Pride girl

Chapter 79
After making a decision, she put the three-color jade into her bag and rang the doorbell of Mr. Gu's house.

The doorbell rang for a long time, until Gu Xiaoxi thought there was no one at home, only then did he hear a voice from the yard.It was the servant of Mr. Gu's family who came to open the door, Wan Ru.She had met Gu Xiaoxi before, but she only took a general look at her facial features.Looking at it from the front, I always felt that there was a certain degree of familiarity between the eyebrows and eyes, and after a slight start, I opened the courtyard door.

"You came to see the master?" Wanru stepped forward, took her hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "Master, he is reading in the study, I will take you to the living room to sit for a while. By the way, little girl, what is your name?" What?"

This looks like she is 46 or [-] years old, but last time I heard her talking to Mr. Gu, I felt that she should be in the same grade as Mr. Gu. At this moment, I really don't know what to call her, so I hesitated, and replied with a smile : "My name is Gu Xiaoxi, you can call me Xiaoxi directly."

"Your surname is Gu?" Wan Ru stopped and looked at her in surprise, muttering something in his mouth, and his eyes seemed to reveal joy.It took a long time before she realized her own gaffe, smiled apologetically, took Gu Xiaoxi's hand again, and walked towards the small three-story western-style building along Huajian Alley, while asking again: "Miss Xiaoxi, what are you doing?" Who else is there?"

"And my mother, just the two of us." To Wan Ruan's strange question, Gu Xiaoxi answered politely.

Wan Ru's eyes lit up again, and she couldn't help clenching the hand holding Xiaoxi: "Then, what about your father? And your mother, what's her last name?"

This doesn't seem like a talkative person, why is he pulling her to inquire about such a private matter?
Gu Xiaoxi frowned slightly, looked down at Wanru's tightly held hand, with a bit of difficulty in his expression: "I—"

"Wan Ru, who's here?" Old Master Gu's voice reminded him in time, saving Gu Xiaoxi from the embarrassing situation of answering or not answering.

"Grandpa Gu, it's me." Gu Xiaoxi withdrew her hand without a trace, and walked towards the source of the voice.When Mr. Gu saw that it was Gu Xiaoxi, he greeted her with a haha ​​smile: "Little girl, why are you here? Did you come to drink tea with me, an old man?"

"Hehe, Grandpa Gu, this time I have something to ask for your help." Gu Xiaoxi walked to his side, took his arm and walked inside naturally.She originally thought that she would be embarrassed to speak, but for some reason, when she saw Mr. Gu, she felt a very kind feeling, which diluted the embarrassment: "I have a piece of jadeite, and I want to ask Grandpa Gu to help me carve a few pieces of jade. A small ornament. After seeing your vegetable and fruit paradise, Grandpa Gu, and looking at the works of other carvers, I always feel that it is a bit worse."

Hearing this, Mr. Gu laughed again: "Little girl, you have some eyesight. However, when I carve things, it depends on the material. I won't take over jadeite made of ordinary materials."

"The jade material in my hand, Grandpa Gu, you should still be able to see it." Gu Xiaoxi said with a smile, lowered her head and opened the bag while talking, and took the three-color jade out of the bag .The moment she lowered her head, from the corner of her eye, Wan Ru was still following them, her eyes were staring at her tightly without blinking.The expression was also very strange, a little anxious, a little joyful, and shaking his head from time to time.

This like look is really strange, not only looking at her all the time, but also giving her a feeling of looking at another person through her!
It seems that since he said his surname is Gu, this kind of behavior has become particularly weird!What happened to the surname Gu?Could it be that Mr. Gu is only allowed to have the surname Gu?Or, is it because she looks like someone she knows?For example, Mr. Gu's daughter?Gu Xiaoxi thought of the photo he saw in his wallet when he first met Mr. Gu, the person in it was really similar to himself when he was a child!

But, it can't be that old man Gu is her grandfather, right?Even if it was a coincidence, this matter would not have happened by chance!
Gu Xiaoxi thought it was funny, shook his head secretly, resumed his movements, took out the three-color jadeite from the bag, and just as he took out the bag, he heard a surprised sound from Mr. Gu: "Three-color jadeite? Fu Lu Shou ?”

"Grandpa Gu, take a look, is this piece of emerald worthy of your old man's eyes?" Gu Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly. As she expected, Old Master Gu's originally calm expression suddenly changed, and he walked forward with a look of surprise. After taking two steps, he hurriedly took the jade handed by Gu Xiaoxi, walked to the door, faced the sunlight, looked left and right.While looking at it, he said in his mouth: "The ice seed is very good, and these colors go well together. The green is spinach green, with a blue tint, and the green is very even; the red is also at the same level as the ice seed. The color is bright orange, quite transparent; this purple is a light pinkish purple, which matches well with the dark green and orange red, just right. It's very good, both the color and the variety are good. Little girl, do you want to sell this piece of jade?"

Gu Xiaoxi groaned, and quickly shook her head: "Grandpa Gu, I'm going to give this emerald to someone else."

Mr. Gu's eyes were locked on the jadeite in his hand, with a look of reluctance, but it didn't make it difficult for Gu Xiaoxi: "What do you want to engrave?"

"Grandpa Gu, do you have a pen and paper?" Old Master Gu nodded, turned and walked to the room on the right. Gu Xiaoxi followed closely behind him and entered a room.

This should be a study room. As soon as you enter the door, you will see several calligraphy and paintings, some of which are yellow and old, like ancient paintings.There are also a few brand new ones, Gu Xiaoxi glanced at them casually, and guessed that they should be written by Mr. Gu, the handwriting is flamboyant and flamboyant, it is a rare good handwriting.

There are also two large bookcases in the room, which are full of books of all kinds.In the center of the bookcase is a solid wood desk with rice paper on one corner and a small shelf on the other side full of various brushes.There is a white jade research platform in the middle. The white jade looks warm and delicate, and it looks like an antique.

Gu Xiaoxi took the pencil and white paper handed over by Mr. Gu, lowered his head and simply painted, and said: "It's like this, a long-lived old man, half sideways, holding a birthday peach in his hand. The rest I want to make a couple Couple pendant, this look."

Gu Xiaoxi is extremely talented in drawing, and has learned to draw since she was a child.So without any effort, the long-lived old man was outlined, with a fluttering beard and a sense of immortality; the birthday peach is not to mention, with a few casual strokes, a plump big birthday peach is drawn.The couple ornaments are also very simple, they are two three-dimensional dolls of a man and a woman.

Mr. Gu didn't say anything, he watched Gu Xiaoxi with admiration after finishing the drawing, then took the white paper over and added two strokes casually.This shot was extraordinary, and suddenly, like the finishing touch, it made this already excellent painting a little more agile and lively.
