04 wood carving

The young steward scolded, and several martial artists next to him grabbed Lu Jiu forward, but Lu Jiu stood in place, his expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Old Man Zhang hurriedly stood up and bowed to the young steward, with a flattering smile on his face:

"The chief steward, you have a lot of adults, don't be like Xiao Jiu, although Xiao Jiu is a little smaller, he still has some skills in carving, don't believe me to show you something?"

Old man Zhang said, hurriedly ran to the side of the carriage, and took out the wood carving carved by Lu Jiu.

The young steward frowned, slightly displeased, but when he saw the wood carving, his eyes showed a little essence.

"Good carver!"

The young steward couldn't help but take a look, there were countless stone carvings in the Qin Palace, and the young steward had some connections, so he had naturally seen a lot of stone carvings, but there were few that could compare to this wood carving, especially the tiger on this wood carving, a little more, a little less.

And that charm, it's really lifelike, like a tiger scurrying out.

"What's your name, it's carved by you?" said the young steward towards Lu Jiu, who lowered his head and didn't speak. Seeing this, Old Man Zhang hurriedly said:

"Forgive me, Xiao Jiu's name is Lu Jiu, his personality is a little timid, maybe he was frightened when he saw your majesty, and Xiao Jiu's grandfather just died, he is the only one left in the family, the chief steward is the best, everyone is convinced of the big steward, seeing that Xiao Jiu is quite pitiful, just leave Xiao Jiu!"

Old man Zhang praised the young steward while explaining the reason.

The young steward nodded when he heard this, and he didn't have the same knowledge as Lu Jiu, but then he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, it's better to stay." ”

As he spoke, the young steward took the wooden carving and put it in his bosom and left.

It was only a little farther away that the young steward took out the wood carving, looked at it, smiled thoughtfully, and then said disdainfully:

"Lu Jiu, a lowly person!"

It's just this voice, Lu Jiu can hear it clearly from a very distance, cultivating Zixia Decision, he can't see anything from the appearance, and even a clear-eyed person can see at a glance that Lu Jiu has not cultivated any internal and external skills, but after cultivating Zixia Decision, his body has become different, and his eyesight, ear power, etc. have become much stronger.

In the Qin State, like other countries, all the names are divided into two types, and the names of those who are a little richer are all two-character names. For example, Lu Jiu's original name was Lu Yu, the word Jiuyuan, and his full name became Lu Jiuyuan.

It's just that Lu Yu was called Jiu'er by his grandfather, so as not to be suspicious of others, Lu Yu said that his name was Lu Jiu.

Old man Zhang still whispered in Lu Yu's ear about the benefits of the young steward: "Xiao Jiu, Steward Li left you behind, but Entong rebuilt, you should be respectful when you see Steward Li in the future, if you develop one day, don't want Steward Li to give you today." ”

Although Old Man Zhang pretended to be low, his voice was very loud and clearly spread all around, so that it was obvious that it was just for the subordinates of Steward Li around him to hear.

However, Steward Li is a martial artist after all, and he is not far away, and when he heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

Lu Jiu stood in place, lowered his head, pretended to be afraid, and didn't say a word, and after a while, Steward Li and the others left, and Old Man Zhang exhaled lightly.

"Okay, Steward Li is gone, now you will do things according to Steward Li's arrangement, this garden should be built within a year, and a noble person will come after a year, if it is not built well, it will take your dog's life at that time." ”

A warrior stood aside, and said in a mocking manner. The crowd should claim yes, and then the individual begins to allocate the house himself. The garden has been built on this hill for a long time, in fact, most of the construction here has been completed, and all that remains is repair and some technical work, such as the pavilion and the stone carvings of the garden.

Lu Jiu and the others almost shared a room to live in, and then began to assign tasks.

There are dozens of people in this line, almost all of them carpenters and carvers, and they all do the same thing, so the distribution is much simpler.

It's just that Lu Jiu is too small, and everyone is not too embarrassed, and the tasks assigned to Lu Jiu are very few, and only three stone carvings need to be carved within a year. The rest of the adults are asking for a dozen or even dozens of them.

After the assignment was completed, everyone began to discuss according to their own drawings.

Lu Jiu stood aside and didn't say a word, and after a long time, Lu Jiu quietly left and walked onto this small hill. Zhennan City is built by the mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, this hill is actually a small hill among the three big mountains, but the location of this mountain is relatively unique, there is a gurgling stream flowing through the mountain, the scenery is very beautiful.

Walking up this mountain, Lu Jiu could occasionally see craftsmen building gardens on this mountain.

Lu Jiu passed by quietly and observed in this place. On this mountain, Lu Jiu has to stay for a while, at least a year later.

......................

Steward Li was very happy, playing with this wood carving in his hand, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this wood carving was exquisite, and there was a unique charm on this wood carving, as if the tiger on this wood carving was real.

Steward Li walked, and many of the subordinates of the Qin Mansion saluted one after another along the way. It can be seen that although this Steward Li is young, he still has a lot of status in the Qin Palace.

Half an hour later, Steward Li waited quietly outside a secret room in the Qin Palace.

"Come in!" said a voice from the secret room, and Steward Li showed a flattering smile and walked in with a bowed body.

"Childe, I just got a plaything, and I would like to ask Childe to show it to Changyan?" Steward Li said in a low voice.

Opposite Steward Li, a young man about twenty years old showed anger on his face and scolded: "Hmph, a plaything is coming to disturb my cultivation, Li Hengqi, you are so bold, how did this son order." ”

Steward Li's face turned pale when he heard this, and he knelt on the ground with an ordinary sound, and begged for mercy in a low voice:

"The fifth prince sees it, I am also thinking about the childe, doesn't that young lady particularly like carving, I got a wood carving this time, and I want to present it to the childe, the son atons for his sins!"

Steward Li said, kowtowing incessantly, and his head was almost bleeding.

After hearing this, the fifth prince's eyes showed a gleam, but he said, "Present the things." Seeing this, Steward Li smiled flatteringly, took out the wood carving from his arms, and then held it up with both hands.

A strange scene appeared, as soon as the fifth prince stretched out his hand, the wood carving flew up, and then fell into the hands of the fifth prince, and Steward Li lowered his head, but he caught a glimpse of this scene, and his eyes showed shock. Even if Steward Li had seen it several times and knew the secret, he was still shocked.
