Chapter 9 The First Appearance
Fuxiang Yinlou is located in the middle of several gold jewelry stores, with an antique store that has a very historical vicissitudes.
But compared with the treatment he received in state-owned business, Song Yi is now like he has arrived in heaven. The 27 or 28-year-old female clerk did not look down on him because of his youth, but instead asked him enthusiastically what he needed.
"Can you make inlays in your store?" Song Yi asked. The atmosphere here made him feel relaxed.
She is quite skilled in her business and nodded immediately, "Yes, what do you need to inlay, is it your own style or what?"
"I want to make jade inlays. The style has been designed. I want to hire the best master. When will I get it as soon as possible? I'm anxious to use it. Do you see if I can do it tomorrow?" Song Yi looked very anxious and wanted to see what she reacted.
Sure enough, her expression was a little embarrassed, "So anxious! Can you take a few days off? For specific reasons, I have to ask the master in the store, but generally speaking, I can't get it the next day."
"Then forget it, don't bother your master! This way! I'll buy it back and inlay myself." Song Yi didn't plan to let others do inlays, so he made such strict requirements. Generally speaking, top inlay masters need to make an appointment. First of all, it depends on whether he is willing to take it. Secondly, these masters are often busy with the work they take. It would be great if they can take it out in one week, let alone.
Hearing that he said this, the female clerk was relieved, and did not ignore him because of his young age. She continued to ask enthusiastically, "Do you want gold or something?"
"It's good to have 18k white gold." Song Yi replied.
This type of thing commonly used for inlay is like gold and is the most basic commodity. Fuxiang Silver House is not short of it, and the price is lower than the craft store that Song Yi just asked about.
Song Yi rushed home in a hurry, so he didn't bother with her much. He took out all the money and bought a few grams of platinum, and then went home directly.
As a result, his small treasury, which was not large, was completely emptied. If he couldn't get money, he wouldn't even have to go to Yunnan.
Walking home all the way, Song Yi was also thinking in his heart about how to operate the next step, and there should be no mistakes in any link.
After arriving home, grandma He Yufen couldn't help but blame him softly as soon as she saw him, "Looking at you, you're sweating profusely, I've asked you to bring an umbrella out."
Song Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, Baoqing has an umbrella anyway!"
Grandma looked at him with a smile, "The girl from the Lin family is a good girl, dignified, generous, well-educated, and beautiful. She is in good condition. Xiaoyi, you have to keep a close eye on her."
"I know grandma likes her! Grandma, don't worry, as long as I'm here, she can't escape." Song Yi is now super thick-skinned and does not feel ashamed of speaking.
Grandma smiled even happier, "That's good, I'm waiting to hug my great-grandson."
"This is not that fast!" Song Yi was very angry.
"Today's exam is not difficult!" Grandma then remembered that he was taking the college entrance examination today.
Song Yi said confidently, "It's not difficult. After the afternoon exam, you only need to wait for the notice from Donghai University."
His confidence infected grandma, and her voice became louder, "That's good! Xiaoyi first washes his hands and sweats, and it will start to eat later. Grandma will make you delicious food in the evening."
Song Yi first went back to his room to put the bought platinum, then went down to wash his hands and have dinner. After that, Song Yi took a nap under the supervision of his grandmother, got up and went to school to take the last political exam.
There is nothing to say about the political exam. Usually, the teacher will answer the questions that he should do, and it is even more difficult for him to answer a few practical political questions.
After taking a bus home after the exam, Song Yi was the first to report the good news to his grandmother. The art department did not have too high requirements for cultural scores. He had passed his professional exam, and it was also a sure thing to go to Donghai University.
When my parents and grandfather came back from get off work, the first question was always about Song Yi's exam situation, and he answered it like memorizing the letter, which finally added a little joy to the family and relaxed the tense emotions of the elders. But the careful Song Yi still found that the disharmonious atmosphere was filled with the house, and the source was undoubtedly the grandfather's affairs in the museum.
After the exam was over, Song Yi became completely free, and Su Yalan asked about his plan, "When will Xiaoyi go to Yunnan?"
"I'll learn about the situation there first, and go there in a few days!" Song Yi replied. The real reason was that he had not obtained money now and his grandfather's affairs had not been handled yet. Of course, he couldn't just go there like this.
"That's OK!" Su Yalan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Dad seems to have been there!" Song Yi regretted it after he finished speaking.
"Don't mention him. I lost all my salary for several months when I went to Yunnan!" Su Yalan was angry when she mentioned this, and her eyes looked at Song Mingjie with a different taste.
"It's okay! My dad has lost little, and everyone else has spent a few years of salary." Song Yi smiled. He knew very well about his dad's visit to Yunnan. The gambling stone was gambled by Song Mingjie when he went to Yunnan for inspection. Song Mingjie bought eight such black gambling stones. The other few broke the stones and were still stones. The rest were hard and not smashed. He brought it back as a souvenir and reminded him that the expert should not go to gambling stones easily. The experts of their group basically fell on the gambling stones. The most one gambled a stone worth more than 100,000 yuan, but the result was a dazzling white stone inside.
What Song Mingjie never expected was that there was jade in the black gambling stone he brought back, which made Song Yi cheaper. Song Yi didn't plan to say this secret. Speaking for his father at this time would make up for the guilt in his heart.
Fortunately, Su Yalan was not entangled in this, and instead told Song Yi not to be too proud of his time during the holidays, and to pay attention to safety when traveling. As for whether he would learn from Song Mingjie to bet on stones, she was not worried at all. She had no money to see what he would be using to bet on.
Song Yi then asked Song Mingjie very seriously about the precautions when going to Yunnan. No matter what, he always had to do it. He also planned to learn more about the current situation of gambling stones from Song Mingjie. After all, he really gambling stones in 2003.
Song Shibo was not in a good mood, so he went to the studio below after dinner.
Song Yi took the time to call He Jian and Lin Baoqing respectively and asked about their exam situation. Both of them felt fine. They both said that the situation was similar to what they expected, so Song Yi didn't say much about the exam or other bad things.
Song Yi adjusted the alarm clock and got up in the middle of the night, then quietly touched the basement, preparing to complete the inlay of these two jade jewelry.
But when he turned on the light in the basement, he saw a piece of porcelain that had not been before. Song Yi was very familiar with the things in the underground studio. At this time, one more thing would naturally appear abrupt.
Song Yi has been very nervous recently, so he naturally thinks of his grandfather’s recent troubles. He also thinks of his grandfather staying in the studio last night. Could it be that the cause of the incident was because of this thing?
Song Yi suddenly forgot his purpose of coming down. While secretly guessing in his heart, he carefully examined the porcelain.
