Yu Du turned around, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What kind of jade does my lord want? Is it a jade pendant or..."

Princess Xianning lowered her head, picked up the "Han Feizi" next to it and opened it, and said casually: "I want to make an engraving. You can find a few more yuan. I haven't practiced for a long time. I'm afraid I can't engrave it well. Oh, remember to take the engraving knife as well." And fetch it for me, go, do it quickly."

Yu Du didn't say any more, and quickly left to look for materials.

royal palace.

When Song Zhi and Feng Ma entered the hall, Changsha King was talking with a young man, and when they heard Song Zhi's voice entering the door, the two stopped talking and looked at Song Zhi in the hall.

Song Zhi lowered his head, bowed profusely, and proclaimed himself king.After getting permission from King Changsha, she raised her head and smiled.When her eyes met the young man's, she suddenly froze and smiled.

The young man in white clothes with a small crown, simple and honest, looks too mediocre to attract others' attention, and has a bit of a street spirit. At first glance, he just thinks he is just a villager, but when he looks closely, he can find a slight difference. A trace of yin prey.

When Song Zhi looked at him, he also looked back at each other. When he saw Song Zhi, he nodded politely and smiled at the corner of his lips, dispelling the haze between his brows.

Changsha King saw Song Zhi and the young man's face changed when they met, he laughed, approached her and said, "Ah Zhi, do you think this person seems somewhat similar to someone else?"

Song Zhi woke up startled, looked away, nodded seriously and said: "Mr. is indeed somewhat similar to my cousin. Oh, sir, could it be the 'Song Shu and Song Changsheng' mentioned by the king?"

The young man got up, walked over and bowed to her, and said solemnly: "Song Shu has seen the young lady."

Song Zhi hurriedly avoided, and returned a salute: "Mr. Song is being polite."

The King of Changsha smiled and said, "Changsheng, your surname is Song, and Azhi is also surnamed Song. It seems that you are very destined."

Song Shu cupped his hands and said sincerely: "The 'Song' of the minister is slightly different from the 'Song' of the young lady."

"I know." Changsha Wang said with a smile, "You." He shook his head, "You go, I will send you into the palace in a few days."

Song Shu bowed his head and saluted, then slowly exited the hall, came to the gate of the hall, raised his eyes to look at Song Zhi, then strode away and disappeared into Chengde Hall.

As soon as he left, the King of Changsha said, "Go, I'll take you to see the private treasury."

Song Zhi agreed on the face, but he kept thinking about Song Shu's appearance in his heart.In fact, Song Shu and Princess Xianning do have a little resemblance, but this is not what makes her feel strange, but that she seems to have seen Song Shu.Or in other words, in the memory of this life, she vaguely felt that she had met Song Shu.But after thinking about it, maybe it's because she faces Princess Xianning day and night, so she has this illusion.

Song Zhi let out a sigh of relief, followed Changsha King absently around, and walked to Zhenbao Pavilion.The Zhenbao Pavilion is said to be a pavilion, but it is actually a garden. The gate is guarded by heavy soldiers, and special people will come to inspect, routinely check, and pass the test every day. To enter the Zhenbao Pavilion, you must have the warrant of the King of Changsha.

After entering the door, Song Zhi was shocked by the bustling scene inside. The spacious courtyard was divided into countless workshops, where painters, lacquers, and utensils... Scholars and craftsmen in black straight trains shuttled around In the meantime, there are men and women, busy with the work in hand, paying attention.

Song Zhi stopped in his tracks and looked at the people working non-stop like a factory in later generations. Everyone was in a hurry and doing things seriously.Song Zhi was amazed and dumbfounded.

"How? These are all people from Tiangongfang. I have two workshops in Changsha, except Tianwufang, which is an official workshop for making military equipment, and Tiangongfang, which is for my personal use. Don't underestimate these people. They Everyone received a salary of hundreds of stones, knowledgeable and skilled. The Shen family's antiques and jades were all maintained and repaired by them, and each of them was good at calligraphy and painting. They made some of the things that were tributed every year. "Changsha Wang spoke eloquently, as if he did not contempt or disdain these workers. Instead, he was like a genius who led his friends to visit the laboratory in his previous life, and regarded the scientific research results and the team as his hard work.

Song Zhi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Your Majesty has Tiangong Workshop, which shows that the people's livelihood in Changsha is stable." The workers in these Tiangong Workshops can manufacture a large number of looms and water pumps, and even research the most powerful bows and crossbows. With this sharp weapon, if Changsha is not strong and prosperous, it will be a shame for the efforts of the three generations of Changsha kings.

The King of Changsha was used to hearing other people's praise, but he was only delighted by Song Zhi's praise.He took Song Zhi to a room, pointed at the door carved with the word "wood" and said: "This is a wooden building, and the inside is made of wood. I occasionally come here to play for a while. It's just that I seldom come here recently." gone."

Song Zhi remembered that Changsha King had a hobby of playing handicrafts, and he was a little curious for a while, wondering how his skills were.The King of Changsha pushed the door open, and she followed in. Several palace lanterns were lit inside, illuminating the dim room.

Rows of shelves greeted the eyes, each of which was placed with different shapes of wood carvings, the big ones were as tall as a person, and the small ones were only as big as a finger. , vary.Song Zhi picked up a wood carving of a boy in surprise. The boy's delicate skin, delicate beard and hair were all lifelike, and his eyes were even more piercing.She looked at the wood carving of a tiger's head on the other side. It had a lovely shape, smooth and lively lines, and lively manners.In the 21st century, if it is auctioned on the black market, it is estimated that it can be sold at a price of national treasure level!

Song Zhi's eyes lit up, looking at the Changsha King with a natural expression, she secretly felt that the name of the Changsha King did not make her worship, but the name of this handicraft master made her salivate.She saw not a room full of works of art, but a room full of national treasures. After 1000 years of storage, each of these wood carvings may be worth tens of millions.Of course, some things cannot be measured by money. If she discovers these treasures after 1000 years, she will definitely hand over to the country immediately to protect the cultural relics!

She lingered by the shelf, looking at this and that, reluctant to hold it with her hands.Changsha Wang was amused by the appearance of her input, and did not disturb her. Instead, he walked to the small case on the side, picked up the little rabbit that had not been engraved last time, and continued to complete the work.

After Song Zhi feasted his eyes, he realized that he had left his master in the cold. He walked up to King Changsha in embarrassment, knelt down beside his left hand, and sighed: "The king's skills are superb, and there is no one who can surpass him in the world. Song Zhi admires him so much." .How did Your Majesty acquire such a good skill?"

Changsha King stopped the engraving, turned back and smiled at her: "This skill is not enough to catch Ah Zhi's eyes, and it is difficult to be elegant. It is good that Ah Zhi likes it. No one in the world can surpass him. Take it seriously, the world is so big, and there are countless people who are more skilled than me. As for how to practice... When I was a prince and grandson, my father often asked me to help him carve words on bamboo slips, but I thought the words were not good-looking, so I worked harder Practice, unconsciously it is not limited to words, but also these dolls.”

"Your Majesty, you are amazing!" Song Zhi gave a thumbs up, full of praise, "I only obeyed two people in my life, one is Princess Xianning, and the other is the King. Take it as an example. The king is small but proficient in handicrafts, and he is big enough to govern a country. Put it in my hometown, and your suitors and admirers will definitely line up from Changsha country to Luoyang city!"

Changsha Wang said humbly, "Ah Zhi is overwhelmed."

"It's not an award, but it's not an award." Song Zhi propped his chin with a look of admiration, "Your Majesty's work is perfect, but it's a pity that it's covered in dust and no one appreciates it."

Changsha Wang said: "Ah Zhi is so respected, I am ashamed of it. But if you like it, I will give you a nice one in two days, how about it?"

Song Zhi was overwhelmed by the flattery, he was overjoyed at first, but he felt bad, so he reluctantly declined, "How can Song Zhi take away what the king loves?"

"You also said that it's a pity that the treasures are dusty. You are the one who understands them and the one who likes them. Isn't it the happiest thing for us masters who make exquisite things to know that we appreciate them? Don't refuse If it wasn't for the things in this room that I'm not satisfied with, I'd like to pick one out and give it to you."

Song Zhi was really embarrassed, she thought about it, she wanted to decline the King of Changsha, maybe he really gave these things to her, it's not beautiful.After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "Then I look forward to your new work!"
