Compete for the Song Dynasty

Chapter 5 Mysterious Black Crystal

The room was extraordinarily quiet, maybe there would be another world outside the door, Gao Yu thought so, opened the door and walked out of the room.Gao Yu was in a small courtyard, which was not very big. There was a row of main rooms on a platform cut out of bricks and stones, with a side room on the left and right.The corridor between the main room and the side rooms is connected, and a bluestone path under the platform leads directly to the gate of the courtyard. Some flowers and plants are planted on the left and right sides of the path.

At this moment, the courtyard door was closed tightly, and the night was dark.Gao Yu was sitting in the corridor, the bright moonlight poured into the courtyard, and the chirping of crickets like silver bells came from the corner of the courtyard.He touched the place where the trouser pocket should be, but it was just a thin shirt that was close to the body.He sighed, if only there would be a cigarette here.Looking at the scenery in front of him, Gao Yu finally understood that a single cigarette was already a luxury.

Rou'er came out of the room and walked in front of him. "Second Young Master, the room is ready, you can rest now." As she spoke, Rou'er secretly looked at Gao Yu. At this moment, Second Young Master was leaning against the beams and pillars of the promenade, looking at the moon, his eyes It was extraordinarily bright, as if he had been completely reborn from the Second Young Master he usually saw.

Rou'er once looked at the two sons in the house: the eldest son is handsome, the second son is silly; the eldest son walks lightly, and the second son moves slowly; as for the facial features: the second son's eyes are usually open except when sleeping. The eyes are big, but there is a layer of fog in the eyes, and the eyes are dull and lifeless; and Rou'er has also sneaked a glance at the eldest son, the eyes are slightly slender, and the black and white are distinct in the eyes.

She often thinks: she is the child bride-in-law of the prince's mansion, and will be the daughter-in-law of the second son in the future. Although she sighs her fate, she has to accept her fate.Fortunately, although the Second Young Master is a silent idiot, he is not annoying, just looking at it as a wooden man is considered an eye-catcher.The current Second Young Master, although his movements are still slow, he is much more agile, usually full of idiots.Is this your luck?She was thinking about these things, when she suddenly saw the second young master turning his head to look at her, she couldn't help but blush. [

Seeing Rou'er and himself looking shyly at each other, Gao Yu recalled what "brother" Yuan Ze said about the child's daughter-in-law. Looking at Rou'er's delicate and childish face, Gao Yu's face sank, and he said coldly, "You should rest, I want to be quiet."

When Rou'er saw the expression of the second young master, her heart immediately became knotted. She knew that if the second young master was healthy, she would not marry another girl.Thinking about her nose getting sore, she suppressed her tears and said "yes" in a muffled voice and turned to leave.Gao Yu is not stupid, but there is nothing he can do about it, he still doesn't know the situation right now.

Rou'er just took two steps and suddenly stopped and turned around. She took out an object from her bosom and handed it to Gao Yu. Gao Yu asked in surprise, "Where did this come from?"

Rou'er replied in a low voice, "The second son was rescued after falling into the water, and he kept holding this object in his hand. I saw that the rope on it was broken, so I re-knitted it."

Gao Yu let out a "hmm", instead of looking at Rou'er, he held the crystal and looked at it: This is a piece of black crystal, under the moonlight, the crystal seems to have colorful lights and shadows flowing, the crystal is half the size of a palm, with a thickness of 2-3 centimeters. It feels like a piece of water in the hand, like a half-cut water drop, with a round hole on the thin side.A braided rope is threaded through the hole.

He looked at the black crystal, and suddenly there seemed to be a very bright light in the flowing light and shadow, Gao Yu's heart sank.

In the light, Gao Yu seemed to see some pictures, like a movie, flashed in his mind, those are the pictures he was looking forward to, his wife is gentle and virtuous, and his career is going smoothly.The light gradually dissipated, and Gao Yu saw a group of rescuers pulling a car out of the river.Isn't that your car?Gao Yu felt his heart beating wildly, he looked carefully into the car, and found that the man was himself.

Gao Yu felt his scalp explode, am I dead?In the real society, I am already a dead person, but now my soul has returned to the Song Dynasty.He felt unimaginable.But besides this theory, is there any other possibility?

After a long time, Gao Yu's mood calmed down a little. He held the crystal, which might be the reason why he came here. He carefully recalled the origin of the crystal: about half a month ago, Gao Yu Anhui He was on a business trip to a small county town in his hometown, and after finishing his business, he went to the county town's market to shop for goods.

Gao Yu is a salesperson of a publishing house. In recent years, it has become more and more difficult to produce traditional publications. In addition to traveling to some remote places, he often goes to barren mountainous areas to collect some information.Even in some schools of Project Hope in the old and poor areas, Gao Yu would donate books to help students.

What attracts Gao Yu to these areas is because of his own passion and the possibility of collecting some antiques. Of course, these are just hobbies and fantasies.When he was walking in the noisy market, following the flow of people mixed with the smell of the country and sweat, watching the pots and jars in the market, the curiosity and novelty he once had had long since faded away.

He wanted to be a wanderer more and more, looking at those ancient coins that even he could tell were old, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the people in this place have also learned bad things.

Finally, Gao Yu stopped in front of a booth. The person who attracted Gao Yu to this booth was the old man wearing a straw hat.He neither yelled nor struck up a conversation with anyone who looked at him.He was squatting there, smoking a pipe.

Gao Yu looked at the dry tobacco in his hand: the mouthpiece of the pouch is about two inches long, the pipe is ebony, and the mouthpiece is the light blue texture of jade.First of all, this dry smoke is beautiful, the light blue jade is set against the black smoke pipe, and the curling smoke makes Gao Yu feel like a world away.

Gao Yu knelt down and greeted the old man, "Uncle, do you sell anything?"

The old man looked up at him, took two sharp puffs of the cigarette, then knocked out the shredded tobacco in the cigarette holder with the hem of his shoe, and found that there was indeed no fire inside, and put the cigarette rod into a black leather bag with worn edges on his chest, Then he said calmly: "Sell, why are you here if you don't sell?!"

Seeing him smiling like this, Gao Yu asked, "Uncle, it's your first time to come to the fair, why don't you invite people to watch things?"

The old man said with a worried look: "I have been here several times, but no one bought it. By the way, what do you want to buy?"

Gao Yu was delighted when he heard it, the old man was a novice, he casually flipped through the goods on the stall in front of the old man, they were all stones.I don’t know where the old man got it from. There are all kinds of worthless stones, real and fake, and even pebbles. This makes Gao Yu dumbfounded. The black crystal stone of the fish asked: "How much is this?" [

The old man looked at it and said, "Make a gesture of 1 with your finger." Gao Yu looked at this and asked, "Ten yuan?" , did not pass it to the old man, but asked: "Uncle, do you sell the dry tobacco you just bought?"

The old man touched the leather bag, and seemed extremely reluctant. Gao Yu said, "If you are willing to sell it, you can make a price." He took out the cigarette roll, handed one to the old man and said, "If you sell dry tobacco, it will save you a lot of trouble to smoke this every day."

The old man chuckled and said, "If you like it, then you can give me a price." Gao Yu heard, "I can't negotiate the price, you can tell me, and I will buy it if it suits you."

The old man thought about it: "Anyway, it's cheap, I won't sell it. It's only five hundred!" He stretched out his hand and spread five fingers.Gao Yu concluded that the thing had ideas, and that it was cold enough to sell, and that the broken crystal was worth a hundred, so without hesitation, he took out five more cards of Grandpa Mao, put them together and handed them to the old man.

Seeing that the sale was so happy, the old man took out the dry tobacco from his worn black leather bag and patted it on Gao Yu's hand.Gao Yu put it in his hand and weighed it. It was indeed a good product, but he really didn't feel bad for a few hundred yuan, and it wasn't enough for the fare.He turned around to leave, but the old man grabbed him: "Oh, boy, your stone." He said and stuffed the crystal into Gao Yu's hand.

After all, it cost a hundred yuan. Gao Yu took it and put it in his pocket. When he was about to leave, the old man came to stop him: "Young man, I can't find your stone money. Give me another piece." Gao Yu said, Thinking that the old man wants another dollar, "Uncle, you can give me this stone. Don't ask for a dollar."

"No way..." The old man actually grabbed Gao Yu, just because of one dollar, Gao Yu felt that it would be a bit embarrassing to raise the price again, so he had no choice but to take out one dollar.To his surprise, the old man gave him a piece of one hundred and said, "I will only sell one piece of this stone, no less!"

This time Gao Yu couldn't help but smile even more, he threw all the cigarettes on his body to the old man, and returned to the hotel happily.After returning from a business trip, Gao Yu was going to take the tobacco rod for identification, but he never had time.As for this piece of crystal, Gao Yu knew that even if it was pure natural, it would not be very expensive. My wife often bought some crystal ornaments, since she likes crystal so much, I gave it to her to ease the cold war between the two of them.So in his spare time, Gao Yu found a jewelry store near his work to match with a necklace.

On the day of heavy rain, before he came out of the office, by some strange circumstances, he hung the crystal around his neck and prepared to go home as a gift for his wife.

It rained so hard that day, the road was full of water, and the river overflowed the river.Gao Yu struck up a conversation with the woman and suddenly felt the car jolt violently, and soon he felt the surrounding water rushing towards the car.Both of them panicked and suffocated, the woman grabbed Gao Yu's arm in panic.At that moment, Gao Yu saw that light.

"Second Young Master? Second Young Master? What's wrong with you?" Gao Yu vaguely heard an anxious voice. He opened his eyes and saw Rou'er was wiping the sweat off his forehead. A lot of sweat.But the cold sweat of this surprise made him calm down instead.He was already flustered and irritable, but when he saw Rou'er in front of him, he couldn't bear it anymore.

He brushed away Rou'er's arm who was wiping his sweat, and shouted: "Don't bother me." Rou'er was taken aback by him, the second young master had never yelled at him before, and when she lowered her head, tears dripped down her face. Looking at the clothes, Gao Yu also felt that she had lost her composure towards such a little girl so fiercely, so she said in a slow but cold tone, "You don't need this, you can go."

Rou'er cried and went back to the room, she didn't understand why the second young master suddenly became like this.

Gao Yu calmed down for a while, and he held the crystal in his palm. This is the only thing related to his previous life in his current situation. Could it be related to this crystal?His accident was caused by heavy rain, and he woke up by falling into the water.

What would this crystal look like in water?As he thought about it, he looked around. There was a well in the corner of the courtyard. Gao Yu went to the well, poured water, and poured the water on the crystal. Except for the drops of water on the ground, there was no reflection.Gao Yu was a little disappointed, he sighed, could it be that he still has to wait for a heavy rain?He suddenly thought of that woman, if it was really the power of this crystal, would that woman be the same as him?

Dazed, Gao Yu didn't have a clue, he looked at the quiet courtyard under the moonlight, and looked down at himself in an ancient costume and his long hair hanging down to his chest.

He remembered what the young man said just now: Their father is Wang Anshi, is this Wang Anshi the famous prime minister of the Song Dynasty?And I am no longer Gao Yu, history has given him a new name: Wang Pang!
