Chapter Seventy-Three: Master Xiao Chen
Pushing open the door, Jin Haoran was sitting at the table, playing with a small jade pot with a unique shape in his hand, carefully observing the carvings on the inner wall of the jade pot.
Lin Wan smiled slightly, walked to the table, sat next to Jin Haoran, and said straight to the point: "Brother Jin, Wan'er took the liberty of suddenly inviting you here, which is really something to ask for." ”
Jin Haoran hooked his lips and smiled, and said gently: "When did Wan'er see the outside world like this, as long as I can help, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Lin Wan was no longer polite, and directly said his intention: "Brother Jin also knows that the poison in my mother can only be solved by the Seven Star Grass, and time is running out." Now only the Seven Star Pill in the hands of King Dongli can be saved, I wonder if the eldest brother is willing to help?"
Jin Haoran did not hesitate, nodded and said, "Although the Seven Star Pill is precious, my father can't use it now, of course I can give it to you." It's just that now it is very difficult to go to the Dongli Palace to get medicine. ”
Lin Wan stood up happily, quickly bent down and made a big salute, and thanked: "Thank you big brother for your generosity!"
Jin Haoran couldn't stop it, so he had to accept her salute and said with a smile: "Why should Wan'er be polite, if it weren't for your help, my life might have been gone, so why worry about the Seven Star Pill." ”
Lin Wan smiled slightly, shook his head, no longer dwelled on this topic, and asked, "Does the eldest brother know if Jin Pengzhan has any personal tokens?"
Jin Haoran nodded and said, "Jin Pengzhan has a piece of personal jade pendant, if there is something urgent, it will be handed over to the personal guard as a token to facilitate action." ”
Lin Wan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Big brother, do you know the materials, colors, and patterns of that jade pendant, can you draw it?"
Jin Haoran smiled slightly, nodded and said: "I am very familiar with that jade pendant, Jin Pengzhan hangs it on his waist all day long, but the materials and workmanship are difficult to imitate." Jin Haoran looked at the jade pot in his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "However, with the craftsmanship of this Shadow Fragrance Pavilion, you should be able to give it a try." ”
Lin Wan stood up, pointed to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the bookcase next to him, and said with a smile: "Great, then please ask Brother Jin to draw it now, I will let the jade master do it immediately." ”
Jin Haoran nodded, stood up, sat down in front of the bookcase, laid out the paper, lifted the pen, and raised his wrist to draw it carefully.
Lin Wan helped grind on the side, and watched carefully, only to see that it was an oval-shaped jade pendant, on which there was a large peng soaring with wings, one stroke at a time, and each feather was very detailed.
Jin Haoran drew very quickly, and it only took half a cup of tea to paint. changed another piece of paper, took a pen and wrote a letter to King Dongli, the letter mainly wrote how he got the help of Lin Wan and others, and implored his father to give medicine Yunyun.
Lin Wan was very moved, and her heart was agitated, but she was no longer polite to Jin Haoran. The two of them know in their hearts that they are already friends who take care of each other and stick knives in both sides.
Shopkeeper Tang opened the curtain and walked in, holding a large tray in his hand, which was filled with precious jade materials of various colors.
Shopkeeper Tang lightly placed the tray on the bookcase, Jin Haoran pointed to one of the pieces of moire jade without hesitation, nodded and said: "The color and material of this piece of jade are very similar to that token, as long as the effect of my painting can be carved, it is definitely enough to be real!"
"Shopkeeper Tang, is the jade master here?" Lin Wan asked.
Shopkeeper Tang nodded and replied, "Yes, miss, Master Xiao Chen is waiting outside the door." ”
Lin Wan had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't hesitate, nodded and said, "Then quickly invite Master Xiao Chen in." ”
Shopkeeper Tang lifted the curtain and nodded to the door. After a while, a young man walked in, bowed down and stood in front of Lin Wan and the others, and said respectfully: "Villain Chen Tong, I have seen Miss and Childe." ”
Jin Haoran nodded slightly and looked at the man. Chen Tong was about seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and thin, with a long face and thin lips. The eyes are not big, but they are very bright, and they look ordinary, dressed in a white robe, and their hair is all tied on the top of their heads, revealing a high smooth forehead and thick eyebrows. His hands hung down at his sides, revealing his long, white fingers, and his nails were trimmed neatly.
Lin Wan smiled slightly and said, "Master Xiao Chen doesn't need to be polite. After speaking, he turned his head to look at the shopkeeper Tang and waited for him to introduce.
Shopkeeper Tang hurriedly explained: "Miss, the old master Chen in our store is a famous jade master in Beijing, and his craftsmanship can be called the first person in Beijing. This Master Chen is his only son, and he has been learning with Master Chen since he was a child. Now most of the jade in our store is from his hands, just now Jin Gongzi saw the jade pot is carved by him, his subordinates know that Miss is in a hurry, so dare to let Master Xiao Chen try it, he is not only good at craftsmanship, but also extremely fast. ”
Lin Wan was overjoyed and asked Chen Tong: "Great, please ask Master Chen to come and take a look at this drawing, do you have any questions, can it be exactly the same?"
Chen Tong stepped forward, took the drawings in Lin Wan's hand with both hands, looked at them carefully for a moment, and replied without hesitation: "The drawings are drawn very clearly, there is no problem, I can do exactly the same, three hours is enough." ”
Lin Wan nodded, and said, "Okay, you go and prepare now, in three hours, I will see exactly the same thing." ”
"Yes, miss. After Chen Tong bent down, he turned around with the drawings and the jade materials selected by Jin Haoran, and the shopkeeper Tang also retreated with the tray.
After they left, Jin Haoran looked at Lin Wan with a smile and said, "Wan'er has a lot of capable people here." ”
Lin Wan sighed and said seriously: "Yes, there are few capable people, and it really can't be a bad thing to steal chickens and dogs, and cheat." ”
Jin Haoran couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, shook his head and didn't talk to her, folded the letter he had written before, and then took a white jade ring from his little thumb, handed it to Lin Wan together, and instructed: "Most of the people in Dongli are Li Xingyu's people now, even if that jade pendant can be fake, it must not be taken lightly." I will send two guards to go back with your people, you are not familiar with the place, and you have a lot of convenience, it will be much more convenient for two Dongli people to lead the way, and it is not easy to show your feet when you speak. This is my token, when I get to Dongli Kyoto, go to the Liuyun Inn first, show this ring to the proprietress, she will find a way to let you see my father, give this letter to my father, and he will definitely give you the Seven Star Pill. ”
Lin Wan nodded, took these two things, carefully put them into his sleeve pocket, smiled at Jin Haoran, and said, "Brother Jin, don't worry, I will arrange it." I made an appointment with my eldest brother to drink in Tianxianglou, it's almost time, let's go. ”
Jin Haoran nodded and walked out of the wing room with Lin Wan.
Seeing that the shopkeeper Tang was waiting outside the door, Lin Wan instructed: "Shopkeeper Tang, send it to Tianxianglou as soon as the things are ready." ”
"Yes, miss. Shopkeeper Tang nodded and sent Lin Wan and Jin Haoran out the back door.
