Hao Jun shook his head, "Don't hide it from Miss Shen, I won't stay here for many days, and the emperor doesn't know when he will come back from his patrol, so I don't have time to wait." ”

"Qin Ye doesn't know, the emperor is on patrol, how complicated the honor guard is, don't look out for several days, in fact, you only walk thirty or forty miles a day, if you go on horseback, you can catch up in two days. When the emperor hears that there is auspicious Rui in the world, he will definitely summon you immediately. ”

Hao Jun pondered, if he can get in touch with Qianlong, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money, who doesn't know that Qianlong is the biggest collector ever?

However, Qin Rui made it very clear when he reached an agreement with Hao Jun, requiring Hao Jun to visit his old friends in Beijing every day in a high-profile manner, and the time in the public eye every day should not be less than two hours, Hao Jun couldn't do without it!

Shen Mingji sensed that Hao Jun had the intention of dedicating the Night Pearl to the emperor, so he lost no time in saying: "Qin Ye's other eight Night Pearls, can you open the eyes of the slave family?"

Hao Jun nodded, "Of course you can." It's just that I have to urgently look for my old friend in Beijing, and I can't go to the emperor to dedicate it. ”

"I guess Qin Ye took out the Qilin Night Pearl casually, and it is likely that there is a more shocking auspicious Night Pearl in his pocket, if it is enough to arouse the emperor's interest, according to the emperor's temperament, he will definitely return to Beijing immediately, and you don't have to leave Beijing. ”

Hao Jun felt incomprehensible, "No, right? The emperor just needs to get the things, there is no need to work for the people, right?"

"That's not what I said, whenever there is auspiciousness in the world, it is often a good omen for the prosperity of the country and the people, and the emperor will solemnly accept the auspicious rui in the Jinluan Palace. ”

Hao Jun felt that it made sense, took out all the ten night pearls, put them on the table and stabilized them, and asked Shen Mingji to watch them.

Shen Mingji was a little uncalm in the face of the ten night pearls, and when he looked at Hao Jun, his eyes flickered a little.

Hao Jun was puzzled: "Miss Shen, what's wrong?"

Shen Mingji smiled, "I'm thinking, Qin Ye is really confident, these ten night pearls were exposed without defense, and they were casually put in their pockets like that before, could it be that the legendary artist is bold?"

Hao Jun also smiled, "Miss Shen dared to invite me to her home just after she saw me once, could it be that she is also a legendary artist who is bold?"

"The slave family only subsidized those jade dealers for a bag of rice, but Qin Ye subsidized them for twenty taels of silver, Qin Ye is so anxious and righteous, it is enough to show that he is not a villain. ”

"That's not necessarily, some people do too many bad things, and they will go around doing some small good deeds to seek psychological comfort. ”

Shen Mingji's smile froze for a moment, and soon regained his smile, "Is Qin Ye a person who asks for psychological comfort?"

Hao Jun still kept smiling, "Coincidentally, I'm not." ”

The two men looked at each other and laughed heartily at the same time, further trusting each other.

Shen Mingji examined these night pearls one by one, and Hao Jun didn't say much, to see if the things he sketched could be seen by her, which was equivalent to verifying his level of fraud.

In the end, Shen Mingji picked up the night pearl that outlined the arrow tower, "Master Qin, do you also think this is the arrow tower?"

"Well, this is indeed the Arrow Tower. ”

Zhengyang Gate, commonly known as the front gate, the front door building, the big front gate, formerly known as the Li main gate, is the south gate of the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is one of the "nine gates of the Beijing Division". It integrates the Zhengyangmen Tower, the Arrow Tower and the Urn City, and is a complete ancient defensive building system. The city tower, the arrow tower is magnificent in scale, the shape is tall, and the urn city is majestic.

Zhengyangmen is the largest city gate in the capital, and the Zhengyangmen Arrow Tower is the tallest arrow tower in the capital. Zhengyangmen Arrow Tower has been a symbol of the capital since the day it was built, and its image is on the cigarette of Daqianmen.

Hao Jun chose the Arrow Tower as the image he sketched at that time, not only because it was a symbol of the capital, but also because it was going to suffer a fire this year!

The Arrow Tower has suffered many fires, the first of which was in April of the 38th year of Wanli (1610) of the Ming Dynasty. There is a record of this fire in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" volume 29 "Five Elements Chronicles": "On the night of Ding Chou in April of the 38th year, the Zhengyangmen Arrow Tower fired". It can be seen that the fire occurred at night, which may have been caused by accident, and only affected the arrow tower.

The second time was April 29 in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty (1644). That night, when Li Zicheng led his troops to evacuate the capital, he set fire to the palace and the Nine Gates Tower in the inner city.

The third time was in May of the 45th year of Qianlong (1780) of the Qing Dynasty. The cause was an accidental fire in a shop room outside Zhengyangmen, which happened to be fueled by strong winds, and the fire spread, affecting the Zhengyangmen Arrow Tower. This reconstruction and repair shared 68,799 taels of silver.

Therefore, Hao Jun specially used orange-red luminous powder to outline the dense fire clouds that can only be seen in the dark, which can be interpreted as a warning in the dark, as for whether the fire can be avoided in four months, it can only depend on luck.

Of course, this pearl of the night is accompanied by a special rhetoric, and there is often a dilemma in this kind of thing.

Let's break it down, there will be no fire by then, and it may be taken as a lie.

If you don't say it, you won't have the charm of God.

Therefore, if Hao Jun wanted to catch the line of Qianlong through Shen Mingji, he simply changed the original rhetoric.

"Speaking of which, I got these night pearls purely by accident, when I was hunting in the suburbs, I slipped into a deep valley, looked for an exit everywhere, and was overtired, and fell asleep, and had a dream that the arrow tower was on fire, and when I woke up, I found these night pearls by mistake. You can look at it in the dark, only this pearl of the night has a dense cloud of fire, which I think is probably a warning in the dark. ”

Shen Mingji looked at the night pearls one by one, and it was really like what Hao Jun said!

Shen Mingji bit his red lip lightly, "Master Qin, are there any other night pearls?"

"Yes. ”

"Is there really one? Is there anything very special? I think that even if the fire of the arrow tower and the burning clouds are not taken as a warning by the emperor, it may be regarded as a sign of great joy in the red and prosperous! As long as there is another auspicious night pearl, the emperor will definitely return to Beijing!"

"There are also two Night Pearls with images in dragon robes, I can't be sure what they represent, and I don't dare to let anyone see them. ”

"Wearing a dragon robe, Qin Ye, can you let the slave family take a look?"

"Okay, Miss Shen is here for a while, I'll go back when I go. ”

Hao Jun was just about to get up and leave, Shen Mingji pointed to the night pearls on the table, "Master Qin, please put away these night pearls first." ”

Hao Jun smiled, "I'll be back in a quarter of an hour at most, so you can watch it for a while." ”

Shen Mingji said with a smile: "Qin Ye is really a master of art and bold, but I am afraid that if I am lost, such as being robbed by gangsters, I will not be able to afford to sell me." ”

"This is the mansion of the bachelor, who dares to come and make a mistake! You can relax, if there is really a villain to rob it, you let him rob it casually, don't fight with him, lest you get hurt, I will settle accounts with him, no villain can get my things!"

Hao Jun's voice fell, and he turned to leave.

Yahuan looked at Hao Jun's back and said stupidly: "Sure enough, as the girl said, the artist is bold, who dares to compare with this courage?"

"He is not only a master of art and bold, just imagine carrying so many night pearls with him, and there are still some in the house, this is to show us his strength, and it is equivalent to sending a message to the lord and the emperor through us - don't provoke him!"

Hao Jun really thought so, he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to Qin Rui after he left.

As soon as he pushed open the courtyard door of Qin Rui's house, he was taken aback!

What's going on? Why are there so many people in the yard? And with sticks in hand!
