Chapter 13: Night Pearl (2)
When foreigners invaded the capital, the Empress Dowager Cixi did not allow the people to fight back against the invaders. Instead, she lowered four phoenix crowns to give to foreigners, begging them to leave the capital.But the great eunuch Li Lianying was not around at that time, so she sent a maid beside her to take Ye Mingzhu to Ximen Hotel and hand it over to Li Lianying's people, but unexpectedly, the maid did not send Ye Mingzhu to Li Lianying, but ran away with Ye Mingzhu .The court lady hid the Ye Mingzhu in a dark compartment in a wooden box, took the wooden box with her and fled all the way to Western Province, where she settled down.Then she married a widower with the help of a matchmaker, and gave birth to a son for him. Until she died, the wooden box was in the hands of his son, but her son didn't know that there was a treasure in the box, so he bought it as a waste Gave it to the hawker.

Seeing this period of history, Su Rui was overjoyed. Ye Mingzhu is a priceless treasure, not to mention there are four of them.

However, Su Rui didn't show anything on her face. Instead, she picked and picked at the stall, then pointed to a jade pendant with a faint purple light and asked the vendor, "Brother, how do you sell this?" Blinking her eyes, she was cute and free.

The peddler saw that there was a business coming, and he immediately smiled, and the speed of changing his face was really fast.

"Oh, my little sister, you have good eyesight. I got this from a big family in the countryside of Xi'an. It is a treasure handed down from their family. There were two high officials in their family ancestors. This is what the magistrate once wore. You If you like it, I'll give you a solid price, how about three thousand, this is something from the Ming Dynasty, three thousand I'll just earn some money for running errands."

"From the Ming Dynasty? Brother, don't lie to me. I just think the implication is good. Immediately make him a Marquis." Su Rui said innocently.

Su Rui didn't put down the jade pendant, but picked up the heart-shaped jade pendant next to her.

"I want both of these jade pendants, brother, please make a price."

"You can't lie to me just because I'm young, be careful I'll let someone beat you." Su Rui petted her and blinked her eyes.

For some reason, the vendor looked at Su Rui with an innocent expression and felt a little cold. It must be an illusion, it must be.Comfort yourself, the peddler said.

"Since you really want it, little sister, just give me 5000 yuan for the two jade pendants. I think we are destined for each other."

"5000 yuan is a bit expensive, and I don't know if these two are real. For 1000 yuan, sell both of them to me."

After hearing that Su Rui had paid back so much, the vendor hurried to speak.

"One thousand is not enough, at least this is the number." The peddler held out four fingers.

Su Rui played with the jade pendant calmly.

"That's one thousand and five, no more, and my mother will scold me if it's more."

"Five thousand is not enough for the price I charged. How about you add more, two thousand, and I'll be friends with you." The peddler gritted his teeth, looking like I was bleeding profusely.

"Two thousand is two thousand, but you can give me this box as a gift. My grandma used to have a box like this, but it was broken, so I just gave it to her." Su Rui looked at the peddler with a smile.

"no problem."

The peddler saw that the box was not worth much, so he agreed with pretending to be heartbroken.

But he was snickering in his heart, this is a prodigal child, he only collected these two jade pendants for a few tens of dollars, and he made more than 1000 in one go.Thinking in his heart, if there are more such ignorant children, he will make a fuss.

But Su Rui didn't have that much money.The only option is to let the peddler follow her to the public phone booth to make calls, and ask Du Yan to send her money. Who told him to be her master's secretary? It's not for nothing.

Soon, Du Yan came and handed over the 2000 yuan that Su Rui ordered to bring to the vendor, and Su Rui picked up the box.

"Take those two jade pendants." After leaving a word, Su Rui walked towards the car first.

Du Yan held two jade pendants in his hand, while Su Rui held the wooden box in his arms, as if holding a porcelain doll.

Du Yan looked at Su Rui's cautious look, and immediately understood that it seemed that this box was what Su Rui wanted. These two jade pendants were just a cover, but he didn't see anything special about that box.

When the peddler saw a man in a suit driving a small sleeper car and bent over Su Rui to call Missy, he really regretted it, regretted not asking for more money.But he couldn't go back on his word, why?Didn't you see that the driver in the car is big and round?I had no choice but to take 2000 yuan and leave.

Su Rui didn't ask Du Yan to take her to the courtyard, but only asked him to put her at the entrance of the village.

"The two jade pendants will be given to you." After finishing speaking, Su Rui got out of the car with the box in her arms.

evening,

On the way back to the courtyard, Su Rui happened to meet Second Aunt Li and Second Uncle Li who were returning home after finishing the farm work.Uncle Li's grandfather, Li Cheng, and Li Fu's grandfather are brothers. The two of them can't be regarded as brothers in Wufu, but Li Fu is selfish and greedy, and Wang Chunhua is a shrew who loves to take advantage of everything. Li Cheng, who is upright, naturally can't see it. Used to them, Second Aunt Li was a straightforward person, and Su Rui's mother was the Chinese teacher of her second son, so she was usually close to Su Rui's family.

When she saw Su Rui, she immediately thought of her parents who had passed away, and there was pity in her eyes.I sighed in my heart, fortunately I was 14 years old, what would I do if I was younger, I heard that I was adopted by the old man in the back mountain, but it must have been taken care of by others, how can I have my own parents.But it was still better than Li Fu's family.Don't think that everyone doesn't know about Li Fu's good plan, even the orphaned girl whose parents died, deserves to go to jail.The more I thought about it, the more pitiful Su Rui became.Second Aunt Li put down the farm tools and said.

"Rui Rui, now that your parents are gone, we can't help much, that is, we can help with some work. When your parents are buried, please come and let us know. Your second uncle and I All to help."

Li Cheng hesitated for a moment, and then said: "When I came home at noon today, I saw Wang Chunhua wandering around the door of your house. You said that your house is also quite remote. Why did she go there? You should pay attention. Don't miss anything and don't know, you are not honest when you say that all the heads of her family have gone in..."

Seeing the sincerity in the eyes of the two of them, Su Rui's face softened.

"Second Aunt, don't worry about me. I was adopted by my master, and now I live in his house. There are no important things in the house. I have taken away my parents' belongings. There are only some daily necessities there."

Su Rui paused and looked to the east.

"I don't intend to bury my parents here. The fallen leaves return to their roots. They have been away from home for too long, so they should go back."

Second Aunt Li was surprised to hear her say that, but felt it was reasonable, after all, their hometown is not here.But didn't it mean that both of them lost their memory?But she didn't ask.Instead, he smiled.
