Chapter 100: The Role of the Purple Jade Ring

Liu Yan was puzzled: "Master, this ring doesn't seem to be an object in the palace, it looks so special." ”

Su Li smiled and said, "This is a gift from the master and his old man in advance, so it is naturally special." ”

While a few people were talking, Yu Yan had already combed Su Li's makeup.

After Su Li finished breakfast, he went directly to Queen Shen Wan's bedroom.

Queen Shen Wan was surprised to see her get up so early today, and said, "Li'er, why did you get up so early today? Could it be that you have been in Tianlang Temple for a long time and have learned the diligence of monks?" she quipped.

Su Li smiled, pretending to be unhappy and said, "How can the queen mother think about some things when her son was a child, and use this to make fun of her son." ”

Queen Shen Wan smiled: "What, you are still unhappy after saying a few words?"

"How dare Erchen, after all, the queen mother is so good-looking, everything is right. ”

Queen Shen Wan was amused by her and said, "Where did you learn all these poor words?"

Su Li said mischievously: "Naturally, I learned it from my father." ”

"When did your father say this?" Empress Shen Wan said angrily.

Su Li put a hand to his mouth and said softly: "Queen Mother, Erchen secretly told you that this was what my father secretly told Erchen and my brother behind your back. ”

Queen Shen Wan was amused by this girl's ghostly spirit, and it took a long time to calm down, but there was still a hint of a smile in the corners of her eyes.

She said, "Did you have breakfast before Li'er came?"

Su Li nodded, "It's already used, what about the queen mother?"

Queen Shen Wan also nodded, indicating that she had used it.

"By the way, the queen mother, the sons will want to go out of the palace and go to my brother's East Palace to play. ”

Queen Shen Wan smiled and said, "Well, but you can't just disturb your brother on errands, after all, he's been very busy these days." ”

Su Li nodded obediently.

The mother and daughter talked for a while, probably to warn Su Li to be careful after leaving the palace. After saying something else, it didn't take long for Empress Shen Wan to let Su Li retire.

When Su Li left the palace, she changed into casual clothes, she wanted to change into men's clothes, but she was still afraid of being seen by Su Yu, so in the end, she thought about it and changed into women's clothes. It's a little more troublesome, it's better than being recognized by Su Yu for this big trouble.

She asked Mingchen and Mingxuan to follow her as guards, and Yuyan and Liu Yan went out of the palace with her.

After Su Li left the palace, he did not go directly to the East Palace, but went to the Xuanbao Pavilion first. She wanted to know what was unique about the gift that Xiao Heng had given her.

After a few people arrived at the Xuanbao Pavilion, they did not go in directly, and Su Li carefully observed the Xuanbao Pavilion among the four major pavilions in the rivers and lakes.

Xuanbao Pavilion is a five-storey attic, the first floor is a place to receive customers and pawns, the second floor is a place to sell all kinds of rare treasures, the third floor is to receive those guests with status, and the treasures on the third floor are more precious. After that, the higher it goes, the more precious it becomes, and the things that are rare in the world, and the guests received are more and more mysterious.

These are all rumors, but Su Li is not clear about the specifics. I only know that the pavilion master of Xuanbao Pavilion is also a very mysterious existence, and few people in the rivers and lakes have seen his true face.

In addition, there is an auction hall under the Xuanbao Pavilion, and only those who have the special token of the Xuanbao Pavilion are eligible to enter. It's not difficult to get this token, and you can buy it on the first floor of the Xuanbao Pavilion. It's just that this token is divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the higher the level, the higher the price. However, the higher the level of the token you have, the more rare the auction items you come into contact with, many of which are unique in the world.

Su Li looked at the noisy hall of Xuanji Pavilion, hooked the corners of his lips, and sure enough, it was one of the four major pavilions in the rivers and lakes. Even the gatekeepers at the door have martial arts, and I don't know what Xiao Heng's old man has stored.

As soon as Su Li and the others entered, a small servant immediately came to receive them, and said, "A few guest officers, do you need to pawn or buy something?"

Su Li, who was under the veil, smiled slightly and said, "Neither." ”

The little guy was slightly stunned and said, "That's here to participate in the auction?"

Su Li shook his head again.

The little guy was a little depressed, could it be that the person in front of him was here to find fault? But seeing that Su Li was dressed but was not an ordinary person, he was even more depressed.

He wondered, "The guest officer is here ......?"

Su Li smiled and said, "I'm here to find your shopkeeper." ”

The little maid immediately thought that the girl in front of him might be the guest of the shopkeeper's appointment, so he said, "Wait a minute, the little one will come when she goes." ”

Su Li nodded, and watched the little guy go inside to find the shopkeeper. I looked at my surroundings with great interest.

Because of their outstanding temperament, Su Li and others are particularly conspicuous in the crowd. Many people in the hall looked at them.

Yu Yan and Liu Yan were not masked, but their appearance was first-class, no worse than some young ladies in the capital.

Many people in the hall could see the master-servant relationship between the three of them from their clothes, and they thought in their hearts: Even the maid's appearance is extraordinary, so how beautiful should the master be.

Although many people had thoughts in their hearts, wanting to see Su Li's face under the veil, but seeing that several people were dressed extraordinary, plus the two guards behind the three of them, they didn't dare to provoke.

However, there are a few people who are not afraid of death who want to try it.

However, this place is the territory of the Xuanbao Pavilion, and anyone who is smarter will not choose to make trouble here. Those few people made up their minds and followed them after Su Li and the others left the territory of Xuanbao Pavilion. See if there's an opportunity.

The little guy quickly invited the shopkeeper out, and the shopkeeper looked to be in his forties and relatively lean. Judging from his bright eyes, it is estimated that this shopkeeper should belong to a very shrewd person. And it seems that there are also martial arts.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and said, "The girl is looking for her, but what's the matter?"

Su Li spread out his palm and showed him the purple jade ring in his hand.

She said, "One of your guests gave me this ring, but I don't know exactly what it does, but you should know. ”

When the shopkeeper saw the purple jade ring in Su Li's hand, his eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Girl, please come down, this matter needs to be discussed in detail." ”

The shopkeeper's expression, Su Li took it in his eyes one by one, it seems that this ring does have a great effect.

So he nodded and walked away with the shopkeeper. Before leaving, the shopkeeper also instructed the little girl to make a pot of good tea and snacks, and his tone was very solemn. It made Su Li more and more curious about the role of this ring.

The people in the hall were surprised by the attitude of the shopkeeper of the Xuanbao Pavilion towards this girl with outstanding temperament, you must know that the shopkeeper of the Xuanbao Pavilion will not give people a good face casually, especially with such a respectful attitude, even high-ranking officials of the imperial court may not have this treatment. Everyone became more curious about the identity of this girl.

Su Li and the others followed the shopkeeper all the way up to the fifth floor, according to the rumors in the rivers and lakes, this should be the best treatment. I didn't expect this purple jade ring to have such a big effect.

After bending a staircase, Su Li and the others were taken to the door of a hidden private room, but they were locked from the outside.

Su Li couldn't help but feel a little strange, and the shopkeeper took out a bunch of keys from his waist and found the most special key in the pile of keys.

The shopkeeper opened the door and respectfully made a gesture of invitation to Su Li. Su Li went in first, but the shopkeeper stopped Yu Yan and the others.

He said: "I'm sorry everyone, I have some important things to say to your young lady in the future, and please wait outside for a while." ”

"This ......" Yu Yan and Liu Yan both looked at Su Li with some concern.

But Mingchen and Mingxuan didn't care at all, their master's martial arts were obviously higher than the person in front of them, not to mention that the master had the Dawn Sword in his hand, so he didn't need to worry.

Su Li smiled and said, "You guys just wait outside." ”

"But......" Liu Yan wanted to say something more, but after being signaled by Su Li's look, she obediently shut up and reluctantly stayed aside.

The shopkeeper also entered the private room and closed the door from the inside.

Su Li looked at this room, and all the furnishings were extremely elegant. It seems to be a random layout, but in fact, it is arranged just right with every place in the room, and it also echoes each other.

Su Li admired in his heart, this private room should be lived in by those with higher positions in the Xuanbao Pavilion. The person who lives here should be a person who has a lot of taste and knows how to enjoy it.

After looking at it enough, Su Li said, "I don't know what important thing the shopkeeper deliberately took me here to say?"

The shopkeeper said respectfully, "Please tell the girl who gave her this ring." ”

Su Li frowned slightly, whether Xiao Heng used his real name or just a pseudonym.

Su Li thought for a while, and then only said, "The person who gave me this ring is my master, but I don't know if his name here that day is his real name." ”

The shopkeeper said, "It's good for the girl to say her real name." ”

Su Li said: "Xiao Heng." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Su Li's words fell, the man immediately gave Su Li a big salute.

Su Li hurriedly left the place, although she looked puzzled, but after all, the other party was older than herself, so she left quickly.

Su Li was surprised: "What are you doing here?"

The shopkeeper said: "You are the next pavilion master of Xuanbao Pavilion, and this gift is naturally needed." ”

Su Li was in a state of shock and repeated, "The Pavilion Master of Xuanbao Pavilion?"

"Yes. ”

Although Su Li was very frightened, she did not stop thinking, and she quickly figured out the reason. Then he asked, "The current pavilion master of Xuanbao Pavilion is my master Xiao Heng?"

The shopkeeper replied, "Exactly, it's just that the pavilion master likes to be quiet, and there is very little time in the Xuanbao Pavilion in a year. Only when we encounter a major event that we can't decide, will we bother his old man or the two escorts beside the pavilion master. ”
