Qingcheng saw Xu Jin's fingers tapping on the table and pondering, so he said tentatively: "The city lord is worried about Mrs. An? ”

"Has the An clan been in contact with the Qin Wangfu recently?"

Xu Jin didn't answer, but asked another question, Qingcheng reacted, and Zhengse whispered, "Yes." But the letters we intercepted were all inconsequential content. Mrs. Ann has been lying dormant by your side for so long, and she has not handed out a single useful message. ”

"Carefully prepared a beauty, it took five years to travel from Chang'an to Jiangcheng before putting it by my side, the intention is unknown, the act is disorderly, if she goes to the palace, I am afraid that something will happen."

Xu Jin said in a deep voice.

In his eyes, although Shen Yan is a little smart, he is still too simple compared to these people who add blood to the tip of the knife to make a living.

What's more, Shen Yan and An Niang have a grudge against robbery, and he will throw this gunpowder out, but at least not now.

Two hours later, Su Qingqing arrived at the study.

After washing, he changed into clean clothes, a dark gray narrow-sleeved robe, soap boots, and although his hair was still tied with a coarse cloth, it was much better than before.

At least there is no strange and unpleasant smell.

Hongxiu stood behind Xu Jin and secretly poked at Qingcheng to make a look, saying that she was aggrieved and helpless, which made Qingcheng smile helplessly.

"City Lord, this is the glazed stone."

Su Qingqing half-sat on the mat and munched on melon seeds, and quickly pulled down a leather pocket pinned to his waist and threw it in Xu Jin's hand.

Boom, dull and short.

Xu Jin took it and opened it, and poured out the contents of his pocket, which was a table of glazed stones, gathered together to refract a bright light.

These glazed stones are all finely carved by Su Qingqing, and the more faceted facets, the more brilliant they are.

"Not bad."

Xu Jin casually took one and put it between his fingers to look at it carefully, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, after inspecting the goods, Qingcheng put the glazed stones back into his leather pocket in turn.

After receiving Xu Jin's praise, Su Qingqing was obviously in a good mood.

"The polishing and facet carving of these glazed stones are all carefully worked out by me. It's just that no matter how meticulous it is, it won't be as meticulous as the city lord. ”

Su Qingqing was talking about the one on Xu Jin's hairpin.

It took him three years to polish the hundreds of tiny facets of that crystal, which could be regarded as Su Qingqing's vote to the Cardinal Pavilion.

Xu Jin received the nomination of this crystal at that time, and immediately included Su Qingqing in the cardinal pavilion and treated him as a master.

In order to show its difference, Su Qingqing specially made a long hairpin, and the hairpin tail was decorated with this crystal.

"I trust your skills."

Hearing Xu Jin's affirmation, Su Qingqing half-spread out on the seat, and asked seriously while munching on melon seeds: "The city lord is in such a hurry to find me, why is it that he is in such a hurry?" ”

"I want you to make a set of heads."

On the head is the woman's entire set of jewelry.

Su Qingqing picked up the melon seeds in his hand, sat up straight with wide eyes, and said, "I heard the news on the way, saying that the city lord is about to marry Kang and Emperor Ji, that is a powerful master, but unfortunately he is sick and weak, and his life is thin." ”

Qingcheng couldn't help but cough lightly twice at his increasingly exaggerated expression, and his eyes prompted.

In front of the city lord, so the future city lord's wife, is her skin tight?

Su Qingqing reacted no matter how nervous she was, and said with some embarrassment: "City Lord, I, that, I didn't mean that, you and Emperor Ji are a match made in heaven!" She marries you, and that blessing is profound. With a husband like the city lord, the emperor will definitely live a long life. ”

The more he talked, the more empty he became.

"Eat and live in the house, and make all your glazed stones into head jewelry. Most importantly, make a long hairpin. ”

The long hairpin is the kind between Xu Jin's hair.

Su Qingqing was stunned, pointed to the leather pocket, and said in pain: "City Lord, we have to make it clear......"

"Three thousand taels of gold."

Xu Jin interrupted him and said coldly.

Qingcheng's legs were weak, and he held on to the wall suddenly, for fear of being scared to death by his master. Three thousand taels of gold is not a small amount!

Hongxiu secretly said in her heart, the city lord is really a bold person.

Even though they have known each other for many years, Su Qingqing was also frightened by Xu Jin's sudden arrogance, and after being entangled for a long time, he still sighed and said, "The glass crystal in this leather pocket is the result of my many years. Even if you give me more money, I won't give it all to you. ”

He has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, even digging and carving, just like this glass crystal, very precious.

Xu Jin thought about it, tapped his fingers on the table, and said very seriously: "Then you use half of the glazed stone, or 3,000 gold, and give you two jars of Yulouchun that have been aged for 60 years." ”

When he heard the sixty-year-old Yulou Spring, Su Qingqing's eyes couldn't help but widen.

Xu Jin has a lot of good wine, but it was the first time he knew that Xu Jin still had Yulou Chun, which had been aged for 60 years, and this wine had always been a priceless treasure in the market.

If he can give up his baby Yulouchun, then Su Qingqing has nothing to be reluctant to.

Twisting is not the posture that Su Qingqing should have.

"To be so valued by the city lord, I think that the future city lord's wife must be a beautiful and kind-hearted person. It's a blessing to be able to create jewelry for such a woman. ”

Su Qingqing kept half of his glazed stone, and he also got fine wine, and his heart was happy.

Xu Jin said coldly at this time.

"You have twenty days left. Twenty days later, it will be given to her at the time of the wedding. The next few days, hard work. ”

Sure enough, Xu Jin's advantage is not so easy to take advantage of.

However, he had already agreed, Su Qingqing had to smile bitterly and said: "Walking the rivers and lakes is a word of sincerity, the city lord can rest assured, since I have agreed, I will definitely do it." ”

After settling Su Qingqing, Xu Jin could be regarded as letting go of one thing in his heart.

In the evening, Xu Jin and Su Qingqing drank drunk in the warm pavilion in the backyard of Xu's mansion.

The moonlight is like water, just like the past.

Su Qingqing pulled Xu Jin's sleeve and talked about his knowledge in the Western Regions, talking about the wine over there, the blonde dancing girl over there, and the crescent moon spring over there.

"Blonde, blonde, apart from Westerners and Hu people, is there any other way to make people's hair yellow?"

Xu Jin thought of Shen Yan's original yellow curls, and whispered, drinking all the wine in the cup.

Su Qingqing was already drunk, pointed to the moon and said, "There is a kind of grass outside the Western Regions, mashed, which can dye people's hair yellow, mostly for disappearance. There is also an iron plier that can turn straight hair into a curl! ”

"You're right!"

Xu Jin smiled faintly, clinked glasses with him, and drank it all with a smile.

Mrs. An knew that he had drunk wine, so she ordered the kitchen to boil the decanting soup in advance, and when she walked to the warm pavilion, she saw Xu Jin dancing a sword under the moon.

Xu Jin, who had drunk wine, was a little drunk on his face, his calm eyes in the past were like spring flowers blooming, tender, his steps were calm, and the sword flower was quickly pulled out, leaving a few afterimages in the void between turning around and dodging.

The moonlight is thick, and the gentleman's sword is aura.

"City Lord, Mrs. An is coming to you, hehe, I'll go first."

Su Qingqing was originally drunk, but as soon as she saw Mrs. An, she stood up excitedly, threw an ambiguous look at Xu Jin, and then staggered away.

Xu Jin put away the sword behind him, looked at her and said coldly: "What are you doing?" ”
