Chapter 341 Carved Scroll (Addition for September Monthly Pass

Emperor Jianxi took a last look at the furnishings here, then quickly turned around and exited this strange and chilling palace.

Outside the Compassionate Ning Palace, all the palace people knelt down on the ground, and everyone lowered their heads and knelt in the same posture and angle, as if they heard nothing or saw anything.

Emperor Jianxi left here at a speed close to a race, leaving behind only the palace people and fallen leaves.

The next morning, Bai Yi woke up.

When he walked to the yard as usual, ready to fetch water to wash, Bai Ling was already standing there.

She looked up at the sky.

Bai Yi called her name, and Bai Ling turned around, pointing to the southwest corner of the sky with a complicated expression, "Look there."

Bai Yi raised his head - to their southwest, a huge comet hung in the corner of the sky.

Even in daylight, the light of the comet is still dazzling.

Burling took a deep breath.

“It felt like we were going to witness a piece of history.”

……

This morning, Bo Ling went alone to choose a gift for Bao Yuan.

If it was in normal times, such red tape would probably only make her feel trivial and boring.

But in today's situation, she put all her energy into preparing for this small matter, as if it was the most important thing now.

With the imperial concubine around, Baoyuan will not be short of money, and there is no need to hold any dead objects to show her status-thinking about how generously she gave herself all the precious stones that she had hidden for many years before, you know that the imperial concubine secretly cares for her. How great is the effort.

Burling intends to pick something chic and delicate, not necessarily expensive.

But looking all the way, she didn't come across even a single thing that was a good match for her eyes.

It was just one street after another, and finally Bo Ling came to the old Liuli Lane where calligraphy, paintings and antiques were sold.

Although she didn't know Wenwan, the way every shopkeeper came up to greet her made her feel a little weird.

She chatted casually with each of the shopkeepers, and in the end, everyone threw out similar words-"I have some private goods upstairs, girl, you have some eyes, come up and have a look. "

Burling rejected them all.

"How can I have eyesight? I don't understand at all."

Bo Ling always said this while retreating and changing to another house.

Until I came to a store at the West Street entrance of Lao Liuli Lane, there was no one in the store, and the only person who looked after the store was a weak scholar.He stood in the corner by himself, looking towards Boling from time to time, as if he wanted to strike up a conversation, but he was embarrassed.

Thanks to this shyness, Bo Ling went through the entire three shelves by herself. In the innermost position, she suddenly saw a brown jade ball.

The jade ball was stacked in the bottom pile of jade objects. Bai Ling picked it up and weighed it in his hand. The weight seemed to be just what she wanted.

When she was about to get up, she suddenly found a scrawled note pasted on the front of the pile of jade boxes.

Bo Ling looked at it with some concern.

Seeing that Bo Ling hadn't put down the utensil, the scholar finally summoned up his courage and approached slowly, "What did the girl fancy?"

Bo Ling pointed to the note, "What is written here is...?"

"Ah," the scholar responded, "it says 'Overdue'."

"Overdue?"

"There are some things that paid the deposit but didn't pay the final payment on time, and some people asked us to look for them according to the pattern, but we refused to accept them when we found them." The scholar explained in a low voice, "It's good if they can be sold." The expensive ones have been placed on other cabinets, these are all worthless things, girl?"

"How much is this ball?" Bo Ling asked while holding the brown jade ball.

The scholar said directly, "I'll charge you one hundred Wen."

Bai Ling thought for a while, and tentatively took the cut-off share, and reached out to the scholar, "Fifty Wen? Fifty Wen, I'll just pay and take it away."

The scholar was not surprised. Half-off bargaining was already a common method on this street.

"If you really want it," he replied politely, "[-] Wen for you."

Berlin did not make any further counter-offers.

After paying the bill, the scholar wrapped the brown jade ball with some waste paper.Bo Ling put away his things and turned to leave, but the scholar suddenly seemed to remember something, "Girl! We still have some good things upstairs, do you want to go and have a look?"

Bai Ling stopped in a funny way, this time she did not refuse, "Why does everyone put good things upstairs? What did you put upstairs?"

"Uh..." The scholar didn't know how to explain.

"Then I'll go upstairs and have a look." Bo Ling replied directly.

The scholar nodded repeatedly. Seeing that Bo Ling had turned back and stepped on the steps upstairs, he also quickly turned out from behind the counter, but just opened the partition between the counter and the front shop, and a fat man with big ears ran in outside. Fatty in silk clothes.

"Are you...the...man here?" the man gasped.

This voice was familiar to Bo Ling, and she stopped in the middle of the stairs, looking back curiously.

Seeing this, Bai Ling was delighted—the fat man was none other than Wang Yuzhang who happened to meet in Yinfeng Garden last time.

The last time I went to Yuzhang Ticket Office, I didn’t meet him. I didn’t expect to meet him here.

"Are you...?" The scholar looked at the guest who suddenly barged in with some embarrassment.

Wang Yuzhang took out a four-fold contract from his arms, and pushed it to the scholar in front of the cabinet.

"I'm here...to pick up the goods." He didn't care to wipe off his sweat, "I was supposed to come the day before yesterday, but something happened at home and I forgot about it myself. Are the things still there?"

"I'll show you..." The scholar took his contract, read the first line, and said "ah".

Wang Yuzhang's heart sank, "It's all sold!?"

The scholar blinked, then turned to look at Bo Ling who was standing on the stairs.

Wang Yuzhang immediately looked over.

"Wang Yuanwai." Bo Ling took the initiative to say hello.

Wang Yuzhang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Bosi Yao!"

"...how about," the scholar pointed to Bo Ling and then to Wang Yuzhang, "You two make a deal by yourself?"

……

Outside Old Liuli Lane, in an open-air tea shop, Bo Ling and Wang Yuzhang put a bowl of herbal tea in front of each other.

According to Wang Yuzhang, the sweet rice cakes in this tea shop are extremely famous—he himself always eats a few bowls here every time he comes to Laoliuli Alley.

After a while, Xiao Er brought up four bowls of sweet rice cakes, one bowl was placed in front of Bai Ling, and the remaining three bowls were placed in Wang Yuzhang's place.

Wang Yuzhang picked up the spoon with one hand, and with the other hand skillfully unwrapped a paper bag that came with the rice cake, which contained fine granulated sugar.

Wang Yuzhang shook his fingertips and evenly sprinkled the sugar on the sweet rice cake.

——The extravagant eating method of directly sprinkling white sugar should be specially prepared by the store for this Boss Wang.

Bo Ling lowered his head and took a bite—the rice cake was already very sweet, and even a sweet tooth like her felt a little greasy.

But Wang Yuzhang even wanted to add sugar...

"I didn't expect Si Yao to play this." Wang Yuzhang pointed to the cloth bag that Bo Ling put on the table.

"I don't play." Bo Ling shook his head, and told the person in front of him the exact reason why he went out today.

Wang Yuzhang was originally smiling, but his expression became more and more surprised as he listened.

"So how did you fall for this thing?"

"I just think it... looks interesting." Bo Ling looked at the things at hand, "Does Wang Yuanwai like it very much? I heard from the guy in the store that this thing is not very valuable."

"How can it be worthless?" Wang Yuzhang's eyebrows were squeezed into a horoscope, "This is a carved scroll."
