After listening to Jiang Xia's words, Wang Qilan nodded first, then shook her head. She looked at Jiang Xia and asked Jiang Xia.
"Xia Xia, can you give me the thing so I can take a closer look?"
Jiang Xia naturally did not refuse. She took off the jade pendant and placed it in Wang Qilan's palm. Wang Qilan looked at Jiang Xia's jade pendant very seriously and examined it from left to right.
"I can't say that I have seen it. If I have to say, I have seen something similar to this." Wang Qilan said.
"That person also wore a jade pendant around his neck. The texture of that jade pendant was similar to this jade, clear and transparent, and also inlaid with a layer of gold thread. But it was slightly different from this one. I think it was carved by the same master, from the same family."
"And did you see that? Look carefully at the edge of this jade pendant. It seems that there are two extra pieces that can be put together." Wang Qilan pointed to the edge of the jade pendant.
Jiang Xia listened to Wang Qilan's words, looked at the edge of the jade pendant, and found that it was true.
The person who made this jade pendant must have come up with a clever idea. It looks like an ornament, but there are traces of grooves on the edge. However, because the jade pendant is too small, it cannot be seen without a close and careful observation.
Like there's something else that fits perfectly with this one.
"Auntie Wang, is this person you are talking about who also wears the jade pendant from Yancheng?" Su Jin asked.
The person Wang Qilan saw wearing a similar jade pendant was probably not a coincidence.
Jiang Xia was somewhat moved after hearing what Wang Qilan said. She originally wanted to go with her uncle to his friend's place to check out the situation and let her uncle's friend who was in the jade business see where the jade was produced. She didn't expect to gain something from Wang Qilan.
"Not from Yancheng." Wang Qilan shook her head.
"It's like this. Some time ago, my man was invited by the government to participate in a project. This is the house you see now. It's a government project called "commodity housing". Shangjing City is the first pilot place. They built this kind of residential area, and the effect is quite good. Yancheng is the second planned pilot place." Wang Qilan said.
"When my husband attended a meeting on this project, I went with him. I saw that one of the people attending the meeting was wearing this kind of jade pendant around his neck."
"From my accent, I can tell that guy is not from Yancheng. He should be from Shangjing. Judging from the way he dresses, he should come from a well-off family." Wang Qilan looked at Jiang Xia and said.
"People from Shangjing City?" Jiang Xia was slightly surprised when he heard Wang Qilan's words.
The more Jiang Xia listened to what Wang Qilan said, the more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed to him. Old Mrs. Jiang had never left Jiangcheng in her entire life. When her life was hard before, she worked in the brigade. Later, when she got a stable job, she became a worker again and worked until she retired and gave her job to her son.
After that, I took care of Jiang Weian's children, and basically spent all my time in Jiangcheng.
So the question is, where did an old lady who has hardly left Jiangcheng get the jade pendant from Shangjing City? And judging from the look on Old Lady Jiang's face, it was obvious that this thing was not obtained through formal channels.
"Xia Xia, how about I call my man next time and ask him to help you find out. I'll call you when I find out." Wang Qilan asked Jiang Xia. Looking at Jiang Xia's expression, she felt that this matter should be very important to Jiang Xia.
