CHAPTER XIV
This student is tall and magnificent, although he wears the uniform costume of the students of Guozijian, but the jade jade Buddha hanging around his waist is worth a lot of money.
I saw him roll his eyes indifferently, and said proudly: "I can't see the desk clearly, and besides, he volunteered." ”
"And what's your name?"
"Feng Dan."
"Okay, Feng Dan." I said with some displeasure: "The regulations of the academy say that students are not allowed to swap seats at will, if there is a need, they have to report it first, do you know?" ”
"Okay, good," Feng Dan responded impatiently: "But Luo Boshi insists on changing with me, and I'm not happy yet." ”
As he spoke, he stuffed the textbook in his hand into his book bag, then threw it on his shoulder, and said casually: "Sir, do you know Feng Yuanyang, the treasurer of the Ministry of Industry?" ”
I lowered my face to look at him smiling, surnamed Feng, is this hinting at me his background?
Feng Dan walked away with a smile, listening to him blow a small tune and kick his shoes away, but I faintly felt a trace of worry in my heart.
Counting the days, the incense burner of Yan Cassia should be repaired.
borrowed money from Fu Zhiliang and went to get it back.
The bright red gemstone reflects the obvious ice crack inside in the sunlight, and the shopkeeper said that these slight flocculents prove the authenticity of the gemstone, and the connoisseur can understand it at a glance.
I took a closer look at the incense burner, and the original pottery body was recolored, and the dark surface was hollowed out and carved with such rich elements as dragons and auspicious clouds.
The handle is made of auspicious clouds in the shape of a flower core, which is small and delicate and has a unique shape.
The most eye-catching thing is the two rubies in the middle of the furnace body that are used to bond and shield the cracks.
Among the many incense burners, it is unique and eye-catching.
Yan Jieming's face darkened a little.
I fidgeted at him, and for some reason his face was an octave darker than the last time I saw him.
Secretly thinking, could it be that the Ministry of Industry has to go out on business from time to time, and it is also hard work to be exposed to the wind and sun.
“... This incense burner..."The corners of Yan Cianming's mouth twitched, and his eyes were weird.
"How?" I grinned flatteringly, and said happily: "Yan Gongzi, look at this pattern, this carving technique, this color, is it very different from before?" ”
"Yes..."Yan Cassia Ming's face darkened.
"The dragon auspicious clouds, the extravagance is compelling, and it reflects the identity and status of the son of Yan, such an incense burner is placed in the house, and when the son has guests, it is also a good thing to enhance the son's temperament!"
“......”
Yan Cianming put down the incense burner in his hand and looked at me silently.
"How much silver did you spend on this ruby?"
I'm overjoyed, Yan Cianming is really a knowledgeable person, and the shopkeeper will not deceive me.
Chong Yan Cassia excitedly gestured out two fingers.
"Two hundred?"
I shook my head, thinking to myself if Yan Cianming was teasing me.
"Two... Two? ”
I continued to shake my head, if two taels of silver can be exchanged for such a big ruby, I will not go to teach and educate people, such a gem will require more or less people, open a small shop to make money.
“... It can't be twenty taels, right? ”
I nodded excitedly, and Yan Cassia Ming's face darkened.
It was as black as if he had just crawled out of a coal pile, and Yan Cianming finally couldn't help it.
"What's the name of the shop?"
Yan Cianming dragged me all the way to the jewelry repair shop.
When the shopkeeper saw me gone, he came back with a tall man with a very unpleasant face.
Yan Jieming grimaced, pointed to the incense burner and said, "This is what your store repaired?" ”
The shopkeeper saw that the visitor was not good, his face sank, and he said in a low voice: "How? ”
"Fool a little girl and earn money with such a bad conscience, and your heart can be eaten by dogs?"
The shopkeeper shook the towel on his shoulder and shouted, "Which one has been deceived, this is all chosen by the girl herself!" ”
Yan Cianming smiled angrily, pointed to the dark red gem and said: "Red with purple, at first glance it looks a bit bluffing, but the internal wrapping in this stone is too simple, right?" ”
"Shopkeeper, to make it clear, this is Moissanite, right?"
The shopkeeper looked at Yan Cassia and was confident, so he knew that he had met an expert, but he was not afraid.
"The rules of the store, the goods leave the platform, they are not responsible, who knows if you have dropped the package!"
was pushed and shoved out of the store, but Yan Cianming was not annoyed, and bought the rice paper of Mr. Letterwriter on the side of the road, and Yan Cianming waved his pen.
"Fish eyes are mixed, shoddy, and cheated."
Yan Jieming instructed me to stand in front of the store and distribute rice paper, while he sat in the chair of the letter writer and read a book.
"Take a look, take a look, this shop uses moissanite to deceive people, this girl is the victim, show up and say, don't be fooled by the old folks who have passed by!"
Yan Jieming pushed me in the middle of the crowd and asked me to hold the incense burner in my hand and show it to passers-by.
I was a shy person when I saw a lot of people, but Yan Cianming told me that if I didn't stand up bravely, more people would be deceived.
I think he has a point.
"Oh, it's true, look at this luster, there is a ghost!"
"Hey, look at this color, it looks good, but the value of gemstones and moissanite is quite different, and this shopkeeper really lacks virtue."
“......”
The crowd of onlookers grew, and the shopkeeper hiding in the store finally couldn't help it, and came out with a broom in his hand.
Yan Jieming escorted me and squeezed out of the crowd with my feet, but the crowd around me rushed up and surrounded the shopkeeper to ask for an explanation.
As the sun sets, the white clouds are dyed golden, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the tops of the mulberry elm trees, forming beams of thick and thin pillars of light.
Yan Cianming dragged me all the way to the outskirts of Beijing, laughing so hard that my stomach hurt.
I laughed too, and the warm light shone on my body, which was so happy.
"How's it going?"
Yan Cianming's good-looking eyes narrowed slightly, and his bony hands were placed on his mouth, and he kept rubbing his hands.
I nodded, and the depression of being cheated out of money was swept away as I ran.
"I took this incense burner."
"Huh?" I'm not too embarrassed, a good incense burner inlaid with moissanite, the value is not high or low, and it will be laughed at.
"It's okay," Yan Cianming looked at the sunset, and a faint halo hit it: "It's pretty good." ”
"Then we... It's kind of two clear, right? I asked tentatively.
"Not necessarily." Yan Jianming quickly put the incense burner into his arms: "In this way, if you want to get through the trick, it's easier to be confused." ”
"Ahh I let out a wail, and my heart was dripping blood: "Then did I spend my twenty taels of silver in vain??" ”
"So what?"
"You report me!!"
Yan Cianming looked at me in shock, I don't know if I was dazzled or what, but my thin pink and white face turned red.
"See what I do? Report me or not!! ”
It hurts me to think that this money has been lost, and the money has been spent on the stove, and it can't be settled, and the money must be repaid by him.
“......”
Yan Cianming didn't speak, but his face became redder and redder.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the seven-foot man is grinding."
Yan Jianming hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, opened his arms, grabbed my shoulder with one hand, and embraced me into his arms.
“......”
“......”
The surroundings were quiet, and the breeze came in the direction of the earth, as if a sugar cube was blended into this dull air, and the sweetness was intoxicating.
Buried in his chest, I didn't dare to move.
The tip of his nose smelled thick agarwood, and his face was pressed against the silk satin, as soft as a feather.
This material is so comfortable, I think, light and proper, so light that you can feel the power of the beating heart of Yan Cassia .
I don't move, and neither does Yan Cianming.
I don't know how long it took, Yan Cianming's muffled voice sounded above his head.
“... Is that enough? ”
"Huh?" I woke up like I was from a dream, what I was doing, how I was hugging him.......
Quickly jumped out of his embrace, and both of them blushed.
They stared at each other in silence, and the atmosphere was so awkward that I had nothing to do with brushing the broken hair on my forehead to divert attention.
“.... Actually," Yan Cianming held back for a long time, and said in a low voice: "You stepped on my foot just now." ”
“......”
It's too much!!
The pink bubbles that had just brewed in the air burst through, and the splash of soap fell on my face, extinguishing the restlessness that had just sprung up in my heart.
I looked down at my feet.
On my feet, I still have embroidered shoes made for me by my aunt before the exam, and I have worn them for a long time, and they are so dilapidated that I can't see their original beauty.
Yan Jieming also noticed.
Noticing Yan Cassieur's gaze, I retracted my embroidered shoes, as if I was immersed in a bucket of cold water, and my mind was instantly clear.
Yan Cianming silently followed behind me.
My steps were getting faster and faster, and I think I had just recognized the class gap between me and him.
He was the son of a wealthy family, and I was still struggling to make ends meet.
It's a friend, and I'm not qualified.
I just want to get back to the house as soon as possible, the stove is back, and I thank you for saving my life, so I don't need to see you again.
I walked like a fly, like lightning, almost at a trot, and opened the distance between me and him.
In the capital at night, roadside street vendors are closing their stalls one after another, and the twilight is dark and boundless.
Yan Cianming behind me was gradually unable to see clearly, but I seemed to be relieved.
"Yo, girl, long time no see."
Turning the street is the courtyard of the Guozijian, but in the darkness there is a figure that has been waiting for a long time.
The sound was like a devil asking for his life, and people couldn't help but shiver all over, and their steps seemed to be glued together, unable to move.
The shadow in the nightmare slowly walked out of the shadows, and the dog's tail grass at the corner of the mouth was still so familiar.
Even if I have dreamed thousands of times in my dreams, when it becomes a reality again, it is still cold.
"How dare you show up?" Gritted his constantly trembling teeth, so that his voice sounded less afraid: "Aren't you afraid that I will drag you to the official?" ”
"Hahaha...", as if he had heard some great joke, pinching my chin, the stench of his mouth hit my face and made me sick to my stomach.
"Aren't you joking, now I'm for the knife and you for the fish, report to the official? Oh, let's choose a coffin for yourself first, stinky. ”
He grabbed me by the hair, tried to drag me away, and cursed in his mouth: "Stinky girls have caused me to hide in Tibet these days, but I want to give you a good look!" ”
I struggled desperately, biting down on his bare arm, hard, not letting go.
"Grass!" The thief spread his hand in pain, and beads of blood poured out, and his eyes were red with anger.
I saw him pull out the dagger on his waist, a cold light appeared, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
I couldn't avoid it, and I sighed in my heart, only blaming myself for letting my guard down.
"Whew-"
A strong wind burst through the face, a slightly sharp crash across the cold-glowing blades.
Knives, fell.
