Chapter Forty-Eight: Jue'er is heartwarming
After the two of them stepped on the horse, Yu Xun wanted to rush to Shangluo City - to spy on the details of that Hu Shang, so he excused himself to go to the city to find a friend, and immediately followed Guo Jing to three ways.
The Qin Family Tavern was only a few miles away from the North City Gate, and Yu Xun galloped with his whip, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he entered the city before the city gate was closed!
He looked up and found that the "Qijia Antique Shop" not far from the North City Gate had not yet closed, so he turned over and dismounted, and led the horse to walk over......
This antique shop specializes in some exquisite and rare antiques and ornaments, and the owner's name is Qi Jiaoyuan, which is a well-known "Qi big mouth" in the north of the city.
This Qi Xuanyuan, when Yu Xun was sixteen years old, once worshiped under the descendant of the pre-Qin Mojia school, the "Shenjizi" Chun Yu Aotian, to practice skills such as mechanical instruments. Because Qi Jiaoyuan is a little older, the two have always been commensurate with each other as brothers, and there is a kind of friendship between them when they talk about the future.
"Senior Brother Qi!" As soon as Yu Xun entered the door, he was a long man at Qi Yanyuan.
"Senior Brother Yu, what kind of wind is blowing tonight? I actually saw you at this time?" Qi said that the people of Yuan were as his name, and he often talked endlessly, and he liked it very much--the first to catch people!
So, the two brothers sat down and enjoyed tea together.
"Brother Yu!" a sweet and lubricated call, through the bead curtain in the middle of the ringββ before the words fell, I saw a twenty-eight-year-old girl walk out...... She is Qi Jiaoyuan's little sister, named Qi Jue'er.
Yu Xun couldn't help but suddenly feel a slight flutter in his heart, thinking: I haven't seen her for more than half a year, Xiao Jue'er has become more and more slim and beautiful......
"Sister Jue......" Yu Xun is still the same old age: once he meets a girl who is like a flower and jade, the whole person will be stupid - his usual cleverness seems to have disappeared in an instant......
Qi Jue'er noticed his unnaturalness, and couldn't help but laugh, and her delicate face immediately turned red...... Because her brother was watching from the side, she had to give Yu Xun a blessing, and turned around and went back to the room......
Qi Jiaoyuan saw such a situation on the side, and half felt funny in his heart...... Fortunately, he turned the rudder quickly, so he deliberately asked without words: "Senior brother is here, but there is something to do?"
When Yu Xun heard him ask, he remembered the piece of jade that he had stored in his shop a long time ago, and said, "I borrowed Senior Brother Qi's skillful hand, but I don't know how the old piece of jade has been repaired by the younger brother?"
Qi Jiaoyuan immediately slapped his head: "That's right! I almost forgot it!" He turned his face and said straight to the inside: "Jue'er, quickly take your brother Yu's piece of jade!"
Jue'er immediately agreed, and soon held a lacquer plate in both hands, and lifted the curtain with a dark green jade pei.
Yu Xun thanked him, stretched out his hand to take a closer look at the jade pei, and exclaimed unconsciously in amazement: "What a brilliant workmanship! It seems that the senior brother's skills have improved a lot! This jade pei has been repaired - it is as good as ever!"
Receiving such praise, Qi Yanyuan felt as if he had floated above the nine heavens...... On the surface, however, he was genuinely humble......
Looking at the old object lying quietly on the palm of his hand, the dark green jade, Yu Xun's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a curious thought immediately came to him: Why is the pattern engraved on this jade pei so similar to the emblem on the Hu Shang gold medal?
And, what's even more strange is why I didn't notice at all: this dark green jade pei, which has been worn on my body since I was a child, has such a unique pattern?
It seems that in the dark, around this dark green jade pei and this unique "Lingyun Double Feiyan" emblem, there are some unpredictable things about to happen......
In fact, Yu Xun is indeed a very "careless" person for portable ornaments such as jade pei! Because even if he put it in his palm and looked at it for a long time, he still didn't notice that there was a crystal clear "ice seed" jade bead, which was clearly "extra" embellished on the lanyard of this jade pei!
Just when Yu Xun was deeply confused by the vaguely released "Lingyun Double Feiyan" emblem engraved on the dark green jade pei - some confusing and mysterious information, on the street outside the store, there was a particularly rapid sound of horses' hooves!
The sudden sound of horses' hooves suddenly interrupted Yu Xun's thoughts and quickly brought him back to reality......
Yu Xun suddenly felt very strange, and couldn't help blurting out: "It's strange, there are still people who can enter the city at this time?"
Qi Yanyuan, who was on the side, heard it, so he explained to him: "Senior brother, don't you know, after the city gate is closed every day, anyone who holds the order of the Governor's Mansion can still pass as usual. β
Yu Xun rushed into the city just now, just to get ahead of that Hu merchant and wait in the antique shop in advance - specially waiting for his appearance!
Now that he heard Qi Xuanyuan's statement, he was 100% sure in his heart: This person who only entered the city at this time must be the mysterious Hu Shang! And at this time, he must go straight to the Governor's Mansion!
Yu Xun then thanked Qi Xuanyuan, and said, "I'll invite you to drink another day", so he hurried out the door, got on his horse, and went straight to the street where the Governor's Mansion was located......
