"Princess, may I ask how you got this thing by chance?"
Yang Zhen couldn't pretend to be completely ignorant about this thing, so he asked.
"This is the property of the Hua family. It was given to me as a gift to Dr. Xu. Now that I have come to the 'Zhuo Yu Pavilion', I expect that if you are of this level, you will also have an idea of the value of the jade, right? That's why I ask."
Nanzi pulled out the small sword and pulled out a hairspring from the silk ribbon tied around his waist. He tried to cut it back and forth intentionally or unintentionally to test the sharpness. Soon the small piece of silk broke in response to the movement.
"I didn't expect that there is a universe inside this thing. It is really a rare thing!"
Nanzi inserted the small sword back, and it returned to an ordinary black jade hairpin from the outside.
"This object has some connection with me. When I was a child, I saw an identical mysterious jade hairpin in my father's home. Moreover, as soon as this object appeared, my father would suddenly disappear for some time. Accordingly. I am here to estimate the value of this thing unless it is bought and sold by merchants."
Yang Zhen stared at the mysterious jade hairpin that Nanzi was playing with, and seemed to feel something.
"In this case, since I want to be a beautiful adult, I will give you this mysterious jade hairpin as a gift to your father. Can you offend me?"
Nanzi was happy to be a "favor". For her, there were countless jade ornaments, and she didn't care about the length of this one. It's just that for this "brother Zhao", I habitually want to find a reason to get closer to him.
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate! No reward will be given for no merit, and our royal family are not people who are greedy for other people's property. I am grateful for the princess's kindness. I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of my father. I am sincere!"
Yang Zhen didn't want to lose this person, although deep down in his heart, he wanted to accept him.
"Hey! A sword is given to a hero. Besides, there is indeed a 'sword' in the mysterious jade hairpin. General Zhao naturally deserves the word 'hero'. Don't refuse any more! We have a chance meeting today. It can be regarded as a meeting gift, right?" Respect! There is no need to worry about calling brother, I have no other intentions, I am just expressing my feelings slightly! Please accept it!"
Nanzi once again pointed the tip of the mysterious jade hairpin towards himself and handed it to Yang Zhen.
"So, thank you princess!"
Yang Zhen bowed his head in salute, took it with both hands, and accepted this mysterious jade hairpin that might have some special meaning to his father.
"I didn't bring any gifts with me today, and I owe the princess a favor. I'll make up for it later!"
After all, "it's disrespectful to come back without reciprocating." Yang Zhen also understood this truth, but he was really unprepared and had to make a "blank check" first.
"There is no need to repay the gift, I really don't lack any rare items! If I have the opportunity, I can pay homage to Brother Zhao again, I will be very satisfied!"
"You have the heart! Please forgive me for taking my leave first."
Yang Zhen bowed and exited the sedan, fell back to the ground, and returned to his horse.
At this time, the young man had been waiting in front of the car for some time, holding a new piece of jade prepared for "Mr. Nan".
"Mr. Nan, the goods have arrived, please inspect them!"
The young man first stepped aside and waited for Yang Zhen to pass by; then he chanted to Nanzi.
"Come in!"
"Here!"
The young man was ordered to carry the jade box and get into the car.
The maid had already opened the sedan curtain for him and motioned for him to enter.
This time, the young man did not wear a half-veil, nor did he wear the usual "work clothes". He was dressed in a sophisticated dress with sleeves. This was the first time Nanzi saw a young man with a different style.
The young man handed over the jade box, lowered his head, held it up with both hands, and waited for Nanzi to "inspect the goods."
"Open it for me yourself so that I can explain and test it."
Nanzi deliberately refused to answer, but asked him to do the action.
"Here!"
The young man opened the jade box, revealing a pair of jade bracelets that were as white as suet and as pure as clouds. He presented them to Nanzi and said:
"This jade material was selected and hidden deep in Kunlun Mountain, the 'ancestor of mountains'. After experiencing the vicissitudes of the world, wind, frost, rain and snow, the original stone broke out of the mountain and was exposed between the sky and the earth. After passing through the inside and outside, the jade pieces collapsed in the mountain stream. After being rolled and polished by the river, the rough edges and corners of the original stone are lost, rounded and improved, and the defects of the surrounding rock are also washed away. The original stone is like pebbles, warm and lustrous, which is the soul of beautiful jade.
The princess can take a look: the skin is slightly transparent, fat and very shiny. If you hold it with your hands for a moment, you will see that it "sweats" and has a natural color. It has been washed and polished by the river for thousands of years, and it has been naturally exposed to the elements, and the cracks have penetrated deep into the texture. The skin color changes from deep to light, and the color on the cracks goes from light to dark. This skin color is purely natural, pleasing to the eye without being an eyesore, and the longer the color lasts, the more harmonious it becomes. "
Nanzi was surprised: on the one hand, he was a young man who showed his heroic spirit, which was completely different from the elegant style he wore in the long gown before; on the other hand, the explanation of this jade was more in-depth than what he had said before.
"Oh, how long does 'longer' mean? Will I be able to see you in my lifetime?"
Nanzi joked deliberately.
"Nan Xian—Princess Nanzi—has a body of gold and a long life, so naturally she can get it!"
The young man was not particularly surprised that "Mr. Nan" became "Princess Nanzi". He answered smoothly, neither humble nor arrogant, and still held the jade dowry high.
"If I want you to stay with me and accompany me to verify the arrival of this day, will you be willing?"
Nanzi finally revealed the ultimate goal of this trip.
"Thank you Princess Nanzi for your wrong love! I am of low status and cannot be used for anything. Now I am about to leave the guard with the Lord to go to Tan. This is the last time to come here for inspection, so that I can get the remaining goods purchased by Princess Nanzi."
The young man still held up the jade dowry, but this time he raised his face, his starry eyes staring at Nanzi's bead curtain hanging half of the curtain.
He knew that Nanzi's eyes were carefully looking up and down at him today through the fine beading seams; he had long been used to being stared at like a "nymphomaniac", and You can do it yourself, expressionless.
"I wonder why you don't like Weiguo? How can the small Tan Kingdom be compared to the greatness of Weiguo today?"
"I was born in poverty and humbleness, and I don't know which country is strong or which country is weak; but I only control the good and the evil. Now my master, the master of Zhuoyu Pavilion, wants to go where I want to go, not where I am. ‘Strength and weakness’ can be derived.”
The young man once again expressed his intention, slowly placed the jade box on the bottom of the sedan chair, then bowed his hands again and said:
"Farewell!"
Just when Nanzi was about to say something like "save to stay", the young man backed away and jumped out of Nanzi's car, walking towards Zhiyu's car without looking back.
"Why?!"
Although Nanzi was a little annoyed at being rejected, there was no reason to hold him back.
Yang Zhen had already mounted the white horse and was just waiting for the young man to "arrive at his post".
For the first time, the young man became Zhiyu's coachman, waving his riding whip, and just waiting for Yang Zhen to lead the way, he set off immediately.
Nanzi's motorcade was relatively long, and it blocked the direction they were going from, leaving no "breakthrough".
