The text of Chapter 41 Lian Jue's plan

The day after Feng Chuan and Tang Chaoqun returned to Linyuan Town, Feng Chuan heard Lian Jue's shout while he was still asleep, and Feng Chuan got up and opened the door to invite Lian Jue into the door.

As soon as Lian Jue entered the door, he said, "Fengchuan, there is something I want to ask you to help me." Feng Chuan: "Lian Gongzi can say anything directly, do we still need to ask for it?" Lian Jue: "This is what you said, I saw you come back yesterday and brought two rhinoceros horns, and I like those two rhinoceros horns very much, or you sell the rhino horns to me." Feng Chuan: "If you want to give it to you, I don't know what you want that rhinoceros horn for?" Lian Jue: "I'm going to buy some gifts for Ni Yan these days, but I haven't found a suitable one after shopping around Linyuan Town, and I saw you come back with two rhino horns yesterday, so I had an idea." Feng Chuan: "Then you are going to give the rhinoceros horn to Ni Yan?" Lian Jue: "How is this possible, I am going to take two rhinoceros horns to Shangyuan City to find a good carver to make two small boats, one small boat engraved with my name, one engraved with Ni Yan's name, and then the small boat engraved with my name will be given to Ni Yan." Feng Chuan: "Lian Gongzi is so attentive, do you want to make a private agreement with Ni Yan for life?" Lian Jue: "Don't ask so much, let's go to Shangyuan City tomorrow." Kazekawa: "Okay." Lian Jue: "Since it's decided, I'll go to my master now." After Lian Jue finished speaking, he was about to leave, Feng Chuan hurriedly said: "Wait for me, I will also go to Senior Tang." ”

Lian Jue and Feng Chuan came to Tang Chaoqun's house together, and after meeting Tang Chaoqun, Tang Chaoqun began to teach Lian Jue martial arts. Fengchuan came purely to meet Tang Chaoqun this time, and there was nothing else, but Tang Chaoqun heard that Lian Jue and Fengchuan were going to leave for Shangyuan City tomorrow, so he instructed Lian Jue and Fengchuan to pay attention to protecting their own safety.

The next day, Lian Jue, Fengchuan and two guards rode towards Shangyuan City, and when they arrived in Shangyuan City, they did not rest, and Lian Jue went to find the carving master. Seeing a store selling jewelry, Lian Jue stepped into the store without even looking at the name of the store, but Feng Chuan glanced at the plaque hanging on the store, and saw that the plaque had three big characters of Jinyu Ji, and there were eight small characters of "Ten Generations of Inheritance and Excellence" at the bottom of Jinyuji.

The shopkeeper of Jinyuji saw Lian Jue wearing gorgeous clothes and entering the store, followed by Feng Chuan and two guards, so he said: "Childe, look at it casually, call me when you see it." When Lian Jue heard this, he looked behind the shopkeeper. It turned out that when I entered the store, there was a long counter, Lian Jue was outside the counter, and the shopkeeper followed a girl in the counter, and behind the shopkeeper was a shelf, on which some gold, silver and jade jewelry were displayed.

After Lian Jue looked at the ornaments on the shelves, he pointed to a pair of gold hairpins and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, bring that pair of gold hairpins over and give me a closer look." The shopkeeper listened and said, "Yes." The girl who was at the counter with the shopkeeper listened to the shopkeeper's words, and immediately took down the pair of golden hairpins that Lian Jue pointed to from the shelf, handed them to Lian Jue and said, "Childe, please take a look." Lian Jue took the pair of golden hairpins handed over by the girl and looked at them carefully.

A thin flower branch with a few buds, a butterfly landed on it, looking at the butterfly made of gold on the golden hairpin in his hand lifelike, Lian Jue was very satisfied. Then Lian Jue asked the shopkeeper to take out four pieces of jade or gold jewelry, after reading, Lian Jue asked the shopkeeper: "I wonder if you have jewelry made of rhinoceros horn here?" The shopkeeper listened and said: "There is no rhinoceros horn, but there is ivory." Lian Jue: "Can you show it to me?" Shopkeeper: "Okay." As he spoke, the shopkeeper took down a comb from the shelf behind him and handed it to Lian Jue, who took the comb and looked at it.

The comb is a pale yellow color, and it is engraved with flowing clouds, which change with the depth and angle of the notch, and the flowing clouds are as if they were real. After reading this comb, Lian Jue returned the comb to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, do you customize things here?" Shopkeeper: "I don't know what Gongzi wants to customize?" Lian Jue turned his head to the two guards behind him and said: "Give the rhinoceros horn to the shopkeeper." The two guards listened to Lian Jue's words, each took a wooden box from his back, put it on the counter, and then opened it.

The shopkeeper looked at the white rhinoceros horn in the open wooden box and said, "This kind of rhinoceros horn is not common, I don't know what Gongzi wants to make this rhinoceros horn into." Lian Jue: "Two small boats, one for the person I like." Shopkeeper: "Yes, but these two rhinoceros horns are also valuable, I will first write down the shape of the rhinoceros horns, and then tell the carver, the carver will design what the rhinoceros horns should be carved according to the shape of the rhinoceros horns, and finally draw the drawings." The carver will design several models and draw drawings for you to choose, and Childe will choose the one he likes. Lian Jue: "How long will it take for the design drawings to be drawn?" The shopkeeper: "Eight or nine days, or you will come back in nine days." Lian Jue: "That's good." Shopkeeper: "Childe, you need to charge a deposit for customizing things, and you will receive a total of twenty taels of silver for these two rhinoceros horns." Lian Jue listened and paid the money. Then after the shopkeeper measured the shape and size of the two rhinoceros horns, Lian Jue asked the guards to put the two rhinoceros horns away. After the guard put away the rhinoceros horn, the shopkeeper took out a piece of paper and wrote a contract to collect the deposit, then pressed his fingerprint and handed it to Lian Jue.

After taking the contract, Lian Jue said goodbye and wanted to leave, Feng Chuan took out a broken jade hairpin from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper and said: "Shopkeeper, can this hairpin be repaired?" The shopkeeper took the jade hairpin and looked at it twice and said: "This hairpin can be repaired, but when I see you coming with this son, I will repair it for you for free." After speaking, the shopkeeper took out a piece of paper and wrote down the contract, which wrote that the customer would receive a broken jade hairpin for repair, what is the size of the jade hairpin, and finally write that the repair fee has been paid. Pressing his finger print, the shopkeeper handed the contract to Feng Chuan, who took it and said, "Thank you shopkeeper, I don't know when I can get back the jade hairpin?" Shopkeeper: "Nine days later, how about you come with this son?" Fengchuan: "Okay, that's it." ”

After Lian Jue and Fengchuan left Jinyuji, the four of them came to Lian Jue's family's residence in Shangyuan City, which was guarded by a servant, and the servant saw the arrival of the second son, and hurriedly invited Lian Jue and Fengchuan in. After resting in that residence for a while, Fengchuan said goodbye to Lian Jue, saying that he was going to Dongsheng's uncle's house, and Lian Jue heard that he would go with Fengchuan to visit, and then the two went to Dongsheng's house together.

When I came to Dongsheng's house, there were only Xiangru and Le Sui at home, and I heard that Aunt Xiangru said that Uncle Dongsheng had just gone to carry out the task of the Flying Eagle Gang a few days ago, Fengchuan asked Dongshengbo and Shaoqu how they were in recent days, and Aunt Xiangru said that they were all very good, Fengchuan was relieved, and in the evening, Dongchengwen returned to talk to Fengchuan.

At dinner, everyone sat at the same table, Feng Chuan talked about the strangeness of Qianyuan Gorge, which caused Dong Chengwen and several people to be surprised, and after the meal, Lian Jue said goodbye, Feng Chuan was afraid that it would not be safe for Lian Jue to go back alone at night, so he left together.

Between the lights, Lian Jue and Feng Chuan carried the gifts from Xiangru and walked towards the Lian family's mansion in Shangyuan City.
