The southwest of the county is relatively remote, and there are not many people coming and going, so it can be said that it is a quiet area in the deep downtown area.

Qin Xiang raised his head and looked at the plaque hanging in the courtyard, the carved font was old and vigorous, and it was more than flexible between strokes.

And the lion at the door is not made of stone, but carved out of fine wood, and the whole lion is carved so vividly as if it were alive.

"It's not a loss to be a skilled craftsman, such a carver makes people look amazing!" Qin Xiang withdrew his admiring gaze and couldn't help but exclaim.

Han Yunxiao agreed with him, the old craftsman is pursuing the ultimate in carving and workmanship, so that the people of the entire court will respect him when they see him.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind them, "Little girl, then you can tell me what is good about this carving?" ”

I saw an old man with white hair looking at her with wide eyes, but when he saw Han Yunxiao, his eyes obviously flashed with a hint of surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.

Han Yunxiao recognized him as the old craftsman at a glance, and wanted to remind Qin Xiang out loud, but seeing the wisdom flashing in Qin Xiang's eyes, he stopped.

He understands the temper of the old craftsman, and maybe Qin Xiang's words can enter the eyes of the old craftsman, so that the probability of letting the old craftsman help them make sewing machines is greater.

Qin Xiang was still focusing on the magnificent scene in front of her, and did not notice their abnormality, she glanced at the old man calmly, thinking that he was a passerby, and when she saw that he was interested, she patiently replied: "Uncle, you see that the structure of the lion is powerful and domineering, and each hair is carved delicately and delicately, and finally the old but domineering eyes are like the finishing touch, making the whole lion as if it is alive." ”

The old craftsman's eyes lit up after hearing this, he didn't expect her to be able to observe so carefully, "Oh? Then look at the plaque again, what's so good? ”

Qin Xiang glanced at the plaque and smiled elegantly, "Most of the plaques are like a withdrawal, but the font of the plaque in front of me is powerful, giving people a sense of vigor, if I am not mistaken, there is a faint lotus on each font, if you guess correctly, the plaque of the old gentleman in this room should have the feeling of being out of the mud and not stained, right?" ”

After hearing this, the old craftsman hid more joy in his eyes, there were many people who visited him every day, but there were very few people who could really understand his works, and there were few people like Qin Xiang who were so young and could understand the meaning of his carving.

After Qin Xiang finished speaking, he looked back at the old craftsman with a smile, "Uncle, I don't know if I'm right?" ”

"Yes, yes... Right. The old craftsman hurriedly smiled, but when he saw the brightness in Qin Xiang's eyes, he was puzzled: "Little girl, when did you find out my identity?" ”

He didn't reveal that he was the one who carved these objects, how did Qin Xiang see it?

Is he showing it too obviously? It's not right, he used to tempt the people he visited like this, but everyone thought he was just a passing old man, and they ignored him.

"There are not many people around, but you are the only one who has stood here for a long time, and is interested in carving and workmanship, so I expect you to be the respected owner of this house."

Immediately afterwards, Qin Xiang politely bowed to him, "Meet the old man." ”

Qin Xiang's words won the hearts of the old craftsman, and the old craftsman's gaze when he looked at her changed from joy to appreciation.

With such a wise woman, it is not surprising that she can become Han Yunxiao's woman, such a woman is a shining star wherever she goes, thinking like this, he thinks that it is cheap for Han Yunxiao to marry a dignified and generous woman like Qin Xiang.

"No need to be polite, you and I have a chance to come into the house and talk." The old craftsman spoke aloud, opening the door and inviting them in.

"Hmm." Qin Xiang responded lightly, and looked at Han Yunxiao happily, and at the same time, her hanging heart also fell back into her stomach.

Han Yunxiao's thin and cold lips were infected by her smile, and he approached her and said in a low voice: "I'll just say, my lady is the wisest." ”

"Don't bury me, it's still a question of whether the old gentleman is willing to agree." Qin Xiang said modestly, not getting carried away by the temporary joy.

"He will." Han Yunxiao's deep eyes looked at the old craftsman, although the latter's temper was a little strange, but he was fascinated by good drawings.

"Are you so sure?" Qin Xiang looked up at him suspiciously, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

As the two spoke, they came to the wooden table in the pavilion, and the old craftsman poured himself a cup of tea and said, "You can do it yourself." ”

Qin Xiang nodded, picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, "Good tea." ”

"Little girl, what kind of tea have you tasted?"

After Qin Xiang came to this time and space, the art of tea has grown, and she knows good tea as soon as she drinks it, but it is still difficult for her to say the exact name.

Han Yunxiao saw her pondering, and said loudly to relieve her: "The high-quality Longjing tea, the time of picking is in the early morning, and the moisture of the tea is retained, it is indeed a good tea." ”

Qin Xiang was surprised, he didn't usually see Han Yunxiao drinking tea, but he didn't expect Han Yunxiao to study tea so much.

The old craftsman secretly glanced at Han Yunxiao, what tea had the latter not drunk? And this tea was given by the person in front of him, so it's not surprising to be able to say it so accurately.

But the old craftsman was no longer embarrassed by Qin Xiang, afraid that Han Yunxiao would be anxious with him, so he said directly: "I also drank the tea, let's say, why did the little girl come to me?" ”

After hearing this, Qin Xiang came back to his senses and took out the drawing paper, and said with a smile: "Old man, this is the drawing I made, I want to ask you to help me make an identical one." ”

The old craftsman glanced at the drawings casually, and when he saw the sewing machine painted on it, his eyes obviously flashed with a glimmer of light, and he asked her happily: "Little girl, I didn't expect your head to be flexible, this thing is stunned that I haven't seen it for so long, can you tell me what is painted on it?" ”

"I came up with it, it's called the sewing machine." Qin Xiang didn't dare to say that it was drawn according to a modern sewing machine, otherwise she would have been caught by a group of old men to do research.

"Sewing machine?" The old craftsman's brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered, "Can it be described as a thing for sewing and mending? ”

Qin Xiang nodded, the role of the sewing machine is indeed interesting in layman's terms, "The old gentleman has really seen a wide range of knowledge, and the little girl really admires it." ”

"Good thing, I'll take it and study it." The old craftsman's mind was completely attracted by the sewing machine, so he picked up the drawings and went to the carpenter's room.

"Xianggong, what does the old gentleman mean to agree?" Qin Xiang looked at the back of the old craftsman leaving and asked happily.

Han Yunxiao nodded, according to the old craftsman's temperament, I am afraid that the old craftsman will have to study for a day before he can come out.

"Thank you, sir." Qin Xiang immediately stood up and happily waved at the back of the old craftsman.

The old craftsman stopped and did not look back and said, "You two are coming to me in seven days!" ”

When he had finished speaking, he began to stir in the room.

"Okay, I'm sorry for the old man." Qin Xiang said with a smile, there is an old craftsman who makes a move, and I am afraid that the sewing machine will be available soon.

"I heard that the fried chicken you made is excellent, if you sincerely thank you, you will bring two plates of side dishes and a pot of wine every day in the future."

Qin Xiang didn't expect the old craftsman to see her identity, and asked with a smile, "How did the old gentleman recognize me?" ”

"Tsk, don't distract from your girl." The old craftsman pretended to have a straight face, but in fact, when he saw Han Yunxiao, he guessed that Qin Xiang was the shopkeeper of the fried chicken restaurant.

Qin Xiangwan smiled, cooperating with Jin Porcelain, his hot pot restaurants are all opened here, presumably there are fried chicken restaurants, and it is not surprising that the old craftsman has heard of her.

"Don't worry, the old gentleman is wrapped up in me, but I live in a guest house, I'm afraid it will be a little inconvenient......"

"There's a little kitchen in my yard, and you two cook your meals there."

Han Yunxiao's chin was raised slightly, his deep eyes looked at the carpenter's room with a hint of inquiry, and his voice was so flat that people couldn't hear the emotion, "Are you sure I want to cook for you?" ”

However, the old craftsman had this in mind from the moment he saw him.

In the future, it was also a very beautiful thing for a cold living Yama to cook for him, at least when he talked about it with the other two old men, he was very respectful.

Seeing that he didn't answer, a helpless smile rose on the corner of Han Yunxiao's mouth, after so many years, this old man's temperament has not changed at all, and he still likes to take advantage of him.

"Xianggong, if you don't want to, I can do it alone." Qin Xiang didn't know what the two of them were thinking, and thought that Han Yunxiao didn't want to cook.

Han Yunxiao shook his head, it wasn't that he couldn't cook, and he couldn't see the old craftsman's smug energy, "I'll give the lady a hand." ”

"Okay, let's go grocery shopping and come back, shall we?"

Although the old craftsman did not stipulate that she should start cooking today, it was right to leave a good impression in the old craftsman's heart.

Otherwise, according to the old craftsman's temperament, she really doesn't know what to use as a thank you gift.

Han Yunxiao didn't object, he didn't want to worry about the old craftsman, besides, they hadn't seen each other for so long, so it was time to sit down and drink together.

He also asked the old craftsman about the recent situation in the palace, including the recent movements of that person......

In the afternoon, Qin Xiang and Han Yunxiao walked back to the old craftsman's yard again with two chickens, a fish, and some pork and vegetables.

When the old craftsman heard the movement, he stood up secretly, poked a hole in the outer door and looked at the things they were carrying, and immediately smiled from ear to ear.

He was so happy that he didn't see a single piece of wood under his feet, and he tripped over it without surprise.

When Qin Xiang heard the movement, she immediately put down the dishes and wanted to come forward to ask, but Han Yunxiao stopped her.

Han Yunxiao's deep eyes showed a hint of a smile when he looked at the carpenter's room, in fact, when he entered the door, he found that the old craftsman was peeking.

This fall can be regarded as God's careful thinking of punishing this old man for him.

"He's fine, it's not surprising that a carpenter makes such a noise from time to time."

Han Yunxiao's voice was neither loud nor small, and it happened that the old craftsman could hear it clearly.

After hearing this, Qin Xiang felt that it was like that, so he didn't step forward to ask the old craftsman what happened.

The old craftsman was so angry when he heard their conversation that his neck was red, and he lame and scolded himself: "This little cub really doesn't have the kindness of the little girl. ”

Han Yunxiao's internal strength is excellent, and after hearing the sound of complaining inside, the corners of Bo Liang's mouth raised slightly.

This old man's temperament is still the same as it was at the beginning!
