Chapter 168: See Lubanmen Again

"Biaozi, today you go back to Ningxi City to take Meng Leling to the capital. I'll call her in a moment. Yao Jiani thought for a moment and said to Lei Biao.

"Yes, boss, I'll do it right away. ”

"It's going to be okay, you put me in Panjiayuan, you go and get busy with yours. Yao Jiani thought for a while that she didn't have anything to do this afternoon, so she might as well go shopping.

Panjiayuan is said to be the largest antique market in the country, and it is good to see it in the past. In fact, Yao Jiani has always pressed one thing in her heart, that is, she once found the box that contained the jade plate when she found Shan Sheng.

The box was produced thousands of years ago in the Lubanmen skills, she is very curious about this person who has inherited the skills of Lubanmen, it can be seen that the box at that time was not born for a long time, if there is no accident, the person who made this box must still be alive in the world.

"Okay. Lei Biao didn't ask too much, and dutifully sent Yao Jiani to the door of Pan's homeland.

"Boss, I'll call a little brother and ask him to come over with you later. Stopped the car, Lei Biao proposed.

"Okay, but you don't have to let him accompany me, just let him drive over and wait here, and just send me back at night. It's okay to come later, I'll probably be here for a long time. Yao Jiani thought for a while and said that she didn't want to have secrets known by people she was not familiar with, which would be very insecure.

"Okay, I'll make it clear to him when I get it. ”

"Then thank you, I'll go first, you go get busy!" Yao Jiani sincerely said thank you to Lei Biao, I have to say that this subordinate is doing a good job, Yao Jiani feels that she really can't do without this right-hand man.

Panjiayuan is actually not very big at this time, and there are not as many tourists as there are after becoming famous in later generations. Most of the people who come to play now are permanent residents of the capital, some of them are old and young people who have been left behind, there are also some old men who like these things and are ready to pick up leaks at any time, and a small number of tourists who come to play, and of course, there are some foreigners who come here to be attracted by some very exquisite Chinese unique things and are amazed again and again.

Yao Jiani's arrival alone as a little girl seemed a little different, but it was not so noticeable, because Yao Jiani had already seen several children of her age strolling around, but it looked more like they were here to play.

The open space in front of the store is full of vendors, and the stalls sell strange things. And these things are also difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

While walking and watching, Yao Jiani really saw a hawker, and he was stunned to sell a porcelain bowl that he knew was a modern high-imitation at a glance to an old man for a thousand dollars.

When the old man took out the money, he was very simple, and the expression on his face was very happy, and he thought it was a leak.

But this kind of thing can be seen here almost every day, and the things here can only be seen with a sense of vision, and the money and goods are cleared on the spot, of course, this boss will not say that he is very sure what this thing is real or something.

Yao Jiani watched while strolling, and after a while, she really received a good thing. A snuff bottle produced by the official kiln during the Kangxi period is very exquisitely made, and it may be that it is a little too new, so many people are not very sure.

Yao Jiani didn't have this scruples, she thought it was very beautiful when she saw it, and after careful inspection, she found that there was a faint spiritual power on this snuff bottle, and it looked like an old thing. Although the specific year she did not specialize in this, it is not very clear.

Yao Jiani then walked in front of the stalls, and sure enough, she saw a lot of wood carvings on a small stall in the corner, these wood carvings were very beautiful, but the carvers had obviously not reached the state of proficiency, and they still looked a little rough. But in these inconspicuous wood carvings, you will definitely see a sign that looks like an axe, and there will be a knife logo next to the axe.

Yao Jiani felt particularly surprised, if she only saw the axe, Yao Jiani would not be so surprised, but the sign of the knife actually appeared here, which is intriguing, could it be said that the inheritance of Lubanmen has not disappeared at all?

And the appearance of the axe and the knife at the same time is not in line with the characteristics of the Luban Gate! This axe and the knife have a special significance, when Lu Ban founded the sect when there was only one symbol of the axe, but after several generations, there was an apprentice who did not like these hidden weapons and other things, he preferred to carve and create works of art, and then he innovated the skills and methods of Lu Ban into the artwork, creating a branch of Lu Banmen2.

After that, the Luban Gate was divided into two parts, one part with an axe and one with a knife to make a mark, which also means that some people only make inventions with hidden weapons, and the other part creates them, and the design of many buildings is actually not unrelated to Luban Gate.

"Boss, these wood carvings are so beautiful!" Yao Jiani smiled and stepped forward to ask the vendor.

"Which one does the little girl like!" Seeing that there was business coming to the door, the boss introduced Yao Jiani very kindly.

"Look at how cute this bear is, and how beautiful this flower cluster is. "The wood carvings here may be for good sales, some of them are very suitable for the taste of the public, not very cute animals are very beautiful flowers and other things, and some may be bought by people who understand art, the works are more connotative, and the knife skills will be better.

"Boss, are you all carving these wood carvings?" asked Yao Jiani casually as she chosen.

"With my clumsy hands, how can I carve these things, these are carved by a man who rents our house, I take back his works and give him money, let him live and pay the rent, I can make a profit by selling them. The boss said with a smile.

"Boss, this business is good, right?"

"It's not bad, this person's wood carving is very beautiful, and there are many people who buy it. Speaking of this, the boss smiled, and it could be seen that he was earning well.

"Boss, I want it all. Yao Jiani didn't bother to pick these things anymore, so she got up and said.

"Really!" Apparently the boss was surprised. This little girl is too generous, she doesn't look like a rich person when she looks like she is dressed!

"Yes, boss, my guy's car is outside, can you help me get my things. ”

"Yes, of course. Saying that, the boss was very excited and began to pack up his things, and he really made a lot of money today.

"But boss, there is a small request, can you promise me?" Watching the boss pack up his things, Yao Jiani's main topic also came.

"Say it, little girl, what are you asking for!" The boss didn't care at all, it was a very happy thing to be able to help Yao Jiani.

"Boss, I'm curious about the author of these works, can I go and see him?"

"Of course, my house is not far from here, so we can go there now. The boss didn't care at all and said happily.

"There's a car outside, let's go!"

"Hey, okay. ”

Along the way, the boss was talking about the man who carved the wood carving, saying that it was called Duanmu Xing, a man who didn't like to talk, and he was still single.
