Chapter 17: The Story of the Jade Bracelet

"Shake the bell of my department store, everything is a guest."

The voice sounded, and Xu Luoyang's psychology suddenly collapsed, and he was a little frightened.

"Isn't the shopkeeper here? So where did that sound come from? ”

Xiao Hanxi saw that the shopkeeper was gone, and the voice was a little louder, "It's okay, it's just a repetition of a gramophone." ”

"The repetition of the Gramophone, you mean the ancient...... It's not that this department store has such a thing. ”

It's really strange, she would never have thought that there was such a thing in this country, and in the ancient records, there was nothing that could retain the voice.

It's a place where she can be reborn.

"It's not surprising that department stores have such things, what they want here, of course, it depends on what you want." Xiao Hanxi said.

Xu Luoyang: "I found it when I came back, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

The topic changed, and at this time, the shopkeeper should know that she was coming to him today, and everyone was gone.

"Listen to what you say, do you know this shopkeeper, you know a lot about the situation here, if you don't know, I really don't believe it."

Xu Luoyang caught Xiao Hanxi's eyes that wanted to escape this time, but in fact, Xiao Hanxi didn't know why he did it that time.

"I don't know, but I don't think the shopkeeper is what you think, and it doesn't have to be anything."

The place where the department store is located is relatively remote and the light is dim, so a candlestick is placed every meter between the candles in the department, so that the department store is bright everywhere and the objects can be seen clearly.

In an instant, the door of the department store was suddenly blown by a gust of wind, and the doors on both sides made a loud noise against the wall, and most of the candles in the room were extinguished, and the light was quickly weakened.

Xu Luoyang and Xiao Hanxi were so blown by this strange wind that they couldn't open their eyes, their clothes were fluttering, and the green silk on their heads was also blown messy.

Xu Luoyang: "Chilly, are we wolves in the mouth of a tiger?" Why is the wind so strong, it's hard to open your eyes. ”

As she spoke, all the candles in the room were extinguished, leaving only darkness, and the sound of crumbling objects on the shelves in the room could not be heard by listening to the sound, and it seemed that they were going to fall in the next second.

Xiao Hanxi struggled to squeeze a slit out of his eyes, and saw a dark shadow swirling there in the door of the department store, and he knew what was going on.

shouted at the black shadow: "Shopkeeper, have you changed your outfit, if you don't hurry up, your place should be ruined."

The shopkeeper who was changing clothes outside the door heard Xiao Hanxi's words, and immediately stopped spinning, this time he changed into a black robe, wearing a black scarf on his head, he straightened the hanging strips of clothes, and then brushed his hair back.

Then he walked in as if he were a serious man, and as he entered, he snapped his fingers a few times, and in an instant the little flames on the candles appeared one by one, and lit up the whole room.

Xu Luoyang recognized it as the shopkeeper, and the good guy finally appeared.

"Shopkeeper, you must give me a reason today, how can you give me a map? It's going to push me into the fire pit! Xu Luoyang shouted loudly at the shopkeeper.

Xiao Hanxi also helped Xu Luoyang speak: "Yes, shopkeeper, are you a little too much this time."

The shopkeeper walked leisurely to the counter, wiped the counter with a burlap, and blew on it with his mouth.

"It's not the shopkeeper, aren't you too doggy."

Xu Luoyang saw that he hadn't listened to them talk about this matter at all, so he was very dissatisfied, and rolled up his sleeves and wanted to do it. Frame pose.

It was the first time Xiao Hanxi saw the girl's family so bold, and in front of two men, she showed her slender hands with white skin in public, which was really another big discovery

The shopkeeper stopped what he was doing and looked up at her, his voice was faint, not as sissy as before: "Female guest officer, why are you angry?"

Xu Luoyang laughed angrily, "What, if I am beaten with sixty boards and put in prison, do you think it is possible for me to come to you now and settle accounts with you?" ”

"Female guest officer, you don't have to be angry. Besides, why don't you stand here and talk to me now? "The shopkeeper's slowness is authentic.

Xiao Hanxi: "Shopkeeper, what do you mean by this?"

When Xu Luoyang heard the shopkeeper say this, her heart almost went into arrest, and after sorting out her emotions, she continued to settle accounts with the shopkeeper: "Hehe, you said this very well, as if you knew that I would be fine."

Shopkeeper: "Exactly!"

Xu Luoyang felt that he had heard it wrong, "What, what is exactly?" I think you're talking big, why didn't you tell me that the broken picture was terrible. ”

"You also tricked me."

Shopkeeper: "Female guest officer, do you have anything to do now?" Do you have any discomfort, or missing arms and legs? ”

"No, I'm here to protect myself, otherwise I'd be in prison now." Xu Luoyang clenched his hand and slammed it heavily on the counter, followed by the pain in his hand.

Xiao Hanxi looked at it in pain, "Luo Yang, why don't you listen to the shopkeeper first." ”

It really hurts to punch down the hand, and now the foot hurt and now it is replaced by a hand, Xu Luoyang said: "Okay, you can tell me what is going on today, if you don't say this, I will definitely settle this account."

Shopkeeper: "I have nothing to say to the female guest officer......"

Xu Luoyang: "Cold, let's see if this person is ......"

The shopkeeper didn't finish speaking, Xu Luoyang interjected, Xu Luoyang didn't finish speaking, Xiao Hanxi gave the shopkeeper a look, she tilted her head and looked at Xiao Hanxi, what does he mean?

The shopkeeper received Xiao Hanxi's eyes, nodded lightly, and with a narrow smile on his face, he looked at Xu Luoyang.

"Female guest officer, you're going to set off for Liancheng tomorrow!"

"Ahh Xu Luoyang saw this Xiao Hanxi glaring at the shopkeeper, a question mark sprouted in her head, and she heard the shopkeeper say this.

She was the only one who knew about her going to Liancheng, oh no, there was also the Rainbow Phoenix, but it should be back in Lingbi Valley by now.

Xu Luoyang: "How do you know?"

Shopkeeper: "Of course I know, what the result of the map was a few days ago, I also know, you can rest assured that the last time was harmless to you, and the evil will turn into good fortune on you."

The words of this shopkeeper made Xu Luoyang more and more confused, and he didn't say anything first, but he could actually know that she was going to Liancheng.

Xiao Hanxi thought about the Liancheng side, the road is far away, and it is the closest city near the border pass, the environment is not better than the capital, it is quite bad. Moreover, Liancheng heard that the law and order over there were more chaotic, even if the imperial court wanted to take care of it, he would send a few adults down, and as for what happened after that, the imperial court ignored it and almost let it take its course.

Xiao Hanxi: "Luo Yang, what are you going to do in Liancheng?"

Xu Luoyang couldn't say that he was doing things, he could only say: "I must have had something important in the past."

Shopkeeper: "Since the female guest officer is going, this is a bit dangerous, you might as well wait for a day to go, tomorrow is not right."

Xu Luoyang: "No, shopkeeper, can you not be so weird every time you speak, just give me a reason, I just go to Liancheng, I have to pick a good day and an auspicious day!"

Shopkeeper: "If you choose to go back in a day, you can graciously pick up something at my department store."

Xiao Hanxi: "Shopkeeper, then I should go with me, do I have one?"

Since he knew this department store, he had never seen it pour out a free thing, and now it gave it to Xu Luoyang twice. And he hasn't had a single one, and he hasn't taken care of business for so long.

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, and immediately turned into a ruthless face: "What, you want to be cold?" Do you have enough money? ”

Xiao Hanxi: "......"

Xu Luoyang knew that she could choose, but Xiao Hanxi could only pay out of her own pocket, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and finally laughed.

Xiao Hanxi looked at Xu Luoyang laughing at him, refused to admit defeat in his heart, took out a silver ticket on his waist, and patted it on the counter very generously: "How is it, is it enough?"

The shopkeeper looked at the silver ticket and seemed satisfied, he nodded gradually, then took out a small mahogany carved box and handed it to Xiao Hanxi.

"Take whatever you draw!"

Xiao Hanxi reached in with confidence and stirred inside, but he couldn't see what was inside the box, he wanted to take out a valuable one, which could be worth the amount of silver tickets.

The last time he came back, he drew "Wan Guo Policy", which talks about the military strategies of previous dynasties, as well as the reform of the law between various dynasties, with profound ideological connotations, complex and clear logical thinking.

When he drew this book, except for the silver that was spent in vain, it was gone, and it only cost more than 30 yuan to buy this book outside, so he spent a thousand silver tickets to draw a lonely.

After going back, he still had to make a good living for it, and felt that no matter how cheap it was outside, it would have cost a thousand in his eyes.

Xu Luoyang was curious that he would draw something, after all, a thousand big numbers were written on the silver ticket, "How about it, take it out quickly." ”

Xiao Hanxi: "I'll estimate and touch it again."

"The heavenly spirit is spiritual, the heavenly monarch is about to manifest the spirit, the left green dragon, the right white tiger, and all the gods and goddesses come to help." Xiao Hanxi muttered to himself.

Xiao Hanxi took out a note from the box and opened it with confidence, and Xu Luoyang also came over to take a look to see if he had drawn anything good.

Xiao Hanxi opened it, his face turned a lot whiter, and he held up the note to the shopkeeper: "No, what am I smoking here, the shopkeeper is a book last time, and this time it is a pair of jade bracelets, am I a man, do you let me wear these?"

Xu Luoluo: "Hanxi, you also spent a thousand lottery last time, and the result was a book."

Xiao Hanxi: "Well, I wasn't lucky enough last time, but this time I have a problem with this box."

The shopkeeper put the mahogany carved box below and explained to him: "This pair of jade bracelets is emerald green, is a pair of love tokens, depicted with concentric knots, exquisite craftsmanship and clear stripes, is the last masterpiece of the previous dynasty Liao Qi master, the only pair in the world, the meaning is to live together, affection. And on and on.

"There is a story to this pair of jade bracelets, which is why this pair of jade bracelets was created."

"Then this is ......"

Xiao Hanxi was interrupted by Xu Luoyang before she finished speaking, she still wanted to hear what this story was about, and stopped Xiao Hanxi: "Shopkeeper, can you tell me what the story is?"

Shopkeeper: "Want to hear?"

Xu Luoyang nodded frantically, she had always liked this kind of meaningful thing, "Of course, you talk to me." ”

Xiao Hanxi was stopped by Xu Luoyang, he wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, the people in front were very interested in this story, and he also listened to it.

Shopkeeper: "This pair of jade bracelets is the masterpiece of Master Liao Qi of the previous dynasty, she was originally a small jewelry shop in the capital, in the capital because of the jewelry made again and again, countless young ladies rushed to book, and later everyone in the capital called her master."
