Eunuch Song replied: "Master Fu was originally from Ling County, Jinzhou Prefecture, and now his household registration has been moved to the capital."
"Does his prickly temper follow his father or his mother?" the emperor asked again.
"It is said that Mr. Fu's mother was adopted by the Fu family. Mr. Fu lost his father when he was young, which may have caused him to have a stubborn temper."
The emperor snorted coldly: "He has no father. You have a thorny head and no one has taught you. No wonder you dare to provoke me like this."
Eunuch Song asked softly: "Do you need help from me to beat Mr. Fu?"
"No need, how many people are there these days who can be a thorn in the side and dare to be a thorn in the side?"
The emperor reopened the memorial to review.
Eunuch Song smiled: "Your Majesty still thinks highly of Master Fu."
"Don't I just owe him a wife? I will give him one in return."
" Does the emperor mean to help Mr. Fu go to the Queen Mother to make a case?”
"Do I dare to disobey my mother's will?" The emperor glanced at him, "Aren't there several princesses who are still waiting to be married? Let him choose one."
What an honor it is to be the emperor's son-in-law.
Idle people are not worthy.
Eunuch Song suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. This old slave has seen that Mr. Fu is deeply in love with Miss Yan Er. If you let Mr. Fu become your consort, it will be more serious than the previous marriage between Miss Cai and Mr. Fu. ..."
As soon as the emperor picked up the pen, his hand moved.
"What you said makes sense." Immediately, he slapped the wolf hair on the imperial case, "In this case, I'm afraid Xiantou will have no intention of going to court."
"That's it, I don't care."
——
The red sun is scorching hot, especially in the afternoon.
Even so, Yan Funing still followed Yan Bojian out of the house.
The brother and sister headed for the outskirts of Beijing.
The carriage stopped outside an abandoned farmyard, and the brother and sister quietly entered.
There are people waiting in the room in the courtyard.
When Zhenfeng saw his master coming, he pointed at the human-shaped sack with his hands and feet tied inside and said, "This is Gao Wei."
Yan Bojian moved his fingers and signaled to General Zhenfeng The black cloth covering Gao Wei's head was pulled off.
Zhenfeng understood and pulled it away, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.
Xu Shi had his head covered for a long time. When he saw the light, he squinted his eyes.
Because his mouth was stuffed with a ball of rags, and a thick hemp rope was wrapped around his mouth and all the way to the back of his head, he couldn't speak or make much sound.
Seeing a young man and woman arriving, Gao Wei moved.
The eyes were frightened, as if asking them what they wanted to do.
Yan Bojian moved his fingers again: "The things in his mouth have been completely wiped out."
Zhenfeng asked his men to do it, and he reported: "Sir, this person is cunning and escaped once on the road. "
His mouth finally relaxed, Gao Wei called for help: "Come here, help me, kill someone!"
"Just say this old boy is dishonest." Zhenfeng kicked him. He lowered his jaw, "Try shouting again?"
Gao Wei languished: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Yan Funing asked quietly: "Your master is the jade craftsman Yang Shu. Tell me why you no longer work under him?"
Gao Wei stretched his neck, leaned sideways against the wall, and muttered: " I'm so good at my craft that he can't tolerate me."
"Oh, really?" Yan Funing frowned, "Isn't it because your hands and feet are unclean?"
" Nonsense!" Gao Wei straightened up, "Did the old man say that to me?" "Isn't it?" Yan Funing asked.
Gao Wei raised his nose: "The old man only gave me one tael of silver every month. At that time, I was a young man. When I was about to get married, how could one tael of silver a month be enough?"
"So you used the jade shop to line your own pockets?" Yan Funing asked again.
“You, little girl, can’t you just listen to what I have to say?”
“You say it.”
“If you don’t harm my life, I will say it. ." Gao Wei looked around in horror.
Except for the overly pretty little girl in front of him, the men next to him were obviously all practicing men.
He was tied hand and foot and had no way to escape.
"I won't take your life." Yan Fu said calmly and took out a silver ingot from her purse. "If you tell the truth, the silver will be yours."
Gao Wei licked it Licking his dry lips: "I said, I told the truth." He looked at the man next to him again, "You guys would be good and give me some water to drink!"
Zhenfeng looked at Yan Bojian and saw the master After nodding, he ordered his men to feed Gao Wei some water.
After drinking the water, Gao Wei finally said: "My master's requirements for making jade are too high, and the raw materials he found are also expensive."
"I should have made a lot of money, but his profits were kept low. He said that doing business should be based on integrity. "
"Not only that, he is slow and it takes him half a month to make something. There are many people who come to him to make jade. He is a high-ranking official.”
“Those who specifically asked him to do it asked him to complete it by name. Yang Yutang and I were very quick, but he refused to let us touch it.”
Yan Funing said: "Since your master won't let you touch it, it means that your craftsmanship is not good enough. It's okay to get one tael of silver a month, and the price was more than ten years ago."
"The craftsmanship is sufficient, for example, my drawing skills are good. The master is afraid of damaging the samples given by the customers, so every time he orders me to draw a copy in advance." Gao Wei said quite proudly, "My skills are not good enough. Not good?”
“In that case, given time, your master will definitely entrust you with the important task.”
Gao Wei shook his head: “He has a son of his own, and I don’t want to inherit it. I just want him to do the precious jade work for me, but I’m tired of making jade rings every time.”
“That’s why you left?”
"I want to get married. I have a sweetheart across the street. She wants me to give out a gift of a hundred taels of silver. How can I have so much money? So I had to leave the jade shop and find another job. Gone.”
Yan Funing sneered: "Nonsense, you were kicked out by your master."
Gao Wei frowned: "Girl knows so clearly, why bother to ask?"
Yan Funing asked from the collar He took out a jade pendant, reached to the back of his neck and untied it, then picked up the strap on the jade plate and showed the patterns on the jade pendant to the middle-aged man on the ground.
"Do you recognize this jade pendant?"
Gao Wei seemed to be frightened and kept shrinking back.
Zhenfeng immediately held him down: "Be honest!"
Gao Wei swallowed: "I recognize it. More than ten years ago, a lady brought a sample and asked the master to make such a jade pendant. The sample It was me who copied the painting. It was also that year that the jade shop suffered a fire. The fire was strange. The person who made the jade pendant wanted to kill him!"
Yan Fu stared deeply: "There are all jade pendants like this. Two pieces, your master made one piece. Who made the other piece?"
Gao Wei muttered: "Of course it is, master."
Yan Bojian. He raised his foot and stepped on the man's chest, shouting: "Aren't you telling the truth? Just now you said that your craftsmanship has reached its peak, but now you don't admit it?"
There was a clicking sound.
It was all the sound of men squeezing their knuckles.
Gao Wei was sweating non-stop, and finally nodded and admitted: "I have made one too, and someone offered me a high price to make it." (End of Chapter)
