At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.
Chapter 339 The gift prepared by Jinbao
"Master, there is a man named Mu Mu at the door looking for you."
The servant walked into the room, bowed his head respectfully and reported.
Zhao Yuqian put the chess piece in his hand back into the jar, raised his head and said, "Jin Bao, Lao Meng must have carved the thing. Let's go and have a look."
"Really? Then we can play with the new Go chess."
Jin Bao jumped up happily, and the pearl tassels in his hair swayed.
Zhao Yuqian had a bitter look on his face when he heard her words.
In recent days, Jin Bao has become obsessed with playing Go, either pulling Prime Minister Zhao or him.
Forget about playing with him, the key is that he can't win against a three-year-old baby, which makes him lose interest in Go.
Now I am a little scared when I see Go.
"Uncle, let's go quickly!"
Jin Bao didn't notice his expression, took his arm and shook him.
"Okay, let's go now."
Zhao Yuqian picked up Jinbao and went out.
When they arrived at the door of Lao Meng's house, the door was open, and Zhao Yuqian and Jin Bao walked in directly.
"Lao Meng, where is he?"
"Mr. Zhao, my master is waiting inside!" Mu Mu jumped down from the carriage and said.
Zhao Yuqian nodded and followed him into the house.
In the room, Lao Meng was looking at the carved jade carving of a small koi carp and lotus carefully without even raising his eyelids.
"Come on, Yugan, can you give me this piece of jade carving? I'll give you whatever you want in exchange."
When Lao Meng said this, he kept his head lowered and his eyes were on the object in his hand, which showed that he liked it very deeply.
"No, no matter what you say, this is a gift from my niece. I won't exchange it for anything."
When Zhao Yuqian saw that he was interested again, he was so frightened that he ran over and snatched away the carved jade, for fear that he would not come back in the future.
Old Meng looked at the jade in his hand reluctantly, as if he had lost his soul.
No wonder he was so obsessed, he saw the jade crystal clear, a white lotus in full bloom with a small red koi standing on it.
The white lotus flowers are covered in layers, and each petal has a different posture. If you look carefully, you can even feel the petals shaking slightly.
Further up is the elegant fish tail. Tiny waves roll above the fish tail, which feels like it is moving back and forth.
There is also some pinkish white in the belly of the fish, and there are even small transparent water droplets on the scales, making it look as if it is coming to life.
Zhao Yuqian fell in love with it after just one look. He was unwilling to let go of it and didn't even hear Jinbao call him.
Lao Meng's eyes turned red with envy. Seeing his entranced look, he raised his leg and kicked him.
"Why are you kicking me?"
Zhao Yuqian glared at him displeased.
"Your niece is calling you. With your virtue, you still have the nerve to be someone's uncle."
Lao Meng was bubbling with annoyance, his eyes full of contempt.
When he learned that Jinbao called him, Zhao Yuqian quickly bent down and asked, "Jinbao, why did you call uncle? I didn't hear it just now."
"I want to see that."
Jin Bao pointed to the small koi jade in his hand.
"Here, you have a good sense. It would be perfect to carve it into a small koi carp."
Zhao Yuqian handed the jade carving to her, squatted down and continued to stare.
Jinbao held the jade sculpture with both hands, closed his eyes and began to wish for good luck, which was actually making a wish.
After a while, the jade sculpture faintly emitted a faint golden light, and then returned to calm.
"Okay, uncle will always have good luck if he carries it from now on."
Jin Bao returned the jade carving to Zhao Yuqian, his eyes turning into crescent moons as he smiled.
"I will definitely take it with me. By the way, Lao Meng, are the other sculptures ready?"
Zhao Yuqian raised his head and looked around.
"Don't look at it. I know you are anxious to get it. I asked two old friends to carve it together. The finished product is no worse than that one."
As he spoke, he walked into the back room and took out a tray, which was also covered with red cloth.
After Zhao Yuqian saw it, he couldn't wait to open it, but Lao Meng slapped him on the paw.
"Slow down, don't touch me."
He frowned slightly, looking cautious.
"You come, you come."
Zhao Yuqian shook his hands, feeling a little aggrieved.
Lao Meng was not polite and slowly opened the red cloth. Underneath was the carved statue of Guanyin.
When you look closer, you can see that every frown and every smile is noble, and the sculpture is so vivid that people can't help but want to bend down and worship it.
The most attractive thing is the green bamboo leaves. Even if there is no bamboo forest, it can still remind people of the environment where Guanyin Bodhisattva lives.
Zhao Yuqian opened his mouth wide in surprise and couldn't close it for a long time. Such a jade sculpture can only be called shocking.
Next to the Guanyin statue are two jars of black and white chess pieces. Originally, Jinbao wanted to make only chess pieces, but he didn't expect that even the jars containing the chess pieces were carved from jade.
The black jar is engraved with a giant coiling snake, and the white one is engraved with a soaring eagle, which is lifelike and lifelike.
The chess pieces are even more crystal clear, with a slight sheen on them.
"Thank you Grandpa Meng, I also want to give you a gift."
Jinbao liked it very much after seeing it. She knew that it must have taken a lot of effort to carve these things, and she sincerely thanked him.
So he took out a large ginseng from his pocket and handed it over.
Lao Meng had never seen ginseng in such good condition before, and he was stunned.
It took a long time to react, and he waved his hand and said: "No, no, I have already accepted a piece of jade from you, I can't ask for this anymore."
Originally, the value of the jade far exceeded the efforts he put in. This ginseng must be more valuable than the jade. He deserved it, so he had no nerve to accept it.
Jinbao raised her head, her eyes were wet, she didn't speak, she just looked at him pitifully.
How could Lao Meng bear this? His heart immediately turned into a puddle of water.
"I...I'll accept it. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come to me."
He took the ginseng solemnly, his whole body trembling slightly with excitement.
Everyone knows that old ginseng is life-saving, and the one in his hand is definitely no less than 500 years old.
It's strange to be able to stay calm after getting such a life-saving treasure.
Jin Bao was anxious to take the things back to his grandfather and the others, so he didn't stay longer.
After loading the things into the carriage, the two of them headed home.
Zhao Yuqian was worried that the servant would be clumsy and might knock the jade carving, so he carried the tray into the central hall himself.
"Go quickly and invite my father and mother over."
As soon as he put the things on the table, he ordered his servants to go to the backyard to call someone.
"The master went out to do some business and hasn't come back yet. I'm going to call the old lady now."
The servant responded and hurried away.
"Uncle, do you think grandma will like the gift I prepared?"
Jinbao climbed onto the chair and asked, shaking his calves.
"How could she not like it? Not to mention such a beautiful Guanyin statue. Even if you pick up a stone and give it to her, she will treat it as a treasure."
Zhao Yuqian took a sip of tea and spoke comfortingly.
