Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 386 The Lu family’s guest 1
As soon as Ye Qiongdan put the selected rough stone on the counter, a group of people squeezed over and stretched their necks scramblingly, as if they had suffered a big loss by taking a late look.

Although many of them were not connoisseurs and couldn't tell whether the stone Ye Qiongdan had selected was good or bad, they still nodded in admiration and pretended to understand.

The clerk took the rough stone and weighed it, then glanced at the shopkeeper, who gave him a wink, and he immediately said, "Miss Ye is a distinguished customer, and this stone is [-]% off."

"Why is this so embarrassing?" Ye Qiongdan said.

"If you come here often in the future, you'll be soliciting customers for us. It's too late for us to thank you." The shopkeeper said hastily with a flattering smile.

Ye Qiongdan paid the price according to the price quoted by the buddy, and then under the watchful eyes of everyone, he controlled the strength in his body, turning the skin of the stone into a piece of powder, which fell one after another.

After the skin of the stone was wiped off, a crystal clear red inside was revealed.

Red jadeite is not uncommon in the market, but extreme grade red jadeite is rare. If this thing is sold in the market, it is also a rare treasure.

Now everyone no longer suspects that she is a blind cat who met a dead mouse, and just thinks that God has rewarded her with this bowl of rice, so every stone she chooses can produce emeralds.

Everyone was amazed again, and walked out from here around her.

After Ye Qiongdan left here, he went to a shop next door that sold rough jadeite. He chose a rough jadeite from it, and finally got a good jadeite.

Today, she harvested four pieces of high-quality jadeite, one of which was given to Xiao Qingzhu.

It took less than half an hour before and after. It is not an exaggeration to say that she got rich in one day.

After seeing her specialness, the three elders were deeply moved.

Mr. Zhang sighed, and said sincerely: "Now, I am convinced. You are indeed a little girl, and you are really a strange person. Don't worry, my Zhang family will definitely open to you in the future Convenient door."

"My Luo family is too." Mr. Luo said.

"Of course my Lu family does too," Mr. Lu nodded, "Miss Ye, I asked my grandson to tell you before that I would like to invite you to my house as a guest. Do you have time tomorrow?"

"I don't have anything important to do tomorrow afternoon. I don't know if it's convenient for the old man." Ye Qiongdan said very politely, assuming a junior attitude.

"I'm already half-into the coffin. How can there be so many troublesome things on weekdays? Naturally, I'll be free tomorrow afternoon. After noon, I'll send someone to pick you up in the Huo family's compound."

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Lu for his kindness." Ye Qiongdan cupped his hands at him.

"Old Lu, then I will have to rely on you for dinner tomorrow." Mr. Luo said immediately.

"How can I miss this kind of thing? The mutton soup made by your cook is delicious. You asked him to prepare such a big bowl tomorrow night." Mr. Zhang continued.

"You are quite old, and you still dare to drink so much mutton soup without fear of spoiling your stomach?" Mr. Lu laughed.

"What's the matter? I can still use two bowls of rice on weekdays. You are getting old day by day, but I am still in glory." Mr. Zhang said unconvinced, blowing his beard and staring.

After the matter was settled, Ye Qiongdan bid them farewell politely.

Ye Qiongdan sat in the carriage on the return journey, looked at Xiao Qingzhu who was holding the box and didn't let go, couldn't help but smiled and said: "Why are you holding on to it? Don't you think such a heavy thing is too heavy? Besides, you have traveled all over the world these years , What treasure haven’t been obtained before? How rare is a single emerald today?”

"Can this be the same? I used to take it for myself, but today I earn it by my ability," Xiao Qingzhu would not admit that this piece of emerald has special meaning to him. "What work do you have next time? You can also find me, anyway, you know where I live, don't worry, I will give you a cheaper price because you are an old customer."

"This time the situation is special, how can I need your help every day?"

"Hey, are we friends?" Xiao Qingzhu asked sullenly.

"You say yes, that is." Ye Qiongdan nodded, anyway, there are many friends and many paths.

Xiao Qingzhu felt that her words were insincere, but she didn't refute anything. Instead, she followed her words and said: "The martial arts conference is about to start, do you want to go and see it with me?"

"The sweet-scented osmanthus banquet has just ended, and the martial arts conference is about to begin?" Ye Qiongdan was a little surprised.

"This year, the Hanshan faction set off a bloody storm in the entire martial arts world, so the five-year martial arts conference was held half a year earlier. All the sects wanted to elect a new martial arts leader to lead them The arrogant Hanshan faction has been wiped out." Xiao Qingzhu explained.

"I see." Ye Qiongdan's heart became heavy. This Blood Moon Sect is really harmful. In time, after the Hanshan Sect proves her innocence, she must uproot the Blood Moon Sect.

"Then are you free then?" Xiao Qingzhu asked with some expectation.

"No time." At that time, she will definitely go to the martial arts conference with Ye Qinghan.

"I didn't say when, but you just said that you don't have time. You have the nerve to say that we are already friends. Why do you talk like this..." So hypocritical?Xiao Qingzhu was angry, but he didn't say the last two words.

He opened the curtain of the carriage, and even though the carriage was moving, he jumped down resolutely.

When Ye Qiongdan opened the curtain of the car, he found that he had disappeared into the crowd on the street.

Ye Qiongdan sighed, wondering why he was angry again.

It seems that I didn't say anything too much?

They don't have a deep friendship with each other, so is it necessary to make an appointment to go to the martial arts conference together?
She asked the coachman to go back to the house where Mrs. Huo lived temporarily. She saw that Mrs. Huo was fine and could walk around in the ground. Although she was a little uncomfortable going to the kitchen to heat porridge, it was not a problem to keep herself from starving to death. Take it easy.

After that, she went back to the Huo family compound.

Today's Huo family compound is still full of turmoil, the vegetation is full of soldiers, and everyone's face is filled with a layer of nervousness.

Mrs. Huo has no time to take care of Ye Qiongdan who still lives in the Huo family's compound. Master Huo burst into a fury when he learned of the old lady's disappearance. He thought that Mrs. Huo, who managed the entire Huo family, was to blame.

Mrs. Huo is duty-bound, and the two of them are now grasshoppers on the same rope. If Mrs. Huo makes something wrong, then it will be a big deal.

At this time, Mrs. Huo's thinking went into a misunderstanding, but she didn't expect that the leader of all this would be Ye Qiongdan.

In her opinion, she is the leader of this conspiracy, and Ye Qiongdan has been in an ignorant and passive situation, but at this time, by some shit luck, she escaped.

It can be said that Mrs. Huo wanted to plot against Ye Qiongdan and let her be killed, but now she is stealing chickens and losing money, which is her own fault.

After Ye Qiongdan went back, she pretended to be out of the incident and went to Mrs. Huo's house to visit her.

Mrs. Huo was physically and mentally exhausted at this time, but she still cheered up and received her.

Ye Qiongdan went into the room and took a look, and found that in just two days, Mrs. Huo had already haggarded a lot, the black eyes were clearly visible, and her lips were also a little chapped.

"Did Mrs. Huo not rest last night? Why did you look a little tired? Do you want me to check your pulse?" Ye Qiongdan showed a concerned look.

"Madam Ben is fine, it's just that the weather is too hot and I have lost my appetite." Madam Huo waved her hand weakly.

"May I ask if the old lady is in a better mood today? Can you let me check her pulse?"

When Ye Qiongdan asked, Mrs. Huo's face immediately darkened. As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener does.

When Mrs. Huo thought that she hadn't found that dead old woman until now, her liver hurt a little with anger.

She said angrily: "The few lowly servants who served her were disobedient, and they pissed off Mrs. Huo early this morning. She doesn't want to see outsiders now, so you should go back."

"Yes, then I won't go back. I'll go to Mrs. Huo's yard tomorrow morning." Ye Qiongdan said this deliberately, which made Mrs. Huo feel even more worried.

"No need, the old lady doesn't like outsiders to disturb her. When she wants to see you, I'll take you to see her. Until then, you can live in the Huo family compound with peace of mind," he said Mrs. Huo glanced at the maid beside her, "Die Cui, take Miss Ye back."

"Yes."

Mrs. Huo closed her eyes, only thinking that after seeing Ye Qiongdan.Today's mood fell into a deeper trough.

Ye Qiongdan lowered his head, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Soon, she put away her smile, followed Diecui, and walked out of the yard.

The next morning, Ye Qiongdan went to Washi to buy some vegetables and meat as usual, went to Mrs. Huo's and cooked a pot of porridge for her.

While she was making porridge, she found Xiao Qingzhu had come again, but she just hid in the tree, glanced at her secretly, then sighed, and left again.

Ye Qiongdan felt that he was really baffled, so he didn't take this matter to heart.

She boiled a pot of boiling water for Mrs. Huo, let it cool for her, and brought it to Mrs. Huo's temporary room, then left the house and returned to the Huo family compound.

Ye Qiongdan took a nap after lunch in the Huo family's compound, and then heard the maid report that Mr. Lu invited her to his house as a guest.

Ye Qiongdan readily agreed, and followed the maid to the gate of Huo's compound, and got into the carriage that Lu's came to pick her up.

The sound of horseshoes soon sounded, and the carriage drove her slowly towards Lu's house.

After arriving at Lu's house, she got out of the carriage, and the housekeeper of Lu's house came up to greet her personally, and said to her: "Miss Ye, you are here, some old men are waiting for you in the gazebo in the garden, please follow me .”

Ye Qiongdan nodded and followed the butler forward.

Although the Lu family is an aristocratic family in the north, this house was built with the atmosphere of a northern house and the elegance of a southern house. The courtyard is full of picturesque scenery, even in midsummer, it is cool and refreshing .

After a while, Ye Qiongdan followed the housekeeper to the entrance of the garden, and several children ran towards her, and one of them bumped into her.

"I'm sorry." The child who bumped into her quickly took a step back, apologizing earnestly, with a look of trepidation, as if he was afraid of being scolded by an adult for being immodest, that little adult look was a bit cute.

"It's okay," Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly, "Did you fall?"

"No." The child shook his head, blushing a little, and seemed a little nervous because he saw a stranger.

Several other children surrounded him, all lowering their heads nervously.

"This is the great-grandson of several old men, and they came to visit Lu's house with them today." The butler at the side explained.

"They are so cute." Ye Qiongdan exclaimed.

The children suddenly became less nervous, and one of them quietly raised his head and looked at her with curiosity in his eyes.
