Yu Shu described the characteristics of the ancient sword, talked about the ancient characters on it, and "drawn" it on the small coffee table in front of him with his fingers dipped in tea, Mr. Xin's eyes were not good, and he bent down to take a closer look, and when Yu Shu wrote the word completely, his eyes flashed with suspicion, and he stretched out a finger full of wrinkles to draw in the air next to the water word "drawn" by Yu Shu, and his mouth was chattering.

Yu Shu saw the old man's pensive face, he didn't dare to disturb him to remember, and was about to retreat to the side, but when he heard the sound of gasping in his ears, his wrist was grabbed by Mr. Xin——

"Click", the string of precious Buddhist beads that was still in the old man's hand just now fell to the ground.

"Tell me, what does that sword look like?" Mr. Xin's eyes narrowed into a slit, revealing a surprising light, looking at Yu Shu full of eagerness, his voice trembled a little.

Seeing this, Xue Rui hurriedly said, "Old academician, you-"

"Don't interject," Mr. Xin waved his hand at Xue Rui impatiently, and the hand that was holding Yu Shu seemed to be able to twist her arm off.

Yu Shu gritted his teeth in pain, and didn't dare to wave the old man away, so he could only persuade cautiously: "You let go of me first, and then I can compare." ”

"Okay, okay, you say it." Mr. Xin quickly let go of her hand and looked at her with earnest eyes.

Yu Shu rubbed his wrist and described the appearance of the ancient sword again: "It's so long, so wide, it's all green rust on it, the hilt is like this, and the sword head is like this." ”

After listening to this, Mr. Xin's eyes lit up with a "whoosh", and he slapped the coffee table decisively, his shoulders shook, he almost jumped up from the rattan chair, and said in a lost voice:

"It's it, it's it, tell the old man where this sword is now!?"

Obviously, the old man recognized the ancient sword, Yu Shu was happy at first, and secretly said that the rusty sword was really a real treasure. was about to answer quickly, but he hesitated, looked at Mr. Xin's expression, and suddenly felt a little more apprehensive in his heart. She licked her lips, swallowed back the words that came to her lips, shook her head, and said:

"I don't know about this, but I saw it a year ago, and I was quite impressed, and I heard the person holding the sword boasting that it was a priceless ancient sword, so I remembered it. Old gentleman. What kind of sword is that, is it famous? ”

When Mr. Xin heard this, he sat back on the rattan chair, his face showed a thick disappointment, he didn't doubt Yu Shu's words, sighed, and didn't answer her, but just glared at her with resentment and jealousy. Then he muttered to himself in despair:

"What kind of sword is that, how do you mortals know where the sword is? That's, but—"

Yu Shu was listening with her ears pricked up, but the old man suddenly got stuck here and didn't say anything, just looked at the words that had spread out on the coffee table in a distracted manner, and Yu Shu didn't answer a few calls, so anxious she turned her head and glanced at Xue Rui, asking him to help inquire.

Xue Rui asked for her: "Old academician, what can that sword be if it is not a sword, and what can it be, the younger generation is curious, so don't sell it." ”

Mr. Xin woke up like a dream at this time. Raised his head and glanced at them, stayed on Yu Shu's face for a while, and bent down expressionlessly, picked up the string of Buddhist beads, wiped them on his sleeve, and twisted the beads with his left hand. Leaning back on the rattan chair weakly, he waved at them:

"What kind of sword is not a sword, the old man does not know, and he does not recognize. Didn't you come to buy, and when you have chosen, you can leave. ”

Mr. Xin suddenly turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, Yu Shu and Xue Rui looked at each other, and doubts suddenly rose in their hearts, but if they continued to ask, the old man simply closed his eyes, covered half of his face with his sleeve, and ignored them a word.

Yu Shu Xue Rui couldn't, he couldn't go up and pry his mouth, so he had to say goodbye to him and walk towards the outside of the Treasure Pavilion.

When he arrived at the empty corridor where no one was around, Xue Rui asked Yu Shu aloud: "The sword you said is now on Daozi?" ”

Xue Rui didn't know the story about the sword, but he had seen Jingchen holding it in the small courtyard on Huixing Street.

Yu Shu nodded and said softly, "I'll tell you when I finish buying things and get to the car." ”

The two of them went downstairs, and just happened to prepare all the items on the list, and packed a large box in total, and there were really a lot of things.

"Eldest son, look, this is all ready, and the little one will be carried into the car for you?"

"Go."

The steward surnamed Zhou saw Xue Rui and them come down, and didn't mention anything about the settlement, and enthusiastically sent them out, Yu Shu noticed this, and would not be stupid to remind them, otherwise she would have to compete with Xue Rui in front of outsiders to pay the bill? It's too frustrating.

***

In the car, after leaving the Xin Family Dayi Pavilion, Yu Shu asked Xue Rui:

"Who is that old Mr. Xin just now, I heard you call him academician, isn't he the left judge today?"

Xue Rui shook his head, and his words were quite respectful: "The one just now, in terms of seniority, is older than Xin Zuoju. Twenty years ago, Taishi Shuyuan was in charge of him single-handedly, and later said goodbye, and the saint was named 'Academician Shi Lu', and now half of the officials of Si Tianjian saw him, and they had to bow their heads and salute him. ”

Yu Shu guessed that Mr. Xin was not small, it turned out to be the old principal of Taishi Shuyuan twenty years ago, this generation is really high enough.

The words that came out of the mouth of such an old antique, word by word, the ancient sword she got at the beginning of the ten ** has a great origin.

Then, Xue Rui asked about the ancient sword, and his face was puzzled: "By the way, is that sword a Daozi?" ”

Yu Shu thought about it and felt that he might as well tell him:

"Do you remember when we were in Yiyang City last year, when I was a buddy in your shop, and then I got acquainted with Jingchen that time, I met a group of demons outside the city, and I almost gave people a tribute, oh, and your cousin Xue Wenzhe, because his sword was at that time when I came back."

Xue Rui's relationship with Yu Shu at that time was not as close as it is now, and Yu Shu had something to hide, so he didn't know some of her experiences at that time, and now it sounded like another adventure, and he couldn't help but feel the twists and turns of her fate.

"So, that ancient sword was obtained by you, so why did it go to Daozi's hands again?"

"It was given to him later," Yu Shu's eyes flashed, and he recalled: "When I met Jingchen, he carried two swords, and then he lost his memory, and met on the way again, he didn't even remember who he was, we escaped together, experienced danger, and it wasn't until the capital that he remembered a set of swordsmanship, so I gave him the ancient sword."

What Yu Shu didn't say was that in exchange, Jingchen also handed over the treasure of the master's sect, Huang Shuangshi, to her, but unfortunately after many things, Huang Shuangshi changed hands again, and it was not hers in the end.

Xue Rui has a keen heart, and when she saw Yu Shu's stunned expression, she thought that she had not been able to let go of her obsession with Jingchen, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost, and now she regrets it, if she didn't meet her at the beginning, but tried every means to escort her into Beijing, would she not have had the opportunity to have that life-and-death friendship with Jingchen.

As a man, he is confident that he is no worse than Jing Chen, but he can't make her heart move when he hollows out his thoughts on Yu Shu, in the final analysis, there is only that little difference.

"You are hiding the whereabouts of the ancient sword from Mr. Xin for fear of causing him trouble?" Xue Rui said Yu Shu's scruples.

"Well, if you look at the old man's reaction, you will know that there is something strange about the Dao, Jingchen is holding that sword, maybe it is a blessing or a curse." Yu Shu was only worried that she had given Jingchen a hot potato, and didn't notice the self-deprecation on Xue Rui's face.

"So what are you going to do? The sword is in the hands of Daozi, and the princess's mansion is full of people, in case someone who cares about it, I am afraid that I can't hide it. Xue Rui reminded Yu Shu not to think that if he bluffed Mr. Xin today, no one would find out that the sword was in Jing Chen's hand.

Yu Shu touched his chin, "tsk", and soon had an idea, and discussed with Xue Rui:

"I'm not afraid, Jing Chen cherishes that sword very much, and it is specially equipped with a scabbard, except for me and him, it is estimated that no one has carefully looked at the details on that sword. I'll go find Jingchen now, let him collect the sword, most of the antique shops in this city sell fakes, find a rusty sword with a similar appearance, let him replace it, no one will find out about the bag, in the future, it will really make people worry about it, just take the fake one out to make up the number. ”

Xue Rui pondered for a while, and felt that there were not many loopholes, so he said, "That's good, without further ado, let's go to the princess's mansion...... Let's say that Yu Shu and Xue Rui came to the princess's mansion, entered the door to report, and were invited to wait in the tea room.

After a cup of tea, Jingchen appeared.

"Why are you here?"

Xue Rui nodded at Jingchen, sat and drank tea, and did not speak.

Yu Shu pondered for a while, and then told Jing Chen about the incident in the Treasure Pavilion in the afternoon, and at the end, he said:

"The so-called more is better than less, don't use that sword in the future, put it away secretly, and don't let others know. As I said, prepare a fake to deal with. ”

Jingchen is not a person who likes to get to the bottom of things, and he trusts Yu Shu very much, even if he agrees, he only has some regrets in his heart, because he uses that ancient sword very easily.

Seeing that he agreed, Yu Shu put her mind at ease, and after talking about business, she had no intention of staying longer.

Before, she also wanted to ventilate with Jingchen, in case Liu Yi was looking for her bad luck after the Shuangyang Meeting. But Xue Rui was also there, so she didn't know how to say it, and she couldn't say in front of two big men that she was bullied in Qiongyulou that day.

"It's not early, why don't you stay for dinner?" Jingchen asked, but his eyes were at Yu Shu.

Yu Shu was just about to refuse, but Xue Rui had already opened his mouth first: "That's not necessary, Ah Shu and I have other places to go, don't bother." ”

After saying that, he looked at Yu Shu, and saw that she got up without hesitation to follow him, without the intention of staying, and felt a little more comfortable.

Jingchen didn't hold back, sent them out, just outside the gate of the princess's mansion, watched them leave in a carriage and disappear into the street, only then turned around and went back to the house with peace of mind, and went to the backyard to accompany Shui Yun, who had not healed from his injuries. rs
