After wearing the book, I became the mother of three villains

Chapter 18 You carry a big one, help send it back

Xiao Lei smiled awkwardly, patted the wood shavings on his body, and beckoned the two of them to enter the room: "San Ye has bad ears, come in, let's go in and talk!"

Yao Sanye's home was still deserted, but there were a lot of carpenter's tools in a mess, and there were even five or six carving knives, large and small.

The third master was leaning on the kang, leaning against the wall and taking a nap.

Xiao Lei stepped forward and woke him up with a gentle shake: "Third Master, Brother Feng and Sister Shu are here."

When the old man came back to his senses, he saw Yao Feng and Yao Shu standing not far away. He stood up and greeted with a smile, "I'm getting old, and I can fall asleep if I don't pay attention. Come in and sit down!"

Xiao Lei quickly arranged the tables and chairs, and invited the Yao family brothers and sisters to sit down. Yao Shu sincerely said to the old man, "Thank you for your hard work."

Thinking about it, San Ye Diao spent a lot of effort these days, otherwise he wouldn't be dozing off in broad daylight.

Yao Sanye waved his hand: "Where is that, we craftsmen don't talk about that."

Yao Feng brought a large bag of cornmeal and a small bag of white flour this time, and handed them to Xiaolei, asking him to put them away in the kitchen.

The third master scolded: "I come here as soon as I come, and I have to bring a lot of things every time! Don't come here next time!"

Yao Feng just laughed and didn't answer.

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, Third Master Yao took out the carved rouge box and handed it to Yao Shu: "Girl, take a look, does the third master carve what you want?"

Forty rouge boxes were packed in four big boxes according to different styles.

Yao Shu took out one of each pattern, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully.

I saw a small palm-sized box, the body of which was outlined with smooth lines, and the lids were vividly engraved with winter jasmine, lovebirds, scarabs, and gold ingots; A small "Yao" character is engraved on it.

The real thing is exactly the same as the painting, isn't it what she wants!

Yao Shu couldn't put it down and praised: "The third master's craftsmanship is really amazing!"

Even Yao Feng, who didn't like to pay attention to the details, held a small box carved with beetles, and said in admiration: "Even in our town, I have never seen such a good carver as the third master."

The old man was not modest, he just said: "The third master has dealt with wood all his life, and his craftsmanship is incomparable to others. However, no matter how good the craftsmanship is, in the past, he would only carve peonies and peonies that we country people love. ..."

Then he sighed again: "After all, you are scholars, with a lot of knowledge and high skills. As soon as Shu girl took out this painting, I knew that the rouge box was half finished."

Just as they were talking, Xiaolei walked in, just in time to hear this sentence, and also interjected: "What the third master said is true! Sister Ashu painted in detail, even the pattern, the box body, and the bottom of the box are clear. Chu drew it, so that people like us who can't sculpt can understand it..."

Yao Feng was more happy to hear his little sister being praised than himself, but he said modestly: "Ashu's paintings are all learned by herself, and she also likes to read some idle books, but she is here in this strange school." There are some skills in painting skills."

All the scholars in Yan State love meticulous brushwork and advocate leaving blank space, so Yao Shu's sketches are naturally not considered a painting skill that can be regarded as elegant.

It's just that the country people don't know this, they just look pleasing to the eye and look good.

The third master stared at him, and said angrily: "Scholars have a lot of things! A good painting is a good painting, and there is no difference between righteous and evil ways!"

While speaking, the third master asked Yao Lei to take out one hundred uncarved rouge boxes, and said to Yao Shu: "These boxes are all made by your brother Lei, let's take a look at them too."

The uncarved rouge box is the most basic carpentry test. First of all, the size of one hundred boxes is the same, and there should be no gap between the lid and the box body. Finally, the box body should be smooth and evenly painted.

The more Yao Shu watched, the more satisfied he was. Suddenly, he turned over a box and found a small word "Yao" on the bottom of the box.

Yao Lei smiled shyly: "The third master told me that this is the word 'Yao' in our Yaojia Village, and seeing that the third master carved it on every box, I also carved a character on it myself. "

Yao Shu smiled gratefully, "Thank you Brother Lei, you did a great job."

She looked over with her clear and lingling gaze, a pair of beautiful almond eyes with a smile on her face, the honest young man blushed suddenly, and he didn't know how to move his hands and feet.

"This, this is what I should do, sister, you are welcome."

Third Master Yao glanced at Yao Lei, but did not speak.

Yao Shu didn't notice Yao Lei's strangeness, he just thought it was the honesty and shyness of a countryman.

Yao Feng took four taels of silver and gave it to the third master, and everyone chatted indifferently.

After a while, Yao Shu bid farewell because he was concerned about the three treasures at home.

"How can the two of you carry these things back?" Third Master Yao turned his head and told Yao Lei, "You carry a big one and help send it back."

Xiao Lei hurriedly responded with a "hey".

On the way home, Yao Feng was speechless for a while, Yao Feng didn't speak, Yao Shu was thinking about how many boxes of rouge he made at home could hold, Yao Lei only dared to pretend to be watching the road, and occasionally glanced in Yao Shu's direction.

The atmosphere was unusually quiet.

In the end, it was Yao Feng who spoke first: "Xiao Lei, how is your family doing?"
