The First Strange World (10)

Master Zhao had white hair and a snow-white goatee on his chin, and when he saw Su San being so polite, he didn't answer, but smiled at Bai Qi first: "Seventh Prince, are you here too?" ”

Bai Qi hurriedly moved his gaze back from the jade billet and said, "I've been here for a while, and I'm about to go to the backyard to see you coming, but the matter ahead is not over, and I haven't walked away." ”

Master Zhao is not as good as the shopkeeper Yu, all these people who rely on their true skills and eat handicraft meals are somewhat arrogant, and they are all people with real skills, like Su Sanxuesi, a little girl like Su Sanxuesi, just now I heard Ah Shun say that they were making trouble in front, and they ignored them even more.

Seeing that Master Zhao actually greeted Bai Qi first, and did not respond to the smiling face he made, Xue Si was a little unhappy in his heart, and his little face sank slightly. ”

Only then did Master Zhao turn his head and inadvertently glance at this piece of jade billet, his face suddenly changed, and his eyes, which originally looked cloudy and godless, instantly bloomed with brilliance. I just wanted to reach out and take the jade billet, as if I remembered something again, and wiped my hands a few times on the waist around my chest, but I still didn't dare to take the jade billet, but let Xue Si hold it in his hand, and leaned over to look at the jade billet carefully from side to side.

Master Zhao watched it for a long time, and didn't speak, this snow four was a little brainy, and said loudly to find the master: "If you want to see it, take it to see, what is the matter with letting me hold it?" Master Zhao's body and mind were completely attracted by this jade billet, and he didn't seem to hear what Xue Si was saying, and he was still looking at it carefully. Xue Si just wanted to have a seizure, but was pulled by Su San behind his back, so he had to patiently hold the jade billet for Master Zhao to see.

Finally, Master Zhao raised his head, but instead of looking at Su San and Xue Si, he first looked back at Bai Qi, and saw Bai Qi nodding slightly, with the same hot light in his eyes, so he turned his head and shouted: "Ah Shun, prepare the incense case, prepare hot water, and welcome the Jade God." ”

Xue Si and Su San understood this time, and the jade blank they brought was not simple.

Everyone came to the backyard, in front of the tablet dedicated to the ancestor of the carving line, (Note: Which god is the carving shop enshrined?) A friend who knows told me) Master Zhao reverently put on the three pillars of incense after washing his hands, and then turned around to take the jade billet from Xue Si's hand, and then shouted loudly in front of the tablet: "Thank you Master Zu for your blessing, let the disciple see the jade god in his lifetime." ”

After all the ceremonies were over, Master Zhao turned to Xue Si and Su San and said: "Two sons, this jade is a peerless treasure, rare in the world, it is not too much to use to carve jade seals, and it is really overkill to carve seals." Saying that, Master Zhao returned the jade billet to Xue Si, and said, "Put it away, I will return it to you, and I can't afford to pay for it if it is broken." ”

Xue Si took it back a little disappreciatively, and said indifferently: "What's the big deal, isn't it just a piece of jade?" Look at the mystery you have been making for a long time, and you don't explain what kind of jade this is, it's true. ”

Master Zhao's face changed when he heard this, and Bai Qi hurriedly said: "Brother Xue's words are inappropriate, Qingtian Shenyu, the sun is warm and smoking, there are many living beings in the world, there are a few who can be lucky enough to see the demeanor of Shenyu, as for those ordinary people, even if Shenyu is in front of him, he may not recognize it, and he may lose it as garbage." ”

When Master Zhao heard this, he felt like a bosom friend, smiled at Bai Qi and twisted his beard, and nodded slightly in agreement.

Xue Si's face was a little unbearable when he heard this, and he understood that Bai Qi was talking around the bend and saying that he had no beads. It's strange to say, Xue Si just glared at Bai Qi fiercely, and didn't have a seizure, which made Su San on the side look at Xue Si worriedly.

"Hearing Brother Duan say this, our brother is interested in hearing Brother Duan say, what is the wonder of this jade? It is also considered that Brother Duan will let us have a long insight, and I hope that Brother Duan will not hesitate to give advice. Instead of having a seizure, Xue Si put on a smiling face, which made Su San even more shocked, and even the two maids looked at Xue Si a few more times, as if they suspected that they had heard it wrong.

Bai Qi also looked at Xue Si in surprise, and then said: "The "Medicine King Treasure Book" contains, Qingtian Baoyu, produced in Qingtian Mountain, Khotan, close to the body, can drive away evil spirits, regulate yin and yang, and is difficult to invade. ”

After hearing this, Su San took over and said, "Brother Duan just said that Qingtian jade has an effect in medicine, is there any inevitable connection between this and the use of seals for carving?" ”

Bai Qi smiled and said, "Brother Su, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet." The "Book of Dan" of the former Dan Shengge and the record that Qingtian jade is soft, easy to carve, is the god of jade, but only heard its name and did not see its shape, in vain, lead to this hateful thing. ”

Xue Si listened unconvinced and said: "I see that this jade is very hard, I accidentally fell on the floor last time, and I didn't see it damaged at all." ”

Bai Qi said with a smile: "This Qingtian jade will only appear soft in front of the golden stone knife, and in front of other things, it is very hard." ”

Now Su San and Xue Si finally figured it out.

Xue Si grinned and said, "I said, no wonder my father....my father gave it up as a baby, and it took a lot of effort for me to get it out." ”

At this point, the shopkeeper Yu felt that it was finally over, and now he wished that the two of them would leave quickly, and stepped forward with a smile and said: "The two of you feel that the prince is over, you see this matter, please do it." ”

I didn't want that Xue Si to refuse to give up, and said with a smile: "Since you are people who know the goods, it is not easy for me to get this jade, so please help carve a seal, how about it?" ”

"No, never, the old man is very old, such a valuable thing, he never dares to go under the knife." Master Zhao immediately refused.

"Then I don't care, anyway, you have to do me this favor, or I won't leave." Xue Si was not angry, still with a weird smile.

Seeing this, Su San hurriedly pulled Xue Si to the side, bowed his head and said a few words, Xue Si also said a few words in Su San's ear, the two talked like this for a while, and then came back, and Su San said: "Master Zhao, you don't need to worry, no matter how good this jade is, it needs to be used, what's the point of being a baby?" ”

Bai Qi was angry, listened attentively, and intermittently heard the two of them say that it would be difficult to come out if they went back, it was better to strike first, Su San also persuaded Xue Si a few words, but it was estimated that it would not work, so he still relied on Xue Si.

"Brother Su is right, no matter how good the jade is, if it is not carved, it will always be just a stubborn stone, and the value of jade will only be reflected after careful carving." Bai Qi took over the conversation.

Master Zhao also felt a little covered when he heard this, and looked at Bai Qidao: "The old man still doesn't dare to go under the knife, if the seventh prince is willing to make a move, the old man thinks he is the best candidate." ”
