rub rub...
She stopped suddenly.
Eyes tightened.
The cow ghost mask in her hand was soaked with water, and the thick paint on it also melted a little during the process of being wiped by her, but...
The paint on this mask seems to be somewhat different from the paint on the snake and ghost mask.
While cleaning up his wet clothes, Bamboo Basket asked in confusion, "Miss Ji? Did I break the mask?"
"no."
"That… "
"Bamboo basket, go get me a knife."
"what?"
"hurry up."
"Oh." Bamboo basket hurriedly ran over and pulled out a small carving knife.
Ji Yunshu used a knife to scrape a little dry hard paint from the cow ghost mask and the snake ghost mask, respectively, then put them into two cups of boiling hot water, added two spoons of salt and a few drops of white wine, and slowly mixed them.
Fortunately, the pigment in ancient times was not acrylic, and it could be completely melted with salt and white wine.
Wait until all the paint has melted.
There are fine floating particles in the color in a cup.
The color in a cup is smudged like oil, and it is more viscous.
She paints all the year round, and she develops her own paints, so she has the ability to distinguish.
Ancient pigments generally come from two sources.
One is minerals!
One is a plant!
Mineral pigments are crushed and ground, and when encountering water, there will be fine particles on them, while the juice obtained after mashing vegetable pigments will be more viscous.
"So it is." She was surprised and happy.
Bamboo basket: "Miss Ji? What are you doing?"
Very curious.
Ji Yunshu strode out the door and shouted "Ziran" in the courtyard.
Shi Ziran
Hasn't he disappeared for days
Suddenly, a stone was thrown from the roof above and hit a leaf in the yard.
Then a figure descended from the eaves.
Shi Ziran held a sword in both hands, a grass in his mouth, and leaned against the big column in the corridor.
Full of ruffians!
Since Shi Zijin's death, he has become Ji Yunshu's "secret guard", but he is very incompetent.
He asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Ji Yunshu walked towards him.
"I want you to help me check..."
…
The next day, the Chamber of Commerce Festival.
Royal Palace.
Wei Yi has changed into casual clothes and is ready to leave the palace.
He was dressed in a plain robe, with a high bun, silver buttons, and two gray-white hairbands, elegant and graceful.
Not as before, today's Wei Yi is a little less youthful and a little more heroic.
The eunuch Liu Xi, who was waiting for him, said worriedly: "Your Majesty, according to slaves, don't go out of the palace today."
"Why?"
"There are too many people outside the palace today, in case..."
Wei Yi interrupted him: "I will bring Gao guards and some secret guards out of the palace together, and I will be accompanied by Jing Rong, so I will be fine."
Liu Xi opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed the words.
Continue to dress Wei Yi.
When he arrived at You Shi, he left the palace.
Wei Yi is dressed in plain clothes and does not hide his extravagance, just like the son of a big family, with a few guards by his side, who are also protected by secret guards along the way.
The day in early September was extraordinarily hot and it was getting dark very slowly! The entire capital has long been full of people, lively and bustling with people, all with smiles on their faces, the streets and alleys are decorated with lanterns, and a dazzling array of goods have been placed on both sides of the aisles. Dazzling and dizzying, the hawking of merchants and hawkers on the street
The sound is endless, and the aroma of the delicious food from all sides is mouth-watering and memorable. Various performances have begun, such as clowns playing balls, acrobatic somersaults, stacking Arhats, etc., all wonderful.
Looking around, the entire capital seemed to be swallowed up by a stream of flowing fire, and the flames were dazzling.
Wei Yi did not go directly to Prince Rong's mansion, but took people into a restaurant casually.
"A few guest officials, please." Xiao Er warmly greeted him.
Guard Gao stopped the little Er in front of Wei Yi, and asked with a serious face, "Is there a private room upstairs?"
"It's really unfortunate, it's gone, but it's very good to have a window upstairs, why not..."
Before the words were finished, the guard Gao took out a piece of silver.
And asked again: "Is there a private room?"
Xiao Er was dumbfounded and froze for a moment.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant suddenly bowed and came over, took the silver ingot with both hands, his eyes lit up, and quickly said, "Yes, yes, the private room on the second floor is just empty, a few guest officials are invited upstairs." After bumping into Xiao Er, he ordered, "Hurry up and bring the guests up."
Xiao Er led Wei Yi and others upstairs. After entering the Tianzihao room, he immediately went down. He ran to the shopkeeper who was doing the accounting behind the counter and said, "Boss, isn't the Tianzihao already set?"
The shopkeeper slapped him on the head with the ingot of silver he just received, and reprimanded: "We are in business, how can we get money without making any money?"
"But the person who set the name of Tianzi is Lord Shen!"
"You said that you have been with me for so long, but you are still an elm head, and you don't know how to change."
"Then how?"
"You go to the Shen residence and say it right now. Find any reason, just say... There is something wrong with the roof of the Tianzihao room, or any other reason."
"what… "
"Ah what? I won't go soon." The shopkeeper had a dark face.
"Oh." Little Er shrank his head, put down his things and was about to go to Shen's house.
How did they know that before they went out, the Shen family's carriage had already arrived at the door.
Shen Shangshu dismounted first, followed by his son Shen Changqin.
"Shen... sire?" Little Er was a little flustered.
As Shen Shangshu entered, he asked, "Is the arrangement upstairs ready?"
"This... Mr. Shen, it's such a coincidence that the roof of the Tianzihao room upstairs has collapsed a bit in the past two days, so..."
"It collapsed?" Shen Shangshu took a step and his face sank.
"Yes... yes." Little Er was apprehensive.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurried over and said, "Sir Shen, I'm really sorry, there is something wrong with the Tianzihao room of the small shop."
Shen Shangshu glanced upstairs and continued walking upstairs, saying, "Then just find a room."
"Shen... Sir, this..." The shopkeeper couldn't stop him.
Shen Shangshu and Shen Changqin had already gone up with the servant.
Who knew that the door of the Tianzihao room was closed, and there were four people with long swords standing outside.
Shen Shangshu understood immediately, and asked the shopkeeper who was chasing after him, "What's your explanation?"
Very loud sound!
"We... this..." The shopkeeper hesitated.
"Business people pay attention to credibility, I think... you better not open this restaurant."
"Sir, calm down, it's my fault, it's my fault, you..."
"Squeak." And the Tianzi door opened.
Come out alone.
Both Shen Shangshu and Shen Changqin recognized him. High guard
