As Hang Lixing spoke, he took out a piece of jade from his arms.
The jade was pure white and flawless, engraved with patterns of fortune and luck. The carvings were so exquisite that it was obvious that they were made by a famous master.
Although the meaning is ordinary, the carving and jade quality are indeed unique.
Mr. Lin glanced at the jade pendant, but he was not as happy as Hang Lixing had imagined.
"This jade should have been given to someone else by this old man. How could it fall into your hands?" Mr. Lin sat there like Lao Zhong, with a suffocating aura and a strong sense of displeasure.
"Gift?" Hang Lixing was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand me. I just heard that your jade was stolen by a beggar, so I wanted to find it back. I didn't know that this jade was a gift to him..."
When Xiao Cunyu heard this, he understood how Hang Lixing had managed to get in.
Looking at the jade, she touched the tip of her nose guiltily.
That year, a wealthy businessman in Yuzhou was ecstatic when he had a son. He planted a lakeside with lush flowers and grass to express his joy.
As spring is in full bloom, countless scholars and writers come here to visit.
That year, she was entrusted by a ghost to find a famous teacher for the ghost's son who was left in the world. So she sneaked in, learned about the character and habits of those literati, and hoped to find someone who was easy to deceive.
During those months, the magnificent scenery on the lake remained.
Because she hung out there all day, she got to know a lot of people, including a man on the pleasure boat who was exactly to her liking.
There are about ten people, both men and women, young and old, each with their own strengths.
Among them are heroes from the Jianghu who only love to drink and play finger-guessing games, there are musicians from the music academy whose music sounds ethereal, and there are even dancers from brothels who perform but not sell their bodies, and they are graceful and elegant.
Mr. Yunhu is one of them.
He and another pedantic old scholar, one writing inscriptions and the other painting, the scene of their unrestrained and carefree demeanor is truly unforgettable.
She took advantage of her good looks to sneak in with her ghostly son, and even managed to make them happy with her nonsense.
After much difficulty, he managed to achieve his "performance goal" by being accepted as a disciple by another lay Buddhist.
After the other party kowtowed and saluted, he changed the subject and Mr. Yunhu actually asked her if she was willing to be his disciple!
Even if she only looked at his face, she knew that this Yunhu layman must be extraordinary and was definitely a world-famous scholar. If she became his disciple, then from now on, every move and every word must be in consideration of the old man's face and she must not act arbitrarily.
Naturally, I chose to run away.
This white jade was the gift the old man gave her at that time.
Of course it cannot be collected.
She ran away very decisively and left Yuzhou overnight. She didn't know what happened next and didn't care.
To her, it was all a chance encounter. Even though she had some admiration for the old man and could make friends with him, it wouldn't be enough to make her have another master or another father.
At this time, Mr. Lin glanced in the direction of Xiao Cunyu.
Then he stood up and said, "In the beginning, a beggar did take this jade pendant away. However, I felt that it would be useless to keep it if it could not be delivered to the right person. I remembered someone who said that the beggar had a lonely face and was afraid that he would be unable to avoid disasters and misfortunes in his life. So I felt pity for him and decided not to take it back. I hope that the beggar can use this jade to exchange for money and improve his family status."
"Mr. Lin, this jade was purchased from the other party by the younger generation of the clan, so it is not considered... against Mr. Lin's wishes..." Hang Lixing said immediately.
"I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."
