Zhao Yeqin glanced at the tea cup on the table, quickly put it away, and said: "I am a little careless, and I always forget to put away the tea sets. In fact, I drank it with my colleagues this morning."

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

However, the eyes looking at the teacup were a little more meaningful.

Drink in the morning?

As a result, there is a bit of heat now.

The thermal insulation effect of this open tea cup is amazing!

Shen Lian took a deep look at Zhao Yeqin, but did not expose Zhao Yeqin's lies.

He looked towards Zhao Yeqin's table.

I saw some drawings and a few books on the table.

There is ink on the inkstone.

It seems that Zhao Yeqin is very busy today.

He looked at other parts of the office.

The decoration of this office room is also relatively simple.

Six tables, arranged in order.

Three on each side.

Behind each desk, there is a small bookshelf.

Under the bookshelf, there is a cabinet.

Obviously, the decorations here are all standard and everyone is the same.

The only difference is that the items on each table are different.

For example, Zhao Yeqin only has the four treasures of his study and books.

On the table in front of Zhao Yeqin, there is a small flowerpot with a small flower planted on it.

On the table opposite Zhao Yeqin, there is an exquisite small stone carving, which is a colorful tiger with its head high and roaring in the forest.

However, one of the tiger's ears was missing, which reminded Shen Lian of a children's song.

"One has no ears and one has no eyes. It's so strange... Hey back."

Shen Lian picked up the small stone sculpture and said with a smile: "It's really strange."

When Zhao Yeqin, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, heard Shen Lian's words, his pupils trembled slightly.

He looked at the tiger stone carving in Shen Lian's hand and explained: "Originally, this stone carving was complete, but a few days ago, when Xiaguan passed by, he accidentally touched him and touched it to the ground, causing the tiger's ears to If one of them was knocked off, it would look like this strange thing now."

Hearing this, Shen Lian raised his finger and touched the broken ear of the stone sculpture. Feeling the graininess of his fingertips, he nodded slightly and said, "It turns out that it was Mr. Zhao who broke it. I asked him, what happened to his ear?" Gone."

"If Mr. Zhao hadn't said it, I would have thought that this was his characteristic, and it wouldn't have been there when he was carving it."

Zhao Yeqin laughed sarcastically: "How is this possible? How is it possible that the ears are not deliberately removed when carving."

Shen Lian looked at the tiger carefully and saw that the stone tiger was colorful and its eyes were very bright red. It gave the impression that the eyes were bloodshot and looked very intimidating.

Shen Lian said: "The eyes of this tiger are very unique. Generally, the eyes of stone tigers will not be dyed blood red."

Zhao Yeqin scratched his head and said, "Xiaoguan also thinks it's very unique. Once you see these eyes, it's hard to forget."

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

He put the stone carving back to its original place and asked, "Whose stone carving is it?"

Zhao Yeqin said hurriedly: "It belongs to Mr. Han Xunhan, Yuanwailang."

Han Xun?

Shen Lian recalled it.

Soon, I knew who Han Xun was.

Han Xun, a member of the Ministry of Industry, is responsible for the design and review of housing buildings.

He is forty-three years old and has worked in the Ministry of Industry for twenty years. He is an old minister of the Sui Dynasty and stayed in the Tang Dynasty after the founding of the country.

During these years, he participated in the construction of the Daming Palace, inns, and palaces, as well as the residences of many princes and ministers.

Even though his abilities are not strong, his connections are not weak either.

"It turns out to be Mr. Han's."

Shen Lian suddenly nodded.

Zhao Yeqin said: "Master Han likes architecture and also likes to study sculpture. This stone sculpture was carved by Master Han himself."

Shen Lian couldn't help but admire and exclaimed: "Master Han's carving method is also at the master level."

“I don’t dare to take it, I don’t dare to take it!”

At this time, a strong voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Shen Lian followed the sound and saw Yuanwai Lang Han Xun striding in.

Han Xun was walking like a dragon and a tiger, and he seemed to be in a good state of mind. He smiled heartily, raised his hands to Shen Lian and said: "Don't dare to be a lower official. Mr. Shen's master said that the official carving is just to kill time with nothing to do, and the real skills are Compared with everyone, they are much worse."

Shen Lian chuckled and said: "I don't know the carving skills. I just looked at it from the perspective of an ordinary viewer. I just feel that this tiger is carved so lifelike, especially the color matching of the eyes, which is full of boldness and imagination." , I am deeply impressed.”

Han Xun laughed, picked up the stone sculpture, and said, "It is an honor for it to be liked by Mr. Shen."

With that said, Han Xun put the stone sculpture into a box.

Seeing this, Shen Lian asked curiously: "Master Han, what do you want?"

Han Xun said: "The stone sculpture fell to the ground a few days ago and its ear was knocked off. I am going to take it back to Xiaguan to study it and see if it can be repaired."

When Zhao Yeqin heard this, he looked ashamed and said, "It's all my fault that the official didn't pay attention when he was walking."

Han Xun smiled and waved his hand: "This is not Mr. Zhao's intention. Mr. Zhao does not need to worry about it."

Shen Lian looked at Han Xun and said, "Master Han is really kind-hearted."

Han Xun smiled and said: "We are all colleagues. Besides, I also understand Mr. Zhao as a human being. He did not mean it. It is just a small object. There is no need to hold on to it."

Zhao Yeqin looked touched.

Shen Lian said: "The relationship between Master Han and Master Zhao is really enviable."

Han Xun said: "We are all colleagues fighting side by side, so naturally we have a better relationship."

Shen Lian nodded slightly and extended an invitation: "Master Han, why don't you also sit down and have a cup of tea?"

Han Xun hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I have to go help with the archives office. This..."

Shen Lian nodded slightly and extended an invitation: "Master Han, why don't you also sit down and have a cup of tea?"
