8. The Jade Girl (II)
"Master said that Madame Jade would definitely do it; He said, as long as I can see Madame Jade, this thing will be settled. β
"Old liar? He never told the truth, huh! Although Shenshixuan is not a big sect, we also have our own rules; The first is that those who make jade must have a jade ice heart, and do not deceive the world with fake jade; The second is that at the beginning of jade, the first thing to do is to establish jade, and do not do things that deceive people in the dark room. Zhu Tong, the reason why our Shenshi Xuan has maintained a thousand years is to take the jade mirror heart and respect the jade as a god. Maybe he will suffer a loss for a while, and maybe he will do something out of place, but no matter how the world changes, Shen Shixuan will not go with the flow. β
Mrs. Yu was right, and Zhu Tong knew that the old liar didn't know about Shen Shixuan at all, and he didn't understand Mrs. Yu.
But there seems to be a loophole in this rule.
Zhu Tong's brain turned quickly, and he immediately said: "I didn't let you make fake jade, I want real jade." β
"True jade? You are going to use it to deceive people. β
"It's not right for my predecessors to say that." Zhu Tong took a piece of miscellaneous jade from his feet and compared it with Mrs. Yu's jade cup: "What does Shenshi Xuan rely on?" It's just jade. But can you tell how much difference they have? Which one is how much noble? It's all just stones. It's just that the jade people impose their beliefs on the world, and who knows how much these stones should be worth? There is a saying, the troubled times gold prosperous antiques. It can be seen that jade was originally worthless. Can you say that the jade dealers are not deceiving people by speculating jade at sky-high prices? β
"Say whatever you want." Compared with messing around, Madame Yu is no match for a little liar, and she sits there with a huff and doesn't speak.
In order for any sect to survive, whether it is reasonable or not, it must have a spiritual carrier, which is the core of maintaining the unity of people's hearts.
The carrier of orchids is the quiet orchid belief of mutual assistance and mutual love, and the spiritual sustenance of Shenshixuan is the spirit of Leiluo jade; It may be really difficult to let them fake for themselves.
"Senior, I really didn't want you to fake, what I need is indeed the real ancient jade." Zhu Tong immediately changed his description and took out a few hazy poems written by the old liar: "I know you are very embarrassed, but I don't want much, just three jade seals, engraved with these few poems, it looks like an ancient seal." β
"That's still a fake, ancient jade is spiritual, and the hard work of the jade people ......"
Mrs. Yu still did not agree, but instilled the essence of jade culture in Zhutong seriously.
In this way, the little crook drank wine and received more than an hour of training, and the harvest was certainly not small; However, what he needed now was not the knowledge that the master of Shenshi Xuan had poured into, it was the jade seal.
"My master said that with this jade fan pendant, I can ask you to do anything." Zhu Tong waited for Mrs. Yu to say that she was tired, and pointed to the fan pendant.
Due to its suitable climate and few disasters, the Nanyang Basin has always been the granary of the Central Plains; There are fewer disasters in history, and the folk customs are still relatively pure. Mrs. Yu saw that Zhu Tong was really drinking, and she was also serious when she listened, thinking that she had persuaded him, and when she saw the morning glory fan pendant, she knew that Zhu Tong was not dead, and her face showed an angry look.
"What do you want? It is impossible for us to deceive you by deceiving people. β
"The seniors misunderstood." Zhu Tong was afraid of breaking the line, so he hurriedly poured a glass of wine for him.
"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years; I now know that Shenshixuan has such deep cultural roots; Senior, I want to know, why did Shen Shixuan withdraw from the Eight Sects of Jianghu? What happened at that drinking party? β
Mrs. Yu didn't expect that Zhu Tong would make such a request, her face softened, and she turned around and shouted, "It's not early, I'll take the guests out for a walk, and you open the door to do business." β
"Okay, boss, don't worry." Shi Chen walked down from the upper floor, opened the door and let them out, and secretly kicked Zhu Tong, and he didn't know what it meant.
It's been another busy day at the Stone Buddha Temple, the air is filled with the smell of stone powder, the noise of machinery comes from every shop on the street, and the guys who are doing business are sweeping the open space in front of the door with brooms and sprinkling water.
People kept saying hello to Mrs. Yu, and Zhu Tong knew that his surname was Shi, and everyone called him Boss Shi.
A boss called Mrs. Yu into his shop and took out a piece of jade for him to taste.
"Good jade, carved jade Guanyin, can sell this number." Madame Jade held out two fingers.
"Boss Shi is too conservative, Jade Guanyin is not worth much now, I want to carve away from evil beasts, at least this number. There was a boss who decided that he was going to hang in the car; People drive Mercedes-Benz, good cars. Boss Shi helped to take a closer look, where to cut the knife is more economical, and I also want to make a few small pendants to make some wine money. The other man held out five fingers.
"It's good, it's good to avoid evil spirits, and save materials."
Mrs. Yu walked out of the store, bowed her head in the corner of the wall, and said: "Some people dare to do anything for money, and they don't plan to ask for face at all." β
"It's very good, the idea of avoiding evil is good, and it is more sought-after."
"You are a layman who doesn't understand, jade to ward off evil is a spiritual weapon, for the dead. He is an expert, and it is very immoral to do so. β
"The Mercedes-Benz car is indeed more immoral, and it does not necessarily die faster; Nowadays, there are not many people who pay attention to these jade cultures, and even fewer people understand them. You don't deserve to be angry about this. β
Zhu Tong persuaded Mrs. Yu and walked two streets, and had roughly estimated that Mrs. Yu was hiding her skills. In such a huge market as the Stone Buddha Temple, Shen Shixuan did not have a big situation at all.
On the street, there are often trucks driving by, pulling huge pieces of stones.
Madame Jade would sometimes stop a car, go up and flip it, knock it on.
At this time, the owners of the nearby shops would gather around the car, and the owner of the car was also proud, as if it was a very glorious thing for the jade to be looked at by the old man.
"Hehe, the boys are doing well, yesterday the Sun family on East Street only got a truckload of material from Brazil, my old man is getting more and more relieved, you rabbit cubs will sooner or later get all the white stones from all over the world back to play."
The old man patted the owner on the shoulder: "I want this car, give me the door before unloading it, and come back to say the price." β
"Okay." The owner of the goods went with joy.
Turning out of the town, and walking on the dirt road leading to Liujiaying, there were fewer pedestrians, and Mrs. Yu changed her expression.
"Now that good jade is getting harder and harder to find, the boys began to look for jade from outside, and this car was obtained from Lao Russia; Yes, although it is not as good as Kunlun jade, it is not bad, and it can make a piece of artifact. β
"Old Russian?"
"Russia, there are special people in our Shifo Temple who are looking for jade outside, and they are running around in West Asia and East Asia. Now, the transportation is convenient, planes and trains are available everywhere, and it doesn't take a few days to run to the edge of the sky; Our predecessors only complained at that time, they walked the world on their legs, and it took a few years to go out to find jade, and some went out for more than ten years and came back, but they found nothing. β
"Shen Shixuan withdrew from Jianghu Dao at the beginning, for this is also the reason; On that occasion, the jade seekers of Shenshixuan found a piece of jade material in southern Xinjiang and transported it with the help of a four-pinnishing boat. The four poinsettias actually deducted the jade material and asked our predecessors to carve a statue of the god of fire for them, and with their deeds, they are also worthy! The Taoist Sect didn't understand the reason, but the Golden Buddha knew it but also helped them speak, that is, the red fire people at that time were powerful and controlled the Jianghu Cao Gang, but how could Shen Shixuan be affected by their idleness? β
"The jade knife broke the yin and yang cards, and the ice smashed the Bodhi beads. What does that mean? β
Zhu Tong flattered Mrs. Jade and recited the verses that the old liar confessed before leaving; It is said that these two sentences are to describe the drinking party in the rivers and lakes, which have been circulated in the rivers and lakes for a hundred years, but few people believe it.
Yin and Yang cards, jade Bodhi beads are two artifacts, it is said that the Yin and Yang cards of the Taoist sect master were cut off by the jade knife, and the Bodhi beads of the head of the Golden Buddha were also frozen and broken by the magic of the jade girl.
These two sentences are too exaggerated, Shen Shixuan's jade sword is not so powerful. The Jade Girl just taught them a lesson with the Jade Ice Technique, and Shen Shixuan would not do anything bad with a bad artifact. β
Mrs. Yu clasped her hands in her sleeves, walked with vain steps, and looked like an old man in the township: "The jade girl is not used to seeing the rivers and lakes degenerate day by day, and in order to fight for power and profit, they fight with each other endlessly; Especially the four pins are prosperous, pretending to be the power of the government, the fox and the tiger are pretending, and it seems that the eight factions of the rivers and lakes are trampled under their feet, and Shen Shixuan is not ashamed to be with such a sect, so he withdrew from the rivers and lakes. β
Zhu Tong didn't know anything about the background of that period of history, and when he thought about it, it was the most glorious period of the four poinsettias. During the period of cold weapons, he was in charge of the Cao Gang, with a large number of people and a large territory, and he was indeed majestic.
"The predecessor of the jade girl is really a heroine among women, and she has seen people and dares to act. The current Jianghu Dao is not much better, and Shen Shixuan is good at withdrawing. β
Zhu Tong praised with his fingers, and the wrinkles on the old man's face smiled and smiled, leading Zhu Tong into Liujiaying, and pushed open the door of a small courtyard, there was a simple small building in the courtyard, the kind common in the countryside of southern Henan. Such small buildings can be seen everywhere in Liu's camp, the people in the village are doing jade business, and the wealthy people have built more luxurious high-rise buildings, and the small buildings of Mrs. Yu's house are very ordinary, only the courtyard is larger.
The yard is no different from an ordinary farmhouse courtyard, except that there are no chickens, ducks and birds, there is a pigeon shed on the roof, and the ground is paved with green bricks for a winding path, which looks more tidy.
There is a pomegranate tree in front of the west window, more than a dozen green bamboos on the east side, and a huge grape trellis in the middle of the yard; On summer and autumn nights, it must be a good place to cool off.
"Old woman, you're here, make tea."
"Whose son-in-law can make the old lady happy like this?"
There is a half-aged in the house, although she is also an ordinary dress, her facial skin is as beautiful as jade, and it can be seen that she must have been a beauty when she was young. Zhu Tong couldn't believe that in such a remote place, there would be such a magical character.
"This is the son of the Zhu family, the one that our junior came back to talk about last time."
"A lone wolf with a thousand faces, Zhu Tong?"
"This time, people are taking your love token to collect debts."
Mrs. Yu spoke sourly, and Zhu Tong was amused in her heart, the mutton fat jade fan pendant was given to the old liar by the woman in front of her.
"Chewing my tongue again, I haven't been out of this yard for twenty years, you still say? I'm not afraid of Zhu Gongzi's jokes. β
Mrs. Yu smiled, handed over the fan pendant, and said in a low voice: "Jokes and jokes are harmless, and the old woman is also worth being angry?" β
Only then did the woman reply with disgust, pushed Mrs. Yu away, and looked Zhu Tong up and down: "Sure enough, good talent,, who gave the child such an ugly name?" β
It was Mrs. Jade who poured the tea.
The woman pulled Zhu Tong to sit under the grape trellis, and held the jade fan pendant tightly in her hand. These hands are crystal white, like mutton fat nephrite.
Ten minutes later, Zhu Tong realized that it turned out that the head of the house in Shenshixuan was also a woman, and the woman was the contemporary jade girl, the real head of Shenshixuan.
Mrs. Jade is just the husband of the Jade Girl in the eyes of ordinary people, holding up the faΓ§ade outside.
"Lan Gongzi is okay?"
When the jade girl asked, it took a long time for the little liar to react, and the so-called Lan Gongzi was his master.
The old liar must have had a relationship with the Jade Girl, and perhaps, he has a good chance to become the Jade Lady.
From the position where Zhu Tong sits, you can see a word hanging in the hall: slender hand ice, Yingying jade beauty; Zhao River clear water waves, flying hooves lightly; Therefore, pay attention to the jade pendant, and always be led by the lover.
That's exactly what the old crook was doing. The fact that this character can hang here for decades proves that Madame Yu's status in the family is not very high.
The mutton fat jade fan pendant is carved with a morning glory.
