Jade carving is the ancestral craft of the Chen family, Chen Xiang has been carved since childhood, the skill is very exquisite, Chen Xiang closed the door for three days, along the texture and shape of the jade, carved it into a piece of jade pendant, only to see this jade pendant red and white, the outer layer of mutton fat white like a piece of ice, and the red red jade in the middle, the shape is quite peculiar, carefully detailed, just like a fire beast, red flame ice essence, lifelike. Chen Xiang followed the shape and named it the Red Flame Ice Essence Pendant, and he held this Red Flame Ice Essence Pendant in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more happy he became. But when I thought that I was about to dedicate it to Zhu Mian, I was very reluctant. After thinking for a long time, Chen Xiang thought of a way to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, Chen Xiang found a piece of Hetian white jade of the same size as this Red Flame Ice Essence, this white jade is dotted with a few spots of autumn pear yellow, it is also a high-grade boutique, if it is changed to usual, Chen Xiang will not give it to others anyway, but now for this Red Flame Ice Essence, he has to endure the pain of cutting love. Chen Xiang put the white jade into a brocade box and sent it to Zhu Mian.

Zhu Mian saw Chen Xiang and greeted him in person, he took the brocade box and took out the jade pendant to take a look, his brows furrowed slightly, but he immediately stretched out, and smiled at Chen Xiang: "The shopkeeper Chen is really trustworthy, this jade is indeed a high-quality product, but I still have to find an expert to take a look." After speaking, the family brought a person, Chen Xiang turned his head to look at the person, and couldn't help but be shocked, the person who came was Chen Qi, the craftsman of the Shen Workshop, this Chen Qi had seen Puyu, he took the jade pendant handed by Zhu Mian, looked at it and said to Zhu Mian: "My lord, this is not the jade carved jade pendant that the villain saw, the middle of the jade is a red ball. And this piece of jade is just a few yellow spots on the surface. After Chen Qi finished speaking, Chen Xiang on the side had already felt a chill down his spine, Zhu Mian looked at Chen Xiang, and said with a cold smile: "Shopkeeper Chen, how did this superb red jade become a few yellow spots after you carved it so much?" Before Chen Xiang could answer, Zhu Mian slapped the table and said angrily: "You'd better hand over the jade pendant quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for treating you for the crime of disrespect and punishing your nine clans!" Chen Xiang knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, he looked up to the sky and sighed, so he had to lead Zhu Mian to get the Red Flame Ice Essence.

Back at the Shen Workshop, Chen Xiang held the jade pendant in his hand and slowly walked towards Zhu Mian. Just as he approached, Chen Xiang suddenly turned around and crashed into the wall of the house, hitting his head and bleeding out, and he died of exhaustion.

This Zhu Mian was so excited that he decided to dedicate it to Huizong to celebrate his birthday. Zhu Mian's entourage ordered his cronies to take the jade pendant by water to borrow the flower stone gang and transport it to Kaifeng, Tokyo. On the way, the ship transporting the Red Flame Ice Essence caught fire for no reason and sank into the Huai River. Later, although Zhu Mian ordered people to work hard to salvage, he was alone and disappeared from the Red Flame Ice Essence. At that time, the people along the river said that when the boat caught fire, they clearly saw a fiery dragon hovering in the fire. Some people say that the ice spirit melted when it met the water, allowing the Red Flame Divine Beast in the jade pendant to break free from the seal.

It's just that since then, no one in the world has ever seen this Red Flame Ice Essence again. ”

"What do you mean, Ye Lao...... Could it be that this piece of mine is the Red Flame Ice Essence that has disappeared for hundreds of years! Hearing this, Yu Fei seemed to realize something in his heart.

Ye Lao smiled and nodded: "Yes, if I guessed correctly, your current piece is likely to be the Red Flame Ice Essence." How is it? You've all listened to the story, and you must have all known the reason for my offer, whether this jade will sell me or not? Of course, this is still just a true or false story. Therefore, the price I can offer you can only be this amount. After speaking, he looked at Yu Fei with expectant eyes. Both the beast and the monkey also turned their heads to look at Yu Fei, waiting for Yu Fei's reply.

Yu Fei quietly looked at the jade pendant in his hand, but the words that his father said when he handed him the jade pendant at the beginning of the year sounded in his ears: "...... Fei'er, you are too old this year, and you are alone outside, neither I nor your mother are at ease, I have a piece of jade, you can take it and wear it. This piece of jade was given by your grandfather when he left, and it can be regarded as a token left by your grandfather. He said that this piece of jade has a soul and can always protect our family. So no matter what, you can't lose it, let alone sell it......"

In Yu Fei's heart, his father may not be a real person, and he often boasts in front of people, so when Yu Fei took this jade pendant, he didn't take his father's words seriously, and felt that his father was just talking. But now after listening to what Ye Lao said, Yu Fei's heart became entangled. Two million is indeed quite tempting for Yu Fei now. But my father's instructions don't seem to be as simple as casual remarks. To sell or not to sell?

Yu Fei was thinking in his heart, when Ye Lao suddenly stood up and shouted at the closed door: "Who! Everyone else followed Ye Lao's shouting. There seemed to be a figure flashing through the crack in the door. Ye Lao rushed to the door with an arrow step, opened the door and looked, but except for a few pedestrians in the distance, there was no suspicious person. And in the surrounding air, there seems to be a faint smell of dry smoke.

The beast smiled: "I didn't expect the old gentleman to be so agile, but you don't have to be too nervous, in broad daylight, even the most daring thief will not break into the door, it should be just a passing pedestrian." ”

Ye Lao frowned, his expression was solemn, as if he was thinking about something. But when he heard the beast say this, his brows immediately relaxed, and he said, "If it's just an unintentional person, it's okay." If you are afraid, you are afraid of those who have a heart. As he spoke, he turned to Yu Fei again: "How is Mr. Yu thinking about it?" ”

Yu Fei seemed to have made a decision, he breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly raised his head, and said firmly: "Thanks to Ye Lao's wrong love, this jade pendant was handed down by my ancestor after all. When my dad handed it to me, he repeatedly told me not to sell it. So, I still don't sell it. Yu Fei's answer stunned Ye Lao, the beast, and the monkey.

Ye Lao thought about it, thinking that Yu Fei was dissatisfied with the price he offered, so he said, "If Mr. Yu wants to sell it for a higher price, you might as well say it directly." But in this place of Guangzhou, I'm afraid no one else will offer this price. After all, there are not many people in this world who know this. ”

"Although I don't know much about Gu Yu. But with the market I know, the price of two million is already very worth selling. After all, the story Ye Lao said doesn't know whether it's true or not, not to mention that even if it's true, I'm afraid few people believe this kind of wild history. The monkey chimed in. Although the beast didn't speak, he kept staring at Yu Fei with an encouraging gaze.

Seeing that everyone had misunderstood, Yu Fei hurriedly explained: "No, no! I definitely didn't want to raise the price, the price that Ye Lao opened was actually quite attractive to me, but it was indeed my old man who had instructions first. So I really can't sell it. ”

Seeing that Yu Fei insisted on not selling jade pendants, Ye Lao was inevitably a little disappointed, but he didn't force it, and said, "Since Mr. Yu has a family order, it is inconvenient for me to force it." This person and jade pay attention to the word fate, it seems that today I have no such fate with this red flame ice essence. It's really in response to the name of my store - Jade has no chance! Hehe. Ye Lao smiled and continued: "However, although this Red Flame Ice Essence Pendant can ward off evil spirits, it may also cause trouble, Mr. Yu should try not to show this jade pendant to others in the future, so as not to encounter any unforeseen things." After speaking, Ye Lao looked at the door a few more times vigilantly, and the door was still calm as usual.

While a few people were talking, it was almost noon, and Ye Lao insisted on inviting the three of them to dinner. Just after listening to the allusion of this Red Flame Ice Essence, Yu Fei and the others were still unsatisfied, and politely excused themselves a few words, and then accepted it. Afterwards, Ye Lao led everyone to a Cantonese tea house next to the store and asked for a small private room.

After taking a seat, Ye Lao called the waiter, and he didn't look at the menu, so he asked for a few dishes, obviously very familiar with this teahouse. The monkey took out the best jade that had just arrived, held it in his hand and played with it with joy. The beast on the side was still puzzled by the price of this jadeite, in his opinion, this piece of jadeite is not much different from the hundreds of thousands of goods in the mall, but the price is so different. The monkey seemed to be in a good mood, patiently explaining to the animal the relationship between the fineness, the variety, and the price of the jadeite.

At this time, Yu Fei was still thinking about the words that Ye Lao had just said. Yu Fei really couldn't figure it out, it was just a piece of jade, even if it was really the Red Flame Ice Essence that Ye Lao said, even if it was an antique, what could it bring? So he raised his head and asked Ye Lao: "I was a little confused when you heard the few words of advice you just said, can you speak more clearly." ”

Ye Lao smiled: "I just said that, I can't talk about advice or not, Mr. Yu doesn't have to take it to heart." After all, no one has really seen this Red Flame Ice Essence, and I'm afraid there are few people in the world who know it. I'm not really sure it's the Red Flame Ice Essence, but I just think so based on some rumors and my intuition. ”

"Not sure? Old man, your shot is two million, if this piece is not the Red Flame Ice Essence, wouldn't it be a big loss? The brute chimed in.

"Hehe, if you really look away, I will admit the loss. But as I said, buying jade is about fate. As for the price of one more and one point less, I don't care. As the saying goes, gold has a price, and jade is priceless, since I have taken a fancy to this piece of jade, I am naturally willing to give up this price. When Ye Lao said this, his eyes glanced at Yu Fei expectantly.

While speaking, the waiter brought the dishes in, and Ye Lao hurriedly beckoned everyone to move the chopsticks......
