Chapter One Hundred and Five. Beauty on the side
Beauty, wine, food, all the things that men in the world crave are placed in front of Chu Yunfei, but at this time, he doesn't know how to eat, because everything has not yet been sorted out, but he faintly feels in his heart that this matter will be very tricky, and what makes him headache even more, and what he has no answer to so far is where are those people hiding? Even if a plate of dragon meat was placed in front of him now, she was not completely out of appetite.
The cuckoo sat in the middle as the master, she didn't stick to Chu Yunfei in front of her gently, nor did she pay too much attention to Ye Huan's teasing, she only diligently instructed the girl to keep picking vegetables for Ye Huan.
"You don't expect to plug his mouth with these dishes, do you? He's not an easy person to be content, and if he gets hooked on the cook's craft, he's afraid you won't be able to leave. Chu Yunfei raised his wine glass, and there was a faint smile on his face.
Ye Huan didn't care about answering, and the "hmm" in his mouth was answered twice, and then he kept stuffing all kinds of delicacies into his mouth. Chu Yunfei sighed secretly in his heart, it's good to be young, although Ye Huan is only three years younger than him, but his mentality is still a child, if he takes off his childishness, he will become a strong support, right? Otherwise, he just doesn't care about this case at all, as the saying goes, lice on other people's heads don't itch, right?
A trace of electric light suddenly flashed in Chu Yunfei's mind, he felt as if something had touched the switch of the whole thing, those people did not leave any flaws, although that place was too ordinary, but after all, there were still some places that would attract attention, such as ...... The pearl of the night? Isn't the cuckoo in front of you the best expert? Chu Yun Feiyun spoke lightly, and he asked leisurely, "Du Juan, you should know something about precious jewelry, right?" Do you know anything about the lost pearl of the night in the palace? Is it really as precious as the legend suggests? ”
Ye Huan, who was eating happily, stopped his chopsticks. The cuckoo was obviously a little surprised, she was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she said slowly: "Okay, then I'll tell you what I know." The night pearl is a legendary treasure, also known as 'bright moon pearl', 'luminous bi' and so on, it is the best in the treasure jade! Legend has it that in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the night pearl was used to represent the sun, moon and stars in the sky. As for its brilliance, the history books say that Guo Kuang, the brother-in-law of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, has a night pearl, 'hanging pearls and hanging down, looking at it like a star during the day, and looking at it like the moon at night'. But the night pearl is only the emperor's family will have things, ordinary people can not see it, the people in the past only knew that the night pearl is precious, but since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the night pearl is regarded as a god-given treasure, coupled with the literati and rioters, the origin and legend of the night pearl are described as godlike, Wu Zetian once gave his grandson Li Longji the night pearl, and later Li Longji became the emperor, and also revitalized the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. Even when the emperors of previous dynasties ascended the throne and the crown prince returned to the court, the night pearl would be regarded as the 'treasure of the town' into the palace. This is probably the reason why the Empress Dowager Liao has loved the night pearl for a long time, right? Of course, in the Great Song Dynasty, there are some so-called night pearls that are not so precious, and I have two here, and it is said that compared with the night pearl in the palace, I can only call it a firefly. ”
"Ahem, ahem...... You have said so much, don't you want to say that the emperor gave the night pearl to the Liao State, and there is a special meaning, right? Could it be that he was planning to claim his vassal to the Liao State? In exchange for the peace of the world? It's not what matters, it's what it represents. After all, our Great Song Dynasty is rich and strong, how can we send such a valuable gift to the barbarian state? In my opinion, this bead is so good, it's just too good! Ye Huan interjected with an unhappy face.
"That's a good thing to say, but then we have to see what it means, although that bead is precious, but for the emperor, it is just a beloved thing, and it can also endure the pain. What's more, there is more than one night pearl in the emperor, and he must have chosen a gift that is not the most outstanding, but can be used. You also know that our emperor has never liked to dance with knives and guns, do you think he is really willing to watch the world fight again? Without waiting for Chu Yunfei to speak, Du Juan hurriedly explained.
Ye Huan spat out the fish bones and looked at Chu Yunfei with a smile: "You said that there are many more in the emperor's family?" Then the emperor didn't do this properly. ”
"Puff...... Chu Yunfei spit out all the wine he had just drunk, isn't the emperor authentic? I'm afraid that only Ye Huan can say such unreliable words in this world! "What do you mean by that?"
Ye Huan looked at him solemnly, and sighed leisurely: "Look, since the emperor has more than one night pearl, won't the next thing be easy?" Wouldn't it be nice to just pick one from the treasury? Why bother to spend so much time on it? Cut, isn't this the same as me throwing a sword...... Piece of cake. ”
"What's that easy? If this is the case, why should the emperor make a big move? Before exchanging gifts, the gift list has been handed to the other party in advance, and the size and image of the beads are also sent together, if the gift is exchanged at that time, it is extremely rude, and it may cause disputes again. Chu Yunfei glared at Ye Huan helplessly.
Ye Huan glared at Chu Yunfei in surprise and said lightly: "Okay, I didn't say anything!" Where did we go before? We move on...... You're going to find a clue, right? Otherwise, I'm going to be burdened by you. ”
"These days I will keep an eye on the dark market for you, and if the person who steals the beads wants to exchange it for a large sum of money, it will definitely not escape my eyes, and my friends on the road, I will keep an eye on it for you. But I guess they don't have that much courage. Du Juan looked at Chu Yunfei with a smile, "As for other things, I can't help much." ”
Chu Yunfei looked at the cuckoo with a little gratitude, she was really thoughtful, as long as it was something that the cuckoo wanted to pay attention to on the black market, there was never a mistake. is a famous prostitute in the capital, and the cuckoo is definitely not a simple character, otherwise can he live a peaceful life here? Because of this, it is even more rare for her to care so much about Chu Yunfei.
"Okay, let's look for some other clues, shall we? Don't tell me you're still confused. Ye Huan rubbed his stomach and burped contentedly, and then he said the question in his heart seriously.
Chu Yunfei smiled bitterly: "You have to let me take a breath, right?" As for the clues? I'd like to take you to meet someone first, maybe she has something I want to know. ”
