It's night.

Xu Boqing revisited the scene of the bath with Liu Guifei in Yongning Palace, although the dog emperor was not on the side, it was a little less interesting, but borrowing Jingsi people, it also had a different taste.

The next day, I said hello to the Queen Mother, and I went out of the imperial city again in my spare time.

However, this time he did not wear the conspicuous flying fish suit, nor did he go to the prison, but changed into an ordinary dress and went to the famous Yuqing Street in the capital.

There are many shops on both sides of this street, ranging from rouge gouache to gold, silver and jade, because of the proximity to the imperial city, and some of the fine workmanship is of good quality, sometimes the things needed in the palace will be customized here.

This street also became famous, and it was originally wanted to be named 'Yuqing Street', but the word 'Yu' could not be used indiscriminately, so it was changed to the homonymous 'Yuqing Street'.

As for the purpose of getting here...

Naturally, it is to choose a congratulatory gift.

Nowadays, there is a custom of getting married, but if the family is more solid, it is the Ming media who is marrying, and the wedding banquet will basically be divided into two or three days.

The day before the big day is called 'urging dressing', and the man will send some pork, rice noodles, dressing boxes, clothes and other materials tied with red cloth to the woman, which is a metaphor for urging the bride's family to prepare for marriage.

The next day, the groom takes the bride home to get married, feasts relatives and friends, and the neighborhood is a big day.

Some people with many relatives and friends, or who have a good face, will continue to hold a banquet to entertain guests the day after the big day.

Although tomorrow is the big day for his cousin Xu Da, today is already a 'urging to install'.

As the bridegroom's cousin, he naturally could not go empty-handed, and had to buy some gold, silver and jade jewellery as a congratulatory gift......

Xu is just after the New Year, there are many people visiting relatives and friends, and Yuqing Street is very lively in the afternoon.

Xu Boqing found a time-honored shop specializing in buying and selling jade utensils in the middle of the street, went in to choose it, and took a fancy to a pair of dragon and phoenix and Ming jade pendants that were extremely exquisite in both jade quality and carving.

Let the shopkeeper take out the jade pendant, take it in his hand and play with it, the touch is warm and cool, and after confirming that it is a genuine product of good quality, he asked: "Shopkeeper, how much is the price of this jade pendant?" ”

"Master, you really have a good eye."

The shopkeeper is old and refined, seeing that although he is young and dressed plainly, he has a remarkable bearing, so he does not have a contempt, and after complimenting him, he said: "The pair of dragons and phoenixes and Ming jade pendants in your hands are not only of excellent material, but also from the hands of famous teachers." ”

He paused for a moment, then stretched out his five fingers and said: "It can be seen that you are also an expert, let's not say much, if you really want it, you can take it." ”

Xu Boqing asked with a smile: "Five taels?" ”

"Hahaha, you're really joking."

The shopkeeper also knew that he was joking, so he just shook his head and laughed twice, but he was not angry, and said: "Master, it's five hundred taels, this store has been operating here for a hundred years, and Tong Su has always been undeceived." ”

"Tsk, it's not cheap..."

Xu Boqing sighed.

Five hundred taels is enough to buy a mansion in the capital, but you can only buy a pair of jade pendants here.

But thinking that he was not short of money now, and this jade pendant was a congratulatory gift, he didn't bother with anything, and said: "Help me pack it and use it as a wedding gift." ”

"Gotta ~ Master, wait a minute."

Seeing the shopkeeper smiling and packaging the dragon and phoenix and Ming jade pendant, Xu Boqing was also idle, so he paid attention to the other jade objects in the store.

As if he had thought of something, his gaze froze slightly, and the scene in his sight lost its color like a faded painting.

Looking around the store, when he was about to close the state of 'Tianmu Law Eye', his eyes paused slightly, and he found a hairpin with a dark green body in the corner of the container...

The dark green hairpin is made of jade, and there is no tidbits on it, the appearance is simple, simple, and it looks like a piece of jade scraps polished out, without any characteristics.

But in his eyes, there was a clear aura on the dark green hairpin, but there was no such vision on the exquisite and luxurious hairpins around him.

He didn't know what that pure spirit qi represented, but the appearance of the hairpin was not obvious, but through the 'Heavenly Eye', he could see that there was a vision, and it was obviously not a mortal thing!!

That's when ...

The shopkeeper put the dragon and phoenix and Ming jade pendant that had been packaged in front of the stage, and said with a smile: "Master, I have already packed the jade pendant you wanted, are you still satisfied?" ”

Xu Boqing took a look and found that the pair of jade pendants had been packed into a purse-sized mahogany box, with the word 'Xi' pasted on it, and a line of small words 'Yuqing Street' in the corner.

The gold, silver and jade on Yuqing Street are already signboards, and the packaging box is printed with a brand effect similar to that of the previous life.

There is a face...

Seeing the shopkeeper's eyes waiting for him to pay, Xu Boqing casually pointed to the corner of the shelf and said: "I was in a hurry to go out, and I forgot to wear a hairpin, can the shopkeeper take the dark green hairpin with me?" ”

The shopkeeper was a little distracted when he took the hairpin, because the hairpin just looked like jade, but it was not actually jade, nor was it from a famous hand, but an old farmer took it to pawn many years ago.

Because of the special texture, the old farmer was also pitiful, so he bought it with some change and put it on the shelf, completely wanting to use it to set off other exquisite hairpins.

The container was a little uncertain and asked, "But this one?" ”

"Exactly."

After Xu Boqing took it, he found that the dark green hairpin was very light, and the touch was not jade, but similar to a special kind of wood. ”

"Ah, this ......"

The shopkeeper was shocked and said: "Master, I can't pit you, this thing is simple to make, and it is not jade, I put it on the shelf purely as a foil, and I don't plan to sell it." ”

"It's okay, I just like the simpler ones."

Xu Boqing pinned the hairpin in his hand into the hair bundle with the bronze mirror in the store, and after finding that there was no sense of disobedience, he smiled casually: "Since the shopkeeper doesn't plan to sell it, then be a head?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket with a denomination of five hundred taels from his bosom and pushed it from the table to the front of the shopkeeper.

"Success, success!!"

The shopkeeper took the silver ticket in his hand and rubbed it with an immovable expression, and only after checking the authenticity did he smile: "As long as you don't dislike it, it's done." ”

"That's a big deal."

After Xu Boqing put the packaged congratulatory gift into his pocket, he arched his hand and walked out of the store.

He strolled through the streets, carefully rubbed the hairpin in his hand, and secretly tested it with internal force, but found that the internal strength was transparent, and nothing special was detected.

The magic eye can clearly see the pure spiritual qi exuded from the hairpin, but the internal force cannot detect the special, which can only indicate that his 'cultivation' is not enough.

At the same time, it also shows that this hairpin is not a worldly mortal!

Since I have picked up a leak, are there any other leaks that can be checked in the many jade shops on both sides of this Yuqing Street?

Xu Boqing glanced at the many jade jewelry shops on both sides of Yuqing Street, casually inserted the hairpin in his hand into the bundle of hair, and began to shop the street shops with great anticipation.

When I entered the store, I scanned it with the 'Heavenly Eye', and I knew at a glance whether there was anything abnormal, but as a result, I walked from the street to the end of the street, and I didn't find a good thing that showed a vision...

Just as he shook his head and was about to leave, he happened to see a young man in a main rouge gouache shop on the side of the street.

At this age, the man is prodigal, his eyes are full of lust, and he is holding a woman with a delicate face and a face full of fear in his arms...

And beside him, there were several guards and fox friends who were dressed in noble clothes, and a middle-aged woman who looked like a shopkeeper.

You don't have to think about it to see that a few dignitaries and dignitaries are molesting people's daughters, which is not uncommon in the capital...

The reason why he took a second look was that the young man was very familiar, it was the second son of Zhang Xiang who had a relationship with him in the prison before, and the one who had an axe and showed off the little earthworm at that time...
