Fucheng asked: "What do you want to do next?" It is impossible for Zhou Xuanyi to do nothing about the news that Xiao Huanghua risked his life to send.

"Let's go to the academy when your legs are back." Zhou Xuanyi thought for a while.

Fucheng wondered, did Zhou Xuanyi fall into the eyes of money? After all this, he still wanted to go to Wande Academy. If Mr. Yu knew that Zhou Xuanyi was so devoted to his job, would he cry out of excitement and hug him to death? Zhou Xuanyi's thigh will never let Zhou Xuanyi go in this life.

Zhou Xuanyi said: "How long does it take to come from Kyoto?"

"It will take ten days at the earliest." Fucheng replied. At that time, Jin Yiwei Lu Chuanbai spent nearly half a month in Bailu City. Sometimes it was easier to travel alone, and it was even more difficult to bring a large group of people. It is estimated that it will take a little longer.

Zhou Xuanyi glanced at Fucheng coolly, and said, "Then what are you in a hurry for?"

Fucheng choked for a moment, thinking that the emperor was really not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry, so he simply threw his hands away regardless of what Zhou Xuanyi thought.

Of course Zhou Xuanyi wouldn't be so indifferent, he couldn't feel the anxiety in his heart, Fucheng couldn't feel it, Zhou Xuanyi's memory lacked a key link, such a Zhou Xuanyi didn't have any capital to negotiate conditions with Dongchang or Jinyiwei, these two The faction can turn around at will.

The news sent by the little yellow flower was just a reminder to Zhou Xuanyi, without any more news, Zhou Xuanyi even suspected that the news that the little yellow flower sent that day was in the hands of the little prince.

What the little prince was thinking, others might not be able to guess, but Zhou Xuanyi guessed most of them, they were so alike, to the point that Zhou Xuanyi himself felt a little disgusted.

The little prince asked He Yan to tell Zhou Xuanyi that it was a kind of provocation. You have lost your memory and just watch the show obediently. Don’t try to make any small moves.

Zhou Xuanyi went to Wande Academy the next day. He can handle a lot of things at the same time, and he only needs to use his brain to figure out a solution, which can be done at the same time as teaching.

When Mr. Yu saw him, it was like seeing a fairy descending from the earth. He nodded and bowed all the way, almost making people think that he was a shop assistant, which was different from his usual respectable appearance.Mr. Yu was really afraid of Zhou Xuanyi, on the one hand he was afraid that he would bring trouble to the academy, on the other hand he was afraid of Zhou Xuanyi himself.

The children's reactions were much more consistent. The students of Wande Academy are all children of martial arts.Even Li Feng, who always made troubles, was convinced and completely bowed down under Zhou Xuanyi's pants.This time the class was quiet, the vegetable market was gone, and instead there were many apprentices, Zhou Xuanyi was very annoyed by this battle, but at the same time he was a little proud.

During the lunch break, the other children were having fun, only Zhao Xiaohu kept his head down, he didn't know what he was doing under the table, and he didn't even notice when Zhou Xuanyi walked over.

"what are you doing?"

Zhao Xiaohu looked up and saw Zhou Xuanyi's cold face, even though he knew that Zhou Xuanyi had always looked like this, he still felt guilty when he suddenly saw it, he quickly put his hands behind his back and said, "It's nothing."

"Do you want me to take it myself?"

Zhao Xiaohu suddenly thought of the legend represented by Zhou Xuanyi, a lame gentleman who kills without blinking an eye, Zhao Xiaohu swallowed, and handed the things to Zhou Xuanyi.

—a bracelet of bells.

Although it was just a shape, it was not yet finished, and Zhao Xiaohu was carving fine patterns on each bell little by little, Zhou Xuanyi guessed what was going on just by looking at it, and asked, "Why don't you buy one? "

Zhao Xiaohu said: "The ones I bought are not as good as those I made myself. I can still think of me when I see this."

Zhou Xuanyi raised his eyebrows and said, "You still do this?"

"Well," Zhao Xiaohu said a little embarrassed, "my second father is a craftsman, he learned a little from him."

Zhou Xuanyi asked again: "Why?"

Zhou Xuanyi spoke concisely, and Zhao Xiaohu pondered for a while before realizing what kind of festival it was, and said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, give me something small."

Zhou Xuanyi pondered for a while, and said, "Why are you giving the bracelet for Mid-Autumn Festival reunion?"

Zhou Xuanyi grew up in the palace when he was a child. He never had the concept of giving gifts to close people. Everything he received was a gift from the emperor. Even if it was a gift from others, he had to strictly follow the rules of the House of Internal Affairs. It's strange to make something with your own hands.

Zhao Xiaohu felt that Zhou Xuanyi was very boring, so he gave it away as soon as he wanted, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was just a pretext, so why ask such details?But Zhao Xiaohu didn't say it, he hesitated and prepared to find an excuse, but Zhou Xuanyi suddenly said: "Your second father can help people make things?"

"Yes, but his workmanship is fine, and his work is slow. These two years have been custom-made by regular customers, and there are people who have been waiting in line for half a year..." Zhao Xiaohu was halfway through speaking, and suddenly realized that Zhou Xuanyi probably wanted to buy something. He was silly when he met Jin Ling, but he was smart at other times, and said again: "But if you want to buy it, you must be quick."

Zhao Xiaohu didn't know if it was because of the special family atmosphere since childhood, he subconsciously felt that Jin Ling should be like him, and to Jin Ling, Fucheng and Zhou Xuanyi were like Zhao Xiaohu's first and second fathers.So he guessed right away that Mr. Zhou was going to send something small to Brother Fucheng.

Zhao Xiaohu suddenly became enlightened. He included Zhou Xuanyi in his father-in-law's circle. Of course, he must spare no effort to please him. After school, he took Zhou Xuanyi back to his second father's shop without even bringing the golden bell. Jin Ling was a bit puzzled, how could Zhao Xiaohu talk to Zhou Xuanyi?

The shop is just opposite the Dongmen Theater, named Baisuifang. There are some gold and silver jewelry on the low cabinet in the front, and two root carvings and an agate-carving Pixiu statue on the high shelf at the back.The small shop has a small facade, and it is estimated that all the good things are hidden, only a few things to support the facade are scattered here and there.There were no customers in the store, only a few female relatives were looking at the jewelry, and a gentle-looking female buddy was entertaining.

Zhao Xiaohu greeted the female clerk, and took Zhou Xuanyi to the back hall of the shop familiarly.Zhao He didn't hear anyone coming at all, he was wearing coarse linen and holding a piece of wood root in his hand, not for carving, but looking at it, the carving knife in his hand was gesturing back and forth on the wood root.

Zhao Xiaohu's second father, Zhao He, is a well-behaved craftsman who is well-known in Bailu City. He is best at root carving, but only rich people can afford this kind of thing, so Zhao He also does something. Other trinkets, jade, wooden plaques and gold ornaments.Before meeting Bian Qinghe, Zhao He only had jade, stone and wood in his eyes, and could not accommodate anything else.After meeting Bian Qinghe, there was just one more man in his life, and it made no difference to him.

Zhao He didn't like to talk to people, he could spend his whole life holding a log, so Zhao He could play with Zhou Xuanyi, even Zhao Xiaohu and Bian Qinghe were a little surprised.

For Zhao He, this matter was very simple, because Zhou Xuanyi didn't like to talk, and he had disliked Bian Qinghe's babbling early in the morning.Being not talkative doesn’t mean facial paralysis, it’s just a waste of time, so Bian Qinghe usually babbles by, and Zhao He does the crafting by himself, so you don’t need to listen to what he said. Bian Qinghe can sing a one-man show for a lifetime by himself.But when Bian Qinghe asked him later, he found that Zhao He remembered Bian Qinghe's annoying words clearly, and he didn't seem to care, but he didn't miss a single word.

Zhao He was much more pleasing to the eye when he saw Zhou Xuanyi. This person spoke concisely, and he would not make an expression if he could, and he hit it off right away.

"What do you want to do?" Zhao He asked while arranging his own tools.

"Zodiac card." Zhou Xuanyi said.

Not long after Zhou Xuanyi came to the Po Temple, he heard Fucheng say it once. At that time, Zhou Xuanyi was inquiring about Fucheng's life experience both openly and secretly, and asked what you belonged to, but Fucheng said casually, do you want to give me gift?Zhou Xuanyi has a good memory, and has always remembered this incident. He felt that Fucheng seemed to want a zodiac card at that time.

Zhao He didn't respond, and said, "How much money do you have?"

Zhou Xuanyi said: "Seven taels."

Seven taels of silver was still obtained from old Mr. Yu, and Zhou Xuanyi's entire family's possessions were only this little.

Zhao He asked, "What kind of material do you want?"

Zhou Xuanyi said: "Sandalwood."

Zhao He asked, "Why?"

Zhou Xuanyi said: "You can't buy any good jade in Qiliang, but you can buy a good piece of wood."

Seven taels of silver is three to four months of expenses for an ordinary family, which is a lot of money, but it is not enough to buy jade. Zhou Xuanyi has always wanted the best in everything. He can't buy good jade but he can Get a good piece of wood.

"I was wrong." Zhao He said.

Zhou Xuanyi said: "Huh?"

Zhao Hedao: "Zodiac cards are things that imply auspiciousness and peace. The wood is too light to hold down when making zodiac cards. Even if jade is used again, it is better than wood." Zhao He paused, and said: "If you are worried about money , I have a piece of jade here that has been pressed, the head of the water is good, but there are flaws. I will look for it for you. "

As Zhao He said, he put down the carving knife in his hand, rummaged through one side of the counter, and finally found a piece of jade, and showed it to Zhou Xuanyi.Zhou Xuanyi didn't play around all day like the little prince, and he didn't have much research on jade wares, but when he saw many good things, he could tell the good from the bad.

This piece of jade is not very high-quality, but it looks transparent in the sun, and it is estimated to be much better than the water head of three or four taels of jade, but there is a little flaw in it, and there is a big black mark, like a piece of ink. The ink dot is not pure enough, and a small brown dot is especially obvious on the whole jade.

Zhou Xuanyi said: "Is this possible?" There is a reason why a piece of jade has never been sold. Some flaws can turn waste into treasure, but this piece of jade is obviously not.

Zhao He asked, "What do you want to do?"

Zhou Xuanyi said: "Rabbit."

Zhao He frowned, he was very familiar with this piece of jade, the entire outline was reflected in his mind, he thought for a while and said: "I'll see if I can carve eyes for him."

Zhou Xuanyi thought that Fucheng didn't know what he belonged to, and said again: "How about carving a tiger on the other side?"

Zhao He's frown deepened, thinking that Zhou Xuanyi didn't have much money and demanded a lot, so it would be great if he could think of the side that dealt with rabbits, but now he still wants tigers?But Zhao He still likes to take a challenge and do things that others can't do.

Zhao He took the jade and looked around for a while, and finally said: "I will try, but it will cost more."

Zhou Xuanyi thought that Zhao He was very interesting, and he had a clear account of everything in his heart, and he didn't give Mr. Zhao Xiaohu any face, so his favorable impression towards Zhao He increased, and he said, "Okay, How much do you want?"

Zhao He finally asked Zhou Xuanyi for 16 taels of silver, and the seven taels of silver he brought would count as a deposit now. It stands to reason that if Zhou Xuanyi could come up with 16 taels of silver, why would he buy another flawed jade, but he stared at the brown dot, Originally looking at the blemish on it was an eyesore, but now that Zhao He said something about eyes, Zhou Xuanyi thought of Fucheng's pair of brown eyes, and felt that this piece of flawed jade was born for Fucheng. I like it more.

Zhou Xuanyi said: "The rest of the money will be delivered in two days, how long will it take?"

Zhao Xiaohe said: "More than a month, I have other work in hand."

Zhou Xuanyi has no power or money now, and he doesn't ask for an urgent request. No matter what, he has to stay in Bailu City for a full month.Zhou Xuanyi couldn't help but think, this zodiac card has a tiger on one side and a rabbit on the other, what kind of expression should Fucheng have when he sees it?

"Who is it for?" Logically speaking, Zhao He would not gossip like this, but a faint smile appeared on Zhou Xuanyi's cold face, which really made Zhao He a little curious.

"A man." Zhou Xuanyi seemed to be telling himself, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said, "He's a nice guy."
