Chapter 6 The Origin of Agate
It was already late at night, Bai Xiaoman sighed, looking at the panicked and black faces of the maids and family members who had just been hired, he was really depressed, did so many people want to go to the inn in the middle of the night?
Bai Xiaoman's anxiety lasted for only a quarter of an hour, and Qingyang Xiaocen had already instructed Fang Jingzhuo to clean up the Qingyuan guest room, so that it would be convenient for Bai Xiaoman's master and servants to move in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Bai Xiaoman originally had a bad impression of Qingyang Xiaocen, stained his light, his home was ruined again, and he was even more resentful of him, Qingyang Xiaocen just proposed to invite Bai Xiaoman to live in Qingyuan, Bai Xiaoman didn't want to refuse directly, fortunately, Qingyang Xiaocen patiently explained and explained, and sincerely apologized, his own affairs were not handled well, and Bai Xiaoman was also persuaded by the side, and Bai Xiaoman reluctantly agreed.
As soon as she agreed, her brain became active, why didn't she live in Qingyuan? should stay and harm Qingyuan, originally Qingyang Xiaocen was the culprit, the relationship between men and women was chaotic, he suffered retribution and implicated innocent, he has money, since he has lived, it is easy to send Buddha to Buddha, she Bai Xiaoman is also ready to stay here for a long time to eat and drink!
Qingyang Xiaocen sent Yu Zifei away, and before leaving, Yu Zifei looked back at Bai Xiaoman several times, pushed Qingyang Xiaocen with his arm and asked in a low voice: "Okay, you kid, you usually look like a saint who is not close to women, just say this Yaoqin, how many times have you rejected her, forcing her to use the emperor's hand to give you a marriage, you even dare to refuse the emperor, I thought your heart for Qingqing was really the sun and the moon, I didn't expect you to know when there was such a confidant, and the matter was so big, how are you going to clean it up?" ā
Qingyang Xiaocen didn't want to talk more at all, Yu Zifei was energetic, so he had to let him answer: "You turn your face faster than turning a book?" I listened to the advice of my subordinates and immediately rushed over, for fear that Uncle Huang would embarrass you, who in the whole Jincheng doesn't know, the relationship between King An and Qingyuan is iron? Now you won't say anything if you ask you, beware of me? ā
Qingyang Xiaocen sighed: "I rejected Yaoqin purely because I really didn't like her, and the emperor knew it, so I just tried to help her talk and asked me, where is it to the point of giving marriage?" The rumors are too bad. ā
"What about this Bai Xiaoman? Where is it sacred? I don't think she's any more beautiful than Yaoqin? ā
Qingyang Xiaocen looked disgusted: "Is everyone like you Merry Prince Yu Zifei?" Look at a woman only by looking at the face. ā
"Wrong!" Yu Zifei corrected him: "This king looks at his face and figure. ā
Qingyang Xiaocen looked like he didn't want to say more, Yu Zifei asked: "You don't look at your face, the women around you are all beauties, Qingqing needless to say, the first beauty in Jincheng back then, Yaoqin's posture is also one in a million, just take this Bai Xiaoman tonight, it looks like a flower and a moon, and her eyebrows are picturesque, you talk about me again, but I don't have any confidence!" ā
Qingyang Xiaocen was impatient: "Can you not open your mouth and close your mouth?" ā
Yu Zifei smiled: "Still not happy?" ā
"Nonsense, I opened my mouth and closed my mouth to mention Qiuli, are you happy?"
Yu Zifei's usual smiling face suddenly turned cold, but Qingyang Xiaocen didn't care at all, turned his head and continued to walk forward: "This Bai Xiaoman is the owner of the agate string, I left her to facilitate the investigation, you may not know that on the day of the Lanyue Pavilion Oiran performance, weren't you urgently summoned to the palace by the emperor?" At that time, you drank too much and ran into her when you went out, and almost offended her. ā
Yu Zifei was surprised: "What? I almost did it to her? ā
Qingyang Xiaocen said in an unkind tone: "If I didn't stop it, I guess you would have suffered from it." ā
Yu Zifei looked disdainful, and Qingyang Xiaocen made a straight face: "Don't believe it, I remember that you have already sent Jingsheng to investigate, isn't there no result?" Jing Sheng and those subordinates were also injured, and I also saw it today, she does have a secret guard with extremely high martial arts, who has always protected her. ā
"Jing Sheng came back and told him that the owner of the agate string had the protection of a master, and they couldn't get it."
"When the shopkeeper came to report, you only said that you went to investigate, what did you do?" Qingyang Xiaocen hurriedly asked.
"It's just Pai Jingsheng to invite her home!" Yu Zifei didn't have much confidence in what he said.
Qingyang Xiaocen was so angry that he stood up when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to knock Yu Zifei's head: "Didn't I tell you to secretly investigate?" You went to kidnap? Jing Shengsheng didn't lose it, it's his fate! Zifei, when will you not be so confused? ā
Yu Zifei was lost his temper by Qingyang Xiao Cen: "Okay, okay, don't talk about me, Jingsheng's skills are very good, according to what you said, you can tell me that this secret guard's martial arts are so high." ā
Qingyang Xiaocen glared at him and continued to walk forward: "Today, I have been in contact with Bai Xiaoman for a long time, but I didn't notice that there were people lurking around. ā
Yu Zifei was taken aback: "Even you didn't notice it?" Isn't this person's martial arts on par with the immortals? ā
Qingyang Xiao Cen thought for a moment: "There is another possibility, that is, the light skills of this secret guard are surprisingly profound, so I can't detect his breath and whereabouts, but whether it is light skills or martial arts, looking at the whole world, it can be regarded as one of the best." ā
Yu Zifei no longer smiled, thought about it seriously, and made a suggestion: "In this case, there must be something wrong with this Bai Xiaoman's identity, since she stays in Qingyuan, you stabilize her, I will go to the general and send troops and masters to take her down." ā
Qingyang Xiaocen waved his hand and disagreed: "We met on the day of the Oiran show, she went to Yutong to pawn something, but it happened to be my neighbor, I don't think all this can be a coincidence, since she dares to come, she must be sure to protect herself." If we really have a plan, we will definitely be caught by surprise when we take such a blatant action. And, what if she's just a rich ordinary person? In recent years, there are not a few people who ask a master to be a bodyguard, as long as you can afford to pay for it, who can't afford to hire it? It was not wise for us to arrest her so quickly. I'm still the old opinion, secretly inspect, to see what she is, since she lives in Qingyuan, it's up to me to stabilize her, maybe I can ask something. ā
Yu Zifei thought about it for a long time, and also understood that Qingyang Xiaocen was right, and patted him on the shoulder: "Then it's hard for you." ā
Qingyang Xiaocen knocked off his hand: "It's good that you know, there are too many places where I have worked hard." ā
Yu Zifei didn't pick up either, got into the carriage and left.
Bai Xiaoman had already begun to think about how to eat and drink well, Qingyang Xiaocen asked outside the door, "Bai girl, have you rested?" ā
Bai Xiaoman wondered, what else was there to find her so late?
Opening the door, Qingyang Xiaocen stood under the moonlight, pointed to the small stone bench in the courtyard and said, "If it's convenient, can you talk to Zaixia?" ā
Bai Xiaoman originally wanted to refuse, but he didn't know why, looking at Qingyang Xiaocen's eyes shining in the moonlight, he couldn't say anything if he refused.
After sitting down, Bai Xiaoman scolded himself in his heart, and was fascinated by men.
"May I ask the white girl, how did you get the string of agate that you pawned?" Qingyang Xiaocen didn't go around the bend, and asked directly when he came up.
Bai Xiaoman's heart was full of alarms, and he didn't answer immediately, but asked back cautiously: "Could it be that there is something strange about this string of agate?" ā
Qingyang Xiao Cen looked at her, as if she was distinguishing the truth from the falsehood in her words: "The white girl has this valuable, but she doesn't know its origin?" ā
Bai Xiaoman shook his head honestly: "Isn't it just a string of valuable beads?" What can be the origin? Could it be that it was the funeral goods of the emperor's concubine? ā
Qingyang Xiaocen raised his head and watched Bai Xiaoman's gaze become extremely long and profound.
Bai Xiaoman also let him look at it, but never spoke.
"The string of agate that the white girl should have, the origin is noble, as we all know, only the agate from the Cangguo, especially the blood-red agate, is extremely rare, only for the royal family, and the general royal family is not qualified to have it at all, just ask me if such valuables appear in the territory of my Xuanguo, does it mean that a certain big man in the Cangguo has come, but we don't know anything? After all, the current relationship between Cangxuan and the two countries, although there is no war, is not harmonious. So I asked abruptly, and asked Miss Bai for forgiveness. ā
Bai Xiaoman was stunned after hearing this, it turns out that this string of agate still has this origin?
When the building gave her at the beginning, she just said that agate is rare and worthy of her, because she is as precious as this string of agate, which is rare in the world, and as for the preciousness to the point that Qingyang Xiaocen said, she doesn't know at all. Especially at the beginning, she only regarded this agate as an ordinary bracelet, after all, in the modern society where Bai Xiaoman lives, agate is also a popular jewelry. Later, it was Muller who told her that Bai Xiaoman paid attention to the value of the agate bracelet.
Now it seems that the string of agate sent by the building back then is really valuable.
She didn't think much about it at the time, she was in a hurry to use the money, who knew that there would be such a big mistake. Since the thing has been discovered by them, they don't know what to say, and they will definitely not be convinced.
"So you sent someone to kidnap me? Sneak up on me? Bai Xiaoman was furious.
Qingyang Xiaocen hurriedly explained: "That's just a misunderstanding, my subordinates received the wrong order, and our original intention was to ask Miss Bai to cooperate with the investigation." ā
Bai Xiaoman didn't believe his rhetoric.
"It's true that I'm from Cangguo, but I'm not from Cangguo, I lived in Cangguo for a period of time before, and I was forced to make a living, and I got acquainted with a jeweler in Cangguo, he fell in love with me and gave me a lot of gifts, but unfortunately he empathized and didn't fall in love, and I didn't want to stay in Cangguo and come to Xuanguo." Coming back to his senses, Bai Xiaoman said, trying to make his tone sound faint.
"Oh? Is it? Qingyang Xiaocen showed a questioning look, and suddenly touched Bai Xiaoman's reverse scales.
"Why doesn't Mr. Qingyang believe it? Do you think I don't deserve to be liked, or am I not worthy to be liked by someone so rich? Think about it, if I really want to be a big person, or a spy, would I go to the biggest pawnshop in Jincheng to pawn things so blatantly? Isn't this a clear death? ā
