Chapter 258: Magical Workmanship
Although Kong Chenglin's actions were powerful, Li Qiuyuan's treatment was as silent as night, even silent.
However, the struggle at this level of the Confucian family is often a kind of secret struggle, unless it is really a thunderous attack, it is basically impossible to cause any waves, after all, every move at this level can often affect some changes in the pattern of China.
Jiang Xu won't ask anything, because Li Qiuyuan is probably just one of the chess pieces, and the real struggle will not be placed on Li Qiuyuan's body, otherwise, with the things Li Qiuyuan did, I am afraid I don't know how many times I will die.
The real struggle is basically the alliance between the Liu family and Kong against the Su family and another bigwig-level family in the military.
When Jiang Xu left from Kong's house, it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon.
The treatment effect of Kong Lao and Kong Chengxuan is excellent, but if you want to be completely cured, it will take a while.
It was Kong Baiying who picked up Jiang Xu to come to Kong's house, and she was the one who sent Jiang Xu away.
In this regard, Kong Baiying not only did not have any impatience and dissatisfaction, but looked extremely serious, and almost regarded this matter as the supreme military mission.
In Kong Baiying's heart, Jiang Xu not only has great kindness to the Kong family, but also has great kindness to her.
If there is no Jiang Xu, my father Kong Chengxuan may not have a chance to stand up again in his life, let alone enter the military again, so Kong Baiying's heart almost regards Jiang Xu's every qiē as the most important thing, and every detail is meticulously implemented.
After leaving Zizhu Mountain, Jiang Xu did not let Kong Baiying send him back to Lingyun Mountain directly, but went to the largest jewelry market in Yanjing, Jade Fei City.
Jade Fei City is located in the most prosperous commercial section of Yanjing, which almost includes the world's top and well-known jewelry brands, and is the most desirable holy place for almost all women.
Jiang Xu originally wanted Kong Baiying to go back first, but Kong Baiying insisted on staying by Jiang Xu's side, obviously wanting to protect Jiang Xu until he sent Jiang Xu back to Lingyun Mountain.
Jiang Xu was not reluctant, and after the car was parked, he walked towards Yufei City with Kong Baiying.
accompanied by a guard next to Kong Lao, nicknamed Red Eagle, Jiang Xu went to Kong's house several times to pick up and drop off in person, and he was also one of Kong Lao's special drivers.
Red Eagle is wearing casual clothes, but Kong Baiying is wearing a straight military uniform, and her sassy heroic posture is definitely an extremely dazzling landscape.
There are countless jewel brands in Jade Fei City, Jiang Xu only walked less than a hundred steps, and his eyes were already locked on a jade franchise store called Ma Yuxuan, and then, he had already strode over.
"Sir, do you want to buy some jade, do you want to use it for yourself, or give it to a lady or elder?"
Only then did he walk into Ma Yuxuan, and immediately a shopping guide wearing professional women's clothes came over and asked Jiang Xu very enthusiastically.
Jiang Xu didn't look at the exquisitely carved jade, but asked, "I want to buy some Hetian jade seeds, do you have them here?" ”
Listening to what Jiang Xu said, the shopping guide's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, our Ma Yuxuan has just brought back a batch of Hetian jade seeds, some are top-level, and some are high-quality and ordinary, sir, do you need to take a look?" ”
The shopping guide has a share, and the more you sell, the more you sell.
As long as the quality of Hetian jade seeds is slightly better, the price is extremely high, as long as she sells some casually, she can get a good commission income.
"Take me to see it."
Jiang Xu nodded slightly, and then followed the shopping guide towards the inner room of the store.
This is a special display of jade materials, the exquisite glass cabinets, placed all kinds of jade, and one of the slightly larger glass cabinets, is displayed hundreds of different colors, different sizes of Hetian jade seeds.
Walking into the inner room, the shopping guide walked to a middle-aged man who was carefully carving jade, and then said very respectfully: "Master Huang, this guest wants to buy some Hetian jade seeds, please trouble." ”
"Got it."
The middle-aged man simply answered, put down the half-finished jade in his hand, and walked towards the counter where the Hetian jade seeds were placed.
While walking, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly looked at Kong Baiying, and a slight smile appeared on the originally strict face, and said, "Bai Ying, why are you here, do you want to buy Hetian jade seeds?" ”
Listening to what the middle-aged man said, Jiang Xu felt a little surprised, this middle-aged man named Master Huang and Kong Baiying knew each other, and it seemed that the relationship was not shallow.
"Uncle Huang, it's not me who wants to buy things, it's my friend." Kong Baiying pointed her finger at Jiang Xu and said with a smile, "Jiang Xu is my good friend, Uncle Huang, you remember to discount it." ”
"No problem, just choose what you like, I'll give you a fifty percent discount." The middle-aged man is also very bold, as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly folded it in half, and these jades are basically not cheap, as little as tens of thousands, and as many as hundreds of thousands or millions.
"Thank you, Uncle Huang." Kong Baiying thanked very politely.
Then, Kong Baiying introduced to Jiang Xu: "Jiang Xu, Uncle Huang is my father's friend and the owner of this Ma Yuxuan, by the way, Uncle Huang is also the most well-known carving master in Yanjing, and his carving skills are definitely among the top in the whole of China." ”
The middle-aged man's name is Huang Hui, who started as a carving, he doesn't like others to call him boss, and even his own employees call him Master Huang.
Jiang Xu didn't pick it right away, but said with a smile: "Bai Ying, I'll buy it at the original price, because I may buy a lot, if it's folded in half, then I'll go." ”
If you just choose one or two pieces, it may not be possible to fold them in half.
However, Jiang Xu wants to buy far more than this one or two pieces, in terms of the amount he wants to buy, I am afraid that this Huang Hui will lose at least a few million, after all, it is to open the door to do business, Jiang Xu does not want to take advantage of others.
Huang Hui didn't expect Jiang Xu to say this, a hint of appreciation suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then said: "Jiang Xu, even if you can pick it, these jade materials are all dug out of my own jade mine, even if it is sold to you at a fifty percentage, I will make a profit without losing money." ”
"Okay, then I'm welcome." Jiang Xu said with a smile, even if the other party said so, then he was no longer polite.
After sweeping his eyes roughly, Jiang Xu directly selected nearly two-thirds of the Hetian jade seed materials in the entire counter, the varieties are very rich, and the quality is basically above high quality, if all of them are added up, the price is definitely more than 10 million.
However, Huang Hui obviously did not take the money seriously.
In fact, Huang Hui's net worth is still very rich, Ma Yuxuan is a national chain jade brand, and he also has three jade mines in his hands, at least more than 10 billion in terms of net worth.
However, Huang Hui doesn't pay much attention to money, and he focuses more on the carving process. It seems that the purpose of his money is only to enable himself to study more advanced carving techniques.
"Master Huang, that's all, you can calculate how much money it is." As he spoke, Jiang Xu had already taken out a bank card.
Huang Hui didn't plan to calculate anything at all, but after glancing at it, he already said, "Don't count it, five million, it's almost this price." ”
On the side, the shopping guide was almost fainted with happiness.
She didn't expect Jiang Xu to be so generous, as soon as she made a move, it was five million, and she had a discount, but she only took a commission, I am afraid it would exceed her salary for a year.
"Okay."
Jiang Xu naturally didn't have any opinions, but directly handed the card to Huang Hui.
After swiping the card, Huang Hui asked the shopping guide to pack all the jade materials, and Jiang Xu took out a thumb-sized piece of sugar-white jade seed material from it, and then said to Huang Hui: "Master Huang, can you give me a carving knife." ”
Huang Hui didn't understand what Jiang Xu was going to do, but he still took out a complete set of knives and put them in front of Jiang Xu.
Kong Baiying also looked at Jiang Xu very curiously, and couldn't understand what Jiang Xu wanted to do.
Jiang Xu didn't explain anything, but took out a sharp carving knife from the knife box, and then began to carve on the jade seed material.
The carving knife seemed to have life in Jiang Xu's hands, extremely dexterous, and where the blade passed, round lines suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and gradually formed a portrait of Guanyin.
Looking at Jiang Xu's technique, Huang Hui's eyes were obviously getting wider and wider, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
In the way of carving, Huang Hui has been immersed in Yin for at least nearly 40 years, in this regard, he has always thought that he has reached the peak of the realm, and if he wants to improve again, it is difficult to climb to the sky.
Huang Hui doesn't value money, he still attaches great importance to his own craftsmanship, and he also has some conceit.
In his opinion, absolutely no one in Huaxia can surpass him in this regard, and his carving skills have always been respected as the first person in Huaxia.
But at this moment, after seeing Jiang Xu's carving techniques, Huang Hui knew that he was wrong.
In front of Jiang Xu's agile technique, his technique can almost be described as rough, and there is no comparison at all.
However, Huang Hui's face did not have any frustration, but more excitement and excitement, he was not afraid that he could not compare with others, but was afraid that he would not see more exquisite carving technology.
If this is the case, then I am afraid that he will no longer have any pursuit in this life.
At this moment, Jiang Xu's technique made Huang Hui's heart suddenly full of new pursuits, to pursue a higher level of carving.
Jiang Xu didn't pay attention to Huang Hui's changes at the moment, he didn't know that the carving technique he inadvertently displayed at this moment allowed Huang Hui to make a huge breakthrough in the carving process again after just a few years, and carved a lot of rare jade treasures in a row.
Of course, this is already a few years later.
And when Jiang Xu put down the waste knife in his hand, a delicate Guanyin jade plate had already appeared in front of everyone, and there was no need to repair the light or anything, just blow away the jade shavings, and the jade color of the jade plate was already presented.
"It's beautiful."
Looking at the lifelike Guanyin jade plaque, Kong Baiying couldn't help but snort lightly, and her beautiful eyes revealed a little love.
"It's not just beautiful, this technique can already be described as a magic workmanship, this Guanyin jade plaque can be called a masterpiece." Huang Hui barely skimped any words of praise, and his tone was full of amazement.
Jiang Xu just smiled briefly, directly diverted the topic, and asked, "Master Huang, when you get up every day, do you have a tingling sensation like a pinprick in your brain?" ”
Huang Hui was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked a little incredulously, "Jiang Xu, how do you know?" ”
It is true that every day when he gets up, he has a very painful pinprick sensation in his brain, and it has been many years, Huang Hui does not know how many doctors he has seen, but it has never worked.
It's just that he has this headache, and very few people will know why the young man in front of him can say it.
"Master Huang, this jade plaque should be regarded as my borrowing of flowers to offer to the Buddha, you hang this jade plaque on your chest, at most three days, I think your headache will disappear." As he spoke, Jiang Xu handed the jade plate in his hand to Huang Hui.
With Jiang Xu's eyes, it only takes a glance to see if there is something wrong with Huang Hui's body, but Huang Hui's headache is a bit unusual, and it is a kind of soul damage.
Soul damage is usually caused by fright, some people will slowly recover, but some people will not recover, and thus fall into some diseases that cannot be cured by medical techniques.
Jiang Xu didn't intend to let Huang Hui spend millions for no reason, so he carved such a jade plaque and gave it to Huang Hui.
Within this jade plate, Jiang Xu has stored pure soul energy.
Soul energy is undoubtedly the best tonic for repairing the soul, as Jiang Xu said, as long as Huang Hui wears this jade plate for a few days, the headache can be solved lightly.
Ever since he discovered that pearls can store soul energy, Jiang Xu has been looking for a second thing that can store soul energy, and jade is the second container that can store soul energy.
Moreover, the capacity of jade is larger than that of pearls, and more than that, no matter how much soul energy is stored, the surface of jade will not change in any way.
And Jiang Xu came to buy jade this time because of this characteristic of jade.
Tomorrow is Old Man Liu's birthday, Jiang Xu plans to help his father give Old Man Liu some special gifts, and that gift is these jade materials-
