Zhu Gui was surprised: "Why do you think about doing this kind of thing?"

Wu Yong briefly said about the wedding card sent by Zhujiazhuang: "We plan to send a pair of golden geese to them as a gift." ”

After Zhu Gui heard this, he recommended an old craftsman to Wu Yong: "He is the most outstanding goldsmith in the county and even in the city, everyone calls him Lao Jin, do you want to go now or in two days?"

Wu Yong: "Let's go now." "Be prepared early, be at ease early.

Zhu Gui took them directly to Lao Jin's house, Lao Jin hasn't taken much work recently, and they may not be able to start right away if they go directly like this, so even if Wu Yong said that they would go in two days, Zhu Gui would persuade them to go over today.

Lao Jin was also an ambitious person when he was young, and even went to the capital to wander, but when he was old, he liked these peaceful lives, and even farmed by himself.

When Wu Yong arrived, the servant who took care of Lao Jin said, "The master is in the vegetable garden, if the three of you are not in a hurry, you can wait here for him to come back." "When my master was busy working in the vegetable garden, he didn't like others to disturb him, so the servant didn't think of sending Wu Yong to the vegetable garden at all.

Zhu Gui also knew something about Lao Jin's habits, so he simply followed the servants to the living room, and even beckoned Wu to use them to follow.

Wu Yong and them could only follow Zhu Gui to act, after all, they were not as familiar with Lao Jin as Zhu Guilai.

A quarter of an hour later, someone came back with a smell of earth and beckoned to the servant in the courtyard: "Lao Ding, come and bring the dishes to the kitchen, and I'll wash them first." ”

The servant Lao Ding immediately ran over, took the dishes in his master's hand, and explained that a guest was coming: "The shopkeeper Zhu is waiting for you in the living room with two people, and you will go over and have a look after washing." ”

Lao Jin nodded and went back to the house to wash himself first.

Zhu Gui also heard the movement of Lao Jin coming back, and suggested that Wu use them: "You can start thinking about the style, Lao Jin doesn't like to go around in circles, you just say your requirements." ”

These people who have developed to a certain point in their skills will inevitably have some strange tempers, and Wu Yong does not feel strange.

Wu Yong: "Okay, how did you meet this one?"

Zhu Gui: "It's not good for me to tell you about this now, if you're really curious, you can ask Lao Jin directly at that time." "After all, when it comes to Lao Jin's private affairs, Zhu Gui still has to keep it a secret.

Wu used them obediently and waited for Lao Jin to come over.

Lao Jin, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, walked into the living room, and did not greet Wu Yong, and sat down directly in the seat next to Zhu Gui.

A little disgusted, he said, "What are you doing here?"

Zhu Gui returned with a smile: "Send you business, lest you really have to go to the soil to beg for a living." ”

Wu Yong looks at their state, a bit like a bad friend, it seems that their friendship is really good.

Lao Jin and Zhu Gui played with each other for a while before turning their heads to look at Wu Yong and them: "What do you want?"

Wu Yong: "We want to cast a pair of golden geese, which are intended to be given to the newlyweds, as for the style, you can just look at it, this is the material we brought." ”

After Wu Yong finished speaking, he put the gold they had brought on the table.

It was the first time Lao Jin had seen such an unparticular guest: "You really don't have any other requirements?"

Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng both nodded, indicating that they had no opinions.

The old gold could only check the fineness of the gold they had brought.

After finding that the condition was very good, he said directly: "I'll help you do it now, you can do it yourself, and I will send it to Zhu Gui when it's done." ”

Obviously, a work can not be completed in a day, and Lao Jin has no awareness of entertaining guests, which is no different from driving people away.

Fortunately, Zhu Gui was familiar with his character, and he didn't really take Wu Yong and them back like this, but called Lao Ding over: "Let's stay for lunch today, don't forget to prepare our portions." ”

Lao Ding also has a lot of respect for Zhu Gui, after all, he is an old friend of his master: "Yes, do you have anything you want to eat?"

Zhu Gui: "Just follow the dishes you originally planned to prepare for your master, and I will also taste the difference between the dishes grown by Lao Jin himself." ”

Lao Ding listened to the order and went down to prepare.

Zhu Gui took Wu Yong to visit the works of Lao Jin when he was young.

These are all brought back from the capital, full of youthful ambitions, gorgeous and exquisite.

Lao Jin doesn't really look at these works much now, after all, these things are also his black history, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see these works, and only friends recognized by Lao Jin can enter his library to see these things.

Wu used them as the welfare of old acquaintances, and he was quite surprised to see these things: "Since you don't like it, why do you keep it?"

Zhu Gui: "He probably forgot that he still had these things, otherwise he would have melted them a long time ago." ”

After Wu Yong and them visited, he followed Zhu Gui to visit Lao Jin's studio.

Lao Jin was already immersed in the state of work, and there was no reaction to Wu Yong and them coming in, Zhu Gui whispered to Wu Yong and them to introduce the process here.

Wu Yong listened carefully to them, these are all processes that have not been seen in modern times, and Wu Yong even took out a pen to record them.

After leaving the studio, Wu Yong was curious: "Doesn't Lao Jin plan to pass on his craftsmanship?"

Zhu Gui: "He once had an apprentice who has already graduated from school, but he hasn't come to see him for a long time. Since then, Lao Jin has not accepted any more apprentices, and plans to hand over all the family business to the servant Lao Ding in the future, and he has not even given the address here to the apprentice.

Wu Yong guessed that there must be a story in this, but it was not good to ask too much.

The servant Lao Ding prepared lunch for them: "A few of you will eat first, and I will go and call the master over." "Once my master starts working, he will completely forget about eating, so Lao Ding has to fight with him every time.

This time was no exception, Wu Yong and they had already eaten half of it, Lao Jin just appeared at the table, and Wu used them and Lao Jin to eat the remaining half of the lunch quietly.

Lao Jin didn't rush back to work after the meal, sat down and had a cup of tea with Wu Yong, mainly because Lao Ding locked the studio when he got him out to eat, and he couldn't get in for the time being.

Wu used them to secretly praise Lao Ding: Well done.

Lao Ding smiled and went to tidy up the kitchen, and when dealing with the master, he was still very effective.

When Wu Yong was chatting, he pretended to ask casually: "I heard that you and Zhu Gui have known each other for a long time, I don't know how you met?"
