Some people love vanity and do whatever it takes for fame and fortune, they don't know that this is a sign of cowardice, and they use vanity to cover up their inner unconfidence and uneasiness; Some seek truth from facts, and will not give up their principles and lose their bottom line because of vanity, because they understand that only when the heart is strong, that person is truly strong.

Obviously, Li Er is a pragmatic and strong person, although he also loves "Rong", but what he loves is not the glory of vanity, but the "Rong" that can be passed down through the ages and be proud of by future generations, although the whole world, it is not the king, the guest of the land, the prince is not the minister, a high-ranking emperor and his courtiers borrow money to turn around and have a bad reputation, which damages the majesty of the emperor, but he accepted it without hesitation, which is a bit like his style, as long as he is a talented person, he can tolerate it and take it for his own use, and use his personality charm to infect the other party, and then use it completely for himself, such as Cheng Lao Demon King, the king of the mountain, Qin Qiong, who abandoned the old master and betrayed halfway, and others.

The process may not be bright, but the result must be brilliant.

As a result, the civil and military officials and the people of Chang'an witnessed or heard about the good deeds of Chang'an Bao donating a large sum of silver to the treasury to conquer the Oiran on the second day of the Oiran finals. Datang set off an upsurge of donations and patriotism.

Of course, these are all afterwords, as soon as Liu Yuan finished donating money and silver and took a jackpot, he handed over the appeal for donations to Gong Sheng and the people sent by the household department to assist. While picking up the hammer and carving knife again, working hard to find the feeling and make gifts for Hu Xin's mother and daughter by the way, while urging Tang Jin and others to make a large number of explosives needed for blasting, because after the Oiran finals, the next thing to do is to blow up the stone mountain, for this incredible creation, the high-level leaders of the Tang Dynasty, including Li Er, expressed their disbelief and expectation, and under the ardent expectations of everyone, Liu Yuan naturally wanted to make a good show.

It's money again, and it's effort again. Liu Yuan was not without gains, Li Er and Empress Changsun invited Liu Yuan and his four daughters to the palace for dinner, and encouraged him, and Empress Changsun also personally hugged Xiao Liu Xue for a while, and praised it greatly. After admitting some palace silk and other things, Liu Yuan had nothing. The four girls were so excited that they were almost speechless. Rao is Cui Mengyao, after returning home, she also lost her reserve, smiling from ear to ear, for them, this is the most glorious moment of their lives, and it is naturally worth showing off and recalling. It's like having a meal with Mr. and Mrs. Li and a few words of praise can prolong life.

It's not the first time I've eaten with Li Er and them, maybe it's in a different place, Li Er came and was invited to the palace. It seems that the latter is a little grander

Liu Yuan used to go to the laboratory protected by his personal guard and the forbidden army every day to inspect the progress, and then hid back in his studio to continue his love building.

At this moment, Liu Yuan sat in a clean and tidy studio, carefully looking at the two jade carvings in front of him.

Jade, is a good jade, the best Hetian jade, crystalline, moist, touch the flesh, this is also Liu Yuan's collection of the best piece of jade divided out, in Liu Yuan's skillful hands, carved into two jade Buddhas, this is Liu Yuan is ready to give Hu Xin and his daughter Liu Xue gifts, only to see the two jade Buddha carving exquisite, Liao Liao several knives, it has been prepared, although both are jade Buddhas, but in style, there are obvious differences.

Hu Xin is a native of Tubo, believes in Tianzhu Buddhism, there are differences in the Tang Dynasty, Liu Yuan prepared for Hu Xin, is the Jade Buddha with the color of the Western Regions, and for Xiao Liu Xue, it is the most widely spread Laughing Buddha, that big belly, a smile, looking at it has a sense of joy, even children see it and like it, two Jade Buddhas, two styles, Liu Yuan can be said to be very thoughtful.

Jade Buddha Liu Yuan spent two days carving and polishing, among which the little lady can not help less, with the woman's carefulness and patience, the two Jade Buddha polished as delicate as the skin of a beautiful woman, smooth as a mirror, it can be said that it is very attentive, carved and polished, Liu Yuan spent two more days to make a mold, and now it is the fifth day, ready to inlay it.

It is the technique of gold and jade.

Gold inlaid jade is very popular in later generations, and the technique is also very mature, Liu Yuan heard an expert say that jade is spiritual, and the jade worn by a person is accidentally broken, don't be sad, that is jade for you to block a catastrophe, there is also a saying, saying that in ancient times, when gold and silver were not used as coins, they tried to use shells, livestock, jade, etc. as currency, and the wealth in the "breaking wealth and preventing disasters" refers to jade, which is clear-sighted, to be honest, Liu Yuan has just heard and laughed, and it is okay, and he is not an expert, there is no need to delve into it.

Since it is spiritual, it is natural to serve well, in the past, those jade were drilled a small hole, worn through the rope on the body, and then many people thought it was not good, in their words, did not carve into a Buddha, that is a stone, it doesn't matter if you throw it, but once carved into a Buddha, that is a god, can no longer be rude to it, for example, make a hole in the jade Buddha, as if poking a hole in a person's body, a big disrespect, leave some extra for hanging holes, and it seems to add to the snake, so it is inlaid with gold, gold and silver.

Isn't there a saying "Buddha relies on gold, people rely on clothes", inlaid with gold and silver, it also looks noble and generous?

The biggest advantage of gold inlaid jade is not to destroy the jade, so that the temperament of jade and the beauty of gold are completely combined, creating a special temperament, in addition, there is also the meaning of "gold and jade good fate", which is very popular with guests, Liu Yuan also launched a batch in Chang'an, a put on the shelves, was quickly swept away, and was also favored by people who knew the goods.

Speaking of gold inlaid jade, Liu Yuan also made a misunderstanding, it turned out that Liu Yuan has always thought that gold inlaid jade is a new method developed by later generations, and later an old technician in the gold supreme told Liu Yuan that it had appeared before the Tang Dynasty, according to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu people Bian and got a piece of peerless jade dedicated to King Wen of Chu, and later the beautiful jade pecked into the wall, called the wall of the He's family, Qin Shi Huang annexed the six countries, after the unification of the world, the wall of the obtained and skilled craftsmen carved into a jade seal, engraved Li Si's book "ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" eight characters, and then carved with five dragon patterns, exquisite, Ingenious workmanship, the first emperor is in love with it, regarded as a divine object, after Qin was destroyed by the Han Dynasty, the jade seal fell into the hands of Liu Bang, Liu Bang took this jade seal as a jade seal from generation to generation, to the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the two-year-old infant ascended the throne, the jade seal was hidden in the Changle Palace, Wang Mang usurped power, coerced the Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan to hand over the jade seal, the Empress Dowager did not follow, took out the jade seal in a rage and fell to the ground, and the jade seal fell off a corner.

Wang Mang saw that the jade seal was damaged, sighed again and again, and hurriedly recruited skilled craftsmen to repair, the craftsman was also smart, and came up with a strange trick of using gold to inlay the missing corners, and after repairing, it was more and more dazzling, so it was called "gold inlaid jade seal", which is the origin of "gold inlaid jade". It's a pity that this rare national treasure "gold inlaid jade seal" changed hands several times later, and it disappeared in the Three Kingdoms era. However, the production process of gold inlaid jade has been inherited, and later generations have the previous accumulation, as well as scientific and technological progress, tool innovation, broad vision and other reasons, which have been greatly improved.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan smiled, fortunately he didn't arrogantly preach to others, this is his own innovative technique, otherwise, it is estimated that people will laugh until they lose their teeth.

Gently patted his head with his hand, closed his eyes, and exhaled a few deeply, Liu Yuan relaxed, put aside distracting thoughts, and when Liu Yuan opened his eyes again, his eyes were clear: he also adjusted himself to the best state, and was ready to start making the most difficult efforts, inlaying the jade and giving it to Hu Xin's mother and daughter in front of the blasting stone mountain.

After blowing up the stone mountain, there must be still a lot of things to deal with, and they must be prepared to compete with Gongsun Susu to clear the way for the expansion of the Jinyu family.

In order to prevent accidental splashing of saliva on the Jade Buddha, Liu Yuan also specially got a mask, gently picked up the Jade Buddha, put it in front of his eyes, and after checking that there was no problem, he gently wiped the Jade Buddha clean again with a silk cloth

At the same time that Liu Yuan was carefully creating gifts for his wife and daughter, in a beautiful mansion in Luozhou, a woman was also busy with a small carving knife, on the case, more than 20 carving knives were lined up, neatly arranged, and the one in her hand was as small as a needle, and in front of her, there was a magnifying glass.

That's right, it's a magnifying glass, if Liu Yuan is here, he will definitely be surprised to find: this woman is practicing with the technique of miniature carving, if you look carefully, you can see that she is focused, skillful in action, ten fingers dexterous as flying, dare to love in miniature carving also has a good foundation.

This woman is about fourteen or fifteen years old, with black and shiny hair, bright eyes and bright teeth, although her goose-egg-like face is still childish, but her face is confident, and the whole person exudes a sense of shrewdness, and the two maids stand quietly behind her, and they dare not breathe, for fear of hindering her work.

After a while, I saw her gently put down the tool, exhaled a long breath, and said to herself, "It's okay, it's finally done." ”

"Susu, why are you so happy about it?" At this time, an old man walked in, stroking his gray beard, and asked with a smile.

As soon as the two maidservants saw the head of the house coming, they hurriedly saluted.

Sitting in front of the desk and practicing miniature carving, it was Gongsun Susu, the rising star of the Gongsun family, as soon as he saw the old man coming, he immediately stood up and saluted, and said respectfully: "Grandpa, why are you here?" (To be continued......)
