Chapter 5 Anxi Niang

I saw a man wearing a hat walking over, it turned out to be a young Han woman, who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a red narrow-sleeved tights on her upper body, a green pleated skirt on the bottom, a long sword at her waist, and a pair of bows and arrows on her back, looking quite heroic.

"Hey! Soldier, didn't you hear me speak? ”

This is the first young Han woman Li Qing'an saw after entering the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't help but be curious, and looked at her carefully, she was very tall, her legs looked slender and straight, her waist was thin and her breasts were full, her figure was very angry, and she was also very beautiful, with a pair of big black and sharp eyes on her sweet face, she seemed to be able to see through everything, but there was a hint of arrogance in her eyes.

"Not bad! Not bad! ”

Li Qingan nodded and said to himself with a smile, it didn't disappoint him, the women of the Tang Dynasty were not all round and jade as he imagined.

Seeing him looking at herself with an undisguised gaze, the woman couldn't help but be a little angry, so she slammed the table with the hilt of her sword, "Look at it! Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman? ”

The interest in Li Qingan's eyes became even stronger, this woman has the surname of a girl in later generations, and he likes it.

"Of course I sell this leopard skin, but I want a very high price, and I guess you can't afford it."

"You think I don't have any money?"

The woman snorted, took out six loaves of silver from a leather bag, and pushed it in front of Li Qingan, "This is one hundred and fifty taels of silver, you take it." ”

As she spoke, she reached out to pick up the package containing the leopard skin on the table, Li Qingan held the package down, and said with a smile: "How can one hundred and fifty taels of silver be enough, I want at least one thousand taels." ”

"You .....," the woman's face flushed, "what do you think you're selling?" A skin costs a thousand taels of silver. ”

Li Qingan picked up the wine glass and smiled slowly: "What's wrong with a thousand taels of silver?" I didn't force you to buy it! ”

"No, this leopard-skinned girl is going to be decided."

She brushed the ground and pulled out her sword, put it on Li Qingan's wrist, and said coldly: "Let go!" ”

Li Qing'an didn't hear it, drank it all in the cup, squinted his eyes and praised: "It's really good wine!" ”

The woman was furious, brushed the ground with a sword, and chopped Li Qingan's wrist, but Li Qingan reacted faster than her, and with a package, the woman slashed the air with a sword, and the blade chopped into the table.

"Little lady, you are so angry, you won't be able to marry in the future!"

The diners around laughed, and the woman's face could not be contained, she stomped her foot hard, drew her sword and left.

"Little lady, don't you want the silver?" Li Qingan drank another glass of wine, looked at her back and smiled.

The woman didn't hear anything, walked out of the wine shop quickly, Li Qingan smiled and shook his head, hats, long swords, tights, and money as dung, this is very similar to the chivalrous woman who runs the rivers and lakes in martial arts novels, could it be that there is really such a character in the Tang Dynasty?

As soon as his thoughts came to him, he heard a sound of breaking through the air, and an arrow shot through his package, shooting a full black panther skin through several large holes.

"What this girl can't get, others can't think of!"

The sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away, leaving only Li Qing'an in a daze with a wine glass.

.......

After drinking a stuffy meal, the apologetic shopkeeper Yang led him to the jewelry shop called the 'Sogdian Old Shop' and apologized to him again: "Master Jun, I'm really sorry that the small shop didn't take good care of you and broke your leopard skin." ”

"Nothing? It's just a hide. Li Qingan waved his hand indifferently and smiled, although the leopard skin was broken, but after all, the little lady lost him one hundred and fifty taels of silver, so he sold it himself.

At this time, a bearded man with a sharp nose and blue eyes came out and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yang, do you want to buy gems?" ”

He speaks Chinese very standardly, and his voice is pleasant.

"No, it's this military master who wants to buy gems, and I brought him here."

Shopkeeper Yang apologized a few more words, and then left, and the Hu man bowed to Li Qingan enthusiastically, "Guest, welcome to the shop!" ”

Li Qingan looked at the rather small storefront, nodded, and walked into the store with him.

The Sogdians, also known as the Zhaowu Jiu surnamed Hu people in the Hezhong region, are famous for being good at business, and many famous Hu people in the Tang Dynasty are from here, such as the famous An Lushan is a Kangguo person.

The Hezhong region is also famous for its abundance of gemstones, and a large number of gems follow the Hu merchants to the Tang Dynasty every year, and this 'Sogdian old shop' was opened by a Sogdian from Shiguo.

"Guest officer, what gems do you want to buy, we have diamonds from Tianzhu here, and rubies from that color wave.

"I want to identify gemstones."

"Oh! It turned out that the guest wanted to identify the gemstones. ”

The Hu man waved his hand, "Please come inside with me." ”

Li Qing'an followed him into the back room, which was very bright, and two elderly Sogdians were talking about something.

"What's the matter?"

The Sogdians paid great attention to details, and even spoke to each other in Chinese, as a sign of respect for their guests.

"Proprietor, this guest wants to come and have the gem appraised."

"Okay, please be seated."

A gray-haired Hu man politely asked Li Qingan to sit down, and asked the guy to pour a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Na Suning, Shi Guoren, may I ask the guest's surname?" ”

"Don't give your surname Li."

"Li Ke is a national surname!"

Na Suning smiled and asked, "I don't know what gems the guest wants to identify?" ”

Li Qingan took out the flame gem from his arms and put it on the table, "This is this gem." ”

Na Suning smiled and picked up the gem, from his first experience, this is just an ordinary ruby, just a little bigger, cut with large pieces of ore, but there are no impurities, but a high-grade gem, worth at most fifty yuan.

That Suning raised the gem and looked at it carefully, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, he quickly glanced at Li Qingan, the expression on his face was calm as usual, but his hand was tightly grasping the gem and trembling slightly.

"Where did you get this gem?" That Suning asked casually.

"An ordinary Hu man sold it to me."

"Oh! What kind of ordinary Hu man is he? ”

Li Qingan smiled faintly and said, "Who sold it to me, is it important?"

"I'm just asking!" Na Suning smiled apologetically, "This is actually just an ordinary ruby, but the quality is good, it is generally worth eighty yuan, I can give you an extra twenty yuan, one hundred yuan, how about it?" ”

If it was really an ordinary soldier who came to sell gems, maybe he would have agreed, but then Suning met a future person who had more than a thousand years of knowledge than him, although he covered it up very well, but he still couldn't hide it from Li Qingan's sharp eyes, Li Qingan realized from his trembling hand that he was not telling the truth.

How can a gem with flames rise be an ordinary ruby, this gem must be more than a hundred, but his gem was pinched by a hand like a chicken claw, and he probably refused to let go, he just broke an expensive black panther skin, how could he throw away another treasure, so he smiled and said: "Proprietor, this gem has actually been broken by me, I will show you." ”

This Na Suning obviously hadn't read "Historical Records", he was stunned for a moment, hesitated and handed the gem to Li Qing'an, Li Qing'an took the gem and put it directly into his arms, stood up and smiled: "Forget it, I'll go to another store!" ”

That Suning was dumbfounded, and by the time he reacted, Li Qingan had already strode away.

Li Qing'an walked out of the gem shop and turned around and said "Phew!" "Annihilator, if you want to blackmail my gems, I won't sell them." ”

He turned over and was about to leave, only to see that Suning quickly chased after him, "Master Jun, General Li, please wait!" ”

He ran forward to stop Li Qing'an's horse, panting and said, "Master Jun, I remembered, your gem is not a ruby, it is the sun stone of the stone country." ”

"Sunstone!" Li Qingan snorted, "Then why didn't you see it just now?" ”

Na Suning smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I haven't seen a real sun stone, but I've heard that there is a flame in the gem, which is very similar to yours." ”

Li Qingan bent down and asked curiously, "How much is this sun stone worth?" That's what he cares about most.

Suning thought for a while and said: "The sun stone is still valuable, but it can't compare to the diamond of Tianzhu, but I just lack a sun stone here, if you are willing to sell it to me, I can buy it at the price of a diamond of the same size." ”

A diamond of the same size, Li Qingan suspected that he had heard it a little wrong, an egg-sized diamond, what kind of priceless treasure was that, he hesitated and asked, "How much is that?" ”

"That's the number!"

That Suning compared a finger, "A thousand times." ”

Li Qingan quickly estimated that 1,000 guan could buy 500 mu of Shangtian, but a diamond the size of an egg was only worth 500 mu of Shangtian? He shook his head and joked: "How can I do a thousand guan, I need at least ten thousand guan to sell." ”

"Good! That's 10,000. That Suning said without hesitation.

Li Qingan's eyes lit up, he pumped his war horse fiercely, and ran away quickly, and his laughter came from afar: "10,000 yuan, how do you tell Lao Tzu to move?" ”
