On Yanglou Street, under Baibaozhai.

Cao Daren covered his forehead and looked at the window above. After coming, he basically got used to it once a day.

"Young Master... are you okay?"

On the second floor of Baibaozhai, a woman leaned against the window, covering her lips and panic in her eyes.

Seeing that he was not an assassin, he breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "It's okay, be careful in the future."

Rubbing his head hurt, he looked at the woman and suddenly felt something was wrong again.

This scene...is exactly the same as Pan Jinlian’s first encounter with Ximen Qing!

He looked up and looked at it carefully. He was really a pretty woman. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Girl, you don't call him Jinlian, are you?"

The woman by the window was stunned and shook her head apologized and said, "The little woman's surname is Su and Xiangning, and she is not the one she said."

Cao Hua breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wooden stick from the ground, threw it hard: "You almost scared me to death. It is very dangerous to fall from high altitude. If it hit Ximen Qing, you will suffer."

"Xiao Su!"

As he was talking, a burst of angry voices came.

Chen Yu, who was furious with someone, saw his sister being teased in a blink of an eye, walked to the window angrily and raised his head and said, "You go in, this scholar is not a good person, be careful to be deceived by him."

Su Xiangning apologized at Cao Hua and closed the window.

Cao Hua's face was innocent, but he was injured!

He hasn't revealed his true colors yet. What does it mean to be a good person?

Chen Yu inserted his waist and said angrily, "What do you want to do, a scholar? This is my Baibaozhai territory. Do you know who my father is?"

I know who your father is, so I can’t be Chen Wansan!

Thinking of this in his heart, he looked polite and spread the folding fan, revealing four big words, and said apologetically: "The girl misunderstood. Su was just curious, come and take a look."

Chen Yu frowned slightly, staring at the four big words on the folding fan, with a very strange expression and his eyes becoming more and more fierce.

He looked down at it, but saw that the four big words "do whatever you want" on the folding fan were extremely conspicuous.

Well... I got it backwards.

He quickly put away the fan and said with a sarcastic smile: "The saint said: If you are upright, you will do it without orders. If you are not upright, you will not obey even if you are ordered. Do things according to what you think in your heart. I, Su Taibai, have been in a ten-year cold life. The four words "do what you want" are the foundation of your life...

"Okay, okay!"

Chen Yu was most afraid of meeting a poor scholar who was full of great principles. He felt his scalp numb and waved his sleeves: "I am annoyed, I'm thinking about your tofu shop."

He performed a scholarly ceremony in a good manner and turned around to say goodbye.

Outside Baibaozhai, Li Ya, who heard the words, walked over and took over the conversation: "Brother, this is polite, and merchants should be based on sincerity. Baibaozhai opened the door to do business, but did things that were unconscience-free. I am really ashamed of the teachings of the saints."

"My surname is Li, are you done?"

Chen Yu was so angry that he was caught and bitten to death. Anyone would be angry. She said angrily: "I will refund your money. I am so aggressive, what kind of man is this man."

Li Ya shook her head gently: "I don't need to lose money. You don't need to return this hairpin. I've spent money to buy a lesson."

This is to admit death and make Baibaozhai embarrassed.

Chen Yu was thinking a lot and gritted his teeth and said, "Since you think there is something wrong with the hairpin and you are unwilling to retreat, just repair it for you according to the rules. What's the big deal?"

Li Ya smiled even more when she heard this. Repair it well? If the jade artifact can be repaired, why should I use gold to make up the corner of the jade seal in the country?

"Okay, if you can erase the extra bit of this jade hairpin, I will admit that it is unreasonable. If you make a mistake, don't blame me for being sarcastic. Everyone is in business and must stand criticism."

Li Ya is not a brainless person. She is very straightforward but has no problem at all. Who made Bai Baozhai lose the blame first?

Chen Yu snorted, took the wooden box and returned to the shop.

Cao Hua was quite interested in how to repair it, so he followed a pair of ladies and ladies into the shop and stretched his neck to look at it.

Baibaozhai is a big shop, and the manager inside is in a hurry to explain to the lady who returns the goods. The guy found a craftsman from behind.

The craftsman was in his fifties, with gray hair and noble clothes. He was called "Wu Qiaoshou" and was the best craftsman in the Shen family.

Chen Yu whispered a few words to Wu Qiaoshou, and then he took the jade hairpin and looked at it carefully.

Without everyone's expectations, even Wu Qiaoshou, who is famous for his superb skills, cannot repair it. Jade is not gold and silver, but if it is destroyed, it is ruined. Apart from cutting off one layer, it cannot be restored. The jade hairpin is already slender, and if it is cut off one layer, it becomes a needle.

Chen Yu's face turned pale. He relied on fame to open a shop on Yanglou Street. He had no shortage of money for his relationships. If he couldn't repair it well, Li Ya would use it to promote it. Who would have wanted to buy jewelry in her shop?

But after being caught, she couldn't even have the best craftsman in the family, so what could she do? After thinking about it, she still suppressed her anger and was about to pay Li Ya a lot of money.

"Miss Chen, can you show it to me?"

At this moment, a voice came.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the scholar in white robe and bearded walked up to him with a smile.

Chen Yu wrinkled: "What can you see as a scholar?"

As a scholar, Li Ya thought she was here to help, so she smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, is there any reason why she can't help but open the door to do business?"

Chen Yu was so angry that hesitated for a moment, but hesitated for a moment, and handed the jade hairpin to Cao Hua.

Cao Hua looked at it casually in his hand, and couldn't help but frown. The materials were good, but the workmanship was indeed rough. He hooked his finger at the old craftsman standing next to him: "Borrow the carving knife and use it."

Wu Qiaoshou is an expert. From the movements of holding the hairpin, it can be seen that it is the posture of a craftsman. Only craftsmen will deliberately hold the position without patterns for observation and refining.

Anyway, it was a useless hairpin, and Wu Qiao handed out the slender carving knife without hesitation.

Chen Yu's face darkened and he wanted to say something, but when he saw that the scholar in white in front of him didn't even look at it carefully, he used a carving knife to operate it.

"what you do!"

Chen Yu was already angry, but he suddenly became anxious and wanted to raise his hand to stop him, but was stopped by the old man beside him.

Everyone was confused, but Wu Qiaoshou was full of surprise.

Generally speaking, when carving jade, especially light objects, you must first fix it before you can cut it. However, this scholar in white held a carving knife in one hand and a jade hairpin in the other hand, and his fingers rotated gently, and the carving knife wandered on the jade hairpin.

Both hands move at the same time, but they are outrageously stable.

This is no less than painting on a lonely boat with big waves and undulating body with big waves, and a little bumpy and out of sync, it will cause flaws in the whole blessing scroll.

Li Ya and a few friends were just watching the show, but at this time they realized something was wrong. This little scholar was actually an expert.

Due to the rules of the craftsmen, no one came close to them to avoid accidents. However, the ladies and wives present were confused and stared at the strange scholar curiously.

After a while, you can already see the shallow patterns on the jade hairpin, which are peony flowers connected together.

Chen Yu was stunned for a long time before he reacted and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Wu, what is he carving?"

Wu Qiao stared at the scholar's technique without turning his eyes and sighed for a long time: "What is carving is not important, it is done from beginning to end, and it has been practiced in just a few decades."

"Um?"

Chen Yu frowned and looked carefully, and found that the scholar had never stopped his hand from beginning to now. The slender jade hairpin, which was almost covered with petal patterns, still seemed at ease.

Is this a person?

Several experts in jewelry business also saw the trick at this time. Li Ya was stunned, but she didn't expect to meet such a skilled craftsman.

However, he was also a little strange. Craftsmen make a living by craftsmanship. The older the craftsman, the higher the status, and it is impossible to have such craftsmanship without years of precipitation. Although this scholar in white has two beards, he looks only about twenty years old. Could it be that he still practiced from his mother's womb?

This reflects the advantages of travelers.

Cao Hua held the carving knife for more than twenty years. Even though his career was successful and his business grew, he did not give up his ability to make a living out of hobbies.

But after all, it is not his own body. He is not familiar with the strength and finger size. It is awkward to work with heavy leather gloves. In the past, this kind of work that has no technical content and experience can be carved with his eyes closed just by feeling.

After a while, Cao Hua put away the carving knife and looked back and forth for a few times, but still felt dissatisfied. He turned his head and chuckled, "You can only carve it like this, you can see."

A few people came up, Wu Qiao took it with her hand, rotated it up and down and looked carefully, but she didn't say anything for a long time.

Chen Yu squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a long time before he found that the knife that came out of the word "Run" started with dozens of petals on the jade hairpin. The petals were different in size, but the shape and edge curves were exactly the same, and they were integrated into the fourteen small characters.

It is not an exaggeration to describe such craftsmanship as ingenious skills.

Wu Qiaoshou believed that he could do something comparable, but he never dared to say that he could pick it up easily. He would turn decay into magic with one knife, and directly make the use of a waste hairpin not picking up any problems more exquisite than what is sold in the store. What he needed is not only the techniques, but also his own understanding of jewelry.

In modern times, this is called ‘Aesthetics and Design Ability’.

Chen Yu watched for a long time before he came to his senses. He looked at the scholar in white who was smiling and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Who are you?"

"Hahaha.."

Cao Hua laughed like a man who thought he was very strong, spread a folding fan, and wrote four big words:

I'm a good person!

Afterwards, he left with great strides, leaving behind a mysterious back of everyone.

The lady watching the lady was amazed at her craftsmanship, and she was also inexplicably whispering:

"He is pretty, he's just stupid..."

The official Cao, who stepped out of the threshold, staggered and quickly walked out in a graceful manner.

"Quickly, stop that scholar and don't let him run away."

Chen Yu can make the God of Wealth fly away. Such a good craftsman is hard to find. If he invites him back to the shop as the chief scientist, he will not have to worry about not being able to do business in the palace.
