Chapter 064: People are precious to pearls
Everyone looked up and saw Jiao Eryu holding a pearl as big as a fingernail in her hand, which was folded and glowing under the lamp, dazzling and abnormally beautiful!
Although this pearl is valuable, it is not rare, but it is not very large in size.
The shopkeeper and Xiao Er were both greedy, and nodded again and again and said, "It's worth it! Of course it's worth it! A few more rooms can be opened!"
Jiao'er smiled slightly, pointed to Xiaobao and said: "Open the largest room for him, and then ask for three rooms next door, this bead will be topped, and the troublesome shopkeeper will send you some dinner, and send it to the big room, okay?"
The shopkeeper snatched the pearls on the table, for fear that Jiao'er would regret it again, and turned his head to scold Xiao Er: "What are you doing stupidly! Didn't you listen to the son's orders! Hurry up and take a few sons to the upper room, let the kitchen cook a few good dishes, and send them to the son's room!"
Xiao Er bowed his waist and nodded repeatedly, and said to Jiao'er and everyone with a flattering face: "Guest officer, please come with me, the corridor is steep, be careful, don't flash the bodies of a few sons..."
Bird Dance seemed to feel that something was wrong, and just wanted to speak, but Jiao'er grabbed her little hand and walked all the way upstairs.
Xiaobao and Ya'er have one, Que Wu and Jiao'er have one, Diexuan and Wei'er have one, and the three disabled brothers have one.
The ice leopard and the snow wolf had already run out to find food by themselves, and after staying with everyone for a long time, the four beasts were extremely human, knowing that they looked weird and easily frightened others, so they disappeared without Xiaobao's instructions when they arrived in a crowded place.
Everyone returned to Xiaobao's room, the food had been served, and everyone chatted while eating.
Que Wu said apologetically to Jiao'er: "I wanted to take care of my sister, but I didn't expect everyone to get my sister's light." ”
Jiao'er smiled slightly: "Since they are sisters, why should they be so polite!"
The little bean sprouts said innocently: "Sister's beads are so beautiful!"
During the day, it was Ya'er who rode the wind owl, fought and entangled with the Zhenjiang prince's gang, and rescued Teng Jiao'er, Jiao'er was also very fond of this child, and touched the head of the little bean sprout and said, "Then my sister gave you a more beautiful one, okay?"
As he spoke, he took out a bead the size of a thumb from his sleeve and handed it to the little bean sprout.
As soon as this bead appeared, the lights in the room seemed to be dimmed, and everyone saw that its shape was round, and the whole body was black and shiny, but the light emitted was full of colors, which was really exquisite and extraordinary!
Long Jiao exclaimed: "Black Pearl! Long has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and it is the first time he has encountered such a beautiful black pearl!"
You must know that pearls of this size are extremely rare, and black pearls are even more difficult to find, such a large black pearl is worth a fortune!
Jiao'er raised a finger on his lips at everyone: "Shhh, don't let outsiders listen to it and cause unnecessary trouble!"
Xiaobao asked her, "Jiao'er, how can you have so many pearls?"
Jiao'er glanced at Xiaobao, her pretty face was slightly red, and she whispered: "I have been in the wind and rain on the river all the year round, and I like to go to the river to dig out some river mussel buds and the like to play when I have nothing to do, and that's how the beads come." I still have a lot of them, so you don't have to worry about not being entangled in the future. ”
Everyone sighed, it's no wonder that with Jiao'er's water nature, it is not difficult to fish for some of this kind of treasure.
Chai Yu said: "The second aunt and grandmother are so rich, why are they still ferrying boats on the river?"
During the day, everyone has already worshiped the sisters, the bird dance is the largest, Jiao'er is the second, Diexuan is the third, and Wei'er is the youngest, so now Chai Yu calls her the second aunt and grandmother.
Jiao'er was not used to this kind of name, and frowned with tears and laughter, but did not object, and said leisurely: "Daddy said, we people on the river eat river rice, self-reliance, and hard work is the happiest day." Even if you make a fortune by relying on pearls, you are also jealous, and it is inevitable that there are no bad people who want to see money, and life has become a worrying life, so why bother!"
Everyone nodded one after another, thinking that although Teng Laohan was a boatman, he had this perception of life, and it was not easy to be content with the status quo. It's a pity that he was suddenly tested and gave his life in vain, which is really unfair.
Jiao'er also remembered her father, her tone was low again, and her face became a little sad.
Xiaobao hurriedly said: "Jiao'er, when you go out, your wealth is not exposed, you should keep it properly, and you must not take it out at will." ”
Jiao'er nodded and said, "I have handed it over to Sister Que Wu for safekeeping, we are a family, and I am very relieved to put it in my sister's place." ”
Que Wu smiled: "Find a pawnshop tomorrow, and exchange some silver tickets and so on." It is also tiring to put it on your body every day. ”
Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, and went back to their rooms. Wei'er looked at the little bean sprouts, opened her mouth, and said half-loudly: "Sprouts, sleep with your sister at night." ”
Xiao Dou Sprout's head shook like a rattle, hugged Xiao Bao's neck and said, "No, I want to sleep with my brother!"
Die Xuan said fiercely: "Then you can sleep with him, save me in the middle of the night!" turned his head to Xiaobao and said, "You'd better sleep honestly!" After speaking, he walked out.
Wei'er also glanced at Xiaobao: "Don't bully Xiaodou sprouts!" and followed Diexuan out of the door.
Que Wu smiled, stretched out his hand on the tip of Xiaobao's nose, and said angrily: "You, you have been trapped in the peach blossom miasma all your life!" pulled Jiao'er out of the room with an inexplicable face.
The rest was even more confused, crying and laughing Xiaobao, holding the little bean sprouts hanging on him, walked to the bed, slapped his little buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "The little guy doesn't go to sleep with his sisters, but he comes to pester me!"
Little Bean Sprouts lay on the bed and giggled, took Xiaobao's hand and said, "I want to sleep with my brother, I want my brother to tell me a story!"
Xiaobao went to blow out the light, walked to the side of the bed and lay down in his clothes, Xiao Bean Sprouts had already snuggled over, put his arms around his neck and said, "Brother, tell Ya'er about your childhood, can you?"
Xiaobao patted him on the back, sighed and said, "Brother forgot." I remember my master said that I once had a head injury, and I forgot everything about the water purification lotus before, and I also wanted to know where I was from, who my father and mother were, and what had happened before, but I just couldn't remember it, and I had a headache when I thought about it!"
Little Bean Sprouts stroked Xiaobao's face and said, "Brother is so pitiful." By the way, my brother can go to the Yuanbao Divine Doctor, isn't he very powerful? Let him show his brother, maybe he can make his brother remember the past. ”
Xiaobao's heart moved, secretly thinking that this might be really possible, but after thinking about it, he said with a wry smile: "I'm not sick, but injured." ”
Ya'er smiled and pinched Xiaobao's face: "Stupid brother, which doctor can't heal injuries?"
Xiaobao smiled, this is also true, nodded and said to Xiaodou Sprouts: "When we come back from Yuezhou City, let's go to the divine doctor to see if he can make my brother recover his memory." ”
The two were talking, and before they knew it, it was already late at night. The little bean sprouts yawned a few times, and her voice became lower and lower, and finally she fell asleep.
Xiaobao was also a little sleepy, tightened the thin blanket on Ya'er's body, and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, it was dawn.
After everyone had breakfast, Wei'er took out the post that her father handed over to her when she was leaving, and said to Xiaobao, "Brother, let's go and visit Uncle Zhou today, right?"
Diexuan said on the side: "Just go with the two of you, my sister and I will accompany Jiao'er sister to the market to play, and it's the most annoying to socialize!"
Bird Dance nodded and said, "The three disabled brothers should also come with us, there are some things that you still need to help." ”
Long Jiao wiped his hands and said, "Okay, the three of us will follow the eldest aunt and grandmother, you can just give orders." ”
Little Bean Sprouts anxiously shouted at the table: "What about me, what about me? Who am I going with?"
Jiao'er smiled and said, "Who do you want to go with?"
Xiao Dou Sprout tilted his head and looked at Xiao Bao, his little face turned red, and he quickly turned his head and whispered to Bird Dance, "I'm with Sister Wu..."
Diexuan, Que Wu, and Jiao'er looked at each other and smiled, and they all shook their heads at the little guy.
Taicang Rice Shop is the largest rice shop in Lanyue City, so it is easy to find.
Xiaobao and Wei'er inquired a little, and then they came to the door of the rice shop.
I handed over the post to the steward, and after a while, I was led to the backyard, and as soon as I stepped on the dripping eaves, one of them shouted in the room: "But my virtuous niece is here?"
Wei'er pulled Xiaobao and followed a doorman into the living room, and smiled at a chubby middle-aged man standing in the hall and said, "Hello Uncle Zhou!"
The three of them sat down, Xiaobao looked at the middle-aged man, and saw that he was in his forties, his forehead was bald, but his face was full of red light, although he was fat, he was also tall, and he was not clumsy at all.
Before he said it, he laughed first, and even his eyes were squeezed into a slit by the flesh on his face, but from time to time a fine light appeared, so that people could see that he still had eyes, but they were just hidden.
Zhou Shanren looked at Wei'er and said: "When I was in Caixia Mountain, you were still a child who could just speak, I didn't expect that more than ten years have passed, and you have become such a slim and elegant girl, but there is a marriage engagement?"
Wei'er blushed, lowered her head and said, "Uncle Zhou said it's funny, Wei'er is still young!"
Only then did Zhou Shanren notice the young man next to him and asked her, "Who is this?"
Wei'er took Xiaobao's hand and said, "His name is Xiaobao, is... It's my brother..."Before he finished speaking, his pretty face was already red.
Zhou Shanren looked at the movements of the two, nodded meaningfully, and looked at Xiaobao with his eyes, as if he wanted to penetrate his clothes and see him in his heart.
Xiao Bao sat calmly, looking at Zhou Shanren squarely, with a faint smile on his face, and did not speak.
Zhou Shanren saw that this young man was as stable as a mountain, difficult to guess, and he was not secretly surprised.
It is not easy to see countless people by yourself, but there has never been a young man who can completely fail to see his heart, unfathomable, but his age is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and there is no insolence that leaks from internal forces, it is not easy.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a person outside the door shouting: "Dad, the prince taught you to go over, I think you should hurry up and deal with it!"
With the voice, a young man walked into the living room, saw Xiaobao and Wei'er, paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "I said that we will meet again." ”
Zhou Shanren stood up with a frown, snorted, and said to the young man, "You come to talk to the two guests, I'll come when I go!"
Xiaobao looked at the young man and said, "I didn't expect you to be the young boss of Taicang Rice Shop!"
The young man smiled slightly, sat down on the chair next to him, and said to Xiaobao: "Little brother is coming to Lanyue City at this time, you can stay for a few more days, let me take you around the city, and do your best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”
Xiaobao arched his hand and said, "Brother Lao bothered. I still have important things to do, and after visiting Uncle Zhou, I will leave. When we meet again in the future, we will definitely live up to my brother's hospitality!"
