Chapter 295, Qinglang pendant
Chapter 295, Qinglang pendant
At the end of this year, the ancient city is still as prosperous as before, the place is very small, but the flow of people is large. Ran Qianluo vaguely remembered the time when he came here alone before. I saw a lot of strange things, and I didn't know what they were. Now revisited, it's all still there. This time is still the same as last time, but now there is no such worry, but it is quiet and happy to stroll around with Shi Yunyang so leisurely.
The two of them turned around for a long time, and there were really so many things in the ancient city that there were too many people to come. If you can talk to the boss, you may be able to see something that you can't see in the market. These things are good, but the price is also surprisingly expensive. A Hui Ling Pill is only worth a hundred taels of silver outside, and the price may have to increase by four or five times here. Therefore, in this black market, you must have an eye to buy things. Otherwise, you will lose a lot.
The two of them walked back and forth in this ancient city a few times, and saw some strange things, but they didn't need anything, so they just looked at it. Stopping and stopping, I unconsciously walked to the sixth floor. The shops on the sixth floor are almost all neat, there are no small stalls everywhere, and everything is displayed very neatly. The decoration of the shop is also very exquisite. Here, it won't be like the five floors below, and there will be ** shouting. The sellers here are very quiet, and if the customers need anything, they just have to answer their questions, as if they don't have to worry about the things here that can't be sold.
However, those who can reach this sixth layer must not be simple. And I don't care about this little bit of money. Most of them are people with a certain status, so although there are not many people in this sixth layer, they have a sense of nobility. In contrast, the five floors below are more like places for the townspeople to go. The place was quite clean, and the two of them walked hand in hand, looking at the shops with rare treasures, as if they were really here to visit.
This kind of busyness is very rare, there is one point and one point is less, and the two of them also cherish it, occasionally glance at each other, and their eyes are full of infinite affection. Passing by a jewelry store, Ran Tianluo was surprised to find that there was a hairpin that was tied to the moon by the spirit snake.
When Ran Qianluo saw the hairpin, she suddenly remembered what the boss had said when Shi Yunyang changed the hairpin for her in Wa Imperial City. sighed: "I can't imagine that there is really a map of the spirit snake binding the moon in the human world." β
"Does the girl know this hairpin?" said the middle-aged woman, smiling enthusiastically.
Ran Tianluo nodded and said, "This hairpin is called Spirit Snake Binding Moon, and it just so happens that I also have an identical one." β
The woman said, "I don't have a picture of this hairpin, but the style of this thing is somewhat historical." It's not too expensive to buy in my shop, and since the girl has one, she might as well look at the others. I have Khotan's red Xuan, Qinglang, feldspar, and crystal here. There are also ice stones, amber, and jade, all of which are complete, and they must match the beauty of the girl. β
Ran Tianluo smiled and waved his hand, "I still think this spirit snake binding the moon is the most beautiful." Ran Tianluo turned his eyes to look at Shi Yunyang, his eyes were full of tenderness. Shi Yunyang also smiled and returned the tenderness again.
Suddenly, I heard the shopkeeper laugh and say, "The things I have here are exquisite, but they certainly can't be compared with the girl's love token." But the girl can also pick up some other spare jewelry. β
Ran Tianluo's face was dyed red, and he said, "No, my jewelry is enough." Yunyang, let's go. β
Shi Yunyang said: "Really don't buy it?"
Ran Tianluo was silent, and the shopkeeper said: "Childe, this is yours, how can a girl ask you for something, in that case, the thing will always be dead, you have to choose one for her." There are so many jewelry here, as long as you give it, she will like it. β
When Ran Tianluo heard this, his face suddenly turned even redder. Shi Yunyang said abruptly: "The shopkeeper is reasonable, but this one is not bad." Shi Yunyang picked out a cloisonnΓ© Qinglang pendant from those jewelry, turned around and put it on for Ran Tianluo. Ran Tianluo refused.
"Yun Yang, this is too expensive, no" But before she could finish speaking, Shi Yunyang's hand went around her neck and tied the pendant around her neck.
Shi Yunyang took a step back and said with a light smile: "It's really good." I saw Ran Tianluo wearing the pendant, the thin gold wire was welded on the appearance of the Qinglang stone, and the pale green surrounded the gold, emitting a weak shimmer. Coupled with the jade-like skin, it is really beautiful.
The shopkeeper clapped his hands and said: "This pendant and the girl are really a perfect match, the girl's beauty is already amazing, but wearing this pendant, it makes people feel envious." The girl's beauty has been raised by three points, can the son bear to destroy it?"
Shi Yunyang said: "How much is this pendant?"
The shopkeeper said: "It's easy to say, this pendant is also a boutique in a small shop, and the son has a discerning eye, and he picked the best of this boutique at a glance." This pendant is not easy to come by, and it is the only one, which can be said to be out of print. Originally, the price was 2,000 taels of silver, but I saw that the son and this girl were deeply in love, and the girl was born so beautiful, and this pendant was also the dignity of the small shop. Therefore, the small shop gave the son a discount, which was regarded as a blessing for the two. What do you think of 1,200 taels?"
"One thousand two hundred taels! It's so expensive, I'm afraid you can buy ten pieces in other places!" Ran Tianluo said in surprise. Although she also knew that this pendant would definitely be more expensive than the outside, she estimated that it would be three or four hundred taels, or four or five hundred taels. I can't imagine that this price is ten times higher than the jewelry outside! No wonder it is said that this ancient city is a black market.
The shopkeeper said: "The girl's words are wrong, and regardless of the material of this pendant is high-grade green jade, this craftsmanship is also superb, just saying that this thing matches the girl's beauty, it is worth this price." And this boy cares about the girl so much, will he care about this money, right?" Shi Yunyang smiled, he knew that this was a trick used by merchants, so he had to buy it at this time, or he didn't care about her. Shi Yunyang sighed in his heart, what a sharp-tongued businessman. However, he also wanted to buy the pendant, so he didn't take what the shopkeeper said to heart, but he could push the boat with the water.
Shi Yunyang said: "The shopkeeper is right, if I don't buy it, don't I just don't care about you? Shi Yunyang looked at her eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "One thousand two hundred taels, I want it." β
And the woman was exceedingly glad, and took the money, and her face was three points more passionate. She said: "I wish the two of you to grow old together, and if you need it in the future, please take care of the small shop." Two distinguished guests, please walk slowly. β
Shi Yunyang nodded, pulled Ran Tianluo and walked onto the trestle and left. After walking a short distance, Ran Tianluo pinched his palm and said angrily: "One thousand two hundred taels, it's so expensive, how can you give it up." β
Shi Yunyang stopped his steps and said, "For you, I can do without anything, including my life, what is the amount of money." It's a big deal to do some more work. This pendant is really beautiful on you. β
Ran Tianluo's eyes drifted away, not looking at him, and said, "Forget it, you can't spend money like this in the future." We don't have the same financial resources as Mr. Han, and sometimes we need money to buy things. Although Han Gongzi has never treated us as outsiders, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and there should be no financial entanglements.
Shi Yunyang said: "In my heart, your jewelry is also a part of the purchase. It's just the time in reality, we've known each other for almost three years, but we haven't given you anything. Money, look at it, there will always be a way. β
Ran Qianluo deliberately looked at him with a cold face, as if he was very strict, but when he saw Shi Yunyang's spring-like eyes, he couldn't help but laugh. She said, "I can't talk about you, forget it." Thank you, though, Yunyang!"
Shi Yunyang stroked her face and said, "What is not thankful, it's just a pendant." β
Ran Tianluo leaned her face on the palm of his hand, like a docile rabbit, she said: "It's not to thank you for giving me this pendant, but to thank you for being by my side and spending all these thoughts for me." β
Shi Yunyang chuckled, didn't say a word, and gently hugged her into his arms, all of which were silent.
When the two returned to the Four Seas Inn, Han Lun had already returned, and Luo Xiaocheng was not surprised, he was still drinking. But when Shi Yunyang and the others pushed the door in, the two of them invariably noticed the pendant on her neck.
Han Lun said: "I said where did you go, it turned out that you went to buy jewelry." But Miss Ran is really beautiful wearing this pendant. Luo Xiaocheng also clapped his hands in agreement. Ran Tianluo smiled faintly, very happy, she said, "Has Han Gongzi collected any useful information?"
Han Lun said: "Then I need to say, I probably asked more than a dozen people." Something strange was learned. β
"Strange things? Ran Tianluo closed the door, and the four of them gathered around the table, and Han Lun said, "I inquired that this King of Ten Thousand Gold came here decades ago. At that time, it was only a small town, and it was often raided by horse thieves. But after the Wanjin King came, there was a lot of wind and sand in the Zoumachuan outside the city. Ordinary people can't get in at all. Later, the method of entering here was gradually brought out by the locals, but it was only some nobles who could hear about it. Later, the end city became more and more prosperous, and later it became a black market. β
Shi Yunyang said: "The people here must have spread this method because they received the favor of the King of Ten Thousand Gold and did it deliberately. In this way, this ancient city was built by King Wanjin. So, why did Cui Fujun have to kill such a person?"
Han Lun shook his head and said, "I heard about a particularly strange thing. On the fifteenth day of every month, the market will be closed, and during the closing period, all trading will be stopped. Even inns can't be opened. And the last city was empty. At that time, if there was a photo of the moon, you could see a team of ghosts floating in the air and seemingly non-existent to enter the ninth floor. β
Luo Xiaocheng frowned and said, "Ghost team?"
Han Lun nodded and said, "Coincidentally, tomorrow will be fifteen." β
