Chapter 443: Water Spirit

"I thought Yu Operator was qualified to participate in the ceremony."

Yu Shu was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways at Jing Chen, who had just spoken, but saw that he was looking at the scroll of the Taoist Sutra in his hand without raising his head, as if hearing that sound was her illusion.

Jingchen would help Yu Shu speak, which was probably not surprising to anyone present except for Yu Shu himself.

It's just that Han Wenguang's influence is even greater than Yu Shu imagined, and half of the eighteen academicians did not approve of her participating in the Holy Ancestor Day Ceremony, even if Jing Chen's voice was added, it failed to reverse the situation.

In Mrs. Lu's beautiful eyes with hidden anger, Academician Shangguan could only regretfully announce that Fang Zijing and they needed to recommend another candidate as soon as possible.

"Fourth-class female operators can be buried, Taishi Shuyuan is really a year overshadowing!"

Mrs. Lu dropped a sneer, brushed her sleeves away, and when she passed by Yu Shu, she didn't say anything, only raised her hand and stroked her shoulder lightly, and then passed by.

Yu Shu, who felt that she was "comforted", was in a delicate mood, turned her head to look at Mrs. Lu's distant back, and secretly wondered if she should find a time to meet this strong woman.

Mrs. Lu's words when she left provoked some old people in Taishi Library, and some people immediately shouted dissatisfiedly:

"Only women and villains are difficult to raise!"

Yu Shu looked back and saw a few angry old faces, and suddenly felt a lot more refreshed, after watching this play, he immediately raised his hand to Fang Zijing and offered to retire:

"Academician Fang, there's nothing to do with me here, the students are one step ahead."

Fang Zijing has been looking at her quietly, and after seeing her lose the election, she can still maintain a degree of advance and retreat, her eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded:

"There you go."

Before Yu Shu left, he only looked at the two people present quietly, one was Jingchen and the other was Han Wenguang.

Jingchen's eyes never left the scriptures from beginning to end, and this distraction-free appearance made Yu Shu suspect that he was just on a whim and would help her say that sentence, so he didn't go to his heart.

What made her pay attention was that Han Wenguang, the old guy, was overjoyed and angry, and he didn't show the slightest pride because he had stumbled on her, obviously not taking her in his eyes.

In this regard, Yu Shu is not too angry, she knows that she is not qualified to argue with such a treacherous and cunning character now, so she has to secretly write down this account, and sooner or later wait for the opportunity to retaliate again.

Hmph, isn't it just to accompany the emperor Lao Tzu to worship the grave, if you don't go, you won't go, when she is rare!

Coming out of the Taishi Academy, the sun was already high, Yu Shu counted the time Xue Rui entered the palace, and he could only come back in the afternoon, so he was not in a hurry to return to the forgetting machine building, but asked Lao Cui to drive the carriage and find the Chengdong Taiheng Business Association to go to Pei Jing's territory.

Da'an Dynasty encourages people's livelihood, not cheap industry and commerce, commerce in the capital is more developed, seven lines and eight will sell south and north, all have a general number in Anling, among them, Taiheng Business Association is not a time-honored brand, but it is a one that has risen in recent years.

Pei Jing was promoted to the general number of Anling City as the deputy manager last year, because of his proximity to Zhao Hui's family, Yu Shu would often hear a little about the market from him, and he also knew that Pei Jing had a lot of authority in his hands, and she could ask him about some things that could not be bought outside.

Yu Shu didn't say hello to Pei Jing before he came, but fortunately, at the end of the month, the merchants would meet the accounts, and Pei Jing stayed in the hall during the day, and did not go to the shops below to inspect the goods, nor did he go to the warehouse to collect and inspect the goods.

Pei Jing was upstairs with a few bookkeepers in the general ledger, heard the guy come up to pass the word, a few words, then went downstairs, in the tea room of the reception, saw Yu Shu, while calling the guy to replace the pu tea on the table with the good tea he collected the day before, while smiling and greeting her.

"Is the sun coming out in the west, you girl don't see me all day long, why do you have time to come here to find me?" Pei Jing teased Yu Shu twice, but he was really surprised.

"I have something to ask my uncle," Yu Shu directly explained his intentions, "I want to find a few things, it's not easy to buy outside, or it's shoddy, see if you can help me find a way." ”

This "uncle" is not called in vain, since Zhao Hui officially recognized Yu Shu as a righteous daughter, Pei Jing also regarded her as half a daughter, because of the convenience of the two sisters, there is no less food and fun for the sisters and brothers on weekdays, and now Yu Shu opened his mouth to ask for it, and he responded unambiguously at all.

"You just have to say, but anything with a name, I can find a way to find it for you."

Yu Shu regarded Pei Jing as an elder, so he didn't say anything polite to him, and immediately took out a copper coin-sized and glittering spar from his purse, handed it to him, and asked:

"Does my uncle recognize this?"

Pei Jing rubbed it in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said: "This is a carved and polished water spirit stone, there are no eye holes on it, I think it is used for inlay." ”

Yu Shu's face was overjoyed when she heard this, Pei Jing guessed well, this piece of citrine was cut off from a beautiful brocade box from a gift from the Nine Emperor Princes.

The ancients loved jade, and often used jade to ward off evil spirits, used it to raise people, and wore it with them. However, few people at the time knew this crystal, I don't know that compared to jade, all kinds of crystals are also the best choice for fiddling with feng shui, and the crystal color is bright, the texture is transparent, and it is used as a decorative thing, which is no better.

She saw a lot of feng shui utensils on the "Treasure Book", all of which were carved from jade and jade, a small bracelet, it was necessary to use eighteen Hetian jade beads, which cost a lot of money, Yu Shu saw the same bracelet in the Xin family Dayi Museum, all of which were made of beautiful jade carving, and painted the scoop in the same way, but picking up people's teeth and wisdom, she thought of making a fuss about the raw materials, and if it really happened, she had her own way to get money.

Pei Jing didn't know Yu Shuda's abacus, weighed the citrine, and said with a smile: "This water essence, it's just good-looking, but there are also rich and noble people who use it to decorate jewelry, but it is not as good as jade that can stand up to pondering, it is useless, and the origin is far away, so there is no circulation on the market." ”

When Yu Shu heard him say this, he was happy and sad, happy that no one knew the goods, and worried that this thing was not easy to find.

Before she had time to be disappointed by the empty abacus, Pei Jing's next words made her energetic-

"I know a maritime merchant who seems to have this kind of water spirit in his hand, and it just so happens that he is in the capital, if you want this thing, I'll ask."

"Okay, you can help me ask," Yu Shuxi looked at Pei Jing and did not hide his desire, "It's better to have ready-made, how much there is, how much I want, uh, as long as the price is not too outrageous." ”

Pei Jing waved his hand and gave her a dose of reassurance: "I forgot what line your uncle is from, I won't ask you to suffer a loss, go back and wait for news." ”

Yu Shu was happy in his heart, held a cup of tea and brought it to Pei Jing, and said embarrassedly: "There is one more thing that is difficult to find." ”

"But it's up to you."

"I'm looking for a hundred-year-old piece of mahogany." (To be continued.)
