Zhu Youxiang was taken aback, in her mind, a country's soldiers, horses and armaments, it must be a secret among secrets, and it will never be known by outsiders. She asked Xu Yan by the way, but she didn't expect the young man in front of her to be able to speak the truth, like a few treasures, she looked at Xu Yan in surprise: "Xu Gongzi is really knowledgeable, even such military secrets know so in detail, this kind of insight is really far beyond ordinary people, it seems that I want to be impressed by Xu Gongzi." ”
In the girl's admiring gaze, Xu Yan only felt fluttering: "Where, ask Baidu if you don't decide on foreign affairs, and ask your wife if you don't decide on internal affairs~~" He suddenly felt that something was wrong: impressive? This doesn't seem to be a good word, right? What kind of person did she see me as before?
After hearing Xu Yan's report on the U.S. military strength, Zhu Youxiang frowned and was silent, there was a deep worry between his eyebrows, Xu Yan didn't understand what she was worried about, he asked while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "Miss Zhu......"
"If Childe doesn't dislike it, please call me Xuanyun. Zhu Youxiang said politely.
"Also, it doesn't seem right to call you Miss all the time...... So, Sister Xuanyun, what are your arrangements for today? I'm going back to the dormitory to get some things and go to the library to return the books, do you want to go to our school together?"
"Childe, if I can, I still want to stay here and continue watching the video. ”
"Hehe, I can't see that you're quite homely. Alright then, you can stay here, and I'll bring you something to eat when I get back - by the way, what do you want to eat at noon?"
"I'm not familiar with the local food, and I'm tired of helping me make the decision. ”
"Alright then, I'll just look at it and order it - I'll go out first. ”
Xu Yan walked to the door, and watched Zhu Youxiang sit back on the sofa and start watching the video again, he couldn't help but say: "This, Xuan Yun, I think it's better for you to rest first." Although you are still young, staying up late like this is really not good for your health - watching movies is a pastime after all, and it is not worth it to spoil your body for this. ”
Zhu Youxiang turned around and showed a sweet smile at him: "There is Lao Gongzi who is worried, don't worry, Xuanyun knows the measure." ”
Looking at Zhu Youxiang's delicate face, Xu Yan didn't feel his heart pounding, he didn't dare to look at it anymore, waved his hand, and quickly closed the door and went out. Watching his back disappear behind the door, hearing the "bang" sound of the door closing, the smile on Zhu Youxiang's face gradually rose, replaced by a deep silence.
"This Xu Gongzi is a good person, he dares to casually bring outsiders he doesn't know to his home, and he dares to let me stay alone in the house. ”
Zhu Youxiang skillfully opened the DVD player, but thought: "It's just that Xu Gongzi is too naïve, how can this kind of thing be a pastime? Now that I have the opportunity to spy on the enemy's situation and stay awake all night, what is this?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Zhu Youxiang was seriously thinking about the military affairs related to the fate of all human beings on the earth in Xu Yan's house, Xu Yan was also busy with very important matters. After leaving home, he went straight to the school dormitory building without delay and went straight to Liu Yang's dormitory.
Everyone is too familiar to know each other, Xu Yan didn't even knock on the door, and opened the door with his feet. In the dormitory, a few boys were playing upgrades, and when they heard the sound of the door being kicked open, a few boys turned their heads and saw that it was Xu Yan, and turned around and came back to concentrate on the game.
Xu Yan greeted them happily: "Morning, beasts. Where's the fat man?
The boys snorted a few times like beasts, and someone pointed to the bed next to them: "The fat man is still sleeping-Xiao Wang, it's on the tube!"
Xu Yan didn't say a word, stepped forward and lifted the quilt, and sure enough, Liu Yang was sleeping sweetly inside, and the corners of his mouth were still drooling.
"Fat man, get up!"
Liu Yang yawned sleepily: "The condom is in the pharmacy, and Viagra is also in the pharmacy-I said Yanzi, it's not easy to go with your beauty for a weekend, why are you harassing the fat man?"
"Fuck off, no kidding, I've got something important to tell you - if you don't get up, you'll be able to challenge the limits of the ice bucket!"
Under the threat of Xu Yan's cold water pouring, the fat man muttered and complained, and finally got up. He went to the bathroom to wash up, yawned and asked, "Yanzi, why did you come to me so early?"
"Something. Xu Yan glanced at a few classmates who were playing cards in the dormitory: "Let's go out and talk." ”
Xu Yan's stern tone, Liu Yang realized that his buddy did have something important.
"Okay, let's go, where are we going?"
"Jiuqu Pavilion. ”
Jiuqu Pavilion is a pavilion on the artificial lake on the campus in the suburbs of Shudu, and at night, it is a holy place for countless mandarin duck lovers. But in the early morning on Saturday and Sunday, there are still very few people.
"I said Yanzi, what are you doing by pulling me out so early? You brought the fat man to such a remote and uninhabited place, did you declare to me first, fat man, I am allergic to men!"
Xu Yan glanced at the surrounding environment, the surroundings were quiet, there was a faint layer of morning mist floating on the lake, except for a few English students who were reading in the morning on the shore of the lake a hundred meters away, there was no one else within dozens of meters. Despite this, for the sake of prudence, Xu Yan still pulled the fat man to the side of the wooden pillar of the Jiuqu Pavilion, and used the pillar body to block the view on the shore.
Xu Yan carefully took out the gold ingot: "Fatty, I heard that you know gold and silver, you can help me see this thing first......"
"Hey, just for this handicraft, you pulled the fat man out early in the morning? Yanzi, are you okay? But this ingots are really interesting......" Before the words fell, the gold ingots started, feeling the heavy weight, Liu Yang was stunned: "So heavy?"
Liu Yang threw the gold ingots in his hand twice to weigh the weight, and a happy smile appeared on his face: "So heavy...... It should be real gold! I'm afraid there won't be a five-or six-tael weight? Yanzi, now that the price of gold is 300 yuan a gram, this ingots should be worth tens of thousands of yuan -- where did you get it?"
Xu Yan still couldn't believe it: "Fatty, look carefully and see it clearly, this shouldn't be fake, right?"
Liu Yang weighed the weight of the ingots repeatedly, and scraped the surface of the gold ingots with his fingernails, and finally, he nodded affirmatively: "The texture on the outside is so soft, there is no doubt that it should be real gold, and it is gold of high purity, which is higher than the pure color of the gold bars sold by the bank." It's hard to say whether it's real gold or not, and if we want to make sure, we can find a place to cut it open and check it - but I don't think it's like that. With my fat man's eyes, this should be a solid real gold ingot—wow, this can't be an antique, right?
Xu Yan reluctantly pursed his lips and smiled, hearing that this ingots were worth tens of thousands, and he had become a small asset, his first reaction was not joy, but an unreal and illusory feeling, as if he was in a dream.
"Is this true?"
Immediately, a fear accused him: If this little ingot of his own is real, then the hundreds of small gold ingots that Zhu Youxiang took out last night are also real?
Zhu Youxiang, this woman with a mysterious origin, what is her identity? A girl at a young age, where did she get so much money?
"Yanzi, what are you stunned about! Your kid has made a fortune, why don't you hurry up and ask the fat master to be chic? Tonight, let's go to Lushanju to book a table of delicious food, and then go to Jinzuan to be chic after we are full of food and wine...... Hey, hey!"
The fat man said, saliva was about to flow out, he let out a burst of ambiguous laughter, and gave Liu Yang a "you know" look of understanding among men.
Xu Yan came back to his senses at this time, and his heart was cross-it doesn't matter what her origin is Zhu Youxiang, anyway, she gave her money, not to steal or rob, just spend it with confidence.
He said happily: "Okay, fat man, just do as you say! However, we must first cash in this gold, otherwise tonight's money will be gone." ”
Liu Yang is a native of Jincheng, and the responsibility of redeeming huàn gold will definitely be handed over to him. The fat man made a few phone calls, and then reported to Xu Yan with great interest: "Yanzi, I asked clearly, this kind of private gold is not accepted by the bank." If you want to exchange gold locally, you have to go to Chang'an Road, where there are many private gold shops!"
"Oh, so what are you waiting for? Let's go. ”
Chang'an Road is located in Xinjiang District, Jincheng City, which is also the old town of Jincheng. This road is an old city that has not been demolished and reconstructed, and the road surface is not spacious, and the traffic is congested and the flow of people is bustling. But such an old town is more vivid and lively than the neatly planned and spacious roads in the new district.
On the side of Chang'an Road, there are colorful shop pù signboards - Liu Yang said that it was a gold shop, but this is not true, and the more accurate name of the shop here should be a jewelry processing shop. These are all small private shops, usually helping aunts and uncles to make some necklaces and rings, and also recycling some gold jewelry and objects.
It was the first time in their lives that they engaged in such a large amount of cash trading, and Liu Yang and Xu Yan were very cautious. The gold ingot, which Liu Yang identified as real gold, was lying quietly in Xu Yan's trouser pocket, for insurance, Xu Yan's left hand had been inserted in his trouser pocket, holding the gold tightly, and a hot feeling was constantly transmitted from the palm of his hand to Xu Yan's nerves.
Until now, Xu Yan still felt a little trance: This thing given by Zhu Youxiang is really a gold ingot? With so much gold on her back, why would she still be left to the point where she has no food to eat and no place to live? .
The gold shop owner, who is a legendary cunning and treacherous creature, is about to deal with such a character, and both of them have a faint fear in their hearts. Fearing being deceived, both men had the idea of shopping around and went to a few gold shops - looking at their dodgy and sneaky appearance, people who didn't know thought they were peddling drugs from house to house.
The two hid behind the glass door of the gold shop and whispered: "Fatty, what do you think of this boss?"
"From the eyes of the fat man, this thin man has monkey cheeks and cunning eyes, and he is not a good kind at first glance, so let's not go to him. ”
"Fatty, what do you think of this boss?"
"This guy has a meaty face, muscular eyes and fierce eyes, and at a glance he knows that he is a rough and ruthless and unreasonable person - this must be a black shop, and we don't want to look for him. ”
"Fatty, look at the female boss over there......"
"Tsk, this mother-in-law's triangular eyes and eyebrows, her lips are as thin as blades, and at a glance you know that she is a scathing person with a convenient tongue, and she must not be a good person, so let's not provoke her. ”
"There's a young man behind the counter here, wearing glasses, and he seems to be very kind......"
"I said Yanzi, what kind of vision do you have! This little white face has a traitor's hair parted in the middle, and his face is full of smirks, and when he puts the Anti-Japanese War, he must be full of 'Taijun Taijun', and at first glance he is a hypocrite, and we must not do business with him!" ......
"I said fatty, are you doing business or choosing a son-in-law?" Xu Yan said weakly: "We have all walked a full street, and after seeing so many shops, your family refuses to go in." ”
The fat man was also so tired that he gasped for breath, but he was still stiff-mouthed: "Don't worry, don't worry, I don't believe the fat man, can't I find an honest and honest boss on the entire Chang'an Road?" Ah, Yanzi, look, the one in front is it, the fat man I'm looking for such a shop!"
Xu Yan was in high spirits, looked up, but there was a gold shop not far in front of him, the signboard carved from red sandalwood was written with the name "Qin Ji Gold Shop", the color of the signboard was black and dark, and it was obviously quite a few years. The store is not large, but looking at the blackened walls, the furniture with a sense of the vicissitudes of time, the heavy counter, and a few old calligraphy and paintings on the walls, they are all quite old, giving people a feeling of long-term vicissitudes.
The shop is very clean, and there are no customers yet. At the back of the counter sat an old gentleman in a white gown. This old gentleman has elegant eyebrows, gray temples, wearing glasses and looking at a thread-like ancient book, holding a folding fan in his hand and shaking it gently, looking intently, he didn't even pay attention to Liu Yang and Xu Yan when they entered the door.
Liu Yang whispered: "Yanzi, do you see it? This boss is kind and kind-eyed, and his temperament is the kind of Confucian businessman who is very cultivated at a glance! Look at this shop, I'm afraid it's not a century-old shop? This kind of time-honored store pù has been inherited for a hundred years, and it is particularly particular about reputation and reputation, I think it's no problem." ”
Seeing the old gentleman, Xu Yan had to agree with Liu Yang's statement: The old gentleman in front of him has dignified eyebrows, white hair, calm and steady, elegant temperament, and a convincing temperament. At first glance, he doesn't look like a gold shop owner at all, but rather like a retired old teacher, a respected old Chinese medicine doctor and the like.
