Julu Roll Chapter 22 Token of Love
"Boss, you're so interesting! My family is in Khotan, and I have been dealing with jade since I was a child. Boss, who did you come in from, return it quickly, you will be killed!"
"Hekong" is a name that Shi Xin made up on the spot, and of course there is no such place.
"Hekong?" Seeing that Shi Xin swore by him, the boss's confidence was a little shaken, and he was afraid that Shi Xin would lie to him, so he looked at him suspiciously and asked.
"Since Khotan is a place where beautiful jade is produced, and Hekong is a place where jade is imitated, don't you know this?" Shi Xin's gaze became disdainful.
The boss coughed, his chest held high, "Of course I know Hekong, my jade is from Khotan, not Hekong." ”
"Then you say, you and ...... How much does Khotanese jade sell for?"
"Original price three...... Hey, okay. The original price is one hundred taels, and when I see that you know the goods, I will give you ninety-five taels. "The boss usually offers two hundred taels, but seeing that Shi Xin seems to be a knowledgeable person, he doesn't dare to make a bid.
"Bold!" Shi Xin suddenly roared angrily, slapped the stall board, and made a loud "bang" sound, "You use Hekong fake jade, pretending to be Khotanese jade, and dare to sell it for a hundred taels?
Shi Xin was startled, like a nervous disorder, and the fat on the boss's face trembled, "I'm a first-class Khotanese Meiyu, you, you slander me casually, and you're not afraid of reporting to the official?"
Shi Xin ignored him, snatched the hosta, and put it in the palm of his hand.
"Hey, hey, be careful. The boss hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, for fear that Shi Xin would fall.
In fact, this hosta was a relative of the boss, the relative was originally an old man, owed the boss ten taels of silver, was called on the boss several times, and took the trouble to use the hosta to pay off the debt. Before the mortgage, he naturally bragged about the hosta. As for the origin of this hosta, it was actually accidentally dropped by a giant who resold jade, and was picked up by this relative.
The boss doesn't understand jade either, so instead of waiting for the distant repayment of the money, it is better to take some physical goods to the stall to sell.
"Okay, I'll prove it to you!" Shi Xin stretched out his other hand and touched the hosta, and asked the boss, "Boss, have you ever seen a jade that will fade?"
The boss snorted, his eyes did not leave the jade, "Is the faded jade still jade?" You still say that you have been with jade since you were a child...... Huh, what!" The boss's voice suddenly rose a few tones, and he let out a high-pitched cry, as if he had been stepped on by the tail.
Under Shi Xin's caressing, the soil and dirt fell off, and after that, the green jade was slowly fading, and after a few more rubbings, Shi Xin's entire palm was stained with green.
"Wang Sangou, you dog! Mother raised, you really use Hekong jade to deceive Lao Tzu, you can't die well!" Ten taels of silver, for ordinary people is not a small amount, the boss opened his voice and scolded, as for whether "Wang Sangou" is a "dog!" This kind of logical relationship, he has no time to care.
"Ahem!" Shi Xin wiped his palm with a handkerchief, "The boss has put his thunder fury to rest, and the most important thing now is to deal with this piece of Hekong jade." If you leave it to me, I'll help you figure it out. ”
When the boss heard that things were still turning around, his screaming stopped abruptly, and he explained the truth to Shi Xin with gratitude: "The dog thief used this fake jade to pay me ten taels of silver, and blamed me for believing him in a hot head." If my little brother is willing to help me take over, my whole family will be grateful. ”
The boss's initial impatience vanished without a trace, and he looked at Shi Xin with begging eyes. Shi Xin frowned, took out three taels of silver in his arms and put them on the palm of his hand, rubbing them back and forth. After a while, he sighed, took back a tael of silver with his left hand and put it in his arms, and began to rub the remaining two taels of silver.
Looking at the blurred and heavily stained hosta, the boss wanted to cry without tears, so he had to look at the last two pieces of silver left in Shi Xin's hand.
Shi Xin still stuffed the last tael of silver back into his arms, turned around and left. The boss grabbed him, almost knelt down, and said with a crying voice: "Little brother, please, even one or two can be." "Say nothing and let Shi Xin go.
Shi Xin saw that Chen Bing's eyes were becoming more and more severe, so he had to pretend that he was entangled and had no choice, helped the boss up, took out three taels of silver from his arms, and said with pity: "Forget it, help people to the end, I will accept it for three taels of silver, and it can be regarded as a good thing for me and Khotan." Remember in the future, it's not your own cheapness, don't be greedy. ”
Shi Xin stuffed the hosta into his arms, and his heart blossomed. The boss kept waving in the distance and saying goodbye to him.
"You ran out of three taels of silver, how can you go to meet Shopkeeper Li?" and ......" Chen Bing was annoyed in his heart, and he didn't call him senior brother anymore, and directly addressed him as "you", "Do you think it's fun to lie to that boss like this?"
"Hehe, I saw that this hosta was so beautiful that I forgot about Shopkeeper Li for a while. But to be honest, three taels of silver really doesn't mean much to Shopkeeper Li, even if it is three hundred taels, his eyelids may not jump. As for the boss...... "Shi Xin said nonchalantly, "I'll just pay him the difference." The boss dared to offer three hundred taels of jade for ten taels of silver, and he was not expected to be an honest businessman, so he should regard it as a lesson from God. ”
Chen Bing thought about it, combined with the boss's attitude at the beginning, he felt that Shi Xin's words were not unreasonable, and his face turned a little pale, "But you shouldn't use the medicinal powder that Master gave us to deceive people, in case the boss goes to find that 'Wang Sangou', won't he be ......a gang?
Chen Bing was obsessed with Shi Xin's deception, and taught him a lesson along the way. Shi Xin ignored it completely, carefully wiped the hosta, and finally wrapped it in a cloth and wiped it gently.
"Senior sister, look at ......" Shi Xin lifted the rag and took out the hosta.
"Wow! it's so beautiful!" Chen Bing suddenly stopped teaching Shi Xin, staring at the hosta in front of him with a pair of glowing eyes, and didn't want to move away for a moment.
The hosta has a gradient color. The hairpin head is emerald green, slowly fades, and becomes pure white and snow-white after the hairpin tail. The whole hosta is transparent and bright, without any impurities. The workmanship is excellent, and it is not inferior to the handicrafts carved by machines in later generations. At the hairpin head hung two small jade beads with many facets, shining in the sun.
Delicate jewelry has a natural attraction for girls, and even Chen Bing, who is used to being simple and simple, is no exception.
Shi Xin smiled slightly, and gently inserted the hosta into Chen Bing's hair.
Chen Bing meekly lowered his head and let Shi Xin put the hosta on. She adhered to Confucian dogmas all her life, and this was the first time she had been so close to a man. His breath, his breath, his body temperature, was slowly approaching her, and it made her start to get a little flustered, and her heart was like a deer.
The big hot hand gently pressed on her hair, the hairpin and the hair rubbed gently, these delicate movements were infinitely magnified in Chen Bing's heart, forever engraved in the depths of her heart.
Wearing a hairpin requires the action of wrapping both hands, and from a distance, Chen Bing's petite body fell into Shi Xin's arms. Shi Xin kept telling himself that the girl in front of him, who blushed and exuded the unique body fragrance of a girl, was only ten years old, so don't be impulsive.
"Damn, how do you wear this hairpin! Ten years old, ten years old, young girl, young girl!" Shi Xin tried hard, and his head was sweating, but he still couldn't wear the hairpin.
"Let me do it. Chen Bing's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and he reached out to take the hairpin. When Chen Bing's slippery little hand rubbed against Shi Xin, his heart fluttered, and he hurriedly looked into the distance, not daring to look at Chen Bing again.
"Let's go!" Chen Bing, who was wearing a hairpin, greeted, and finally regained his former look, but the blush on his face was still difficult to retreat for a while.
"This is a token of love!" Shi Xin thought to himself.
The two walked side by side, neither of them embarrassed to speak first. In a few moments, the destination was in sight. The four lacquered gold characters of "Precious Pharmacy" are inlaid in a luxurious plaque, shining in the sun.
The swaggering waiter stood in front of the door, his head raised to watch the flow of people in front of him, the corners of his mouth raised, as if he had opened the expensive drugstore.
"It's here. Shi Xin raised his hand and made a helpless expression, "That waiter recognizes me, but I'm afraid that he will drive me away before he can speak." ”
"You wait for me, ...... soon" Chen Bing walked away without saying anything, and disappeared in a flash.
"Senior sister, where are you going?" Shi Xin, who was caught off guard, took two steps, and where else could he find Chen Bing.
After a while, when Shi Xin was bored, Chen Bing walked back, "I'm sorry, I saw an acquaintance just now and chatted a few more words." ”
"Who?"
"You don't know, a girl from the outer gate once fell and injured her leg, and Master asked me to heal. I got in touch later. ”
"Oh!" Shi Xin replied noncommittally, but he didn't believe it.
At this moment, a young man came out of the expensive drugstore, with his left sleeve in his belt, and it turned out to be a broken arm.
Chen Bing patted Shi Xin, "Let's go!" and walked out first.
Shi Xin was afraid that the people in the expensive pharmacy would speak ill of Chen Bing, so he quickly rushed ahead of her and said with a smile: "You can follow me." ”
Seeing that Shi Xin was so responsible, Chen Bing smiled in the newspaper, and did not refuse, his heart was warm.
"Lingbao faction, Shi Xin and Chen Bing, worship the shopkeeper Li, and hope that the old brother will pass it on his behalf. Shi Xin arched his hand inside, and said loudly.
"Oh, you liar again. When the waiter saw Shi Xin, Wumingye rose in flames, "I was deceived by you last time, and I was severely criticized by the master, and I dare to come this time? Lingbao Sect? I haven't heard of it, what about that Luoyang Chen Wanjin? Why did you follow a little girl with a sign?"
"Last time, it was the younger brother who was wrong, and he had already asked for the forgiveness of the shopkeeper Li, but this time it was different, and I had to bother the elder brother to pass it on his behalf. ”
", don't me off. I'll say it again, get out of ......" and the word "roll" was pulled by him and attracted the attention of many people around.
Shi Xin pursed his lips and spread his hands, "Look, if you say no, it won't work, let's go home." After speaking, he wanted to pull Chen Bing away.
