Nowadays, it is rumored that there are four wonders in the world, which are also known as the four treasures - the pearl of the South China Sea, the cordyceps of Kunlun, the snow lotus of the Saibei, and the red soil of the Central Plains. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Among them, the pearls of the South China Sea are also known as the pearls of the night, and it is said that only among the giant mussels that are more than 50 years old, can they shine at night. In a dynasty a long time ago, only emperors could use it, but now it is a legend in the market.

Although the snow lotus in the north is a famous product in medicine and benefits the world, it also has those that are born on the top of the mountain and are not easily accessible to mortals. It is even rumored that the legendary emperor who ruled the four seas at the beginning was able to look down on this snowy lotus that mortals had never even seen. However, even the Great Emperor is a legendary figure, not to mention this seemingly nonexistent Snow Lotus.

Li Hui is a good reader of military books, so his understanding of this emperor, who is almost rumored to be a god, is more real and profound than in the history books, and he is also convinced that such a military wizard like the god of war really exists.

It's just that I don't know if it's because the Central Plains is ashamed of the record for foreign occupation, or if this emperor has done something that even historians are afraid of.

Now there is only one relevant account left in the history books, so simple that there is only one record of the date and the nomadic people who came from the north, and the past is read in such a dynasty. And because of this, the emperor has become a drop in the vast sea of unheard history, and people can't even do it in reverie.

Li Hui has been stationed in Saibei all the year round, and the local rumors are closer to some reality than those in the Central Plains, such as the snow lotus that seems to be a panacea, but the effect of warming the meridians and activating the meridians and stopping bleeding and dissipating cold is wonderful. There is also a miracle effect of detoxification, although Li Hui has often heard of it, but he has never verified it with his own eyes.

And the snow lotus that is rumored to be able to make mortals become gods, the local rumor is that it is a special variety that is born on the top of Jinchuan Mountain, inaccessible, almost impossible for ordinary people to reach, and because it grows in 20 years, it blooms for only two months, and the number is very rare, ordinary people are rare in their lives.

Speaking of rare sights, before Li Hui came to Beijing at the beginning of the year, he heard that someone had purchased a large number of snow lotuses in Saibei, and some people even spent a lot of money to send people to the mountains to find them. With such a large amount of purchases, all the snow lotuses that are already small will soon be bought out, and it will be difficult for ordinary people to even see ordinary snow lotus.

After investigation, he found that it was a servant sent by the King of Huaiyang, who had just entered the capital, and Li Hui knew that the person had always been in poor health, so he guessed in his heart that someone had recommended a prescription to him, and this snow lotus was likely to become the main medicine. Since this is the case, in order to avoid trouble, Li Hui can only secretly raise the price of snow lotus, and issue a mountain closure order to restrict the behavior of picking snow lotus on the mountain, and then he did not pay much attention to it.

At this time, the interesting thing that Li Hui wanted to say to Li Jin was about the pearl of the night.

"Li Gongzi has heard of the Night Pearl?"

Li Jin nodded and said with a smile: "Although I have never been out of Beijing for a hundred miles, I can be regarded as having read a lot of books. There are mermaids in the South China Sea, crying into tears, and the night vision is brilliant. However, some of the records in the gazetteer are actually just pearls in the old mussels. ”

Li Hui nodded appreciatively at Li Jin's erudition, and then said: "Indeed, when I was a child in Jingshi when I was young, I really saw it in Yicui Tower. In order to please the favor of the Oiran, a merchant did not hesitate to reveal the heirloom in public, and that was a palm-sized pearl. After extinguishing all the candles, the light is as bright as the moonlight. ”

When Li Jin heard the word Yi Cuilou, his face turned red invisibly, and then when Li Hui hadn't noticed it, he immediately hid his gaffe.

"That's what the general said?"

Li Hui looked anxious and couldn't eat hot tofu, and said with a smile: "How can such a thing be called a joke? What I want to say is what happened recently." ”

"I heard that a strange thing happened in Nanxiang Wangfu recently. Originally, in the middle of the night, when he couldn't see his five fingers, the watchman who was patrolling the house saw that in the sky in the direction of the distant warehouse, there was a moonlight radiating from the bottom up. At the moment, I thought that the gods were married, and I worshipped this treasury for more than half an hour, but I don't know when the glory disappeared. I heard that the man prayed quietly while praying, and almost repeated most of his life's wishes. And the servants who heard about it were either scornful and believed it. Those who believe in it will go to the place where he saw the light every night and bow to the ground, and for a time the Nanxiang palace was jumped at night. ”

After Li Hui finished speaking, he still seemed to be amused by the funny scene he was thinking about. After laughing, he seemed to think of Li Jin, looked at her playfully and said, "What does Li Gongzi think? There are really immortals who have been here? Or if there is a chance, do you want to visit Li Gongzi too?"

Not to mention how Li Jin himself views this matter, the general on the other side has a clear attitude towards this matter, and it is revealed in front of Li Jin's eyes. It's just that since Li Hui suspects that Nanxiang Wangfu has privately acquired the Night Pearl, there is no need to care about it like this.

"Does the general think it's the pearl of the night? That's not surprising, everyone has a love for beauty. What's more, such a treasure, if you have the ability and have the opportunity to meet it, who doesn't want to take it for yourself?" Li Jin said the question in his heart without reservation.

Li Hui shook his head with a smile, and then said, "Of course, this has been the case since ancient times, but can Li Gongzi see which treasure that is so difficult to get hold of it and then give it to others?"

Hearing this question, Li Jin wrinkled in puzzlement, and looked at Li Hui silently with inquiring eyes.

"Of course, what I'm going to say next is just a rumor. I heard that the king of Nanxiang has been preparing a dowry for his favorite daughter since the middle of the year, but the husband has not yet been decided, and the dowry of rare treasures collected from Tiannan and Haibei has already filled the warehouse in the mansion. Therefore, some treasures that had nowhere to be placed were placed in the courtyard of the treasury at will, and that courtyard became a forbidden place in the house. It's just that I don't know who the king of Nanxiang is marrying his beloved daughter to now, and he has prepared so many good things. Why don't I try it too? Maybe I can even catch a night pearl to play with. ”

Li Hui said, and finally resumed his usual flowing tone. Li Jin didn't have the heart to complain about this at this time. Yesterday in Cining Palace, I heard with my own ears that the Queen Mother wanted to protect the media for King Huaiyang and Jing Wen. And if you want to say that the beloved daughter of King Nanxiang, she doesn't think about it at the moment except Jing Wen. In this way, is the king of Nanxiang preparing such a rich dowry because he already knows that his husband is the king of Huaiyang, afraid that his daughter will be wronged after marrying?

At the moment, I didn't know what Li Jin thought, so he opened his mouth directly.

"General, let's save some effort. The son-in-law of the king of Nanxiang has already been designated by the queen mother, I am afraid that the king of Nanxiang himself has already had a candidate in his heart, otherwise with the door of the king of Nanxiang, how could he have to go to such great trouble. ”

After Li Hui heard Li Jin's words, his expression seemed to be solemn, but Li Jin was not sure if it was his illusion, and then he looked closely, and felt that the general's expression seemed to have never changed at all.

After that, Li Jin recalled what he had just said, and immediately felt that it seemed that it was too frivolous to announce what he heard yesterday like this. It's not that there is nothing to say about this matter, besides, the marriage of these two major palaces will definitely be a well-known event in the Beijing Division later. It doesn't matter if he says it a moment earlier or later, but Li Jin really hasn't been used to talking about other people's things behind his back, so he feels very embarrassed.

Li Hui, who was opposite, didn't seem to have any interest in this topic, drinking the wine on the table alone and no longer talking. Li Jin also felt bored, and he still had a lot of things to do, so he left immediately. Li Hui didn't keep it this time, and directly called Jinyun to send off guests for him.

After Jinyun turned around, he saw that the five jars of good wine on the table had already entered the general's five internal organs temple, and he was surprised that he had never known that his general was so massive, and he still didn't look drunk at the moment.
