"What should I do, sister, you have to find a way to save me, sister." Ji Yunting pulled his sister's sleeve and begged.

"What can I do? I can't conjure you up an identical Jade Buddha. Ji Yunyun was very irritable, thinking that the two sisters and brothers were not on the same page as the Jade Buddha, before she was slandered and smashed the Jade Buddha that the old lady liked, and was punished to live in Zhuangzi for a year, and now it is Ji Yunting who broke the Jade Buddha to give to the old lady. It's not that they are in conflict with the Jade Buddha, it is estimated that the old lady has no fate with the Jade Buddha.

Ji Yunyun thought nonsense, Ji Yunting was messing around with a way, "Sister, can you find someone to carve a similar jade Buddha again?" Grandmother hadn't seen it, so she probably wouldn't have found out. ”

"Grandmother can't find out, and you can't find out when you're the second uncle? Where is Mr. Yu's craftsmanship so easy to pretend, unless you find someone who ...... with his craftsmanship" Ji Yunyun said this, she suddenly asked Ji Yunting, "Is there any jade material left for carving the jade Buddha that the second uncle bought from the South China Sea?" ”

Ji Yunting thought for a while and replied: "It's left, I remember that I bought a big piece at that time, and it seems that it was only half used to carve the Jade Buddha." ”

"Let's go, let's go to Bitong Temple." Ji Yunyun got up from the couch after hearing this, put on his shoes and pulled Ji Yunting outside.

"Sister, have you thought of a way? Sister, what have you thought of? Ji Yunting chased after her and asked in a loud voice.

Ji Yunlan was trying out the two new clothes that had just come over in the house, when she heard the maid come in and tell her that Ji Yunyun and Ji Yunting were here.

"Strange, what are the two of them doing here?" Ji Yunlan took a look in front of the dressing mirror, took it off with satisfaction, changed into homely clothes, and then went out and asked people to call them in.

"Today is the sun beating in the west, what are you two sisters and brothers doing here?" Let the maid serve tea, Ji Yunlan looked at Ji Yunyun and Ji Yunting curiously.

Ji Yunyun's face was serious, and he said solemnly: "Third sister, I have something to ask for today." ”

"Do you have something to ask me?" Ji Yunlan raised her eyebrows in surprise, then propped her chin with a look of interest, "Let's hear it." ”

Seeing that there were only a few of them and Ji Yunlan's personal maid in the room, Ji Yunyun told Ji Yunting about breaking the Jade Buddha in the second uncle's study.

"You...... You actually smashed the Jade Buddha that you were going to give to your grandmother? After hearing this, Ji Yunlan stared at Ji Yunting with wide eyes, "My father will kill you if he finds out." ”

Ji Yunting cried with a sad face, "I know ......"

"What are you asking me to do? It's hard for me to help you hide it, but the Jade Buddha has been shattered, and it's useless to hide it. Ji Yunlan looked at Ji Yunyun puzzled.

"It's useful, you just need to re-carve an identical jade Buddha before the second uncle comes back." Ji Yunyun said.

Something happened to the Zhuangzi of the Guogong Mansion in Yuzhou, and the second uncle went over to deal with it a few days ago, and he won't come back until a month later.

"Exactly the same? What you think is too simple, it was carved by Mr. Yu, can you ask Mr. Yu to help you carve it immediately? No kidding, impossible. Ji Yunlan pouted.

"If you don't invite Mr. Yu, others can do it." Ji Yunyun smiled at her, "I only need the remaining half of the jade material that the second uncle used at the beginning." ”

Ji Yunlan looked at her in disbelief, "Others? Where will others have Mr. Yu's craftsmanship, and you are not afraid of being discovered? ”

"I know a person whose craftsmanship is not inferior to Mr. Yu. As long as you help bring that piece of jade and help us keep it secret. Ji Yunyun said.

Seeing that she was so sure, Ji Yunlan was a little skeptical, and lowered her eyes to think.

"Third sister, you can help me, can you bear to see me being beaten by my second uncle?" Ji Yunting pleaded with him.

"It's okay to ask me for help, how can you thank me for such a big favor?" Ji Yunlan rolled her eyes and asked with a smile.

"In the future, as long as I can do what you ask for, I will not refuse." Knowing that it was not easy to get Ji Yunlan to help, Ji Yunyun gritted her teeth and said.

"Okay, deal, remember what you said today." Ji Yunlan listened, her eyes lit up, she clapped her hands, and readily agreed.

Ji Yunyun added: "Then in addition to giving us the jade material, you also have to help prevent the second aunt and the rest of the people in the mansion from knowing that the Jade Buddha was broken." ”

"No problem, I'll watch over the study and don't let people in, when my father comes back and asks, I'll help you prevaricate, you can rest assured." Ji Yunlan waved her hand and asked, "By the way, when do you want the jade material?" ”

"The sooner the better, preferably today." Ji Yunyun said.

"Okay, you go back, I'll have someone send it to you in the afternoon." Ji Yunlan nodded.

Coming out of Ji Yunlan, Ji Yunting asked his sister uneasily, "Sister, do you really know that someone's craftsmanship is as good as Mr. Yu's?" ”

"Naturally, I can't lie to you?" Ji Yunyun glared at her younger brother, "If you can get through the trick this time, you will be honest with me in the future, and you will never skip school all day and get into trouble, you know?" ”

"Yes, yes." Ji Yunting nodded as if the chicken pecked rice, and said flatteringly: "If I can not let the second uncle and grandmother know this time, I will listen to my sister in the future." ”

Ji Yunyun snorted and ignored him with a straight face.

Ji Yunlan was talking, and as soon as she woke up after a rest, Ji Yunlan asked the maid to send a small ebony box over.

Fortunately, the jade Buddha carved by the second uncle was not too big, only half an arm long, she said to Ji Yunting, and then took the spring peach, carried the small ebony box and got into the carriage and went out.

The craftsmanship of carving jade is not inferior to Mr. Yu's, and she also happened to know it in her previous life. It was a time when she went to King An's Mansion to see Princess An, and saw a middle-aged man in his forties coming out of the palace and chatting with the little maid in the palace, only to know that the man was Mr. Yu's junior brother and a master of jade carving.

It takes about an hour or so from the capital to Yunyang County, and in order to be able to rush back before dark, out of the city gate, Ji Yunyun asked the coachman to speed up.

Ji Yunyun had only seen that person once, knew that person's surname was Fang, and didn't know what his name was and where he lived in detail. Therefore, after arriving in Yunyang County, I had to ask people on the road whether I knew a Mr. Fang who was good at carving jade.

Fortunately, Mr. Fang was not hiding in this county, and after asking the time of the incense, he asked where he lived, in a quiet alley.

There are several families living in the alley, and two of them have their courtyard doors wide open, and a few children are playing in the doorway. According to the instructions of the passers-by, the carriage stopped at the door of a closed house in the middle, and the coachman jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the door, but no one came out to answer.

"Girl, there seems to be no one at home." The coachman walked over to the carriage and said inside.

No one? Ji Yunyun frowned and motioned for Chun Tao to help her get off the carriage. Seeing that there were two little girls playing at the gate of the yard next to her, one looked eight or nine years old, and the other was six or seven years old, she walked over and asked the older little girl softly, "Excuse me, do you know where the people in the yard next to me have gone?" ”

The two little girls looked up at Ji Yunyun and were stunned, and after a while, the older little girl replied, "Uncle Fang...... Uncle Fang should have gone fishing by the river. ”

"Where is the river, can you take me there?" Ji Yunyun asked her with a slight smile.

"Hmm." The little girl looked at her and nodded with bright eyes.

took the little girl into the carriage and slowly walked out of the alley. Seeing the carriage walking away, the six- or seven-year-old girl shouted while running home: "Mother, a sister who looks as good as a fairy has come to find Uncle Fang, and my sister has taken her to the river." ”

The river that the little girl said was not far from the alley, and when she arrived at the place, she followed the direction pointed by the little girl, and saw under a willow tree not far away, two men in cloth shirts with hats sitting together, both holding fishing rods in their hands, and wooden barrels beside them, both of them staring intently at the river.

As soon as the little girl got out of the carriage, she pedaled towards the two of them, and shouted in her mouth: "Uncle Fang, there is a good-looking sister looking for you." ”

The two people fishing by the river turned around and saw Ji Yunyun who got off the car behind the little girl, and the man on the left looked at her and the carriage twice, so he put away the fishing rod, lifted the barrel, pressed the eaves of the hat, and said, "Someone is looking for you, I'll go back first." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

Ji Yunyun walked in front of Mr. Fang, she could only see the back of the person leaving, she only glanced away and looked away, and said to Mr. Fang with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Fang is good at carving jade, so I came here to ask for help." ”

"Who did you listen to?" Mr. Fang didn't look back, staring at the fishing rod in the water and asked.

"A friend." Ji Yunyun vaguely passed, and complimented with a smile: "My friend said that Mr. Fang's carving skills are superb, and also said that the most difficult jade can be carved out of the same or even even more as long as Mr. Fang takes a look, even Mr. Yu, the most famous carving saint today, is not as good as you." ”

In the last life, she listened to the little maid chatting about some things about this Mr. Fang, saying that he was very arrogant and proud of his skills, and although Mr. Yu was a senior brother, he had always been at odds, thinking that Mr. Yu's skills were not as good as his own, so he liked others to praise him for being better than Mr. Yu.

Sure enough, hearing Ji Yunyun's compliments, Mr. Fang's face became happy, he turned his head to look at her, and said, "Your friend is very discerning. ”

Ji Yunyun pursed her lips and smiled, "Can Mr. Fang help me carve a jade Buddha?" I heard that the jade Buddha carved by Mr. Yu is unparalleled in the world, and I think that Mr. Fang's carved Buddha must be more unique than Mr. Yu's, but Mr. Fang disdains these floating names. ”

"The little girl is very good at complimenting, from the capital?" Mr. Fang asked slowly, putting away the fishing rod.

Ji Yunyun nodded, skipped the middle details, and briefly said some reasons, "Well, my grandmother is going to celebrate her birthday, and my grandmother believes in Buddhism, so I want to carve a jade Buddha and give it to the old man on the day of the birthday banquet." ”

"It's quite filial, come back with me." Mr. Fang put away the fishing rod, picked up the wooden bucket, and walked home, while Ji Yunyun hurriedly followed with Chun Tao.
