Chapter 38: The hosta
Wang Wu gasped, and the words were swallowed the edge of his mouth. Although he didn't want to admit it, his brothers were really a little too upright.
Li Chengyan thought that it was Fei Qing who said what he was going to find Lin Zhiyu with his big mouth, and turned his head to look at Fei Qing coldly.
Fei Qing was really wronged this time, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Big brother! It's really not me this time! You see, I've been following you all the morning and haven't left, so how can I have time to talk to them? ”
Li Chengyan thought about it carefully, he couldn't blame Fei Qing for everything, after all, Fei Qing was still very reliable in some serious matters.
Fei Qing didn't know that he had escaped because of this, and he didn't expect Li Chengyan to directly define chasing Lin Zhiyu as a serious matter.
"So how did you guys come along?" Things are already like this, and Li Chengyan can't say anything, but he wonders how they found them?
"The eldest lady wants to buy a congratulatory gift today, so we will run through the streets where the shops are opened one by one!" Zhang San replied humbly.
Look, you see! How poignant these sounded, I couldn't help but tear tears of sympathy for myself. Just now he followed a few people to run east and west, fortunately, the physical strength honed in the army was better, otherwise he would have been tired and paralyzed before he found the general and the eldest lady.
"Didn't I say you don't have to talk to the eldest lady today?" Li Chengyan frowned, they were disobeying military orders.
"Yes, yes, give us a break today! The brothers wanted to find a time to go to the street to have a look. Wang Wu hurriedly answered first, for fear that those people would make things more and more inexplicable.
"That's right! Let's take a look on the street, but the main thing is to protect the eldest lady, and it just happens to protect the eldest brother and the second brother. Li Si heard Wang Wu say as if they didn't care about the eldest lady and the general at all, so he immediately helped to add it.
After speaking, Li Si also glanced at Wang Wu, as if telling Wang Wu: It's okay, I'll help you replenish.
Zhang Sanyi also echoed when he heard this, "Yes, yes, yes, we mainly protect you." ”
Wang Wu didn't know what to say, obviously he had already explained first, but he was still dragged back by these brothers.
He shouldn't have come today, and if he hadn't come with him in the morning, they wouldn't have been able to find the general and the eldest lady. If you can't find the general and the eldest lady, there will be no current situation. At this point, we can only go with the flow.
“……”
Fei Qing also saw some signs, and his brother seemed to be a little stupid. It was so difficult for Wang Wu to defend them.
Li Chengyan didn't know what to say, looking at Zhang San's loyal expressions, he finally compromised for a while.
"Forget it, let's follow."
Wang Wu really didn't expect the general to let a few of them go easily, probably because these people were not the kind of people who would disobey military orders and dare to see the general's jokes.
"Big brother! Did you see the eldest lady? We searched for a long time, but all we saw was the two of you. ”
Fei Qing was speechless this time, they really didn't open any pot. The general was worried about this matter, and they dared to say it, and this time he had no choice.
However, Li Chengyan probably knows what kind of people these pro-soldiers are. It's not angry, anyway, a few more people can find a few more places.
"I've just seen it twice, but now I'm lost." Li Chengyan's face was solemn and solemn, as if he was discussing some military secrets. Who would have thought that what he said was just chasing girls.
"Why didn't you talk to the eldest lady after seeing it twice?" The brothers were more honest and straightforward, so they asked directly.
In fact, Fei Qing also wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he was embarrassed to ask, it was normal to say hello when he saw it, but the general had to pretend to meet by chance, and it was best for them to recognize him.
"Big brother! You can't do that! You won't be able to catch up with the girl in this way. Li Si also followed Zhang San and began to call big brother.
"And what do you say?" Anyway, everyone already knows, and they are all henchmen who followed their birth and death, and there is nothing to hide.
"If you want me to say that you have to take the initiative to chase the girl. You can't always expect the heavens to arrange a chance encounter for you. "Li Si is not so sensitive in other aspects, but no one can compare to him in chasing girls.
"If you see the eldest lady again in a while, you will pretend to meet by chance first. After a few pleasantries, you ask her what she is here for, and you say you are the same when he says anything. Isn't this going to be together? ”
Li Chengyan thought about it carefully, and Li Sichu's idea was quite good. "Then let's do it."
"The problem now is that the eldest lady doesn't know where to go." Fei Qing is very distressed, the solution is very good, but what if she can't find anyone?
"It just so happens that there are a lot of our brothers, so it's better to look for a few people separately. Each person is in a fixed range, and whoever finds the eldest lady in his range will come to the general. Wang Wu's IQ is still online, and he thought of the best way.
"Yes, then I'll work with Fei Qing, and the other brothers will distribute it by themselves." Li Chengyan didn't think there was anything wrong with letting a group of people who had been looking for enemy barracks on the battlefield now come to find a girl.
The few people who got the order began to work together and acted separately to find Lin Zhiyu.
Lin Zhiyu, who didn't know that he had become the target of a group of people, was still looking at the store at the head.
Lin Zhiyu listened to the boss's introduction, and listened to Lianhua's description, and if he liked it, he would take it and observe it himself.
"This is not bad, but unfortunately it is a little bit less interesting." Lin Zhiyu put down the jewelry in his hand and shook his head.
"What do you think is the difference?" The owner of the shop here has a high vision and quality, even if Lin Zhiyu has a lot of requirements, the boss is polite and very patient.
Nonsense! Lin Zhiyu looked at the most expensive models in the store, and no matter which set was sold, he could earn back half a month's profit.
Lin Zhiyu can't say anything bad, these jewelry are very exquisite, and the styles created are also novel and beautiful, but she just thinks that these faces are not suitable for the county lord of Wenzi.
Lin Zhiyu glanced over, and suddenly saw something completely different from this pile of gold, silver and jewelry.
"Boss, what's that?" Lin Zhiyu pointed to the direction of the thing he had just seen and asked the boss.
The boss turned his head and looked, "You're talking about this hosta, right?" ”
The boss walked to the counter and raised his hand to take down the box containing the hosta.
"The jade used in this hosta is different from the ordinary hosta, this hosta is the same kind of jade used in the jade seal of the country. This kind of jade is rare to see in ten years, and the amount of each mining is not very large. "This hosta is the treasure of this store, and the boss hesitated for a moment before showing it to Lin Zhiyu.
"Speaking of this hosta, originally its jade material was intended to be made a hand to dedicate to the emperor, but unfortunately it was accidentally broken in half during transportation, and the relatively intact half was called the worker to make a hosta, and the other half was broken, and he couldn't make anything, so he kept it in the warehouse and didn't move."
As soon as I thought about it, the boss felt pity. Originally, it was a thing to be given to the emperor, but now it was broken and it could only be made into a small hosta.
"Boss, can I take a look if you don't mind?" Lin Zhiyu was attracted by the hosta even if he couldn't see it clearly.
The boss gritted his teeth, and thought about it, estimating that if he didn't sell it again, he would really have to keep it as an heirloom, so he took out the hairpin and handed it to Lin Zhiyu.
"Look at it, although this hosta is broken jade, but the craftsmanship of this worker is very good, you look at this hollow carving, even the people in the palace can't carve such a detailed flower on the jade."
Lin Zhiyu took the hosta and looked at it carefully, indeed as the boss said, this jade has a cold texture on the hand, although it is just a plain hosta, but the carving on the hairpin is not ambiguous at all.
Lin Zhiyu stretched out his hand and touched the hollow carving of the hosta little by little. "It's plum blossoms?"
"Miss, what a good eyesight! But you know it as soon as you touch it. This carved is the plum blossom, the workers at that time said that this hairpin can only be carved plum blossoms, if it is other flowers will not be worthy of such a good jade. The boss nodded.
"I see! Lianhua, you come to see this hairpin. Lin Zhiyu handed the hosta to Lianhua, and asked, "Boss, you just said that you can order it here?" ”
"Yes, as long as you say the style, our workers can make it for you."
Lin Zhiyu pulled Lianhua and whispered a few words to her.
"Good! That's the way it couldn't be better! Lianhua stroked her palms and praised, and she didn't know what Lin Zhiyu said.
"Boss, please give me a banknote pen, and I'll draw it for you."
As soon as the boss heard that there was a play, he hurriedly beckoned the guy to bring paper and pencils.
"Excuse me, can you show me the broken jade left in your library?" Lin Zhiyu asked again.
The boss was a little puzzled, what else could he do if all these jades were broken? But he didn't ask, just told the guy to find it.
After the pen and paper and the broken jade were brought, Lin Zhiyu said to Lianhua, and Lianhua drew on the side. It didn't take long to draw.
"Boss, can you see if you can do this?" Lin Zhiyu took the drawn drawings and handed them to the boss.
Lin Zhiyu's operation, the boss just watched it, and he was a little dumbfounded. They can indeed make it here, but they usually look good and modify it slightly. Either they have already drawn drawings and used them to make them, and I have never seen someone like Lin Zhiyu who draws drawings by himself while looking at the style.
The boss took the drawings and took a closer look.
"Wonderful!" The boss didn't expect Lin Zhiyu to combine the styles he had in his store, and replaced the ones originally inlaid with gold and silver jewelry with broken jade, and these broken words were made into plum blossoms of different sizes according to different sizes.
Broken jade is embellished on the face, which will neither appear too heavy and complicated, nor will it feel too plain. It's still just a sketch, but the boss can imagine how beautiful it would be if it was actually done.
"How's that, can you do it?"
"Yes! Absolutely! The boss put away the drawings and continued to ask Lin Zhiyu's requirements.
"Boss, these plum blossoms carved from broken jade are also made like hostas, and they need to be carefully carved and hollowed."
"Okay, but the price might be a bit higher than normal." The boss actually just told her that I didn't increase the price indiscriminately. It's all meticulous to this extent, and the boss doesn't believe that Lin Zhiyu will be too expensive.
Sure enough, Lin Zhiyu didn't care at all, except for buying some books and pen and ink every month, she didn't have any extra expenses, and she had saved a lot of money over the years.
Subsequently, Lin Zhiyu agreed on some details with the boss. After paying the deposit and calculating the construction period, the boss kept sending Lin Zhiyu and Lianhua far away from the door.
"Miss, please come back in three days to confirm the manuscript drawn by the worker. Then we will start the official production for you, and you may have to take a look at it again during the production period. When the time comes, we will send someone to the house to inform you. What do you think? ”
"Okay, I'll come back in three days." Lin Zhiyu stopped the boss, "You don't have to send it, leave first." ”
Lin Zhiyu was satisfied, but unfortunately Li Chengyan was still looking for it in the vast sea of people.
