Chapter 175 Mystery 2
Isn't that the birthday gift she gave to Mr. Shu - the Emerald Maitreya Buddha she carved with her own hands?
"Lao Jin, look, this is the gift given to me by the little girl. I didn't show it to you." Mr. Shu held the Emerald Maitreya Buddha in his hands, observed carefully and said to his old friend,
"When Xiaozhi gave it to me that day, I only paid attention to the emerald peace on it. Now I remember that this sculptor was also made by Xiaozhi."
Mr. Jin's eyes widened, grabbed the emerald Maitreya Buddha, and looked at the emerald butterfly in Master Ding's hand. A wrinkled face suddenly became excited. Then he immediately grabbed Dai Zhi's shoulder, his lips trembled, and his beard trembled and asked in a trembling voice.
"Woman... girl, what's the relationship between you and my shepherd..."
Mr. Jin may be too excited. His hands were so strong that he frowned in pain. As she tried to get rid of Grandpa Jin's hands, she replied confusedly,
"Grandpa Jin... Who is Mu'er... I don't know him at all..."
Seeing this, Mr. Shu quickly pulled Lao Jin away and persuaded him, "Lao Jin, don't be too excited. You will scare Xiaozhi like this. What's the matter? Ask slowly. Don't panic!"
Mr. Jin realized that he was too excited, and his strength in his hand gradually decreased. Then he let go of Dai Zhi and said incoherently,
"Xiaozhi, don't care. Grandpa Jin was a little excited just now. Come on, sit down and talk to me slowly."
It was the first time that Dai Zhi had seen Grandpa Jin so uncontrollably. Although he didn't know how important it was to find an answer in himself, his old man's appearance still scared her a little.
But she is also curious about what's going on and who she is? Who is Grandpa Jin? Who is the shepherd? Moreover, what does all this have to do with her? How can it make Grandpa Jin, who has always been calm and self-contained, so emotional...
With a stomach of doubts, Dai Zhi sat down and poured a cup of tea for him with Mr. Jin's precious tea set. "Grandpa Jin, please have a cup of tea first and ask slowly. I will definitely tell you everything I know."
Mr. Jin's mood calmed down a lot. He still stared at Dai Zhi and tried to find out something from her. He took the cup handed over by Dai Zhi's hands and took a sip absent-mindedly. At this moment, such a precious and proud tea art was drunk in his mouth, and it seemed that there was no taste at all.
For more than 20 years, this matter has been trapped in his heart for more than 20 years. How can he stop his heart...
Seeing this, although Master Ding had the same speculation as Mr. Jin, he was not sure. After all, he had told Dai Zhi about Mr. Jin that she had no reaction and did not know the person Mr. Jin was looking for at all.
However, he still explained to Dai Zhi,
"Dai, do you remember that I once told you that the legend that caused a sensation in the jade carving world about 20 years ago?"
Dai Zhi nodded in a daze and waited for Master Ding to continue talking.
Master Ding pointed to Mr. Jin politely with both hands,
"Mr. Jin is the well-deserved jade carving master in the jade carving world, that is, Xiao Mu's master in the legendary story!"
At this time, Dai Zhi was stunned and firmly stunned on the spot. He looked at Master Ding, and then at Grandpa Jin, who also looked at her with hope, and suddenly couldn't react.
Grandpa Jin... The serious and majestic Grandpa Jin in front of outsiders, the Grandpa Jin who has no airs at all in front of him, the Grandpa Jin who loves himself as half a granddaughter, is actually the legendary master figure who has practiced to the peak of jade carving - the eight-knife method, Xiao Pastor's master?
She still remembers that when she first came to this Jinyu Pavilion, Shu Ya introduced him that Mr. Jin was a very powerful person, much more powerful than Cai Zhongtao, but he was hidden in the city and lived in seclusion without asking about the world. At that time, she just felt that the two old people were leisurely and comfortable, which was quite indisputable. I didn't expect that Grandpa Jin was one of the protagonists in the legend of the jade carving world that used to cause a sensation in Huaxia City.
She actually knew such a big man without knowing it. Such a ready-made jade carving master also went to Heliandong's company to find Master Ding. Following such a legendary figure, she must have learned more, and her skills will be more powerful, but after knowing him for so long, she has never seen Grandpa Jin's sculpture. After carving, not to mention carving, he doesn't even know anything about jade carving.
Dai Zhi thought to himself, since the master in the legendary story is Grandpa Jin, what about Xiao Mu, an apprentice who is better than blue? Where is it again?
According to the legend that Master Ding told her, both of them disappeared in Huaxia City.
By the way, didn't Grandpa Jin just ask her what it has to do with Mu'er?
Is it possible that Mu'er... is his apprentice - Xiao Mu?
But she doesn't know Xiao Mu at all...
After Mr. Jin calmed down, he sighed and said in a heavy tone,
"It was more than 20 years ago. I, an old man, lived at this age and was about to enter the coffin. Now, everything in the past is just a cloud, but if the pimple in my heart is not untied for a day, I can't close my eyes at ease all my life. Unexpectedly, God has eyes, and it's really I was pitied and let me know about the whereabouts of the shepherd. Xiaozhi, you must know my shepherd, don't you?
Dai Zhi has affirmed that the shepherd in Grandpa Jin's mouth is Xiao Mu, but she said with some embarrassment, "Grandpa Jin, I know you are eager, but... I really don't know Master Xiao Mu."
If she really knew such a legend, she would not have used to live the poor life of before. As long as she learns a craft, she will have no worries about food and clothing in her life.
Grandpa Jin shook his head,
"Impossible, Xiaozhi, you must know Mu'er. Think about it carefully. I won't be wrong. The first time you came to my Golden Jade Pavilion with Xiaoya, the moonlit stone jade rabbit I bought from you reminded me of my highly qualified disciple Xiao Mu, but I didn't know that the jade rabbit was you. Carving, I didn't expect that the first time I met you would have anything to do with my shepherd. Until two days ago, I went to this year's 'jade carving skills newcomer competition' because I wanted to find clues about herdsmen, but I never found that there was a shepherd in the sculptor of any contestant, but Master Ding The emerald butterfly in my hand suddenly made my eyes brighten... I won't misread this technique and technology. Only my apprentice can have such skills. Although it is obviously worse than herdsman's skills, it is definitely from the teaching of herdsman. Today, let's take a look at the emerald Maitreya Buddha you gave to Lao Shu. Xi is all from you, and I'm absolutely sure that you got the true biography of my shepherd!"
Mr. Jin was very sure, and then asked, "Xiaozhi, think about it, who taught you this skill? Have you ever learned jade carving from a master?
Dai Zhi shook his head blankly and nodded, "I just learned it recently. I learned it from Master Ding." There is no teacher, because Master Ding doesn't like her and won't accept her as an apprentice at all. I'm afraid it will damage his reputation.
Speaking of which, Master Ding is his own jade carving enlightenment teacher, but he is not Xiao Mu, and when she carved the moonstone jade rabbit, she did not know Master Ding at all.
And Master Ding was also very confused. When Dai Zhi came to learn jade carving under him, he did not disdain to teach this girl who he thought relied on the upper position by means, but he also faintly found that she seemed to have a foundation of carving before. Now that with her own ability, even ten of herself are not qualified Be her master...
He suddenly remembered something and asked Dai Zhi, " By the way, didn't you say that your jade carving skills were secretly learned from your father?"
Dai Zhi nodded. Before he could think about all this, he heard Mr. Jin pat himself on the head as if he had an epiphany.
"Look at my head!"
Then he looked up and down and asked, "Xiaozhi, how old are you this year?"
Dai Zhi answered truthfully, "It's 21."
Mr. Jin fell into meditation and muttered to himself, "Twenty-one... Twenty-one... Why didn't I think of it!" Judging from the time, the shepherd's child is exactly this age!"
Mr. Jin grabbed Dai Zhi's hand and couldn't allow him to calm down. At this moment, he looked at Dai Zhi, and his eyes were full of surprise and emotion.
"So you are my daughter! God is really annoying. For 20 years, I have never given up looking for Mu'er. It turns out that Mu'er's daughter has always been by my side, but I haven't found it. It must be! I said that you are so young, how can you be so good at antiques? She is calm and thorough. It turns out that she is the flesh and blood of the shepherd! Your way of doing things is as meticulous as herdsman. Now look, your eyebrows are indeed a little similar to herds..."
Dai Zhi didn't react at all, and Mr. Jin was so excited that he left tears.
"Son, for so many years, I have wronged you two women... God has eyes so that I can meet you!"
Dai Zhi struggled to break free from Grandpa Jin's arms. Although she understood Grandpa Jin's mood at this moment, she could not lie against her conscience to make his wish.
"Grandpa Jin... You have the wrong person. I'm not your apprentice's daughter, and I really don't know Xiao Mu."
"Impossible! Although I am old, I will never mistake the shepherd's method. Tell me your father's name.
"My father's surname is Dai, and my father's name is Dai Fangyuan."
Mr. Jin doesn't believe it, "The name can be changed. Now take me to see your father and go now!"
Dai Zhi was silent for a long time, sucked his nose, and then raised his head, word by word,
"My father is no longer..."
