Chapter 502: He Xiangu is unfathomable
"If we are not there, how can we see good things?"
In the face of He Mei's joke, Wang Shihua smiled, and he didn't know where to put the box in his hand.
"Alright, give it to me." Zhang Cuiyun was anxious, grabbed the box, and said with a smile while opening it: "Let me see what a good thing it is...... Oh my God, this is ...... Jade Ruyi? ”
"Tsk! Tut! Miss, I've seen a lot of jade Ruyi with you, but this is the first time I've seen this kind of green jade Ruyi. It's like water flowing in the jade, it's so beautiful. ”
"Big sister, how can this green be so green? It's so complete, I've never heard it before. In the midst of everyone's admiration, Ah Xia looked at He Mei a little nervously: "Aunt He, you are well-informed, you say, this can't be fake, right?" ”
He Mei picked up another jade Ruyi, looked at it, and exclaimed, "I don't know, but I don't think anyone dares to fool Shihua with fake things...... I saw in books that there was a kind of imperial green, and it seemed like this......"
"Is there a way to test it?"
"Look at my memory, how did I forget this...... Light a candle and bring a basin of water. ”
After these two things were quickly prepared, He Mei put Lu Ruyi in the basin filled with half of the water, then turned off the light herself, took the lit candle from the maid's hand, and put it in the basin.
"Look! There is light! There's a golden glow! ”
At this time, no one cared about Zhang Cuiyun's shouting, because everyone saw the little golden light that appeared in the basin, like a star lit up.
Soon, a golden-green circle of light appeared on the inside of the basin, slowly expanding upwards, as if it was about to burst out.
However, when the aperture is just level with the top of the basin, the aperture stops, and a faint green luster emanates from the flat mouth of the basin...... At this time, the gold and green in the basin are intertwined, and it looks particularly gorgeous.
Everyone held their breath, expecting an even greater magical change, but He Mei picked up the candle, and the golden-green luster disappeared immediately.
"Oops~! It's gone. ”
"Ambilight, full of goldfish! Sure enough, it's the top imperial green. Zhang Cuiyun snatched the candle, put it in the basin again, and said dissatisfiedly: "Aunt He, I haven't seen enough." ”
Wang Shihua was just curious about this thing, and when he saw He Mei get up, he also stood up, and asked with a smile: "Aunt He, have you seen it before?" ”
"No, that's what the book says." As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Shihua, and then walked out.
Wang Shihua watched He Mei go out, smiled faintly, turned around and whispered to a group of twrking beauties: "Don't gather around, it's night, if there is sunlight, it will look better." ”
After speaking, Wang Shihua walked out quickly...... He Mei is arrogant, sometimes in order to please her, you must do what she likes and pretend to be stupid in front of her, otherwise, how can you show that He Mei is knowledgeable? How can you please her and think for yourself?
Under the eaves outside the door, He Mei was lying on the couch, and the guards were very eye-catching many meters away.
Seeing Wang Shihua come out, He Mei pointed to the Taishi chair next to her.
After Wang Shihua sat down, He Mei smiled and said, "Tell me, what did you get in exchange?" ”
"Aunt He, how do you know that it was exchanged, and it couldn't be given to me by someone else?"
"Top imperial green is extremely rare, let alone such a large material, I have lived for decades, and I have never heard of it. This kind of treasure, not to mention ordinary people, is enough to be qualified as an heirloom even if it is placed in our four major families. Such a treasure, the person who gets it can't even hide it, let alone give it away. Therefore, only when the other party is forced to be helpless and cornered, it is not allowed to exchange it. Give? Hum! If it were you, would you be so stupid? ”
Wang Shihua sat up, picked up the teapot, and said with a smile while pouring a cup of tea for He Mei: "Aunt He, you are still amazing." ”
Then he took the opportunity to hand He Mei a teacup, got closer, and whispered: "He Mei, no matter how smart you are, it is impossible for you to guess the person who exchanged with me." ”
"It won't be the other three, and it can't be the county magistrate Fang, none of them have been forced to the point of exhaustion. Then, there can only be two kinds of people: one is one level inferior in strength to our four major families, and the other is a wealthy merchant passing by. However, no matter which one it is, it is a matter of great importance for the survival of his whole family. The third is that I don't know which guy took the shit luck, and suddenly picked up such a treasure, happy and afraid, and finally couldn't stand the pressure, so he simply came to you, hoping to exchange it for the glory and wealth of his life. Tell me, which one is it? ”
"The first."
"The one who can have this strength in this county is either Old Man Xiao or Xiao God of Wealth. One of them has done evil everywhere, looted many big households, and must have robbed a lot of good things; And the other one is rich all over the world, and it is normal to hide some rare treasures, and the probability is half of each. However, I think Old Man Xiao is more likely. ”
"Why?"
"Because Xiao Caishen's family has money and food, and can be a person, whether it is with the locals or with a tycoon like you, they have a good relationship, since there are no internal and external troubles, why give you such a good baby? On the other hand, the old man Xiao is different, he is the king of opium, last year's drought, he suffered heavy losses, I heard people, the people under his rule have been starved to death, if there is no food, I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be a rebellion...... Therefore, relatively speaking, it is much more likely that Old Man Xiao will exchange this thing with you for food. ”
After speaking, he looked at Wang Shihua directly.
Wang Shihua looked at her like a ghost, and after a long time, he gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Aunt He, no wonder others call you He Xiangu, with your fortune-telling skills, it is estimated that the real He Xiangu is nothing more than that." ”
"Cut! Which one says I'm a fortune teller? I'm reasoning. Little bastard, you have to remember that anything, no matter how secret the other party does and how sophisticated the layout is, as long as you have enough intelligence, he will not be able to withstand your step-by-step scrutiny. ”
Wang Shihua nodded, but sighed and sighed: "Hey~!" Aunt He, I'm so glad. ”
"Rejoice?"
"First, I'm glad you're not my enemy, or I'd have killed you first, at all costs; Second, I'm glad you're not a man, otherwise, with your intelligence, how can anyone else live? ”
This sycophancy, He Meimei, who heard this, smiled, sat up, also got closer, and said with a smile: "Little bastard, you should have a third luck." I'm glad you tricked my only daughter into making it so hard for me to help you, right? ”
"Hey! Hey! Aunt He, this is what you said, I didn't force you~! ”
"Okay, tell me, how much did you pay for this pair of treasures?" He Mei lay down as she spoke, and she was still very comfortable to stretch, but as soon as she was halfway through, she stopped.
"It's not much of a price, it's just 300,000 catties of grain."
He Mei was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Shihua, and after making sure that there was no follow-up, she sat up suddenly, her eyes released essence, and asked in a cold voice, "Are you sure?" ”
"Sure! By the way, listening to him, it seems that he still wants to further cooperate with our Wang family. Wang Shihua smiled a little proudly: "It is estimated that we are optimistic about the future of our Wang family, and I am afraid that we will hold a grudge against him for the past, so this is ...... Scold! Scold! ”
"Don't laugh!" He Mei looked at Wang Shihua with a solemn face and said, "Tell me the process from beginning to end, word for word, and even explain the changes in tone and eyes as detailed as possible." ”
"Aunt He, you ...... Is it so serious? "Didn't he just want to solve his food crisis, and at the same time resolve the previous unhappiness with our Wang family, so that he took out such a valuable treasure, so as to gain my favor, and look at you, it is as if the sky is falling.
"I don't know how serious it will be, but it may be worse than you and I think. If you don't get it right, it is very likely that our Wang family will upload a big heel in this food incident. ”
Although Wang Shihua still didn't understand why He Mei was so shocked, He Mei has always been comfortable in front of her, and she has never had such a serious expression, so Wang Shihua had to cheer up and start talking about the story without missing anything.
"You poured him a lot of wine? Why? ”
"This guy secretly came to congratulate me so late, and I didn't know that I thought I had some collusion with him, and he was angry, so he poured him in. However, this guy seems to have seen me forgive him for helping the Tian family beat us before, so he was relieved, and soon he got drunk and walked a little slippery. ”
"Shihua, I bet to you, this guy is definitely pretending to be drunk."
"I don't think so."
"Forget it, Shihua, I'll talk about this later, it's important to do it first. You'd better send someone ...... quickly."
"Aunt He, since you said that this matter is very serious and urgent, and I can't figure it out for a while, I'll leave this matter to you, and I'm still learning on the side."
He Mei nodded and shouted to the guards not far away, "Ergouzi, come here." ”
Waiting for the second dog to come, He Mei said: "There are a few urgent matters, you go to do it immediately." ”
When the second dog heard this, he immediately looked at Wang Shihua, and when he saw Wang Shihua nodding, he bowed to He Mei and asked, "You command." ”
"Send someone to investigate immediately to see if Old Man Xiao has already left Lao Sicheng? If you leave, ask him which way he went? When leaving, did you ...... drunk" paused slightly, and said: "There are two avenues from Laosicheng to Xiaojiazhai, one is to take the Grand Canyon, and the other is to take the small road to Xiaojiazhai from the halfway road to Shendao Town. You go and inform Lao Tang and Shishi, let them each bring a few capable men and the radio station, don't have any delay, no matter which way Old Man Xiao goes, Old Tang will follow people all the way, you must see clearly, whether Old Man Xiao has contact with people on the road, or has he summoned those people after he returned to Xiao's village? Pay special attention to see if there are any strangers alive among them. ”
Speaking of this, he looked back at Wang Shihua and asked, "Shihua, don't tell me that you didn't plant a spy in Xiaojiazhai." ”
"Yes!"
"I'm going to enable."
Wang Shihua glanced at He Mei with some hesitation: The spies planted by the family in other people's homes are all kept secret, how can they be easily revealed? To put it bluntly, now, it is a test of whether Wang Shihua really trusts He Mei......
