On the side, Guan Ming was shocked in his heart and explained: "Individual rare jade, the saint only handed over to Master Tan to carve or repair, and I have also seen two of them have the word Tan system on them, or in other words, the jade treasure Tan system has been licensed!" ”

"It turns out that Master Tan has already had a relationship with the saint, that is, boy, I am a little self-righteous!" Li Zhi bowed.

"What kind of relationship? I'm just an ordinary jade craftsman in the palace, but I'm older and deliberately cared for by the saints. For so many years, there were no more than 100 sentences of conversation before and after! ”

Li Zhi then understood his position in the palace, in fact, this is normal, there are countless skilled craftsmen of all kinds in the palace, how can the Son of Heaven know them one by one, and it is a special treatment to be fortunate to be summoned by him.

There are 3,000 beauties in the palace, and some people may not meet the emperor alone in their lives, which is the exclusive respect of the body of ten thousand people.

"However, such an expensive thing is not suitable in my dilapidated courtyard, and I want Mr. Li to find me a relatively private place, and the miniature sculpture needs to be absolutely quiet and cannot be disturbed!"

"Zhengqing Wenqitang has a vault outside Xingqing Palace, which is a huge courtyard, except for seven or eight guards, only at night will there be carriages and horses to enter, do you always see if it is feasible? Otherwise, follow me to the East Mountains, where there are even more beautiful and secluded mountain scenery! ”

"It's good to have a vault, it's close to here, and when I'm old, I love home, maybe I will rarely return here in the near future, but the distance is closer, so I can have a sense of psychological support!"

"There is no problem with your old body and bones for another few decades, but it's not that I, a half-way doctor, are talking nonsense!"

"Haha, Mr. Li is a real miracle doctor, just like Lord Shilang said, I do feel twenty years younger!"

"I'll press each one from then on..."

"Mr. Li, don't talk about silver for me, old man, I have no children and no daughters in my life, only a few apprentices are closer, and they each have a good position in the palace, what is the use of me keeping those silver!"

"From then on, I, Li Zhi, Li Zhengwen, will raise you as my own parents, what do you think of it?"

Master Tan's eyes were slightly red, and he sighed deeply, "Mr. Li, why do you know that I don't want my name to fall after the surname Tan for the rest of my life?" That's when I just want to have the surname Tan until my lifetime. If you don't lose the ability to derive offspring due to injury, you may have the idea of leaving a bloodline for the Tan family to pass on, but God wants my Tan family to be extinct, and I really don't have the face to leave a name anymore! ”

Li Zhi knew that the reason why he had no children and no daughters should be the cause of the trauma caused by the charcoal destruction of the whole village, and this kind of injury can only be healed by immortals.

Obviously, although Master Tan's personality is eccentric, he also knows the mood of taking care of others, so he turned to smile and change the topic: "In fact, Mr. Li can also feel that in terms of weight, in fact, red chalcedony is higher than citrine, but now everything is golden and yellow, so citrine comes later, regardless of its value or precious nature, it is higher than red chalcedony, because of the golden color, only the emperor in the whole Tang Dynasty can have it!" ”

Seeing the surprise on Li Zhi's face, Master Tan immediately smiled and helped him relieve his regrets, "This piece of citrine is the remaining jade, I can make a jade pendant for Mr. Li and the three ladies, and it is not hindered to wear it closely, and outsiders will not notice their existence, but they must not be leaked out!" In addition, whether it is red crystal or citrine, the carved things are not big, because their density is too high, the weight is too heavy, and it is too conspicuous to be worn! ”

"Hehe, I understand this truth, so let's move to that place now? Do you need me to prepare tools and materials for you? ”

"No need, just move the things on the table here, anyway, you will provide for me in the future!" Master Tan's mood suddenly rose.

The three of them laughed, and then Liang Ming helped the old man clean up the guys, and Li Zhi opened the courtyard door and ordered the sixth child to go to Zhengqing Wenqitang to drive a carriage.

Old Wu Tou led more than a dozen light cavalry to help Zhang Luo, and Li Zhi asked Master Tan: "Old man, do you need to flip the whole house here, or buy a few houses nearby to build a new home?" ”

"What? You don't plan to provide for me in the old age for a while? Master Tan is not blindly paranoid, but still has a more real side, "As long as you can let me see a few rare things from time to time, my old man will no longer have any needs!" That's it here, and it's a thought for yourself! ”

"Old man, how many days will it take to complete the things created for the Holy One? I'm going to go to Lishan in a few days. ”

"I understand what you mean, it can be completed in two days at most, and your white jade snuff bottles will be even simpler, you only need to carve a few a day, and you won't miss your business opening!" This thing is a priceless treasure, don't you sell each one for three hundred taels of silver? ”

Guan Ming shuddered beside him, "Okay, it turns out that I always thought that Mr. Li was black-hearted enough, and he dared to sell a second-class brocade handmade clothes for a few taels of silver, but I didn't expect that there was a more ruthless Master Tan!" ”

Master Tan laughed, "Caiwen, three hundred taels of silver sounds extremely expensive, but people who understand the market and have a lot of wealth will rush to buy it, one because of the value of its own material, and the other because of the nature of a snuff bottle." After some exchanges, he no longer called Lord Guan Ming.

"I have to add a hundred taels to the price of the old man, because it still has the word Tan system. I will let these two words be known to future generations, because what is created for the Holy One will also have these two words, and it will add a sense of dignity to it! ”

Master Tan's face straightened down, "Mr. Li, you are my nobleman, and you are also the entire Tan family and the inheritance nobleman!" ”

Li Zhi also became serious, "If you are always eye-catching, I am willing to become you and become the inheritor of the Tan family for hundreds of years!" ”

Master Tan looked stunned, and turned overjoyed, but before he spoke, Li Zhi had already knelt down in his clothes, this was the first time he knelt since he was reborn, and even the emperor of the dynasty had never been willing.

Master Tan just didn't move and agreed, Li Zhi got up again, and the old man was already in tears!

After settling the master's future residence, Li Zhi returned to the store, invited the three daughters to return again, and saluted Master Tan one by one.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else on the left and right, Li Zhi also took out the blue and black jade in one go, and sure enough, he stopped the old man's tears in time.

"Haha, it turns out that your kid still has another stock, and the rest will be taken out, don't hide it anymore!"

Qing Qiyan explained with a smile, "Master, he really doesn't have it, he found these five kinds yesterday!" ”

Only then did Master Tan withdraw his eyes that were staring at Li Zhi's hands, "Black is another quality jade, although it has not yet reached the realm of chalcedony, but with its unique and scarce color, the price will not be lower than cyan jade." This cyan jade has already shown signs of chalcedony, showing concentric layers and regular silk stripes and moss lines, and the jade itself is also in the transition from grease luster to glass luster, so its halo effect is more prominent! I suggest that the three ladies use these qualities to create jewelry, Yao Chi is not stained with dust, and the color is a treasure, which means that this near-green color and colorful effect are particularly different from the chalcedony with the crystal clear and exquisite, which makes it between the divine and the strange, and in the strict sense of the treasure of heaven and earth, it is more suitable for human accessories! ”

The three girls nodded in approval, and Shaoqing Pang Qi raised the doubts in his heart: "Master, you always say, why do these five jade states have such a huge difference in color due to different degrees of evolution?" Isn't all all living things gradual, gradually evolving, like where did their respective colors go? ”

Master Tan praised after haha, "Good question!" Cry, I know that you have a more magical perception of heaven and earth, and you should understand this principle even more: the creation of heaven and earth is the continuation of death, exquisite nine turns, and all things can be hidden! Its universe is self-controlled, and it is created by the two qi of yin and yang, and the reason for it is still in yin and yang. Yin and yang escape, yin and yang reincarnation, there is the biochemistry of all things. The universe, hundreds of millions of living beings, in order to obtain the true meaning of life, this true meaning is the truth of all things, and it is also like you, people with unique natural induction can find out, if I know the insight, will I not be a fairy? ”

No matter how young Pang Qi is, he also knows the meaning of the old man's words, and the question he asked is too profound, even this fifth-grade jade old man is also the first time to see it, and what is the difference between asking him and a blind man touching an elephant?

However, the little girl did not have a trace of shame and flushing on her face, but said with a heart: "This kind of jade is difficult to find, it is not easy to find, it is different from the commonly known legends and confusions, it can be said to be equivalent to that magical belief, their appearance is to launch endless wishes and challenges to me, cry must overcome it!" ”

Qing Qi and Yu Ran stroked their palms to cooperate with appropriate emotions, but they smiled Li Zhi very lightly, seeing that the people around the newly accepted disciples were so harmonious, Master Tan was also very pleased.

In fact, no matter which of the five kinds can be called clear and pure, and the color is uniform and pure, and it is even more rare to have excellent transparency and moisture, and there is also a fire color, only the lowest grade white jade, it is already a rare thing in the world, enough to call it a treasure!"

"Master, in this case, the price I have set at four hundred taels of silver is worth it?"

"Influenced by thousands of years of imperial culture, jade is far more valuable than gold, except that golden yellow, which symbolizes supreme power in the minds of most people. This kind of white jade, due to its unique quality and scarcity, will surely have its huge market and value-added potential. Although other varieties of colored gemstones are also popular, there are many varieties of gemstones of the same color, such as red, blue, green-purple, etc., so if you talk about appreciation space, they are not the same as this type of quality jade, and it is even more difficult to match. Four hundred taels of silver is not an exaggeration! Okay, you guys go first, and get these treasures in a hurry, my hands are itching for a long time, and you can come here tomorrow to check them out! ”

was ruthlessly dismissed by the old man, Li Zhi and the others were not embarrassed, and explained that the food was sent by someone, and several people returned to the store happily.

Qingqi had asked about the reason for apprenticeship on the road before, and at this time he couldn't help but sigh: "The old man's life is not easy, and the heart bears the weight that ordinary people can't bear. ”

Pang Qi helped Li Zhi speak, "Sister Qingqi, when you have the true qi perception in your body, you will know, like Brother Zhengwen, you can perceive the unique patterns and textures in the jade through special perception, and the concentric layered bands are different, but they are more in line with the characteristics of the original jade." It is not easy to get a truly rich artistic conception of landscape carvings, and it is even more difficult to find suitable jade, and my brother can completely use his special induction, and his skills will definitely surpass the master in the future! ”

"You little girl, you can't listen to my sister say half a word about him!" Qingqi seemed to look at Pang Cry viciously, but in exchange for Yu Ran's side!
