Chapter 6 Leaving the Jade
Yue Beihuai looked at Mu Nancheng, who was so anxious that he was about to cry, he was a little helpless, he really wouldn't comfort a person when he was so big.
He asked softly, "Can you tell me what was stolen?" ”
Mu Nancheng was still very obsessed with finding that thing from herself, so she rummaged through it and said, "A piece of Lantian jade." ”
"That piece of jade is important to you?" Beihuai subconsciously asked.
Mu Nancheng said "En".
That piece of Lantian jade was given to her by Uncle Mu Nan Tangerine, and it was also the only witness to her relationship that ended without a problem. Now that even this piece of jade has been lost, perhaps to tell her that she should not think about Uncle Jiu.
Her ninth uncle was only five years older than her, but he had been married a year earlier. Mu Nantang's unspoken words can no longer be spoken.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but burst into tears. But she didn't want people to see her, so she squatted down and hugged herself, burying her head between her legs.
Yue Beihuai looked at Mu Nantang's helpless appearance, and rarely felt a little distressed. He also understands the feeling of losing something dearest, after all, that thing is probably a kind of sustenance.
He squatted down beside Mu Nantang, then gently patted her on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't be sad. Didn't they all say that the old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come? Seeing that Mu Nancheng ignored him, Yue Beihuai asked again, "Do you want me to buy you another piece?" ”
After he finished speaking, he immediately felt that it was inappropriate, can the jade he bought be the same as the jade given by others?
Mu Nanju wiped his tears, then raised his head, sat directly on the curb, looked at the waning sun, and sighed.
Yue Beihuai wanted to sit with her, but because of his identity, he couldn't sit down on the side of the road as chicly as her.
He looked at Mu Nan Tang very confusedly, and in the end, he brushed the ground with his coat out of the ordinary, and then sat down with his eyes closed.
Mu Nantang, who was sad alone, didn't notice Yue Beihuai's strange behavior, and didn't care about the strange eyes of passers-by looking at the two.
It was the first time that Yue Beihuai was seen so embarrassed, and he wouldn't say anything comforting, so he just sat quietly with Mu Nancheng.
After a long time, Mu Nantang seemed to have figured it out. She stood up with a smile, patted the ash on her clothes, and said to Yue Beihuai: "Forget it, if you lose it, you can lose it." ”
Yue Beihuai looked at Mu Nan's orange peel smiling without smiling, he really forced her. But why pretend to be strong, it's obviously a girl.
He couldn't help but ask, "You're not looking for it?" ”
"I'm not looking for it." Mu Nancheng sighed and continued: "I should have thought that there are some things that are destined to be lost and should not be forced. ”
Although Yue Beihuai didn't know the story behind this jade, he also heard the helplessness of the words. Speaking of helplessness, he has a deep understanding. So he asked again: "If you don't look for it, the horror will regret it, right?" ”
Mu Nanju looked indifferent and shrugged his shoulders: "It's okay, just take it as if God is telling me that I love the wrong person." ”
Yue Beihuai was silent for a moment, he never thought that Mu Nan Tang would trust him so much and tell his suffering so easily. In fact, Yue Beihuai is reluctant to express his true thoughts, let alone a person who has only met a few times. But after a while, he still spoke: "I have always felt that there is no right or wrong to love this kind of thing, only whether it is worth it or not." ”
At this time, the crimson flames on the horizon stained the sky, and the two stood opposite each other, as if they had their own agendas. The sun is gradually disappearing completely above the horizon, and the small shops on the roadside are gradually beginning to close.
Mu Nancheng arched his hand and said to Yue Beihuai: "Brother Yue, I want to go back to the inn, so don't go first." ”
To Yue Beihuai's own surprise, he actually subconsciously stretched out his hand and grabbed Mu Nantang, and said, "Come back after dinner with me." ”
Mu Nanju grabbed Yue Beihuai, who was on his wrist, and said, "Brother Yue treats people kindly, and I have long been grateful. If we have the next chance to meet, we will not get drunk and go home. ”
Yue Beihuai sensed that his behavior was inappropriate, so he quickly let go of her hand. He is also aware of this problem for the first time, and maybe if they say goodbye today, they may never see each other again in this vast river and lake. Mu Nantang is a child of the rivers and lakes, and listening to her tone seems to be accustomed.
It's okay, it's not a good thing to get involved with him anyway.
In the end, Yuebei Huaimu sent Mu Nan Tang into the inn on the side, and he was ready to go back. At this time, the sky is getting dark, and the once lively neighborhood gradually disappears when night comes. At this time, Yue Beihuai saw that only one jade shop was still open. Before he knew it, he walked in.
The boss was counting the utensils, and saw Yue Beihuai, who was very angry, walking in, so he greeted him with a smile on his face: "What is the son looking for?" ”
Yue Beihuai was stunned, looked around a little embarrassed, and said, "That, I'll take a look at it." ”
The boss looked at Yue Beihuai's well-dressed Yunjin, his gestures were gentle and elegant, he must be the son of a good family, so he replied more kindly: "Son, look at it casually." ”
Yue Beihuai nodded, and then looked at the dazzling jade without a soul, and found that he didn't seem to see Jingyu, and said while looking at the boss: "Do you have a good Lantian jade?" Show them all to me. ”
The boss thought to himself that this was really the God of Wealth. Although Lantian jade has been popularized, only high-ranking officials and dignitaries can afford it. This person also said that he wanted to make a good Lantian jade, and he must be the master who made a generous move.
"Childe, please sit here, and I'll ask someone to fetch it for you from the storeroom."
Yue Beihuai nodded, and then smiled and took the tea served by this person.
The two young men were soon carried into the main hall with a wooden box covered in ash. The boss hurriedly wiped the ash on it with a rag and reprimanded: "How do you do things, let the guests eat the ashes?" Then he immediately changed his face again, turned around and bent over and said to Yue Beihuai: "Childe, there are not many people like you in the store, so the good jade is pressed into the bottom of the box and falls into ashes." ”
"The boss is really good at talking, why don't you open it and show me your collection first."
The boss nodded again and again, and then carefully took out the jade inside and put it on the table for Yue Beihuai to choose.
Yue Beihuai stood up, looked at it at a glance, and couldn't help but sigh that although this sparrow was small, it had all kinds of organs. The first thing is an olive-colored Lantian jade belt, and the patterns carved on it are too complicated, so Yue Beihuai will skip it directly. The second piece is a bright yellow Lantian jade, like an ornament that girls will like. He thought about Mu Nantang's appearance with this thing in his mind, and then shook his head again.
The boss looked at Yue Beihuai as if he was dissatisfied, and wanted to say a few words in a hurry, but was stopped by Yue Beihuai raising his hand.
Yue Beihuai picked up a vermilion lacquer set next to it, opened it and took a look, and found that there was a Lantian water cangyu lying inside. Yuebei Huai can see at a glance from this flawless luster that this is a good white marble, and the shape is simple and not chic, although it is not convenient to wear, but it is a good thing as a collection.
He pointed to the jade and said, "That's it." ”
The boss couldn't help but rub his hands and flattered: "Childe has good eyesight." Legend has it that the jade seals of Qin Shi Huang are all made of water classels, and the jade used in this jade is still the rarest white jade. There are no flaws in the whole body, which is said to be the best grade. ”
Yue Beihuai didn't hear it, took out a stack of noodles from his sleeve, put it on the counter, and asked, "Are these enough?" ”
The boss looked at the stack and was dumbfounded. This is a paper money that was only issued in the previous dynasty, and it was only circulated among the powerful. If ordinary people can see a meeting in their lifetime, they are all people who have seen the world. Therefore, huizi is not only a currency, but also a status symbol. As a result, the boy directly took out a stack and gave it to him, and he didn't dare to accept it tremblingly.
Yue Beihuai thought it was not enough, and then took out a gold ingot, put it on his trembling hand, and asked, "Is it enough now?" ”
