2732: C2732 Qiu Ming of the Mountain Residence

C2732 Qiu Ming of the Mountain Residence

It had been three days since Gu Yufei secretly played with the chessboard that she had given Old Master Cheng. Tomorrow would be Old Master Cheng's birthday feast.

Huo Niannian arrived at the workshop on time according to the time that she had agreed with the owner of the workshop, Teacher Zhao.

Teacher Zhao had already prepared the snuff pipe that Huo Niannian had asked him to carve for her. When she arrived, he would wrap it up for Huo Niannian.

"You came just in time. Come and see how it's done."

Huo Niannian walked to Teacher Zhao's side and her gaze involuntarily fell on the snuff pot in his hand.

The material of the snuff pot was the blood jade that she had obtained previously. The small one was not even the size of a palm, but it was also extremely beautiful. The place that was not carved was crystal clear, and the red color was very rich.

Teacher Zhao also made another carving on it. She carefully picked it up and placed it under the sun to look.

The half palm sized snuff pot actually had a picture of Mountain Residence, Autumn Ming carved on it!

Whether it was the South Mountain, the chrysanthemum, or the reclusive old man, all of them were lifelike and very exquisite.

Huo Niannian was stunned. Although she knew that her teacher's craftsmanship was very good, she did not expect that it would be so ingenious to such an extent.

She could not help but sigh. "Teacher Zhao, I feel that it is a waste for you to be the boss of a hand-made shop!"

It would not be an exaggeration to say that such a great kung fu skill was a master outside.

Huo Niannian did not notice that Teacher Zhao's gentle eyes flashed with deep regret when he heard her words behind her.

However, Teacher Zhao quickly returned to normal. He laughed twice and said, "Girl, don't flatter me. I only have these two skills. I can't get into the elegant hall."

"Who said that? I think Teacher's craftsmanship isn't inferior to everyone else's."

Huo Niannian reluctantly put the snuff flask into the gift box and continued to praise Teacher Zhao's carving skills.

To be honest, if she did not know Teacher Zhao's identity, she would have suspected that Teacher Zhao was a sculptor and opened a workshop in this unknown alley out of curiosity.

Teacher Zhao was also happy to be praised by her favorite student. This year was almost the year of destiny, so he usually only had this hobby of sculpting. All these years, he had been guarding this workshop by himself. It was inevitable that he would feel lonely. These days, with Huo Niannian, this clever and studious little girl accompanying him, he felt happy in his heart.

Teacher Zhao was in a good mood, so he said a few more words to Huo Niannian, "I heard you say that this is a birthday gift for your grandfather. I wonder how long your grandfather will live this year?"

"Grandfather is 75 years old this year. How about I take the opportunity to introduce you to Grandfather?"

"No need to trouble me. I was just casually asking." Teacher Zhao waved his hand and refused. He handed the packaged gift box to Huo Niannian and said, "Congratulations to your grandfather on my behalf."

Huo Niannian did not feel regret being rejected by Teacher Zhao. She held the small and exquisite gift box in her hand and felt that it was heavy. It contained her and Teacher Zhao's blessings to her grandfather.

It was not early anymore, so Huo Niannian said goodbye to Teacher Zhao.

Not long after she left the handmade store, two women walked out of the dessert store across the street.

If Huo Niannian looked back, she would find that these two were not other people. They were Gu Yufei, who was chased out of the Gu family by Gu Changqing not long ago, and Du Ruoqing, who was in the limelight recently.

Looking at the direction Huo Niannian left in, Gu Yufei's eyes flashed with a complicated expression.

She hated Huo Niannian and hated Huo Niannian. She even wished that Huo Niannian would be eternally doomed.

But Gu Yufei had already understood after the last incident. Even though she hated Huo Niannian to the core, she could not rashly make a move on her.

Gu Changqing had already chased her out of the Gu family. Without the reliance of the Gu family, she was nothing.

So now, she could only rely on Du Ruoqing to restrain her sharp edge so that she would not be targeted by Huo Niannian and Gu Tingshen again.

Du Ruoqing didn't think so.1

She watched Huo Niannian's figure gradually disappear at the end of the road. The hatred in her heart was like a spark of fire slowly burning the land.

This damned slut...

Du Ruoqing scolded fiercely in her heart. After a moment, she set her eyes on the handmade shop that Huo Niannian left.

She sized up the shop and saw that the shop was very small. The number of customers that came and went was pitifully small. There was a look of disgust on her face.

She sneered and said sarcastically, "Gu Tingshen needs to go bankrupt. Why would she come to such a place?"

Du Ruoqing felt that there was something strange about this shop. She felt that Huo Niannian must have come here to do some shady business, so she walked into the shop without saying anything.
