Rebirth Jade Fate

Chapter 24 Two Years

Wei Qingzhen sat at the entrance of Shangyu Pavilion, watching the candidates inside to choose the original stone, but listening to the whispers of several people.

People with crafts are afraid that others will learn their crafts, but if they want to pass them on to future generations, they have to take them out to practice. When the masters of several silver houses brought their apprentices to buy rough stones, they all lowered their voices and taught them. , Wei Qingyu sat outside the door and heard it clearly.

Wei Qingzhen is very embarrassed, this stealing art is too open and aboveboard, and he is soft on others. After listening to it for two days, Wei Qingzhen felt that he was guilty when facing the other party, so he suppressed himself not to listen, and diverted his attention. When I was struggling, I noticed the old grandson on the side.

The old man was also strange, he would come to the Jade Pavilion every day, without saying a word, he just looked at all the rough stones, bought the ones he liked, untied them and sold them on the spot, and left the ones he didn't like when the time came.

Wei Qingyu has a book handed down by the old man Xu, and she has already memorized the book back and forth in the past two years. She came here just for practice, but practice costs money, and she has no money.

It is impossible for those people from the Yinlou to unravel stones here, only free people like Lao Suntou can do it, and Lao Suntou has the highest chance of winning the bet. The stone that Sun Tou had seen, secretly calculated whether there was jade in it, and what would be the quality of the jade?What color or types of jade will it be, and how big it will be.

In order to be able to get started, she also helped Master Wu to untie stones in Shangyu Pavilion. After two years, her strength has increased a lot.

Lao Suntou chose a dark brown rough stone with a thin skin, and a light green color can be seen from the skin. Because of its good performance, the rough stone the size of a watermelon is priced at 50 taels.

Wei Qingzhen frowned slightly. Although she could see the faint green gas on the rough stone, according to the old man Xu's book, although the rough stone with this appearance is high-quality jade, it is not a good jade, and there will be very little meat in it. .

Wei Qingyu has already found out that her jade pendant can let her see the gas emitted by the jade, but if the skin is too thick, the gas will be blocked, so she can only see the rough stone with a thin skin, but with the jade pendant The more gas she absorbed, the more she saw.

The clerk carried the rough stone and placed it at their feet, saying: "Twenty Wen, hurry up, Mr. Sun is still waiting to go home for dinner."

Master Wu responded loudly, and called Wei Qingyu to do it.

Wei Qingyu took the thallium tool and rubbed it on the side with the most green gas. After a few strokes, water was poured on it, and a life-like greenness appeared in front of people. The green gas rushed towards her. Wei Qingzhen was shocked and shouted: "Master Wu, look..."

When Master Wu saw it, he didn't expect it to be so fast, and shouted happily: "Mr. Sun, the jade has come out, it's green, lustful!"

Everyone gathered around to look, and when they saw the green, they all congratulated Old Suntou. Old Suntou walked over, with an indelible gloom in his eyes. Seeing the green, he smiled complacently, and said, "Continue to explain." !"

Master Wu was afraid that the untie would break, so he took the thallium tool and continued to grind along the opening that Wei Qingzhen had untied. Wei Qingzhen imitated him and grinded it aside.

It's just... Wei Qingyu looked at the white stone under his palm, and exchanged a glance with Master Wu, it was because he had met Peiyu.

Wei Qingyu's eyes lit up, so it turns out that this kind of performance will happen by relying on skin jade?It seems that I have to write it down when I get home.

Master Wu was a little frustrated, if he found a good jade, he would be rewarded, the old grandson has always been generous.

The old grandson has experienced this kind of falling from the sky to the ground a lot, and his face didn't change when he saw it, as if it should be so, seeing the thin layer in his hand, this kind of jade is useless at all except for decoration , although the fineness is good, but the value is only one or two taels, he threw the jade to Master Wu and said: "Take it as a reward for you two." After saying that, he turned and left Shangyu Pavilion.

Master Wu was overjoyed, this was worth a month's income, turned around and saw Wei Qingyu, smiled, put the jade away carefully, took out ten coins from his pocket, and handed it to her, "Hey, Originally, you only got five coins, and the remaining five coins are considered as a reward from Mr. Sun, so it’s not early today, so hurry home.”

Wei Qingzhen took it with her head down, sarcasm flashed in her eyes, Master Wu liked to take advantage of her, Wei Qingzhen knew it, but she didn't like to argue with others, so she didn't see it, not to mention, she didn't come here to make money.

It was almost time for the college to finish school, and Wei Qingyu was going to pick Wei Qingtong home.

She tidied up a bit, greeted the people along the road with a smile, and walked quickly to Xueyuan Road.

Liu Qing took the township examination two years ago, but unfortunately she didn't pass the exam. She plans to make persistent efforts this year, but the Liu family also married him two years ago. She is the daughter of an old scholar who has been appointed long ago, because Liu Qing also taught her Literacy, Wei Qingzhen and other students call her Mrs. Liu.

When Wei Qingyu arrived, Mrs. Liu was washing rice, and when she saw Wei Qingyu coming in, she smiled and said, "Brother Yu is very nice to come, and school will be over for a quarter of an hour.

Wei Qingzhen pursed her lips and smiled, and quickly helped Mrs. Liu fill up the water tank. When she picked up the ax to help them chop wood, the bell rang.

Minshan Academy is the largest academy in Kyoto and the best academy in the country. The big bell inside was given by Emperor Xuanzong of the former dynasty. Since then, all the academies in the capital have listened to the bell, so students go to school after school They all rushed together, and the capital also formed a tradition. Every time the students leave school, some roads will be automatically opened for the students to go home.

"Quick, stop doing it, take your brother home, please leave these matters to your husband."

"I'm in a hurry now," Wei Qingyu looked at the child who ran out quickly, and said with a smile, "Mr. is going to end next year, so how can I have time to do this? Anyway, I have time and strength, but it will only take a while. "

Seeing Xiao Hei coming out holding Wei Qingtong's hand, he beckoned, "Come here!"

Brother Tong's eyes lit up when he saw his sister, and he dragged Xiao Hei to her side, "Sister, sister, Mr. praised me today!"

"Oh?" Wei Qingyu wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and asked, "What did you praise you for?"

"Mr. praised me for being good at painting and having aura."

Who can understand this?Xiao Hei added: "Mr. Tong asked us to draw lotus flowers. Tong Geer's color matching is the best. Mr. Tong said that there is an aura in Tong Geer's painting. No one in the class can match it. Even Mr. Tong said that he couldn't draw it." It's even better."

Xiao Hei looked at Wei Qingzhen triumphantly, as if he had received a compliment.

Wei Qingtong was a little surprised. She knew that Wei Qingtong was good at painting. Although she didn't know how to paint, she still knew how to appreciate it. The food is even higher, but she didn't expect him to paint so well, even Mr. Liu thinks it can't compare.

You must know that Mr. Liu sold calligraphy and painting before. In ancient times, if the calligraphy and painting did not reach a certain level, he would not dare to set up a stall on the street.

Maybe it's time for her to talk to Mr. Liu.

Wei Qingyu patted Wei Qingtong's head and praised: "Our brother Tong is really good, can my sister give you croquettes tonight?"

Brother Tong's eyes lit up, and he invited Xiao Hei, "Brother Xiao Hei, can you go to my house to eat meatballs?"

Xiao Hei shook his head as usual, "My mother won't allow it."

"Oh," Wei Qingtong didn't feel too frustrated, just looked at her sister.

Wei Qingyu pointed to the other students in the courtyard who were still unwilling to disperse and said, "You go and play first, and we can leave after my sister chops firewood for the husband, okay?"

When the two heard that they could play for a while, they cheered and went to find their partners who played better in the past.

Wei Qingzhen glanced at the classroom, and there were several students pestering Mr. Liu to ask questions.

Wei Qingzhen erected a log. Although she was only nine years old, she was 11 years old in ancient times. She was considered a teenager and half an adult.In addition to hunting and relieving stones all year round, his strength is much greater than that of ordinary teenagers, and he can still chop firewood.

She would come early every day, for no reason, just to help Mr. Liu do some work within her capacity.

Wei Qingtong is different from other children. There are more than [-] students in a class. Even if Xiao Hei is protecting them, there are still people who provoke them. Mr. Liu can protect them in class, but after all, they must be treated equally, and it is impossible to be too biased. he.

But Mrs. Liu is different, women's love is simple and direct,

There is Mr. Liu in the classroom, so no big trouble can happen, there is Xiao Hei in the classroom, and there is Mrs. Liu escorting him, even if there are bad words, Wei Qingtong seldom hears them, not to mention, children are always better , even if it's bad words, it's nothing to get involved with those in the society, and it's not all bad for Wei Qingtong to listen to it.

When she cuts out the firewood to be used by Mr. Liu's house tomorrow, the children will also be thinking about going home.

After Wei Qingyu and Mrs. Liu greeted each other, they led Xiao Hei and Wei Qingtong back.

Along the way, Xiao Hei was a little depressed.

Wei Qingyu asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Hei lowered his head and said, "My father and mother want to change another academy for me."

Wei Qingyu stopped and asked in surprise, "Why?"

Xiao Hei hesitated, "My father wanted me to take the imperial examination, so he spent a lot of money to find a second-class academy on Academy Road, and said he would send me there." Xiao Hei looked at Wei Qingyu eagerly and said, "Brother Chen, Otherwise, you can change the academy for Brother Tong."

Wei Qingyu was a little restless, that kind of academy said that he could enter if he wanted to, not to mention that Wei Qingtong was still in this situation, it was good that Mr. Liu suppressed Yuanzhi Academy, but when he went to that kind of place, the fights increased and the conflicts also increased. How could Wei Qingtong let Wei Qingtong suffer that?
But Xiao Hei is Wei Qingtong's best friend, besides her, Xiao Hei is the only one who has the patience to talk to Brother Tong.

"Why did your father suddenly think of letting you pass the imperial examination?"

Xiao Hei said bitterly: "It's all caused by my younger sisters. Two years ago, my mother gave birth to two younger sisters, but she has no younger brother. Originally, my father planned to let me inherit his family business, and then sent my younger brother to the Imperial Examination."

The corners of Wei Qingyu's mouth twitched. Boss Liu is really powerful. Before his son was born, he decided his future.

"My mother gave birth to two younger sisters, and I already have three younger sisters. My father was afraid that I would still be a younger sister, so he asked me to take the imperial examination."
