Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Chance Encounter in a Jade Shop
So, on the morning of the second day, Wang Dong appeared in the west of Jinyang City.
Last night, he got the inspiration to design a "trademark" by himself, and now he needs to ask the master who carved the seal to carve out the "trademark" he designed, and then he can use the seal on the signboard made by the lady of the Zhang family to leave a unique mark.
The advantage of using seals is that it can reduce the burden of the Zhang family lady and others.
After inquiring about the place where the seal was carved, Wang Dong appeared in the west of the city early in the morning.
"Wow, this city looks much more magnificent than the east of the city." Between the shops, Wang Dong couldn't help but sigh.
Compared with the east of the city, the west of Jinyang City, there are more luxury shops, jade shops, antique shops, gold and silver jewelry shops, large restaurants can be seen everywhere, people in and out, each dressed brightly, either rich or expensive.
"Yuelai Restaurant?" Wang Dong stood in front of a luxurious restaurant and muttered, "This name is so familiar." ”
Wang Dong's eyes looked into the restaurant. Because it was morning, there were only a few sparse guests in this Yuelai restaurant, looking at the restaurant maids who were responsible for cleaning, Wang Dong felt a little familiar.
"I remember, this Yuelai Restaurant is also the property of the Wang family." The dress of those little servants is very similar to that of the servants of the royal family, and in his memory, Wang Dong also remembered that day he was kicked out of the mansion, and among the many properties that Wang Funan chose from the seven dukes, there was a restaurant in the west of the city.
Looking at the three-storey, very magnificent restaurant, Wang Dong was puzzled: "Since the Wang family already has such a magnificent restaurant, why is Wang Funan so concerned about the wine shop outside the east of the city?" ”
Shaking his head, he couldn't figure out the plans of these rich and noble people: "It's still important to do the right thing." ”
As soon as he turned around, diagonally opposite Yuelai Restaurant, there was a jade shop, Wang Dong walked in without thinking.
Seals, made of jade, metal, wood, stone, etc., jade has a very high status in China since ancient times, and the price is naturally expensive, but Wang Dong carved seals, but he didn't want to use those precious materials, ordinary jade.
In the early morning, there were no customers in the jade shop, and it seemed very deserted.
Wang Dong entered the store, and the owner of the jade shop was lying on the table carving something. Wang Dong didn't bother, and watched the various jades in the store by himself, colorful and different.
Wang Dong's understanding of jade is almost zero, even if someone sues him for a fake piece, he can't tell the difference, but these colorful stones, in the eyes, are indeed a little spectacular, small stones, but also have such a big charm.
"This Lang Jun, what do you need?" The shopkeeper finally noticed Wang Dong.
Wang Dong walked over with a smile and saw that there was a piece of white jade under his hand, and there were various styles of carving knives on the side, obviously carving something.
Wang Dong smiled: "Shopkeeper, can you carve seals here?" ”
"Seals? Of course. The shopkeeper pointed to a cabinet on the side, "Objectively, please see, there are hibiscus stones, sealed door greens, and bloodstones here, all of which are high-quality jade, both ......."
"No, no, no, shop, I don't need such a precious stone, ordinary jade, it's fine," Wang Dong thought for a moment and said, "About, three inches square." ”
The shopkeeper, when he heard that Wang Dong only needed ordinary jade, his enthusiasm suddenly decreased a lot, pointed to a cabinet in a remote corner on the side, and said: "The jade over there is much cheaper, it is Qingtian stone from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you can choose it yourself." ”
Following the direction of the shopkeeper's finger, Wang Dong came to the cupboard and found that there were indeed a few pieces of cyan jade in it. Compared with other jade in the store, these dozen pieces of Qingtian stone are not as bright and bright as other jade in terms of luster, and the texture is fine, greasy, warm and moist is also a grade, and the only advantage is that it is cheap.
"Shopkeeper, what's this called?"
"Qingtian stone."
"Oh," Wang Dong nodded, and continued to ask, "This Qingtian stone, made into a seal, won't be broken when touched?" ”
"It's not made of turnips, where is it so fragile." The shopkeeper seemed to be impatient, and he seemed a little impatient with Wang Dong, who was asking questions.
Who let Wang Dong know nothing about these things, for fear that he chose the wrong material and would not be useful.
"Well, shopkeeper, I want to ask ......"
"Store, the jade bracelet I ordered, has it arrived?" Suddenly, a man's voice came.
The shopkeeper seemed to be excited all of a sudden, and actually walked out of the counter to greet him: "What Wang Lang wants, how dare the small shop be lazy, please inside, please inside." ”
Wang Dong seemed to be completely ignored, but he didn't care.
"Emerald bracelet?" Wang Dong recalled, "Jade seems to be very valuable, which family's son-in-law is so generous?" Curious, Wang Dong looked in the direction of the store, and saw the store welcoming the two inside.
"Is that them?" When he saw the face of the person who came, Wang Dong couldn't help but be stunned.
These two people are none other than Wang Funan's children, the second child of the Wang family and the sixth lady of the Wang family who almost cut Wang Dong that day - Wang Mengting.
The second child of the Wang family, Wang Dong has never seen it, but between his eyebrows, there is a bit of similarity with Wang Mengting, plus what Liu Er once said to him, these two should be the children born to one of Wang Funan's three concubines.
Wang Dong recognized Wang Mengting, but Wang Mengting didn't recognize him.
"Where's my jade bracelet, take it out quickly and let me see it." Wang Mengting said anxiously.
"Sixth sister, don't worry, it can't fly."
Wang Mengting said: "People are in a hurry. ”
"Hahaha, are you in a hurry to ask for a bracelet? Are you still in a hurry to get married? The second child of the Wang family, laughed loudly, and Wang Mengting suddenly blushed her cheeks.
"You're laughing at me again!" Wang Mengting didn't follow, hiding her little feet, and said angrily.
"Okay, okay, I won't make fun of you," the second elder of the Wang family stopped laughing and said, "In a few days, it will be the Begging Festival, the sixth sister should hurry up, don't learn from the third, you can't marry now." ”
"Humph! I won't be like her," Wang Mengting said arrogantly, "On the Begging Festival, I will definitely find a wishful husband!" ”
"Wang Lang, the jade bracelet you ordered." The shopkeeper pulls out a small wooden box from behind him.
Wang Mengting couldn't wait to open the wooden box, and the moment the wooden box was opened, Wang Dong only felt a bright green light, which suddenly came into his eyes. A warm and delicate bracelet shining with turquoise light has appeared on Wang Mengting's wrist as tender as white jade. Against each other's backdrop, it's extraordinarily good-looking.
"This jade jade bracelet is worn on Liuniang's hand, and it really complements each other, and the charm is unparalleled." The store also praised it at the right time.
"Yes, Sixth Sister, with this jade bracelet, you will definitely be able to find Ruyi Langjun this year."
