The man came forward with a look of praise and affirmation, "do you think this is good for me? Even if the stone is almost the same, my idea is not as good as the sculptor. I tell you, if I were to be a tribute inkstone, I would be able to do it well! "

Qin Yan pursed his lips and shook his head.

That person a listen to on fire, a grab back, put into the arms, "come on! I've been looking at it for a long time. I thought you were an expert, but you didn't understand it

Qin Yan smiles from the bottom of his heart. When he looks at his young age, he is arrogant. He cherishes his talent, but he doesn't care about it. He patiently says, "you are the stone of the Song Dynasty. The material is poor. Moreover, although your idea is wonderful, the sculptor is poor. Here..."

Qin inkstone lit a place, "you have carved it here. You originally wanted to carve the window lattice here, but it was changed by bamboo leaves. It should be because your hands are unstable and can't carve it out. You can only change it!"

That person leng for a while, didn't expect his idea didn't Qin Yan see through, this person is to have two brushes, but he refused to admit, "OK, you? Don't pretend to understand. You can only play tricks. If you have the ability, show me what you have! "

"I didn't."

The man hissed, "no? You're not good at it, are you? Then you talk a lot and make yourself understand the same thing very well. Just talk without practicing fake tricks! "

"I don't understand. Who do you think understands?"

"Of course, they are the descendants of Duan inkstone of the Qin family."

Glancing at Qin Yan, he didn't agree. The man waved his hand impatiently, "I tell you you don't know. I guess you don't even know who the descendants of Duan Yan are."

"Who said that my husband not only knew, but also knew him very well!"

Hua Ni suddenly makes a sound. They look up together and see that Hua Ni holds Qin Yan in her arms and says it with all her heart.

The man looked at Qin Yan incredulously, "you, do you really know Qin Yan? Can you introduce me to him

Hua Ni teases him deliberately, "what do you know him for?"

The man was embarrassed and said, "I, I want to learn from him!"

Hua Ni and Qin Yan look at each other and smile.

"What are you laughing at? Is that ridiculous? "

Can two people is but smile not language, that person is exasperated to become angry, "I know, you are deceiving me! You liars

Qin Yan asked with a smile, "what's your name?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

Hua Ni sees him so not bad, intentionally way, "you don't say to have no relation, you said to have relation!"

"Cut!" That person disdains of a curl mouth, ignore Qin Yan, turn a head to walk.

Hua Ni shook her head and sighed, but said, "this is what people often say. When you go to the temple, you worship the false Bodhisattva, but you can't recognize the real Buddha."

Qin Yan didn't smile, just looking at the person's back.

"Husband, do you want to accept him as an apprentice? I'll call him for you. "

He said that he was about to leave, but he was held by Qin Yan, "well, this man is a qualified one, but he is too proud. If he doesn't have full humility to do this, even if he has good qualifications, he can't make great achievements."

……

Fang family.

Fang Liancheng was drinking tea when he heard the shopkeeper's report and said, "what? How can he really find so many people? "

"Yes."

Fang Liancheng sneered and nodded, "I underestimated him. It's a good way to let the big and small ink workshops and ink workshops participate in it. They get the name and benefit. Naturally, these people try their best. If something happens to Gong inkstone, there's nothing wrong with Qin inkstone!"

The shopkeeper asked anxiously, "young master, should we..."

"No hurry!" Fang Liancheng put down his tea cup and said leisurely, "it's a critical moment now, even if it's the small ink shop. How many pairs of eyes in the capital are looking at this. We are all in the Fang family. If we stand in line too early, we're afraid it's hard to do it in the future!"

……

And back to the Duanzhou yamen, there were 18 skilled craftsmen selected, all waiting to be obedient in the back hall.

Qin Yan gave the inkstones to them, told them to choose by themselves, and then asked Mr. Bao to decide who would do it. Because of the time constraint, those people came out with the plan. Bao Zheng and Qin Yan looked at it, and then started to order it to be done, and it was finished in three days.

On the third day, the project will be completed as scheduled.

Ten pieces of tribute inkstones are made of less materials. Fortunately, Duanzhou is a hometown of tribute inkstones, and there are many skilled craftsmen. With their ingenious ideas, they are really good at making flowers and turning decay into magic.

Qin Yan looked at the ten carved Gongyan carefully, and did not say a word.

Bao Zheng then asked, "how? Does Mr. Qin think it's wrong? "

"My Lord, these inkstones are very good. They can be used as tribute inkstones, but if they are used as gifts from envoys of the state of Jin, I'm afraid they're a little worse..."

"What does Mr. Qin mean?"

"I'm worried that if some people deliberately use the secondary material as an excuse to pick on others, they will let the emperor find the adult's trouble at that time, for fear that the adult will not be easy to explain?"

Bao Zheng was calm and said, "Bao Zheng has done his best. If it is the will of heaven, then Bao Zheng can only accept it!"Zhang Long couldn't help but say, "my Lord, there must be some good stones in Fang's ink shop. Why don't you go there again? We are officials. If we ask him, he still has reason not to give us? "

Bao Zheng waved his hand. "This is someone else's thing. If he refuses to give it, how can he take it? Not even an official. "

Qin Yan then said with a smile, "you don't have to worry. Qin Yan has already found someone to release the news. You just need to issue another notice. Instead of going to the door, he has to take the initiative to send it."

"What can I do?"

……

Fang family.

The shopkeeper came in in a hurry, "young master, it's not good. Now there are some rumors outside that it's the Fang family's incompetence that you shut your door and refuse to accept Gongyan!"

Rao is Fang Liancheng calm, but men are always competitive. After hearing this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, "what?"

"It's said that the Qin family has fallen down, but the Fang family doesn't dare to go up. Because the Fang family is afraid of losing face, they excuse themselves from Gongyan and say..." The shopkeeper took a careful look at Fang Liancheng.

"Say it Fang Liancheng is impatient with Tao.

"It's also said that the small ink shop dares to go up. The Fang family is usually big, but now they advise you. They say that you are inferior to others and are afraid of losing to Qin Yan!"

Bang!

Fang Liancheng hit the table with a heavy fist, which was a rare anger on his face. But the next moment, he regained his calm, and his smile was chilly. "This must have been passed down by Qin Yan, who deliberately forced me to do it. Qin Yan also underestimated our side Liancheng."

Finish saying don't care about of waved a hand, "don't need to tube! Go

He lowered his head, but Yu Guang saw that the shopkeeper didn't go, so he said, "what's the matter?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and hesitated, "I'm afraid we can't ignore this matter, young master! The government has put up a notice saying that the ink workshop, which did not take inkstones this time, or did not participate in the selection of tribute inkstones, will supply inkstones in the future according to their own discretion. "

The subtext of this is that if you don't help me when I'm looking for you, you'll have to trouble me later, so I'll ha ha.

Without inkstone, what else does the ink workshop play?

Fang Liancheng was smart and understood it as soon as he heard it, but he only said, "what's the point? There are so many ink workshops in Duanzhou. I don't believe that Bao Zheng will not give us inkstones at that time

"But..." The shopkeeper's desire for words stops.

"Say what you have to say!" Fang Liancheng glared at him, and the unhappiness in his tone was obvious. He was obviously angry.

"Young master, I heard that we are really the only one left..."

"What!"
