Skilled in managing a house

Zhang Yu looked at the small building with lights on, then at the small building where Gao Xiaomeng lived, and decided to go to the small building where Gao Xiaomeng lived first.

He quickly came downstairs and climbed easily to the terrace on the fourth floor. This time, Zhang Yu could see that the curtains were not drawn on the floor-to-ceiling windows. From the starlight outside, he could probably tell that there was no one inside. Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment, then took two steps forward, grasped the door handle of the window, and turned it open with just a twist.

However, Zhang Yu did not go in immediately. He still carefully checked the situation inside and felt it with his heart. He was able to confirm that there was no breath of formation in it, and there seemed to be no one there.

The reason for being cautious is that God knows whether Gao Xiaomeng will tell Lei Ge or not. Although he had a high probability that Gao Xiaomeng would not do this, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual, Zhang Yu stepped into the room and closed the door. This is Gao Xiaomeng's bedroom. After Zhang Yu came in last time, he never visited any other place. He just sat by the bed and waited for Gao Xiaomeng to wake up.

This time he visited again, and Gao Xiaomeng didn't seem to be at home, so Zhang Yu couldn't just wait, he might as well get familiar with the environment here. It's already quite impolite to come here uninvited, but it seems even more impolite to visit a woman's home without permission. But Zhang Yu didn't think much about it. He had already seen the bedroom yesterday. Apart from the bed, wardrobe, dressing table, and a bathroom, there was nothing else.

Zhang Yu took another cursory look and found that it was obviously not good to go to someone else's bathroom without permission. Zhang Yu did not go in. He walked directly to the door and leaned against the door. Zhang Yu listened for a moment, then opened the door and walked out.

Gao Xiaomeng's residence looks quite big. Outside is a large living room with European-style furniture, including sofas, TVs, coffee tables, etc. However, there is no kitchen at home. At most, there is a small dining room with a refrigerator and a dining table.

From this point of view, Gao Xiaomeng does not have to cook by herself. If she is hungry at night, there will probably be some food in the refrigerator.

Next to the restaurant, there was a wooden door. Zhang Yu walked to the door, turned the door handle, and the door opened. When you open it and take a look, it looks like it should be a study room with desks, bookcases and the like.

Zhang Yu briefly looked around and thought there was nothing unusual in the room, so he stepped in. Entering the study, there was no need to close the door. As he walked inside, he looked around. Zhang Yu soon discovered that there were many bookcases here, but there was not a single book in them. The bookcases were filled with sculptures of various shapes.

"Huh?" Zhang Yu couldn't help but become interested when he saw the things placed in the bookcase. He walked to the bookcase on the left, stretched out his hand and opened the door.

The things placed here range from big to small. The smaller ones are no more than the size of a human thumb, and the larger ones are almost half a meter high.

Zhang Yu took a general look and found that the carvings inside were almost all made of wood, with all shapes including human figures, birds, and beasts. However, the carving skills are very average, and some of the works are not even as good as Zhang Yu's.

After looking at this cabinet, Zhang Yu came to the second bookcase, which was also filled with sculptures. Zhang Yu opened the cabinet door and took a closer look. The carvings inside were also made of wood, and they were still large and small. But the things in this cabinet are obviously different from the things in the previous cabinet. The difference is mainly in appearance. Zhang Yu could tell at a glance that the quality of the works here was definitely better than those in the previous cabinet. It doesn't look like it was drawn by one person.

However, Zhang Yu was certain that these things were made by one person. There is no other reason, the main reason is that the techniques and habits are entirely one person's. The reason why the quality of the works here is better than the previous ones is very simple. Can we not allow others to improve?

Zhang Yu's family is a carpenter, and he also knows how to carve. His previous works were really not as good as Zhang Yu's, but his later works can already surpass Zhang Yu's.

There were two cabinets on the left. Zhang Yu looked at the cabinet on the right. He came to the cabinet and opened the door. There were also sculptures inside. This time, the carvings inside are no longer made of wood, but of jade, jade or something.

Although Zhang Yu dare not say that he is an expert in this field, he has experienced the baptism of gambling on stones, and he still has a certain understanding of the grade of jade. It was not difficult for him to see that the quality of these jadeite was not very good, almost the lowest quality jadeite. However, the shape produced by the carving is really good.

After looking at this cabinet, Zhang Yu came to the second cabinet on the right, which was also the last cabinet. Opening the cabinet door, there are also sculptures inside. To be precise, the things in this cabinet can be called handicrafts.

In this cabinet, there are carvings made of various materials, including wood, jade, jade, agate, tourmaline...

"At this time, she should have become an apprentice..." After seeing this, Zhang Yu was already sure that this should be the journey of Gao Xiaomeng's growth.

In the process of growth, people need countless experiences, that is, thousands of tempers. It is not difficult to see that Gao Xiaomeng can become a standard sculptor, and he has also gone through a bitter journey.

"It seems that it is not easy to get to this point..." Zhang Yu muttered to himself and reached out to grab an jade bracelet from the cabinet.

The material of this jade bracelet cannot be said to be particularly good, but it is not bad either. It belongs to the hibiscus jadeite species and is relatively transparent with green veins. In addition to being smooth, the bracelet also has a phoenix outlined on it. The texture of this phoenix is ​​not deep, and it looks like it was born on the bracelet. There are no particularly deep carving marks.

This is the essence of jade carving. If it is too deep and can be seen at a glance, it is obviously made by a machine and has almost no value. The carving on this bracelet can be said to be the finishing touch. This carving alone can greatly increase the price of this hibiscus jadeite, which is not very valuable.

"Gao Xiaomeng's craftsmanship is so exquisite, not to mention her master Lei Ge..." Zhang Yu muttered again, but soon, curiosity emerged in his heart, "Sword skills... ...Eight Swordsmen from Heaven...The techniques each of them learned are generally different. Each of them only knows one carving technique...If this is the case, what kind of sword techniques did Gao Xiaomeng learn? Woolen cloth……"

He took the bracelet and looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't figure out the reason.
