"I wonder what kind of objects you want to see, young master?"
Lin Shuning came downstairs, bowed to Lin Xiaodong, raised his head and asked with a smile.
"I want to buy some jade."
Lin Shuning nodded, pointed behind Lin Xiaodong and said: "This is the largest jade sculpture in the store. Isn't it worthy of the Young Master's attention?"
Shaking his head, Lin Xiaodong said: "It must be more pure and clean."
"If you like something pure, the only thing purer than jade is jade.
But..." Lin Shuning stopped talking, looked at the golden ticket in Lin Xiaodong's hand, and continued: "Jadeite is much more expensive than ordinary jade."
Seeing Lin Shuning looking at his hand, Lin Xiaodong understood and handed the golden ticket out.
Smiling at Lin Xiaodong, Lin Shuning took the golden ticket and looked at it. The date, signature, and anti-counterfeiting were all there. There was no doubt that it was a genuine ticket.
Then he looked up at Lin Xiaodong. Although he was dressed simply and smelled fishy, he had an extraordinary demeanor and a calm expression. He was by no means an ordinary person.
After returning the golden ticket, Lin Shuning raised her head and smiled at Lin Xiaodong, turned around and went upstairs, and said: "Sir, please follow me to the third floor and I will show you the rare items in the store!"
Uncle Jiang Yang stood at the entrance of the stairs, looking at Lin Xiaodong's back with doubts in his eyes: "Is it fashionable for rich people to dress like beggars nowadays?"
Lin Xiaodong followed Lin Shuning to the third floor. This place was different from the first floor. It was more quiet and there were fewer people. All kinds of precious jewelry were displayed separately in small rooms for people to enjoy. Ordinary people's homes do not have these jewelry.
The jewelry lives well.
"This is a type of black ice ink painting. The texture is black and the shape is like an ink painting. It has a unique charm."
Lin Shuning took Lin Xiaodong to an exhibition room. There was a jade plate placed in the cabinet in the middle. There were black shadows on the green background, like an ancient landscape painting.
"This one is pretty, but it's not pure enough."
Lin Xiaodong looked at it and shook his head.
Nodding and smiling, Lin Shuning was not angry. She took Lin Xiaodong to another exhibition room and said: "This is an extremely rare ice chalcedony. The master likes high purity, so I will definitely like this one."
Lin Xiaodong looked around and saw a piece of jade the size of a bull's eye placed in the display cabinet. It was almost completely transparent, warm and pure, and of excellent color.
"This is good, but it's too small."
Lin Xiaodong shook his head regretfully.
"When you buy jade, do you want to give it to others or enjoy it yourself?"
Lin Shuning turned her head and asked.
Lin Xiaodong: "No, I am a practitioner. I buy jade to refine treasures. I only look at the clarity, not the color, shape or type."
"I see!"
Lin Shuning suddenly realized: "I have met a few people before who also said they wanted to refine weapons. The requirements are somewhat similar to the young master."
"In that case, young master, you can come with me."
Lin Shuning took Lin Xiaodong and walked downstairs to the stairs.
At this time, a young man covered in silk and satin came up with a folding fan. He was very unhappy when he saw Lin Shuning and Lin Xiaodong together. He walked up arrogantly, pushed Lin Xiaodong, and asked: "Who are you?"
"Will you push me again?"
Lin Xiaodong glared and sneered.
Lin Shuning hurriedly stopped the young master and persuaded him: "Master Du, this is here to buy jade."
This Mr. Du's name is Du Yuebin. He looked at Lin Xiaodong up and down and said disdainfully: "Just ask the guy to follow me when I buy jade. Shopkeeper Lin, come and accompany me!"
Lin Shuning looked back at Lin Xiaodong in embarrassment, then turned around and said: "Mr. Du, this gentleman is here first and wants to buy jade. Please wait a moment. I'll greet him and come to you right away!"
Du Yuebin refused and threatened Lin Shuning with a stick on his neck: "What?
Are the wings stiff?
Don’t you take my father seriously?”
"No, no! Mr. Du, just wait a moment and take a look at the new jade first. I'll come back later!"
"no!"
Du Yuebin reached out and grabbed Lin Shuning's arm.
Lin Xiaodong stamped his foot and said majestically: "Let her go!"
"Which onion are you?"
Du Yuebin pushed Lin Shuning aside and walked to Lin Xiaodong to confront him.
"Who do you think your father is?"
Lin Xiaodong asked.
Du Yuebin shook his shoulders and smiled, folded his arms and tilted his head and said: "My father is Du Xingde, the general manager of the city lord Jiangji! If you are sensible, get out of here!"
"So your father is an official in the city?"
"That's right! I'm here, and Shopkeeper Lin must accompany me!"
Lin Xiaodong sneered, reached into his waist, took off the belt badge of Protector Yiluan, and threw it to Du Yuebin.
"If your father is an official, you should know this!"
After receiving the badge, Du Yuebin initially dismissed it, but after looking at the words "Yi Luan Protector" on it, he suddenly stood up straight as if he was electrocuted, raised his eyes to Lin Xiaodong, and stammered: "You, you, you...
..." Lin Xiaodong escorted the princess, retrieved the fairy flower, saved the seriously ill king, and was named the Protector of Yiluan. Everyone in the court knew about such important events. Of course Du Yuebin had heard his father talk about it, but he had never
I thought about it, I actually met a real person today, and just now I pushed him! "Sir, please spare my life!"
Holding Lin Xiaodong's belt high, Du Yuebin would kneel down to him.
Looking down at Du Yuebin coldly, Lin Xiaodong shook his head and said one word: "Get out!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
After returning the waist card to Lin Xiaodong, Du Yuebin ran away without looking back.
Lin Shuning opened her mouth and blinked at the side. She didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She couldn't believe the scene in front of her. Master Du, who was walking sideways in Jiangji City, actually escaped with his tail between his legs today! "May I ask, Master, what is your name?"
After coming back to his senses, Lin Shuning thrust her head towards Lin Xiaodong and handed over her hands.
Lin Xiaodong didn't say anything and said, "Just accompany me to look at the jade."
"Yes, yes, good, good!"
Lin Shuning's attitude towards Lin Xiaodong changed greatly and she took out all the best objects in the building to show Lin Xiaodong.
Finally, Lin Xiaodong fell in love with an imperial green rough stone.
This stone is the size of a human head, with only one layer of skin cut open. You can see the dignified lake green inside, which is extremely pure. Because the price is too shocking, no jewelry store dares to open it, so it has been kept in the warehouse.
"The skin is removed, and all the jade material is retained. There is no need to carve or polish it."
Following Lin Xiaodong's instructions, Lin Shuning sent the jade to the processing room at the back and polished it all morning, finally removing all the skin.
The remaining jade is about the size of a child's head, almost round, like a small watermelon, translucent, and without a trace of impurities.
"This piece of material can be used to make dozens of bracelets!"
As the owner of a jewelry store, Lin Shuning was dumbfounded.
Lin Xiaodong said wildly: "Make a price, I will buy whatever the price is."
Lin Shuning grinned and thought for a while. This jade material was too big and it was the best jadeite. She couldn't estimate the price alone. If it was too cheap, she would lose money. If it was too expensive, she would be afraid of offending Lin Xiaodong, so she said: "I'll ask Lou
Let’s discuss this with the gentlemen here.”
Several old men came up on the second floor, and they went to the room to discuss quietly for a long time with Lin Shuning. Considering Lin Xiaodong's extraordinary status and the preciousness of this jade, they finally gave the price of two thousand taels of gold.
