Ziqing looked up and saw that it was Wen San and Lin Kangping who came, "Why are you two here?" It seems that the watermelon is also sold out, right? ”

"What words? Let's come to see you, the last time we came to see you, we knew that you went to the provincial capital, this is not estimated that you should come back, today I came to see you. Well, I've got a gift for you. Wen San stretched out his hand and opened a small box, in which lay a pair of beautiful jade butterflies, carved from thin white jade, surrounded by thin gold wires, very exquisite.

"It's not a New Year's Day, what kind of gift to give, besides, this gift is too expensive, I can't accept it." Ziqing glanced at Wen San, and then asked, "You shouldn't have stolen it from your mother, right?" ”

"You, you're angry with me, I just thought it was beautiful when I was walking on the street, so I bought it for you, a gift is a gift, do you have to pick a time to send it? I'm telling you, I'm going to start school tomorrow, and I, I'm not going to see you often. Wen San felt very aggrieved. The beautiful big eyes flickered and looked at Ziqing, and Ziqing almost softened. A man, why is he so beautiful?

"There are so many beautiful things, can I have them? Go and go, I'm going to cook, don't pestle here, Brother Ping, you take him to the study or hall to sit down, stay and eat today. I'll have something to ask you in a moment. Ziqing drove them into the hall.

Seeing that Ziqing's grandfather and grandmother and two aunts were sitting in the hall, Wen San and they said hello, Ziqing saw that they looked at themselves suspiciously, and then looked at Wen San, and hurriedly explained: "Grandpa, grandma, this is the son of the owner of Zhou's shopkeeper, from the capital, and he came here today for some things." ”

Ziqing knew that as soon as she said that Wen San was from the capital, Grandma and they shouldn't have any more thoughts, after all, the difference between the capital and the countryside where Ziqing is located is not half a point. This distance is far enough for them to look up, and sure enough, as soon as Ziqing finished speaking, Grandma and the others looked at Wen San differently. It should be said that it is awe, Ziqing is afraid that the two of them will find it inconvenient. asked Zishou to take him to the study.

Ziqing and Shen have been busy in the stove room, Ziqing has made a few more cold dishes, and I don't know that Wen San is sitting comfortably on the floor at the moment, watching Ziqing do most of the embroidery and make genuine products.

At the beginning of the year, Shen began to teach Ziqing to embroider on both sides. Ziqing's first work wanted to embroider for herself, so the embroidery was the scene of her and Zilu bowing their heads and learning to write with branches under the peach tree, and the little chick next to her was graffiti, for the sake of beauty. Ziqing embroidered all over the ground, has been embroidering for a long time, and the work is nearing completion. Wen San saw this embroidery. It was very novel, so he asked Zishou: "Is this your mother or your sister embroidered?" ”

"My sister, this is my sister and my second brother learning to write under the peach tree."

"I guessed that it was her, your sister is really good, she can embroider a painting if she learns a word. That's why she has this ingenuity. After Wen San finished speaking, he saw the pen, ink, and calligraphy on the low table. I moved over and looked at it, and the font turned out to be a little ugly, so I laughed and asked, "This shouldn't have been written by your sister, right?" It's really like a chicken planer. Come and see, Comping. ”

"Who else could she have? Her words are the worst in the family, and my father always talks about her. She just said that she would admit it, and she didn't plan to go out to take the exam. Dad can't help her. said that she learns to read and endorse everything quickly, but she doesn't like to write. It's not as good as me. When Zishou said this, he looked proud.

As he was talking, Ziqing came in with a plate of pear melons, the pear melons had been sliced, and there was a bamboo fork made by Ziqing on it, Ziqing first held up a piece and handed it to Lin Kangping, and then to Wen San, and asked, "What do you say?" So happy, I can hear your laughter in the stove room. ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I saw that your words really look like the chicken shavings you embroidered, it's so funny, I can't help it. I see you don't draw very well, do you? How can you write badly? Wen San asked, still laughing.

"What, it was drawn by my eldest brother, I just don't have time to practice calligraphy, what's so funny about this. Besides, I'm just a country girl, what's the use of writing so good words, it's better to do something else if you have time to practice calligraphy. Ziqing said.

"That's different, the handwriting is good, and it's also a person's face, if you have the opportunity to go out in the future, you will definitely be able to use it, is it possible that you really plan to nest in this village for the rest of your life? By the way, didn't you say you were looking for me? What's up? Wen San asked.

"That, isn't your family a big family in Anzhou? Do you know the master who makes jade in the silver building? It's the one who made the jade bracelet and jade jewelry, and the craftsmanship is better. ”

"What are you looking for them for? What are you going to buy? Wen San asked.

"No, I went out to buy a green jade this time, and I want to find the master to make something." Ziqing said as she moved a piece of jade from the corner.

"Green jade, why haven't I seen it? Are you sure it's jade? Wen San touched the stone and looked incredulous.

"Are you sure, can you find the master?" Ziqing asked.

"Yes, I have a silver building at home. If you're in a hurry, I'll take you there in the afternoon. Wen San said.

Ziqing was about to cheer when she heard this, but Zifu came in and asked, "Where are you going?" Qing'er, why don't you go to the stove room to help? ”

"Big brother, there is a master of jade in the Wen family, let's go to him in the afternoon, okay? Brother, you go with me, I'm afraid that my father and mother will be worried if I come back late. Ziqing grabbed Zifu's arm and shook it.

"It's okay, we'll send you back when we get back." Wen San said.

"That's not necessary, it's enough to trouble you, I'll go with my sister." After Zifu finished speaking, he turned to Ziqing and said, "Okay, I promise you, hurry up and help my mother prepare lunch." After Zifu finished speaking, he habitually rubbed Ziqing's hair and pushed her out.

Ziqing ran out to help set the meal and beckoned everyone to the table. The white chopped chicken is unanimously welcomed by everyone, especially Wen San, I heard that it is Ziqing's craftsmanship, which is very face-saving, and praises the deliciousness.

Tian likes light food the most, and complained: "There are so many people, and there are two pregnant women, this white chopped chicken is gone for one piece, and I don't know how to make one more." ”

Because there were outsiders, Shen had to agree. Ziqing hurriedly said: "When does Grandma want to eat, I'll just do it again, I didn't expect a guest to come to the house today, and everyone likes it so much, and the preparation is a little insufficient." ”

Tian thought that there were still outsiders at home, so he hurriedly changed his smile and said to Wen San: "This little young master, the countryside is naturally not as simple as the capital, it is too simple, I am really sorry, I didn't entertain it well." ”

Wen San and Lin Kangping were working the spicy fried field chicken, as well as the fragrant ham and loach soup, and after listening to Tian's words, they hurriedly said: "Where, Aunt Zeng's food is really fragrant, I haven't eaten this chili fried field chicken at home, and this ham soup, it's thick and delicious." ”

Even the little Ziyu said in a milky voice: "It's delicious." There was a burst of laughter.

Seeing this, Ziqing took the opportunity to say: "Father, mother, I will go to the city with my eldest brother in a while, Wen San has found me a master, I want to cut that stone to make something"

"Your brother should be ready to go to the state to study, you don't have anything to do to pull him. Also, if you want to call Young Master Wen, Wen San is also what you can call. Shen said.

Ziqing was about to speak, but Zifu spoke first: "Mother, don't worry, I'll accompany Qing'er, go early and return early." She's also on business. ”

"Yes, Aunt Zeng, don't worry, I will find them a good master and send them back." Wen San added.

Shen didn't say anything after hearing this, and after the meal was over, Ziqing helped Shen finish cleaning up, and then hurriedly pulled Zifu and urged Wen San to leave. This time, Ziqing was going to bring a stone over and wanted to make a few bracelets first. In the car, Wen San carefully asked Ziqing how he bought jade, and he said that if it was a high-quality jade, it would not be so cheap.

"This is shipped from a foreign country, no one knows here, the jade seller is in a hurry to use the silver, so he will sell it, I also bought a Western clock from him, now it is very convenient to see the time." Ziqing explained.

"I have that Western clock in my house, I don't think it's unusual, it's this jade, forget it, let's wait for the master to see it." Wen San still didn't believe that this was jade, but he couldn't bear to splash Ziqing's cold water. After all, following Ziqing for a while, he also knew that ten taels of silver was not a decimal number for the farmer.

Half an hour later, Wen San took them to the largest silver building in the street, Wen Ji, went in directly through the back door, found the master who was grinding jade in the workshop, and said, "Master Li, this stone annoys you with long eyes, is it jade?" ”

Master Li looked up at Wen San, greeted him respectfully, and then touched the stone to look left and right, and said, "In terms of feel, it is almost the same, it seems to be harder than white jade." I've never seen this color, is it going to do something? ”

"Master Li, you just use it as the best white jade to make, I want to ask how many bracelets you can make? The rest can be made into a step shake to do a step shake, can not be a step shake to make a hairpin, pendant, peace buckle, ring ring, in short, you will be regarded as a good sheep fat jade, don't waste it, I will give the salary according to the white jade. Ziqing said.

"You know what, what if it shatters at the touch of it?" Master Li asked.

"Don't worry, it won't, it's mine." Ziqing's confident appearance made Wen San look sideways.

Master Li had to take this job under Wen San's explanation, Ziqing was worried that he was in a hurry, and he didn't take this as a good thing, so he ruined the jade for himself, and specially explained that he was not in a hurry, and he could do the work of Yinlou first.

Coming out of the silver building, Wen San wanted to send them home, Zifu refused, and took Ziqing to quickly get on a donkey cart, Wen Sanmu sent them away, and then turned around and left with Lin Kangping. When I saw the box in the car, I hurriedly asked, "Didn't I put the box of this jade butterfly in her study?" How is it in the car again? ”

"I don't see when she put it in. It seems that she really doesn't want it. Lin Kangping said.

"Don't all the girls in the family like this? How could she not like it? I think she treats you better than me, you see that she calls you Brother Ping, and to me is Wen San, who is open and closed, and the pear melon is also handed to you first. Wen San complained.

"Young master, she is not one of those girls in the family. Young Master, will you go home next? Lin Kangping didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, and when he saw the young master treating her like this, his heart was sour. (To be continued)
