Section 40 The Craftsman (I)

There are many kinds of nobility in this world, which are neither majestic nor inviolable, or elegant and indestructible, or holy and undeceiving...... But they all have one thing in common, which is that they are high up and unapproachable. These people seem to be born to be proud, even if they hide their pride in their hearts and feel that pride is wrong, but others think that this is a natural and natural thing. No matter how peaceful and kind the smile on his face is, others still feel that he is superior, and the more humble and kind he is to others, the more uncomfortable others feel.

And the reason why silence makes people fascinated is because he shows a nobility that has never been seen before, this kind of demeanor makes people feel warm at first sight, like a spring breeze. Can't help but get close to him, confide in him, and leave everything to him.

Even Hou Xiancheng, who was full of competition, seemed to be intimidated by his silent demeanor, and he didn't even feel that he would return the salute with his fists, and said, "May I ask this son, can you bring that bottle?" ”

"Here." Shen Mo patted the wooden box and smiled slightly.

The king and the big official tiger, seeing that this kid stole his limelight as soon as he appeared, was very indignant in his heart, and couldn't help but say sourly: "Boy, what are you putting it in, is my bottle gold-plated, don't you take it out for the uncle to see?" "Angry and immediately revealed the true appearance of a hooligan.

"I can't show you yet." Shen Mo smiled faintly. Shen Jing told him yesterday that Shen Lian continued to put pressure on the Shanyin County Order, and now the eldest son has been taken to the Shanyin County Government under house arrest, and he has finally escaped from the clutches of the Tiger Head Society.

"Why?" Wang Laohu said with a dark face.

"You begged me to gild this bottle, and I'm gilding it now." Shen Mo turned his head to look at the audience, and said with a smile: "What should I do next?" ”

"Give money." The common people laughed and said: "The cost of materials, the cost of labor, that will cost a lot of money, how can I let the little minister pay for it himself." "Don't blame public opinion for being one-sided, when a vicious-looking underworld and a monkey-like crown stand with a gentle and elegant little scholar, the people will naturally choose which one they should support.

"Boy, don't make me mad!" Wang Laohu was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he now regretted handing over Yao's eldest son to the government.

Hou Xiancheng persuaded on the side: "Brother Tongda, give him a few taels, and wait for the box to be opened." ”

Wang Laohu suddenly said: "Okay, the kid deceived me!" You want me to go crazy and take the opportunity to drop this box, right? "This is a trick used by ruffians, so they think that others are also doing the same.

He smiled silently and said nothing, which made Wang Laohu feel even more determined, and he couldn't help grinning and said: "Boy, I have a pair of gold bills here, if you can gild my bottle with gold, it will be yours." If it wasn't plated, or if it broke my bottle, you would pay me back double, how about it? ”

Shen Mo nodded and smiled, "Very good." Hou Xiancheng took Wang Laohu's two small ingots, put them in his hand, and reported loudly: "Two pure gold bills, a total of one or two or eight yuan." "He was a treasurer, a natural authority, and no one disputed.

"Boy, I think you have any other reason?" Wang Laohu laughed.

Shen Mo also laughed and said, "Take it!" With that, he threw the wooden box into his arms.

Wang Laohu didn't pay attention and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he is a practitioner, and his skills are faster than ordinary people, and he was in a hurry for a while, but he still caught it. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he sneered: "Boy, if you want to calculate Lao Tzu, you are still a little tender." As he spoke, he opened the wooden box, took out the bottle, and laughed without looking at it: "Fathers and fellow villagers, how should Lao Tzu punish this kid?" ”

"Give money, give money!" The crowd of onlookers said in unison.

"You're cheap, boy." Wang Laohu finally realized the pleasure of public opinion, and decided to be generous: "Take it!" ”

"You should give the money." The crowd laughed and said, "Let's look at the bottle first." ”

Wang Laohu looked down in surprise, only to see that the glass bottle had indeed turned into pure gold, shining in the light, exuding a dazzling golden light.

"This, how is this possible?" Wang Laohu's wide open mouth could have stuffed a toad into it, and he almost let go of the bottle and dropped it.

The two county officials took the gold bottle for joint appraisal, and the rejuvenated Zhang Xiancheng announced loudly: "The bottle body is intact, and the gold plating is perfect!" The crowd had long been fascinated by the ingenious golden vase, and now they naturally cheered when they heard it, as if they had triumphed.

Shen Mo couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and said in his heart: "No one really knows this method. Before he could come back to his senses, he was surrounded by a crowd of people, who turned out to be those goldsmiths with red eyes, who kowtowed to him and said, "Shen Gongzi, we are willing to worship you as a teacher, please accept us." ”

Shen Mo rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not a goldsmith, is it right to teach you to recite poetry?" ”

"With your gold-plated craftsmanship in the bottle, you can be the master of all of us." A leading goldsmith said respectfully, "Master, take us." "Yes, master, please accept us." The goldsmiths were noisy again.

Shen Mo saw that it was no longer possible to tell the truth, so he had to smile bitterly and said, "Everyone, listen to me...... This method is what I saw from the book, and I want to know that I told you that it is, but there is one point, don't say anything about apprenticeship. ”

The goldsmiths were naturally happy, but there was a buzz in the crowd, but it was those who read were stunned, and a dignified-looking scholar stood up and arched his hand: "This junior brother is invited, in the Xiashan Yin Zhuda, there is something unclear, please give advice." ”

"Don't dare to teach, let's discuss together." Shen Mo hurriedly returned the salute: "Brother, please speak." ”

His polite attitude immediately won the favor of the big ribbons, and he also smiled and said, "May I ask from which book you saw this method." That's not right...... In front of the public, ask people what book they read it from, and then everyone goes back and flips through the books, then the method becomes a well-known secret, what is it worth?

But the big scarves had a frank face, and they didn't seem to be worried about this. The people around him also looked right, and no one felt that what he said was inappropriate...... Who are the Great Ribbons? The champion talent, who loves books and becomes obsessed, is known as 'no book without reading, and reciting without reading', such a book that no one has ever read, what a rare and lonely book.
