Upon entering the door, Xie Yifan was stunned again. After wondering for a long time, he realized that this place was actually a place selling jade.

"Miss Fu, I didn't expect that your hobbies are quite extensive."

Jie Yifan chuckled, lit a cigarette for himself and took a puff, looking around at the surroundings from the corner of his eyes.

This is a habit that Jie Yifan has developed over the years. No matter where he is, as long as he is in a strange environment, he must first consider how to leave safely if something happens.

Fu Xue frowned slightly and said: "My grandfather likes jade very much. I heard that this store has a good piece of jade, so I came to take a look. Also, can you call me by my name from now on, Miss Fu, Mr. Fu?

It’s totally disgusting to hear.”

Xie Yifan, who was used to being shameless, laughed and said nothing.

Chinese people love jade, this is an indisputable fact.

The great educator in Confucius Temple once said: "A gentleman in ancient times must wear jade."

From that time on, no one in the upper echelons of society, from the emperor, princes, and princes to the nobles, was proud to wear jade. However, the ancients wore jade as a sign of strict class, and the choice of jade material and color were very important.

Regulations have been made.

According to the records in "Book of Rites", the emperor wears white jade as his pendant, tied with a black ribbon; the prince wears mountain xuan jade as his pendant, tied with a red silk cord; the doctor wears aqua jade as his pendant, which must be tied with a pure color silk cord.

Hanging; when scholars use jade pendants, they need to be tied with variegated silk ropes; when scholars use beautiful stones to make pendants, they should be connected with red and yellow silk ropes.

In ancient times, the custom of officials wearing jade gradually faded away after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It became popular again in the Ming Dynasty. Officials were required to wear jade when they went to court. When they walked, the jade pendant made a sound, like a beautiful concerto.

However, there are also cases where wearing jade brings disaster to oneself.

During the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, one day during the morning court, a minister happily presented a treasure to the emperor. Because he was walking very fast, he could not stop his body forward and accidentally bumped into the emperor. Moreover, the jade pendant he was wearing was still in contact with the emperor.

The emperor's jade pendants were entangled together, and the two people could not be separated for a while.

When done, the officials in the palace were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. Fortunately, a clever eunuch stepped forward and untied him. Later, the minister knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop, trembling with fear, because he knew that offending the emperor's authority was punishable by death.

disaster.

The emperor couldn't help laughing when he looked at the jade pendant hanging on the minister's body, but he finally pardoned him and ordered that officials in the future must wear a red gauze belt to cover the jade pendant when going to court, and it could only be untied during the ceremony of praying to heaven.

After the two entered the store, they were not in a hurry to look at anything. On the contrary, it was Fu Xue who seemed not to be a customer here to buy jade at all. If Jie Yifan had to explain Fu Xue's current behavior, he would tell everyone that he was

Come have tea and chat.

Logically speaking, Fu Xue's behavior should be one of the most unwelcome customers in the store, but strangely, the employees in this store seem to be used to it. From the time the two of them entered the door, only a little girl came to pour a glass of water.

, and then no one asked them if they needed anything else.

"Fu Da...Fu Xue, are we just sitting here and waiting?"

Jie Yifan looked around and said with a puzzled expression.

"Are you in a hurry?"

Fu Xue smiled and asked, taking out her cell phone and dialing a number.

At this time, Jie Yifan wisely chose to laugh dryly and shut up immediately.

After a while, a big fat man came out from the back of the store. Jie Yifan glanced at the fat man and was stunned.

Brother Balang?

Jie Yifan was stunned for a long time without saying anything. To be honest, Taoist practice often requires the support of magical weapons, and usually, many magical weapons are made of white jade. Therefore, Jie Yifan followed the old man.

I guess I have some familiarity with the Vivi Balangs.

When did Weiwei Balang open a store to sell jade? This was the first strange thing for Jie Yifan.

You know, although the Weiwei Barangs sell jade, they rarely open a store. They even think that opening a store specifically to sell jade is pure nonsense, because the Han people think that the most beautiful mutton-fat jade is definitely more beautiful in their hearts.

Nothing could make them more tempted than a piece of low-priced tourmaline.

This conclusion seems to be a bit "not surprising", but it is a real truth.

Anyone who likes to observe a little bit will find that in the most luxurious Weiwei restaurant or hotel, there is never anything subtle. Everything that everyone can see is gaudy and jeweled.

If a person suddenly hears a certain Weiwei Balang praising a real top-quality white jade in surprise, and appears to be impressed by its smooth texture, that is what the Balang sees is your wallet, theirs.

This habit is exactly the same as Europeans who like diamonds and amber, but can barely accept jade.

The old man concluded a saying at that time. Speaking from the bones, Balangs prefer jewelry. If there are no jewelry, they would rather love transparent and sparkling stained glass, but for jade, it is just a means for them to make money.

Seeing the Weiwei Balang coming out, Fu Xue smiled reservedly and said, "Aimaier, we meet again."

Brother Weiwei immediately burst out laughing and said a lot of words. It seemed that Balang named Aimaier welcomed Fu Xue's arrival very much and was even happy to the core.

"Are you sure you want to buy jade from him?"

Jie Yifan asked in a low voice.

The smiling expression on Fu Xue's face told Xie Yifan that he had asked nonsense.

Okay, Xie Yifan thought for a while and said, "I don't know what you want to buy, but can you leave the negotiation to me later?"

"You can have this."

Fu Xue smiled. This was the first time she spoke to Xie Yifan in such a playful tone.

Because of the language barrier, Weiwei Balang energetically checked with Fu Xue and then personally moved an antique mahogany box out of the safe.

When the mahogany box was placed on the table in front of him, the corners of Xie Yifan's eyes twitched fiercely.

Because, at this moment, the mysterious essence hidden in Jie Yifan's Dantian suddenly jumped, as if a greedy cat suddenly smelled the fishy smell and was about to move.

"What is this?"

After opening the mahogany box, Xie Yifan suppressed his inner excitement and asked.

Stored in the mahogany box is a piece of beautifully crafted white jade. The jade is shiny and smooth, with brown spots and flaws unique to raw pits all over the body. The inner and outer edges are carved with a circle pattern, and both sides are covered with ivory patterns. The upper part of the white jade is covered with ivory patterns.
