The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 426 Old Man Luo
Entering the shop, an old man in sixties with black and white hair was sitting behind the counter. The silver mask on half of his face was very eye-catching, reflecting a shallow light in the room which was not bright.

Old man Luo didn't raise his eyes after the two walked in. He just concentrated on mending the picture scroll in his hand, and asked, "What do you two want to buy?"

"Why is it so dark in here?" Zhao Renhou started talking after he came in, his eyes looked around, the room was facing away from the sun in the afternoon, and the light in winter was not good, so the room seemed a bit dark , it's not that you can't see things clearly.

There are shelves on both sides of the room. Behind the counter is an old man with gray hair. There is a row of shelves and a door behind the old man. The things look very complete.

"Old man." Yan Xuan called out warmly, and then took out the jade pendant.

The material of the jade pendant is ordinary, with some orange-yellow hues, round in shape, with a big turtle on the front and two lines of small poems carved on the back.

The sound of the jade pendant being lightly placed on the counter made old man Luo's hand stop. At this time, Zhao Renhou also came over, looking at a jade pendant carved with a turtle, but he didn't think it was a big deal.

Turtles live long and are often used as ornaments, but jade pendants are rare.

Old man Luo put down the repair tool in his hand, and stretched out his skinny hand. The skin on the back of the hand was dry and wrinkled, covering the fragile and fragile fingers.

Picking up the jade pendant, old man Luo glanced at it, and muttered to himself the little poem on the back of the jade pendant: "If there is no north-south road outside the door, the world should avoid the sorrow of parting!"

His voice sounded hoarse and melancholy, even though half of his face was hidden in an airtight mask, there was still some gleam in that cloudy and dim eye.

However, this emotion quickly disappeared from old man Luo's face, leaving only a face of indifference, and he looked at Zhao Renhou.

Yan Xuan said: "Old man, we are together."

"Don't call me an old man, just call me old man Luo." After finishing speaking, he put down the jade pendant, his eyes still on Zhao Renhou, and said, "There are no rules, so if you want to go in, keep something of yours."

Then he pointed to the tortoise jade pendant and said, "Take this jade pendant in exchange."

"What?" Zhao Renhou was taken aback for a moment, but seeing Wang An's expression, he subconsciously looked at himself.

When he came out, he changed into casual clothes, but there was a purse around his waist that had been used for decades. The purse was embroidered by his old mother. It contained a stone from the river, which his wife picked up in the river. name.

He has cherished this thing for decades, but in the eyes of outsiders, it seems a bit out of hand.

Old Man Luo stared at Zhao Renhou's pocket, and said, "Just take it."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Renhou subconsciously stretched out his hand to protect him, and when facing the old man's strange eyes, he still reluctantly relieved him.

The purse has turned yellow and frayed, and the embroidery is blurred. Even if it is thrown on the street, no one will pick it up.

"Here." Marquis Zhao Ren took it lightly, showing great care.

Old man Luo grabbed the purse from the counter, locked it in the cabinet, then got up and opened the small door that sealed the inside of the counter.

The movement was clean and neat, without the slightest procrastination, and then opened the door behind the counter.

"Your Majesty, the servants' tea is ready, but no one is coming," Xuemei said, when she heard the sound of going upstairs from outside, she was taken aback for a moment.

No one else is allowed on the third floor, it seems that King An is here.

Lin Jiaojiao stopped playing with the white jade cup suddenly, raised her eyes to look at the door, and heard the voice, she couldn't be alone.

So King An succeeded in bringing people here.

It's not in vain for her to trust Wang An once. If she doesn't have this ability, she really has to consider replacing him.
