Chapter 35: Trapped

This little girl is quite particular about wearing today, wearing a azure skirt, with a placket of the same color on the outside, which looks very elegant, with a little powder on her little face, Qiong's nose is slightly upturned, and there is no lack of anger, with moth eyebrows, slender eyelashes, and smart eyes blinking as if she can speak.

When he saw Li Yun's delicate face and dress, Zhao Yan was slightly stunned, and then said: "It turned out to be Miss Li, but I didn't belong to it, but I didn't hear Miss Li's call." ”

Li Yun was followed by Li Er, the family member, and the little maid Xiang'er, she seemed to be a little dissatisfied after listening to Zhao Yan's answer, looked at Zhao Yan angrily, and asked, "What is Zhao Yan doing in Zhou City?" ”

Without waiting for Zhao Yan to answer, Li Yun suddenly realized again and said: "I heard that today seems to be the day when the case occurred, did Zhao Murder come to see the case?" ”

"Hehe, yes. If Miss Li has nothing to do, she still has something to do, so she will leave. Zhao Yan arched his hand and turned around and left, he didn't want to be pestered by this little girl to teach nursery rhymes anymore.

"Wait, I've got something." Li Yun couldn't help but feel angry when he saw Zhao Yan hiding from himself like a plague.

Originally, she was fine, she just wanted to say hello after seeing Zhao Yan's figure, but Zhao Yan's appearance of avoiding it was really annoying, so with Li Yun's temperament, even if it was okay, it would become something.

Zhao Yan turned around, although there was a smile on his face, but it was a wry smile: "What else is the matter with Miss Li?" ”

Li Yun's eyes rolled, and he suddenly put on a smiling face, and said with a smile: "Zhao Zhuang, it will be someone's mother's birthday in a few days, and people come to Zhoucheng to pick a gift for their mother, but they don't know what to buy, can Zhao Fierce help others pick one?" ”

"Well...... this" Zhao Yanxin said, that's your mother, not my mother, how do I know what your mother likes.

Li Yun took two steps forward, staring at Zhao Yan with two big eyes, and his tone was almost coquettish, which really made Zhao Yan unbearable: "Zhao Yan, it won't be delayed for long, there is a silver building in front of you, you can accompany others to take a look." ”

"Okay." Zhao Yan nodded helplessly, and decided to wait until he entered the silver building, choose a random thing for Li Yun, and then leave quickly.

In ancient times, the production of gold and silver jewelry utensils, and engaged in the trading of shops are generally collectively called the silver building, Shenzhou City is not prosperous, the two silver buildings in the city are not big, one is in the south of the city, the other is in the west of the city.

The name of this silver building in the west of the city is called Yuhua Silver Building, which sells all kinds of gold and silver utensils, with the most jewelry, and the style is mostly imitated from various styles popular in Beijing.

The guy from the silver building saw that the guests came, and Li Yun, who was the leader, was dressed quite elegantly, and he was extraordinarily courteous in greeting.

"How about this pair of gold and jade bracelets? Miss Li is naturally beautiful, and Ling Ci is certainly not inferior. The style of this pair of bracelets is novel and refined, especially the jade color, which is the so-called color is not evil, plus some gold embellishments, the wearer is full of grace, which is suitable for a woman of Ling Ci's age to wear. ”

Zhao Yan entered the silver building and glanced around, then asked the silver building guy to take out a pair of bracelets, and then began to praise it, only expecting Li Yun to nod, and then pay the bill and leave.

Li Yun pretended to pick up a bracelet and looked at it, nodded and said: "Zhao Fierce's vision is really good, I didn't expect that as soon as I came in, I picked out a gift for my mother, and my mother must be happy to see it." It's just that people don't have a lot of silver, so I don't know how much this bracelet costs? ”

The guy laughed dryly twice when he heard this, and then said: "This bracelet is carefully carved by the craftsmen of our silver building, and the jade is the best Yutian Meiyu, if the young lady likes it, she only needs to pay a hundred taels of silver." ”

When Qin Shi Huang unified China, Hetian jade was called 'Kunshan jade' because it was produced in Kunlun Mountain, and later it was called 'Yutian jade' because it was located in the territory of Yutian country.

It was not until the ninth year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty that Khotan Zhili Prefecture was established, it was officially named 'Khotanese Jade', and it was not until later generations implemented simplified characters and began to simplify the writing of Chinese character place names that Khotan was changed to Hotan.

If it is a real Hetian jade, it is quite affordable to sell this bracelet for a hundred taels, but Zhao Yan saw that the eyes of this guy in the silver building flashed, and he didn't dare to look at people when he spoke, feeling that even if this bracelet was real jade, it was definitely not Hetian jade, and the price would definitely not be so high.

Although she was in a hurry to get rid of Li Yun's little Lori, Zhao Yan didn't want her to buy back a 'fake' through her own hands, so she said: "This price is a bit high, why don't you take a look at it......"

Zhao Yan was kind-hearted, but Xiao Lori seemed to recognize this bracelet, only to see him raise his hand to interrupt Zhao Yan's words, and then said: "I want this bracelet, Xiang'er, take the silver." ”

The dog bites Lu Dongbin, you don't know the hearts of good people, the Li family should be glad that you are not a man, otherwise even if the Li family is rich, it will definitely be defeated by you.

Zhao Yan slandered, but he didn't open his mouth to stop it, one was willing to buy and the other was willing to sell, fair trade, he felt that he was not familiar with Li Yun, and there was no need to stand up for her, a loser.

The neutral-looking maid Xiang'er saw that her young lady winked at her secretly at her, and she knew in her heart, and said in her mouth: "Miss, the silver is in the carriage, Li Er is watching, I'll go and ask him to bring the silver." ”

Li Yun agreed, and the little maid ran out on her feet, but after a while, she didn't see the family member Li Er bring the silver.

Li Yun said impatiently: "What's the matter with Xiang'er and Li Er, they haven't brought the silver for so long." Zhao Fierce, go and take a look, you look at the bracelet, don't be bought by others. ”

Li Yun's carriage was not far from this Yuhua Silver Building, Zhao Yan had already paid attention to it, and he didn't think much about it when he heard it, and said that he would go back quickly, and saw Li Yun running out quickly with a bracelet under his feet.

The bracelets are a pair, Zhao Yan is holding another bracelet in his hand, and he looks at it carefully when he has nothing to do, who knows that the more he looks at it, the more wrong it is.

He only felt that although this bracelet looked jade and transparent, it did not have the grease of beautiful jade to the touch, but it was a little rough, and he said in his heart that this silver building was too disrespectful, at least he had to polish this fake Yu Tianyu smoother, and his face should be passable.

Zhao Yan was thinking about whether to tell the little girl later, and the guy in the silver building who was waiting on the side was a little impatient, so he walked to the door of the silver building and looked around a few times, and then asked Zhao Yan: "Childe, where is your carriage parked?" Why don't I let someone go and see it, don't be stolen by thieves. ”

"The carriage is not far on the right, so you can see it at a glance...... Uh......" Zhao Yan said as he came to the door to give this guy pointers, but when he turned his head, he found that Li Yun's carriage had long disappeared without a trace.

The guy grabbed Zhao Yan's arm quite alertly, and then summoned two other guys from the store and asked them to look around to see if there was a parked carriage near the left.

Zhao Yan already understood at this time that he was afraid that he would be cheated by Li Yun, a little girl, and the sour, bitter, spicy and salty suddenly came to his heart, but there was no sweetness.

The two guys checked it, and when they came back, they said that there was no parked carriage nearby, and then the three guys surrounded Zhao Yan and told him to pay the money quickly, otherwise he would have to report to the official.

Of course, Zhao Yan can't let them report to the official, although he is also a victim, but reporting to the official is equivalent to seeing the light, he is the first place in the first exam of the county examination, if this 'scandal' is exposed on the day of the case, then don't think about it, tomorrow's second exam will definitely not need to be examined, and even the results of the first exam will be invalidated, what's more, maybe under the turbulent discussion, he will be deprived of the qualification to take the exam in the future.

"Three big brothers, if I say that I have also been deceived, you will definitely not believe it, but this is the truth." Zhao Yan continued with a bitter face: "That girl is the young lady of the Li family in Nanzhuang, because she doesn't like me, so she teases me, you just need to go to the Li family to see." ”

The shopkeeper of the silver building came out of nowhere when he heard the news, and after listening to Zhao Yan's words, the middle-aged shopkeeper with a mercenary face smiled and said: "Boy, we don't know if what you said is true or not, and we don't want to know, we only know that you collaborated with others to cheat in my Yuhua Silver Building, but unfortunately in the end, things didn't go well, and you couldn't get out and were caught by us."

At this time, you only have two ways, first, we will arrest you and go to the officials, so that the government will clean you up; Second, you make up the silver, and you take the remaining bracelet with you, and you are not allowed to step into my Yuhua Silver Building for half a step in the future. Which one do you choose? ”

Zhao Yan didn't want to choose any way, but unfortunately he couldn't help it at this time, so he could only choose the lighter of the two powers.

"I choose ...... below The second way. Zhao Yan had no choice but to make a choice, he had hated Li Yun's little girl to death in his heart, but he had made a choice at this time, and he could only minimize his losses.

"The shopkeeper, the matter has come to this, and I won't say much about it, I will definitely give the silver, but we don't say secret words, your silver building is shoddy, and there is this bracelet as evidence, even if we see the official, we are half a catty to eight taels, do you say yes or no?"

The shopkeeper of the silver building glanced at the bracelet in Zhao Yan's hand, and with a sigh in his heart, he was silent on his face, and said: "Our Yuhua Silver Building has been open for nearly 20 years, and the goods sold are genuine, and the children are not deceived. ”

Zhao Yan smiled, his mind turned quickly, and said: "The guy just said that this is Yu Tian Meiyu, if it is really Yu Tian Yu, it will be fine, but although your jade color is quite transparent, it does not have the delicate feel of Hetian jade, and there is no spirituality." In addition, I heard that the real Hetian jade is meticulous and chestnut, the color is soft, and the sound of the knock is clear, long and far-reaching, if the sound of the gold and stone, I don't know if the shopkeeper is willing to try? ”

"This ......" The shopkeeper of the silver building has a lot of experience in gold and silver artifacts, and he knows very little about jade, listening to what Zhao Yan said is reasonable, and the jade used in the bracelet is indeed not Yu Tianyu, he can't help but give in a little back in his words: "How are you doing?" ”
