Jiapingguan Chronicle

Second Master Jiang turned his head to look at the children on the opposite side. They had finished their little meeting and started eating slowly.

Seeing this scene, Second Master Jiang couldn't help but smile and raised his eyebrows at them.

"Second Grandpa, why are you laughing?" Xue Ruitian touched his face, "Is there something stuck on your face?"

"Of course not." Second Master Jiang shook his head, "I'm just kidding, you guys are done chatting? How do you plan to get some cliche from us?"

"Second Master, what you said is wrong. We are all juniors in front of the three of you. How dare we play tricks in front of the three of you?" Jin Jing smiled, picked up the wine glass in hand, and looked at Jiang Second Master raised his hand, and seeing Second Master Jiang also raised his wine glass, he took a shallow sip, "Our small thoughts are all on our faces, and we can't hide it from the three of you, can we?"

Hongye and Jin Miaomiao looked at each other, and felt that it would be safer to eat and drink to weaken their sense of existence. These people with [-] minds are trying to test each other. Don't give away those who seem to have no mind. Go up, so as not to be affected.

"Xiaojing's mouth is really good at coaxing people."

"Hey, Second Grandpa, I won't agree to what you say! Isn't it me who is the most coaxing and likable in this?" Xue Ruitian has always been able to make the old man happy, he stood up Come on, take two steps to come to Jiang Renye's side, hug his arm, smile at him, and say, "I'm so cute, so well-behaved, Second Grandpa won't praise me a few words?"

"Cute? Well-behaved?" Seeing Xue Ruitian nodding, Second Master Jiang stretched out his finger and nodded his forehead, "These two words have nothing to do with you at all, and you are a monkey spirit in this! He looked at Yan Bo and Qin Zheng, "What did you say last time?"

"This little guy can turn into a monkey by putting his tail on it." Yan Bo smiled at Xue Ruitian, "We didn't say this, but on behalf of the prince. If you are not happy, you can have a good time when we meet next time." talk to him."

"I'm not unhappy!" Xue Ruitian reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Father, mother, and uncle and aunt also said the same thing before."

Second Master Jiang looked at Xue Ruitian, who looked a little unhappy, and patted him on the back to express his comfort.

"I'm fine." Xue Ruitian shook his head towards Second Master Jiang, "I just didn't expect to hear such a description. I'm a little surprised and also a little emotional. Second Grandpa don't need to worry."

Second Master Jiang didn't know what to say, so he poured him a cup of tea and stuffed it into his hand.

Xue Ruitian took it, drank all the tea, then put down the cup and looked at the three old men.

"Let's get down to business, we like to go straight to the point. If we want to know something, we will ask directly. We will never regret beating around the bush."

Second Master Jiang looked at Yan Bo and Qin Zheng, then at Xue Ruitian, who was acting coquettishly with his arm in his arms, and sighed silently. This child changed the subject too hard. If he had known this was the case, he would not have mentioned this matter. up.

However, the words have already been said, and it is useless to regret it any more, so I can only follow Xue Ruitian's wishes and cover up this paragraph.

"Okay, since you guys have decided to go straight, then we're not kidding, okay? If you want to ask something, just say it." Second Master Jiang patted Xue Ruitian's arm, saw his small appearance, and gently He raised his eyebrows, "I can tell you the same thing. If you ask what I know, then I can tell you. But if what you ask is that I don't know, but you Uncle Qin and Uncle Yan know, they I won't hide it from you, so, are you satisfied?"

"Really?" Shen Cha poked a pear, blinked at Second Master Jiang, then looked at his master, and asked tentatively, "Master, will you really not deceive us?"

"Of course, I will definitely say what I have, and I will never fool you." Qin Zheng nodded, saw Shen Cha eating pears, and warned, "Be careful, don't choke."

"I'll be careful, I...cough cough cough cough cough cough...

He said he would be careful, but in the end he accidentally choked. Shen Cha coughed hard twice, and Shen Haolin hurriedly patted her on the back beside him, and poured tea for her, telling her to let her go.

"I have already reminded you, why are you still careless?" Qin Zheng sighed helplessly, "You have been choking on this pear since you were a child, and you still like to eat it. Every time you are told to be careful, you don't take it seriously. "

"That is to say!" Jin Miaomiao sat over, grabbed Shen Cha's arm and pressed her twice, and looked at her carefully, "Is it much better?"

"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, "It's much better, Miao Miao and you are the best way. Actually, I've been very careful, this time I really don't blame me." She looked across and said to Qin Zheng, "That's not Hearing Master tell us everything, I felt so excited, that's why I choked."

"……Row."

Qin Zheng and Yan Bo looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, their disciples favored themselves, since the disciples threw the pot over, they must bear it.

"What Xiaocha said, um, is still very good." Jiang Erye looked at Xue Ruitian hanging on his arm, and sighed softly, "I can't run, you don't have to do that, Xiaotian, Take it easy, okay?"

"No, I want to get closer to Second Grandpa." Xue Ruitian refused to let go no matter what, he put his arms around and shook, and looked at Second Master Jiang with a smile, "Actually, we want to know, this money ghost Senior, do you have your own set of rules?"

"There are no rules, and there are no rules. There must be rules, but what kind of rules are you talking about?"

"Look, you told us before that gold relics are not easy to come by, and it is not easy to see them. This shows that this old man and the gold wares he made are very famous, right?"

"It's true that you understand it that way." Second Master Jiang nodded, "In this business, he is considered a master. He has created a faction and has his own unique style."

"Is it not, then, that his gold is not available to just anyone?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Maybe I didn't express it accurately enough. I just want to ask, does the old man have his own requirements for the guests?" Xue Ruitian thought for a while, "Let me use an analogy, that is, does the old man set himself a rule to receive rich, Those with power, or both rich and powerful, or anyone who accepts it? Also, what kind of gold wares does the old man only forge, or does he only accept complete sets of gold wares? Make this kind of decoration instead of doing head jewelry or something? It’s kind of like that, like this kind of rules.”

"Hearing what you said, I'm also a little confused, maybe there are?"

"Looks like?" Xue Ruitian tilted his head, "Isn't there anything made by the old man in your house before?"

"I don't like that style, so I didn't ask him to do it. Moreover, I don't have much contact with him, and I don't know much about him. If we say that we have more contact with him here, it is someone else. Ah!" Second Master Jiang gave a smirk, and poked Yan Bo who was drinking lightly from his glass, "You have had the most contact with him, do you remember his broken rules?"

"It's impressive, and it's hard to remember." Yan Bo rolled his eyes and snorted twice, "If I could turn back time, I really don't want to meet him myself, he is simply a big trouble!"

"I can see it!" Xue Ruitian leaned over, blinked, and said, "It seems that Yan Bo likes him very much, doesn't he?"

"This old man has a very weird personality. Sometimes he is a mother-in-law, and sometimes he is talking about it. He always wants me to be his apprentice, but his broken rules, everyone has to turn around and run away. "Yan Bo snorted twice, "However, Lord Hou, did you just say that he only made gold wares? He can make jade ware, and he is good at it. Not only decorations, head jewelry, waist ornaments, but also the kind of handles that are played with on weekdays, as well as large and small ornaments in the house , he did it all."

"There are quite a lot of types, but he only has one person, can he do it?"

"It's time to talk about your previous issue." Yan Bo looked at Xue Ruitian, then at the children staring at him, smiled and said, "You said just now, is there a standard for selecting guests? Of course there is. Yes, that standard is himself."

"What does it mean that the standard is himself?"

"It's to see if this person is pleasing to the eye and whether he can be my guest. If this person's speech and behavior are pleasing to the eye and suit his eyes, then, apart from anything else, he will be the one with no matter how big the order and how difficult the workmanship is. I am willing to do it, and I do it myself. If he doesn’t like this person, if he doesn’t like him, he will probably refuse, or leave it to his disciples to do it. Out of sight, out of mind!”

"The one that doesn't suit your eyes, what if you have to make him do it?"

"It's not impossible, as long as the money is enough."

"What's the standard for giving enough?"

"Depending on his mood that day, it may be double, or it may be higher. If he is in a good mood, he will ask for a little less, and if he is in a bad mood, he will ask for a little more. They are all arbitrary, and there is no fixed standard." Yan Bo saw the opposite The child looked surprised and chuckled, "Why are you so surprised? Isn't this normal? Think about it, if someone you don't like asks you to help with something, would you be happy?"

"See what it is. If it's a business matter, if it's profitable for yourself and doesn't hurt others, of course you can do it. If it's something else, if it involves righteousness, then you have to see what it is like." The situation."

"Well, this statement is acceptable. If you are him, just doing business, and the customer is someone you don't like, are you willing to take this job?"

"Sure!" Shen Cha nodded, "As long as the other party doesn't make so many unreasonable demands, is dissatisfied here, dissatisfied there, and then changes it according to what he said, and thinks it was better last time, then I will change it back again, then I will still It’s possible. But it’s not that I can’t take care of a lot of customers. It’s probably because I want to make the price more expensive. I can’t bear the cost of repeated revisions. I have to have the other party to bear it. .As long as the other party doesn’t care, then I don’t care either.”

"Well, from what I hear, our Xiaocha's temper is quite good, but the old man is really weird." Yan Bo chuckled, "The people he doesn't like just want to quote a very high price, yes He wanted to scare people away, but he didn't say clearly that he would not accept business, so there were many rumors outside that ordinary people couldn't afford Master Qian's works. In fact, this is not the case at all. If it is ordinary people, as long as He is pleasing to the eye, even if he charges a capital, he will do it."

"So that's the case." Shen Cha nodded, "What else?"

"There is also the requirement of most gold and silver shops. Customers need to provide raw materials. For example, if you want to carve a gold hairpin, silver hairpin or want to carve a jade pendant, you need to bring gold, silver or jade materials by yourself. Of course , There are also options in his shop, but after all, it’s safer to bring your own, and it’s relatively cheap.” Yan Bo thought for a while, “As for the one you mentioned, is it a set? He doesn’t have this rule. You can make a silver ring, silver earrings, carve a safety buckle, as long as he wants, he can do it.”

"Actually..." Xue Ruitian rubbed his chin, "It sounds like this old man is okay, he's not that difficult to get in touch with, is he?"

"No." Yan Bo shook his head lightly, "You are wrong, these are his rules on the surface, if you think your conditions are met, you may still be rejected by him."

"What do you mean?"

"It's just that he may think you are attractive when we meet for the first time, but when he looks at the pattern for the second time, he may think you are not attractive, and he may reject you if he is not sure." Yan Bo spread his hands, "That's how willful you are. , That’s why I said he is capricious and unpredictable.”

"This..." Xue Ruitian shook his head, he couldn't imagine such a person in this world, "Forget it, who is he, it has nothing to do with us, let's talk about the golden relic, how many of you know, this thing is a single , or do you have a set?"

"This question is on point." Jiang Erye smiled, "As far as I know, this is a set, a total of three."

"Who ordered it? Where are the other two?"

"If I remember correctly, this one should have been ordered by the last emperor, and the other two have already been buried with the last emperor. The reason why this one is still outside is that the third one was not handed over at all. The Last Emperor, when the Last Emperor died, the third one hadn't really been done yet."

"So that's the case." Shen Cha nodded, "Then who is the first owner of the golden relic we have now, do you know?"

"I still know this." Second Master Jiang said with a slight smile on his face, "It's Langya Wang."
