Chapter 8
Chapter 8
After about half a column of incense, Gu Changgeng looked dignified and came out of the Jinyinzhai.
"Miss, we'd better go back to the house quickly. If others find us leaving the house without permission, we will all be punished."
Lin Qingqian comforted the uneasy spring and summer. "Don't be afraid. We'll go back later, but now we'll go to the gold and silver Zhai first."
"Miss..."
Chunxia couldn't persuade Lin Qingqian. She followed her into the gold and silver Zhai with a sad face.
The shopkeeper of Jinyinzhai came forward with a smile and said, "Miss, what jewelry do you need? Our jewelry has exquisite styles and many styles, which can be said to be one of the best in Kyoto."
Lin Qingqian looked casually, picked up a small hand, shook his eyes, and asked carelessly, "shopkeeper, I just met a young man in green when I came in. What did he come to buy?"
"That little childe, he came to ask me if he could repair a jade pendant for him, but the jade pendant was broken in two. It was absolutely impossible to recover. He asked me again and again, so I told him that there was a shop called Qingcheng square in which the jeweler made a living in the Palace when he was young. It is said that his craftsmanship was very good. I asked him to go there and have a try."
Jade pendant?
Lin Qingqian thought of what he said a few days ago in spring and summer. He threw the only jade pendant Gu Changgeng's father left him, and he began to fight him.
"Shopkeeper, where is Qingcheng square?"
"In front of the Wangjianglou Inn, the opposite is qingchengfang."
Lin Qingqian said, "thank you." Pull up Chunxia and say, "let's go and have a look."
"Hey, miss, you don't look at our jewelry anymore..." before the shopkeeper's voice fell, Lin Qingqian took someone and disappeared at the front intersection. He felt depressed, touched his nose and went back to greet other guests.
Spring and summer trotted all the way, barely keeping up with Lin Qingqian's steps.
Before long, they came to the Qingcheng square mentioned by the shopkeeper of Jinyinzhai.
Seeing Lin Qingqian going in, Chunxia grabbed her and said anxiously, "Miss, shall we go back to the house? Others will know that we are not in the house later!"
"Don't worry, no one will find out. You see, the weather is cold, and the people in the house know that I'm not well from the wind and cold. I need to rest quietly. I won't come to disturb my rest."
"But..."
Lin Qingqian didn't give spring and summer time to hesitate. Without saying a word, he took her into Qingcheng square.
Gu Changgeng frowned and stood in front of the counter. He said to an old man with gray hair and about 60 years old: "teacher, can't this jade pendant really be repaired? The jade pendant is very important to me. Can you please think again and see if there are other ways?"
The teacher shook his head in embarrassment, "young master, it's not that I don't want to help you. If gold and silver jewelry is OK, I really can't do anything about this jade pendant. You'd better find another expert."
Gu Changgeng clenched the broken jade pendant in his hand, and his eyebrows were full of gloom.
Suddenly, a beautiful voice sounded behind him.
"Brother Changgeng, I have a way here. Maybe I can repair your jade pendant."
Gu Changgeng looked back and his face sank, "Lin Qingqian, it's you again!"
Lin Qingqian walked to Gu Changgeng in three or two steps, tried to put on a look and said sincerely, "brother Changgeng, will you show me the jade pendant first? I really have a way to repair the jade pendant."
Gu Changgeng sneered in his heart. The skilled teachers were helpless. What can she do.
"You don't have to pretend. You broke the jade pendant yourself. Now you tell me that you have a way to help me repair it. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"Miss, it must have been unintentional to break your jade pendant..." Chunxia's eyes are wandering and wants to protect the Lord without conscience.
Sure enough, Gu Changgeng glanced ironically at Lin Qingqian and was ready to turn and leave.
Lin Qingqian ran to Gu Changgeng and opened his arms to stop him. "Brother Changgeng, you believe me once. It was my fault before. This time I just want to make up for my mistakes. I swear that everything I said is true and there is no intention of tricking you!"
Gu Changgeng closed his eyes and seemed to waver.
Lin Qingqian added, "just show me the jade pendant. You keep it. I don't even touch it. I can't do anything to damage the jade pendant."
Gu Changgeng thought for a moment, "OK, I can show you the jade pendant. If you dare to make any more ghost ideas..."
The warning in the words made Lin Qingqian tremble at the bottom of his heart and quickly said with a dry smile: "I will never make any ghost ideas. I'll just have a look."
Nonsense, her future depends on him. It's too late for her to make any ghost ideas to please him.
Gu Changgeng spread out the round jade pendant that had been broken into two halves. The texture of the jade was crystal clear. The fractures on both sides were fairly flat, and there were reliefs engraved with the word Gu on it.
Lin Qingqian stared at the jade pendant without blinking, as if thinking.
After staring for a long time, the teacher sighed and said, "little girl, I'm three out of sixty this year. I've never heard of a method to repair jade. Don't cheat this little childe again."
Gu Changgeng flashed a touch of loss and was about to put away the jade pendant. Lin Qingqian said coldly, "I have a way. Although I can't make the jade pendant recover, at least the defect after repair is the smallest."
The teacher Fu looked at Lin Qingqian in surprise. "Is that true, little girl?"
"Teacher Fu, you say you are very good at making gold and silver jewelry, don't you?"
"I don't boast. I once made a walking hairpin in the imperial palace. The empress of each palace is very satisfied without exception!"
Lin Qingqian nodded slightly, "I believe the teacher Fu Ding can do the skill of repairing curium nails."
"Curium nail repair? I've never heard of this method."
In modern times, the repair of curium nails is porcelain sawing, a process that can repair porcelain. Lin Qingqian thinks that the same principle can be used to repair jade pendant.
"This..." Lin Qingqian didn't know how to explain for a moment. After thinking about it, he said, "brother Changgeng, can you give me the jade pendant? I won't damage it. I can use the jade pendant as a demonstration. I can talk more specifically."
Gu Changgeng was skeptical and finally gave her the jade pendant.
Lin Qingqian put the two jade pendants together on the counter. "Teacher, can I borrow the pen, ink, paper and inkstone?"
"Help yourself, little girl."
"Thank you."
Lin Qingqian took his pen and dipped it in some ink. He concentrated on writing on the paper.
Gu Changgeng looked at Lin Qingqian quietly. In front of her, she showed a gentle and restrained calm and elegant, which was different from her arrogant and domineering in the past.
After half a cup of tea, Lin Qingqian put down his pen. The teacher looked at it seriously and became more and more confused.
"Little girl, what you draw on it is..."
"Miss, we'd better go back to the house quickly. If others find us leaving the house without permission, we will all be punished."
Lin Qingqian comforted the uneasy spring and summer. "Don't be afraid. We'll go back later, but now we'll go to the gold and silver Zhai first."
