Liu Yuan took out a fire fold, skillfully lit a candle.

It's daytime, lighting the candle is not for lighting, Liu Yuan put a large piece of fire paint on it and slowly roasted it softly, wait until the heat is about the same, and then gently put it on the table, put a hairpin in the softened fire paint, and then blow out the candle, take the magnifying glass that is like a treasure, and take out a delicate wooden box at the end, and open it gently, only to see dozens of carving knives of different sizes neatly placed inside, Liu Yuan carefully took out the carving knife that was ranked at the bottom and the tip was as thin as a cow's hair.

Looking at the phoenix hairpin in the fire paint that could be reborn, Liu Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

A proud with an elegant phoenix, feathers, lifelike, the specially treated opal, inlaid in the phoenix's eye sockets, as if there is aura, the tail of the phoenix Liu Yuan with different colors of gems inlaid with colorful colors, extremely graceful and luxurious, and the mouth of the rare ruby is huge, shining in the sun, as if the eyes of the people are dazzling, before the modification, the ruby seems to be swallowed half into the stomach, after Liu Yuan's transformation, the use of the most difficult claw setting, The area where the ruby and the phoenix come into contact only accounts for about five percent, but Liu Yuan can use his right hand to survive: unless the jewelry is broken, the ruby will never be able to take off.

Liu Yuan only added less than five hundred pieces of four-color gemstone fragments to the feather part, and the cost was about five taels of silver, which was not a loss, but for gemstones, the bigger the head and the better the quality, the more valuable they were, but those very small gems. It is worthless, in the jargon of the industry, it can't be on the table, just like the back, so people think that diamonds are very valuable, in fact, only diamonds that reach the number of "cards" are valuable, and those small, such as those that can only be picked up with small tweezers, that is, a dime a dime.

This is not bragging. Like some ornaments, all of a sudden, they have to be inlaid with a thousand or hundreds of grains by micro-inlay, and an order is thousands of pieces, who has such strong financial resources?

The most amazing thing is that Liu Yuan took out a piece of gold in the belly of the phoenix. After special treatment, it forms a round, extremely small gold ball. Fill under the phoenix's buttocks. As soon as one of the feathers is pulled, the small golden ball will fall, and when the last small golden ball falls, it is exactly three hours, a small half a day, which gives it the function of adding time.

Except for gemstone fragments inlaid with wings. The others are all original materials, but after Liu Yuan's skillful hand, it is like a pheasant turning into a phoenix, Liu Yuan is sure. Even if Empress Changsun saw it, she would never recognize it.

After looking at it for a while, Liu Yuan felt that the time was almost up, and pressed the fire paint with his hand, well, yes, hard as iron, the jewelry was tightly fixed in the fire paint, and he couldn't move, Liu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, set up a magnifying glass, picked up the micro carving knife, and faced the Diamond Sutra in front of him, ready to engrave

In order to express his respect for Empress Changsun, Liu Yuan is ready to do his best to help Empress Changsun create a beautiful piece of jewelry.

It turned out that the plan was to be renovated before the Spring Festival, but the project was too big and he couldn't rush to come, so Liu Yuan changed his mind and repaired it before the Shangyuan Festival, so that he also had enough time to improve slowly.

"Knock Knock Knock"

When Liu Yuan was immersed in his work, suddenly someone kept knocking on the door, as if there was still someone's call.

"Snap" Liu Yuan slapped his palm on the desk, then carefully put the carving knife away, closed his special toolbox, and then went to open the door angrily.

The least favorite is to be disturbed when the work enters the state, to know that it is not easy to enter a state of full concentration, although Liu Yuan began to carve for half an hour, in fact, at least two quarters of an hour is to practice on another piece of discarded jewelry, and only then began to carve on the "Danfeng Chaoyang" in his own state, just unfolded, immediately disturbed, can you not be angry? Liu Yuan decided that if he didn't have long eyes, he would smack him first.

"Who" Liu Yuan just wanted to make a fu, but suddenly found that it was Xiao Niang who knocked on the door, and the anger just now disappeared suddenly, and he immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Xiao Niang, don't you know that your senior brother is working?" What's the matter with me? ”

The little lady pursed her lips and said: "Senior brother's eyes just now are so fierce, as if he wants to eat people, no wonder no one wants to knock on the door, they all pushed me here, hmph, senior brother's temper has grown." ”

The same person, in a different environment, whether it is mood or personality, will slowly change, after Xiaoniang's mention, Liu Yuan found that he has changed from a cowering elementary school in vain to a domineering owner.

Liu Yuan smiled and said: "Where, even if you lose your temper with someone, you can't lose your temper with you, little lady, you haven't said that you are in such a hurry to find me, what's the matter?" ”

"The people from the Cui Mansion came and said that the old lady suddenly asked you to go to the Cui Mansion for dinner, and the carriages were waiting outside."

"At this time? No, I guess our meal is almost good, isn't it difficult for a strong man? They all treat me as a long-term worker in her family. Liu Yuan said a little depressed.

The little lady could see it, and comforted him: "Seventy is not excessive, do whatever you want, the old man's temper is a little weird, besides, I remember you when I eat, and I don't remember you when I work, that's when people are good to you." ”

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes first, and you let the carriage wait a little longer."

"Zhilu Dao, senior brother."

Although Cui Jing's old boy is not authentic enough, he has not cleaned himself up, but Liu Yuan's impression of Mrs. Cui is still very good, the old man is old, and he can see it, especially when he teased her like that at his birthday banquet, not only was he not angry, but he also stayed overnight, and at Cui Mengyao's marriage, he also gave the green light, otherwise, it is estimated that it will not be so smooth, and now she personally said that she would go to dinner with her, and Liu Yuan said that it was not so smooth.

Before going out, Xiao Niang suddenly shouted, "Senior brother, wait, you can take this." ”

Liu Yuan turned his head and saw that Xiao Niang stuffed a bag of things into his hand, and opened it heavily. I was taken aback: all yellow, a big bag of golden beans.

"What for me?"

Xiaoniang smiled and said: "Senior brother, you have forgotten the time for work, today is twenty-seven, tomorrow is twenty-eight, it's a small year, you are out of the house, if you don't have a small reward to reward people, it will make people laugh at you for being stingy, and besides, you are going to Cui's mansion." It's a first-class mansion, but you can't be sloppy, take it. ”

Not to mention, I almost forgot, Liu Yuan put the golden beans away, gently scratched the cute Qiong nose of the little lady and said with a smile: "My little lady is still careful." ”

The little lady is thin-skinned. Although she and Liu Yuan were only one step away from Lei Chi, they were still a little ashamed in front of everyone. Pretty blushed. He whispered with his lips lightly: "Teacher, senior brother, speak well, take this opportunity to beg the old lady to promise you and Miss Cui to revisit the church as soon as possible." ”

What the? Let yourself marry Cui Mengyao back as soon as possible?

Liu Yuan turned his head to look, only to see a window suddenly lowered. Just now, I seemed to see a shadow behind the window.

Yes, there is no need to guess, it must be the Du Sanniang who hated to marry early to come out, and Liu Yuan was a little speechless. In these years, it seems that the sooner you marry, the more beautiful it will be, like Princess Changle and Princess Qinghe, one is twelve and the other is ten, they have chosen their husbands, and those who can't marry at the age of sixteen or seventeen seem to have become "Luodi orange", like leftover girls that no one wants.

With Du Sanniang's unique color and art, the Oiran who used to be bright and colorful, as for it? Under her influence, Xiao Niang seems to be a little anxious

During the Chinese New Year, Liu Yuan didn't want to have an unpleasant time, and he couldn't say anything, so he nodded, answered, and then jumped into the carriage of Cui's Mansion and went straight to Cui's Mansion.

Liu Yuan's place of residence is not far from Cui's house, Liu Yuan just planned to give the Cui family a suitable gift for the New Year, but he didn't expect it, before he could think about it, the carriage had stopped, and the coachman respectfully reported to him that he had arrived at Cui's house.

"Yours, then." Liu Yuan jumped out of the car, flicked the thumb of his right hand, and a golden bean flew out.

"Auntie, auspicious New Year, thank you." When I picked up the car, I thought it was silver beans, but I didn't expect to take a look, Huang Chengcheng, it was a golden bean, about five dollars heavy, good guy, a reward of five taels of silver, no wonder when I went to pick up my aunt, all the coachmen wanted to rush to go, fortunately I found it early, and I was the first to take the errand, which was issued.

Just when Liu Yuan was about to walk into Cui's Mansion, another carriage was galloping not far away, and it was almost at the door of Cui's Mansion.

The Chinese New Year, today is the twenty-seventh year, the officials are going to take annual leave, and now there are still people who come to visit the Cui family?

Waiting for the people in the carriage to come, Liu Yuan first froze, and then immediately came to his senses, it was Xu Hongji.

There is no need to ask, with his high head, his self-esteem, as if he was standing in the clouds and looking down on everything, Liu Yuan recognized him at a glance as the "Xu Jiudou", who was known as the head of the northern scholars and called himself a talented Jiudou, Xu Hongji, and Xu Dacaizi.

In the final analysis, he and him can be regarded as old friends, the Cui Mengzhen he married, and the one he wants to marry is Cui Mengyao, it is estimated that he lives in Chang'an or near Chang'an, and the old lady hasn't seen the two grandsons-in-law for a long time, so she called to take a look together.

The old lady is not worried, Cui Mengzhen's future husband made Liu Yuan so excited, he actually studied hard in retreat, and said that he would postpone the marriage for two years, so angry that Cui Mengzhen regarded himself as an enemy; And Cui Mengyao went to the church two days to get married, but I didn't expect Li Er's holy decree to postpone the wedding date, this time both of them were called, it won't be

"Brother Xu, I didn't expect to bump into you here, disrespectful and disrespectful." Liu Yuan smiled and stepped forward to say hello.

"Is that you?" As soon as Xu Hongji saw Liu Yuan, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise.

Of course he recognized Liu Yuan, that is, Liu Yuan, let his old face be lost, and he had to retreat and study hard after the worst, first, he felt his shortcomings, and secondly, he could also hide from the limelight, so as not to be laughed at, the face that appeared in his mind countless times suddenly appeared in front of him, not only recognized, but also startled.

Liu Yuan said with a sigh: "Brother Xu, I didn't expect that we hadn't seen each other for more than half a year since we said goodbye to Yangzhou, but I didn't expect to meet here."

"Slow!" Xu Hongji suddenly interrupted Liu Yuan's words, and said seriously: "Xu is a scholar who has read the books of sages and sages, you are just a cheap businessman, don't call me a brother and a brother when you meet once, lest others hear and misunderstand." ”

Nima, I thought it was all for the sake of the "old placket", say hello, it turned out to be a hot face and a cold ass, Liu Yuan was simply angry, and said that he would not hit the smiling face person, this nerd has been in retreat for so long, and Liu Yuan doesn't know if his knowledge is long, but his temper has grown a lot.

It must be locked up and ignored, only concerned about studying books, and his cognition of Liu Yuan is still limited to the small businessman who uses poetry to do propaganda, but as everyone knows, Liu Yuan has been different from the past in the morning, not only did he leave the business and become a scholar, but he was also personally appointed by Li Er, and the official worshiped the captain of Liupin Zhaowu.
