Zhou Shouhou forcibly blocked Mu Yu's outstretched hand, followed by the Hetian jade pendant in his hand, put it on his neck and said: "How can you take back the things you gave away, since you are my godson, you have to accept it, otherwise I won't recognize your ......" ”

When this Hetian jade pendant was hung on Mu Yu's neck, the old man's cloudy eyes were stunned, and he stood still in a daze, with a flash of memory in his eyes.

After a long time, he stretched out his big hand again and patted Mu Yu's shoulder, and a sigh sounded.

"Speaking of which, this piece of Hetian mutton fat jade has been with me for decades, and it was on me when I was learning jade craft!"

Hearing the old man's words, Mu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, knowing that the old man would talk about the origin of this piece of Hetian jade, after all, this Hetian jade is superior in terms of jade quality and carving, which means that it is worth a lot.

And the old man has been wearing it on his body, obviously he has never left his body, and now that it is handed over to him, it is not just a matter of money, the meaning of sustenance has long been far beyond this.

"When I was a teenager, I worked as an errand boy with my master, and at that time, I was doing chores every day, and I didn't have any child labor abuse as I am talking about now, and I had to do everything!"

Some trembling voices sounded, obviously causing the deepest memories in the old man's heart, Mu Yu listened quietly and did not interrupt the old man.

"In this way, I have been with the master for two years, but I have never carved a piece of jade, so I can only finish running errands every day, and follow the master to watch the master polish the jade when I have time. ”

"At that time, I was not the only one who followed the master, but there were also three apprentices at the same time, so I guess I am a senior brother. ”

"And then, this piece of mutton fat?"

Zhou Shouhou had already reacted at this moment, and after sitting down, he waved his hand, signaling Mu Yu to be calm and not to be impatient, and Mu Yu also diligently handed the water cup to the old man. 、

He seemed to have understood that this piece of jade represented a kind of inheritance, and he just wanted to follow the old man to learn jade carving, and at this moment he was even more interested in the story told by the old man. ，

"Among our apprentices, I am not the most talented, there is a senior brother who is the successor recognized by the master, although he is also an apprentice, he has to do some chores, but that senior brother obviously does less than our senior brothers, and is more to follow the master to see how the master carves jade. ”

"Whenever an outsider asks the master to help, the master often takes the senior brother out, and after three years of chores, he actually has no chance to do it at all. ”

"That master doesn't let him do it, and he doesn't give him a chance to learn, is it that the godfather secretly learned this craft!"

Bang!

Suddenly, the old man's hand was a little shriveled, and his big hand with thick calluses slapped Mu Yu's head.

"Stinky boy, stealing teachers is a big taboo, and our jade carving also has a school, don't look at the small jade, the same is to carve and polish a ring face, different schools have different techniques, this is a kind of inheritance, if they are all like you said stealing teachers, then wouldn't it be a mess!"

For the old man's anger, Mu Yu smiled, didn't care, and listened to the old man say again.

"Although I have not been allowed to learn the craft of jade carving for three years, how can I not have the slightest experience when I fiddle with jade every day!"

"I know, this is called the first month near the water, and the godfather has such a master-level level, which will definitely make the master treat him differently!"

"It's not!"

The old man, however, shook his head and let out a sigh.

"If you don't cut jade, you can't make a weapon!"

Immediately after reacting, he said again: "Three years later, that senior brother can already follow the master to do simple carving, and I am still doing chores until one day ......"

"What happened one day!"

Mu Yu handed over the teacup again very doggedly, and asked out loud with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Until that day, that senior brother carved a ring face, which made the master very happy, so he gathered us all together and talked about whether we would like to follow him to learn the craft of jade carving!"

Hearing this, Mu Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes, isn't this nonsense, he has been working for three years, what else can he do if he doesn't learn the craft of carving jade.

"So, the master pointed to a few pieces of jade rough on the table, and asked our master and apprentice to cut a few to show him!"

Speaking of this, a smile flashed in the old man's eyes.

"Without exception, my senior brother was the first to complete it, not only did he finish it very quickly, but he also cut the chalcedony intact and did not waste any material, and was praised by the master, and then asked him to carve the cut jade into a pendant according to his own wishes. ”

"The rest of us reluctantly polished our respective jade rough stones, and followed the master to let us also carve the expectations according to the ideas in our hearts. ”

"Then, did the godfather's method surprise the master?"

This time, the old man didn't pat Mu Yu's head, but nodded with a smile.

"Really!"

"After I cut that piece of material, I found out that it was the jade of jade!"

"Ah......h

Could it be that this Hetian jade is the legendary mutton fat jade?!

"Yes, it's this piece of jade!" Saying that, the old man stretched out his rough hand again, grabbed the Hetian pendant that was already hanging around Mu Yu's neck, and kept rubbing it.

"That time, I didn't carve the material well!"

"Then why do you still follow the master to learn how to carve jade!"

"I just carved a silhouette on this piece of jade material, and gave it to the master, saying that the craftsmanship is not good, for fear of burying the good material!"

The old man paused, and then said, "And my senior brother has carved out a pendant of Maitreya Buddha, although the technique is also a little rough, but it is decent, and the master is very satisfied!"

"Then since you have made such a good material, why didn't the master take it!"

This is different from what Mu Yu thought, after all, a piece of good Hetian jade material can be described as priceless, the teacher should take it away, the best thing is to let the old man choose a piece of jade material and re-plane.

"Boy, this is Jade Yuan!"

It is precisely because of this piece of Hetian mutton fat jade that I have the opportunity to stay with my master and learn the craft.

"It was also from that day that the master took this piece of jade away from me, and in the days that followed, he often took me out of the house, or when I was carving jade, let me observe it with me like my senior brother!"

"What about the other apprentices!"

"In the end, the master only accepted me and the senior brother to continue to learn jade carving under him. The other apprentices were told that it was not the ingredients for the bowl of rice...... The master said that not everyone is suitable for this business, understanding is of course very important, and patience is even more important to do this business!"
