Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel

"The villain has no acquaintances outside the house. He accidentally broke the lady's jade cup the day before yesterday. He wanted to make amends and went to find some repair materials."

Chu Zheng did not hide anything and told the truth.

He had already anticipated this situation when he asked Xiaocai for the jade lamp fragments, so he wasn't too nervous.

Song Lingxue's eyebrows moved: "Where is Yuzhan now?"

Chu Zheng took out a cloth bag from his arms and offered it with both hands.

The transparent jade cup has been restored to its original shape, and the cracks are covered with gold threads. From the outside, there are no flaws, and it is even more noble than before.

However, there are still faint cracks visible inside the cup, like ice cracks. It can only be used as a decoration at best and cannot be used to hold drinks.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary repair methods to achieve this level, and Chu Zheng himself is very satisfied.

He just repaired this jade lamp last night, which provided him with thirty experience points.

In the past few days, he also found out some panel information.

Not all repairs will result in an increase in experience points. He tried breaking a porcelain bowl on purpose and then repaired it, but there was no reaction to the panel.

Even after repairing the broken tables and chairs in the filthy room, they failed to provide him with experience points.

As experience increases, the panel seems to have its own set of judgment rules.

The jade cup turned back and forth on her slender fingertips. After a moment, Song Lingxue stroked the golden thread on the wall of the cup and said slowly:

"Where does this golden thread come from?"

Although these gold threads are not a large amount, they are not something that a slave can take out casually.

"It's the money I saved in the past."

As a domestic slave, my predecessor had a monthly allowance of silver. Although it was not much, it was still a considerable amount of money saved over the years. I originally wanted to save it to redeem myself, but I did not expect that it would eventually be used on this jade lamp.

In order to collect the gold threads for repair, Chu Zheng spent most of his savings.

Song Lingxue put the jade cup into her sleeve and asked casually: "When did you learn this craft?"

"I read it in a book." Chu Zheng raised his head and glanced at his sleeves vaguely, feeling a little distressed.

If there hadn't been this turmoil, he would have thought about waiting for a while and no one would think of exchanging the jade cup for something.

"It seems like you work hard on weekdays."

After boasting, Song Lingxue brought the topic back on track again: "Where did those immortal sect classics come from?"

This is the most important thing.

"The classics were given to me by the second lady on the eve of her departure." Chu Zheng answered truthfully.

Strictly speaking, there is not much substantial and important content in those books, and there is nothing to hide.

"Before Lingqing left home, did she look for you?" Song Lingxue frowned slightly, and Song Yun stood up straight beside her and opened her eyes wide with disbelief.

He has such a good skin, is he really that powerful?

It's just a young lady. She has relatively few contacts with men on weekdays, so it's inevitable that she'll have some thoughts for a while.

But who is the second lady? He was born with immortal bones and was a god-like figure. Within the Immortal Sect, the people who came and went were all immortals. He had never seen any color, so how could he look at Chu Zheng in a different light?

Song Yun took two steps back, his heart felt like a huge stone was pressing on him, and his face was heavy.

"What did Lingqing tell you? Why did you leave these things for you?" Song Lingxue immediately asked, wanting to know more details.

"The second lady didn't say anything. She just asked me what my wish was. She remembered that I had served for several years and helped me fulfill one of my wishes."

Chu Zheng told the whole story, and then added: "The villain knows that his talent is dull and it is difficult to become a great person, so he ordered a few miscellaneous books to relieve his boredom."

"You want these books?"

Song Lingxue looked slightly surprised and couldn't help but said: "Why don't you take the opportunity to ask for a sum of gold and silver to redeem yourself? Or maybe a magic elixir to extend your life."

Going out to become an idle rich man, buying land and marrying a wife is better than being a slave in the house anyway.

"Both of my parents died when I was young. It was the Song family that gave me a way to survive. After I left the house, I didn't know what to do."

Chu Zheng lowered his head and sighed softly, then raised his head and looked at Song Lingxue:

"After the Second Young Lady's advice, I realized that this jade lamp belongs to the Immortal Family. I accidentally broke it into pieces. It will be irreparable even if I die. The Eldest Young Lady is kind and spared my life. I should know how to repay my kindness and I will do it one day in the future." Do your best."

In Chu Zheng's view, his predecessor was somewhat ignorant of praise.

The tactic of a man who is flexible and flexible, whose face is worth a lot of money, and who plays the emotional card cruelly, is effective no matter in any era, especially for a girl who is not yet twenty years old.

Song Yun on the side came to his senses and looked at Chu Zheng with a sincere expression, warning signs flashing in his heart.

wrong……

This was definitely not the Chu Zheng he knew.

In that familiar face, he could vaguely see a hint of adultery.

broken……

Song Yun quickly turned his head to look at Song Lingxue. Sure enough, although Song Lingxue's expression did not change, her eyes softened.

For a moment, Song Yun was sweating profusely. In the past, Chu Zheng was just a stubborn person who had nothing but appearances. He had never felt such a threat before.

In the past, Song Yun was always on tenterhooks when the eldest lady showed her kindness. What he was most afraid of was that one day Chu Zheng suddenly thought about it.

Now, what he was most worried about has happened. Chu Zheng may have really thought about accepting the olive branch offered by the eldest lady.

This fasting really made him learn to behave.

"That's all, now that the matter has been made clear, it has nothing to do with you here."

Song Lingxue waved her hand: "Since it was a gift from Lingqing, you can keep those books."

"Miss Mingjian."

Chu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and was about to leave, when he was stopped by Song Lingxue again:

"To repair the gold thread of the jade lamp, I went to the accountant's office to fill in the accounts myself. I used the treasury to allocate funds. I overreported twenty taels of silver. I will approve it for you and it will be regarded as a reward."

Song Lingxue's eyes narrowed slightly and she said calmly: "I have already punished you for breaking the jade cup. Don't worry about it. If you repair the jade cup, you will be considered as meritorious."

"Don't dare to take credit for things that are your duty."

Chu Zheng bowed and said, "Thank you, Miss, for the reward."

Seeing that he did not refuse the silver reward, Song Lingxue couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. She looked more pleased with Chu Zheng and spoke again:

"It's a pity that your skills have been buried. You don't have to live in a filthy house. Go to the treasury. There happen to be some ancient gadgets that need to be repaired. I'll give you twice as much silver."

"Thank you, Miss!"

Chu Zheng's eyes brightened. He was worried that the dirty room was a bit useless, and thinking about how to arrange it in the future, when he fell asleep and came to the pillow.

The errands in the treasury are different from those in the dirty house and Tianyuan. Those who can work there must be the core figures in the treasury and are the most trusted.

Most of the treasures of the Song family were placed in it, full of unknowns. In comparison, the filthy room, which had been thoroughly explored, was unattractive.

"Miss, this is his one-sided statement after all..."

Song Yun took a deep breath, and before he finished speaking, Song Lingxue shook her head and interrupted:

"There are many people in the city, and Chu Zheng's whereabouts can be known by just checking. You go and verify it, and report back to me after you find out."
