Chapter 60 Collateral

Ximen Jinlian was stunned, Lin Xuewen? The name sounds quite elegant, huh? Should it be Mr. Lin's name?

"Girl, let me tell you, don't look at that Lin Xuewen is now the boss of Lin's Jewelry Company, and he is also a figure in the magic capital, I think I lost a lot of debts on the ground in Jieyang back then, and almost made people hack to death, if it weren't for someone waiting for my old man to run errands, he wouldn't have been left by his side. And he followed me, and I naturally taught him some knowledge about gambling stones. Old man Hu said.

Ximen Jinlian smiled, if it was in the past, someone said this to her, she would never believe it, the boss of the dignified Lin Jewelry Company, the representative of the self-made business boss, turned out to be the apprentice of Old Man Hu - no, no, no, from Old Man Hu's disdainful tone, he was not even an apprentice, he was an errand runner next to him.

"What's the matter, you don't believe it?" Old man Hu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Where do I not believe it?" Ximen Jinlian hurriedly said, "Even Jia Lao, the king of gambling stones, is your old apprentice, let alone him?" ”

"Look at you like that. I thought my old man was fooling you! Old man Hu said, while speaking, he picked up a fruit knife from the coffee table, picked the largest durian, and simply cut it down theoretically along the lines, as if cutting tofu, and then, he gently and skillfully untied a piece of durian skin, revealing the milky white meat inside, and beckoned Ximen Jinlian to say, "Come here, this is a good thing!" ”

Ximen Jinlian shook his head, and the old man Hu was not reluctant, as if he walked into his own house, walked into the kitchen, put all the durian meat on a plate, took two spoons, took them out, handed them to Ximen Jinlian and said: "This is the king of fruits, and my old man has carried it all the way over." ”

"You wouldn't have bought it from Malaysia, would you?" Ximen Jinlian asked with a smile, why did he just talk about Lin Xuewen, why did he get durian? If she remembers correctly, the durian originated in Malaysia.

"Not really!" Old man Hu shook his head again and again, "I bought it from a fruit stall - to be honest, it doesn't smell good." ”

Ximen Jinlian couldn't cry or laugh, what kind of joke? This old man himself doesn't like to eat durian, what did he do to buy a bunch of durian and give it to her. And cut one for her?

"But the best thing about this thing is that it can kill that nasty boy!" Old man Hu lowered his voice and smiled, "My old man is very smart, right?" I thought about it for a long time before I came up with such a clever idea. Okay, girl, let's talk seriously, that Lin Xuewen stole a piece of jade from my old man, if you can't touch him in this life, forget it. Anyway, it's just a stone, but since I have touched it, my old man must always ask for it, otherwise, wouldn't it seem that my old man is too easy to bully? ”

Ximen Jinlian suddenly discovered that Old Man Hu used to give her the impression that she was cold, eccentric and didn't like to talk much, and in the popular saying of modern people, it was a little cool! But now she found out that this old man is not familiar with himself, and he still has the common problems of the elderly, and he is very nagging.

And he bought durian for her. Actually just let Zhanbai hide out? The taste of durian is a little weird, but it's not so unbearable?

"I know, I saw Old Man Lin this morning!" Ximen Jinlian said, "He told me about you. ”

"That's it!" Old man Hu said again, "This kid didn't learn well, he stole my old man's jadeite, and he didn't return it, and said that he didn't have jade, and he would die!" What do you think I want his old life for? No, the old boy called me today and told me that he has a grandson, do you want to give it to me? ”

Ximen Jinlian smiled bitterly, Lin Xuewen wouldn't really want Lin Xuanlan to give Old Man Hu, what kind of joke?

"My old man got angry when he heard it, why did he mortgage his grandson to me, why not his granddaughter?" Old man Hu looked angry.

Ximen Jinlian couldn't help laughing anymore when she heard this, this old man - now the more he looks at it, the more obscene he becomes, the weird and obscene old man!

"And you know what that old boy said?" Old man Hu said.

Ximen Jinlian shook her head, Old Man Hu's thinking can no longer be measured by normal people, and that Lin Xuewen is also a quirky old man, she only discovered it today - while asking her to find an opportunity to say favors, she actually came up with such a damaging trick.

"What did you say?" Ximen Jinlian asked along with his words.

"He said-your granddaughter likes my grandson......" Old man Hu spoke like Lin Xuewen.

"You still have a granddaughter?" Ximen Jinlian was a little surprised, when did this old man have a granddaughter? At that time, when he was in Jieyang, didn't the informant Lao Li say that he was just a person? Lonely? Lonely is lonely, but it may not be bitter or clever, this old man's life. It's moisturizing!

Old man Hu smiled strangely: "As soon as my old man hears it, as long as my granddaughter likes it, it will be done, my old man will suffer a loss, and accept this living person to arrive at the goods, but I also want to ask my granddaughter, do you like it or not?" Otherwise, wouldn't my old man suffer a loss? ”

Ximen Jinlian's mouth was a little bitter, and her heart was a little sour, but she still said in her mouth: "This is also true, does your granddaughter like it?" ”

"yes!" Old man Hu asked seriously, "Granddaughter, do you like it?" Tell Grandpa about it as soon as possibleβ€”"

Ximen Jinlian didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and after a long time, this old man was actually entertaining her for fun? Kicking your nose in the face?

"Mr. Hu, I'm not your granddaughter!" Ximen Jinlian couldn't cry or laugh, this old man really couldn't do anything about him.

"It's not too late to admit it now, how about it, think about it - the meeting gift is the handsome boy of the Lin family, if you don't want it, the old man will sell him to Guangdong to make ducks, so as to recover a little cost." Old man Hu said.

In the garden, Zhanbai is sitting on a stone bench. There is a laptop in front of him, and the picture presented in the computer is naturally all kinds of Ximen Jinlian and Old Man Hu in the living room, when he heard this sentence, Zhanbai suddenly wanted to rush in, cut the old man into seventeen or eighteen pieces, and boiled it in the pot without relieving his hatred, what is this?

As soon as he pulled off his headphones, Zhanbai put away his notebook, and rushed into the living room, enduring the pungent smell of durian. Viciously said to Old Man Hu: "Your old man just sells people, don't stuff us if you can't sell them." ”

Old man Hu looked at the notebook in his hand, shook his head and said, "You kid actually eavesdropped on us?" Besides, why is this your place, isn't this my good granddaughter's place? ”

Zhan Bai glared at the old man Hu viciously, and snorted coldly: "Everyone knows that the kid surnamed Lin doesn't have any good intentions and wants to chase our family Jin Lian, you old man is Lin Xuewen's master, why don't you help your own juniors?" ”

"Why is Jin Lian from your family?" Old man Hu deliberately glanced at him in surprise, and said with a smile, "Your cheekiness to enter the house doesn't mean that I, as an elder, will admit you." ”

"I'm a lot older, and I don't know how to be shy, Jin Lian hasn't recognized you as a grandfather, or an elder?" Zhan Bai sneered, it's really his joke, what's going on? How could Lin Xuewen come up with such a damaging move and mortgage his grandson to others?

"Jin Lian, that handsome boy of the Lin family, do you want it?" Old man Hu turned around and asked Ximen Jinlian.

"Mr. Hu-" Ximen Jinlian smiled bitterly, what is the matter? Thinking about the wording, she said, "Mr. Hu, you are not my grandfather, in addition, human trafficking is illegal, and Mr. Lin mortgaged Lin Xuanlan to you as payment, which is completely inconsistent with the law." ”

Mortgage with a living person? It's a shame that Lin Xuewen is also a figure with a face in the magic capital, and he actually came up with such a brainless thing?

"I know!" Old man Hu sighed and said, "But even if I really want the old boy's life now, he won't be able to produce jade, forget it, I'll keep that kid from the Lin family for the time being, when do you want to talk about it, anyway, my old man also lacks someone to do rough work." ”

Saying that, Old Man Hu actually got up and said goodbye.

Ximen Jinlian sent it out. Seeing that Old Man Hu was old and actually drove that windy Humvee, she felt that this old man was not only eccentric, but also a little perverted, indiscriminately recognizing that his granddaughter was not counted, and he also liked to abduct and sell people......

Sending off the old man Hu, Ximen Jinlian turned around and came in, looking at the durian all over the ground with a headache, it was obvious that Zhanbai hated the taste of durian very much, and if she lost the durian, she was a little reluctant - after all, she liked to eat durian. One of the more important reasons is that waste is very shameful.

"Jin Lian, what should I do with these durians?" Zhan Bai asked.

"Keep two for yourself to eat, and you can do the rest!" Ximen Jinlian said, anyway, she will never be able to eat so much, although this thing is delicious, but if she eats too much, she will get angry.

"Can you eat this thing?" Zhan Bai shook his head, okay, although he hates the smell of durian, but, since she likes it, let her do it, it's just the rest, what can I do? It was still packed in a sack, thrown in the trunk of the car, and Zhanbai drove out, feeling like a corpse had been destroyed......

Ximen Jinlian watched Zhanbai carry the durian out, leaning on the sofa in a daze, Nuwa mending the heavenly relics? So what kind of jadeite is it?

Multicolored? Or colorful? Or even colorful?

Well, even if there is multi-colored jadeite, it is still jadeite, at most the value is different, what's the big deal? Turning to look at the snake king stone placed on the square bench, Ximen Jinlian was stunned - but he was puzzled in his heart, why the snake?

Even if she found dinosaur fossils in the jade, she wouldn't feel anything remarkable, after all, there were already many dinosaur fossils in the world.

But in a piece of jade, there is a snake that looks like a living thing, she can't understand it, what else does the old man say about it, Nuwa is a human-faced snake......

Damn the human face snake body! Ximen Jinlian cursed secretly in her heart, this is the first time that she has ruthlessly despised the brain-dead of the creators of ancient myths, and wrote the ancestor as a human-faced snake?

Zhanbai's action was very good, and he hurried back after solving the durian, and when he saw Ximen Jinlian, he hurriedly said: "Jinlian, if it's still early today, let's hurry up." ”

"What are you going to do?" Ximen Jinlian was stunned.

"Going to the flower and bird market?" Zhan Bai hurriedly said, "You won't forget, right?" ”

Ximen Jinlian then remembered, the two discussed for a long time in the morning, wanting to test whether the snake was a living creature or a jade, for fear of the electric shock voltage being too high, the snake in the jade was electrocuted at once, so I was going to buy a pet snake to test it first.

"Alright! Check it out! Ximen Jinlian said, it is okay to study whether the snake in the jade is a living thing, but she owes the little boy next door a pet snake, although people say not to pay for it, but Ximen Jinlian thought, it is better to buy one for others.

People have raised snakes for two years, and they let her slaughter them with such a knife, which is always a little unreasonable.

"Let's go!" Zhan Bai beckoned Ximen Jinlian to go out.

"What did you do with those durians?" Ximen Jinlian sat in the car, and she still smelled a faint smell of durian in her nose.

"I gave it to the community security guards, and they were so happy that they didn't throw it away, lest you say that I was wasting again." Zhan Bai smiled, "I'm very good at doing things, right?" ”

"Yes......" Ximen Jinlian laughed, and actually showed her credit? Xiaobai, what are you doing with a bunch of bugging devices in my house? She finally asked the doubts in her heart.

"I didn't!" Zhan Bai was busy denying it.

"Then how did you eavesdrop on me talking to Old Man Hu?" Ximen Jinlian asked curiously, she didn't care, anyway, Zhanbai had this special hobby, and she was used to it.

"I just installed the monitoring equipment, which is used to prevent theft, today I just use the computer to connect the monitoring equipment to see what the old man Hu is going to do, this person is too weird, I can't help but guard against it, and I'm not stupid, he made a bunch of durians, just didn't want me to eavesdrop - however, this old man is very unfamiliar with high-tech. Not to mention kicking me out of the door, even if it was miles away, I knew that it wouldn't be able to hide it from me. Zhan Bai said with a smile.

"Hehe......" Ximen Jinlian chuckled, "He has always been superstitious that the jade is caused by Nuwa's refining of stones to make up for the sky." ”

Zhan Bai was silent when he heard this, and said after a long time: "Jin Lian, do you believe it?" ”

"What should I say about this?" Ximen Jinlian shook his head and said, "I would rather believe that jadeite is formed in the change of eggshells, and it doesn't have to be related to mythology, but what the old man said has a head and a face, I believe it a little, the problem is, jadeite has been passed down for a long time, although it is not as good as warm jade to infiltrate into Chinese history, but it has also been for many years, why have I never seen any books written about these legends?" ”

"Because of this, I believe in Old Man Hu's words a little!" Zhan Bai Dao.

Simon Jinlian smiled, what about the letter? Even if the jade is really a relic left by Nuwa's refining stone to mend the sky, so what? Find that Heavenly Relic Stone, that's all it takes? It's nothing more than a question of the value of jadeite.

Jewelry is often associated with legends, but in a legend, it is a little too absurd.

"Jin Lian, I have already thought of a good way to promote jadeite into the international market in the future." Zhan Bai suddenly chuckled.

"The Heavenly Relic Stone?" Ximen Jinlian chuckled and asked in a low voice.

"Not bad!" Zhan Bai said, "People don't care about the authenticity of the legend, as long as the story is touching, and the story of Nuwa making people from the soil and refining stones to make up the sky has long been deeply rooted in the people, and there are even many different versions abroad, and it is much easier to publicize it." ”

"That's a good idea!" Ximen Jinlian was silent, considering the feasibility of this method.

"When the time comes, you will exhibit your Snake King Stone again - it's hard not to make a splash!" Zhan Bai said with a smile.

"Snake King Stone?" Ximen Jinlian pondered for a moment before saying, "For now, don't show it well, that thing is too evil and too weird, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble." By the way, are you ready for tonight's auction? ”

"There's nothing wrong with the auction!" Zhan Bai said, "It's nothing more than a high or low price." He knew Ximen Jinlian's scruples, that piece of snake king stone was really eye-catching, and in a piece of jade, there were ancient creatures, a snake with human skin......

If this spreads, it will definitely be a big problem.

Therefore, if there is no absolute momentum, he will not easily publicize it, and even he is curious, whether the snake in the jade is a living thing, or has it been jaded, let alone others?

"It's fine!" Ximen Jinlian smiled and didn't ask any more.

But Zhan Bai said in a low voice: "Jin Lian, have you ever seen something that has been jadeized by a living creature?" ”

"Nope!" Ximen Jinlian shook her head, she always felt that the jade of living creatures was very weird, she had visited dinosaur fossils, and living creatures became fossils, she could accept it, but jade, she felt a little unbelievable.

"I had the pleasure of visiting once." Zhan Bai said in a low voice, "However, it's really not good-looking!" ”

"What living things have you ever seen?" Ximen Jinlian asked curiously, "Yuhua should be beautiful?" ”

"It's a human ......," Zhan Bai shook his head and said, "I've seen other people's private collections abroad, very scary things." Definitely not as beautiful and lifelike as that snake......"
