Chapter 8 Methods of Repairing Jade Pendants

After about half a stick of incense time, Gu Changgeng came out of the Jinyinzhai with a solemn expression.

"Miss, let's go back to the mansion quickly. If others find out that we have left the mansion without permission, we will all be punished."

Lin Qingqian comforted the nervous Chunxia, ​​"Don't be afraid, we'll go back later, but now let's go to Jinyinzhai first to ask."

"Miss……"

Chunxia couldn't persuade Lin Qingqian, and followed her into the Jinyinzhai with a sad face.

The shopkeeper of Jinyinzhai smiled and greeted: "Miss, what jewelry do you need? Our jewelry is exquisite in style and has a variety of styles. It can be said that it is one of the best in Kyoto."

Lin Qingqian pretended to look at it casually, picked up a step with her small hand, shook her eyes, and asked casually: "Shopkeeper, when I entered the door just now, I met a young man in Tsing Yi, is he here to buy?" what?"

"That young master, he came to ask me if I could repair a piece of jade pendant for him, but the jade pendant was broken in two, and it was absolutely impossible to restore it to its original state. He begged me repeatedly, and I told him, There is a shop named Qingchengfang, where a jeweler used to earn a living in the palace when he was young, and it is said that his craftsmanship is very good, I asked him to try it there."

Jade?

Lin Qingqian remembered what Chunxia said a few days ago, that Yuanshen threw the only jade pendant left to him by Gu Changgeng's father, and then he attacked Yuanshen.

"Shopkeeper, where is Qingchengfang?"

"The opposite of Wangjianglou Inn, which is going straight ahead, is Qingchengfang."

Lin Qingqian said, "Thank you." She pulled up Chunxia and said, "Let's go and have a look."

"Hey, miss, don't look at the jewelry in this store anymore..." Before the shopkeeper could finish his sentence, Lin Qingqian dragged the person along and disappeared at the intersection in front of him. He rubbed his nose depressedly, and went back to greet other customers.

Chun Xia trotted all the way, barely keeping up with Lin Qingqian's pace.

Not long after, the two came to the Qingchengfang mentioned by the shopkeeper of Jinyinzhai.

Seeing that Lin Qingqian was about to go in, Chun Xia held her back and said anxiously: "Miss, shall we go back to the mansion? We will be known by others later that we are not in the mansion!"

"Don't worry, no one will find out. You see, the weather is cold, and everyone in the mansion knows that I'm not recovering from the cold, and I need to rest in peace. They won't come to disturb my rest."

"But……"

Lin Qingqian didn't give Chunxia time to hesitate, without saying a word, she dragged her into Qingchengfang.

Gu Changgeng frowned and stood in front of the counter, and said to a gray-haired old man about 60 years old: "Master, is there really no way to repair this jade pendant? The jade pendant is very important to me, can I trouble you to think about it again?" , see if there is another way?"

The old master shook his head in embarrassment, "Young master, it's not that I don't want to help you. If it's gold and silver jewelry, it's okay. I really can't do anything about this jade pendant. You'd better find someone else."

Gu Changgeng clenched the jade pendant that was broken in half in his hand, his brows were full of sadness.

Suddenly, a clear and beautiful voice sounded from behind.

"Brother Chang Geng, I have a method here, maybe it might be able to repair your jade pendant."

Gu Changgeng looked back, his face darkened, "Lin Qingqian, it's you again!"

Lin Qingqian walked up to Gu Changgeng in two or three steps, tried her best to put on an expression and said sincerely: "Brother Changgeng, can you show me the jade pendant first? I really have a way to repair the jade pendant."

Gu Changgeng sneered in his heart, even the skilled craftsmen were helpless, what could she do.

"You don't need to be hypocritical. You broke this jade pendant with your own hands. Now you tell me that you have a way to help me repair it. Don't you find it ridiculous to contradict yourself?"

"Miss broke your jade pendant earlier, it must have been unintentional..." Chun Xia's eyes drifted, and he wanted to protect the Lord against his conscience.

Sure enough, Gu Changgeng glanced at Lin Qingqian ironically, and was about to turn around and leave.

Lin Qingqian ran up to Gu Changgeng, opened her arms to stop him, "Brother Changgeng, believe me once, it was my fault before, this time I just want to make up for it, I swear, everything I said is true, absolutely nothing Playing tricks to deceive you!"

Gu Changgeng lowered his eyes, as if he was a little shaken.

Lin Qingqian added, "Just show me the jade pendant. You keep holding the jade pendant. I won't even touch it. I can't do anything to damage the jade pendant."

Gu Changgeng thought for a while, "Okay, I can show you the jade pendant, if you dare to come up with any other tricks..."

The warning in the words made Lin Qingqian's heart tremble, and she quickly said with a dry smile: "I will never think of anything, I just want to see."

Nonsense, her future depends entirely on him, she dares to play any tricks, and it's too late to please him.

Gu Changgeng spread out the round jade pendant that had been broken in half in his hand. The texture of the jade was crystal clear, the fractures on both sides were fairly flat, and there was a relief of the word Gu engraved on it.

Lin Qingqian stared at Yupei without blinking, looking thoughtful.

After staring at it for a long time, the master sighed softly, and said: "Little girl, I am sixty-three this year, and I have never heard of the method of repairing jade. You don't want to lie to this young master again."

Gu Changgeng flashed a hint of disappointment, and was about to put away the jade pendant, Lin Qingqian said coldly: "I have a method, although it can't restore the jade pendant to its original state, at least the repaired flaws will be minimal."

The old master looked at Lin Qingqian in surprise, "Young lady, are you serious?"

"Master, you said that your craft of making gold and silver jewelry is very good?"

"It's not that I'm boasting. The step-shaking hairpins I made in the palace, all the ladies in the palaces are very satisfied without exception!"

Lin Qingqian nodded slightly, "Then I believe the master can do the art of repairing cured nails."

"Curium nail repair? This old man has never heard of this method."

Curium nail repair in modern times is sawing porcelain, a process that can repair porcelain, Lin Qingqian thought, the same principle can be used to repair jade pendants.

"This..." Lin Qingqian didn't know how to explain it for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Brother Chang Geng, can you give me the jade pendant? I will definitely not damage it. Use the jade pendant as a demonstration. I can explain this method." Be more specific."

Gu Changgeng was dubious, and finally gave her the jade pendant.

Lin Qingqian put the two jade pendants together on the counter, "Master, can you lend me the pen, ink, paper and inkstone?"

"Please go ahead, little girl."

"Thank you."

Lin Qingqian dipped a pen into some ink, and began to write on the paper with full concentration.

Gu Changgeng looked at Lin Qingqian calmly, the woman in front of him exuded a gentle and restrained calmness, completely different from the arrogant and domineering her in the past.

After half a cup of tea, Lin Qingqian put down the pen, and the teacher read it carefully, becoming more and more puzzled.

"Little girl, what you painted on this is..."
