carved heart

Chapter 65

Chapter 65
Shangguan Shixin said helplessly: "Shixin understands, so I won't mention it." He knew that Fangbo valued friendship, otherwise he wouldn't have been waiting in Hediao Town for so many years for his old friend, from black hair to gray hair.

Shangguan Shixin looked at Ah Yin, and said: "The fire only burned half of the back house, and the pharmacy was not involved. If Miss Jiang needs any medicine, just send someone back to get it."

Ah Yin said: "Okay," paused, and then asked: "Why did Zi Ye seek me?"

Shangguan Shixin took a look at Fang Bo, and said: "Since we left a few years ago, my mother has been nagging Fang Bo in my ear. It's rare for Fang Bo to come back..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Bo got up, waved his hands and said, "Okay, I'll go see your mother, and then your father. Back then, your father once said that I would come back one day and show me his nuclear carving. I stopped by and asked when he would be able to cash in."

After Fang Bo's figure disappeared in Renxinyuan, before Shangguan Shixin could speak, Ah Yin said: "Ziye wants to ask about Mu Yanghou?"

She put it bluntly.

Shangguan Shixin sighed softly: "If it wasn't for the matter of his father, Ziye would never have mentioned Mu Yanghou to you. It's just that in the past few days, things have come up strangely, and Ziye still has to ask after thinking about it."

He looked at her fixedly.

"Is this fire related to Mu Yanghou?"

Ah Yin asked, "Does Ziye believe me?"

Shangguan Shixin said without any hesitation, "As long as you speak, I will believe you."

Ah Yin said: "I can only be sure that Deng Zhong came with bad intentions."

Shangguan Shixin felt relieved, he said: "I believe in you."

Ah Yin asked, "If so, what should I do?"

He took a deep look at her, and said softly, "I'm afraid you're in trouble." After a pause, he said quickly, "I've thought about it for a few days, and I also guess that this matter has something to do with Deng Zhong. But why did Deng Zhong come to Suizhou? What is father doing?"

He suddenly said, "I'm upset, so I can only tell you."

A Yin said softly: "I am Ziye's bosom friend, and I am willing to listen to what Ziye has to say."

Shangguan Shixin had a conversation with Ah Yin, and Ah Yin analyzed them one by one, and they talked happily.At the end, Shangguan Shixin asked sensitively: "Is the matter of Miss Jiang related to Mu Yanghou?"

A Yin lowered his eyes, and said: "If you are not in his position, you will not seek his own affairs."

He said, "As long as you want, Ziye will always be there."

When Ah Yin left Shangguan's house, it was already late.

Not long after she boarded the carriage, she realized that she had left something behind in the Renxin Yuan.She ordered Fan Haohe to turn back and hurried back to the Renxinyuan.Seeing that it was Ah Yin, the attendants guarding the gate of the courtyard did not stop her and let her in.

When Ah Yin was about to knock on the door, Shangguan Shixin's voice suddenly came from inside.

"Father once tested me and asked me if I knew the eighteen states of nuclear carving. Does Fang Bo know?"

Hearing the five words "Eighteen states of nuclear carving", Ah Yin's footsteps stopped immediately.

"The eighteen states of nuclear carving, the old man has heard of it."

"I also ask Fang Bo for advice."

"It's just that I've heard of it. I still listened to the one who said it back then. It said it was eighteen states, but it was actually eighteen nuclear carvings."

"Is it Fang Bo, your old friend? What kind of nuclear sculpture?"

"I didn't know so much. He was very secretive back then, and he refused to reveal a single word. He yelled these words in his sleep. The next day, the old man tricked him, and he never drank with the old man again! "

Ah Yin suddenly remembered that Mu Yanghou also said "Eighteen states of nuclear carving". At that time, he said that if he encountered anything related to the eighteen states of nuclear carving in the future, he should try to stay away as much as possible.

Ah Yin thought for a while, but did not interrupt Fang Bo's conversation with Shangguan Shixin.

She left Shangguan's house, returned to the carriage, and asked Fan Haohe to go directly to the Chengnan Medical Center.

Halfway through, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Ah Yin asked, "What's the matter?"

Fan Haohe said: "A child passed by just now, and now he is leaving."

Ah Yin's "hmm" came from the carriage.

Only then did Fan Haohe look away from the alley not far away.But at this moment in the alley, the ragged Lu Lan was surrounded by three or four beggars. The scene was so dirty that Fan Haohe couldn't bear to dirty the eyes of his eldest daughter.

Lu Lan was pushed against the wall with a dead face, and her head hit the wall from time to time due to violent collisions, and the beggars laughed maliciously.

The sky is getting dark, and Suizhou City is getting quieter.

Everything is dirty, everything is uneven, and all scheming is hidden in darkness.

This rough summer is coming to an end.

Tomb-sweeping day is approaching, there are more and more pedestrians on the road, the rain is falling, and the soul is about to break.

The Sun family in Qingzhou returned from worshiping their ancestors at Dongshantou early in the morning, passed by the restaurants in Guilanfang, and bought them generously.Ding Xingwang, a member of the Sun family, had three floors of restaurants full of people.

Xiao Er poured tea and brought snacks to eat, so busy that he never touched the floor.

A young man beckoned, and when the shopkeeper arrived, he said, "We are having lunch here. Our old man has some taboos. He doesn't eat sweet or sour food, and he can't eat poultry either."

The shopkeeper praised: "Okay, we have written it down."

The young man laughed again and said: "Our old man likes to listen to books, let your storyteller tell you some exciting things. I'm sorry for the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I will give orders immediately, and please wait a moment." After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper turned around and went to give orders.

Xiaoer is a clever ghost, seeing the shopkeeper's attitude, he took advantage of the opportunity and asked quietly: "Shopkeeper, what is the origin of this Sun family? Why haven't you heard of it in Suizhou before?"

The shopkeeper slapped his forehead heavily, and said, "Don't be verbose, go to work."

Xiao Er is a newcomer, so of course he doesn't know.

The shopkeeper is a good person, and if he can be the shopkeeper in a restaurant in Guilanfang, the news is naturally one-on-one.It is also miraculous to say that the Sun family in Qingzhou has risen in just nine months, and it has squeezed out a position in Suizhou.

Just now, seeing that the gentleman of the Sun family is polite and polite, and he is not defiant because of the rise of the family, the shopkeeper sighed in his heart, one side of the soil and one side of the people, after all, it is a family with a lot of heritage.

Mr. Storyteller is an old man over half a century old, with a white beard, hiding the vicissitudes and experiences of half a lifetime.With a pat on the gavel, the storyteller stroked his white beard and talked eloquently: "However, what happened in Daxing half a year ago, the Wang family fell, and Yongping was full of blood and rain..."

Half a year's time.

The Wang family rooted in the Yongping court was uprooted, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, the court replaced a large number of courtiers, and fresh blood filled the Yongping court.The majestic relatives are like paper money during the Ching Ming Festival, falling into the brazier, leaving ashes, and when the wind blows, even the dross is gone.

Everyone only said that the new emperor acted vigorously and resolutely, which was quite a remnant of the old emperor Taizu.

The old man of the Sun family shook his head again and again.

Just now the young gentleman came forward with a smile, and said to the shopkeeper: "Our old man can't hear bloody things when eating, the government is too far away, it's boring." The shopkeeper immediately understood, and whispered a few words to the storyteller.

The storyteller slapped the gavel again.

"However, the Shangguan family in Suizhou, a fire swept through nine months ago, burned the Shangguan owner's house, destroyed half of the house, and destroyed how many nuclear carvings! The young owner shoulders the heavy responsibility to rebuild the Shangguan family's glory! The Shangguan family, however, has to mention the nuclei carving artist of the Shangguan family, who has never been seen before or since, and is high-profile. He fights in the arena at noon every day. If she wins, she will give her a thousand gold, and if she loses, she will find medicine for her. It has been 230 years so far. For five days, there has never been a defeat! Half of the people in Suizhou City are driven by her! She is really a strange woman. The nuclear carving artist, surnamed Yin, is known as the thousand-handed artist..."

Mr. Storyteller described the deeds of the nuclear engraver in an exaggerated manner.

The old man loves the bustle of the market the most, and he is engrossed in listening to it.When the storyteller was taking a breath, Old Master Sun asked, "Jiulang, is it true that people challenge that nuclear carving artist every day?"

The young gentleman called Jiulang replied in a low voice: "There is an endless stream."

Grandpa Sun's eyes were not good, he didn't see the melancholy in Sun Jiulang's brow, and asked again: "Where is Shi Lang?"

Sun Jiulang said in a low voice: "Shi Lang had a bad stomach this morning, and he endured it while offering sacrifices to his ancestors, so he just went to find Lang Zhong."

The storyteller picked up the gavel again at this time, and continued on incessantly.

Sun Jiulang walked to the side without a trace, called a servant over, and ordered: "Go and call Shi Lang back, and tell him that one day's worth of fighting will be spared, and one or two of his flesh will be indispensable."

Fan Hao smiled nonchalantly and said: "It's you again."

The folding fan shook, and a handsome gentleman gave him a wild look, and said with a snort: "You girls never said that you can't register again in the ring, so what if you are the gentleman?" The folding fan closed, and the head of the fan nodded, " Hurry up, write down my name, my lord."

Fan Haohe had no choice but to resign himself to his fate. After finishing the strokes, when he raised his eyes, Sun Jiashilang had already leisurely chatted with the nuclear sculptors queuing up to fight in the ring in front of him. After shaking hands, they automatically and consciously moved to the back row.

Fan Haohe had sharp eyes and found that the two nuclear carving technicians had five cents in their hands.

He shook his head.

Sun Shilang swaggered onto the ring, and pointed at A Yin who was in the middle of the ring with his folding fan.

"Today Mr. Ben will definitely convince you to lose!"

Ah Yin is already used to it, this gentleman surnamed Sun will come to fight with her every few days, but he is just a half-hearted person, and he has lost a lot of herbs in the past nine months. Circled.

A Yin nodded slightly and asked, "What do you want to compare?"

Sun Shilang yelled: "Compared to Guanyin's nuclear carving!"

Someone at the bottom laughed and said, "Sun Shilang, can you carve eyes?"

Sun Shilang sneered: "What's the matter, Qianqing!" He stretched out ten fingers to Ah Yin: "I lost, I will find you ten licorice plants!"

A Yin didn't say much, and glanced at Fan Haohe.

Fan Haohe nodded and said: "Sun Langjun is an old acquaintance, and he still behaves according to the old rules. It's only an hour."

With the sound of the gong, all eyes in the audience were on Yin, and no one paid attention to Sun Shilang at all.Since Shangguan's family's Yin family opened the arena, they set up the arena in the Pan'an Pavilion at noon every day, never stingy with their skills, and openly let people watch.

Over time, more and more famous nuclear carving artists came here.

As long as the Yin family starts to carve cores, there will be a group of core carvers around them.In less than a year, the Yin family's reputation has risen sharply. Whenever anyone mentions Suizhou nuclear carving techniques, the Yin family must be the first to mention it, followed by the Shangguan family.

An hour later, Sun Shilang lost without any surprise.

Everyone went to see Ah Yin's nuclear sculpture, and words of praise came out of their mouths.A Yin glanced at Sun Shilang's nuclear sculpture, and said, "Not bad, it's improved compared to before."

Sun Shilang said: "Just wait, I will beat you one day." After a pause, he added: "In a few days, I will send the licorice."

Ah Yin nodded slightly, and said, "It's time to work."

Fan Haohe came over and said: "Sun Langjun, our girl has something to do in a few days, so I won't be in the arena anymore. If you send medicine, it will be sent to the Shangguan Mansion."

Sun Shilang asked, "Why?"

Fan Haohe smiled and said: "I won't tell you."

Sun Shilang still wanted to ask more questions, but he saw his own servants in the crowd with sharp eyes, so he quickly put away his folding fan and slipped away.Afterwards, Ah Yin fought two more fights, and the remaining two nuclear carving artists were quite capable and had a great time. Knowing Ah Yin's rules, they brought licorice grass in advance.

But the result is still lost to Ah Yin.

Ah Yin collected the ganzacao, boarded the carriage, and went back to Shangguan's house.

Ah Yin returned to Heyin Garden.

Soon after Tinghe Garden was burned down, another courtyard was rebuilt. At that time, Lin He offered to change it into Heyin Garden.However, not long after, about three or four months, Lin He and Yuan Bei got married in early December under the matchmaking of the two elders.Lin He's wing room was vacated, and only sisters A Yin and A Xuan lived in the courtyard.

One person lives in the east wing, and the other lives in the west wing.

It was a little bit hot in March and April, Ah Yin took off his cloak, Jiang Xuan just came in, saw the licorice on the table, and said: "Sister, we have enough licorice to fill the house. "

Ah Yin said: "It's better to have more than less. Li Langzhong said that your throat is supported by licorice grass, and you take it in addition to taking medicinal baths every day. You don't feel at ease if you don't stock up more."

Jiang Xuan couldn't laugh or cry: "My voice is no different from before."

Ah Yin said: "It's always right to stock up on more."

In fact, if you listen carefully, there is still a difference. Although it is no longer as hoarse as it was at the beginning, it is still a little less clear than before.Li Langzhong also said that it is impossible for Ah Xuan's voice to recover completely without raising it for three or four years.

Ah Yin asked again: "Is Xiruan packed?"

Jiang Xuan nodded and said: "It's already packed, and it's no problem to leave tomorrow." Ah Yin said: "Let's leave according to the original time. How busy is Ziye these days?"

"I heard from Zhao Niang that tonight, the young master has ordered a meal."

Ah Yin nodded and said: "Okay." After taking two steps, he turned around and said, "Remember to take your medicine."

Sun Shilang was a little bit tangled, and couldn't get what Fan Haohe said.

As soon as he returned to Sun's house, he took a slap from his elder brother.Sun Shilang said: "Ninth brother, if you look at me like that, I will be scared."

Sun Jiulang said: "If I hadn't covered you today, you wouldn't be able to compete with others in the future."

Sun Shilang said: "Brother Ninth's great kindness and virtue, I will never forget my younger brother! One day it will be..." His ears were pinched, he said: "Brother Ninth, be gentle, am I doing something for Lord Hou? "

Sun Jiulang said: "You go too often, you have to be careful, don't let people suspect, especially Miss Yin."

Sun Shilang said with a smile: "How can I not know the importance, Brother Jiu, don't worry!" As if thinking of something, Sun Shilang said distressedly: "Today I heard from Miss Yin's servant that she seems to be planning to leave, but it's a pity that the last six months Fan's boy is getting more and more cunning, and it's very difficult to talk. In a few days, someone from Lord Hou will come to ask questions..." He sighed: "It's all because of the young master of the Shangguan family. The Shangguan mansion looks like the inner courtyard of the imperial palace Yes, it is difficult to arrange manpower."

Sun Jiulang said indifferently: "With the lessons learned from the past, you will be a fool if you don't guard against others. Lord Hou's people came here and told the truth. Lord Hou only gave orders at the beginning, just take care of them carefully."

Sun Shilang shook his head, and said, "I've heard of the Fenghuo opera princes before, but this is the first time I know how to promote the whole family for the sake of beauty."

"You are stupid, aren't you? We need to know the real reason why those people do things. Our Sun family has been an extreme minister 80 years ago! Don't think too much! Our two brothers boarded the boat of Mu Yanghou, It's all glory and one loss! Do things well and talk less."

Sun Shilang shook his folding fan, shook his head and said, "It's clear."

Seeing that the younger brother, who was out of tune, ran out again, Sun Jiulang grabbed his shirt.

"The old lady is waiting for you in the house."

Sun Shilang dodged lightly, and escaped nimbly: "Ninth Brother, delay for me for a while, I will go out to find the licorice for that confidante of the lord. The precious herbs sent by the lord last time can be sandwiched together this time." Sent."

Sun Jiulang had no choice but to say, "Go early and return early."

At this moment, the girl with a beautiful face that the brothers of the Sun family were talking about was sitting in the warm pavilion of Renxinyuan, holding a cup of tea, and said in surprise: "The taste of this tea is really special, where did Ziye go?"

It was Jiang Man who answered Ah Yin.

After more than half a year, the entourage who used to be a little carefree has calmed down a lot after traveling all over the country with Shangguan Shixin.

"Shaodong's family went to Baiyue half a year ago and drank Lingnan tea in Baiyue. The locals used the nine-nine-to-one brewing method when brewing Shengpu. The Shaodong family thought it tasted good, so they brought some back."

Hearing this, Ah Yin said with emotion: "Baiyue, Ziye has gone so far. I heard that Baiyue is a desolate place, and usually only officials who have committed serious mistakes will release Baiyue. I didn't expect such good tea. "

Jiang Man said with a smile: "Today is different from the past. Half a year ago, the new champion of the imperial court went to Baiyue to reform. Today's Baiyue has a new look, and the folk customs are also simple. When the young master went to the house, he still thought about it. I want to invite you to go to Baiyue together to enjoy the scenery of Lingnan."

Ah Yin asked, "Where is Ziye?"

Jiang Mandao: "Young master just came back, dressed in dust and dust, go to change clothes first. When our young master sees you, we must be neatly dressed, so as not to feel abrupt. Miss Yin, you also know that our young master has a good appearance In the past six months, there have been quite a few people who have embraced our young master, but our young master is quite a principled person, those are all rouge and vulgar fans, not eye-catching, not as good as Yin..."
