"You know. Xu Wen said firmly.

He glanced at the half-opened jadeite, put it aside, and said to Boss Meng.

He bought the rough as an experiment, not really expecting anything to come out of it. But to be honest, he was happy to see that the jadeite could be cut out so quickly.

Value is one thing, and a person will always be in a good mood when they find themselves lucky.

But after that moment of surprise, he realized that something was wrong.

This is the Hpakant rough stone, one of the most prone to jadeite among all the old pit rough stones.

Although it had obviously been cut open, only half of it was left, the remaining half was also the size of a head, and there was no reason why it hadn't been cut all open.

And Boss Meng's tone just now was obviously to induce him to believe that there was nothing in these rough stones.

He only met him for the first time today, and he hadn't heard of it before, he was a complete stranger, why did he give him such a piece of jadeite?

But when Xu Wen turned his head and saw his expression, he became more and more sure that he did know that this jade was indeed given by him for free!

Why did he do it?

Boss Meng stared at his face tightly, not letting go of any of his expressions.

He asked suspiciously, "Aren't you happy about a windfall from heaven?"

"Ice Seed Floating Flower, if it is finished, it will be at least the size of a fist, and it should be worth a lot of money, it is indeed very happy. Xu Wen said this with a smile, but his eyes were calm and very calm.

"The fist-sized ice seed floating flower, if you sell it directly, it will cost at least 1.2 million, and after cutting it into jewelry, the price will rise. Boss Meng prompted.

In this way, Xu Wen is even more strange.

1.2 million things, just send them?

"I don't understand what you mean. Xu Wen thought for a moment and said bluntly, "We don't know each other, since you know that there is a mine here, why don't you open it yourself?"

"Mine, you mean the jade inside?" Boss Meng was stunned.

"Jade mine, isn't that right?" Xu asked confusedly.

"I know you have a master, do you mind adding another master?" Boss Meng completely ignored his question and suddenly asked again.

"Huh?" Xu Wen didn't expect his move at all, his voice paused, and his mouth opened wide in surprise.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Meng Ping, the twenty-seventh generation descendant of Meng's stone carving. Meng's stone carving has been inherited from the Ming Dynasty to the present, and it is known as one of the seven unique gardens in the Ming Dynasty. I have no wife, no children, no heirs, if you worship me as a teacher, my craftsmanship and this stone factory will be all for you!" Boss Meng said a series of words, loudly.

"Huh?" This happened so suddenly, Xu Wen didn't react at all, and only asked after a while, "Don't you have a nephew?

"He can't do it, his heart is uncertain, and he can't inherit the Meng family's stone carving. "Boss Meng is categorical.

"The mind is uncertain..."Xu Wen subconsciously glanced at the rough stones.

To be honest, when he asked this question, he subconsciously thought that the reason why Boss Meng was looking for another successor was because it was a "nephew", not a "nephew".

It is the habit of many artisan families to pass on men but not women.

The nephew is the son of a sister and already has a different surname, so of course it is not considered.

But when he thought about it, he knew something was wrong.

is also a different surname, he Xu Wen is an outsider at all, and his relatives are not as close as his nephew.

Then when he heard the word "heart", he remembered that Boss Meng sold him the rough stones that could be used to produce jadeite cheaply, and Xu Wen guessed a little why he did this.

This is a test, and it is his heart that is tested.

When you see a windfall from the sky, you are overjoyed, and you can see the jade beyond everything around you, which is definitely not good.

In that case, Boss Meng would probably send him away immediately, and he wouldn't look at him again, and now ......

"What are your requirements for choosing an apprentice?" asked Xu Wen.

"First of all, you have to be good at this, and you have to be focused and serious. Meng Ping said, "Actually, you and I are generally satisfied, a little too clever." Isn't it normal for a rough stone to bloom jadeite? You can just put it aside and go about your own thing. Did I arrange it, what's the big deal?"

Saying that he was dissatisfied, he sighed again, "But there are few people like you, okay, so be it." ”

Xu Wen did not speak. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't worship you as a teacher. ”

"Why?" Meng Ping was still saying that Xu Wen was not perfect just now, but now when he heard this, he immediately became anxious again.

"I've already had a teacher. Xu asked.

"It doesn't matter if I say it! Everyone has his own craft, what does it matter if he teaches him and I teach mine? Or does he not let him? Where he is, I'll tell him!" Meng Ping said repeatedly, very anxious.

"He didn't say no, but I didn't want to. My master is the only one. Xu Wen said seriously.

Indeed, Lian Tianqing is such a person. He doesn't have a gateway view, and what he teaches Xu Wen can be taught to others casually, and he doesn't mind Xu Wen finding another master to learn something new.

Judging from some current rumors, Lian Tian tried all kinds of ways when he was young, or stole or cheated or repeated his apprenticeship incognito, and he also learned a lot of things, so he accumulated the ability of half-step heavenly work.

If Xu Wen wanted to do this, he would definitely not object.

But deep down in Xu Wen's heart, there was a voice preventing him from doing so.

He had no father or mother, and his parents in the other world had never met, nor had they asked anyone to bring a letter to him to go back and see him.

Lian Tianqing and Lian Linlin are his only relatives.

The word Master had something else to mean to him, and he didn't want to hand it over casually.

"It's just a teacher, what's there!" Meng Ping said angrily.

"If you don't mind it, you won't have found a successor by now. Xu asked.

Meng Ping was speechless.

He is sixty-four years old this year, and although modern people have lived a long time, he is also a serious old man, and he can start to look back on his life.

In his more than sixty years of life, he really has never met a young man who can be accepted as a disciple by his will?

Of course not, it's nothing more than missing out.

When he was young, he was still a dead brain, thinking that the craftsmanship of the Meng family should be passed on to the Meng family.

As a result, he seems to have a bit of a wife in his life, married two wives and died, and when he was in his forties, he was still a widower with no children and no daughters.

After the age of forty-five, he was a little anxious, and he didn't care about the family rules of passing on men and women, so he turned his target to his nephew, and discussed with his sister to take him with him to train him.

As a result, this kid's heart is too uncertain, and he began to wave outside with a little ability, and then he became obsessed with gambling stones, and bought the rough stone several times in a row, the more he bought, the more expensive it became, and he was cheated, and he lost his crotch almost off.

Meng Ping filled in the curtains for him several times, becoming more and more dissatisfied with him, and the last time, his nephew spent a lot of money to buy these old pit rough stones back, Meng Ping watched coldly and watched him cut.

What kind of vision does Meng Ping have, he touches it and sees if there is any jade in these rough stones, and he can probably see it from any position.

As a result, his nephew was impatient to get started, wanting to cut it but afraid of hurting the jade meat, and finally cut it in half, perfectly staggering the position of all the jadeite.

At this time, Meng Ping taunted beside him, and he angrily threw down the jade rough and went to the seller to settle the account.

At this point, Meng Ping was completely disappointed in him and completely gave up the idea of continuing to cultivate him.

As a result, after giving up, he still failed to find a suitable candidate, gradually, after seeing sixty, he was about to be sixty-five, the apprentice was not found, the Meng family's stunt was about to be lost, and Meng Ping was really a little anxious......

"Yes, you're right. Meng Ping sighed, his face showing some old age.

After a while, he regained his spirits, "You went to school, right? There are many teachers, right? So, if you call me a teacher, I will pass on the craft to you!"

Xu Wen didn't know what to say. He realized once again that it was not easy to apprentice in these years, and it was really difficult to accept apprentices......
