this dragon and phoenix quilt, four spirits are drawn in the room, which can be used to balance the evil spirit of the unicorn. The dragon and phoenix quilt can also be used to pray for blessings, bless your family and the peace of your descendants, and be able to Help the gourd grow seeds. Before the seeds are produced, you'd better cover this dragon and phoenix quilt. Change and wash it on the same day. It's best to wash it yourself to show your sincerity. The silk threads on the quilt have aura, and it's good for you to cover it all year round. "

Qi Wei thanked Liansheng and was very grateful to Zhou Tong.

It turned out that in less than half a year, just over three months, Qi Wei's wife had the news. This time they went to the hospital to check and went directly to Zhou Tong's store to check the situation. After Zhou Tong confirmed, he laughed. He said, "Congratulations."

Qi Wei and his wife were overjoyed, and Qi Wei was so excited that he shed tears, took Zhou Tong's hand and kept thanking him frequently, sobbing uncontrollably.

After seeing off Qi Wei and his wife, the phone rang in the room, Zhou Tong answered the phone, it was Su Xiuxiu's call.

Su Xiuxiu said happily: "Zhou Tong, I have good news for you!"

"What good news?" Zhou Tong actually guessed it, and asked deliberately pretending not to know.

"Qi Qing and I are getting married. It will be the beginning of next month. The invitation will arrive soon. Go out and have a look now."

"Okay." Zhou Tong said happily, "Congratulations."

After hanging up the phone, someone knocked on the door. He was dressed like the Su family. Thinking of Su Xiuxiu's previous phone call, Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Are you here to send Xiuxiu's wedding invitation?"

"Yes." The man bowed respectfully, Zhou Tong looked behind him, and several people brought down a nanmu box, Zhou Tong asked doubtfully, "Why do you need such a big box for invitations?"

The man smiled, and after opening the box, there was a quilt with the pattern of double dragons playing with pearls inside, which was more exquisite and dazzling than the two beds they had seen before, and an invitation card was placed on the quilt.

Zhou Tong opened it and read it, then shook his head with a smile: "This girl."

Hearing the sound, Ling Yuan came out and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Su Xiuxiu is getting married."

Ling Yuan said "Oh" without interest, and his eyes fell on the quilt: "This is it?"

"She gave it to us."

"..." Ling Yuan raised his brows, his eyes changed when he watched the double dragon play with pearls, and there was a bit of longing in his eyes. The biggest problem with the bed of dragon and phoenix being given to Qi Wei was actually Ling Yuan. Ling Yuan was very reluctant. I had a little temper tantrum with him, which made Zhou Tong almost unable to get out of bed, now it's over, Ling Yuan should be happy.

That night, the double-dragon bead quilt came in handy, but it was a pity that it was almost covered under them. Ling Yuan put on the same posture as the quilt and had a good time with Zhou Tong.
