At six o'clock, the car stopped at the carving workshop of the Bai family.

There are a lot of precious jade stones piled up in the workshop, some of which are cut raw materials, and some are semi-finished and finished products that have been carved, so the personnel who enter and exit here must be strictly controlled. Because it was Bai Changxia who brought it over, the person guarding the door was not embarrassed, and let them in after asking a few words.

The sound of the machine running was slightly harsh, Bai Changxia rubbed her ears, she was not interested in the jade business at home, and she didn't come to the workshop often, but the masters in the workshop knew her.

Seeing her, one of the masters stopped the machine and greeted kindly: "Bai girl is coming?" ”

"Master Qin, you are busy first, I'll bring my friends over to have a look." Bai Changxia smiled.

Shen Jianian glanced around, and not far away there was a piece of jade raw material the size of a tabletop, on which many circles of different sizes were drawn with pencils, probably used to make bracelets.

The table was littered with scraps of various shapes, and some of the finished products were placed in locked glass cases, and the lights shone on them, such as turquoise, purple, garcinia cambogia, lotus lotus, and ...... It has a translucent color.

Among them, there is a Maitreya Buddha, about three feet high, carved vividly and meticulously, even the folds of the robe on the body are very realistic, very test the master's craftsmanship.

Bai Changxia took Shen Jianian to visit the circle, the place is not big, and you can see the whole appearance in a few minutes.

"How?" Bai Changxia casually picked up a piece of leftover material on the table and checked it in his hand, and said in a generous tone, "If there is any material in the picture, I will give it to you." ”

When the words fell, she smiled again and made up for it: "As long as it's not the guest's own material, you can pick the rest." ”

Some of the materials are sent by the guests, and the designated master carves them into the patterns and objects they want. This kind of material can't be taken away casually, even if it's the scraps left over from carving, you have to keep it.

Shen Jianian looked at her generosity like a rich man, and couldn't help laughing: "No, I brought my own jade raw materials, please ask a master to guide me in the operation, and don't worry about the rest." ”

As she spoke, she took out a palm-sized piece of jade from her crossbody bag.

If Fu Jichen is here, he will definitely feel familiar.

This piece of jade raw material was to go to the Fu family's old house to congratulate the old man on his birthday, and when he left, Zhou Zhizhen gave Fu Jichen a thank you gift, and he gave it to her.

Shen Jianian rubbed the cold and moist jade, and sighed in his heart, but he didn't expect that this piece of jade finally returned to Fu Jichen's hands.

Bai Changxia glanced at the jade material in her palm, took it over and looked at it repeatedly, and also took a flashlight to shine it. Although she is not very interested in these, after all, she has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she is not an illiterate person, so she commented at the moment: "This jade is also a million-level person, and it is a good material." ”

Shen Jianian didn't deny it, the smile on his face was a little ethereal: "It was given to me by Fu Jichen." ”

"Sister, will you take what Boss Fu gave you and send it back?" Bai Changxia couldn't help but quip, "It doesn't seem that there is such a gift." When visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, my mother remembers that she can't return the gifts sent by others as they are, and they usually exchange them with each other. ”

Shen Jianian listened to her analogy, and couldn't help but smile: "There's no way, I don't have any jade in my hand that can match his identity, so I can only settle." ”

Bai Changxia Fangcai's words were just joking, and he didn't take it seriously, so he immediately changed his words: "What about gifts, the most important thing is your heart, you plan to carve it yourself, even if he is the Jade Emperor, he has to be grateful to Dade!" ”

The work of the two exchanges, Master Qin is busy.

Bai Changxia went over to communicate with people, and Master Qin set his eyes on Shen Jianian, who had an elegant temperament beside her, and said in surprise: "Do it yourself?" It's dangerous if you don't get this thing right, but it's not to scare you. ”

Bai Changxia knew that Shen Jianian had made up his mind, and he would not back down because of a little difficulty: "I bother you to guide and assist by the side, my friend is extremely smart, I believe there will be no problem." ”

Master Qin hesitated again and again, for the sake of Bai Changxia's face, he reluctantly agreed, and after seeing the jade brought by Shen Jiannian, he also said that it was a good material.

Shen Jianian said that he wanted to carve a handle piece and asked Master Qin if it was suitable.

Master Qin said that the size of the jade was just right, and asked her what pattern she wanted to carve into.

Shen Jianian was silent for a long time, she hadn't thought about it before, but just now, in an instant, she thought about it, she hoped that Fu Jichen would be happy. Even if they are separated from each other and will never see each other in this life, she sincerely wishes him a good relationship.

Thinking of this, her heart was flooded with fine and dense pain, and she couldn't help but paint in her mind the picture of him and other women walking hand in hand into the marriage hall.

Perhaps, he will be so gentle and patient with other women in the future, holding an umbrella for her on rainy days, worrying that the rain will wet her shoes, and carrying her home......

Shen Jiannian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried his best to suppress the surging thought.

After deciding, Shen Jianian sat on the edge of the workbench and drew a rough outline on the jade with a pencil.

Bai Changxia had nothing to do, leaned against an idle counter, put on headphones to listen to the symphony, glanced at Shen Jianian from time to time, saw that she had drawn the pattern to be carved, and followed Master Qin to the machine, and couldn't help much for the time being, so he didn't bother.

*

When I came out of the carving workshop, it was already past eleven o'clock.

Came around six o'clock, and in a blink of an eye, five hours passed. Bai Changxia sat in the driving car, and saw the jade again, which had changed a lot.

The original shape was like a goose egg, but now it has become a chubby lotus root, with two sections, one large and one small, and the lotus knot in the middle of the two lotus roots is vivid. A rounded hole was made at the end, a smooth and textured black braided rope was tied, and a rounded jade bead was pierced through the knot, which was made from the scrap of the jade.

Bai Changxia couldn't understand it, and his expression was even a little difficult to explain: "I see that other men play with their handles, all of which are Pixiu, gourd, etc., Pixiu has the meaning of attracting wealth and entering the treasure, the pronunciation of the word gourd is like Fulu, and it is also an auspicious meaning, what is the meaning of your lotus root?" I only know the stalk of eating lotus root ugly. ”

Shen Jianian smiled faintly and was silent.

Bai Changxia returned the handle to her, and when she refused to speak, she became more and more curious, and bent her elbow and bumped her arm: "I can't think of it if I want to break my brain, you tell me." ”

After a moment of silence, Shen Jianian told her: "Lotus root, the sound is the same, which means that a good couple is natural." ”

Bai Changxia was stunned for a moment, and then, a meaningful smile overflowed from his lips, as if he had seen through her careful thoughts, and said in a long tone: "I understand, you are saying that you and Boss Fu are a good couple." ”

Shen Jianian had an indifferent expression on his face, and did not explain to her, Jia Couple, not referring to himself and Fu Jichen.

The driver sent Bai Changxia back to the hospital first.

When Bai Changxia got out of the car, Shen Jianian followed, stood by the car and hugged Bai Changxia.

The entrance of the hospital was not so quiet in the middle of the night, and there was the sound of ambulances whizzing by, and I didn't know which patient to save. Shen Jianian's voice was soft, like the wind passing through the treetops: "You have to take care, don't worry about me in the future, I will take care of myself." ”

Bai Changxia's eyes were warm for no reason, he raised his hand and patted Shen Jiannian twice on the back, and spoke in a dull nasal voice: "What's the matter, it's suddenly so sensational." ”

Shen Jianian didn't want her to see her abnormality, so she quickly let go of her hand, took a breath lightly, raised a smile and said, "Come in quickly, rest early." ”

After speaking, Shen Jianian turned around and got into the car, and quickly closed the car door, cutting off Bai Changxia's sight.

The car didn't rush away, it stopped in place, Shen Jianian watched his friend's figure enter the hospital gate, and then said to the driver: "Let's go." ”

The car started and turned around and drove towards Yunding Palace.

On the way, Shen Jianian picked up his emotions, put his hand on his lap, touched the edge of the leather satchel, and asked Xiao Zheng who was driving casually: "Apart from you, do you usually have other bodyguards around me?" ”

She refers to the one who is in the shadows.

Previously, Fu Jichen hired three bodyguards, one was responsible for driving, that is, the current driver Xiao Zheng, and two were responsible for guarding her. Later, she told Fu Jichen that it was too dazzling to take a few bodyguards with her wherever she went, and she would be uncomfortable.

Fu Jichen thought about this problem, and then removed the two bodyguards, leaving Xiao Zheng alone, responsible for her daily travel and safety issues.

But Shen Jianian wasn't sure if there were bodyguards secretly protecting her.

Xiao Zheng should be in the know.

"Sir only commanded me alone, and no one else." Xiao Zheng said.

Mr. Fu's original words were that Miss Shen had to be in his sight when she went to a place outside the Yunding Palace, so that he could take action in time if something happened. (End of chapter)
