Chapter 304: Buying Pearls
After Jin Yuanjing finished eating, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach, and said that he was going to the toilet, and after a while, Runye stood up, looked at Xu Jingyi and said, "I'll go see the pearl too." ”
Fang Cai Runye said about the pearl medicine before eating, Xu Jingyi nodded again and again, and said, "The matter of curing the disease and saving people, but I still hope that the Taoist will return within half an hour." ”
When Zhu Hongyu heard that Runye was going to buy pearls, she thought to herself that this doctor was really thinking about curing diseases and saving people everywhere.
However, pearl powder is the best grade in medicinal materials, and it is okay to buy it at night.
Runye walked out of the door with his hands behind his back, looking a little distressed. Zhu Hongyu thought to herself, buying things is such a happy thing, why bother with this runye?
But it's strange that it's strange, a few days of fatigue make Zhu Hongyu physically and mentally exhausted, she feels that it is important for her to rest at this time, as for when can't she buy pearls?
Zhu Hongyu looked at Amber and said, "I'm not feeling well now, go and make a bed on the carriage and sleep." Call me when you leave. ”
Amber heard her sister say this, stood up, and saw Vermilion go out the door, walking towards the carriage outside the door.
In the hall, only Amber and Xu Jingyi were left, staring at each other with big eyes.
"Girl, we'll be back to Bianjing soon, along the way, these brothers of mine are quite competent, right?"
Hearing Xu Jingyi ask like this, Zhu Amber didn't hear any off-string sounds.
"Master Xu, you ...... This way was loyal and courageous, and when the ship fell into the water, it also turned the tide. Naturally, no one else has done more along the way than you. ”
Xu Jingyi nodded happily when she heard Zhu Amber speak like this.
"Girl, since you think that our brother is satisfied with his work, then go back and say a few kind words for me and my brothers. I don't expect to be promoted and get rich, I just hope that Lord Lu is satisfied. Rushing back to Bianjing in time is not a dereliction of duty on our brothers......"
Zhu Amber nodded hurriedly.
She knew that she had no right to speak in front of Lu Mingci, but she still had a rod and scale in her heart to help Xu Jingyi tell the truth. People are doing a good job.
"Yes, it's nature. To be honest, this time I was walking on the road, and I was thinking about how I could get to Bianjing in time. But who would have thought that people are not as good as the sky, and this year is really cold...... Hey, it's good to go to Bianjing, this went out in a big circle, from Ganzhou to Liangzhou, and then from Bianjing to Baoji, it's really ...... It's like a dream. ”
Xu Jingyi saw that Zhu Amber spoke with a maturity that did not match his age, and he was also a person who used to have a family, so he couldn't help but feel distressed when he heard Amber say this.
"Is the girl sixteen years old?" Xu Jingyi asked tentatively, hearing this, Amber was really a little happy.
When serving by Lu Mingci's side, he was often said by Lu Mingci to be young.
Now Xu Jingyi looks at her like an adult......
"Not yet, much smaller than you think."
Xu Jingyi smiled heartily, looked at Zhu Amber and shook his head.
Amber didn't understand what Xu Jingyi meant, for fear that Xu Jingyi was dissatisfied with him or something.
"Xu Ye...... Is there anything you would like to advise? ”
Xu Jingyi shook his head, he just felt sorry for the girl in front of him, and as for the advice, he still didn't dare to say anything.
"I absolutely didn't mean to tell you! I used to have a girl, and I wanted to marry her to a rich family, but when I saw your sister and you, I felt that I should not regard marriage as a change of life. ”
Amber felt novel, because Xu Jingyi had never said anything about her daughter.
"Why are you so sentimental all of a sudden that you're still talking to me about these things?"
Xu Jingyi showed a difficult smile.
"Because, my girl once divorced once. After that, my wife and I reconciled, and after so many years, I have been thinking about how to redeem myself, and I don't feel that I have done anything wrong. Later, when I saw you and Sister Ling, I felt that I had been stubborn for many years. ”
Zhu Amber looked at the man with curious eyes, and now in her world, having children is still a long, long topic.
She looked at Xu Jingyi, and it was hard to imagine that such a man would have a child.
"And now?"
"After that, I didn't have any contact with them, and we were happy with each other."
Zhu Amber didn't believe in the nonsense of being happy with each other, Xu Jingyi had been escorted by their convoy for two months, and his living habits were actually very bad. You can smoke one pouch per cigarette.
My sister said Xu Jingyi many times because of this incident, but Xu Jingyi still didn't listen, and still went her own way.
Later, my sister didn't talk about it, and she told Amber many reasons why smoking was bad, none of which she understood.
"My sister once warned you to smoke less, I think after this and separation, you have not become better, but even worse."
Xu Jingyi admits this, but he doesn't want to continue the topic anymore.
"By the way, I think Sister Ling has a good relationship with adults, I don't know what the relationship was before?"
Zhu Amber looked at Xu Jingyi and showed an embarrassed smile.
"My sister once went to Yunmeng Town to treat the plague, and at that time she met Lord Lu who was ordered to inspect. Then the two of them met. After that, my sister was enshrined by the emperor because of her meritorious service in curing the plague, and it was Lord Lu who came to pass the decree. That was the first time I saw Master Lu, who was majestic and heroic. I just liked it. ”
Xu Jingyi looked at Zhu Amber with admiring eyes, as a man, he actually admired this girl's courage.
"It turns out that Master Lu knows you like this."
Zhu Amber's eyes quickly recalled his life for more than half a year.
It's changed, everything has changed.
The life that should have been there has disappeared completely, and she has completed a transformation in more than half a year's life.
It's like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, painful but meaningful.
"That's right, I was just a village girl at the time. Just learn a little bit more than others. When my family was still poor, I went to Sanguan Temple to learn to read and write medicine with Rundao Chang, and then when I moved into the house, I followed my brother to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, and practiced the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Then in Wudang Mountain, I met Jin Daochang and learned to talk with Jin Daochang in a car. Stop-and-go all the way, no stops. It was all arranged by my sister, and I thank her for giving me this honor of being by Lord Lu's side. ”
Xu Jingyi listened to Zhu Amber's words, and for a while he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Girl, if you live in Bianjing for a long time, you are welcome to come to my house often. Now, I'm going out and smoking a bag of cigarettes. ”
Xu Jingyi thoughtfully walked out of the lobby of the restaurant, Zhu Amber sighed, took out the silver taels for eating from his purse, and asked the store to make a pot of tea and sit in the lobby to drink.
I hope that this group of brocade guards can come back on time, after all, they still have to hurry.
Runye walked into one of the largest pearl shops in Zhuji with a heavy heart.
He was wearing a Taoist robe, and his eyes were shy.
Walk into the pearl shop and take a closer look at the pearl ornaments hanging on the walls.
Jewels, under the light of the candle, there is a saturated glow.
"Hello Daoye."
The owner of the pearl shop stepped up from behind the counter and saluted Runye.
Daomen has the saying of "seven treasures", and pearls are among them. These seven treasures are usually placed in front of the idol for worship.
It is a common thing for Taoist priests to come to buy pearls in the temple.
"Is the Taoist here to buy one of the Seven Treasures?"
Runye thought for a moment and nodded.
The boss was very excited, because the pearl seller said that doing business with a Taoist priest would bring good luck.
"Dao Chief, I'm here to introduce you to the best Dongzhu ...... we have here."
"I'd like to buy some round, shiny, good-sized pearls with holes in the middle."
Runye tentatively said his request for Pearl, and the boss fell silent again, and after a long time he understood Runye's request.
"Is the Taoist chief making a divine cloak for the gods? Embroider pearls on the gods, we have many such pearls here, please come with me. ”
The boss still had a smile on his face, he took Runye to the counter on the right, lifted the red cloth, and saw that the rice bucket under the red cloth was full of pearls.
There are seven rice buckets in total, and the pearls in each rice bucket are of different sizes.
"What is the price of these pearls?" After asking this sentence, Runye felt a little weak.
When the boss saw Runye asking, he also knew that Runye was not particularly rich, and of course he also did small business.
"Dao Chief, the smallest pearl in our store is five coins a pound of silver."
Runye glanced at the little pearl with disdain.
"Dao Chief, this kind of small pearl is dedicated to the gods, and there are many goods."
Runye knew that some places would use pearls to worship the gods, that is, put a plate of pearls to worship in front of the statue, but this kind of small pearl was really inappropriate to give to Vermilion.
After that, Runye was picky and chosen, and still felt that among the seven rice buckets, the big pearls were much better than the small pearls.
"How do you sell the biggest pearl of this kind?"
The boss glanced at Mi Dou, to be honest, if the guest wanted Dongzhu, he just introduced this person to see the treasures, but this one didn't go to see it, just choose it here, and ask for the largest, and the color can only be described as "general".
"This pearl ...... It's more expensive, a penny of silver. ”
A penny of silver?
Obviously, Runye is a big expense for Runye who has fallen into the water, but ...... Runye had already made up her mind in her heart.
"I want twenty pearls with a hole in the middle, and it's best to string them together for me so that they can be carried."
As he spoke, Runye took out two crumpled silver tickets from the dark pocket in the deepest part of his sleeve.
The boss looked at it for a long time, and then he clearly recognized that it was the silver ticket of Ganzhou, and the handwriting on it was a little blurry, but it was definitely true.
"Okay, I'll do it for you!"
The boss received the silver from Runye, so he naturally understood and hurried to Runye to do it.
Seeing the boss running for himself, beads pierced, Runye lowered his head and smiled, as if he was thinking about something happy.
He hadn't been so happy in a long time.
I hope Zhu Hongyu will like this pearl after seeing it......
Zhu Hongyu got up from sleep in the car, and found that no one had called her to get up, so she quickly got out of the car, walked to the lobby of the hotel, and saw Jin Yiwei restlessly circling in the lobby.
Zhu Hongyu, who didn't know what was going on, hurriedly walked up to Amber and asked, "What's the matter, why don't everyone leave?" ”
Amber sighed and whispered: "Rundao Chang hasn't come back yet, of course everyone is anxious, besides, this is the root of the year, and we are also afraid that Rundao will have an accident." ”
Zhu Hongyu frowned, thinking to herself how could this Runye be so unreasonable!
"Wait, if he doesn't show up again, I'll have to look for ......"
