carved heart

Chapter 66
"Yin what?" The two maidservants opened the curtain, and a crescent-white figure walked in. When he raised his eyes, his dark pupils were filled with a warm smile, and he said, "Jiang Man told you again. What?"

Jiang Man winked at Ah Yin.

Ah Yin knew it. After inheriting the family business from Shangguan Shixin, Jiang Man became more and more in awe of this young boss.Ah Yin smiled and said, "I said you went to Baiyue, and Baiyue brought back Lingnan tea."

Jiang Man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Ah Yin, and his eyes signaled Miss Yin's great kindness, and I will repay it tomorrow!

With a smear of oil on the soles of his feet, he slipped away quickly.

Shangguan Shixin sat down beside Ah Yin, poured a cup of Lingnan tea, took a few sips, and said, "You don't have to pay attention to what he said."

A Yin said: "I didn't know about Jiang Man's temperament for the first time," he said, looking up and down at Shangguan Shixin.Shangguan Shixin was a little nervous and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ah Yin made a conclusion.

"blacken."

Shangguan Shixin laughed loudly: "The sun in Baiyue is scorching hot, and it is still hot in September. After walking outside for a few days, I took off a layer of skin when I went back. Didn't you see how I looked when I just left Baiyue, black and white?" It's like..." Stretching out his fingers, he pointed to the sky outside.

Ah Yin said, "So dark?"

Shangguan Shixin said solemnly: "The sky will be another hour later."

Ah Yin was amused.

He said: "As soon as I came back, I heard your name as a thousand-handed craftsman. Our Shangguan family has been in Suizhou for nearly a hundred years, and it is not as famous as yours for more than half a year. What can we gain from nuclear carving? I've been busy with my family business for the past six months, but unfortunately I can't delve into nuclei carving, and my skills are definitely not as good as before."

A Yin said: "Ziye's words are wrong. He has studied hard on nuclear carving skills, but Ziye's experience must have changed a lot. If he regains nuclear carving in time, it will definitely be a new realm."

When she spoke, her expression was very sincere. In the past six months, she had traveled to many places and met many people. There were many intrigues and intrigues everywhere. She felt that such a kind of her was more and more valuable.

Shangguan Shixin's expression softened, and he said, "With you as Ziye's bosom friend, I will have no regrets in this life."

He moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything, sighed lightly, and changed his words: "You came here to say goodbye, right?"

Ah Yin nodded, raised the corners of his lips, and said: "I have Ziye as my bosom friend, and I have no regrets in this life. I never explained to others why I came here, and Ziye said what was in my heart as soon as he opened his mouth."

She raised her teacup, took another sip of tea, and said, "My grandfather once told me that although a nuclear carving is only a square inch, it can have a vast universe. hands."

Shangguan Shixin said: "It's just that nuclear science is too different from what you imagined?"

She nodded.

"At first I thought that nuclear science was like a classroom, where a hundred flowers bloomed and a hundred schools of thought contended, but in the past half a year I found that it was not. Nuclear science has been involved in the Tian family, and everything is based on the emperor's preferences. Every nuclear carving technician studies hard for The purpose is to please the emperor. The emperor loves landscape carvings, so we can only carve landscape carvings. Over time, most of them forget the original intention of carving cores." She said seriously: "I just want to live up to my original intention."

Shangguan Shixin said: "Ziye understands you. It's okay if you want to leave. Lan Zheng has been waiting for many years to be your substitute. But no matter where you go, you must tell me. The door of Shangguan's house will always be open for you."

Ah Yin said, "Is Ziye worried about my safety?"

Shangguan Shixin smiled and said, "Why should Ziye worry about the safety of the thousand-handed artist? Your servant surnamed Fan is so capable. With him around, I don't worry. I just want to know your whereabouts, so I can feel at ease when I know it."

Fan Haohe got A Yin's approval half a year ago and opened a restaurant in Suizhou.

The wine shop is full of people coming and going, and soon you will know the news from the north and the south.One day, A Yin had a wonderful idea, thinking that Mu Yanghou could get a hidden pile out, why couldn't she?She learned in style, and encountered many problems at first, but fortunately, they were all solved later.

Now it has begun to take shape. Although it is not as good as Mu Yanghou's, it is enough for Suizhou.

She sets up the arena every day, which naturally attracts the wind. She has been in danger five or six times, but because of her many hidden troubles discovered in advance, she saved the danger every time.

As time went by, no one dared to provoke her.

She smiled at Shangguan Shixin: "Qingming is approaching, I am going to go back to Gongcheng to pay respects to my grandfather. I want to visit Qingzhou after that, and I will be back in a month at most. Ziye doesn't need to worry."

The people of Shangguan's family treated her very well, and in her heart, this place has long been regarded as home.

On Gongcheng's side, the parents sent letters several times, most of which were asking for money, but Ah Yin didn't come forward, and Fan Haohe came forward to solve the problem.She also didn't know what method Fan Haohe used. Since two months ago, there has been no news from Gongcheng.

Seemingly remembering something, she said again: "I heard that the palace is short of core carvers again?"

Shangguan Shixin said: "You are really well informed. I only found out about it yesterday. The newly promoted nuclear carver became a concubine, and there was another vacancy. Yesterday Yongping just came to order, Let us pick a nuclear carving artist to send over. You have had a great reputation in the past six months. If you are interested, you are the best candidate. If you are not interested, I will let the remaining seventeen nuclear carving technicians choose one to send Go to Yongping."

After Ah Yin left, Jiang Man came in.

He said, "The Young Master's family is relieved?"

Shangguanshi said: "With her temperament and pursuit of nuclear carvings, she would not be willing to go to Yongping." But... still heaved a sigh of relief.Last year, my father once said that Yongping's nuclear carving circle is no better than Suizhou, and the nature of it has changed since it was really involved with the Tianjia.

It was a mass of black sewage that couldn't be washed clean!
He didn't want her to go from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Man said: "Young Master, why are you worried? If she really wants to go, you can tell her your concerns."

Shangguan Shixin shook his head slowly.

"I have inherited the family business. There are some things to say and some things not to say." He sighed, "I'll go and see how my father is doing today. If there is still no improvement, you can go to Baiyue and invite a doctor. Look."

Jiang Man looked at the slightly slumped shoulders of Shaodong's family, feeling a little sad in his heart.

...not easy.

"Where?"

Yan Shen said: "I don't know what to say back to Master Hou." As he said that, he muttered again, and said, "Master Hou has almost given everything to him in the past six months, and Miss Yin is no different than before. What does she want to do? It took half a month to find out, let alone find out what she was thinking." In the past six months, Miss Yin's methods have become more and more similar to those of Lord Hou. To the opposing camp?
Yan Shen dared not open his mouth.

Lord Hou had a conflict with Miss Yin before, and the two have not communicated with each other so far, let alone met.Of course, Lord Hou is also very busy here. After the fall of the Wang family, there are other remnants.

Shen Changtang said: "There is no need to send anyone to follow, she can already protect herself."

Yan Shen agreed.

After a while, Yan Mo came in and reported: "Report to Lord Hou, the Holy Majesty has sent someone to Gongcheng."

Shen Changtang frowned slightly.

"Gongcheng?"

Yanmo said: "If you go back to Lord Hou, it is Gongcheng in Suizhou, the hometown of Miss Yin." Yan Shen suddenly felt strange, and said: "It's strange, why did the Holy One send people to Gongcheng? Suizhou is plentiful, and Gongcheng is nothing more than peach pits."

Yan Shen secretly sighed.

These days, not only is Miss Yin's mind unpredictable, but the mind of the Holy One is also becoming more and more unpredictable.

In the weather of March and April, Sun Shilang climbed up to the tallest building in Suizhou with a folding fan. Sun Jiulang frowned again and again with his playful smile.Sun Jiulang said, "Tenth brother."

With a shake of the folding fan, Sun Jiulang's mouth was blocked.

"Brother Jiu, I know what you're going to say, but I think I like this fan. Don't expect me to keep it in the house." Before Sun Jiulang could speak, Sun Shilang said in a foolish manner: "Brother Jiu, see someone Are you there? That one is Miss Yin's carriage."

Sun Jiulang immediately looked over.

There was not a single carriage on the official road, and when I looked back, I saw Sun Shilang holding back a smile.

Sun Jiulang was annoyed.

Sun Shilang hurriedly begged for mercy: "Good brother Jiu, I was wrong, don't be angry. I just like to see you being so angry with me." Before he finished speaking, Sun Jiulang clenched his fists.At this time, Sun Shilang shouted: "Ninth brother! This time it's true!"

Sun Jiulang said coldly: "One time is enough."

"No, it's true this time. How dare I lie to Ninth Brother twice? Look, that's Fan Xiaolang next to Miss Yin, and there are a dozen followers behind him. Hey, I'm really envious, where did Fan Xiaolang get it?" Such attendants? They all look ugly, but at a glance, you can tell that they are the sons of the Lian family."

Sun Shilang explained it in detail, and Sun Jiulang reluctantly believed it, and looked sideways.

Outside the city gate of Suizhou, there really was Fan Haohe.

There were four or five people leading the way in the front, seven or eight people following behind, and three or four carriages in the middle. This posture seemed ordinary, and it didn't fit the Yin family's title of a thousand-handed master, but Sun Shilang was a man of knowledge.

Those few carriages looked plain and simple, but it was not a problem that could be solved with money if they wanted to order them. After a rough calculation, they couldn't be bought without five or six hundred gold.Looking at those followers again, the clothes were thin, but Sun Shilang, who had tried his skills before, also knew that they were all wearing invulnerable back armor.

Where he got it, Sun Shilang didn't know, anyway, it had nothing to do with Mu Yanghou.

The young master of Shangguan's family went out all the year round, discussing business in various places, and when they encountered good things, they were bound to be the first to bring them to the Yin family.

Sun Shilang was thinking far ahead, and Sun Jiulang said, "She's going to Gongcheng."

"Ah? How does Ninth Brother know?"

Sun Jiulang stretched out his hand and said, "Let you read more books on astronomy and geography on weekdays. That official road only leads to Gongcheng, so go back immediately and fly the pigeons to pass the book." After a pause, Sun Jiulang asked again: "By the way, Where is Lu Lan?"

Sun Shilang asked: "Brother Nine, why do you put women's affairs on my side?" He shook his folding fan, and said: "Master Hou ordered, let's see how Miss Yin handles it. But, Master Hou also said, Yin Yin The girl's methods are still kind, but not cruel enough. Failure to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots is always a disaster. Now that Miss Yin has left Suizhou, we should be able to do it. I think Lu Lan is indeed a disaster material. She was humiliated and tortured by beggars, and then sold to Hualou, tortured It hasn’t collapsed after a few months. I heard that last month he was fighting for a job with Hualou’s oiran, and this person really can’t be kept, with such a persevering mind, once he finds an opportunity, wouldn’t he be able to go to heaven?”

"Have you gone to the Flower House?"

"Hey, Brother Nine, your focus is wrong. I'm doing something for Lord Hou! I didn't delay at all!" Sun Shilang raised a smiling face and said, "I'll send someone to mess with me. Nope, she hired an ox cart yesterday, and she seems to be fleeing. I inquired, she is going to Qingzhou. Her household registration documents are gone, it is impossible to take the official road, she can only take the mountain road, and You must pass Mount Mang.”

Sun Jiulang asked: "Has the arrangement been completed?"

Sun Shilang said: "There is a cliff on Mount Mount, if you fall off it, you will die without a trace."

"Sister Ahe seems to be very reluctant to let her sister go. She sent us ten miles away, but she still hasn't left." Jiang Xuan let go of the curtain of the car, sat back, covered her mouth and smiled, "Sister Ahe really has a cold face and a warm heart. She was the first woman last year. This is the first time I see Sister Ah He, I never expected today."

Ah Yin said: "It takes a long time to see people's hearts."

Jiang Xuan nodded.

"This time I finally fully understood the meaning of this sentence."

A Yin took the file to flatten the surface of the peach pit, and soon picked up the awl to carve out a pair of compassionate eyes.Jiang Xuan asked, "Is this for Sister Ahe?" Ah Yin said, "Well, when we come back to Shangguan's house, Ahe's stomach should be four months old."

Jiang Xuan said: "Is this Avalokitesvara?"

Ah Yin nodded.

Jiang Xuan said with emotion: "My sister's skills have really improved a lot. Grandpa Izumi knows how gratifying I am." For more than half a year, my sister has set up rings every day to compete with nuclear carvers from all over the world, and she has made rapid progress. .

Looking at the skillful movements in Ah Yin's hands, she thought of someone for no reason.

In the past six months, my sister didn't mention Mu Yanghou again.

She only mentioned it carefully once, and her sister's face changed when she mentioned it. She had never seen her sister have such a look, and since then she dared not ask again, for fear of making her sad.

And since she lived in a separate room, she has never seen her sister's carving of Mu Yanghou's nuclei again.

Mu Yanghou was like the fire in Shangguan's house, since then he disappeared from their lives.
