Chapter 19: Su Baichang's strange request

I shook my head: "Maybe it's because I've heard too much news just now, and I'm a little confused." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Sorry to scare you. ”

Su Baichang hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't tight, don't tight." By the way, since this year is Miss Mo's natal year, Miss Mo might as well buy some transfer beads or talismans, many things, I would rather believe it than believe it. ”

I was a little embarrassed to refuse, "I'm really sorry, I can't afford to buy these precious ornaments in your store right now." ”

Su Baichang didn't care at all, he asked the clerk to bring over a circular rotating shelf like a pendant display shelf: "Miss Mo, you can choose any one, I don't charge money, a small pendant like this can be hung on the key as a talisman." It's a small gift from me, and it's also a souvenir of this fate. Miss Mo, you won't refute my face again, right? ”

I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "You don't have to be so polite. ”

Su Baichang insisted on letting me choose from a bunch of small snake pendants: "There is really nothing to be polite to me." These small pendants are very cheap, and they are sold here as tourist souvenirs, and I often use them to give them to friends I can talk to. Don't look at them as souvenirs, I also took them to open the light in the temple, and they also have the effect of blessing and praying. Since this year is Miss Mo's natal year, and Miss Mo and I chatted so much just now, I want to give Miss Mo a small gift, Miss Mo will not refuse, right? Besides, whether Miss Mo believes it or not, I always feel that it is better to wear a talisman in the natal year, and it can be regarded as following the tradition. But the old man does have something to ask for. ”

"What?" I know that Su Baichang will never let me take advantage of it in vain. I stopped picking.

Su Baichang hurriedly explained: "It's just a small request. I hope that when Miss Mo is entrusted to find the necklace, she can notify the old man, and the white snake is safe and sound. ”

"You're not going to come back?" As soon as I finished speaking, I wanted to slap myself, Su Baichang will definitely come back, although I don't want to admit it, but all kinds of evidence show that the white snake was originally Su Baichang's thing. And my suspicions also come from vague memories.

Su Baichang shook his head: "This depends on fate." In fact, my fate with White Snake can be said to have ended, or it can be said that it has started again from the moment you mentioned him. ”

I looked at Su Baichang puzzled, and was about to ask him what he meant, but he stopped the topic and didn't explain any reason to me: "If Miss Mo needs any help in the future, just come to me, we will be friends from today on." ”

I couldn't understand the thoughts of the big boss in front of me at all. I always feel that since I started to know about this white snake necklace, I have been meeting all kinds of strange people. I couldn't refuse Su Baichang's kindness, so I randomly chose a small jade pendant and said goodbye to Boss Su. When I walked out of the jewelry store, it was already noon, and the skin on my arms was slightly red from the sun, and I didn't want to go home, so I thought about where I was going to escape the heat. I walked all the way in a groggy way, and my mind was full of what Su Baichang had said, and by the time I reacted, I had already walked into the subway and took a random line. I realized that this was the direction of Mizhen's house, so I immediately decided to stop by and visit Mizhen again, although in fact I didn't know if she was at home today.

I found the neighborhood where she lived as I remembered, but was stopped by security guards at the entrance of the community. I just wanted to call Mi Zhen's mobile phone number and ask her to pick me up, but I saw Mi Zhen walking into the community from the outside alone, carrying a paper bag from the cake shop.

"Mizhen," I called out to her behind her.

When she turned her head to look at me, her eyes were full of surprise: "Why are you here?" She walked over and grabbed me with her hand that didn't carry a paper bag, "This is a friend of mine." She explained to the security guard at the door, and then used the key card to open the door to the community.

"Our community management is very strict, if I don't come to pick you up in the future, remember my house number and register it myself, come in and wait for me in the foyer of the building, the environment of the security booth is not particularly good."

"I went to find Su Baichang just now." I followed Mizhen into the elevator, "He told me about the White Snake, which is completely different from what you said. ”

After listening to my words, Mi Zhen turned her head, but her expression was very pleasant: "Yo, you went to find the old fox, what did he tell you?" ”

"Tell a story that still sounds confusing."

Mizhen and I walked into her apartment, she opened the paper bag and took out a box of macarons, 3 boxes of cookies, and 2 matcha cakes, and he placed these snacks on the coffee table one by one, and said to himself, "Sure enough, there was a sign that I suddenly wanted to buy more snacks at the cake shop just now." Then he beckoned me over to eat with her, "Haven't you had lunch yet?" I only have snacks here, and if I'm still hungry, let's go out for something else in a while, or order takeout to eat? It's been a long time since I've invited anyone to my house, and I haven't prepared anything at home. She gave me a delicately shaped silver fork and pushed one of the matcha cakes in front of me.

"There's one thing I don't understand." Finally, after eating the cake, I looked up at her and said.

She smiled knowingly, as if she had known what I was going to ask, "Why did I lie to you that I wanted to get the White Snake necklace back because it was a big man who used to wear it?" I feel like I can make more money back with it? In fact, Mi Zhen really guessed my mind, "I didn't lie to you." After all, although this necklace is not well-known, but think about it, from the thirty-second year of Daoguang to the present, more than one hundred and sixty years, how many people have handled this necklace? Among these people, there are some sensational celebrities, from the powerful Baylor Ye in the Qing Dynasty, to the three tycoons of Shanghai Tang during the Republic of China, and then to the famous Peking Opera singers in Shanghai, which one is not a celebrity with a head and a face back then. These backgrounds alone can add a lot of color to the White Snake necklace, so I don't think I'm lying to you. The White Snake is quite valuable" At the end, Mi Zhen's eyes lit up.

I put down my fork and couldn't help but regret it: "But apart from that, no one has ever discovered its true value, and no one has ever really owned it." ”

"Maybe." Mi Zhen pursed her lips and said nonchalantly.

I stuck to my thoughts: "That's it, the white snake was made from the beginning, and when it wanted to be worn, it was confiscated because of the theft of the treasury, and then no one cared about it; Later, he was called a fire robbery several times and stole it in the underground black market to trade and change hands, but after being exiled to the people, he failed to please the beauties, and was finally left out in the jewelry box, knowing that it was stolen and exiled to another country, and no one really appreciated it. The royal family liked it only because of the value of its own material, which could make up for the deficit in the treasury; Mingling only regarded her as the property of her later remarriage, but did not like it at all; The mother herself probably didn't like the necklace very much, and like everyone else, he only used her as a deposit to get the family out of their old lives; The last pair of brothers may be better, but they only like the White Snake because the White Snake is something left to them by their mother, and it is their connection with their mother in addition to blood, and they still ignore the value of the White Snake itself. The white snake itself is a necklace, isn't it? But no one has ever worn it, don't you think it's a shame? I turned my head to look at Mi Zhen, who was eating macarons. Mizhen frowned, I thought she was going to agree with me, but she just wiped the residue off her mouth with a handkerchief, smacked her lips, frowned and complained, "It's too sweet." Then she pushed the whole box of macarons to me, "I've got you." It's really sweet. ”

I watched a little helplessly as she stretched out her hand to the cocoa cookie, and her tone was a little unhappy: "I can't eat too sweet either." ”

She thought about it and shook her head again: "It's a pity, I can't give it to Zixuan, and he doesn't like sweets." Then she poked her forehead with her index finger in distress, "Alas, I knew that I shouldn't have been fooled at that time." ”

"I'm talking about very serious things." I don't think Mizhen is listening to me at all, and I kind of regret my decision to come to her today.

She finally stopped being obsessed with the box of dim sum, but turned her head and asked me, "Zhizhi, you are very short-tempered." By the way, when Zhao Su Baichang asked White Snake today, was he quite surprised? ”

"Yes." I recalled the morning, "It was the whole jewelry store that was very surprised, so to speak, as if they were shocked when they heard the snake, and everyone from the clerk to the store manager showed that special frightened expression when they heard me talk about the white snake, and when I looked at them, I wondered if I was asking for a necklace." ”

"It's not difficult to understand, when Su Baichang found out that the necklace was stolen before, the whole person was not good. His furious state at the time is terrifying to think about now. Mi Zhen pretended to wince, but her expression was still as calm as before, and she couldn't tell that she was frightened at all, "But I was just startled, so that I wasn't scared, but everyone else in the store was trembling with his yell." I guess everyone was left with a psychological shadow at the time, and if you go today, it will be tantamount to letting them relive the nightmare, and it is not surprising that they reacted. By the way, how did you mention the necklace with Su Baichang. ”

"I said someone asked me to find this necklace, and then I watched a show on TV yesterday that introduced his shop, and I saw a similar necklace in his shop, so I went to him to look for clues. I didn't betray you, I didn't even mention your name. I've just told the facts. ”
