Chapter 24: An Awkward First Meeting with a Beautiful Woman

Xu Mancheng got into the extra-large sedan chair that matched his figure, and quickly closed the sedan curtains, and the left and right curtains also let him hide to death.

It was February, and it was dark very early, and when the curtain was drawn, the huge space looked a little gloomy.

Xu Mancheng didn't care, but looked excited, trembling hands, and wanted to open the brocade box, but found that his hands trembled and he was very nervous.

He didn't see the night pearl in this brocade box with his own eyes, but just listened to the shopkeeper in the pawnshop. Yu's pawnshop is the largest pawnshop in Yangzhou, there are three shopkeepers in the shop, among which Li shopkeeper is the oldest, sitting in the pawnshop, people are not moved by interests, is a talent, but not for him.

The status of the remaining two is much inferior, each with their own thoughts, far less loyal than the shopkeeper Li, and it is easy to buy.

Xu Mancheng invited the two to the banquet many times, hoping that when he received good goods, he could notify him as soon as possible and let him prepare.

On the day when the Night Pearl appeared, Xu Mancheng got the news of Song Sicheng's pawn of the Night Pearl from them, and through the mouths of the two, he learned the evaluation of the Night Pearl by the shopkeeper Li...... Priceless.

Shopkeeper Li has been working in the pawnshop since he was a child, and he began to work in the pawnshop at the age of fifteen, and became a famous gem and jade appraiser at the age of twenty.

Xu Mancheng asked for the purchase in many ways, eager to see this priceless pearl of the night, but it ended because the shopkeeper Li did not agree.

Now this night pearl is finally his, thinking of this, the wooden lid of the brocade box has been opened in his hand, and in an instant, the bright light emitted by the night pearl immediately illuminates the sedan chair as if it were day.

Xu Man grew up and gasped, and finally understood the meaning of this priceless treasure, only to see that the pearl of the night showed this sky blue blue color, and there were no impurities in it, in this dim environment, exuding a dazzling light.

It's amazing!

Xu Mancheng's blood boiled with excitement, his fat body couldn't stop shaking, and he said in a trembling voice: "Baby, what a baby!" "He was a lover of pearls and knew their value. He had collected pearls for twenty years, and there were no more than 100 pearls of various varieties, which together could make the dark night like day, but now he found that the precious pearls he had collected over the years were all waste and garbage compared to the one he bought today.

He almost grinned, and hugged the brocade box in his arms with both hands, and the force he used actually inlaid the brocade box the size of a football into his stomach, with a posture that he couldn't wait to merge with the brocade box.

"Sir! It's home! The sedan chair stopped, and the call of the subordinate came from outside.

Xu Mancheng knew that wealth was not exposed, and he knew that his identity was far from qualified to have such treasures, so he closed the brocade box and held it in his arms for fear that it would disappear.

After getting off the sedan chair, he looked left and right as if he was a thief, and hurriedly walked home.

The housekeeper greeted him and announced, "Master, the head of the house and the young lady are here, and they are waiting in the hall!" ”

Xu Mancheng's expression moved slightly, and he said secretly: "It's so fast!" "This is because of Xu Shi's greed, which led to such a big event in the Xu family, the head of the Xu family was alarmed, and he came to Yangzhou to deal with this matter, he had already gotten the news, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

He wanted to hide the night pearl first, but the head of the Xu family had a very high prestige and was domineering, so he didn't dare to let him wait for a long time, and he didn't worry about handing over this treasure directly, so he could only hold it casually, and didn't dare to let it leave, and walked to the lobby, where a majestic and calm middle-aged man and a peerless beauty who looked like a fairy were talking in the hall.

It is Xu Xiaode, the head of the Xu family, and his baby daughter, Xu Hui, who has been known as a talented woman since childhood.

When Xu Xiaode looked at Xu Hui, his eyes were full of endless doting, and when he saw Xu Mancheng coming, he saw him holding a brocade box and said, "Why are you going to buy pearls again?" He knew Xu Mancheng's surname Xu Xiaode well, and he broke his intentions in one sentence.

Xu Mancheng did not have the arrogance he should have in front of the head of the family, but he only promised to make a promise, thinking that it was like losing his backbone, and the fierce arrogance he had already thrown down the hillside - the boss was the food and clothing parents, and he understood this eternal truth. Therefore, the teeth of the mad dog only bared to people who were more humble and weak than themselves, and when they came to the head of the Xu family, they were out-and-out loyal dogs.

Xu Xiaode didn't care about him, but said: "What do you think about the current situation!" ”

Xu Mancheng's pair of rat eyes turned and said: "This incident is all due to Xu Shi's fault, but it has brought shame on my Xu family, and I have arranged the families of the injured and injured passengers in a high-profile manner, and severely punished Xu Shi, which can save the family's face." ”

Xu Xiaode originally had this intention, and immediately nodded and said: "That's it, you go back and invite me Lord Assassin Shi and some officials who have real power in Yangzhou, and I will hold a banquet in Chunfeng Building to dredge up the relationship." ”

Xu Mancheng nodded in agreement, turned around and planned to leave to deal with the matter.

"Huh! Uncle Xu, why do you have a piece of paper on your back? Xu Hui's eyes were sharp, and he accidentally saw a blue letterhead pasted on the plush bearskin coat behind Xu Mancheng, Xu Mancheng wanted to reach out to hook it, but he was too fat to find it, but he couldn't get it.

Xu Hui stepped forward and took the blue letterhead in her hand, and saw that the handwriting was beautiful, and it was actually everyone's handwriting, so she immediately read it: "Confucius Sage Yun: Jade has eleven virtues, gentle and zeal, and benevolent." Meticulous and knowing. Honest but not bad, righteous also. Hanging like a pendant, courtesy. The sound of knocking, the clearer the longer, the end of the voice, the joy also. Flaws do not hide Yu, Yu does not hide flaws, loyalty also. Fu Yin Punda, Shinya. The air is like a white rainbow, and the sky is also. The spirit is seen in the mountains and rivers, and the earth is also. Guizhang Teda, Deye. There is no noble person in the world, and the Tao is also. The gentleman is more than the jade, which shows the spirit of jade. Wen Jun likes jade pearls, hidden innumerable, in the early hours of tonight, when the wind comes to fetch, Jun Su Yada, will not make me go back and forth in vain. ”

After reading, Xu Hui looked at Xu Mancheng strangely.

Xu Mancheng's expression changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "I don't know whose prank it is, the virtuous niece doesn't have to pay attention to it." By the way, it's the first time I've been here in Yangzhou for a long time in Jiangnan, so I'll let you take you around. ”

He hurried away, the night pearl is his favorite, more than life, whether it is successful or not, whether it is a prank or not, tonight must be martial law, not careless.

Du He walked on the street and already understood all the reasons from Song Sicheng's mouth, and at the same time found out the personalities of Song Sicheng and Xu Mancheng, and strengthened his determination to do it tonight.

According to his understanding, Song Sicheng is a well-known local filial son, an honest man, what happened to him is not inferior to Dong Yong, Lao Laizi and others recorded in history, especially some time ago his mother was seriously ill, and all the surplus money in the family was used for his mother's treatment.

This kind of person is not to mention in the later generations of the great change in values and surnames, even in ancient times when morality was the mainstay.

As for Xu Mancheng, he is an out-and-out villain, rich and unkind, although there is no big evil, but there are small things, with his identity, for some small things, but no one dares to be too careful, so that he acts more and more arrogantly, for this kind of person, he should be punished with a big warning.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the street, and a carriage rushed towards it like the wind, startling passers-by to dodge. Du He caught a glimpse of a child not far from him squatting on the ground to pick up something, and seeing that the carriage was about to hit the child, he immediately made a decision, and pulled out the Tang knife in his waist like lightning and slashed it on the wheel of the carriage.

The Tang knife in Du He's hand is not bad, he is blessed with internal force, and it is not too much to cut gold and jade, how can the wooden wheel block this full blow, and it was immediately split in half.

The wheels were destroyed, and with a "boom" the carriage immediately collapsed, gliding forward diagonally, the speed was too fast to stop the speed of the carriage, and it was about to collide with the child.

A figure rolled out of the carriage, made a few laps on the spot, and landed right in front of Duhe's heels.

Du He took a step forward and asked her if she was okay, and at this moment, the figure just held his arms and tilted his head to see who was so bold that he fell out of the carriage, but this look up happened to collide with Du He who took a step forward.

Du He's face twitched, and he froze, and the figure was stupid.

It would have been embarrassing for this man and woman to collide together, let alone in such an indecent place.

The pretty figure was buried in Du He's crotch, and he could even feel a trace of warm breath through his pants to provoke the baby's life, the goods had not been opened for three months, and he couldn't help beating up when he was stimulated by this.

The woman could already clearly feel the thing moving on her face.

The two of them were dumbfounded for a long time before they came to their senses, took a step back, and separated like lightning.

The passers-by, who were originally gloating, looked at the accident curiously and showed a strange smile, but in the next moment, they couldn't help but become jealous.

The streets were silent.

That "victim" turned out to be a beautiful woman, and she was a very beautiful woman.

Du He was also a little amazing, lightly swept Emei, beautiful face, except for the national color Tianxiang he could hardly find more words to describe her beauty, any words and sentences are redundant at this time, she is like a fairy floating in the world. The onlookers were all stunned.

Du He couldn't help but sigh at the miracle of the creator, the daughter in front of her was beautiful in terms of facial features, but she was completely comparable to Wu Meiniang, and she was even better than Li Xueyan and Princess Yaochi.

It's just that at this moment, the beautiful face has been a little distorted, revealing bursts of shame and anger.
