Chapter 18: The Master at Hand
Several days have passed, and every time I ask the bustard's mother Shuyang's whereabouts, there is no news, maybe as the bustard's mother said, no news is good news, she comforted herself with a glimmer of hope.
Want to get out of the building? No way.
The scope of her own movement is limited by the bustard's mother to the side room and the toilet, and the usual food and drink are brought by truffles, and this side room does not even have a window to see the sky outside.
Thinking that this kind of dull and boring days would end without knowing when it would end, and that there was no news of Shu Yang day after day, Tao Muqing felt even more bored and uneasy.
If it weren't for Brother Wu's mouth, sometimes he even wondered if the bustard's mother really sent someone to help her find someone.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, Tao Muqing put down the books in his hand and sighed dullly.
"Well, I said Miss Liuli, I didn't even sulk when I heard it, but you read it boringly?"
Fang was so immersed in his own thoughts that he completely forgot about his existence.
This is the second time in these days that he has spoken to himself, except for a few words he said when we first met.
In the past, he did him every time, she read hers, the two did not interfere with each other, and after a long time, it was easy to ignore his existence.
Sometimes she wondered what he was doing? Tao Muqing couldn't help but become curious, and looked at the fat man outside the screen.
She found that he really liked jade, and every time he could take out a different jade from his arms, if it weren't for his pennilessness, she really wanted to get a piece of jade of her own from him, so that she didn't have to think about how to borrow money from the bustard's mother to buy it in the market.
She is now restricted from even walking around the building, and it is impossible to get out, Tao Muqing is helpless and helpless, so she can only sigh silently.
Seeing that although he was talking to himself, his eyes were still on the jade fan in his hand, and his fascination made Tao Muqing involuntarily stare at the jade fan under curiosity.
I play with my jade fan every day and look at it every day, what is there to study? Could it be that there is something wrong with the fan?
The man saw that she didn't say a word again, and he was unhappy now, "Miss Liuli, you said that we have known each other for a few days, you said that you didn't show up, and you didn't even give a sentence, if you weren't able to recite poems and songs, I really thought you were dumb." ”
"If it weren't for Chen Jinhua, the old bustard's mother, who promised Lao Tzu, that as long as he came here to sit for more than ten days, he would give Lao Tzu the prescription, and Lao Tzu wouldn't have come here to waste time every day, and be so bored like a fool......"
It turns out that the bustard's mother's name is Chen Jinhua, and her name is not the point, the point is what he means in the future?
After the man vented the frustration that had been blocked in his chest for the past few days, he looked at his forehead with a jade fan with a sigh of chagrin, knowing that he was talking too badly.
Tao Muqing saw that he got up in a panic to leave, and he didn't care about the bustard's mother's advice to put on a veil, so he immediately bounced up from the stool, walked out from behind the screen, and shouted, "Please stay!"
"Is that you?"
The man took a few steps closer in surprise, took advantage of Tao Muqing's panic to cover his face, looked at her carefully again, and then shook his head with a puzzled face.
"It's very similar to you, but it doesn't seem to be you. ”
Tao Muqing was already frightened when he heard what he said, and he barely held back his expression, and when he saw him suddenly approaching, he raised his hand and stretched out his forehead, and hurriedly covered his forehead in panic.
"Y-What do you want to do!"
Seeing that she was frightened, the man hurriedly withdrew his hand and explained: "Forgive me for being rude, I have no other intentions, but when I first saw the girl's face, I found that it was very similar to the woman in the painting, but there was a lack of a pattern on the forehead, so I forgot to measure it for a while." ”
Tao Muqing couldn't help but ask, "Did that woman commit a crime?"
"I don't know what happened, but not long ago a team of mysterious people secretly inquired about the whereabouts of this woman, and I was curious for a moment to peek at the portrait of the woman while they were not paying attention. ”
Who else in this world except Song Tianyu knew that he existed, but he didn't expect him to be so unrelenting!
Song Tianyu!
But fortunately, the bustard mother let Songhe cover the flowers for herself, so the reason why the bustard mother didn't let her go out of the building was actually a good intention?
Tao Muqing pondered.
"Glass girl?"
After he shouted, Tao Muqing came back to his senses and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I just listened to what Mr. said, thinking that I have been alone since I was a child, and I know that there are people in this world who are similar to me, so I will inevitably think a little too much." ”
Afraid that he would continue to ask, Tao Muqing changed the topic and asked, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of not knowing Your Excellency's name?"
"You don't know me?" the man looked at her again in surprise.
Tao Muqing shook his head with a smile and explained, "I first came to Beiyun City. ”
"That's it. The man didn't care about her loneliness, shook his fan and said proudly: "Then you should know about the four major jade refiners of Beiyun, right?"
"Okay, forget it, I'm a good person to the end, let's switch our roles today, I'll explain, you listen. ”
Seeing that he was at a loss, the man sighed dejectedly and invited himself to sit down with great interest and said: "Beiyun City, which has the reputation of the jade capital, is of course the most famous jade, and the famous people are the four major jade refiners and the two great jade connoisseurs of Beiyun. The four major jade refiners of Beiyun are led by the Wei Mansion Wei Lao Thief in the west of the mansion, and the other three mansions are Honglao Qihongding Mountain in the east of the city, Chang Tianheng in Luoyun Villa in the east of the city, and finally Zhu Rongguang of the Zhu Mansion in the south of the city. ”
Speaking of this, the man cleared his throat and continued: "And I am Zhu Rongguang!"
"You are a jade refiner!" Tao Muqing was overjoyed when he heard this, he was deeply interested when he heard Little Brother Wu mention it before, but he didn't expect that the person he recited for him every day was such a well-known figure, and he was also a jade refiner!
The master who is close at hand!
"It's like a fake!" Zhu Rongguang smiled proudly, "What, Miss Liuli is interested in this?"
"To tell you the truth, the little girl was deeply interested when she first heard about the jade refiner here, but she couldn't help but listen to one or two things. ”
As he spoke, Tao Muqing's gaze fell on the jade fan in his hand, which he often played with and studied, and at a glance he was sucked in by a force.
Tao Muqing was fascinated and exclaimed: "This jade fan is actually made of white jade, originally a pure white jade with a smooth body like an egg, this white jade is a rare thing." ”
"Not bad!"
The man did not hesitate to appreciate it in his heart, and explained: "This jade fan was accidentally discovered by me in Mount Luoluo, and it may have been buried in the soil for many years and dyed its color. ”
When she first found it, she thought it was just a broken fan and almost threw it, but she didn't expect to see it at a glance.
For talents, Zhu Rongguang is not stingy with his praise, "The glass girl can see at a glance that jade is a rare thing, it seems that you are very wise in jade." ”
As a reciter, of course, it is not surprising that he understands jade, Tao Muqing didn't feel anything, "I just know a little bit about it, although this white jade is a rare thing, it's a pity that the jade fan has cracks." "I wonder if the recitation can fix it?
When Tao Muqing thought about it, Zhu Rongguang sighed.
"If it's an ordinary crack, it's nothing at all as a sixth-order sect jade master, it's just that this jade fan is really strange, and for some reason I have tried many methods but I haven't been able to refine it. ”
"How is the sixth-order Sect Jade Master?
