Chapter Eighty-Four: The Divine Decree
Xu Dong took out a hundred yuan from his pocket first, put it in front of Jiang Lei with a smile on his face, and said: "Mr. Jiang, what about me, I love to read novels, but I read slowly, and I don't want to be told that I owe the book, so I give 100 yuan, which is considered to buy these books, is this okay?" ”
Jiang Lei was stunned, he didn't expect Xu Dong to come out like this, he couldn't help but laugh secretly, this guy is really a pawn shop owner? How is it no different from a child's play?
"What's the matter!" Jiang Lei smiled, waved his hand and said, "Boss Xu took it, what can three broken novels be worth?" Take it, take it, don't pay it back, don't pay it back! ”
"Hey, no!" Xu Dongzheng said: "Mr. Jiang wants this money, our business will continue to talk, if not, then our business will be forgotten, Mr. Jiang will go back!" ”
Jiang Lei was in a hurry, took the hundred yuan and put it in his trouser pocket with a "whoosh", and said hurriedly with a smile: "Okay, Boss Xu is really a particular person, he doesn't even owe such a little love, okay, okay, I accepted this money, and it will be regarded as money to buy books!" ”
Xu Dong smiled and said: "Okay, Mr. Jiang, the business of this research station is closed, should we write a receipt contract?" ”
"Then don't ...... don't need it" Jiang Lei waved his hand and refused, that piece of research platform is a worthless thing, if you exchange it for 20,000 yuan, you will meet Xu Dong such a fool, you can't even change it for 20 yuan in another store, what kind of contract receipt to write, that is to leave "evidence", if he knows that he has been fooled and suffered, he will sue himself with this receipt, he is afraid of causing trouble, so the contract and receipt must not be written!
Xu Dong was also refreshed, pushed the 20,000 yuan over, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, then the receipt contract will not be written, you can take the money!" ”
Jiang Lei was "polite", grabbed 20,000 yuan and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, and the trouser pocket "swelled" all of a sudden, and then immediately stood up and said: "Boss Xu, I still have important matters to deal with, and I will invite you to dinner when I have time...... Hey, and of course you, the female employee! ”
Sang Qiuxia pursed her lips, this liar will also deceive a "fool" like Xu Dong, even if she has no experience, she can see the true face of this guy!
Xu Dong smiled: "Then don't send it, Mr. Jiang will come and sit again when he is free!" ”
Jiang Lei got up with a smile and slipped away, he didn't even want a leather bag, he was afraid that Xu Dong would feel cheated and regretted it at this time, so he quickly slipped away!
As soon as Jiang Lei disappeared, Sang Qiuxia showed a displeased expression and said, "Boss Xu, 20,000 yuan is not money!" ”
Xu Dong snorted, and reprimanded with a bad face: "Sang Qiuxia, you don't know what you think in your heart?" Do you think I have the word 'fool' written on my face? ”
"You're the boss, you're in charge!" Sang Qiuxia naturally wouldn't contradict him again, but the answer was almost clear about the meaning of saying "yes".
Xu Dong smiled "hehe", raised his hand and instructed her: "Close the door of the store!" ”
"Closing the store?" Sang Qiuxia was stunned, what kind of store is closed in the daytime? But looking at Xu Dong's expression, it was clearly not like a joke, and suddenly her heart jumped: Could it be that Xu Dong saw that she was beautiful, but he still couldn't help but do "bad things"?
Xu Dong saw Sang Qiuxia in a daze, shook his head and sighed, and simply went to close the door of the store by himself, and then turned on all the lights.
Sang Qiuxia was a little nervous, clenching her fists and hiding behind her back and not daring to lean on him.
But Xu Dong didn't look at her at all, let alone get close to her, but took a pair of scissors and put one of the three novels on the counter.
Sang Qiuxia was strange, did he want to read a book or "destroy" a book? Strange, I couldn't help but lean forward by myself.
Xu Dong stared at the manuscript carefully, the paper in the book is cotton paper, and the writing brush is single-sided, that is, only one side of the page is written, and the back is not written, in fact, it can't be written.
Neither the paper nor the words in the manuscript are of any value, the treasure comes out of the cover of the book, and his eyes do have infinite "wonders", whether it is treasure or ordinary qi, where it comes from, the subtleties can be seen, and this green treasure comes out of the thick cover of the book.
At this time, after carefully inspecting the book cover, Xu Dong saw that the book cover was also similar to thick kraft paper, very thick, and the place near the root was very fine, and there was no place for any leakage and peeling!
Knowing that the secret was in this envelope, Xu Dong took the scissors and groaned that he didn't dare to do it casually, for fear that if it was not good, he would cut the treasure inside!
Sang Qiuxia stared at him inexplicably, this Boss Xu is not only stupid, but now he is even more stupid, not to mention the loss of 20,000 yuan, he spent 100 yuan to buy three broken novels, it stands to reason that he bought the novels for reading, right? But now I'm staring at the novel in a daze with a pair of scissors, and I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing with such a boss!
Xu Dong hesitated for a while, thought about it, and then carefully poked a small hole in the cover with scissors, and then put the tip of the scissors into the small hole, and then carefully cut the cover.
When the front half of the cover was cut, Sang Qiuxia saw that there was something inside, and the surface color of the exposed thing was pale yellow, and it seemed that there were some patterns like "clouds" on it.
Xu Dong knew that there was a treasure inside, but he didn't know what it would be, and he was surprised when he saw half of it after cutting it, this thing seemed to be like the color of the "yellow coat" given by the emperor in ancient times, but the middle part was a little special, embroidered with clouds and claws of the dragon, and there were words written on it, but the word was very strange and twisted, and he couldn't recognize it.
Cut the other half of the side, revealing the other half, the thing is double, there is a "shaft" at both ends, the two "shafts" are combined together to make the position of the book cover, spread out the shaft, it is a silk width of about fifty or sixty centimeters, about twenty centimeters long, the words written on the half seen before are very strange, but the other half is written on the traditional Chinese characters of Gongbi Xiaokai, but these traditional characters are slightly different from the words on the traditional Chinese books that Xu Dong has seen.
This thing came into his eyes, and it gave Xu Dong the feeling that it was a "holy decree"!
Naturally, he has never seen this thing with his own eyes, but he has seen a lot of it in TV and movies, and the content cannot be seen whether it is true or false, but the appearance and style are no different!
Xu Dong glanced at Sang Qiuxia, who opened her mouth in surprise, ignored her, groaned for a while, and then took out his mobile phone to call Long Qiusheng.
"Elder Long, are you in the Copper City?"
Long Qiusheng didn't say anything and laughed first: "Hehe, Xiao Xu, what's the matter?" I'm in Copper City, at home! ”
Xu Dong smiled: "Okay, Old Long, I just got a good thing, you can come to me to take a look when you have time, well, it's Uncle Niu's pawn shop!" ”
"I know, okay, I'll be there soon!" As soon as Long Qiusheng heard Xu Dong say "get good things", his heart suddenly became excited, where could he still bear it, and immediately said that he would leave.
Other people say "good things" he still has to consider, but Xu Dong is different, he has seen Xu Dong's surprising "eyesight", he said that it is a good thing, then it must be a good thing!
"What is this?" Sang Qiuxia asked Xu Dong after waiting for him to put down his phone.
Xu Dong was in a good mood, but he couldn't help but smile and asked her, "What do you think?" ”
"Like a holy decree ......" Sang Qiuxia ate and laughed, but her meaning was naturally "joking" more, to be honest, there were too few things, things in ancient times were too far away from her, she had never dreamed of such a thing even if she was daydreaming!
Long Qiusheng arrived six or seven minutes later, knocked on the door, and Xu Dong instructed Sang Qiuxia: "Open the door!" ”
Sang Qiuxia didn't mutter anymore at this time, and hurriedly went to open the door.
Long Qiusheng turned around and waved his hand to let his driver go first, and then bent down to get into the door, Xu Dong didn't wait for the door to rise completely and ordered Sang Qiuxia: "Close the door again!" ”
As soon as Long Qiusheng came in, he strode to Xu Dong's side, and when he saw the "Holy Decree" spread out on the counter, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and quickly took out his glasses and put them on his eyes, bowing his head and examining them carefully.
Sang Qiuxia had never seen Long Qiusheng, nor did she know him, but seeing his white hair and white beard, showing an elegant temperament, Xu Dong seemed to "respect" him very much, knowing that this old man must have an identity, and seeing that when he checked and appreciated the "holy decree", he was skillful, and it seemed that he was not an ordinary person.
Glancing at Xu Dong again, Sang Qiuxia was a little puzzled in her heart: "Isn't this 'fool' boss really got a valuable thing?" ”
Only Xu Dong knew that the thing he got was valuable, but he couldn't be sure how high the value was, but the stronger the treasure, the higher the value should be, at least the previous few things had been put in front.
Long Qiusheng didn't say a word, he checked up and down again, and took a magnifying glass to observe the subtleties, whether it was a shaft, or a frame, yellow silk, paper, handwriting, and the meaning of the words, all of them were checked one by one, and the process took more than half an hour!
Xu Dong was quietly waiting beside him, and Sang Qiuxia naturally didn't dare to say a word, for fear of disturbing Long Qiusheng.
Finally, Long Qiusheng raised his head and looked at Xu Dong, groaning and thinking again.
Xu Dong smiled and said, "Elder Long, this 'holy decree' is true, right?" ”
Long Qiusheng nodded, and replied in a deep voice: "It's true, Xu Dong, I'm really strange, how did you get this thing, this is ......"
Speaking of this, Long Qiusheng pointed to the "holy decree" and said: "I have checked, this holy decree is written in Manchu and Chinese, and the inscription is" August 11 of the third year of Yongzheng', in addition, I have a lot of research on the handwriting relics left by Yongzheng, this holy decree is written by him himself, the summoning text means to call the great general Nian Qianyao to return to Beijing, in history, this is a major event of Yongzheng calling to kill Nian Qianyao, I didn't expect that there is really such a 'holy decree' left in the world! ”
"Yongzheng Holy Decree?" Xu Dong was also a little surprised, knowing that this thing was valuable, but he really didn't expect it to be related to Yongzheng and Niu Tangyao, two famous figures in history!
Long Qiusheng stared at Xu Dong and asked, "Xu Dong, since you have 'invited' me, then I will not politely ask you for this thing!" ”
Xu Dong smiled and nodded: "Old Long, you are free!" ”
