"The Tibetan Mission...... Hey, Brother Chang, wait for me, what does this Tibetan monk have to do with the Tibetan Mission. "Xiao Yu is about to chase Chang Tai out.

Xing Ruyi shook his head, and said in his heart that this Tibetan monk still has anything to do with the Tibetan Mission, it is all from the same place.

The front foot sent Chang Tai away, and the back foot ushered in a girl with a pearl.

"Pearls?"

"Yes, I heard that the shopkeeper can grind pearls into powder and make them into facedressing, so I came." The girl carefully placed the black brocade box she was holding on the table, and then took off the hood on her head: "I have something on my face, it has been a long time, and the sisters in the workshop said that applying pearl powder to the face can relieve it." I happened to get a pearl recently, and I saw that the condition was not bad, so I wanted to bring it to the shopkeeper to show you. ”

"You've got acne on your face." Xing Ruyi took a closer look at the girl's face.

"Does this pearl powder work?"

"It works, but it needs to be used for a long time, and it has to be combined with internal conditioning. If this is an external application, I am afraid that some of the symptoms will not cure the root cause. ”

"Great." The girl hurriedly pushed the black brocade box in front of Xing Ruyi: "Shopkeeper, if I use the pearls I brought, can I ...... in terms of silver?"

"I'll only charge you a small processing fee." Seeing the girl's embarrassment, Xing Ruyi smiled and opened the black brocade box: "The girl wants to grind all this pearl necklace into powder?" ”

"Yes! Trouble shopkeeper. ”

"It's not troublesome, it's just that although this pearl is good, it is not much ground into powder, and it can't be applied a few times simply for the face. Well, I'll grind some more almond flour for you, and when the girl comes home, mix the two powders together, add egg yolks, stir well, and use them for a few more days. ”

"Thank you for the showcase." The girl got up and gave a blessing, and Xing Ruyi had already taken the pearl necklace out of the box.

As soon as she got it in her hand, she felt that this string of pearls was a little familiar, and then took a closer look, this chain fruit was broken, and after visual comparison, she felt that the pearl in Chang Tai's hand had a 99% chance of coming from this necklace.

"Is the girl going to grind it into a fine powder or a coarse powder?"

"Is this fine powder or coarse powder better?"

"The finer the pearl powder, the better, the finer the powder, the easier it is for the skin to absorb, and the better the effect will be."

"Then ask the shopkeeper to help me grind it into fine powder."

"Okay, it's just that it takes a long time to grind this into fine powder, I don't know if the girl can wait."

"How long will it take?"

"At least two hours." Xing Ruyi stretched out two fingers.

"Two hours?" The girl thought about it for a while, and then looked at the pearl necklace that was held in her hand: "Two hours, I'm afraid I can't wait." ”

"The girl has two principles, this one, the girl takes this pearl necklace back first, and then comes back when she has time. Second, if the girl can trust me, she will keep the chain, and after I have ground it into powder, she will send it to the girl. ”

"This—" The girl hesitated.

"Don't worry, the girl thinks about it first. This pearl is of excellent color and very precious, and the girl is right to be careful. Xing Ruyi put the pearl necklace back in the box.

"Put it here at the shopkeeper." The girl sat down, took a few deep breaths, and then stood up again: "If this is another shop, I may still be a little worried in my heart, but who is the shopkeeper?" If nothing else, the clothes worn by the shopkeeper are more expensive than my beads. ”

"Is my dress expensive?" Xing Ruyi looked down at what he was wearing.

Most of her clothes came from the Splendid Workshop, some were ready-to-wear, and some were made by the masters in the Splendid Workshop by herself, but the ones who paid were foxes.

"The shopkeeper's clothes and the shoes on his feet are all from Splendid Workshop, right?"

"yes."

"That girl knows that just the shoes on the girl's feet can provide for ordinary people to live for four or five years."

"Ordinary people live for four or five years, so wouldn't they have to pay a few hundred taels of silver?" Xing Ruyi hurriedly looked at the shoes on his feet: "The fabric is good, the workmanship is fine, and the embroidery on the upper is even more exquisite, but no matter how good the shoes are, they are not worth so much money, right?" The stinky fox didn't tell me to go out and step on the mud every day in such expensive shoes. Oh my God, these shoes are equivalent to the luxury goods in the clothing category of this period. ”

"Fox?"

"Oh, my fiancé, because his name is so weird, I gave him a funny nickname." Xing Ruyi explained, but saw that the girl's eyes were wide.

The shopkeeper gave his husband a nickname, and he also used a bad word. Won't he be angry then? ”

"Yes, but he's angry with him, I call me. Anyway, it's him who is angry, it's not me, I'm really angry, and it's him who takes medicine and suffers. Xing Ruyi winked playfully: "It's a pity, according to his special physique, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him sick in his lifetime." ”

"The husband of the shopkeeper must be the most favored shopkeeper." The girl's eyes showed a look of envy: "This pearl will be placed here in the shopkeeper, and after the shopkeeper grinds it into powder, I will come and get it." ”

"Girl, wait a minute." Xing Ruyi called her: "The girl has been here for a long time, but she hasn't had time to ask the girl's name."

"My name is Lu Shuang, and I am a girl from Liuyunfang."

"Liuyun Fang, is that Liuyun Fang?" Xing Ruyi pointed to the east.

Miss Lu Shuang nodded: "Yes, it's that Liuyun Fang." ”

"Great, I've always wanted to go in and have a look, but unfortunately I never got the chance. I heard that the girls in Liuyunfang have the best playing skills in Luoyang City. Look at the hands of the two girls, you should be playing the pipa, right? ”

Lu Shuang looked at his hand and asked, "Can you see this?" I do play the lute. ”

"Is it studious? I wanted to learn this when I was young, but unfortunately my family was poor and couldn't afford to hire a master. Now that I'm older, I can afford it, but I don't know where to hire a master, and I don't know if other masters are willing to teach students of my age. ”

"The shopkeeper is a noble person, why bother to learn these tricks to please people." Lu Shuang shook his head.

Xing Ruyi smiled and didn't continue.

In her opinion, being able to play the pipa is a talent, but in Lu Shuang's place, it is used to please guests and make herself a means to live. Depending on the position you stand and the difference you see, your thoughts will naturally be different. She is not Lu Shuang, she can't understand Lu Shuang's mood, Lu Shuang is not her, and she can't understand why she wants to learn to play the pipa.

"Wait a minute, girl, I'll crush these pearls in front of her, and I'll see how many of them. The amount of this ground pearl is about the same after crushing. ”

"No, Lu Shuang can trust the shopkeeper." Lu Shuang also smiled: "When Lu Shuang saw the shopkeeper take the pearls out of the box, but there was no special expression on his face, Lu Shuang knew that there was no problem with putting the pearls in the shopkeeper." To put it more clearly, it is a particularly good thing in Lu Shuang's eyes, but in the eyes of the shopkeeper, it is just an ordinary thing. If it's an ordinary thing, how can a shopkeeper do those things? ”

Xing Ruyi smiled weakly: "The girl misunderstood, it's not in my eyes, it's an ordinary thing, but I'm not very interested in these things." There is no difference between this superb pearl and ordinary pearl in my eyes. The effect of this powder made from grinding with the finest pearls is similar to that of grinding from ordinary pearls. Of course, if you wear it, it is more attractive to be a high-quality pearl. ”

"Isn't there a difference?" Lu Shuang looked at the pearl necklace.

"When you grind it into powder, the difference is not huge. So, I suggest you think again, girl. If you just apply a face, you can use ordinary pearls. Or, the girl can also do this, grind half of the pearl into powder, and leave the other half to make earrings or something, which is also very beautiful. ”

"If you only grind half of it, won't it be enough?"

"It's okay, I also have some pearls here, the girl can choose some and grind them into powder. You can just compare it to see if there is a big difference between this pearl powder ground with the best pearls and ordinary pearls. ”

Lu Shuang seemed to be a little moved, but after thinking about it for a while, he still shook his head: "Forget it, let's ask the shopkeeper to grind all the beads into powder." ”

Looking at the back of Lu Shuang's departure, Xing Ruyi sighed. She could see that Lu Shuang loved this string of pearls very much, and she insisted on grinding the pearls into powder, the biggest possibility was that she didn't want this string of pearls to be seen. In other words, the string of pearls in Lu's hands must have been obtained through abnormal means.

Lu Shuang, the girl in charge of playing the pipa in Liuyunfang.

Tibetan monk, a foreign monk who lives in Yuelai Inn.

What is the relationship between them? Why was this pearl left at the scene of the Tibetan monk's corpse?

Was it an accident, or was it a coincidence?

Xing Ruyi took off the pearls one by one, carefully wiped them and put them in a grinding jar. After thinking about it, he took out one from it and put it in the black brocade box that Lu Shuang left before.

"The shopkeeper's ...... Are you there, shopkeeper? ”

Before the pearl was crushed, I heard the sound of the little catcher. When I looked up, I saw Xiao Yu running in panting.

"The shopkeeper, I really made you right, the Tibetan monk jumped out of the window."

"Really?" Xing Ruyi stopped what he was doing.

"Really, really, Brother Chang and I took people to the Yuelai Inn, and found some soil on the windowsill of the room where the Tibetan monk lived, and there were some things mixed with the soil, gravel. This kind of soil can only be found by the moat. The Tibetan monk must have often gone to the moat to leave these things on the windowsill. In addition, on the outer wall of the Panda Inn, we also found footprints. Through the comparison, the footprints on this wall are exactly the same as those of the Tibetan monk. ”

"Any other clues?" Xing Ruyi asked.

"No, I've found these for the time being. Brother Chang asked me to come over and talk to the shopkeeper and ask if you have any other ideas. He was still at the Yuelai Inn, hoping to find more clues related to the Tibetan monk. ”

"You didn't find it there, but I have a new clue here." Xing Ruyi said, opened the black brocade box, and took out the pearl from it.
