Chapter 111 Undercurrent
A bead as bright as the stars and the moon lies quietly in the box, crystal clear and radiant. Even the most beautiful jade in the world cannot match one ten thousandth of its brilliance at this moment!
"Night Pearl!"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but exclaimed, "Where did you get this?"
Looking at this person's clothes, you can tell that he is a money-grubbing person who loves precious jewels. There are very few luminous pearls in the world, and each one is priceless. Whoever owns luminous pearls is not blessed with deep blessings and a respected status?
"Master Feng, do you like this thing?"
Feng De, the prefect of Yangzhou, is in charge of Dahua's economic lifeline and transportation hub. He holds great power. Emperor Shan Gao is no longer in the eyes of the emperor. In the more than ten years since he took office, he has become one of the most respected people in Yangzhou.
There is only one person in Yangzhou who is extremely greedy for money, especially treasures. Even King Yong is not one ten thousandth as good as him. But he knows the importance and does not accept treasures easily. Either they are absolutely safe and trustworthy, or the treasures are absolutely rare.
The luminous pearl in front of you is about the size of your thumb. Although it is semi-elliptical, its luminous light is soft and has a touch of green. You can faintly see the glow inside, as if there is a living little dragon swimming in the stone. It is so rare that it can be said to be the only one you have ever seen in your life.
.
"Chinese...Chinese..." Mr. Feng was so excited that he wanted to get it, but he felt it was inappropriate. "Tell me, where did you get this thing?"
"To be honest, this is the meeting gift given to you by the young master of the Xia family."
"Young master of the Xia family?"
"Exactly. It was also the official who neglected his duty. He received a secret order from your Excellency to get rid of this person, but he didn't want him to escape and disappear without a trace in the process. The official did not report it because he was afraid of being blamed by your Excellency, thinking that he would disappear forever. Who knew that he would disappear forever?
"I suddenly appeared and handed this thing to you. Please present it to your lord. This is to express my state of mind. I hope your lord can put this past the past."
Mr. Feng was silent for a long time, nodded, and finally held the brocade box in his palm: "The Xia family is actually such a magical thing? The centipede insect is dead but not stiff, it is really good. That's all, as long as he knows how to measure, I will accept it.
His love."
After saying that, he took out the beads from the brocade box and looked at them carefully. He liked it more and more: "It is rumored that there is a green lotus night pearl in the palace. It is of this size. It is also known as the hidden dragon swimming in the sea.
, there is also a hidden dragon inside this bead, could it be that God wants me, Feng De, to ascend to heaven? Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!
The bright and clear Yuanming connects the inside and outside, and the clear light shines like a crystal palace. Just a little bit of filth will not stay in the palm of your hand all night. Go back and tell the Xia family, if you need convenience in the future, come to the magistrate and tell me, I will help if you can, in the past
Let all grudges be wiped out."
Chai Guan raised his hand and said: "Your Excellency is so talented that I admire you. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
…
At the fourth watch, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and there is always a bit of silence. The night wind carries the dust and fallen leaves as they wander through the deep streets and long alleys.
The young shopkeeper who made the most of the grains was exhausted after a long day's work, and snored loudly while sleeping.
Suddenly, the guarding dog barked.
Woof!
Woof!
Woof!!!
The sound was like a bucket of cold water poured on the shopkeeper, causing him to sit up suddenly and shout subconsciously: "Little Gangdan! Little Gangdan! Go and see what's going on. Why is the dog barking?"
"Little Gangdan, did you hear that?"
The shopkeeper raised his voice a few times, but still no one responded. He thought to himself, this brat slept like a pig on the first day of work, and he will be beaten later.
But just as he was thinking about it, a knife suddenly reached out from behind and was placed on his neck.
"Tell me! Where does the wine in your store come from?"
The shopkeeper only saw the black sleeves of the knife-wielding man and never dared to look back. It was a good thing he didn't see his appearance. If he had seen his appearance clearly, he would probably be killed and silenced!
"Hero, spare your life! I said, I will tell you everything. We...the wine in our shop comes from Yulin County."
"Who is the boss?"
"No... I don't know. I just heard that he is a young man who lives in Yulin County. There is a large winery in the east of Yulin County, and the wine comes from there."
The news quickly spread to those who were interested.
"It's true! This Wuliangye is the result of the transformation of Xiajiajiu. The boss behind it must be the young master of the Xiajia."
"Young altar master, what should we do next?"
"If he knows the sign, he will win over him. If he doesn't, he will ask for the recipe and then get rid of it."
…
Late at night, Huairou was still settling accounts at home, sometimes frowning, sometimes biting his pen, sometimes yawning, sometimes sighing under the dim light.
On the bed not far away, Xia Shang's snores appeared and disappeared, making Huairou couldn't help but look back and take another look.
She knew that her husband had not rested for a moment these days. For the sake of the winery, he had to go to the workshop every day to guard and supervise, and he had to recruit workers everywhere. Each one had to personally inquire about the situation, and he had to travel among the counties, lest he
Which store did not meet the initial requirements.
After a month of this nonstop, my husband was already exhausted. He often fell asleep when he went home and was so busy that he didn't even have a chance to talk.
The Xia family is getting better and better, but Qin Huairou feels more and more uneasy.
As a wife, I only know how to wield a sword and take care of the house, but I can't help at all. Now I finally got a job in the accounting office, but I can't even calculate a single account. And it's been so long, and I can only see my husband talking to me.
I care about her more and more, and respect her more and more, but these days of sharing the same bed, I haven't had a single pleasure.
Thinking about the two days ago when I met my mother-in-law and her mother blamed me for not being able to fulfill my duties as a wife, I was really ashamed and speechless and couldn't hold my head up. If this continued, wouldn't I become a sinner of the Xia family?
"Why!"
Qin Huairou sighed, and when he looked at the accounts again, he felt a splitting headache. Finally, he simply threw away the pen, rubbed the corners of his eyes and got into bed.
One night later, Xia Shang went to Sai Mansion early again. This was a rare rest time for Xia Shang, so he never thought of saying goodbye to Sai Mansion.
Qin Huairou was even more worried. She had not settled her accounts and did not even have time to plead guilty to her husband. Looking at the back of her husband leaving home, she couldn't help feeling resentful.
Most of Xia's house has been built, a small garden verandah has also been built, and several villas have been completed. The appearance is much better than before.
Uncle Zhong made a pot of tea and said, "Madam, morning tea."
Xiaoyue is not at home, and Yazhi is not taking care of her. There are only Uncle Zhong and the small workers who are busy with construction at home. It is deserted and deserted, which makes people feel a little depressed.
"Madam, Xiaoyue is running around here and there, and she doesn't even have a servant girl by her side. Why don't you buy two of them? The two granddaughters of Grandma Chen's family next door are just right."
"Farewell. I don't have anything to do at home now. If I were to do it for others, wouldn't I become a puddle of water?"
Just as he was talking, a car suddenly drove by the door of the courtyard.
"Uncle Zhong, go and see who it is?"
Chapter completed!
