Immediately, the old man Hou hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and after the explanation of several colleagues who were more senior than him, the old man looked angrily at the so-called best jade Ruyi that he brought.

"Humph! You're in luck! But I don't believe it, can you still have a lifetime of good luck in Yinfu! ”

After saying that, the man walked away without grace. With this look, even Governor Ye couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

And Fang Fei's attention has been on the third uncle who has been crumbling since he entered the house, when he saw the third uncle who nodded again and again in the congratulations to everyone but couldn't even say a word, he whispered to Yin Yukui: "Uncle's face is very bad, let's go over and take a look." ”

It was also her precaution, Yin Congde at this time after learning that the jade dragon he carved had won the top again, the pressure and depression that had accumulated in his heart were instantly released, and then he finally couldn't help but look dark, and fell to the ground without saying a word.

"Uncle!" "Daddy!"

Fortunately, Fang Fei had already prepared for a doctor to wait outside, and after the diagnosis, she said that Yin Congde was sick from overwork and overfired, and the pressure during this time was too great to faint, and he needed to recuperate for a period of time but it was fine.

Yin Yukui finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then regardless of the congratulations of her peers, she asked her father to be carried back to recuperate. However, this situation made many fellow jade merchants feel very emotional, and they also felt that it was not easy for Yin Congde, the head leader, to come by, so many people who were sour and ridiculed before also changed their tone and began to praise him for his dedication and diligence, and he was a rare honest man.

Fang Fei was entrusted by Yin Yukui to be responsible for the aftermath of the Jade Competition. Just when she asked people to carefully put this flying dragon back into the brocade box and transport it back to the Yin Mansion, Ye Zhifu suddenly walked up to her and discussed with her: "Song Niangzi, this mansion has a reluctant request, I don't know if your Yin Mansion is willing to dedicate this jade flying dragon to the emperor as a congratulatory gift for the July Birthday Festival?" If you agree, then the government is willing to pay you the 15,000 taels of money you bought the jade out of its own money, but this title is still received by your Yin mansion, what do you think? ”

When Fang Fei heard this, she couldn't do anything, but she had to say that Governor Ye's proposal was very tempting.

Because if this jade flying dragon can really be favored and rewarded by the emperor, then for the Yin Mansion, it is not only a great honor, but also a golden lacquer signboard for future merchants, which is by no means comparable to one or two thousand silver.

So she said truthfully: "Thank you Lord Ye for your guidance, but I can't be the master of this matter, why don't you go to the house with me to have a cup of tea, and a few uncles and my grandmother will talk about this matter with your lord." ”

"That's great!"

Ye Zhifu nodded immediately, and then somehow, Lu Xiuyun also got into the carriage of Ye Mansion, looking like he was strolling leisurely, and naturally came to Yin Mansion together.

When Governor Ye discussed the matter of offering jade with the second room of the Yin family's house, he and Fang Fei went around. Finally, he came to Hexiangwu, nodded appreciatively: "This courtyard is very compatible with you, I guess, you are usually tired outside, you should only feel that returning here is the most comfortable and relaxing time." ”

"How do you know? Cousin Lu, you're amazing! ”

Fang Fei said, and really sat down under the stone bench under the flower stand in front of him, and then leaned down on the stone table, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "But I'm tired to death!" You don't know that when I was in the Jade Race Conference before, my whole body was tense, and I was afraid that someone would accidentally push the jade flying dragon down! And cousin, you must not have noticed that the owner of Linlang Pavilion is the fat man, and the sour smell of his whole body can be concluded at a glance that he must have not washed his hair for at least three days. Tut! It's really powerful, so you can still run out and meet people......"

The green calyx brought freshly brewed hot tea, and the red whisk brought refreshments and fruit preserves, all of which were placed on the stone table. Lu Xiuyun sat down beside her, drinking tea while listening to Fang Fei's straightforward and interesting talk about the previous situation, and suddenly, he stretched out a hand from the horizontal stab, which happened to stay on Fang Fei's right ear.

"Wait a minute, there's a petal falling here."

Lu Xiuyun said, he really took a piece of begonia petal between his fingers, and after signaling to Fang Fei, he flicked it to the ground again.

Fang Fei took a look, and some subtle touches in her heart passed by for a moment. But in his heart, fortunately, his fingertips did not touch his skin.

"This is the weeping begonia, the flowers bloom late this year, if it were the same as before, I am afraid that it would have been gone."

Lu Xiuyun pretended to look up at the flowers, nodded again and again, and said, "Yes!" The flowers and trees in my cousin's yard grow so well, just like the time in front of me, which is refreshing. ”

Fang Fei lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and then said, "Cousin, I will return to the capital in a few days." What about you, when are you ready to go? ”

Lu Xiuyun originally expected that she would not stay in Los Angeles for a long time, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, she was still slightly taken aback at the moment, and couldn't help but smile: "Then I may have to be one step ahead of you, cousin, and I will leave early tomorrow morning - because I am not on business this time, His Royal Highness King Qin has summoned me back to Beijing, and I will return immediately." Otherwise, I should have escorted my cousin back. ”

"I understand, my cousin is on official business, so it is naturally important. Besides, I will be escorted by Brother Song when I go back this time, so my cousin doesn't have to worry. ”

After Fang Fei finished speaking, she handed a piece of goose oil pine nut cake to Lu Xiuyun, because she remembered that he liked to eat this the most in her previous life, and sure enough, the smile on the corner of Lu Xiuyun's mouth became a little thicker.

The two of them ate a little pastry and drank tea for a while, and seeing that Lu Xiuyun was about to get up and say goodbye, Fang Fei said: "Cousin Lu is now on an errand with His Royal Highness King Qin, so he must be very important. Fang Fei, I have something to ask for, I wonder if my cousin is willing to help me? ”

Lu Xiuyun was really surprised when he said this, because he couldn't think of it for a while, what could Fang Fei ask him to do?

But Fang Fei's next words made him look at him a little bit more impressed.

"That's right, my cousin also knows that I am about to return to Beijing. Seriously, after leaving the Song Mansion for ten years, although I was born there and kept the blood of the Song family in my bones, in the past ten years, the closest person to me is the Yin Mansion, not my father and grandmother. In addition, now that the house is headed by the lady, I am not worried that the lady will treat me as a stepdaughter badly. But people always have relatives and are far away, and I heard that Mrs. attaches great importance and closeness to her cousin, even if she is like a mother and son, it is not too much. Therefore, I would like to ask my cousin, can you say a few kind words for me in front of my wife after returning to Beijing? I have no other intentions, but I want my wife to know that I have no prejudices against her, and I hope that I can live in harmony with her in the future, and we will live happily with each other. ”
