Chapter 734: Origin
The shape of the jade pendant is not the same as the common at this time, it is made of Hetian mutton fat white jade, it is just a circle, about the size of the baby's palm, there is no carved cloud pattern, fish pattern, but it is hollowed out and carved two round peaches symmetrically on the left and right, and six plum blossoms on the left and right, among which the peach leaves, plum branches, peach fruits, plum blossoms have different shapes, from the tip of the peach to the core of the plum blossom, all are lifelike.
If there are sharp-eyed people here, you can see at a glance, the peach tip color of this piece of jade pendant is some yellow-green, and the color of plum blossoms is some yellow, although the original jade is Hetian white jade, but the jade quality is not pure white and flawless, because of this, it is given to the skilled craftsman along the jade, the color carved this piece of jade pendant out, turning waste into treasure, using it very cleverly, I can't say that I want to take it out and boast about it.
But in Xu Liang's eyes, it is not the same thing at all.
He stretched out his hand and pulled the jade pendant suddenly, not caring that the thread on his head was still hanging on the neck of the black-faced young man surnamed Sun, he had already pulled the other party's whole person in front of him, squinting his eyes and looking at the jade pendant.
"What do you want to do?"
Xu Liang grabbed the jade pendant in his hand, and the old man who had been following the young man jumped up, he was standing behind, at this time, he rushed forward in three steps and two steps, and hurriedly slapped Xu Liang's hand hard, staring at him fiercely, and scolded: "In broad daylight, are you trying to forcibly rob other people's property?!" ”
Xu Liang's eyes widened, he couldn't hear anything in his ears, he only stared at the jade pendant, and only raised his head after a long time, and said to the young man: "Where did you get the jade pendant!" Where is the owner of the jade pendant?! ”
The black-faced young man on the side had already had seven or eight points of alcohol, and he pulled his neck, but he didn't know how to struggle, but he also knew the pain, grabbed the rope at the back of his neck with one hand, looked back at Xu Liang with a blank face, and asked, "What...... What the...... Jade...... Jade pendant? ”
As he spoke, he looked down at the jade pendant hanging around his neck, looked stunned, and said with a big tongue: "You said this?" It's my mother's own ...... Quanzhou ...... Bought in Quanzhou Treasure Workshop. ”

Sangda stared at the piece of silver in front of him.
The silver block is square, I am afraid that it is not as high as a knuckle, the length and width of an inch, less black and yellow, and more silver, and the color is excellent at a glance.
He couldn't help but reach out and weigh it, only to feel the heaviness in his hand, and secretly said: This large piece of silver, I'm afraid there are two or three taels?
Sang Da's heart was already very hot, but he had been in the market for many years, but he was not easy to fool, he swallowed his saliva, raised his head again to look at Xu Liang opposite, and asked suspiciously: "What are you asking him to do?" ”
Xu Liang said impatiently: "You don't care if I ask him what he does, I don't want to take a piece of the pie from you, and don't ask you for the water you got from Cai's shop, just ask you where he came from, is this three taels of snowflake silver enough?" ”
That piece of silver was placed in the past, and it could have pried Sangda's mouth open hundreds of times, even if he wanted to pour horse urine into it, he could swallow it with a smile and praise, "This water is so thirst-quenching!" However, this time, he changed his temperament, cleared his throat seriously, and said: "If you want to inquire about the side from me, I will also say, but you want to inquire about the little brother Sun, I have received his favor, but I will not say it again, although he has a few dollars in the family, but people do not go through much, if they are coaxed, where can I stand it......"
Sang Da was about to go on, but he heard a sneer from the other side.
I only heard Xu Liang sneer: "You are willing to take him to the Cai family's shop to gamble money, where is the appearance of his favor!" We've known each other for so many years, and you and I were as stupid as before? Such a big silver brick, you don't want it, I'll ask someone else! He has been in the capital for seven or eight days, I can't pry your mouth, can't I pry open the mouths of others? ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to get the money back.
Sang Da hurriedly put the silver in his arms, and said with a smile: "Xu Daguan, this is a noble person, what do you want to ask here, but if you ask, if it doesn't hurt the heavens and reason, I will answer it truthfully!" ”
But there are some doubts in my heart: this Xu family has long been down, there is a sick old lady in the family, who has to take medicine all the year round, and Xu Liang gambles day and night, how much silver can make light, the whole door is so poor that the ancestral property is sold out, why do you suddenly have so much money?
Thinking like this, he looked up at Xu Liang's hand, and sure enough, he saw that the jade wrench on the other party's left thumb was gone.
Sang Da has been making a piece of hob meat in this market for decades, and he has almost touched the situation of every household clearly, so he naturally knows that this jade wrench is an heirloom left by the ancestors of the Xu family, even if everything in the family is fine, this thing is not moving. Last time, Xu Liang lost cleanly in Cai's shop, and others coaxed him to bet on the wrench, but he gambled on his head, but he couldn't help it, and he didn't want to get to today, so he still went out.
It seems that the Xu family is really exhausted.
Sang Da watched the decline of the Xu family, but he also knew Xu Liang's temperament, and knew that although he couldn't support the wall, he could get rid of bad gambling, and he was quite reliable in his actions on weekdays, not spilling money all over the world.
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard Xu Liang ask: "You just tell me, what is the origin of the surname Sun, and what are the people in the family?" ”
Sang Da hesitated for a moment, and replied: "That kid's name is Sun Jia, the family is from Yongzhou, he went to the side of the year, he found out the news, first took something to hide in Quanzhou, lived in Quanzhou for a year or two, because there are few good academies in that place, and the family wants him to conduct scientific research, so he sent people to the capital, who knows how to get the place, there are no relatives to vote, it was to go south to collect grain, only a few women and children are at home, he is not good to go in to live, so he went to Renhe Restaurant to live in the house. ”
He chose what he could say from the mouth of the black-faced little prince Sun Jia, but he didn't reveal anything more detailed.
The two of them asked and answered, and they talked for half a cup of tea, only to listen to Xu Liang ask about Sun Jia's affairs in Quanzhou over and over again.
Sang Da didn't notice it at first, and said strangely: "What are you asking about?" But when he answered, he suddenly came to his senses and exclaimed, "Your sister! What's it called...... Is it Quanzhou that you married?! ”
