After dinner, Bai Han would excuse himself from sleepiness, go back to his room, turn off the light, and enter the space. Bai Ling is not interested in medicine, and often goes to the bottom of the lake to fish out some beautiful jade to play with, thinking that it will be no problem to open his own jewelry company in the future.

Now Bai Ling is playing with Xiao Pitian every day, and he says anything to Xiao Pitian. This little pitiful, as if he could understand Bai Han's words, nodded or shook his head as the things described by Bai Ling changed. On Sunday, Bai Ling continued to wander around the antique street, and saw a large plaque on the top of the door of a store, Cuishi Fang. Not only does it sell jewelry, but it also helps people carve things on the spot. Bai Ling looks interesting, the things in the space, he is still small, he can't take them out and sell them, if he can learn to carve, not to be able to make the best use of the things inside, which is also preparing for opening a jewelry company in the future. The consultant who did it in his previous life knew that jewelry, as long as your thing is real, rare and precious, and properly publicized, it will make a steady profit.

Bai Ling saw that there were many people who bought jadeite or something on the spot, and found the blind carver on the spot and carved on the spot. A piece of Guanyin statues, cabbage, zodiac jade pendants, from the two hidden hands came out, very exquisite.

Bai Ling had nothing to do, so he found a corner where he could see the carving master and carving things, and stood there, curious without even blinking his eyes. Knowing that it was dark, the number of people in the shop gradually decreased, the carving master patted the debris on his body, raised his head, and saw that not far away, there was a female baby staring at herself intently, from behind Bai Ling, there was also a goose head, which looked a bit like a goose, let's just think it was a goose.

The carver is about fifty years old, surnamed Zheng, everyone calls him Master Zheng, because he is blind in one eye, he uses an eyepatch to cover it, a bit like a Caribbean pirate, with thin facial features and a long figure, when he stands up and walks around, he knows that his left foot is disabled and limping.

Seeing Bai Ling, he was only slightly stunned, and he packed up his things and no longer looked at Bai Ling.

Bai Ling felt that this person must have real kung fu, and the things carved out today made a lot of money just for the engraving costs. If you can worship him as a teacher, it will be good. In addition, Bai Ling does not want to be a so-called genius child. I just want to come step by step and accompany my mother. But in the school curriculum, Bai Ling doesn't need to learn at all, he has a lot of time, so he must find something to do for himself and cultivate a hobby. So Bai Ling ran over, pulled the hem of the carver's clothes, and called out pitifully: "Master, can you teach me carving?" Bai Ling took out a handful of White Rabbit toffee from his pocket, "This is my apprenticeship!" ”

Master Zheng was speechless, and he didn't take the candy, but under Bai Ling's eager gaze, he said, "Eat it yourself!" I don't like sugar. The implication is that he is not prepared to be a disciple of Bai Ling.

Bai Lingbei has no characteristics, after being reborn, he is patient, and he does not force it, tilting his head and asking, "Master, are you still here tomorrow?" ”

The old man, who would not speak for a day, rarely met a child and answered himself, although he was not ready to accept apprentices, but he was still patient and replied: "I work here, and I am here every day!" ”

That's good, Bai Ling packed the white rabbit toffee, ran the monk, couldn't run the temple, anyway, it's not far from my house, every day when I come back from school, I'll pester you, don't entangle one day.

"Oh!" Bai Ling nodded matter-of-factly, "Then I'll come back to you tomorrow!" He turned and left, followed by a waddling little pitiful. When he was about to leave the room, Bai Ling turned his head, "My family has no money, and I can't afford to give a valuable apprenticeship." ”

Master Zheng thought that this little girl had given up, but he didn't expect Bai Ling to say this, shook his head, smiled, and didn't speak.

Since then, Bai Ling has exerted his pestering skills, reporting every day, not going anywhere else, usually waiting for Bai Han to come and find him. Every time, Bai Ling would bring his so-called apprenticeship, a piece of snacks, a few pieces of sugar, chrysanthemum cake and other snacks. But most of the time, that thing went into Bai Ling's stomach. When I arrived at someone's store, I found a corner that was out of the way, looked at Master Zheng, and carved jade. Sometimes I was tired, so I would take a small horse in advance and put it there, and I would sit for two or three hours. However, Bai Ling is not idle, while eating, he will see Master Zheng's carving techniques, as well as the guests who come and go.

As the saying goes, Master Zheng, who has been stared at by the little girl for more than half a year, saw that Bai Ling was very patient and persevering, and he ignored him and waited for so long. Although learning carving requires talent, the acquired effort and perseverance are even more important, so I appreciate Bai Ling's heart.

After Master Zheng finished carving the guy in his hand, there were not many guests, he looked up at Bai Ling and asked, "Little girl, what do you see after looking at it for so long?" ”

Bai Ling knew that this Master Zheng would sooner or later be unable to stand his lantern-like eyes staring, so he couldn't help but take his own hands as an apprentice, and replied with a smile: "Master, I have a name, my surname is Bai, and a single name is a spirit character." "Scratching his head, thinking for a while," Xiao Ling saw that the master was going to accept Bai Ling as an apprentice. ”

This Master Zheng was almost choked by this little baby's words, he wanted to ask her, after watching it for half a year, he saw what kind of way the carving was, and then tested the talent of the little baby. Seeing Master Zheng's face twitch, Bai Ling wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he quickly took out a piece of white rabbit from the bag, opened the candy paper outside, and stuffed it into Master Zheng's slightly open mouth in surprise.

Bai Ling laughed very unscrupulously: "Master, you have accepted my apprenticeship, and we will be masters and apprentices from now on." ”

Master Zheng wanted to spit out the sugar, but Bai Ling shouted: "Wasting food will be damned!" Schadenfreude smiled, like a little fox who had only been cheapened and had to sell well.

This Master Zheng used to be hungry, so he couldn't help but spit out the sugar, but a large part of the reason may be attracted by Bai Ling's eccentric personality. Since this little girl is going to apprentice, every day and watching herself carve, even a stone will be covered with heat. In addition, the apprentice has been confiscated for a long time, and this one is the last apprentice. No matter what the talent is, but it's right on your own spleen and stomach.

"Then can you come over every afternoon from now on?" Master Zheng asked with a calm face, since you have accepted it, you must discipline it strictly, and you can't be lazy.

Bai Ling knew that Master Zheng had acquiesced, raised his right hand, and said with a guarantee: "Master, Xiao Ling has to go to school during the day, and he will leave school at half past three in the afternoon, and he can come here at four o'clock, and he will come over every day, rain or shine." ”

Master Zheng nodded, from Bai Ling's "entanglement" in the past half a year, it can be seen that this little girl is not an ordinary person, and she comes over every day. Even if he has something to ask for leave, he will come and go around, this is what the salesman in the hall told him later, and in private, he also persuaded to accept Bai Ling.

The next day, when Bai Ling arrived, Master Zheng had already prepared a set of carving tools, as well as a few small stones, and Bai Ling's apprenticeship began. Zhao Lingyun, who is in junior high school, comes to visit his grandfather Zhao Datou every Sunday, and often comes to play with Bai Han. After a few flutters, I knew that I had learned carving. So occasionally I would go over there to play, and before Wu Bin left, he told Zhao Lingyun to take good care of Bai Ling.

"Xiao Bailing, when did you learn to carve? That day, I also carved a jade pendant for Brother Lingyun, Guanyin is like something! As soon as Zhao Lingyun arrived at the Cuishi Fang, he saw Bai Ling sitting on top of the small maza, holding a knife in his left hand and a small stone in his right hand, carving there according to the edge line drawn before.

Bai Ling didn't even raise his eyes, and said with a sneer: "Brother Lingyun, you are really a coincidence, I can finally carve a pendant in the shape of a puppy today, and I will give it to you later." Although he was talking, he didn't stop in his hand, and after half an hour's effort, a little stone dog came out vividly.

"Who are you fooling! Are you embarrassed to give me a stone? Zhao Lingyun looked disdainful, too small.

Looking at Zhao Lingyun's annoying face, although he knew that he was joking, he still wanted to slap him as always, and shouted: "Brother, when I am a big money, this jade is very expensive, and I can't get a jade the size of a small finger if I sell it!" As he spoke, Bai Ling stretched out his left and right thumbs and put them on the tips of his little fingers, proving that he was very expensive and poor.

"Haha" came the laughter of a child and teenager during the change of voice, a boy in a very elaborate suit came in, Bai Ling visually judged, this child should be about the same age as Zhao Lingyun, about fourteen years old.

"This puppy is good, with your talent, you may be able to become a master carver in the future. Young master, I'll give you a piece of jade, how about changing it for you? The young man asked kindly, with the face of a little capitalist.

Zhao Lingyun smiled crookedly, originally wanted to joke with Bai Ling, watching the little girl eat deflated, she was in a good mood.

"Young Master, why are you here?" The person who resembled the store manager inside came over and asked, seeing if there was only one person resembling the driver behind the boy, before he calmed down.

The muscles on Bai Ling's face stiffened today, the corners of his mouth twitched again, and another one had a convulsion, he really thought it was the old rich man in the old society who bought the maid!

"Only carved in stone, don't pull it down!" Bai Ling made a gesture to put away the freshly carved puppy, but was snatched by Zhao Lingyun.

"Although it is a stone, for the sake of your sincerity, I will reluctantly accept it." Zhao Lingyun had already put the stone puppy into the bag and made the boy pounce.

The little boy rolled his eyes thoughtfully, then looked at Bai Ling and said, "I'm Li Zidong, this shop is opened by our family!" What about the two of you? ”

Zhao Lingyun smiled with white teeth and replied, "It's nice to meet you, I'm Zhao Lingyun, a friend of this little girl!" By the way, the little girl's name is Bai Ling, we all call her Little Bai Ling, or lark, squatting behind him, the stupid goose that is not in the middle of winter is called Xiao Pitiful. ”

Zhao Lingyun looked at this little boy, dressed well, his family must be extraordinary, and his long-term family edification made Zhao Lingyun unhurried, polite and witty self-introduction.
