Chapter 717: The Cold Pearl
Qi Ning knew that Li Tang's guess was very reasonable, and secretly wondered if the strange man he brought back was once a master.
However, this strange man does not have his own martial arts path, fights with people, just draws a scoop on the gourd, imitates the opponent's moves, even if there are old rivers and lakes beside him, then he can't see the origin of the strange man.
The sun was setting, the sky was getting late, Qi Ning hadn't taken a bath for a few days, his body was really a little uncomfortable, and he was running all the way, but he wanted to take a shower and change into clean clothes, so that he could relax a little, and ordered: "Tell everyone in the house, don't provoke the ugly man if you have nothing to do, by the way, is this ugly man interesting to Na Sulan?" ”
Qi Feng said with a smile: "Master Hou, this ugly man has a strange temper, either no one pays attention to him, or someone teases him, he will yell at people, up and down the house, except for Master Hou, only the maid named Su Lan can tame him." However, Su Lan has a gentle temperament, is not arrogant or impatient, and usually treats him well. ”
Li Tang said on the side: "Su Lan is a maid who serves Mrs. Tai, she is very considerate, has a good temperament, and serves thoughtfully, I heard that Mrs. Tai said a few years ago that when Su Lan reaches the age of eighteen, she will find a mother-in-law to marry her." He looked at Qi Feng and asked, "Yes, how old is Su Lan this year?" ”
Qi Feng thought for a while and said, "It's really fast, she is seventeen years old this year, and it seems that she will be eighteen by the end of this year." ”
"The old lady is now in the Buddhist hall all the year round, and there are few people around to serve her." Li Tang said softly: "Sometimes I really want someone to serve, or the third lady does it herself, Su Lan has been a lot idle this year, look at this, I am afraid that the third lady will really arrange for Su Lan to marry." ”
Qi Feng said with a smile on the side: "Mrs. Tai has always been very fond of Su Lan, today that Shen San really ate the gall of a leopard, and dared to provoke Su Lan, if Mrs. Tai knew about it, that kid would only suffer a lot." ”
Li Tang said: "Didn't Shen San just see that Su Lan has been less by Mrs. Tai's side in recent years, and Mrs. Tai doesn't care about the affairs of the house, so is he so daring?" If it were in the past, you would see if Shen San had such courage. However, it is true that Mrs. Tai loves Su Lan, and will always give her a good home. ”
Qi Ning listened to what the two of them said, and knew a little about Su Lan, but at this time, he didn't have the heart to care about these things, and asked, "What about the Dongqi Marriage Mission?" ”
Li Tang immediately said solemnly: "Master Hou, the King of Huainan led people to escort him all the way, and after arriving safely in the capital three days ago, the emperor immediately summoned the prince of Dongqi, but what he said, we naturally don't know." At present, the prince of Dongqi is extremely entourage, and the princess Tianxiang is also temporarily living in the post house, and everything is arranged by the king of Huainan himself. ”
Qi Ning thought that he would go to Xiangyang by himself, turned a corner, and delayed for a few days, but he was always traveling quickly, although the mission was directly entering Beijing, but the road was naturally not too fast, and it was not slow to arrive three days ago.
He knew the arrangements for the emperor's wedding, and Qi Feng and the others would not know too much, and after he entered the palace, everything would be clear, but it was too late to see that it was too late, and he thought that it would not be possible, so he would go over early tomorrow morning to face the saint.
Back in his yard, Gu Qinghan had already arranged for someone to prepare hot water, and Qi Ning didn't want others to serve him, so he sent everyone back, so he closed the doors and windows and took out the potion that Zhong Li had given him at the beginning.
It took half an hour to light the lights in the house, and Qi Ning cleaned the makeup potion, and then took the pill to restore the voice, but it was easy to recover the appearance, but it would take an hour for the voice to recover.
Qi Ning took a beautiful bath, changed into the clean clothes that had been prepared a long time ago, the whole person felt relaxed for a while, went out and ordered the next person to come and clean up, and saw that Qi Feng had already come, and after the maid cleaned up, Qi Feng entered the house, closed the door with his hand, took out a white jade box from his arms, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, fortunately, this thing is on me, I am afraid day and night, I am afraid that there will be a mistake, and I will pay for it when I turn back." ”
Qi Ning took the jade box, opened it and saw that it was the white clam pearl that he got from the monk Gong Tashi when he was in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, this jade box was already very luster, but under the background of the white clam pearl, it looked a little dull, under the light, the pearl was as bright as snow, pure and abnormal, without a trace of flaw.
Qi Ning looked at the jade box and said with a smile: "Good job, I'll reward you when I go back." ”
Qi Feng smiled and said: "It's okay to reward it or not, there is nothing wrong with the Hou Ye, and the little one is satisfied." ”
Qi Ning laughed, thought of something, and asked, "Is Miss Tang in the mansion?" ”
"Yes." Qi Feng said: "At this hour, Miss Tang has already returned home, and Miss Tang has been treating eye diseases for Miss Tian of the Tian family's medicine store for a while, and I heard that Miss Tian can already see some things clearly." ”
Qi Ning naturally knew about this, and was relieved in his heart, and said: "Miss Tian is a mortal, she either doesn't make a move, once she does, she is naturally sure." In his heart, he thought that Tang Nuo was well-informed in medical skills, but he didn't know if she could know the effectiveness of this white clam pearl.
Gong Tashi and other monks traveled thousands of miles from Qinghai to Eastern Qi in order to bring back the white clam pearl, which shows the preciousness of the white clam pearl.
Qi Ning has always been curious about what the effect of this white clam pearl is, and later after being reminded by Qi Feng, he realized that this white clam pearl is likely to be used as a panacea, Gong Tashi and the others are all disciples of the King of the Great Snow Mountain, and they can make them go thousands of miles from Qinghai and Tibet to the East Qi to take the pearl, and only the King of the Day has this ability, so this white clam pearl should be taken back and handed over to the King of the Sun.
Whether the pearl was used by the Sun Chase Dharma King, Qi Ning couldn't be sure, but the person who could use this pearl must be an extraordinary person, if not the Sun Chase Dharma King, at least it should be a member of the royal family of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom.
This kind of pearl is extremely rare, and Qi Ning knows that it is impossible for ordinary people to know how effective it is, but Tang Nuo's medical skills are exquisite, and he may know a thing or two.
Qi Ning belongs to the character who has a doubt in his heart, and must be solved, what does the King of the Sun want this pearl to do, he naturally wants to know, if he can know the biggest role of this pearl, maybe he can know the purpose of the King of the Sun, and he is not in a hurry to eat at the moment, and goes straight to the Tang Nuo Courtyard.
The sky had already darkened, and when he arrived at the courtyard of Detangnuo, it was as quiet as ever, Qi Ning knocked on the door when he arrived at the door, and said softly: "Miss Tang!" ”
Soon I heard footsteps, and then the door of the house was opened, and Tang Nuo, who was as beautiful as water, saw Qi Ning, leaked a light smile, and said, "When did Master Hou come back?" ”
"Just arrived today." Qi Ning felt that Tang Nuo's speech was always natural and quiet, although she didn't smile on weekdays, but when she interacted with people, she never gave people a cold feeling, she seemed very easy-going, and said with a smile: "How are you doing this time?" I heard that there was progress on Miss Tian's side. ”
Tang Nuo turned sideways, let Qi Ning enter the house, and did not close the door, walked towards the inner room, and said as he walked: "Her eye disease has been too long, there is no way to cure it immediately, and it can't be too rushed, if everything goes well, it should take three or four months to recover." ”
"It's already remarkable." Qi Ning followed Tang Nuo into the room, and saw a few medicinal herbs on the table, Tang Nuo had already explained: "This is the medicinal herb for Miss Tian, her eye disease is unusual, the medicinal herbs used are different every time, and the medicine must be applied according to her condition, if there is a mistake, it will backfire." ”
Qi Ning said with a smile: "Saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, Miss Tang, you have saved many people, but I'm afraid that you have already created a 10,000-level floating slaughter." ”
Tang Nuo smiled lightly and asked, "Is there something Hou Ye looking for me?" ”
"Miss Tang, can't I come and sit down and talk to you if you're fine?" Qi Ning smiled.
Tang Nuo said: "Hou Ye is busy with official business, and I am not a person who can talk, even if Hou Ye wants to talk to someone, he should not like to talk to someone like me." ”
"Then you'd be wrong." Qi Ning smiled: "Talking to Miss Tang can make people relaxed and happy, if Miss Tang is willing, I am willing to sit here and talk to Miss Tang all night." ”
Donno just smiled slightly, and didn't say much.
Qi Ning took out the jade box from his arms and said softly: "Miss Tang, you are sharp-eyed, I won't hide it from you, in fact, I also came to see how you are doing these days, and you don't have to work too hard." In addition, I have a thing here, I heard that it may be a medicinal herb, and I don't understand it, so I asked you for advice. ”
When Tang Nuo heard the word "medicinal herbs", his eyes showed brilliance, and when he saw Qi Ning handing over the jade box, he reached out to take it, turned around and put it on the table, and then opened it carefully.
Qi Ning also got up, standing beside Tang Nuo with his hands behind his back, Tang Nuo opened the jade box, a cold cold air emanated from the box, saw the pearl inside, his pretty face showed a hint of surprise, took out a milky white silk handkerchief from his body, gently wrapped the pearl, took it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and his beautiful eyes showed a look of horror, and he lost his voice: "Master Hou, you..... Where did you get that? ”
No matter what she encounters, she is always calm and calm, and her emotions are rarely up and down, and Qi Ning rarely sees her showing such surprise.
Qi Ning saw her reaction, and knew that she must have something to know about this white clam pearl, otherwise she would not have such a reaction, so she was happy in her heart and asked, "Miss Tang, do you know this pearl?" ”
Tang Nuo nodded his head slightly and said, "This is a cold pearl, extremely rare, and can only be found in the deep sea. Thinking of something, he frowned and said, "Master Hou, is this cold pearl taken out of the white sea mussels?" ”
"Exactly." When Qi Ning heard her say this, he knew that there was no mistake: "Miss Tang, don't tell others about this, it's a big deal." ”
Tang Nuo said in a hurry: "Then tell me, how long have you been taking the pearl?" ”
