Chapter 8 Zhu Mian, who loves stones like life

"Stone, what kind of stone is it, virtuous nephew, if the stone you take out does not satisfy me, don't blame your uncle for not helping you," Zhu Mian stood up at a speed that did not fit his size.

"Come on, remove the banquet."

As soon as he talked about the stones, Zhu Mianjiu immediately woke up, and immediately asked his subordinates to clear the table.

Thinking that he was fond of stones, Emperor Huizong asked him to go to Suzhou to preside over the Ying Feng Bureau, which can be regarded as making the best use of things and making the best use of talents.

Every time he selected the Flower Stone Compendium for Emperor Huizong, Zhu Mian did it himself, and every stone was screened out by his extraordinary feeling for stones.

And Hua Shigang, who was transported to the capital, can be said to be holding a knife and cutting his own flesh, which made Zhu Mian, who was a stone-loving person, really painful.

As long as it is a stone, Zhu Mian can talk endlessly for a long time, but until now, the stones in the Great Song Dynasty can rarely make Zhu Mian interested.

"Don't worry, burp~ Uncle Zhu, I will definitely surprise you," Xiao He burped, forcibly kept a little sober, and took out the brocade box, Xiao He's heart was dripping blood, but for the real purpose of the next, it was still worth it, although he wanted to comfort himself, but he still pinched it in his heart.

As the brocade box opened, a fist-sized stone lay in the soft brocade. This is a gray-brown stone, the surface of the stone has been carefully cleaned and polished, several cracks lock the stone like a chain of horizontal and vertical chains, each crack is polished smooth, and the stone presents a round luster.

"That's it," Zhu Mian was still a little curious and expectant, but he didn't expect it to be such an ordinary stone, and sat back in his chair with a disappointed face.

Xiao He smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and picked up the stone.

"Of course it's not just that, if it's just an ordinary stone, how dare you show ugliness in front of Uncle Zhu and Master Stone."

"Oh, the virtuous nephew praised it, let the old man see what is magical."

Zhu Mian smiled all over his face, laughed at Xiao He's compliment, and sat up straight again, although the obese Zhu Mian made this action and sat down at all.

Xiao He slowly turned the stone around, but there were smooth and dark crystals in the middle of the gray-brown stone, as if it was an eyeball that opened without the whites of its eyes, only its pupils, dark and dark without a trace of impurities.

"It's a little interesting, it's still nothing special", Zhu Mian looked at the stone in front of him, still a little disappointed, "Wait, don't move." ”

Zhu Mian seemed to see something incredible, like a big horse monkey that only saw bananas galloping over, and with movements that did not match his figure, he neatly snatched the stone from Xiao He's hand, pointed the stone to the candlelight, opened his squinting eyes, and approached the stone.

"Hiss~"

"This, this is amazing," Zhu Mian got closer and closer, as if he wanted to burrow the whole person into a stone, and his mouth was still praising him, "It's so beautiful, I can't imagine that the ordinary appearance hides such a magnificent heart." ”

Zhu Miantou's head was getting closer and closer to the candlelight unconsciously, and Xiao He hurriedly grabbed it, otherwise it was estimated that there would be a blackened human-shaped pig's head later.

As the light shines into the stone, the candlelight seems to ignite the fire of life of the crystal, the distant and deep crystal blooms with the brilliance of life, just like the eyes of the ancient giant god left in the world, the dark crystal is like a sleeping baby, slowly opening the pure and immaculate eyes, and like after a storm, the clear lake reflects the willow forest full of vitality, fresh and natural, open your mind, stir your heart.

Xiao He retracted his reluctant gaze and looked at Zhu Mian, Zhu Mian's eyes showed a deep possessiveness, Xiao He nodded secretly, this move was right.

Zhu Mian clung to the stone, reluctant to look away, and said, "Virtuous nephew, your courtesy is too much for the old man's heart, say what's the matter, the old man will help you with this face." ”

"Old fox," Xiao He said secretly in his heart.

"Uncle Zhu said with a smile, how can any difficulty stump you!" Xiao He paused for a moment and glanced at Zhu Mian, who was happily playing with stones.

"Do you remember the last time you begged you to seek the county lieutenant for the two sect leaders of your little nephew?"

"It seems that there is such a thing, why is there an accident," Zhu Mian didn't raise his head, and gently rubbed the stone, little by little, as if caressing the tender skin of a peerless beauty.

Xiao He slapped his palms with a fan, "You said that it is not true, Uncle Zhu helped, and it was also regarded as the smoke from the ancestral graves of the two of them, but these two people had not been in office for a long time, and they couldn't stand the suffering, and from time to time they wrote to complain about their grievances, saying that the countryside is remote, vulgar and fart people, they don't know the national law, and they only obey the village rules, which is really unsatisfactory." ”

"That's... You're going to ......," Zhu Mian said.

"Alas, in fact, it's also my fault, the little nephew respects them as the little nephew's starting master, and they are filial piety on weekdays, and they are used to their bad problems."

"Alas, in the final analysis, the little nephew can't bear to let them suffer in the countryside, no, he doesn't have to work for anything, and he wants Uncle Zhu to get them into Jiangning Mansion, even if he is a small cell boss."

Xiao He put the ultimate goal together.

"Virtuous nephew, it's not Uncle Zhu who shirks it, if you let them enter other state capitals such as Suzhou and Hangzhou, the county governors will be up to you, but in Jiangning Mansion, Uncle Zhu can't do it."

Zhu Mian reluctantly put down the treasure stone in his hand and carefully put it back into the brocade box.

"Why is this," Xiao He was a little dumbfounded.

'This Zhu Mian is covering the sky in the Jiangnan area, and Jiangning Mansion can still refute his face, could it be ......'

Xiao He didn't continue to ask, but pointed to the stone in the brocade box and looked at Zhu Mian with a smile, "Uncle Zhu, what do you think of this stone." ”

Zhu Mian glanced at Xiao He and said secretly, "Little fox, it's really clever." ”

"Yes, yes, what do you say this person calls this baby," Zhu Mian touched his big belly, with a smile on his face, and followed Xiao He's words.

"O these men, call this treasure the eye of their Lord left on earth, the holy eye of the Lord."

"Hehe, these people will pretend to be ghosts, their eyes are pure and innocent, implying all kinds of emotions, and this stone, pure, moist, pure, transparent, contains the great avenue of the world," Zhu Mian shook his head and said a big truth, "I am very good at choosing a name, but now in my Great Song Dynasty, it is called Moyu." ”

The corners of Xiao He's mouth trembled, it was not a stone, if it weren't for the future generations to fry this stone to the sky, it would not allow a small border country to develop through this, but it is also really beautiful, so that people like him who don't understand stones can indulge in it.

Zhu Mian pretended to be casual and said, "Ah, it's so late, okay, virtuous nephew, you can go back first, the old man still has important things, and he will send off the guests." ”

Zhu Mian ignored Xiao He, grabbed the stone in his hand, found a reason at random, and drove people away.

"Don't, Uncle Zhu has something to discuss, our uncle and nephew haven't had a good drink yet," Xiao He was a little anxious, "Ya, old fox, he didn't play cards according to the routine, and after receiving the gift, he turned his face and didn't admit it, and drove people away." ’

"The little nephew is doing this favor, you must help, the little nephew patted his chest and agreed, otherwise, the little nephew will not have face."

"Well, okay, Uncle Zhu teased you, these two heads of yours, what's the situation." Zhu Mian patted Xiao He's shoulder and said.

"One is a stonemason, but he is quite literate, and the other is from the green forest, with excellent martial arts, and now he is serving as a county lieutenant in Gaoxixia County."

Xiao He looked helpless and hurriedly said.

"Well, that's it," Zhu Mian showed a businesslike expression, righteous and awe-inspiring, and said righteously, "Virtuous nephew, the old man, as an official of the imperial court, is deeply favored by Emperor Song, how can he know the law and break the law, and sell his official beard." ”

"Hey, Zhu Mian, you really don't have any friends like this, you don't just turn your face and don't admit it, but you also bomb with righteousness, it's really dark enough," Xiao He secretly hated in his heart.

"Uncle Zhu, you can help the little nephew, although the two of them are vulgar people, they are also the little nephew's master, how can the little nephew be a person who values love and righteousness, and wants to ask a sesame junior official to coax them, and respect the teacher."

Xiao He looked at Zhu Mian, who was holding the stone tightly and putting it behind him, with a serious expression, and said helplessly, "Uncle Zhu, don't be like this, this stone is just a little nephew who bought it from Fanren at a big price, but the little nephew doesn't believe his set of statements, this is just a treasure that was born and raised." ”

"Later, the little nephew invited a banquet and asked him to elaborate on the place where the stones were found, and only recently collected some of the same stones, but they have not yet polished and opened the windows, so it is not clear whether the same treasure will appear."

"Oh, there are many more of them," Jumien said in surprise with his eyes lit up.

"Ahem~"

Zhu Mian coughed pretending to be serious, and replied seriously, "Virtuous nephew, you are not very experienced, these people are insidious and cunning, sneaking and tricky, they may use ordinary stones to deceive you, you quickly bring those stones over, and Uncle Zhu will help you check it." ”

Xiao He's breath couldn't help but suffocate, his heart was cold, he originally thought that as long as he relied on such a special stone, he should be able to let Zhu Mian do things, but he didn't want Zhu Mian to open his mouth like a lion.

"Don't worry, virtuous nephew," Zhu Mian immediately changed his smiling face, his eyes lit up, "Your little thing, Uncle Zhu did it for you in minutes, remember, virtuous nephew, you have to send it over quickly, otherwise, you will lose a lot." ”

'Jiang is still old and spicy, and the fox is also old and treacherous. ’

Xiao He couldn't speak out in pain, and forced a smile, "Okay, I'm sorry to trouble Uncle Zhu." ”

Zhu Mian was complacent, with the demeanor of an elder caring for the younger generation, "Virtuous nephew, some people can stop in moderation, and people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants." ”

"Uncle Xie Zhu taught, and the little nephew woke up." Xiao Heqiang said with a smile.

The lively and noisy street market and the beautiful scenery in the past could not dispel the irritability in Xiao He's heart, and the humiliation of Zhu Mian lingered in his heart.

"I'm so angry," Xiao He grabbed his chest, "My heart hurts, a whole car of jade, I haven't experienced a knife of poverty and a knife of wealth, so I ......"

"Dead Fat Pig...... Ah......h

Chu Da, who was whetted up by several other people, came to Xiao He's side excitedly, and didn't notice the depression on Xiao He's face, and asked, "Xiao He, what reward do you want to give me?" ”

Chu Da looked at Xiao He eagerly, like a puppy begging for food from its owner.
