"I'll guess it's you." Dongfang Luming came out of the inner room with a smile, probably hearing the sound of the door opening. Except for himself, the only people who can have the password to his courtyard are Huo Jun and the patriarch of the Dongfang family. And according to his understanding of the patriarch of the family, he will never come to look for him unless he has to, and even before he comes to find him, he will definitely come to call to inform him. Only Huo Jun never greets each other. Even if Dongfang Luming is not at home, Yi Huo Jun's temperament will make tea and drink it happily before leaving.

"What? Bring your little girlfriend to recognize my door? "Dongfang Luming is not a good stubble, he has always been used to speaking straightforwardly, not to mention that in front of Huo Jun, he is even more unscrupulous. Xi Yizheng wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this. But he still politely saluted.

"Where, this is a good apprentice for you." Huo Jun let her feel free, and at the same time said lightly to Dongfang Luming, he was used to Dongfang's disposition of not playing cards according to the rules. Naturally, I don't take it to heart.

"Huh? In vain? What does it mean? Dongfeng Luming circled around Xi Yizheng and asked curiously.

"Aren't you looking for a successor? She just wants to learn your craft," Huo Jun explained as he walked to the tea cabinet on the other side of the hall and began to brew Tieguanyin, which he had always liked. turned around and asked Xi Yizheng what she was drinking, and seeing that she didn't ask for it, she simply drank Tieguanyin together.

"Yay? She? Dongfang Luming turned his head in surprise after listening to Huo Jun's explanation and asked, "But it still looks like a student?" ”

"Uh, yes, I'm only a sophomore in high school after the summer vacation." Xi Yizheng touched his nose and explained. Her status as a student made her unable to show her hands and feet many times.

"Are you sure you want to learn jade carving?" Dongfang Luming changed his face to a serious face and asked the seat to the zither.

"Yes. To be precise, I want to learn jadeite carving. Xi Yizheng nodded and answered his question in the affirmative. Jade is too wide, and all she wants to learn at the moment is jade carving.

Dongfang Luming rubbed his chin, stared at her for a while, and then nodded: "Okay, let's follow along for a while." Maybe after a while, the hard work and tediousness of carving will make you disappointed in this industry. Naturally, they will give up. ”

Xi Yizheng did not refute his suspicions and nodded. She only has ideas and plans to move towards this direction at the moment, and now that she has chosen the path, she will stick to it. As for how far it will go, no one can guess at this time. It can only be said that it is natural.

Seeing that Huo Jun handed over the teacup, Xi Yizheng took a cup, presented it to Dongfang Luming with both hands, "Teacher, please drink tea!" "Drinking this cup of tea is considered an apprenticeship.

Dongfang Luming didn't shirk, took the teacup and drank it all, "Okay, I don't have any other rules here." But since you have worshiped the teacher, the learning tasks that should be there are still pressed on you, so you can't cry bitterness! He didn't think a high school girl could stand the boredom and tediousness of carving. At the same time, he took off the jade pendant on the placket of the Tang costume and handed it to Xi Yizheng, "I don't have anything good to give you, so this jade pendant will be used as a meeting gift." ”

"Thank you, teacher!" Xi Yizheng took the jade pendant with both hands, and a wave of aura came to his face, a familiar feeling. Xi Yizheng was puzzled for a while. It seems that I have never sensed such a strong breath. But I couldn't remember it for a while. She brushed aside the weirdness of her heart, put away the jade pendant, and planned to go back and think about it carefully.

"I just want to pass on the carving techniques that I have developed myself. Do you have any other plans? Dongfang Luming was straightforward.

Xi Yizheng nodded, and then said what she thought in her heart: "Teacher, I want to learn to solve the stone first." After a pause, she continued: "I got two pieces of wool from Tengchong gambling stones before, and I also got one today, but they have not yet been unraveled, I want to learn to solve stones to unravel them, and then learn carving skills, and carve them into jade ornaments by hand." ”

"Well, it's good that you have such a plan. The calcite tools are all in the left atrium, and you can use whatever you want. As for carving, just wait until you are proficient in calcing and then start learning it systematically. Dongfang Luming did not object to her plan, but also agreed with her proposal, and would definitely take the wool obtained by gambling on the stone more seriously. It's better to solve the green, and if you can't solve the green, it will be regarded as a practice, and the horizontal and vertical will not be wasted.

"Okay, I'll bring all the wool from home another day. Oh, by the way, why don't you move that piece in the car first? Thinking that the piece of wool full of aura was lying in Huo Jun's trunk, Xi Yizheng suggested with great interest. The thought of trying to unravel the jadeite with my own hands made me extremely excited.

"Done. I'm going to move in. Huo Jun nodded and went out to carry the big piece of wool. How did you become a porter? He couldn't figure it out. However, introducing her to study here was his own suggestion, and there was nothing to worry about. At the beginning, I did think carefully: once she studied at Dongfang Luming, she would naturally have more opportunities to get along with her. However, now that she is really willing to worship the East as a teacher, and her interest in jadeite is so strong, her careful thinking has gradually faded. Let's go with the flow, he thought.

"This room will be yours from now on." Dongfang Luming took Xi Yizheng to the wing room on the right side of the hall, which was originally a guest room and study, but it seemed to have been idle for a long time, and it was estimated that no one would come to stay overnight.

"Teacher, my house is far away from here, can I come over every weekend after school starts?" The western suburbs of Beijing are more than 40 kilometers away from the east of Chang'an Avenue, and it takes at least one and a half hours to walk from home to the subway station, and then take the subway to the nearby station here. Xi Yizheng calculated, in this case, he would definitely not be able to come over every day after going to school. It's really time to think about learning to drive, and buy a car as soon as you get your driver's license at the age of 18.

"Okay, as long as you are willing to put your heart into learning, you can naturally explore and consolidate at home." Dongfang Luming agreed without hesitation. She is a student, and of course she has to focus on her studies. Jadeite carving is not something that can be mastered in a while. That's a long stream. If she had given up her studies and followed herself to learn jade carving, her parents would have come to her door and beat her up. I finally found an apprentice who could be carved, but I didn't want to lose it in vain.

After cleaning the rest room assigned to him and settling the piece of wool, Xi Yizheng left Dongfang Luming's house with Huo Jun. Make an appointment to come over the next day and start the class. There are still three weeks left in the summer vacation, and you can systematically learn calcite and elementary carving techniques.

At dinner that day, Xi Yizheng announced that he had worshiped Dongfang Luming as a teacher to learn jadeite carving, and received unanimous support from the Xi family. However, Xi's mother was worried that she was too tired to go back and forth to the western suburbs to learn art by subway every day, and she was not at ease, so she asked Xi Yixiao to pick her up every day. Xi Yizheng was relaxed. On the way back before, Huo Jun offered to pick her up. Although she politely refused on the spot, it was obvious that the reason was not sufficient, but now that she was good, with the shield of her eldest brother, she could decline Huo Jun's kindness with peace of mind. Although I don't understand why Huo Jun is so polite or even enthusiastic to himself, there is always no harm in the embankment point. She thought to herself.
