(12) It is good to be in pairs

"Guard Yang, where in this city is there a shop that specializes in selling jade treasures?"

After leaving the good tea fast, Lian Qingjue got into the carriage and prepared to go home. However, when he touched the paper on his chest, a little smile instantly appeared on his somewhat serious face.

"There's one in the east of the city."

Yang Qingwei secretly paid attention to the gentle smile on Lian Qingjue's face with some incredulity. Although Childe often smiles on weekdays, this is the first time he has seen such a gentle smile that seems to melt people now.

"Check it out."

As if he had thought of something interesting, the smile on the corner of Lian Qingjue's mouth became stronger and stronger.

"Yes."

It seemed that he was dazzled by Lian Qingjue's smile, Yang Qingwei hurriedly opened the car door and ordered the driver to turn around and go to the east of the city.

……

"Childe is good. I wonder what Childe wants? Jade pendant? Or is it a curiose ornament? ”

In the Severo Pavilion in the east of the city, the business was very good on weekdays, but today because of the rain, the store is quieter than usual. But despite the small number of customers, the guys in the store are not lazy. It is still the organizing shelf that should be organized, and the table that should be wiped and swept the floor. So when Lian Qingjue walked in with Yang Qingwei, someone immediately greeted him warmly.

"I wonder if your store has any good jade materials?"

Lian Qingjue held his hands and walked casually beside the shelves full of various treasures.

"Hey, Childe wants good jade, this is the right place."

Li Xiaobao smiled proudly.

"Think it's the first time I've come to this Saxo Pavilion? To put it mildly, if there is something that we don't have in Saxo Treasure Court, it is even less likely to be available elsewhere. ”

"Oh?"

Listening to the words of the guy in front of him, he glanced at the shelf beside him again, and Lian Qingjue nodded.

"There are a lot of rare treasures on this shelf."

"Childe has good eyesight!"

Although Li Xiaobao is not very old, he has been here for ten years since he started as an apprentice in this Saxon Treasure Pavilion, and he can be regarded as a "countless reader", so when Lian Qingjue just stepped into the store, he saw that although this son was dressed plainly, he had an extraordinary temperament, and he must be a person who is either rich or noble. Sure enough, when he heard Lian Qingjue casually glance at it and recognized the treasures on the shelf, he was even more attentive to Lian Qingjue.

"Then I don't know what kind of jade material Gongzi wants? What do you want to do with it? The shopkeeper just got a few days ago a piece of black jade with a very full head of water and a mutton fat jade with the best color, but it is a little smaller, but it is no problem to make a gadget. ”

"Is it enough to make a hosta?"

Lian Qingjue said, picked up an extremely delicate carved wish-like hairpin on the shelf next to him, then shook his head, and put the hosta down again.

"It's enough, it's more than enough to make one."

Li Xiaobao smiled.

"Childe, but what do you want to give to your sweetheart? Why don't you just make a pair? It's good to be in pairs. ”

"In pairs?"

Lian Qingjue thought for a moment, and then glanced at Li Xiaobao appreciatively.

"Just do what you say, make a pair."

"Okay. The son, please, please rest and drink a cup of tea first, and the little one will go to report to the shopkeeper. ”

"Hmm."

Follow Li Xiaobao to the private room on the side of the lobby, where tea and snacks are already prepared on the table. Lian Qingjue sat down, and as soon as he took a sip of hot tea, he saw a man who was close to his age of not being confused and was in good spirits walked up to him and respectfully saluted him.

"Childe, here is the shopkeeper of this Sark Pavilion, Huang Hetian, but Childe wants to find jade materials to make hairpins?"

"Yes."

After looking at the person in front of him, Lian Qingjue put down the cup.

"Then please take a look at these two pieces of jade to see which one Gongzi likes."

After Huang Hetian finished speaking, he turned sideways, and then a maid walked forward with a box in her hand.

"In order to see the color, these two pieces of jade have been slightly polished, and I also ask the son to take a look."

"This black jade is not very good, but this mutton fat jade can be regarded as the best!"

Lian Qingjue picked up the two pieces of jade and observed them for a while, and he already had a final account in his heart.

"Just use this piece of mutton fat jade."

"Childe really has good eyesight!"

Seeing Lian Qingjue's decision so quickly, Huang Hetian couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then sighed in his heart, he really met an expert today. That piece of ink jade, the quality is actually good, but there is a black spot with the size of a grain of sand near the center, the color of the ink jade is dark, if you don't look carefully, you can't find that flaw, but I didn't expect this son to be able to find the shortcomings of this piece of ink jade so easily.

"If you do this, will it work?"

Lian Qingjue still chuckled, and then took out the paper that he had put in his arms when he left the mansion from his chest.

"Lotus hairpin?"

Huang Hetian took the paper handed by Lian Qingjue and opened it, only to see that a hairpin pattern was carefully outlined with pen and ink: the hairpin head was a lotus flower with buds, and the hairpin body was the appearance of a lotus rhizome.

"The hairpin painted by Childe looks very chic, and it is also done, it just looks like ...... Not very suitable for girls to wear. ”

"It's okay, just do it here."

Lian Qingjue snickered in her heart, this lotus hairpin is naturally not suitable for a girl to wear, after all, that person is not a girl.

"Yes. I don't know when Childe will use it? Although it doesn't take much effort to carve this lotus, if you want to have the charm of Childe's painting, it will take a little more time. ”

Although Huang Hetian had some doubts in his heart, he didn't ask any more questions in line with the principle of "customer first".

"Maybe it will be done in a month?"

Roughly calculated the time to meet that person, Lian Qingjue said.

"Yes."

Huang Hetian nodded.

"The boy needs to pay half of the deposit first, and when the hairpin is made, the small shop will also send someone to send the hairpin to the child's house, and then the son will pay the remaining half."

"Okay."

Even Qingjue didn't ask how much half of the deposit was, but just glanced at Yang Qingwei, who had been standing behind him, and then saw Yang Qingwei put a box on the table.

"Shopkeeper, is this enough for half of the deposit?"

"That's more than half."

Huang Hetian opened the box and saw a neat and yellow ingot of gold inside.

"In addition to half of the deposit, the rest will also be put here by the yellow shopkeeper."

Lian Qingjue said indifferently, but Yang Qingwei behind him began to murmur secretly in his heart: It turned out that the box that Gongzi let him bring before going out was so much gold! No wonder it's heavy to pick up, but who did the son give this hairpin to? I haven't heard which girl Childe likes?

"Yes."

Seeing that Lian Qingjue was so generous, Huang Hetian began to guess his identity, but before he could figure it out, he saw Lian Qingjue stand up and say:

"As for the hairpin, someone will come to pick it up in person in a month."

"Yes, Childe walks slowly."

Knowing that Lian Qingjue wanted to deliberately conceal his identity, Huang Hetian respectfully agreed. Then he kept sending Lian Qingjue to the carriage until the carriage was far away......
