Chapter 736 The Meaning of Diamonds 2
Even people like Xue Ruyue, who don't know how to polish, can see that this thing is a first-class product. Not to mention Liu Yue, who is proficient in the way of polishing on the side.
This diamond is crystal clear, and when exposed to the sun, it shimmers brilliantly, and is so gorgeous that people dare not look at it directly. The defective product that Tao Peng lifted, compared with the one in front of him, is the firefly and the bright moon, a world of difference.
Tao Pengju's face turned pale, his understanding of this diamond was indeed limited, except for the name, he didn't know anything else. Now that Bi Yuntao said this, he had nothing to say, so he had to grit his teeth and say: "Lord Huang, I can't hide it, this diamond was obtained from them when I caught a Liao person when I was on a business trip last month. ”
At this moment, a servant hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Childe, Childe is not good, that bearded man has escaped." ”
"What?" Tao Pengju was shocked, he didn't care about the competition now, and hurriedly said to Huang Lao: "Lord Huang, that person is from Liao, and the purpose of coming here may not be simple, we must not let him escape." ”
"The old man already knows." Boss Huang waved his hand and said to Meng Ruolang: "Lord Meng, this matter will be for you." ”
Meng Ruolang didn't say much, nodded, and jumped out of the window of this restaurant on tiptoe.
About after the tea time, Meng Ruolang returned to the restaurant, still holding a beard with a blue nose and swollen face, a sallow complexion, deep sunken eyes, and tattered clothes.
Although everyone present had heard of the names of the Liao people, most of them had seen it for the first time, and they couldn't help but look at it curiously.
The language of the Liao State is Jurchen, which in some places is very different from Mongolian, but very different from Huaxia.
Huang Lao didn't know that he would meet the Liao people on this trip, so he didn't have a translator who was proficient in the Jurchen language with him, so he frowned at the moment and looked at Meng Ruolang.
Although Xue Ruyue also walked through the north and south of the river, it was the first time she saw a Liao person, and she couldn't help but say: "It turns out that the Liao people look the same as my Chinese people. ”
Bi Yuntao smiled and didn't explain, there are actually some differences between this Jurchen and the Huaxia people in some places, and it is really difficult to detect if you don't look carefully.
Meng Ruolang noticed Huang Lao's gaze, shrugged his shoulders, and was about to open his mouth to ask the bearded man, but the bearded man pointed in the direction of Xue Ruyue and Bi Yuntao, and said a lot, his expression was excited, and his eyes lit up.
The bearded man's sudden move startled Xue Ruyue, and she ran behind Bi Yuntao in fright, which made her feel a lot more relieved.
Bi Yuntao's face was slightly stiff, and he turned to Xue Ruyue and said, "Sister Xue, quickly put it away, and your wealth will not be exposed." ”
Xue Ruyue didn't know why, but she still understood the truth that wealth was not exposed, and obediently stuffed the diamond into the purse, but the diamond was too big, and the purse was bulging, but there was a feeling that there was no silver three hundred taels here.
As the diamond was stuffed into the purse by Xue Ruyue, the excitement on the bearded man's face instantly turned into loneliness and disappointment, and he said a few more words, ignoring the dream waves on the side, and bowed three times and nine times to Xue Ruyue.
At this time, everyone present was all confused, and looked at Xue Ruyue in confusion, not knowing why the bearded man would give her such a big salute.
Bi Yuntao raised his eyebrows and said nothing, walked in front of the bearded man, and under the stunned eyes of everyone, he actually chatted with the bearded man word by word.
Meng Ruolang on the side saw all this, and was so surprised that he almost didn't bite off his tongue. Although he knew that his eldest brother had a lot of secrets, he didn't expect that his eldest brother would understand Khitan.
When the bearded man saw that someone understood Khitan, his face immediately turned happy, and he also chattered.
Everyone in the hall, no one can understand the language of the two, but Huang Lao is very happy, this King of Qi can understand the Khitan language, it is really hidden, so take a look, all kinds of behaviors in the capital are a last resort!
As he spoke, everyone was surprised, and the bearded man hugged Bi Yuntao's trouser legs with a handful of snot and tears. This is not the end, he actually took out a diamond the size of half a little finger from his body and gave it to Bi Yuntao respectfully.
Bi Yuntao happily accepted the bearded man's filial piety and stuffed it into his purse openly. Turning around and smiling: "I asked clearly, this person is indeed from Liao, and these diamonds were stolen from the palace." It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as he escaped from the tiger's mouth, he entered the wolf's den, and fell into Tao Pengju's hands within a few days. ”
Huang Lao was overjoyed, looked at Tao Pengju and said, "Master Tao, what else do you have to say?" ”
"This ...... This is all Bi Yuntao's one-sided words. He is the only one here who understands Khitan language, who knows if what he said is true or false, in case he is talking nonsense, wouldn't I have suffered a big loss in vain? Tao Pengju said unrelentingly, "In this case, it is better to keep the results of this competition for the time being, and wait until you find a translator who understands Khitan, and then do him and say, I don't know what you think, Lord Huang?" ”
As soon as Huang Lao heard this, he straightened his face and said unhappily: "Master Tao, it was you who said that you were competing, and it was you who said that you didn't want to compete, aren't you teasing this official?" As he spoke, a fierce gaze burst out of his eyes, stabbing his skin painfully.
Tao Pengju was frightened into a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Xiaosheng doesn't dare." Xiao Sheng just stated the facts, he was in a hurry, and there was a lot of offense in his words, Lord Huang, you have a lot, don't take it to heart. Xiao Sheng felt that this matter was all said by Bi Yuntao alone, and Xiao Sheng and the others couldn't understand the Khitan language, so it would be unfair to attribute the winner to Bi Yuntao. ”
"Well, you have a point." Huang Lao's face softened a lot, stroked his beard, and said with an embarrassed expression: "However, if you want to find another person in this competition as you said, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to accept Snow Maiden." But at present, there is no translator who understands Khitan, which is really difficult. ”
This is for everyone, but it is not.
Meng Ruolang immediately understood what Huang Lao meant, and stood up at the right time, clasped his fists and saluted: "Lord Huang, the lower official is not talented, he once met with his father the envoy of the Liao State, and learned the simple Khitan language under his father, so this Khitan official also understands some things. ”
Huang Lao pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh? Why didn't you say it earlier, Lord Meng! Knowing this, the official asked you to ask this person. ”
"Lord Huang forgives the sin, and the lower official was shocked for a moment when he saw that this Bi brother actually understood the Khitan language, so he forgot to talk about it with the adults." Meng Ruolang said embarrassedly.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter. These are harmless. Huang Lao smiled: "In this case, the conversation between Little Brother Bi and this person just now Master Meng also heard it clearly, I don't know if Little Brother Bi has deceived this official?" ”
"Lord Huang, this Brother Bi is true." Meng Ruolang said respectfully.
Tao Pengju's face was pale, knowing that this time the general trend had gone, and it was useless to say more, so he had to grit his teeth and say: "This time, I lost." ”
