Don't look at Guo Lao's own drunkenness and drowsiness, he is really strict with Diancui.

Especially when his body is getting worse and worse, he is even more anxious, and he can't wait to stuff all his skills into Diancui's brain.

Hammer saucer chisel flower fried beads, cloisonné filament filling, burnt blue dots and blue dots emerald, inlaid with jewels and beads gild...... Guo Lao only taught these basic crafts for half a month and then let Diancui practice by himself, and the gold, silver and jewelry used to practice Diancui were never stingy, and there was a steady stream of new ones when they were broken.

Guo Lao also invited a Danqing master to teach some emerald painting Danqing, especially those delicate filigree jewelry. Diancui was late in the opening of Danqing's technique, but Guo Lao did not tolerate it, and he still played the board if he didn't draw well.

was stuffed so much at once, and he had to contact those hairpin-making skills diligently during the day, and Diancui had to rest less at night to learn the art of danqing.

"Knock knock" Dian Cui's small second room door was knocked on, and Dian Cui was embarrassed under the lamp oil to deal with this tired silk butterfly love flower painting.

Open the door, it turned out to be Ruohe, who had not been seen for a long time, Ruohe went to the West Courtyard every day, just to see Tong Li often, and there was less contact with Diancui here.

"Huh? Why is Sister Ruohe here? ”

"Oh, this is for you," Ruohe didn't say much, only handed over a letter, knowing that Diancui was busy these days, so he didn't stay long and left soon, and when he left, he was still puzzled and looked at Diancui, and he didn't know how this girl had dealings with Yuan Gongzi.

Diancui took the envelope and opened it to see that it was the handwriting of the teacher Yuan Zhiheng.

There was no word of greeting, but the experience of how to achieve a good Danqing was listed concisely. There is no lack of special guidance based on the understanding of Diancui.

Dian Cui's heart was hot, if there was anyone in this world who knew the most about the ideas and habits in his womb, it would be him. On that day, everyone came to celebrate himself, and he sent down two kingfishers for a hundred years and left in a hurry, not even giving himself a smile, thinking that he was annoyed.

With Yuan Zhiheng's "special" guidance, Diancui can be said to have made rapid progress in Danqing art, Guo Lao snorted a few words when he saw it, to the effect that his performance was acceptable, but his qualifications were poor.

It turns out that the master is so awkward, even a word of appreciation is stingy, and even if he cares, he has to pretend to be careless...... Sure enough, all the masters in the world are the same, Dian Cui smiled and shook his head.

A month later, Diancui finally got on the road, and he didn't have to stay up late at night to keep up with Guo Lao's guidance. At the same time, I also had time to inquire about what was happening in the house, and when I inquired, I learned that Mrs. had lifted the confinement of the eldest lady to return to Chuyu, and she could enter and leave the East Courtyard at will, but if she wanted to go out of the house, she would need a letter from Mrs.

"The eldest lady is out?" Diancui had a headache: "Then she has someone to pass on my approaching reply?" ”

"Why not, I sent people every day a few days ago, but I couldn't get into our courtyard, and I was scolded by Guo Lao, saying that no one should disturb you before you finish learning."

It was the fat girl who spoke, she was sent by Aunt Xing to take care of Guo Lao and Diancui's meal.

"Huh? How did I not know? Diancui cried with a sad face.

Their small courtyard is very clean, and there are only four people in total, she and Teacher Guo are apprentices, the fat maid takes care of the meals and sweeps the courtyard, and there is a small maid doing some errands at the door.

Gui Chuyu sent someone to find her, Guo Lao naturally didn't bother to tell her, the fat maid and the little maid are not people who talk a lot, as long as Diancui doesn't ask, they will naturally not say more to distract her.

"Then, Sister Diancui, are you going to see the eldest lady?" The fat maid bit the neck of a roast chicken that Guo Lao bought back and gnawed it with relish.

"Now that you know, you have to meet it." Diancui said, saying that he was going to go back and change into clean clothes.

"Today's chisel flower with the queen mother's longevity is good? And how is the silver foot hairpin made of gold silk inlaid with treasure peony flowers? Guo Lao flashed out of nowhere, staring at Diancui with a gloomy face.

"Don't do business, worry about something inconsequential when you see the heavens, when will you be able to make a profit like this?!" Guo Lao snorted coldly: "Don't let me come in yet!" ”

Now after listening to Guo Lao's mean words, Dian Cui's face is as usual, but in terms of action, he still inevitably shrank his head and entered the training room.

Seeing that this apprentice was still well-behaved and obedient, Guo Lao was not such an unreasonable person, so he only said in a sullen voice: "If the eldest lady wants to blame, say that I won't let you be discharged from the hospital, and wait a few days/The few things you have practiced at hand are qualified, and you will be allowed to rest for two days as a teacher." ”

"Hey, Master, I'm not tired." Diancui said obediently.

"Hmm", Guo Lao was satisfied, and then drank and nibbled on roast chicken.

"Master, the apprentice heard that the eldest lady was once lost, and later was ......recognized by her home with a hairpin" Diancui suddenly stopped what he was doing and asked softly: "Master can see that hairpin?" ”

Although her tone was very soft, only Diancui herself knew how much she was expecting to ask this sentence.

After asking, he stared at Guo Lao's expression tightly, and his palms were a little sweaty.

I knew that I heard Guo Lao Dao: "I've seen it, and some of the hairpins were made by me, but most of them were made by my wife." ”

A simple sentence made Diancui's nose sour, it turned out that it was really related to Guo Lao, and he recognized Guo Lao as an apprentice......

Is it really that there is a destiny in the underworld?

Holding back the trembling, Dian Cui asked tightly: "Isn't there anything special about that hairpin, otherwise it ......?"

"Naturally, there is something special, otherwise wouldn't it be child's play to recognize your biological daughter with just a hairpin?" Guo Lao waved his hand, a little impatient: "You care about this, don't be distracted, do the work at hand." ”

"But ......" Seeing that the master closed his mouth and squinted, he obviously didn't like to mention it, so he had to swallow the words in his mouth.

At night, Diancui went back and tossed and turned, but he didn't fall asleep.

No, according to the memory of her previous life, after this year, Gui Chuyu asked the Wu family to ask her to marry the An family, and asked her to follow to be a concubine.

She couldn't wait any longer.

On the second day, Diancui went to the small courtyard early, finished the hairpin at hand, and copied the style of the heart. When Guo Lao came, although he didn't see Dian Cui in the house, he looked at these things on the case, and rarely showed a satisfied smile.

At this time, Diancui came out of the kitchen made of the small ear room next to him with a large porcelain plate with blue glaze, on which was placed a small bowl, two small plates, the bowl contained hot wooden whitebait water chestnut porridge, one plate was three pairs of split chicken breast wings, and the other plate was freshly peeled water chestnut wrapped in sugar.

"Master, come and have breakfast!" Diancui quickly brought it up, and urged the master to come and eat it with a smile.

Guo Lao looked at her with a squint, didn't step forward and was not fooled, and said, "Are you fighting any more ghost ideas?" ”

"How can I be, I've only been practicing for the past few days, and I've forgotten to honor Master, your old man, and I'll get up early in the morning and make breakfast for you!"

"Look at this water chestnut, the water is wrapped in a thin layer of white sugar, and the bite is crisp and sweet, and the whitebait is also fresh from the river this morning."

Diancui said briskly, Guo Lao slowly moved over and sat down.

"What do you want to do first?" Guo Lao was still not at ease before eating, and he had a deep understanding of the words of eating people's soft mouth......

"You eat first, eat first." Diancui smiled.

"Say! Not to mention that I can't eat it. "Who knows what this ghost girl is paying attention to.

Seeing that the master refused to be fooled, Dian Cui had to say with a grimace: "Master, the apprentice is really curious about that hairpin, just tell me, since it is so special, the apprentice also wants to take a look." ”

Guo Lao breathed a sigh of relief and said in a loud voice: "It turns out that it is still for the hairpin I said yesterday, it doesn't hurt to tell you, the style of the hairpin is actually nothing amazing, it's just an ordinary gold silk inlaid with Baoyun Tuoluan bird hairpin, and the wings flying high Luan bird bird feathers are more difficult to do, and it is just a knife for the teacher." ”

"Luan Niao bird feathers are meticulous, it is really difficult to achieve the slightest detail, and only the master's craftsmanship can do it," Dian Cui did not forget to pat a fart, and asked: "Is this the special feature of that hairpin?" ”

Guo Lao shook his head: "Although it is difficult to do Toba, as long as you practice diligently, you can do it over time, and the special thing is not here." ”

"What's that?!" Diancui's eyes widened and she asked eagerly.

Guo Lao glared at her, and he didn't know what this little apprentice had to do if he had to inquire about the private affairs of people returning home, but seeing that she really wanted to know, it was estimated that it would be difficult to concentrate for a day if he didn't tell her...... Yesterday, her dejected appearance, Guo Lao, couldn't you see it?

"The special feature of the hairpin lies in the red gem set on the back of the bird," Guo Lao said slowly: "The origin of the gem is related to the old man of the previous generation who returned home, I heard that the old man got it from the South China Sea, and on the way back to Beijing, he was stabbed by a road bandit, and the blood stained the gem hidden in his chest, and when he came back, the old man took out the gem and handed it to his family. The gemstone was made into jewelry by later generations, and it was later discovered that as long as the blood of a person who had returned home dripped on it, the blood could soak into the gem, making the gem redder, and if it was the blood of an outsider, it would be a mass of dirt outside the gemstone. Later, this gem was unraveled, only five small ones, made into different ornaments, given to several descendants of the home, when the eldest lady in the house was born, the whole house was happy, Mrs. went to the old lady to ask for the only one left, made a cloud drag. ”

"The eldest lady dripped her own blood on it that day...... Did you confirm your identity? Diancui asked calmly.

"I didn't see this with my own eyes, and I don't know what the situation was at the time, but I heard that there was a fork when the blood was dripping that day, which involved another young lady in the Gui family, and at this time it was a secret of returning home to outsiders...... As for how the eldest lady entered this door later, the details are unknown. Guo Lao said so much, he was a little tired, ate breakfast, and went back to rest.

It turns out that this is the secret of this hairpin.

This gem was divided into five pieces and sent to the Gui clan, and one was obtained in the main house, and was begged by the Wu family to give it to his only daughter, and it was precisely because of this hairpin that the lost daughter could be recovered.

Since this hairpin can tell who is the daughter of the returning family, then what tricks did Gui Chu Yu use to get through the trick.

It's just that it seems difficult to find out the truth of the year, even if Dian Cui didn't inquire about anything in the embroidery room, this matter should be difficult to investigate.

The most important thing at the moment is this hairpin.

It has to be found.
