Widow Zhang was stunned for a moment.

I just felt as if the air around me had changed.

From the warmth of mid-spring to the heat of summer.

As soon as he rolled his eyes, he saw the man standing behind Gu Xinyue lowering his head, looking at her as if he could drip honey in his eyes.

The cheeks were as crimson as the morning glow, revealing endless affection.

Even Widow Zhang's heart was already sinking, and she didn't feel her heart beating.

He sneered and said, "So, I want to congratulate the two of you." ”

It's an idiot, and you know what's going on when you see it like this.

Gu Xinyue's face flushed, and she turned her head with shame, but Qin Qi directly took out the last silver ingot from her purse and put it on the table, and said with a smile at the corner of her eyes and eyebrows: "This is a deposit, don't worry, we will definitely not treat the three of us badly, as long as we do it well, in addition to the salary that the girl gives you, I will reward you with another hundred taels of gold!" ”

Widow Zhang's heart is really beating like thunder!

Oh gold!

One tael of gold and ten taels of silver......

No, it's not money, it's a golden hairpin that can be used as a dowry for her daughter!

In their village, the village chief's wife has a gilded gold hairpin, and she is usually reluctant to bring it.

"I agree!" Slamming the table, Widow Zhang exclaimed.

"Mother!" But there was a cry from inside the room.

Widow Zhang looked back and saw that it was her daughter Dahua, and the anxious look on her face reminded her of something.

That's right, just wait for Lao Liu Tou to deliver the goods this time, and he will use the salary as a dowry, according to what he said, he will let Dahua marry this year!

However, a new house decoration and wedding dress of a large family are definitely not embroidered in half a year......

These two people must have come from the north to embroider those things, and if they want to embroider those things, they have to follow them, so they can't marry their daughters.

But you can't keep a big flower and marry here alone!

It's so tangled!

"Auntie!" I was stunned and opened the courtyard door with a small bag and walked in, and when I saw Widow Zhang's face was entangled, I unconsciously called out.

Thinking about who would come, Widow Zhang glared at him angrily.

She was stunned by her stunned, and quickly put the small burden in her hand on the table, and said, "I brought the things." ”

Gu Xinyue looked at Widow Zhang and then at Dahua, and then had a plan in her heart, so she didn't say much, she only took the burden of being stunned and opened it.

Depend on......

I was stunned again!

There were only four jade pieces in the baggage, the largest one was no bigger than the palm of her hand, and the smallest one was like a baby's palm.

But that piece of jade, which was like the palm of a baby's hand, was carved into a cicada lying on a half-crippled leaf on a dead branch.

The dead branches are strong, the residual leaves are withered, but the cicada is vibrant, and a pair of thin wings seem to be about to fly.

Lifelike can't describe the delicacy of this jade piece.

Compared with Mr. Bamboo's carving, although the knife technique is not as sharp as Mr. Bamboo's, it is more three-dimensional and vibrant.

The palm-sized one was carved into a cabbage, with the green one as the leaves, the white one as the gang, and the yellow one as the withered yellow outer leaves.

It's really ...... than the latest tender real cabbage

Gu Xinyue took a breath and said, "How much do you want to sell?" ”

Stunned, he scratched his head and said, "Guest, you can give a price at will, these are carved from leftovers, and I have never sold them." ”

"Never sold?" Gu Xinyue frowned slightly and said, "Then how did you practice it?" ”

To have such skills, there is no ten or twenty years of hard work that cannot come out.

Stunned, he touched his head and smiled: "When I was a child, I followed my grandfather and father in the silver building, and I got my hands on jade materials, and when I came back, I practiced with the stones in the mountain behind me." ”

The hardness of the stone is greater than that of jade, so he doesn't know how many carving knives he has damaged, and he only bought them by secretly repairing them with big flowers.

This time, it was also several carvings before I rediscovered the carving feel of the jade.

These four things can be sold by grandpa with a nod.

Gu Xinyue sighed deeply and said, "To be honest, I don't know how much price to offer you. ”

This kind of craftsmanship is no longer an ordinary craft.

"Girl, do you look at it, or five taels of silver?" Widow Zhang said tentatively.

Lao Liu Tou once said that the stunned man is extremely talented in jade carving, and since he was a child, he has been taken to carve jade by hand, but since he came back, he has never let the stunned man take over the work, and the stones and woods carved by the stunned son will also be destroyed by the old Liu Tou.

If she hadn't seen it today, she wouldn't have known that the craftsmanship of the stunned person was so good.

Lao Liu's salary for receiving the large jade carving was ten taels of silver, and it was agreed at that time that these leftovers and scraps would belong to him.

Although these four jade materials are not good, the handiwork is really good, and it should be possible to ask for half the price of Lao Liutou, right?

"Yes, my aunt is right." The stunned man hurriedly agreed.

Gu Xinyue couldn't help but shake her head and smiled: "You guys, ......"

"If it's high, you look at it, you look at it." Seeing her shaking her head, she was stunned and hurried.

"Stunned, since you have been in contact with jade a lot, you should know the price of jade." Gu Xinyue rubbed the jade cicada in her hand and said, "This is a fine green glazed jade, although it is not a jade core, these materials are worth some money." ”

His voice paused slightly, looking at the stunned face, Gu Xinyue said, "You don't know the price of jade?" ”

The stunned man shook his head and said: "I know the quality of the jade, this kind of jade is worse than mutton fat white jade, but the price of the jade is not something we can know." ”

Gu Xinyue was silent for a moment and understood......

This means that the place where they used to work would only provide raw materials for them to do things, but they would not tell them how valuable the jade was, but this is not right.

Puzzled, Gu Xinyue said: "For example, if you carve a scrap, won't you also lose money?" ”

It's impossible for Yinlou to let you carve at will, right?

The stunned man shook his head, and said with some gloom: "If the large piece is damaged, the loss is the hand, and the small piece is damaged, and the loss will be three years of white work." ”

Gu Xinyue was stunned for a moment and said, "Who is so lacking in virtue!" ”

It's just squeezing, squeezing, squeezing! If you carve a broken piece, you will have to work for three years in vain, if you don't do it......

Absolutely black shop!

The stunned expression became even darker, and said, "I don't know." ”

Since he was born, he lived with his parents in the room behind the production room, when his father carved a large piece, although it was not chopped off, but he had to work for the owner for fifteen years in vain, and there was a ration, if the ration was not enough, they would not even have food.

My father carved day and night, and when my grandfather came to him, my mother died of illness, and my father was already exhausted.

At that time, he could already carve by himself, but his father didn't let him, and his father would give him some leftovers to practice, but he would never let his finished product be seen by others, and after carving, he would be smashed by his father.

And after the grandfather came, he talked to the owner, and he took the amount left by his father, but just like his father, he didn't let his finished product be seen by others.

Two years later, the grandfather fulfilled his father's debts and took him back to his hometown, even the grandfather himself, and no longer took on the carving work.

This time, if it weren't for him marrying Dahua, I'm afraid that my grandfather would never pick up the carving knife again.
