Chapter 424: Jade Garden
But then again, this one's origin is too big, and the emperor has issued a secret edict to ask the officials of Baoding Mansion to secretly protect him, if he is not a criminal now, it will not be his turn to stammer.
He hurriedly said: "Miss is really broad-minded, high-spirited and bright, the lower officials admire, admire." It's just that according to the prescribed procedures, Miss should find a guarantor in Baoding Mansion, someone is a guarantor, let's let Miss go free. He hurriedly added, "Of course, this guarantor must be found by us, and the young lady only needs to say what she wants to do and how to pass the time." ”
Guo Wenying is also thinking about how she will spend these days in Baoding Mansion, so that she has to suffocate to death when she is idle in the house every day, it is better to do things outside and breathe.
She pondered for a moment and said, "Is there a master here who carves jade?" I want to find someone to teach me the art of jade carving." ”
Lord Xu immediately cooperated: "Coincidentally, there is really a place in this Baoding Mansion, there is a place called Jade Garden, where there are many jade carving masters, and even the famous Qianjimen has disciples in it." ”
As soon as she heard about the Thousand Machine Gate, Guo Wenying suddenly felt a move in her heart, she was serious and could be regarded as a descendant of the Thousand Machine Gate, but she didn't know what the disciples of the Thousand Machine Gate were doing here?
She wanted to take a look, so she told Lord Xu to ask someone from Yuyuan to be a guarantor, but Lord Xu was a little embarrassed. smashed his mouth and said: "The head of this Yuyuan is a stubborn person, I'm afraid I may not be willing, the lower officials try their best to say that they are together, but I'm afraid that the identity of the young lady is inappropriate, and it is a place where men often go and go." ”
Guo Wenying smiled, "Then you can say that I am a man, remember not to reveal my identity." "Anyway, she has been a man longer than a woman.
Lord Xu was helpless, so he had to nod and agree, and said in his heart, Hengzhi is in Baoding, and there is also the chief soldier at the top, just send someone to watch the point, even if something happens, he is not the only one who suffers. What this living ancestor wants to do, he depends on her, he doesn't expect to be promoted to an official and get rich at this age, as long as he doesn't say bad things about him to the one in the capital, he will be Amitabha.
Lord Xu personally came forward to say yes, and the owner of the Jade Garden reluctantly agreed to guarantee the prisoner and let Guo Wenying temporarily do some chores in the garden.
Guo Wenying asked Xu Ying to rent a private house in Baoding Mansion and live there temporarily, and then changed into coarse cloth clothes. She pulled up her hair, inserted a bamboo hairpin, shook her arm energetically, and took two steps, looking really like a working young man. It's just that this little guy's face is too white.
The worst part of being a criminal is that you have to report to the yamen every day, report the day's work, and have a routine interrogation visit by the yamen, mainly to keep track of the whereabouts of the prisoners. However, Lord Xu really sent two messengers to follow Guo Wenying, not because of anything else, just to ensure the safety of this aunt.
Lord Xu deliberately concealed her identity, and the people of Yuyuan didn't know who she was, only as a prisoner escorted from Kyoto.
Early in the morning, Lord Xu personally took Guo Wenying to see the owner of Yuyuan, this master was about thirty, his face was a little yellow, he only knew that his surname was Wang, and when he sent Lord Xu away, he said to Guo Wenying: "Lord Fu Yin has specially explained, you do some suicidal work on weekdays, what do you like to do?"
Guo Wenying said that he wanted to learn to carve jade, but he didn't say much, and only asked people to take her to the jade workshop behind. Anyway, Fu Yin said that this person didn't stay here for long, and he left in ten days and a half months, and he didn't bother to ask too much.
This is Guo Wenying's first time in the jade workshop, but there is really a refreshing feeling, she has had the idea of opening a factory in Nanqi before, so she looks at some polished and divided utensils very carefully.
She suddenly saw a disc-shaped thing, installed a disc on a horizontal axis, and then attached the belt on the shaft wrapped around one side of the disc to the foot pedal respectively, the craftsman stepped on the foot pedal with ** for the ground, and the shaft rotated, and the rotating sub drove the disc called the stone to rotate at the same time, at this time, as long as the sand substances such as water Hull quartz sand were added to the disc, the jade could be processed by friction.
Feeling curious, he looked down for a while, and suddenly someone behind him whispered, "That's a stone." ”
Guo Wenying only saw that this thing was a tool that used simple mechanical principles to rotate, and how to achieve the cutting and processing of jade, and really didn't know what this thing was called.
She turned around and saw that the man was a young man of twenty-three or fourteen years old, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, with slightly rough facial features, and a little heroic.
The man looked at her and couldn't help laughing, "What does this mean that the little brother is also an expert, and the little brother has a surname?"
Guo Wenying reported his name, and the man claimed that his surname was Liang Ruoyu and that he was a carving master.
Guo Wenying was trying to find a carving master, but it was also a coincidence, so he sat down with him to study how to carve jade. The two of them felt very speculative after chatting, talking about the jade carving to the mechanism, and then talking about how to improve the existing cutting tools.
She really didn't expect that this person was also an expert in the organ, and when she talked about the organ, the whole person became radiant, and her eyes were wrong.
Guo Wenying secretly said in her heart, Lord Xu said that the person from the Qianjimen in the Jade Garden, isn't this the person? She deliberately tried it, so she used a few secret words, and Liang Ruoyu was stunned when she heard it, "Brother, aren't you also from the Qianjimen?"
Guo Wenying said with a smile: "It's just a branch of the Qianji Gate, and it can't compare to the serious background of Brother Tai." ”
Who knew that Liang Ruoyu actually snorted, "What a serious background, the current organ door is not as good as a small faction without a portal." ”
Guo Wenying asked a few words, and probably knew that this person was very unhappy in the organ gate, otherwise he would not have been reduced to being a jade carving master in a workshop. The organ door offended her a lot, especially Bai Yusheng and Wei Qi and others, who wanted to kill her several times, she couldn't get out of the palace before, and she didn't have her hands free, and after she returned to Beijing, the first thing she did was to settle the previous accounts with Bai Yusheng.
Now that the door is in chaos, what is needed is someone like Liang Ruoyu who has an upright personality and real talents. She intended to make friends, so she comforted him a few words, and talked about the Kyoto Hundred Crafts Competition a few days ago.
At the mention of the Hundred Crafts Competition, Liang Ruoyu suddenly became even more angry, in the past, the disciples with the most exquisite skills and the most innovative consciousness were selected from the door to participate in the competition, but since Bai Yusheng became the master of the door, he has been interested in cultivating his own people, only his disciples can participate, and the rest is not to think about it.
Guo Wenying said secretly, no wonder the thousands of disciples of the Hundred Crafts Competition have nothing new to come out with in addition to being inferior and despicable, it turns out that this is the reason.
