Skilled in managing a house

Zhang Yu retracted his hand after confirming that Gao Xiaomeng was not dead but just asleep. He glanced at the table in front of Gao Xiaomeng and saw a colorful agate stone placed on the table. This agate stone is large, with many colors on it. Most of it has been carved, and there are many stone chips next to it. Zhang Yu could probably tell that the shape outlined by the agate stone seemed to be a hand. Why someone would ask for such a shape to be carved is a bit puzzling.

But it is obvious that this work is not finished yet, and there should be only a small half left to complete. Gao Xiaomeng is asleep now. She is probably too tired to hold on any longer.

Zhang Yu knew that these disciples of Lei Ge's sect could never rest while carving, and they had to concentrate on it, otherwise, all their previous efforts would be wasted. Because what they carved was not just a handicraft, but the carrier of a magic weapon.

Now that Gao Xiaomeng was asleep and the object was not completed, Zhang Yu knew clearly that what awaited Gao Xiaomeng would definitely be Lei Ge's punishment.

But Zhang Yu did not wake up Gao Xiaomeng. He scanned around to check the situation in the room first. This room is like an office, with an area of ​​more than 20 square meters. In addition to the chair and desk where Gao Xiaomeng is sitting, there is a three-person sofa on the left and an antique shelf on the right. On the antique shelf, there was a piece of chicken blood stone and a piece of Hetian jade. Zhang Yu could recognize it at a glance. He had brought the piece of Hetian jade. There is also a pen holder on the antique shelf. What is placed in the pen holder is not a writing brush, but a carving knife.

In addition, there is a bathroom in the room, so Zhang Yu naturally has no interest in going to other people's bathrooms to observe. Gao Xiaomeng was still sleeping anyway, so Zhang Yu simply walked to the antique shelf, took down the pen holder, sat down on the sofa, took out the carving knife and started playing with it.

The knives are all edged, but they don't look very sharp. Some carving knives have long blades, some have short blades, some look thinner, and some look thicker. Each carving knife is different.

Although Zhang Yu is not in this business, he can also understand that these are different carving knives used for different materials. What's more, Zhang Yu could detect that these carving knives were not ordinary carving knives. They were all magic weapons with a trace of spiritual energy on them. However, the spiritual energy is not strong, and compared with Zhang Yu's magic weapon, it is incomparable.

Zhang Yu played with it for a while, put the carving knives back into the pen holder, and then stretched out. At this moment, he suddenly heard a "uh" sound.

Hearing the sound, Zhang Yu immediately turned to look at Gao Xiaomeng and saw Gao Xiaomeng, who was leaning on the chair, slowly opening his eyes.

Gao Xiaomeng obviously didn't notice Zhang Yu's presence. When he opened his eyes at this moment, his expression changed drastically and he said nervously: "I, I... why did I fall asleep... this, this... what should I do..."

She looked very flustered, and quickly picked up the agate stone on the table, and stammered again: "Oops... It's too bad this time... I haven't finished carving yet... Why did I fall asleep... ...I am really useless...I am really useless..."

"Is your master going to punish you again?" Zhang Yu said gently.

When Gao Xiaomeng heard Zhang Yu's voice, his heart tightened, and then he discovered Zhang Yu's existence.

When she saw Zhang Yu, she couldn't help but said in surprise: "Why are you here..."

Although she looked nervous, she didn't scream. She seemed to be worried about someone finding out.

Zhang Yu smiled slightly and said: "I couldn't sleep at night, so I just took a walk... I happened to see you sleeping here outside, so I came up and sat for a while..."

"You...you can really find a place to sit..." Gao Xiaomeng puffed up her cheeks.

Gao Xiaomeng looks to be around twenty-seven or eighty years old. Her appearance is not beautiful, but she is not ugly either. Her eyes were large, and she didn't know whether it was because of fatigue or because she had just woken up, but they lacked energy. She was wearing a white vest with bandages underneath, so she must have been injured. Zhang Yu also knew that Gao Xiaomeng had been whipped thirty times and his injuries were not yet healed.

"You fell asleep during work this time. I think the agate stone you carved has been wasted." Zhang Yu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the muscles on Gao Xiaomeng's face couldn't help but twitch, as if she thought of something that frightened her. But she still said stubbornly: "What does this have to do with you?"

"It's really not my fault. I came to this place just to find the thief. But I didn't find the thief, but I found something interesting." Zhang Yu said with another smile.

"Fun things...what fun things..." Gao Xiaomeng said in confusion.

"Is this...I think I should ask you first..." Zhang Yu said deliberately.

"Ask me first...ask me what..." Gao Xiaomeng said again puzzled.

"These are the objects carved by your Bishui Manor. The craftsmanship fee alone is staggering... But so many people are flocking to such expensive craftsmanship fees. Do you know the reason..." Zhang Yu asked calmly. .

"This is naturally because the objects carved by our Bishui Manor are outstanding. My master is the number one master carver in the world... The value of the objects carved by my master will be doubled..." When Gao Xiaomeng said this , can’t help but feel a little proud.

"Isn't it true that the value has doubled..." Zhang Yu showed disapproval, pointed to the antique shelf, and said: "I brought the mutton fat Hetian jade on top, and there is also a piece of Hetian jade, and two jade pendants need to be processed... ...The crafting fee alone is equivalent to 100 kilograms of gold. Even if these things are sold at auction, I don’t think I can get the price of the crafting fee, let alone the original value of my two pieces of Hetian jade. ...If you just price the object based on its nature, you will definitely have to pay compensation..."

"No way..." Gao Xiaomeng didn't seem to understand the market that well. After hearing what Zhang Yu said, she immediately hesitated, and after a while she said: "Then tell me... why is it so valuable..."

"The so-called value actually lies in the sleepless mental power of you people... I couldn't understand why so many people came to your master to carve. All the sects planned to use these things. It is not cost-effective to carry out blessing of magical instruments... It costs so much..." Zhang Yu said this and took out an jade bracelet from his arms. This bracelet was exactly what he took out from Gao Xiaomeng's study. . He shook the bracelet in his hand, and then added: "It wasn't until I saw this bracelet that I understood what was going on..."

"This bracelet... why does it look familiar..." Gao Xiaomeng said, staring at the bracelet.

"I saw it from your home and asked me to bring it to you." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"You, you actually came to my room to steal something!" Gao Xiaomeng jumped up from his chair when he heard this.
