The Return of the Reborn King

Chapter 32 Surprise
"Sister, are you sick?" The little girl still had some lingering fears, and she was holding on to the corner of her clothes blankly, a little worried.

"Yeah, my sister is sick, so she is not in good health. Lian Lian needs to listen to the adults more in the future, or she will be as uncomfortable as her sister." She pinched her pink cheeks, half joking, half It's enlightenment, there are still a few red threads in the eyes, and the expression has slowed down a little, and the face is no longer so pale and weak.

"Well, I'm obedient. Sister, you must be obedient in the future. You have to drink the hard medicine to get better quickly." Thinking of the doctor's order to take medicine every time I get sick, I also learned to sell the little things once.It's a pity that there is no bed here, otherwise, she would like to learn from Mommy to help her cover the quilt, and ordered not to kick the quilt randomly.By the looks of it, he is completely a grown-up.

Grantham looked at his sister in amazement, as if looking at an alien.When did this troublemaker become so sensible?Know how to take care of people?
During this period, the old man has not opened his mouth to speak.Yunxi was a little embarrassed. He wanted to say a few words of thanks for causing trouble early in the morning, but when he turned around, he was surprised by what he was holding in his hand. Guang stared at the palm-sized jade inkstone in astonishment, even his expression changed.

Both Grantham and Shui Mulian were attracted by her expression, and turned their heads to see what kind of rare treasure it was.

But it turned out to be just a flat jade the size of a steamed bun, and the color was not black, but rather dark red.

What's so strange about this?
Grantham glanced at the owner curiously, but found that the taciturn old man seemed very satisfied with Yunxi's reaction. He showed a smile, waved his hand, and put the inkstone directly on the side of the table for her to watch.

This is an authentic top-quality blood jade, and Yunxi, who got closer, couldn't help but take a breath.

After the death of her only son, her grandfather left her with only one granddaughter. The teaching of etiquette is not very strict, but the requirements for the appreciation of jade and antiques are extremely strict.It was once said that only by practicing your eyesight can you really not suffer in society.Although she came from a wealthy family and had seen countless ancient stones and jades, it was the first time in her life that she saw such a treasure.

Grantham couldn't see its preciousness, but she understood better than anyone else that this inkstone, which was no bigger than the mouth of a bowl, could be bought directly from the street to the end of the street, and it was more than enough to directly build a commercial building by the way.

"Sister, is this jade very powerful?" The little ghost spirit didn't know how to describe the jade that made Yunxi show such an expression, after thinking about it, he could only use "powerful" instead.

Only then did Yunxi recover from her astonishment. Seeing that the three of them were all staring at her, she was a little embarrassed by her fuss for a while.

However, it was so beautiful, she had never seen such a perfect ancient jade.

She pointed at the inkstone, lowered her head and said slowly to the curious baby, "Lianlian, did your family teach you to read?"

"Yes, I've read all the "Three Character Classics" and "Andersen's Fairy Tales." Although she still can't read all the characters, everyone in the family praised her as the smartest.The little guy raised his nose proudly, looking very proud.

Yunxi smiled: "You are still young, and you may not have read more esoteric books now. But if you grow up in the future, you can read some ancient books appropriately, and you will gain a lot of knowledge." She patted her discouraged cheek and smiled , continued: ""Xijing Miscellaneous Notes" once recorded that 'The Son of Heaven uses jade as inkstone to choose whichever is not ice'. A long time ago, our country had a tradition of treating jade as inkstone. You see, this piece of jade inkstone, jade quality Moisturizing and pleasant, water is the air, ink is the god, the air is blended, and the fragrance of the inkstone is overflowing. There is a recess in the inkstone pool, which is used for licking the pen. The most rare thing is, look, the color of this jade. It is XZ There is a kind of red jade produced in the Xueyu Plateau, called Song of Gongjuema. It is said that Gongjuema is the goddess of Dangreyong Lake. She lives in the square emerald palace at the bottom of Reyong Lake. The four walls of the palace There are different colors, among which red is singing, the song of Gongjuema, which means the singing of Goddess Dangreyong."

The little girl half understood, but Grantham's eyes were twinkling.Although he doesn't know how to appreciate it, he probably understands the value of this jade.

Such a priceless treasure was placed on the table by such an old man as an ordinary commodity for her to play with at will. If there is no deep meaning in it, it is really unbelievable.

But Leng Yunxi didn't seem to notice the weirdness, with a smile on his face, holding the jade inkstone, his eyes were shining, and he turned his head with a faint smile: "Mr., what are you going to do to sell me this piece of jade?"

She didn't ask how much it was, and she didn't ask if there were any other jade inkstones. She seemed to be sure that the old man must have planned to take out this blood jade.

The old man with a snow-white beard didn't answer her, instead he turned around and added some water to the teacup, slowly took out a yellow brocade box, and put the jade inkstone in it.

At this moment, his dark eyes, which were not like the old man's, met Yunxi's directly for the first time.

Bottomless black, impeccable white, she can handle these eyes, whether they are fierce or greedy, but they have no desires or desires, a pair of eyes that are as silent as a vast ocean, from which they can't even feel the slightest emotion. dig.

Looking at each other for a moment, Yunxi lowered his eyes, and took another sip of tea from the white porcelain cup at hand.

"Are you the only daughter of the youngest member of the Leng family?" the old man suddenly said.

She paused, her father, Leng Guoyi, was indeed the third and last member of the Leng family's generation.This man actually knew her father?

"I am. You are?" She was slightly curious.

"You bought this jade inkstone to celebrate the old man's birthday?" The other party did not give her the desire to answer her questions. She looked at the ancient tree outside the window for a moment with deep eyes, as if some emotion spread from her body. It was restored to its original state.

Yunxi suspected that his eyes were dazzled, but just now this person was so illusory that he almost didn't even breathe, and he felt a little strange in his heart, but his mind was still very clear, and he replied honestly: "It's a gift for grandpa. ".

The old man seemed very satisfied with the answer, nodded slightly, then pointed to a plaque half-hidden by the huge shelf, and said with a smile: "Our shop is not open for business on Sundays."

Opening a shop is not for business?Then why is it still open today?
Yunxi, Grantham, including the little girl, the three of them had never heard of such a rule. When they looked up at the plaque, they saw four ancient Chinese characters hanging above their heads: "Enoch Barter."

"What does the old man mean is that you don't sell anything on Sundays, but you can exchange a promise for a piece of jade?" Yunxi looked at the old man who didn't seem to be joking at all, his eyes narrowed slowly, and a treacherous expression appeared. radian.
