After Nanfeng finished reporting, Qin Baolin asked him to go to the mayor's mansion to inquire about the news.

Seeing Nanfeng leave, Meng Xia looked up at Qin Baolin and said, "Brother Baolin, can you help me find a set of carving tools, mainly including knife saws, axes, shovels, hammers, plane knives, beveled knives, round chisels, semi-circular chisels, assorted files, and semi-circular files." If I can't find it at the moment, or if I don't have it, I can sketch it and ask a craftsman to make it. Now, though, I urgently need a carving knife and a knife saw. ”

"Meng Xia, do you want to engrave something?" Qin Baolin didn't understand why she suddenly gave in to the interest of carving.

Meng Xia nodded, and said with a serious face: "Brother Baolin, just now the south wind said that the Eight Sages King likes strange playthings, so I want to find some creativity on the ebony root just now, and personally carve something for him." ”

The idea is good, but how could the Eight Sages King take the things of a common man lightly?

Qin Baolin didn't dampen her passion, smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange someone to find you tools later." ”

"Good! Thank you Paulingo. ”

The two went back side by side, and met Meng Yang and Qin Meihua at the gate of the courtyard who were in a hurry to find someone, Qin Meihua watched them come back from outside together, first stunned for a moment, and then ran to the front of Meng Xia, "Third sister, why didn't you come out without saying a word?" Your eldest brother and I are in a hurry to go out to find you? ”

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry! I was just walking around the yard with Paulingo, and I didn't expect to worry you. Meng Xia's face was full of apologies.

Qin Baolin stepped forward and explained for Meng Xia, "Sister Hua, I asked Meng Xia to accompany me to the courtyard, don't blame her." ”

Hearing this, Qin Meihua looked at Qin Baolin in surprise, with inquiry in her eyes. How did she feel that her eldest brother had something to do with Meng Xia? If that's the case, then why didn't she find out before? Before Meng Xia got married, why didn't the eldest brother go to the Meng family to propose marriage?

Facing Qin Meihua's visit, Qin Baolin ignored it, looked at Meng Yang, and said, "Meng Yang, you and I go out to inquire about the news." ”

"Eh, okay." Meng Yang explained, and then went out with Qin Baolin.

It didn't take long for Ye Niang to drag the ebony roots into the yard with someone, "Miss in-laws, we dragged this root, do you have any other orders?" ”

"I need a carving knife and a saw." Meng Xia circled around the roots of the tree a few times, carefully observed, and carefully thought about where to take a little material from, and what to do?

"These things, the young master has already ordered, and I can send them to you soon." Ye Niang looked at Meng Xia curiously.

"Oh, that's nothing."

Qin Meihua looked at the messy tree roots in front of her, and frowned, "Third sister, what do you want this tree root for?" ”

"Sister-in-law, I'm waiting for news like this, and I'm in a hurry, so I want to pass the time." The thing has not yet been formed, and it is inconvenient for Meng Xia to say more.

"Oh, it's good to have something to pass the time, it's just that I'm so worried about my mother's situation right now." Qin Meihua's face was worried, thinking about the Wang family in Qinjia Village, and also worried about the father and son of the Meng family in prison.

Meng Xia thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll wait for the eldest brother and them to come back later, and I'll ask him to send you back first." I want to stay here for a few days, and I won't go back until my father and second brother. Mother will be left to you to take care of. ”

She wanted Qin Baolin to take her to find the Eight Sages King, whether it could be done or not, she would try it.

Qin Meihua was still worried about her body, "Third sister, I'm not at ease if you are here alone." ”

"Sister-in-law, this is your mother's house, how can you not feel at ease? I'll wait here for news from Brother Pauling, and when my father and second brother arrive, I'll go back with them. As you heard last night, things are not that simple, and I can't afford not to be there. Meng Xia persuaded.

Qin Meihua was silent for a while, then looked at her feet again, thinking that if she let the Wang family know that Meng Xia had injured her foot, it would not be good. As Meng Xia said, this is her maiden home, and with Meng Xia here, she really shouldn't worry about anything anymore.

"That's fine! We'll do that, but you'll have to promise me that you don't run around. ”

Meng Xia smiled and shrugged helplessly, "Sister-in-law, why do I look like I'm running around?" ”

"Anyway, you just need to pay attention and take care of yourself."

"Yes! Sister-in-law. ”

Qin Meihua laughed silently, reached out and nodded her forehead, "Look at you, I'm wondering if my decision was wrong?" ”

"That's right! Absolutely, yes! Meng Xia smiled and waved his hand.

Qin Meihua looked at her and showed a gentle smile. They were good friends when they were young, and they became sisters-in-law when they grew up. Now that Meng Xia is widowed at a young age, if the eldest brother is really interesting to Meng Xia, Qin Meihua thinks it is also a beautiful thing.

Breakfast has just passed.

Meng Yang came back with the news he heard, and Qin Baolin was running outside. Qin Meihua said that she and Meng Xia had decided, but Meng Yang couldn't resist them, so she agreed, borrowed the Qin family's carriage, and personally sent Qin Meihua back to the village.

Meng Xia was busy in the courtyard all day, and when it got dark, she got her things into the room and continued to tinker.

"Meng Xia, what are you doing here? I heard Ye Niang say that you didn't stop all day, and you didn't eat well. Come on, stop for a moment and have a bite to eat. After Qin Baolin returned home, he heard about Meng Xia, so he went to the kitchen and asked people to make some food.

Meng Xia didn't raise his head, and made a fuss on the roots of the carving knife in his hand.

"I'm not hungry, I've eaten."

Qin Baolin frowned, and said, "But I've been running outside all day, and I haven't eaten for a day, can I ask you to sit down with me for a meal?" ”

"Huh?" Meng Xia stopped, beckoned to look at him, and seeing the obvious tiredness on his face, he put down the carving knife, got up and walked to the clean room, "You wait for me, I'll wash the handle." ”

After she turned around, a triumphant smile appeared on Qin Baolin's face.

She's still so soft-hearted.

His gaze swept over the guest room, and suddenly, Qin Baolin's gaze stopped at the small object on the desk in front of the window. His eyes lit up, and he got up and walked briskly past it, picked up the little object, and looked at it with delight.

There are two cranes on the desk, one with the word Fu in its mouth, and the other with the word Shou in its mouth. The crane is known as a fairy bird in the Eastern Jade Dynasty and is a mascot.

Qin Baolin didn't expect that Meng Xia's carving skills had reached the realm of perfection. The pair of cranes in front of me are lifelike and full of artistic conception. He suddenly understood a little, Meng Xia wanted to borrow the crane to catch the Eight Sages King.
