164.
The sword is to the hero, the fat powder is to the beauty, Jiang Wanbai naturally understands his feelings, not only does he not feel that he is impolite, but he feels that he is extremely sincere, and his good impression of him has increased a few points.
"This piece of clams is not big, but it is not small, I don't know what you want to carve?" Dr. Nie played with the clam and sighed for a while, and then remembered this very important question.
"In a few days, I want to go and see Mrs. Zeng, and I want to carve a gift for her with this clams. You are more familiar with Mrs. Zeng, do you think, what should I carve? ”
"Old Madam Zeng?" Doctor Nie sighed lightly, "Since Zeng Xiaogongzi was sick, she has been eating fasting and reciting Buddha. This clams are the treasure of Buddhism, and it is best to use it to carve a string of bracelets. ”
"Bracelets. The bracelet is good, but I don't know if the size of this clams is enough? ”
"Enough, there should be a lot left." Doctor Nie laughed.
Jiang Wanbai also smiled, "Then I'll trouble you." ”
"I wish you were bothering me."
This matter was settled, Jiang Wanbai never mentioned the remuneration from beginning to end, and Doctor Nie didn't ask at all, as if neither of them cared about it.
As for whether you really don't care? For Dr. Nie, whether it is saving people or carving clams, it is his interest, so he has never thought about asking for any reward.
For Jiang Wanbai, she understands Dr. Nie's personality, so naturally she will not use silver to alienate the relationship between the two, and she is ready to reward Dr. Nie together when she gets the clams.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed. On this day, after dinner, the Tian family sat in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, and for some reason, they suddenly talked about Dong Yanyan learning to study with Tian Chengyu.
Tian Chengyu praised: "Yan Aya is really smart, she can learn everything at once, I feel that I have nothing to teach her." ”
Tian Chengyu himself is extremely smart, and he praises Dong Yanya so much, which shows that Dong Yanya is indeed very talented in reading.
"yes, Yan Aya is really smart. Yesterday, when I was settling accounts, there was one place where I couldn't figure it out, but when she looked at it, she knew what was wrong. Tian Lao Er also smiled.
"You're embarrassed to say it." Wang glanced at Tian Laoer.
"I'm embarrassed to say it. When I first started studying, I was not very bright, and after a few years of study, I only knew a few words. Now, after so many years, it's almost forgotten. Tian Lao Er said with some distress.
Speaking of this, he said as if he remembered something: "Mother, didn't you say that you want to ask for an account office, when will you invite you?" My family's business is getting better and better, and the ledgers are piling up higher, and I really can't cope with it. ”
"I've wanted to invite it for a long time, but it's so easy to invite." Jiang Wanbai was also a little distressed about this matter. Generally, experienced account rooms, all have the main family, and those who are inexperienced, please come back, it is estimated that it is similar to Tian Laoer, it is better not to invite.
"There's been a lot of going on lately, so let's take a look at it slowly. This matter is also something that can be encountered but not sought. ”
"Don't, mother. Look at it slowly, and when you look at it like this, you don't know when you're going to see it. Tian Lao Er was a little anxious.
"What then? You told me to find someone immediately, and I couldn't find it. Jiang Wanbai said helplessly.
"Can I help?" Dong Yanya suddenly interjected.
Everyone looked at her, and she hung her head a little shyly and whispered, "I'm just trying to help." ”
"I think it's a good idea." Tian Lao Er clapped his hands and said, he agreed with the methods that could get him out of the sea of suffering.
Dong Yanya's little face turned even redder, and she looked up at Jiang Wanbai.
Jiang Wanbai was a little surprised, and after thinking about it carefully, she vetoed this possibility. "Yan Aya is still young now, and it is the time to grow her body, so she can't be tired. Second, I'll settle the account room, and you hold on for a few more days. ”
This is the explanation that Jiang Wanbai said, and it is also one of the many reasons why she refused to let Dong Yanya be the bookkeeper.
"Mother......" Tian Lao Er shouted a little reluctantly.
"Don't talk about it anymore."
After that, Jiang Wanbai inquired in many ways where there was a suitable account room. But those people who came, either she didn't look down on them, or they didn't look down on her, and they never met a suitable one, but it became a big problem.
Tian Lao Er worries about the account book every day, and occasionally, Dong Yanya will come over to help him. He found that Dong Yanyan was small, but in his opinion, it was very difficult, but she handled it very easily, and she looked at ease.
Slowly, he began to hand over some accounts to her, and went about his own business, but he was also happy to be idle.
Another seven or eight days passed, and it was time to make an appointment with Dr. Nie. Early in the morning, Jiang Wanbai went to Dr. Nie's courtyard with the prepared gifts.
"Doctor Nie is early!" Jiang Wanbai said.
Today's weather is good, Dr. Nie is drying herbs in the courtyard at this time, and he is also very happy to see Jiang Wanbai, "You are also early." ”
"Isn't this thinking about the clams you carved!" Jiang Wanbai joked.
Doctor Nie smiled, invited Jiang Wanbai to sit in the room, and then went in and took out two brocade boxes. A brocade box is larger, and when I open it, it is a string of crystal clear bracelets.
The bracelet has a total of 7749 beads, each bead is the size of a soybean, white and round. Numerous beads are strung together, like a gathering of stars, shining with a special luster. It's not dazzling, but it's unusually attractive.
"This clams look good at night, in the moonlight." Doctor Nie praised it.
The clams are originally made of shells and the moon, and they absorb more moonlight than pearls. It has been buried at the bottom of the sea for hundreds of thousands of years, absorbing a lot of sea air, which can be called a treasure in the sea. Under the moon, there is a different scene of nature. Jiang Wanbai knows this.
Nodding with a smile, Jiang Wanbai went to open the second brocade box. The second brocade box was much smaller, a pendant carved into a bamboo knot. The bamboo is lifelike and the shape is realistic, and it can be seen that the craftsmanship of the carver is extraordinary.
"What is this?" Jiang Wanbai liked this pendant at first sight, so she was surprised and delighted.
"I carved this pendant for the rest of the clams. Tridacnis is very beneficial to women and people with strong fire, and it is even more beneficial to carve it into a pendant and wear it closely. "Dr. Nie is a doctor, so I can't help but think about it from the perspective of treatment.
"Doctor Nie bothered." Jiang Wanbai held the pendant, only to feel that the tentacles were warm. In the scorching summer, it is like a bay of clear spring flowing through the palm of the hand, which makes people feel refreshed, and the originally hot heart has unconsciously calmed down.
It's really a good thing, Jiang Wanbai reluctantly put the pendant back in the brocade box, and then handed the gift she prepared to Doctor Nie, "It's always bothering you, I don't know how to thank you." Small things, not respect. ”
Jiang Wanbai's gift was also placed in a brocade box.
Doctor Nie looked at the brocade box and didn't take it, but said with some annoyance: "These are just gestures." Don't say that you are the in-laws of the Zeng family, even passers-by who don't know each other, I will also help.
I used to think that you were different from everyone else, and I wanted to make friends with you, but now it seems that it's just the same.
Forget it, I'm tired too......"
"Doctor Nie, don't you want to see what's in this brocade box?" Jiang Wanbai said unhurriedly.
What is it? It's nothing more than gold, silver and jade and the like, Dr. Nie has been an imperial doctor for so many years, and these are the ones he receives the most. However, when Jiang Wanbai said this, his mind turned and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Hurriedly opened the brocade box, and sure enough, he saw a baby's fist-sized clams lying inside, and Dr. Nie stood on the spot, "This, this is for me?" ”
"Of course." Jiang Wanbai smiled and nodded. The second time the skinny monkey got it, it was the size of a pot lid, and it was not difficult to remove a piece of clams from it.
Moreover, although the clams are very valuable, they are also divided into parts. For example, the red circle of blood clams is not exchanged, but elsewhere, it is not so precious. Just like the piece that Jiang Wanbai gave to Doctor Nie, it is a piece cut from the edge of the shell, and the quality is medium, and it is not even as good as the piece in Jiang Wanbai's hand.
However, this is already very precious to Dr. Nie. With a smile on his face, he put the clam in his hand and rubbed it, he didn't know what he was thinking, and his soul wandered out of the world.
"Then I'll go back first." No one answered, so Jiang Wanbai went home by herself. She couldn't wait to put the pendant on her neck with a red rope.
I don't know how long it took for Doctor Nie to come back to his senses, and when he looked to the side, there was still Jiang Wanbai's shadow. Even the bowl of tea poured for her has been cold for I don't know how long.
A little embarrassed, but soon attracted by the clam in his hand, Doctor Nie stepped into the back room and got busy.
The Tian family knew that Jiang Wanbai was going to get the clams today, so they had been waiting at home for a long time. As soon as Jiang Wanbai entered the door, they all gathered around, vying to see the bracelet and pendant.
"Oops, it's so pretty. Before, I saw that the clams were gray and abrupt, no different from a stone, at most it was a point of penetration, a bright spot, and I thought my mother lied to me. Zhao smiled.
"When has my mother lied to someone and said that it is a baby, it is a baby." Tian Lao Er thought of the large piece of clams left in the house, and felt red and hot, this is all money, countless money.
"You still talk about me, I don't believe it, you saw something at the time." Zhao pursed his lips and teased.
"I ......" Tian Lao Er wanted to answer, but felt a little embarrassed to answer. Indeed, he didn't see that this clams were so good-looking. So he changed his words and said in a loud voice, "I don't see that you don't have to care, I just know that I believe in my mother's words." ”
"Haha......" Everyone was amused by him.
"If you don't cut jade, you can't make a weapon." Tian Chengyu got the jade pendant, touched it twice, said this, and then handed the jade pendant to Dong Yanya, "You don't always want to see the clams, that's it." Here you go. ”
Dong Yanya seemed to be very excited, her lips trembled slightly, her eyes shook, and even her voice was a lot lower, revealing such a fluctuation, "This is the clams." ”
Reaching out to take the jade pendant, she rubbed it with her index finger, her movements were gentle and loving, as if she was touching the most precious and fragile treasure in the world.
