Chapter 1: Bonus Jade Pendant()

There was a continuous spring rain in March, and it rained continuously for five or six days. It finally cleared up in the past two days; the sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was caressing. As the weather got warmer, people took off their thick cotton-padded clothes and happily

Put on a light jacket and T-shirt and live happily in the sunshine and breeze. The warm sunshine and light breeze are really comfortable!

At the Huimin Clinic not far from Star City University, as the weather improved, business seemed to be booming. The injection room was already filled with five or six patients hanging from water.

Xu Ze carefully inserted the needle of the last patient, adjusted the drip speed of the liquid, and then said hello to the nurse Sister Luo, then walked out, walked to the consulting room, and looked at Dr. Zhang who was reading a book.

He said cautiously: "Mr. Zhang, I have something to do tonight, so I may not come over tonight!"

"Well...go get busy if you have something to do. Don't delay your studies!" Dr. Zhang looked up at Xu Ze, who had a humble look on his face, nodded with a smile, then opened the drawer, took out an envelope and handed it over: "This is

It’s last month’s salary, collect it!”

Looking at the thin envelope, Xu Ze's eyes lit up slightly, and he secretly thought that this was what he was waiting for. He took the envelope with a smile and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, I'll go first!"

He happily counted the eight hundred-dollar bills in the envelope, and then went to the cash machine at the school gate to withdraw all the 500 yuan he had saved for a long time. After that, Xu Ze rode his bicycle and went straight to Tongzi Street.

And go.

Tongzi Street is the largest antique and jade street in Star City. Xu Ze has accompanied his classmates here several times before, so he is quite familiar with it.

But today he is not here to hang out. Today is the birthday of his girlfriend Zhang Linyun. As a boyfriend, he must prepare an unusual gift, so Xu Ze has been frugal for a month and plans to spend money today.

Go and please your girlfriend.

He knew that Lin Yun had always wanted a jade Buddha pendant a long time ago, but because some of the better jade pendants were quite expensive, he had only looked at them with envy and never thought of buying them.

As for Xu Zejin, he planned to pick one for Linyun as a birthday gift to surprise her. After all, they had been together for several months and had never given Linyun anything.

He knew that there was an older jade shop here. This shop had a history of more than 80 years on Tongzi Street. The shop owner's craftsmanship was inherited from his ancestors. He had accompanied several classmates who lived in Star City to buy jade here. This shop

The store is not big, but several classmates who know the ins and outs of Xingcheng have made it very clear that although the store may not look big, it has always been a good place to shop, and it is much cheaper than buying from jewelry stores outside.

So since Xu Ze made up his mind to buy a jade pendant, of course he took the money and went straight here.

Tongzi Street was always lively. Xu Ze pushed his bicycle along and walked around for a while before he found the antique small signboard of Wangji Jade Shop among the colorful signboards on both sides.

After parking the car at the door, Xu Ze pushed open the somewhat old glass and wooden door and walked in.

Seeing the familiar shopkeeper, Xu Ze breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had found the right place. The last time he came here, it was also this gray-haired old man who was guarding the shop.

When the shop owner saw someone coming in, he nodded towards Xu Ze and said with a smile: "This classmate, what do you want to buy?"

Xu Ze walked over, smiled at the shopkeeper and said: "Old man, I want to buy a jade pendant, the one in the shape of a jade Buddha!"

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, looked at Xu Ze, and suddenly laughed and said: "The man is carrying Guanyin and the woman is carrying Buddha. Do you want to buy a jade Buddha? Give it to your girlfriend!"

"Haha..." Xu Ze touched the back of his head and nodded with a dry smile.

The shop owner looked at Xu Ze who was obviously embarrassed and said with a chuckle: "What's the point of being embarrassed? Tell me what price you want to buy, and I'll help you pick out a few!"

"Well... around seven or eight hundred will be enough!"

"Seven to eight hundred..." The shopkeeper touched a few sparse stubble on his chin, then leaned down and took out three or four boxes from the counter. He opened the lids one by one and put them on the counter.

He went up and said with a smile: "Take a look, these are all worth more than 700 or 800, tell me which one you like. Since you came to me directly, of course you know that I will not give you the price!"

"That's right!" Xu Ze smiled and nodded: "I accompanied a few classmates to buy it, so I came directly to you. Of course I feel relieved."

Immediately, he was not polite. He lay on the counter and looked at it carefully. These jade Buddhas were all light green jade, and one was milky white jade. Xu Ze frowned and looked at it for a while. In his opinion,

, the light green jadeite species are extremely beautiful, but it seems that Linyun likes that kind of white jadeite.

So, Xu Ze looked at the white jade Buddha, which seemed quite beautiful, and asked the shop owner, "How much does this white one cost?"

"Well...this white jade pendant is eight hundred and five hundred!" the shop owner laughed.

"Eight hundred and five hundred..." Xu Ze frowned and thought about the thirteen hundred yuan in his pocket. He secretly thought that it would be better to save some for living expenses. Then he looked up at the shop owner and said, "Old man, it's cheap.

Want to order? Eight hundred and fifty is a bit expensive..."

The shop owner looked at Xu Ze and chuckled: "For this jade, eight hundred and fifty is already a very fair price. I can guarantee that if you go to a jewelry store outside, you will never be able to get this jade without more than one thousand and fifty."

Since you have been to my place, you should know that all prices here are real, no bargaining!"

"But it's really expensive." Looking at the white jade pendant on the table, Xu Ze hesitated.

Seeing Xu Ze's hesitation, the shopkeeper smiled and took out two boxes from the counter and put them in front of Xu Ze. He said with a smile: "Well, look at these two boxes. They are both white jade. One is six hundred and eighty, and the other is seventy.

One hundred and five."

Xu Ze looked at the two white jade Buddhas and was really not satisfied. This one costing 850 yuan was obviously much more beautiful. Since he was buying it for Linyun, of course he had to choose a better one and not save a hundred bucks.

money.

At that moment, he shook his head slightly, looked at the shopkeeper without giving up and said: "Uncle, you can make it cheaper. I really like this one better!"

"Ha... you know the rules of our store, we really don't bargain." The store owner shook his head slightly, looked at Xu Ze, and said with a smile: "I can also see that you really want to buy it. If you are sure to buy this, then

I can give you a gift."

After that, the shopkeeper took out another small silk bag from the counter, took out a light green jade pendant and put it on the counter, saying: "The so-called man carries Guanyin and the woman carries Buddha. I don't think you have a protective Guanyin either.

Here is a piece of Guanyin jade pendant that came with my purchase. Although the carving is not very good, the quality of the jade is still acceptable. If you like it, you can take it together. It will match a pair, but the price of 850 is not worth a penny.

few!"

Looking at the jade pendant in front of him, Xu Ze sighed lightly. The jade looked quite transparent, but the carving couldn't be said to be bad, it could only be said to be very bad, because if you look closely,

No one can tell that this is Guanyin.

But there is nothing he can do. Xu Ze knows that the shop owner is telling the truth. Wang Ji never bargains on jade. Now that he can earn a jade pendant as a gift, it is already pretty good. He might as well get a pair. Lin Yun brings Maitreya Buddha.

, I take Guanyin with me, so we can be considered a couple!

Thinking of this, Xu Ze felt sweet in his heart and stopped worrying about it. Anyway, he still had a few hundred, so he should save some for now!

Immediately he paid the money, hung the light green jade pendant that didn't look like Guanyin around his neck, then treasured the box containing the white jade Buddha, thanked the shop owner, and rode back happily.

Go to school.

With a face full of joy, Xu Ze rode quickly on the way back to school. After riding for a while, a trace of sweat gradually appeared on his body, and the sweat slowly flowed down his chest and back, gradually moistening the skin on his chest.

Jade pendant.

But he didn't notice that the light green jade pendant hanging around his neck suddenly flashed a strange light after coming into contact with the sweat, and then the entire jade pendant began to become transparent, with a burst of colorful colors inside.

The light slowly changed, and after two seconds, the light slowly disappeared, and the entire jade pendant returned to its original appearance, except that a strange message appeared inside: The system carrier is on, waiting for activation...

Xu Ze, who was riding the bike with excitement at this time, was not aware of all this at all...

It was already half past one when I got back to school. I ate some lunch and rushed to class. Xu Ze spent the afternoon in the partial anatomy in chaos, constantly looking at the delicate box containing the Jade Buddha in his hand.

, Xu Ze's heart has always been sweet when he saw the crystal-clear jade Buddha in the box.

When Lin Yun saw this Jade Buddha, she would definitely like it very much. Thinking of Lin Yun's happy look, Xu Ze's heart also became lighter.

The boss of the dormitory, Mule, who was sitting nearby, kept giggling after looking at it all afternoon. Xu Ze, who was absent-minded, finally couldn't help but laugh. He snatched the box from Xu Ze's hand and said with a smile: "Let's see what you are doing."

What did you buy for Lin Yun? It looks so precious!"

"Hey... the mule is moving around, please return it to me quickly..." In this moment of confusion, Xu Ze saw that the box in his hand was missing, and he hurriedly said nervously: "Don't break it..."

Seeing Xu Ze's nervous look, Mule carefully opened the box in his hand, looked at the crystal clear white jade Buddha, and couldn't help but exclaimed. He looked up at Xu Ze and said: "You used to be very frugal, but I didn't expect to treat Lin Yun so much."

I'm really willing to take it. If this jade Buddha doesn't cost more than a thousand dollars, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it. Last time I saw a similar one, it cost more than 1,800!"

Xu Ze carefully snatched the box back from the mule, quickly closed it, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's not much different, as long as Linyun likes it!"

"Tsk tsk... You kid, you really can't see that this is the case!" The mule pretended to sigh twice and said with a smile: "Okay, kid, let's have some fun today, it's best to strike while the iron is hot... Haha

…”

Xu Ze turned a blind eye to the mule's teasing. He just carefully put away the treasure box and put it in his pocket, waiting for the get out of class to end.

After finally waiting for the bell to ring for the end of get out of class, Xu Ze ran excitedly towards Linyun and their dormitory building No. 10. He had kept the surprise for the whole day and finally brought it to her at this time.

Xu Ze had already asked that Lin Yun had no classes this afternoon. She should be dressing up in the dormitory and getting ready to go out for dinner at this time.

Xu Ze ran to Dormitory Building No. 10, excitedly took out his second-hand Nokia, and dialed the familiar number; however, the familiar ringtone did not come from the microphone, but a depressing female computer voice:

"Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off. If you need..."

Suddenly, Xu Ze was stunned, "Shut down the phone? What's going on?"

"She must have forgotten to charge it!" Xu Ze thought for a moment, smiled as if suddenly, and then pressed another set of familiar numbers.

"Beep...beep...beep..." Xu Ze waited for a long time, but no one answered. Just when he felt more and more uneasy, a familiar voice finally came from over there.

"Xuanzi, is Linyun here?" Xu Ze asked quickly after hearing this familiar voice with some doubts and uneasiness.

Xuanzi's voice seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then he replied: "Well... Linyun is not here, I... I haven't seen her since this afternoon!"

"Lin Yun isn't here?" Hearing Xuanzi's somewhat uncomfortable tone, Xu Ze felt more and more uneasy. He pondered for a moment and asked again: "Then do you know where she went? Her mobile phone is turned off!

"

"I don't know, maybe the phone is out of battery. How about you wait and try again?" Xuanzi said with a dry smile.

Xu Ze took a breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said calmly: "Okay, Xuanzi, thank you. If you see Linyun, can you ask her to give me a call?"

"Okay, I still have something to do, so let's do this for now..." As the voice fell, a disconnection sound of "beep beep..." came from the microphone quickly.
