carved heart

Chapter 23 Mountains and Flowing Water (5)
"It turns out that Fang Bo is here." Baozi took a few breaths: "It's easy to find Baozi." Except for the first time, Fang Bo would come to see the challenger's carved core, and then he didn't really look at it.I didn't expect to see Yin's carved core in person today, and was about to speak when I caught sight of Shangguan Shixin, gasped, and said hastily, "I've seen the Shaodong family."

Shangguan Shi said: "Why are you out of breath?"

Fang Bo also said: "If it's not an important matter, let's talk about it later, so as not to disturb the young master's elegant mood." He smiled at Shangguan Shixin again: "It's because I didn't control the servants on weekdays, which made the young master laugh."

"It's okay, this is not Suizhou, just be more casual." He looked at Baozi and smiled gently: "Don't worry, talk slowly if you have something to say."

Baozi thought to himself that the Young Master's family was indeed as rumored, a figure like a Bodhisattva Buddha, with a very good temper, so he said: "That girl is Miss Yin who came to challenge the problem today and wants to see Fang Bo."

Fang Bo strolled towards the main hall, instead of entering through the main entrance, he entered through the side pavilion connected to the main entrance.There is only a curtain between the main entrance and the side pavilion, Shangguan Shixin Fang Bo nodded lightly, Fang Bo restrained his expression, opened the curtain and entered.

Originally, Fang Bo planned to go directly to the rockery to meet Ah Yin, but the Shaodong family was very interested. Although the pavilion could have a panoramic view of the rockery, there was still no sound.There is only a curtain to separate it, so that it is convenient to listen to the corner.

After walking a few steps, Fang Bo saw the girl on the chair Shi Shiran got up and saluted him as a junior.

Fang Bo narrowed his eyes to look at Ah Yin, and his first glance fell on her hands, the fingers were slender, not like a pair of hands holding a carving knife.The second glance fell on Ah Yin's face.Fang Bo only looked at people's hands, and looked away after a quick glance on his face. He said: "Old man's rules will not be changed once they are set. Two hours, no less than a penny, and no more than a moment, one hour will pass." But, you don't have much time left."

Ah Yin calmly said: "Ah Yin has a question in his mind, and I hope Fang Bo will answer it."

Fang Bo said: "You came to solve the old man's problem, but now you are taking the old man's exam."

"I don't understand the question, Ah Yin can't carve the core, please forgive me, Uncle Fang."

Fang Bo was not the one who made things difficult for others, he waved his hand and said, "You ask."

Ah Yin said "thank you", and Fang said: "Uncle Fang knows that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice?" Seeing Uncle Fang nod his head, A Yin showed a perplexed look, and said: "Uncle Fang knows, why do you embarrass Ah Yin so much? What? If Fang Bo doesn't want to give out the invitation, why is there such a problem?"

Fang Bo blew his beard and stared: "You little girl actually slandered the old man? The old man is upright in asking questions, and the visitor is also upright in challenging. There are files, knives, knives, peach pits, why are you embarrassed? You little girl is really open!" Setting a precedent, trying to get it by lip service if you can't solve the problem? Such opportunistic tricks are in vain for you to be a nuclear carving artist!"

Ah Yin was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Fang Bo, don't worry, just listen to me first."

It was early summer at this time, the weather turned hot, and Fang Bo was already old, so he broke out in sweat when he woke up in a hurry.But when she saw her speaking softly and softly, with a gentle look on her brows and eyes, all of a sudden, she was less hot and sweaty, which made her feel very comfortable.He said: "You say."

"Ayin has come to Hediao Town as many times as I can count on my five fingers. I have been hearing about the reputation of Shangguan's Fang Bo from the mouth of the Fan family, but I have never been able to meet Fang Bo. Today, Ah Yin came here after hearing a problem. , when I picked up the nuclear carving, I suddenly remembered that I had never met Fang Bo..."

Fang Bo calmed down slowly, and said, "So what if I haven't seen you?"

Ah Yin said: "That's why Ah Yin said that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. Ah Yin has never met Fang Bo, so how can he carve Fang Bo's appearance?"

Fang Bo froze immediately, his eyes changed.

Seeing this, Ah Yin knew that he had guessed right, and said with a smile: "Now I have seen Fang Bo's facial features, and I have already formed a prototype in my heart. There is not much time, so Ah Yin will leave first." One step, two steps, three steps...

"Wait a minute."

Ah Yin turned around and asked, "I don't know what advice Fang Bo has?"

Fang Bo asked: "How do you know?"

When she picked up the carved stone, she was thinking that the peach stone she gave had a thick belly, and when she held it in her palm, it took up a small half of her palm.Generally speaking, figures of this size are carved, either half-length or full-body, so the challengers all chose the Eighteen Arhats, or Maitreya Buddha, or the Eight Immortals, these are the most common among the gods in the nuclear sculpture.

But these are not what Fang Bo wants.

So what does Fang Bo want?
Ah Yin said: "When I came here, I heard Fan Jiaxiaolang say that Fang Bo's problem is not new recently. He also tested others in the early years, but it was a pity that he didn't get anything, so he put it on hold until the fighting nuclear conference gradually faded away. Recently, Fang Bo brought it up again. So Ah Yin was thinking, Fang Bo’s test is probably not to test the nuclear carving skills of the nuclear carving skills, nor is it testing the nuclear carving skills of the nuclear carving skills.” After a pause, she said: "Excuse Ah Yin for daring to speculate, but Fang Bo is waiting for someone?"

No matter how she carves the core, she will definitely not be able to carve the core that Fang Bo wanted.

What Fang Bo wants is not a nuclear carving, but a special feeling.

"It was discovered by a little girl..." Fang Bo murmured.

Ah Yin said: "I'm just guessing, please forgive me if I offend you." She bowed and said: "The time is running out, Ah Yin will leave first..."

"No need." Fang Bo said: "Since you have seen through the old man's thinking, you have restored my nuclear carving. Besides, you can't carve his charm, so why bother. Baozi, bring the invitation card, Glancing at Ah Yin, "For this brave, careful and intelligent girl."

A Yin got the compliment, he couldn't help being a little happy, and thanked him generously, saying "Fang Bo's praise".

Also at this time, the curtain on the side pavilion opened, and a blue shadow emerged.

"You don't have to be humble. Uncle Fang has never boasted. It's really surprising that you can guess the reason." The voice was like spring water, which made people feel refreshed. When she looked up, the figure had already appeared beside her. In front of him, he was wearing a simple light-colored brocade robe, with a white jade pendant hanging from his belt, and the jade pendant was an exquisite carving of the toad nucleus of the Three Immortals Opera.

A post is delivered.

The pleasant voice sounded again: "Uncle Fang, you can keep the invitation card, I have some extra here. The girl is smart and worthy of my invitation card."

Fang Bo said: "Young Master, this is not going to work."

Hearing the words "Shaodong's family", Ah Yin's eyelashes twitched, and subconsciously looked at the man in front of him a few more times.

Fang Bo is a member of the Shangguan family, who else is the young master of the Shangguan family besides Shangguan Shixin?
She had always wanted to see Shangguan Shixin, but she didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly today, and he was indeed as she had imagined, a man with handsome features and a glamorous look.But everything is not as attractive as the nuclear carving under his jade pendant.

It's a pity that it's a little far away and I can't see it clearly.

Seeing Ah Yin staring at the nuclei under his jade pendant, Shangguan Shixin couldn't help but smiled knowingly: "This is the nuclei I carved recently." He was overjoyed again, as he had expected, he was really fond of nuclei People, the invitation card was already in front of her eyes, but she stared blankly at his nuclear sculpture.

He took off the jade pendant and handed it to Ah Yin.

Ah Yinfang woke up like a dream, his ears were a little red, and he stared at his nuclear carving as soon as he met him, it was really rude.

Fang Bo said again: "The girl came to me from thousands of miles just for the invitation, how could you intercept me halfway? Besides, if I don't give her the invitation, Yuemo will say that I made things difficult for her..."

Ah Yin heard the meaning of teasing, but it was not easy to refute, so he could only say shyly: "It was just that Ah Yin was in a hurry, so I asked Fang Bo Haihan."

"What about Haihan, you girl's temperament is quite in line with my liking. Baozi!" With a yell, Baozi came in in a hurry, Fang Bo said again: "I haven't brought the invitation yet." Seeing Baozi After glancing at Shangguan Shixin, Fang Bo said confidently and confidently: "Listen to the old man, the young master is at fault for this matter."

Only then did Baozi respond, and sent the invitation as well.

Ah Yin only felt that his life was turning around. Yesterday morning he was still worrying about where to get invitations, but now he had three invitations in front of him.It's just that they can't have all of them.She took the invitation from Baozi, owed Shangguan Shixin, and said: "You will not be rewarded for no merit, thank you, Young Master, for your kindness."

Shangguan Shixin laughed, and said: "It's just being abrupt, and it's embarrassing for the girl."

He took back the invitation, and said: "If the girl doesn't dislike it, I will give this nuclear carving to the girl, and it will be an abrupt gift. I see that the girl seems to like it very much?"

"This...it's not right, thank you, Young Master, for your kindness, but it's too expensive..."

"There is no such thing as preciousness. Shi Xin believes that there are two kinds of joy in carving cores. One is the process of carving cores, and the other is that core carvings can meet the owner they really like."

It was rare for Ah Yin to meet a like-minded nuclear carving artist, and he couldn't help being overjoyed, and suddenly had the feeling of meeting a bosom friend in the mountains and rivers.Now she didn't refuse anymore, she knew well that if she refused, she would be hypocritical, and she would feel sorry for the Three Immortals Playing Toad Nucleus in front of her.

She took it respectfully with both hands.

Fang Bo said casually at the side: "You don't have to keep it in your heart. The Young Master's family has a hobby, which is to give away nuclear carvings. As long as they can be favored by him, no matter who they are, they are willing to give them away. If they don't accept them, he is not happy. Woolen cloth."

Ah Yin thanked him sincerely.

Just accepting gifts from others, you have to return them.

She fumbled in her sleeve pocket, and after a long while, she found a lotus pond moonlight core sculpture, and said shyly: "The Shaodong family gave me the three fairy opera toad core sculpture, and Ah Yin can only return it with the core carving. This is the core sculpture I carved recently. The nuclei carving, the craftsmanship is vulgar, not as good as the young master..."

"Coincident, what a coincidence." Shangguan Shi said: "The lotus leaves are in the fields, and the knife skills are exquisite in the details. The girl's craftsmanship really surprised me." He thought that Ah Yin was just a fledgling nuclear carver, but he didn't expect to see it at this moment. With a solid foundation, it is absolutely impossible to reach such a level without seven or eight years.

As soon as Ah Yin heard it, he knew that he really liked it, and his heart relaxed.

At this time, she was a little thankful to Mu Yanghou. When she sent another lotus pond moonlight nuclei, Ah Yin was worried that he would say that two nuclei could not send him away, so she simply made preparations and carved another one. She kept it in her sleeve pocket all the time, thinking that she would give it away when Mu Yanghou called again, but she didn't expect it to be a return gift to Shangguan Shixin.

At the beginning, she was afraid that Mu Yanghou would be disgusted, so she spent a lot of thought on carving.

Seeing Shangguan Shixin's appearance of being in love with him now, while joy wells up spontaneously, there is also a faint sense of pride.Just like what Shangguan Shixin said just now - there are two kinds of joy in carving cores. It is the blessing of core carvings and the luck of core carving technicians to meet a master who sincerely likes them.
