Cui Fuping returned to the curtain house, closed the door, and was so frightened that a hand trembled and dropped the wicker in his hand, and just opened a crack in the door and was rudely slapped back by a palm.

"Senior brother, I suddenly remembered that Master Zhang's auspicious picture has not yet been engraved," she turned back and looked at the young and old senior brother carefully, "Let's go, go and engrave it, finish carving." ”

As soon as her hands touched the door, he grabbed her hands, and her serious face was suppressed, for some reason she forgot to resist, just looked at the person's handsome face, and said word by word: "You are so bold that even your senior brother dares to deceive, you ordered someone to send something to his house early this morning." ”

He took her hands and pulled them towards his chest, his sharp eyes close to her somewhat stunned face, just a fist away.

"If you do something wrong, you want to run away, Fuping, when will you let me worry less?" He let go of his clamped hands, "It seems that I spoiled you, and I just didn't learn it, and I let go of all the kingfishers." Are you as easy to catch as chickens, ducks and geese? You must know that if the kingfisher hurts its feathers, the hairpins made are either missing feathers or are wasted. ”

"But, kingfishers are so beautiful, you went to pluck their feathers alive, how can you be so ruthless?" She slapped Yang Chimu in the face and shouted angrily: "Senior brother, the master handed over the curtain to you, not for you to mutilate living beings. ”

Yang Chi glanced at Cui Fuping fixedly, brushed his sleeves and left, Cui Fuping fell to the ground against the door, looking at her palms lonely, she actually beat her senior brother. I actually forgot that person took Diancui as his own life, and it was better to kill him if he didn't make some cui hairpins.

A tear fell into the open palm, and she buried her face in it, sobbing over her shoulder.

Five years ago, as soon as Cui Fuping pushed open the door of his senior brother's room, he saw him put his hand under the table in a panic, and she was relieved to see that she had closed the door, so she took out the things under the table.

"What a beautiful hairpin," she took in her hand and looked at it carefully, "but what is the white part of the hairpin down there?" There was no mistake in the silver on the top, like light falling on the white snow. Senior brother, isn't this just a point, a little cui......"

Her mouth was covered, but the surprise in her eyes was delightful.

"Be a little bit, the master hasn't taught me the craft of Diancui yet," he took the hairpin in her hand and put it in her high hair tied with a ribbon, "This is what I pondered, so I will give it to you, and I will give you a hair crown another day, so you don't have to use this to tie your hair." ”

She snatched the hairband from his palm, and as soon as he lowered his face, he began to work again. She propped her hands on the table, looking at Junliang's very sideways face under the shaking warm light, "It's just that you don't learn the master's Diancui, senior brother, you are also very powerful, why are you so persistent?" ”

He didn't stop the carving knife in his hand, dropped a layer of powder on the jade, and said calmly: "My mother is a noble lady, but she secretly eloped with a poor scholar behind her family's back. She was indeed happy, at least for as long as I can remember, they had always been loving. It wasn't until my father died that she began to become depressed and finally crushed by longing. ”

"Before she died, my mother took my hand and said that the biggest regret in her life was that after my father died, she sold the little emerald hairpin she wore on her head when she married her father," he suddenly turned his head to look at her and smiled, "So, I want to create a unique emerald hairpin for my beloved, so that she can wear this beautiful hairpin to marry me." ”

She looked at the extremely rare smiling face, touched the hairpin on her head in a daze, and seemed to drop something in her heart, which was extremely sweet.

It's just that the senior brother secretly studied the matter of Diancui and soon became known to the master.

"Makusai stipulates that disciples are not allowed to learn the art of Diancui in private," the master clenched the ruler and fell to the back of the kneeling man on the ground with a "snap", "You kid is bold, you actually use duck feathers as such a noble emerald feather, do you know that you are insulting our Makusai's Diancui craft." ”

"Bang" a few times, the ring ruler hit Yang Chimu's body hard, he just kept silent, and let the ring ruler fall on his body wantonly.

Fuping was shocked, and one of them threw himself to protect him, and fell on her back with a "snap". It turned out that being hit by this ring ruler was so painful, numb into the bones, and then bursts of pain hit the flesh and blood.

"Fuping, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't get involved." Chi Mu's expressionless face finally moved, and he pushed her away on his back, but she hugged her tighter.

"Fuping, if you don't get out of the way, Hugh blames the teacher for beating you together."

"Why has nothing to do with me, you gave me your first hairpin." She protected Yang Chimu behind her, and looked firmly at the old man who was slowly angry, "Master, you fight, I said that I would not abandon my senior brother." ”

"Okay, since your two brothers are so united, it's no wonder that you are teachers."

"Bang" The two boards fell, Yang Chi listened to the shouts of the person on her back, and she lowered the heavy boards. He looked at the junior brother who still wanted to come over and file the ring ruler for himself, and suddenly his heart sank, grabbed the ring ruler dropped by the master, and said in a deep voice: "If I can't learn the craftsmanship of Diancui, I, Yang Chimu, would rather quit the curtain and never touch the carving knife." ”

She stared at the extremely calm senior brother in front of her, and at that moment, she seemed to feel that nothing could shake him.

"Master, Fuping, please," she suddenly knelt down and looked up at the Yan Master, "Then pass on the craftsmanship of Diancui to Senior Brother, his mother's biggest regret before dying was to give her Diancui hairpin, and use the money to let my senior brother enter the Shogunate." She also said in the end, 'I hope you can make the little green hairpin the expectation of a rich woman, instead of a dazzling phoenix crown'. ”

"That's right, senior brother."

At this time, Chi Mu realized that he had lacked that sincerity over the years. He looked at Fuping and smiled, let go of the ring ruler he was holding, and kowtowed heavily on his knees.

"Master, the disciple is wrong, a mistake is not to ignore the rules of the shogunate, and privately study the Diancui technique."

"It's wrong again, it's not sincere enough to treat Diancui," another bang fell.

"Bang" and knock again, "The three mistakes are in the original intention of being blinded by my own persistence, not only forgetting the spirit of the craftsman who insists on conservation, but also disrespecting the master." ”

"You can teach you," he took back the ruler, touched the hair on the side of his mouth and sighed long, "You should be grateful to this monkey, if it weren't for him, let alone some Cui's craftsmanship, I wouldn't even bother to teach you the craftsmanship of the carving knife." ”

"Thank you, master," Cui Fuping heard this, and hurriedly pulled him to kneel and bow, "Then when does the master plan to teach his brother Cui's craftsmanship?" ”

"Senior brother, this is the sixth bottle of medicine, where can I use it?"

She looked at the five medicine bottles of different shapes neatly placed on the table, and then glanced at his hand, "Hey! It's really not the same every day. I said, brother, my injuries have healed early, and you have come so diligently, when I have broken my hand or broken foot, I have to take care of it like this? ”

"What phoenix crown xia, that day, you made it up that even I had to believe it" His hand was put on Fuping's shoulder, and the man "squeaked" and frowned, "It's still hard-mouthed, take off your clothes, I'll look at the wound." ”

"Huh?" She looked at him with wide eyes, and waved her hand again and again, "No, don't bother Senior Brother, I'll apply it myself in a while, I'll take this medicine first." ”

"Grinding and chirping, isn't it that the bruises that have not been left have not been dispersed?" He threw away her hand that wanted to take the medicine, and one stepped forward to unseal her waist, "Senior brother is not the tiger and leopard that eats people, why are you so nervous?" ”

She subconsciously stepped back, desperately protecting her clothes with both hands, and said with two crimson spots: "Men and women, men and women don't kiss or not, if the senior brother is a woman, I don't mind helping you untie your clothes or something." ”

As soon as these words came out, the man turned and walked out the door, and after walking a few steps, he found that he still had a waist seal in his hand, and folded it back again. When he pushed the door, he saw that the man quickly put on his clothes again, but he still saw two bruised lines on the snow-white part of his shoulder.

"I forgot to pay you back"

Yang Chimu put down the waist seal and went out, and as soon as he took the door with his hand, he heard the question inside, "Did the master teach you?" ”

"Well, I just didn't worry about you coming over to take a look. Now it seems that whether you come or not, you monkey has never made me feel relieved. ”

The memories are vivid, Cui Fuping looked at the people sitting on the steps, the light moonlight sprinkled down, and shouted: "Senior brother"

Yang Chi's angular face looked at her and smiled helplessly, "You monkey ......"

"Never bothered you," she said, and sat down next to him, taking a drink from her self-pourer.

"It's all about care, it's chaotic, and sure enough. You shut myself up for a few days, and I drank here alone for a few days. Yang Chimu raised his head and finished drinking, looking at the bright moon, "I still remember when I first arrived at the curtain house, I knelt at the door for two days and two nights before the master agreed to accept me as an apprentice. ”

"What did you say about the old man?" He drank a cup and seemed to see the moonlight of the night when he knelt at the door of the shogunate.

"It's very simple, I'll just say that I won't learn some emerald crafts even if I die, if I want to inherit some emerald hairpins, let the kid at the door learn," she suddenly smiled proudly, "What do you think, how can the master ask for a person who is thirsty for talent, and how can he refuse you." ”

She smiled brightly, but the lonely back suddenly appeared in front of her. At that time, she was very heroic and decided to come to Makusai to learn art, but she saw a face at the door that looked at death as if she were at home, which made her, a person who was overly cared for by the family, want to warm this young man who is immersed in the eternal night.

So, when the old man looked approvingly at the jade pendant she had carved, she said innocently: "If your old man refuses to accept the man at the door as an apprentice, I will not apprentice." ”

"The old man has always hated others threatening me the most," he stuffed the jade pendant back and snorted coldly, "I don't know how to respect my elders at a young age, no matter how talented you are, I won't accept such a rampant person who is ashamed to speak out." ”

"Oh, I saw a young man kneeling at the gate of the shogunate, either the shogunate was bullying or being kicked out by some pretentious people. This elder who doesn't love his children so much, I don't need to respect him anymore. Also, I'm not a threat, I'm a deal. She tossed the jade pendant, and the jade flashed in mid-air and a bright white light fell back into her hand, "If you don't recruit apprentices in this little shogun, those high-ranking officials and nobles will be impatient." Even if your craftsmanship is good, no matter how good your skills are, if you go it alone, you will have to complete three fulcrum emerald hairpins, two jade pendants, and a pair of arm pendants within a month, I'm afraid it's a bit far-fetched, right? ”

"You kid is prepared," he smoothed his beard and began to re-examine the smug little boy in front of him, "You mean, as long as I take the kid at the door as an apprentice, you will engrave two jade pendants for me?" ”

"If you're willing to teach him the craft, I wouldn't mind adding a pair of arms."

In this way, she won the favor of the old gentleman with two jade pendants and a pair of arm pendants. A month later, I visited him with a teacher, and we learned the craft with Mr. Makusai, and it was a few years.

Yang Chimu looked at Cui Fuping who was smirking on the side, and only felt that the master didn't want to miss the talent of carving jade in front of him, so he had nothing to say for a while, and sighed long, "That's it, you are used to being free, if you hate it and don't learn." ”

In the middle of a few words, Fuping had already drunk a pot of wine, poured it on his shoulder with great strength, abandoned his hand and poured the pot gently on his face, looked at him with a confused look, and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?" ”

As soon as he spoke, the hand slipped down his face, and the hand where his head was resting heavily on him fell firmly to his lap. He looked at the sleeping man, gently stroked his cheek with the back of his hand, and said alone: "You can say that a man can accept a kiss or not, but I don't know, the person who hopes that the other party is a woman is me." ”
