Little boy, he is as beautiful as a flower

On the second day, Mu Linwan went to Zuihualou again under the pretext of going to the jade shop.

The bustard saw him and greeted him warmly.

"The young master came to see Yuyun today? It's a coincidence. He is not in good health today, so he rested early. The young master will come back later."

"How is Yuyun?" Mu Linwan was a little anxious.

The old bustard smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I was infected with the wind and cold yesterday. I have already seen the doctor. It will be fine in two days. When Yuyun recovers, I will send someone to inform the young master."

Mu Linwan had no choice but to leave.

I was still a little worried about Yuyun, but the old bustard said he was fine, so there should be no problem, now it's time to go to Jinyi Pavilion to make some clothes for Yuyun.

"Young Master, is he here to buy clothes again?" As soon as he walked in, someone came to greet him.

Mu Linwan said, "It's not for me this time."

The man looked behind Mu Linwan, and said, "That man didn't come with the young master? Do you need us to measure it?"

"No, I remember the size. This time I will make two skirts, one light yellow and one dark green, with a few pear flowers embroidered on the cuffs."

"The young master has a girl he likes? This is a gift for the girl." The young master often comes here to buy clothes, and this is the first time he has customized a skirt. I'm afraid there is a girl he likes, and he can be liked by the young master. Girl, presumably the appearance is also unique.

But Mu Linwan shook his head and said, "Just make it according to the size I said. The body is eight and a half feet long, and the arms are long..."

The man remembered that the more he listened, the more flustered he became. The size the young master said was too big, like a man's figure, not like a girl's. This figure is still a man with excellent figure.

He recalled the rumors he heard yesterday that the young master fell in love with Yuyun from Zuihualou. Could it be that this dress was made for Yuyun?

He has never seen Yuyun, but he has heard from others that Yuyun is about eight and a half feet tall, and he doesn't know the rest.

But this size, the average girl really can't wear it.There is no girl with such a body in the capital, at least no girl like this comes to Jinyi Pavilion to make clothes.

"One piece is light yellow, one piece is dark green, with pear flowers embroidered on the cuffs, the style is simpler..." He reported the size that the young man said just now, and asked, "Is that so?"

Mu Linwan nodded, paid the deposit, and said before leaving: "Make a few more, and make a pair of embroidered shoes by the way, the size is a bit too big..."

The man sent Mu Linwan out with trembling hands, and now he was absolutely sure that it was a man.

The rumors are also true. The young master likes men, and he is still Yu Yun from Zuihualou. He even wants to redeem him with ten thousand taels of gold. The young master was almost broken by the old Mu because of this. It is really bold to dare to buy clothes for Yuyun.

After Mu Linwan prepared clothes for Yuyun, he came to the jade shop.

He walked straight through the front hall and walked into the back hall. There was a large room inside, where craftsmen made ornaments.

When he entered, there was only one craftsman inside. He held a piece of jade in his hand, and pointed it at the candlelight. He held a small piece of charcoal in his hand, and drew the imprint of the jewelry he wanted to make on the jade.

He wanted to make this piece of jade into a jade bracelet. He avoided the visible cracks and drew a few circles.

When he picked up the tools and was about to start making, Mu Linwan spoke.

"Wait a minute, this piece of material has cracks, it's very small, it happens to be inside the jade bracelet you're going to make, if you make the jade bracelet, within a few days, the jade bracelet will shatter."

The craftsman was suddenly disturbed by someone, and he was startled. He was about to yell at him, but when he saw someone coming, he fell silent for a moment, and then asked, "Young master, where is the gap?"

Mu Linwan took the piece of jade in his hand, wiped off the imprints drawn by the craftsman with a piece of cloth, then wiped the piece of jade clean, and placed it under the candlelight again.

The green jade becomes transparent under the candlelight, and the flaws inside can be seen at a glance.

There are dense cracks in the center, which can be seen by the workers. The cracks are like spider webs, and the cracks get smaller as they go to the periphery. It is no wonder that the craftsmen will make this piece of jade into a bracelet.

He took the charcoal that the craftsman had just used, and drew a big circle in the middle: "Can you see these cracks?"

The craftsman nodded: "You can see it."

If someone instructed him like this, he might get angry and scold them directly, but this is the young master, the young master has very sharp eyes, and he often came to the jade shop when he was young, but he helped them a lot.

He was very happy when he heard that the jade shop belonged to the young master yesterday, and he waited in the shop all the time, but he didn't see the young master's person.

The little boy's white and tender hand slowly moved outward along a long and thick crack, until it reached the edge.

"This gap has been spreading the whole piece of jade, you have to cut it from here, and divide it into two."

The craftsman looked at Mu Linwan's fingers, and he couldn't see the crack clearly in the middle.

Under candlelight, many cracks are difficult to hide and can be seen clearly. Usually craftsmen will look for gaps in jade materials by looking at candlelight.He squinted slightly and looked carefully, only to see tiny, imperceptible cracks.

But he really couldn't see the last crack, and the last piece of jade was still a complete piece of jade in his eyes.

Since the young master has said so, it should be right to cut the jade from here, the young master's eyes are trustworthy.

Mu Linwan paused, and asked, "Can't you see what's behind?"

"I'm really ashamed, I can't see it here." He clicked on a place on the jade material.

The hands that have polished jade all the year round are very rough, and Mu Linwan can clearly see the rough calluses on his fingertips.

He nodded thoughtfully.

"Go get another candle."

Mu Linwan continued to look at the piece of jade, waiting for the candlelight from the craftsman.

The craftsman quickly brought another candle, Mu Linwan lit it, and put the candlesticks together, and it instantly became much brighter.

Mu Linwan put the jade in front of the candle again, and said, "Look again, can you see where the cracks are now?"

The craftsman watched with his eyes wide open, and pointed his finger at one place.

He could see more clearly, but still not as clearly as Mu Linwan.

"Let's do it this way. Find a few apprentices with good eyesight to identify jade, and let them take turns, so that your eyes won't be hurt. After you find the crack, you can also make accessories conveniently."

"Young master, our shop is not well managed. Wouldn't it be worse if we found an apprentice?"

After all, the young master is younger, and it is understandable that he does not know how to do business. He is thinking about this shop, but he is still a little immature.

"The business of our shop is good. The reason why the business is not good is that the jade materials are too much wasted. Unlike other shops, other jade shops still use jade with poor materials, and those with cracks inside are still used. We then It’s different, our shop will consume a lot of resources just to sieve jade, and if there are too many cracks, it will not be suitable for use, let alone the finished products produced are of low quality.” Mu Linwan said.

"We can divide the shop into grades, instead of classifying customers. We can still use inferior and defective jade materials, and the price can be set much lower. This is the third grade. The sixth grade is For the jade sold in shops today, try to choose the ones with fewer cracks, the price is the same as now, and don’t make any changes. This is six. As for nine... I will personally select the complete jade materials, find out where the cracks are, and make Produce more exquisite ornaments without cracks."

"This can save a lot of cost. The price of jade is already high. We divide jade into three, six or nine, and the last price is so low that even ordinary people can buy it. How can we not make a profit?"

The craftsman stared blankly at Mu Linwan, and then smiled wryly for a while and said, "I really admire it, so I will do as the young master says, but I will suffer for the young master, and he will be responsible for the jade materials alone."

The young master is worthy of being a member of the shepherd family. Although he is a little immature in doing these things, he has quite a lot of insight.

"It's okay, I'll bring some jade back today, and I'll send someone to deliver it to the mansion later." Mu Linwan said with a slight smile.

He was actually very nervous and his heart was beating fast.

This is the first time he has done this kind of deployment, and he doesn't know if it will be successful.But seeing the craftsman's expression, what I just said should be reasonable, and I hope it will get better and better in the future.

The craftsman quickly smiled and said: "Okay, I have seen these pieces of material, so I will take them back today and have a look, just draw the cracks with charcoal."

Mu Linwan glanced at it, found a cloth bag and put it away.

Mu Linwan went to another jade shop for a walk before returning to the mansion.

Xuan Bao wrote him a letter, it was about that woman.

The woman was already awake, and she told Xuan Bao and the others what had happened.

Her husband, a hunter, went hunting overnight and did not return.

The husband came back in a hurry near the early morning, saying that he had bought a very precious tea and wanted to try it.

The woman complained and boiled a pot of hot water to make tea for the hunter.

"I'm an ordinary person, and I don't know how good this tea is. Madam, come and try it?"

The woman laughed and cursed, and drank the teacup.

All the tea made for the hunter ended up in her stomach.

It was also the whole pot of tea that saved her life. The effect of the poison was softened a lot by the tea, which made her enter a state of suspended animation.

This kind of thing was a scandal, Xuan Ma immediately took people to the woman's house and arrested the crying hunter.

As for the truth of the matter, further investigation is still underway.

Xuanbao said so.

Mu Lin lit a candle later and burned the letter.

This kind of thing is indeed appalling, why kill the wife at home?Where did the hunter's poison come from?

He thought about it for a while, but he really didn't have Xuan Bao's thinking ability, so he gave up and waited for the answer in peace.

But he rejoiced for a while, fortunately the woman did not really die, and he also found that the woman was still alive, otherwise the truth would have been buried and disappeared.
