Chapter 168 confidant 1

The clouds are cloudy day by day, and there is a pitiful beacon smoke in the northwest. Thieves from the east and Hu'er are in front of him.

The storm dissipated, and a young scholar came from afar at the end of the Jeju Plain. The scholar wore a bamboo-leaf green bamboo hat, wearing a white robe, square-toed cloth shoes, white on the top and black on the bottom, dressed appropriately. The black one was cloth shoes, and the white one was the robe, but the robe was amazingly white, far away. Looking far away, I thought it was a waterfall in the deep mountains and valleys.

Young scholars have come all the way.

Walk through the wheat fields, villages, and the streets and alleys of Yuncheng. I stayed in the poor streets and alleys behind the Guanyin Temple.

Three days later, Zhao Ze received a greeting from Ximen Sanzang, the current head of Yuncheng Fuxue Bookstore, saying that he would bring his wife Ajing to your house tomorrow to thank him, as a sign of saving his life that day. This time, the housekeeper sent a plate of Donghai Pearl (referred to as Haizhu) to show his heart, hoping that Zhao Ze could accept it with a smile.

There is no reason not to accept gifts, especially when the other party is sincere. Zhao Ze immediately asked Li Yu to accept the big gift, and then replied with a reply, saying that he was waiting for the car at any time, and the door of Zhao's house would always be open to him.

After receiving the post with both hands, the housekeeper of the Ximen family returned with satisfaction.

Besides, Zhao Ze, since he got the plate of sea beads, he was very happy. He was thinking about how to use these beads, whether to give them away or keep them by himself. After thinking about it, he suddenly had a good idea. After grabbing a handful from the plate of sea beads, he called Chao Fang and asked him to accompany him to the street to see if he could find a living. There is no jewelry maker.

Sure enough, there is really such a great jewelry craftsman, Boss Bian in Yuncheng. Since Liangshan Volunteers came to Yuncheng, the disaster has been eliminated, and there is nothing wrong with autumn. Boss Bian has the courage to walk out of the house and start business to support his family, although almost no one goes to his shop. Buy jewelry, or order it, but as a businessman, a jewelry merchant, he will always get sick when he stays at home, so Boss Bian opens the door to welcome guests. On the one's, in order to kill time, and on the other, he comes to find the feeling that his skills are not so strange and distracted.

Half a month has passed, and no one has come to buy anything. Boss Bian is worried about how to live this life.

Suddenly, a guest came from the sky. The guest was really arrogant. He bought ten taels of silver at a price, saying that he asked him to help make a pearl necklace. The pearl was brought by others. It was full of particles and bright in color. It was really hard to put it after seeing it.

After receiving the money, Boss Bian patted his chest and said confidently, "Sir, please rest assured that our Yuncheng's jewelry belongs to my old Bian's store. Do you want gold or silver thread string pearls?"

The guest said, "Gold line or silver line?" Ah, well, let me think about it." After a moment, the guest suddenly replied, "Yes, let's use two strands of gold and silver thread twisted together. Is that okay?"

Boss Bian is a senior craftsman. Of course, he knows how to make pearl necklaces that are beautiful, elegant and not familiar with it. After thinking about it, he suggested it in a measured manner, "guest officer, please forgive Lao Bian for talking too much. If you want to give it away, you might as well separate them and make two necklaces."

"Two" The guest was worried that "two will not be enough. I mean, those beads are not enough."

"Enough, enough. When the guest took out the beads, I saw a total of 17 beads, one of which is the largest and can be stringed in the most eye-catching part, and the rest are of average size. Please see if it is 17."

The guest lowered his head and counted, and then nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's just seventeen. Okay, please hurry up. I'll give it to you tomorrow."

Boss Bian said, "Don't worry, Mr. Bian, I'm going to start work. I'll do it tomorrow morning. By the way, where do you live? Are you from a foreigner? Lao Bian, I have received a lot of money from you. How about I send it to your residence in person tomorrow morning!"

The guest laughed and said, "Well, it's troublesome for Boss Bian. I'll live in Guanyin Temple. Boss Bian will know that it's Zhao Ze's necklace when you arrive at Guanyin Temple tomorrow morning."

"Okay, don't worry, old Bian knows"

"In this case, I will say goodbye. Thank you, Boss Bian, goodbye, goodbye"

Boss Bian looked at the guest official's fading back and thought to himself, isn't there a Liangshan Volunteers living in the Guanyin Temple? Is this man a Liangshan hero? Well, it's possible, it's possible. If not so, how dare he say that he lives in that temple?

Since it is the pearl that Liangshan's hero grandpa is going to make, I have to show my hand well. I must not ask others to find faults, otherwise the signboard will be smashed. Thinking about this, Boss Bian focused heavily and cheered himself up. He turned back to the shop and was ready to make a pearl necklace.

Time flies, and another day has passed in a blink of an eye.

Bian Liang, the shopkeeper of Bian's old shop, worked hard all night. He was so tired that his eyes were red that he was about to faint. However, he finally survived. After the fifth watch, he stringed two string of pearl necklaces. With the brilliance of the bright moon, he carefully checked it. After making sure that there were no flaws, no cracks and no threads, he was respectfully He put it away and put it in two carved brocade boxes. After taking a nap for an hour, he hurriedly got up and asked the Hun family to cook a bowl of porridge. After drinking it, he picked up the two precious brocade boxes and left home and looked at the Guanyin Temple.

After a stick of incense, Bian Liang came to the Guanyin Temple and saw two burly soldiers guarding in front of the door. He stepped forward a few steps and said, "Hi, two military masters, I'm Bian Liang from Bian's old shop. I'm here to send a pearl necklace to Brother Zhao Ze."

"Bold, how dare the ignorant little old man call the name of the three patriarchs of our family? Brother Hu took him down." One of the soldiers suddenly said angrily.

Brother Hu's surname is Zhang. He is from Chaojia Village. He is extremely tough. He stepped down the steps and grabbed Bian Liang's collar as soon as he stretched out his hand. It can't be said that he had two big mouths, which made Bian Liang's eyes look like a golden star, so that he could hang out of the brocade box.

After being beaten in the mouth by Zhang Hu, Bian Liang begged for mercy and said, "Master of the army, don't fight. The villain knows what's wrong, and the villain knows what's wrong. That, the three masters of Zhao and Zhao called the villain yesterday."

When the man behind Zhang Hu heard that Zhao Ze, the master of the three religion, asked him to come, he immediately stopped Zhang Hu's reckless behavior and said, "Stop, since it's the Lord of the three religion who ordered him to come, let him go first. Brother Hu, watch, I'll go in and pass it all."

Zhang Hu answered naively, "Let's go, cage brother. I'll watch here."

This cage brother, also surnamed Zhang, is Zhang Hu's younger brother. There are paper people and paper lanterns at home. After he turned around and entered the temple, Zhang Hu let go of Bian Liang and blamed him, "Today you met our brother. If others hear you call us the name of the three masters, you have to cut you directly. Be careful in the future. Ah"

Bian Liang was so scared that he kept bowing until the cage came back and asked him to go in. The heart was still in his throat.

In front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there is a grassland where a woman in white is practicing swords. A group of wild cats squatting on the surrounding steps, eaves and grass, squinting and napping, as if watching the woman dance the sword, and she could see her mind.

Even Bian Liang came over without attracting their attention.

However, the woman in white had noticed it for a long time. Before Zhang Cage came close, she jumped over the head of more than a dozen cats, and gently fell on the Shinto. Her wrist shook the tip of the sword and drew a beautiful sword flower in the air and put it into the sheath.

"Zhang Long, the three masters haven't got up yet. Give them to me," said the woman in white.

"This?" Zhang Yong said, "Madam, the master said that he wouldn't let the little one give it to you, and he would give it to you directly."

This woman in white is Shangguan Mei. It is a habit for her to get up early and dance the sword every day. After getting up early this morning, I found that the people around me looked strange and couldn't help but be suspicious, so I stopped Zhang Cing from asking questions.

"If you give it to my wife, it's equivalent to giving it to the master. Take it." Shangguan Mei stretched out her hand and looked up at his wife's color. He didn't dare to disothe. He quickly stared at Bian Liang, "Give the box to your wife."

Bian Liang is an old man. At a glance, he knew who was in charge here. He immediately stepped forward, bowed his head and presented the brocade box, and deliberately replied in a loud voice, "Bian Liang, the villain Bian's old shop, came to send a necklace to his wife today. Please have a look!"

"Oh, for me?" Shangguan Mei reached out and took a brocade box and opened it. She was overjoyed and immediately understood what was going on. She quickly closed the brocade box and said, "Okay, I know. Sorry to trouble you, Zhang Cing, wait for me and I'll call up the master. By the way, don't say that I've seen the inside of the box!"

After saying that, he took a light step and looked at the wing room on one side.

After Shangguan Mei returned to her room, Zhang Cing coughed and reminded Bian Liang, "I heard the lady's instructions, don't spill the beans, or you will suffer."

Bian Liang is not stupid. He understood the reason of being persuaded to have a full meal. He nodded quickly and said yes.

The mystery of the brocade box was revealed little by little after Zhao Ze got up.

First, Bian Liang presented the brocade box containing pearls with his hands at the stone table in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and then Zhao Ze gave the brocade box to Shangguan Mei in front of everyone. Shangguan Mei opened the box happily and put on the string of silver threaded pearls. He said happily, "The master is very kind to me"

Zhao Ze said, "It's good that you know. Get married with me early."

Shangguan Mei said, "You're so beautiful. Well, aren't you going to meet the owner of Ximen today? Hurry up and get ready."
