Siheyuan: Starting from the promotion of an engineer

Chapter 465 The Mysterious Jade Card

Xu Damao left the shop proudly.

Not long after the front foot walked, the man quietly followed.

The guy walks away.

The foreigner named George also returned to the store.

Since he couldn't find anyone who was willing to bargain for him, George had no choice but to buy the jade plaque for $9.

"Boss~ This is [-] US dollars, here you are, you give me the jade token, [-] is [-], I admit it~"

After entering the store, George took out a stack of beautiful knives and put them directly on the counter while talking nonsense.

Looking at the beautiful knife, the shopkeeper swallowed his saliva.

He frowned and said, "You said, comrade, if you were so happy just now, the jade badge would be yours too, wouldn't it? It's a pity, it has already been coaxed and fraudulently bought by the people just now!"

"God? Sold?"

"Yes, but don't worry, I still have it."

George's heart moved, and his eyes immediately shone.

"Where is it? Let me see!"

The shopkeeper smiled slightly, and took out a wooden box from under the counter. After opening it, it was filled with carved pieces of Dushan jade.

There are jade pendants, jade rings, jade bracelets, jade wrench fingers, Pixiu, Ruyi, flying tigers of the Eight Swords of Han Dynasty and so on.

"My friend from abroad, comrade with yellow hair, please pay attention. This is all Dushan jade. How many of them are better than the jade plate? Whichever one you like, just take it!"

Disappointed, George pocketed the money.

"Where did that person go?"

"Hey! It's not the jade card. Co-author. Well, it seems that this beautiful knife should not be my property. The shop assistant has already followed him. Can you tell me why I have to ask for the jade card?"

"You are not qualified to know, which direction did he go?"

The shopkeeper curled his mouth and said coldly: "Go east, go find it yourself!"

George immediately went out and chased eastward.

The shopkeeper couldn't help frowning, and said to himself: "It's just a mid-range Dushan jade brand, at most it's from Jiefang, is it necessary to grab it like this? Damn, I've been in this business for most of my life , will look away?"

After Xu Damao received the jade token, he didn't take a long walk in Liulichang, but went home by car.

The store clerk saw that he returned after getting on the bus, but he didn't see why.

Turning around, I happened to meet George.

"Where's that person?" The foreigner asked with a twitch.

Seeing the question from the foreigner, the clerk thought that the foreigner and Xu Damao were going to bypass the store and trade by themselves.

Angrily, he pointed to the bus that had left.

"No. 3 car, go after it by yourself, slot! You're just a rascal who doesn't know the rules. He thought it was a plainclothes person who came to investigate secretly. Is it scary to co-author?"

Seeing that the bus had gone far away and it was impossible to run after it, George immediately took out two 10-yuan bills.

Obviously he changed it at the bank after he came to the capital.

"You take me to chase after you by bike, the money is hard work!"

The clerk rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "50, I'll take a shortcut and send you to the next bus stop of the No. 3 bus."

"Okay! Fifty is fifty!"

Of course, the store clerk was not willing to let it go if he had some extra money. He borrowed two bicycles from a nearby store, and took a shortcut with George.

On the first day Xu Damao explored the road, he encountered something good, which was what Lin Zhen had specially instructed him to do before.

After taking it back by special means, I was so happy in my heart.

Sitting on the bus, I hummed a little tune, leaning on the seat with my eyes closed, feeling uncomfortable.

He didn't notice at all that the foreigner George had already got on the bus when he made the third stop after getting on the bus.

Sitting not far behind him, staring at Xu Damao coldly.

Xu Damao was going to go home, but after thinking about it in his heart, Lin Zhen would not be back until at least three days later.

It's a bit too impatient to put him at home and wait for Lin Zhen to come back.

It's better to hand it to Lou Xiao'e directly. Anyway, Lin Zhen is not in Sijiu City, and Lou Xiao'e has the final say on all matters.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao went directly to Bacui Building.

Lou Xiaoe is looking at the list in the office.

Lin Dong and Lin Liang are helping her organize the materials.

Yu Li knocked on the door and came in and said, "Xiao'e, Xu Damao came to you and said that there is something to gain."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Damao entered the room proudly.

Put the jade plaque directly on the desk.

"Hey, the second piece, I thought I'd never meet it again, what a coincidence, I met it when I just arrived at Liulichang today."

Lou Xiao'e picked it up and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Yinyuan? There is really a second piece, so there are still a third piece, a fourth piece, and a fifth piece. Xu Damao, this is really a big harvest!"

Lin Dong and Lin Liang hurried over, took the jade plaque and examined it carefully.

Xu Damao said in surprise: "Eh? You know the words on it? Do you know what brand it is?"

Yu Li also surrounded her curiously.

Lou Xiaoe said: "These two seal characters are written as Yinyuan, and the other side is engraved with Yinyuanxing."

Xu Damao asked suspiciously: "Yinyuanxing, isn't this the Big Dipper?"

"That's right, it's the Big Dipper, but there are two dark stars on the top and bottom of the handle, the upper one is Dongming, and the lower one is Yinyuan, also known as Zuofu Youbi, assisting the Big Dipper to revolve around the Polaris .”

Xu Damao was confused, "Why do you want to assist Big Dipper?"

Lou Xiaoe said: "The Polaris governs the stars of the Milky Way, and it is the supreme symbol in our ancestral culture. The Big Dipper is like a country, with masters and ministers, literature and military, laws and orders, and soldiers. Dongming and Yinyuan are to help the country govern. of the world."

Yu Li was like listening to a book from heaven, "Lin Zhen told you this? It's too mysterious!"

Lou Xiaoe said with a smile: "The idea about Dongming and Yinyuan was guessed by Lin Zhen, and I learned the others when I was in school, and these records can be found in ancient books."

Lin Dong said: "Our ancestors did a lot in exploring the starry sky, it's just that the imperial examinations were not taken in ancient times."

Lin Liangdao: "My dad said that Dongming Yinyuan may be two supergiant stars, but they have already exploded in a supernova way in prehistoric times, so we can't see them now."

Xu Damao and Yu Li glanced at each other, each more dazed than the other.

"Uh...Xiao'e, what is this sign for? Is it enshrined in a Taoist temple?"

"No, this should be an identity badge for members of an ancient organization, and this sect is Yinyuan."

Yu Li shook her head, "Forget it, I won't listen to the book today, you guys talk, I'll go to the hall."

Xu Damao thought for a while, and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that Lin Gong is looking for someone from the Yinyuan Sect?"

Lou Xiaoe said: "I don't know about that. I haven't asked him carefully, but I think that if there is an organization called Yinyuanmen that secretly helps the country, then he has declined now, or even disappeared."

Xu Damao asked in surprise: "Will such a powerful sect disappear?"

"What is this? Isn't the Mo family an example?"

While talking, Yu Li turned back again.

Xu Damao joked: "Eh? Yu Li, don't you listen to the scriptures? Why are you back again?"

Yu Li said: "You still have the nerve to say that there is a foreigner outside who said he was looking for you. He said he saw you entering the Bacui Building. How did you get this jade card?"

"Oh, I forgot about this! When I received this brand, there was a little episode."

Xu Damao then recounted in detail how he met the foreigner George in Liulichang.

Lou Xiaoe couldn't help frowning after hearing this: "It seems that this is a person who knows the details, and he came for Yinyuanmen."

Xu Damao was startled, and immediately said: "Why don't you call Lin Gong? No, Lin Gong and the others are in the car and can't answer the phone, or call Sun Antang, the chief of the security department of the rolling mill. Just call and send this foreigner back to China!"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and said, "Our country has reopened, and people have gone through formal procedures, why do you send them away?"

"I……"

"Forget it, you can go to the back kitchen to help, Yu Li, tell this foreigner that the person he is looking for has left through the back door. We don't know each other. Let him report the crime and find a way to send him away."

Xu Damao and Yu Li nodded, and immediately turned to go out.

After the two left, Lin Dong and Lin Liang asked, "Mom, if that foreigner came for the jade plaque, Aunt Yu might not be able to dismiss him with a few words."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "If you can't get rid of it, it proves that he really came to Yinyuanmen. If you just follow me to trick him, it's good if you can ask your father something. If you can't ask, let's pretend to be stupid." drive him away."

After a while, Yu Li came to the office with some embarrassment.

"Xiao'e, this foreigner is so determined that he won't leave, and he won't be looking for Xu Damao anymore. He insists on seeing the general manager."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Lead him to the private room, and I'll take Lin Dong and Lin Liang to have a look."

George was still surprised when he saw Lou Xiaoe.

He said in cursing words: "I didn't expect that the owner of the big restaurant is a woman. Why did you send someone to grab that jade token from me?"

Lou Xiaoe asked curiously: "What jade token? I think you are from a foreign country, so I made an exception to see you. If you make trouble for no reason, you should leave quickly. When you come to us, you should abide by our laws and morals."

George looked at Lou Xiaoe, then at Lin Dong and Lin Liang. To be honest, even though he was well-informed, he was overwhelmed by the aura of the three in front of him.

He was a little arrogant, but now he is humble.

She smiled slightly and said, "Ma'am, my name is George. I'm from the east of the Pacific Ocean. I'm sorry to bother you rashly. I came here chasing a jade plaque."

Lou Xiaoe said: "We are a restaurant, not an antique market, you have come to the wrong place."

"No, I walked around the neighborhood before entering the restaurant. That person didn't leave at all, so don't lie to me. I was the one who saw the jade plaque first. I asked him to buy it for me. Instead of helping me, he bought it for me." Frightening the shopkeeper to cut me off, is this your tradition? If that’s the case, I can’t do as the Romans do.”

Lou Xiao'e was not angry, and said lightly: "You haven't answered what kind of jade card I am, even if you ask me to help you find it, you have to be polite, right? When you come to our state of etiquette, you don't even learn the most basic manners ?"

"Oh! I'm sorry, it's my fault. I was too anxious and worried about that jade token. Ma'am, please forgive my impoliteness. In fact, the jade token I'm after belongs to my grandfather. It's very important to me. If you can give it to me, I will compensate you 9 dollars."

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help laughing, "Could it be that your grandfather is from Xia Kingdom?"

"Yes, I'm a mixed race. I've been waiting for the opportunity to come and look for his relics. As soon as your side is opened, I'll go through the formalities and come here!"

Lou Xiaoe shook her head slightly and said: "Your lie can only deceive elementary school students. Since you don't say what the jade token is for, then please report the crime. The police may be able to help you find the person who bought the jade token, but they won't Let you take it abroad."

"Oh ma'am, I'm not lying, I..."

Lin Dong raised his hand and interrupted George's words, "You don't have any characteristics of a yellow race, let alone your grandfather is a yellow race, even your grandfather's father has nothing to do with a yellow race."

Lin Liang said: "Since you are dishonest, don't think that others can help you, and we don't have time to chat with you here!"
