Lu Li and Mrs. Chen walked to Qian's jewelry store together, and they started chatting on the way.
"Does Mrs. Chen come to Chenghuang Temple often?"
Lu Li had been thinking about the City God in his heart. He also thought that the City God's surname was Lu, and it was Mrs. Chen who told Chen Changdu. His heart moved, so he asked.
When she mentioned the City God, the smile on Mrs. Chen's face grew thicker and she began to mutter: "Yes, ever since I came to Xinyang with my husband, in the past few years, I would come to the City God's Temple to burn some sticks of incense at every temple fair and pray to the City God to bless my family. Master, please keep my Chen family safe."
Lu Li smiled and said, "Mrs. Chen has a kind heart. Lord City God will definitely respond to your prayer and protect Lord Chen."
"With Mr. Lu's words, the old lady will feel at ease."
Hearing Lu Li's agreement, Mrs. Chen was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. In a happy mood, she said a few more words: "Speaking of which, since your husband came to my house, my husband has also become enlightened.
Tell me in private, let me pay homage to the City God more often, saying that if the City God protects me, it will definitely be effective, and I can pray for blessings by worshiping.
You say that this old man has not believed in ghosts and gods all his life, but he believes in ghosts when he is old. Is it funny or not? "
"Master Chen is an open-minded person. He must have realized something before he changed his mind. This is a good thing." Lu Li said with a smile, but in his heart he thought of that night's conversation under the moonlight.
In that discussion, although he did not explicitly say that Lu Chenghuang was Taoist Lu, Chen Changdu was an experienced man and could definitely guess the meaning behind his words.
So after returning home, he asked his wife to pay homage to the City God.
"It seems that even if Chen Changdu is an upright official, he is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt." Lu Li sighed inwardly.
Chen Changdu has been an official for more than ten years, but he has been in the position of county magistrate and has not been promoted.
Is it because he has no talent and cannot work diligently and love the people?
I¡¯m afraid not.
Today, I walked around Xinyang County. Most of the people here have smiles on their faces, and few of them have good taste. If the government affairs were not managed very well, it would be impossible to have such a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere.
So what I saw through these, and the contacts I had in these days.
Lu Li originally thought that Chen Changdu was a scholar who was honest and loved the people, had strong feelings and had a stubborn personality.
¡°But after listening to Mrs. Chen¡¯s words, the other party is also aware of the truth, but she just doesn¡¯t want to harm others because of her own selfish desires.
"But it's better this way. Master Chen is really worthy of my close friendship." Lu Li valued Chen Changdu a little more in his heart.
Although he cannot be a good person and does not want to be a good person, he is always willing to associate with good people.
The journey passed with Lu Li and Mrs. Chen chatting, and before they knew it, Qian's Jewelry Shop was right in front of them.
"Oh, Mrs. Chen, Mr. Lu, you two are here."
This time, Shopkeeper Qian didn't doze off. He was calculating accounts at the counter. When he looked up and saw Lu Li and Mrs. Chen, he immediately put on a smile and greeted them.
Shopkeeper Qian knows Mrs. Chen.
In fact, this Qian's jewelry shop is the property of Cao's family, the wealthy family in the county government. How can people here not know the county magistrate's wife.
"Shopkeeper Qian, I'm just here to accompany Mr. Lu to buy some jade materials and pick out a few hairpins, mainly Mr. Lu."
Mrs. Chen has also visited the shops here several times. Although Chen Changdu is an honest official, his monthly salary is quite large, and his expenses are not large. He can always save some money to buy some jewelry for his wife.
After listening to Mrs. Chen¡¯s words, Shopkeeper Qian looked at Lu Li again, and was surprised that Mr. Lu was so highly regarded by the county magistrate. Even the county magistrate¡¯s wife respected him so much, but his face was even more attentive.
"Mr. Lu, this is the store that has recently purchased some precious jade. You can see if there is anything you want. We also have some jade materials. If you like it, sir, you can buy it back too."
"Oh, there are some other gems that have been banned, I want to take a look."
Lu Li also became interested after hearing this.
He just got a piece of spiritual jade at Zhu Mansion, which was a time of great luck. He didn't expect to get another piece of spiritual jade at Qian's Jewelry Shop today.
Everyone entered the shop.
Lu Li went directly to shopkeeper Qian to see the newly purchased gems. Accompanied by Xiao Huan, Mrs. Chen selected some hairpins at the counter. Her eyes glanced at Lu Li from time to time, curious in her heart which gems attracted the attention. This Mr. Lu is so interested.
Lu Li was disappointed after all.
Although these new gems are allHigh-quality jade, but no piece of jade contains spiritual energy.
But he is not depressed either.
Being able to get a piece of spiritual jade today is a great blessing and I am happy enough.
"There is still nothing Lu wants." Lu Li shook his head and said to shopkeeper Qian next to him.
Shopkeeper Qian's heart twitched when he heard this, but he kept a smile on his face: "Sir, please forgive me, they are all small shops, and they can't afford fine jade. I let you down twice, which really makes me feel ashamed."
Lu Li waved his hand: "That's not necessary. Lu said that the jade he was looking for is rare in the world, so it's normal not to find it. Shopkeeper Qian can just pay more attention to it in the future.
correct.
Lu has used up the jade material he bought earlier. Shopkeeper Qian just said that he has bought a batch of jade material, so he should buy some more. "
Shopkeeper Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he didn't want to offend Lu Li, a county official, and he was an honored guest of the Zhu family. It was lucky that the other party didn't blame him.
Hearing that Lu Li wanted to buy some jade materials, he nodded quickly, and then said to the waiter next to him: "You guys hurry up and move the jade materials out and let Mr. Lu choose."
The two guys were more alert at this time, and without any hesitation, they went directly to the backyard warehouse and helped transport the jade materials.
There is more jade material this time.
It seems that the season is about to change, so I bought some more and prepared to polish them into jade jewelry.
Lu Li understood now when he thought that it was the spring equinox.
It¡¯s spring.
It¡¯s the season when everything revives and flowers bloom. The gentlemen and ladies in the city have been holding back all winter and are already ready to take action. Why don¡¯t you prepare more gifts?
"I want all these low-grade jade materials, and the medium-grade materials" Lu Li pointed to the pile of jade materials in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I want all the medium-grade materials too."
Jade talismans made from inferior jade have a shelf life of only one year.
If it is only used for emergencies, a year will be enough.
But today, Lu Li also realized that there was something wrong with the talisman given by the Zhu Mansion.
After all, it is a gift for someone else. It is only valid for one year, so this time I decided to buy some medium jade materials and refine some long-lasting jade talismans so that I can give them away to others in the future.
"As for the Zhu Mansion one, I'll give you a medium jade talisman to replace it when I have the opportunity in the future."
After all, he got the spiritual jade from the Zhu family, so Lu Li still wanted to make more compensation to the Zhu family and his son.
