Chapter 410: Old Man Huangshi: His Highness is so clever
"Yes, yes, or what His Highness said, the only wine and beauties in this world cannot be disappointed, the wine of Brother Zhao's family, the old man has been thinking about it for a long time......"
Immediately, many people echoed it.
Xing Rang, who hurried back behind him, had just gotten down from the carriage with his granddaughter, and before he could get over, he heard the emperor's eldest grandson in the crowd laughing with everyone there.
“…… The world's best wine and beauty should not be disappointed......"
Suddenly turned his head and said earnestly to his granddaughter.
"Girl, if you are looking for a husband in the future, you must keep your eyes open, but you can't look for this, don't look at people like them who say that they talk well, and what they say is that the wine and beauty can't be disappointed, but when you look back, people like them are the most ruthless, and there are new people who forget the old people......"
Xing Yu'er: ......
She sighed a little helplessly.
"Father, wake up, we're here to apprentice, not to recruit a son-in-law - besides, even if you want to recruit someone as a son-in-law, people may not look down on your granddaughter......"
When Xing Rang heard this, he was immediately unhappy, his old eyes glared, and his beard pouted.
"He's a greedy and lustful person, why can't he look down on my granddaughter? Looking through the entire Zhangxian County, can you find a more handsome girl than my granddaughter? Even if there are barely one or two, why are they smart and capable of our family Yu'er - in this world, there is no man our family Yu'er is not worthy of! ”
After speaking, this old guy couldn't help but look up at His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun who stood out in the crowd, but he had to admit in his heart that this Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, if he was not the eldest grandson of the Emperor, if he was not so lustful, he could indeed be regarded as a good match for his granddaughter.
Good-looking, capable of writing and martial arts, but also mild-mannered, and good-spoken.
However, he quickly put this ridiculous idea behind him, his granddaughter is the treasure of the Xing family, and if he wants to keep it for the old Xing family to support the family business, how can he marry a character like the emperor's eldest grandson, and he is a concubine.
"The head of the Xing family came so quickly, I was about to say, if you don't come again, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink the private wine of the head of the Zhao family......"
Zhao Ying is more than two meters tall, directly taller than everyone around, and has a wide field of vision.
He even heard the old guy speak ill of himself to his granddaughter.
Therefore, when he said this, he deliberately smiled and looked at Xing Yu'er behind Xing Rang, but immediately a trace of amazement appeared in his eyes.
Even if he has seen a lot of beauties, at this time, when he sees Xing Yu'er who has changed into women's clothes, he can't help but light up in his eyes, this girl is beautiful and beautiful, and she has nothing to say about her figure, even compared with her own daughters-in-law, I am afraid it is not much better.
But what makes her most brilliant is not her facial features, not her figure, but her skin.
It's not the whiteness of the skin, but the warmth and delicacy!
The first moment you see her, you can't help but have one word jump out of your heart: warm fragrant nephrite!
I feel that these four words, the reason why they were born, are naturally prepared for the girl in front of me. It makes you subconsciously want to pinch and rub it.
Xing Rang didn't know why, he subconsciously moved his body forward, blocking his granddaughter behind him, and then turned his face up and said with a smile.
"Your Highness Lao is worried—"
Then he pulled his granddaughter out from behind him, and arched his hand at Huang Shigong, who was holding his hands behind his back and looking at his granddaughter curiously, and introduced.
"This is the granddaughter that the old man just mentioned to the gentleman—"
After speaking, he said to Xing Yu'er.
"Why don't you meet Mr.—"
Xing Yu'er looked at the old man in front of her, with a childish face and wise eyes, and Ying Ying bowed down.
"Little girl Xing Yu'er, meet sir-"
The old man Huang Shi smiled and nodded, stretching out his hand to help.
"Xiuwai Huizhong, she is really a rare strange woman, no wonder your eldest father will praise you again and again in the old man and His Royal Highness......
Even if Xing Yu'er had a lively temperament, she couldn't help but blush at this time, and glared at her eldest father with some complaints.
My eldest father is good at everything, but he likes to brag about himself wherever he goes......
Xing Rang's eyes on his granddaughter have long been immune.
It should be a compliment to his granddaughter.
At this time, in the city of Zhangjun, from the county guard down, almost all the characters with heads and faces have arrived, and they have the intention to spread their reputation in front of everyone.
Immediately pick up the package that had been prepared long ago from the coachman next to him.
"When I came down, I deliberately selected some gadgets carved by this girl from home, and asked Mr. to look at it to see if this girl was worth pointing out to ......."
Old Man Huangshi smiled and nodded.
Just now, just at a glance, he had already fallen in love with the girl from the Xing family in front of him. Not to mention this girl's wisdom, she is also very blessed, and I am afraid that it will have a deep impact on her own pulse in the future.
Hearing that Huang Shigong intended to instruct the Xing family's craftsmanship on the spot, everyone immediately gathered around, and the shopkeeper on the side ran back with great eyes, resisted a long one, and hugged a rattan mat.
Huang Shigong smiled and nodded in thanks.
"The shopkeeper, there is labor—"
Xing Rang was even more direct, shook his hand, took out a large string of copper coins from his arms, and motioned to the coachman on the side to go to the carriage to take a few strings of copper coins and stuff them into the hands of the old shopkeeper.
"Youlao, these reward you for tea-"
The shopkeeper was also very knowledgeable, and when he saw Xing Rang's move, he immediately held the copper coin and retreated with a thousand thanks. Xing Rang walked up to him, carefully put down the burden in his hand, and opened it in public.
These are a few pieces of jade with an excellent texture.
Of course, everyone present is the top person in this Zhang County, so naturally they will not be shocked by this bloody performance, and they also know that Xing let this old thing take out this, and he didn't let Huang Shigong see this.
The old man Huangshi casually picked up the jade in front of him, looked at the sunlight, and carefully examined it, and then nodded approvingly.
"Yes, this piece should be produced in Qianxi Venus jade, this jade texture is exquisite, it seems to be easy to carve, but it is quite a test of ingenuity, your piece of jade, although the knife is still a little immature, but quite spiritual, there are a few knives, so that the old man feels quite ingenious, it is really a good seedling of carved jade......"
Hearing Huang Shigong's comments, Xing Rang's eyebrows danced with joy.
With Huang Shigong's words, even if his granddaughter has no chance to worship Huangshi Gong today, the beautiful jade from his own family, especially the price of jade carved by his granddaughter herself, will also be prosperous!
While talking, he saw the old man Huangshi again, and picked up a hosta that looked ordinary and had a simple style. After looking at it carefully for a while, his eyes were full of unconcealable appreciation.
"It's amazing, it's terrifying—"
After the old man Huangshi finished speaking, he put down the hosta in his hand, looked at Xing Yu'er who was kneeling beside him with a smile, and said in a gentle and authentic tone.
"Girl, can you tell me why this hosta of yours is designed like this?"
Seeing that Huang Shigong had really discovered his carefully designed thoughts, Xing Yu'er was immediately convinced and said respectfully.
"Mr. Hui's words, this piece of jade seems to be ordinary, but when you look at it horizontally, there is something else in it, so the students simply go to the clumsy and restore its ancient charm according to its texture......
Zhao Ying looked at the hosta in front of him and couldn't help nodding again and again.
This is really an excellent hosta, luxurious and introverted, simple atmosphere, looking simple, but the texture and color inside, are first-class good things, the most rare thing is that this design, not only did not damage the jade in the slightest, but made this hosta to a higher level.
"Yes, it's really a treasure in the world, a rare good thing......"
Speaking of this, Zhao Ying looked at Xing Rang on the side with a smile.
"Master Xing, I like this hosta very much, I don't know if the head of the Xing family can cut love, I am willing to buy ...... at a high price"
Xing Rang saw that His Royal Highness Zhao Ying, the eldest grandson of the emperor, had taken a fancy to the beautiful jade carved by his granddaughter, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, stepped forward, carefully put away the hosta just now, and put it in the brocade box on the side, and then walked to Zhao Ying with both hands.
"Your Highness can take a fancy to the craftsmanship of our Xing family, this is the honor of our Xing family, I am willing to dedicate this thing to Your Highness, and please ask Your Highness to smile——"
Seeing this, Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing, stepped forward to take the brocade box in Xing Rang's hand, looked around at everyone and smiled.
"Thank you for the kindness of the Xing family master, but if I accept your hosta today, wouldn't I have become a clever and robber, and after I go back, I'm afraid I won't be discounted by Your Majesty......"
Zhao Ying said it interestingly, and everyone naturally cheered one after another, and appropriately chuckled.
Without waiting for Xing Rang to make concessions, Zhao Ying had already handed over the brocade box in his hand to Wang Laosi on the side.
"I'll accept this thing, but it must be according to the market price, a lot of money, and I'll ask the people around me to send you the money when I turn around......"
Speaking of this, Zhao Ying's tone paused slightly, and he turned his head with a smile to look at Xing Yu'er, who was looking at him curiously.
"However, there is one more thing that needs to be bothered by the girl......"
Xing Yu'er was a little confused about Zhao Ying's thoughts, and when she heard this, she hurriedly saluted respectfully.
"Your Highness ...... as commanded"
"Although this hosta is exquisite, there is a knife at the fork of the hairpin tail, which seems to be a little shallower, and it has not been able to dig out the charm of this jade, and it is slightly not beautiful, and I will have to bother the girl to add another ......knife later."
Although he can't carve jade, he is well-read and knowledgeable, and more importantly, his eyesight is far better than ordinary people.
Xing Yu'er: ......
Thinking of her eldest father's evaluation of this imperial eldest grandson just now, she suddenly felt nervous in her heart, and she was a little suspicious that His Royal Highness the imperial eldest grandson wanted to find an excuse to be alone with her, or if she wanted to do something bad.
Just as he was thinking about whether to refuse, he heard the old man in Huangshi on the side, a little surprised.
"The old man is really clumsy, I can't imagine that His Highness's jade carving technique has been proficient to such a degree! That flaw, even the old man looked at it for a long time before he found it, and he didn't expect His Highness to find something wrong with it just by looking at it! ”
Zhao Ying looked back and saw that it was not only the old man of Huangshi, but even Xu Ying's mouth opened wide in surprise.
Zhao Ying couldn't help but smile dumbly, waved his hand casually, and said with a sincere face.
"Where am I proficient in some jade art, but I just happened to find something......"
However, with the fact in front of him, and with the endorsement of the old man Huangshi, his reputation as a jade master will definitely not be able to escape. Seeing this, Zhao Ying could only smile bitterly.
I knew that I might as well shut up.
Just now, the old man Huangshi already had the intention of accepting Xing Yu'er's apprentice, and at this time, when he saw Xing Yu'er's performance, he was even more satisfied, and immediately looked at Xing Yu'er with a smile.
"I have a volume of "Carving the Book of Heaven" here, and I want to give it to you, I don't know if you are willing to ......"
When Xing Yu'er heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the ground in front of everyone.
"Student Xing Yu'er, meet the teacher!"
……
Although Zhao Zhi, the head of the Zhao family, said that his family was not good at anything but fine wine, his family's mansion was not inferior to the wealthy families in Jiangnan that Zhao Ying had seen.
Covering an area of dozens of acres, the mansions are full of curtains, pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and the construction is like a garden full of Jiangnan style.
If nothing else, I don't know how much money it will cost to spend on this courtyard alone.
I don't know why, Zhao Ying's eyes suddenly appeared in front of those hungry people in ragged clothes and vegetables. I also suddenly remembered an ancient text that I had learned in later generations.
"Those who destroy the Six Kingdoms, the Six Kingdoms are also, not Qin!"
With these wealthy families lying on the body of Chu to suck blood, isn't it very reasonable for the fall of Chu State?
Because of the large number of people, Zhao Zhi did not invite everyone to the living room, and directly led everyone to his back garden.
Although it was the middle of winter, the back garden of the Zhao family was still verdant, and it was even overgrown with strange flowers and plants, which made Zhao Ying take a few more looks.
Wang Laosi, who followed behind him, was even more dumbfounded.
I almost suspected that I had entered the abode of the gods, I couldn't imagine that a person's home could be so big, I couldn't imagine that a person could live in such a beautiful house, and I couldn't understand why it was so cold and why the courtyard of the Zhao family could bloom......
Zhao Ying's distraction obviously caused Zhao Zhi on the side to misunderstand, and he thought that the emperor's eldest grandson had never seen these arrangements in his yard.
I can't help but feel a little complacent in my heart, where do these barbarians in the pass know these elegant things. However, a reserved and modest smile appeared on his face, and he explained very thoughtfully.
"It was the old man who asked people to build a kang in the yard, twelve hours a day, there are special subordinates to watch, control the temperature, so although the cold winter wax moon, this yard is also warm like spring, does not affect the growth of these plants and trees at all, leisure time, it is more convenient to come to this yard to relax......
When Zhao Ying heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he smiled and praised.
"Sure enough, it is a wealthy family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, this grass, tree, flower and stone, it really opened my eyes——"
Zhao Zhi thought that Zhao Ying was marveling at his own heritage, and shook his head and smiled quite reservedly.
"Let His Highness smile, in fact, these are all ordinary arrangements, and the little old man is also good at learning, and he is just elegant with them......"
Zhao Ying nodded.
"Zhangjun is rich in treasures, and the people in Fufu are abundant, just look at these arrangements in your house, you can see it......"
There are pavilions and pavilions in the back garden, and there are also ready-made seats.
A group of people sat around Zhao Ying and the old man of Huangshi, and the handsome maid who had been waiting on the side for a long time, serving tea and water, bringing snacks and fruits, and a graceful singer, not far away, accompanied by the melodious sound of silk and bamboo, sang and danced there.
Indescribable pleasure.
"The humble house is shabby, the hospitality is not good, and I invite you to ...... a lot of Haihan"
