Part One: Penghu Chapter 29 Jewelry

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When I came to Lanyue Pavilion again, I was already considered a "regular customer".

    Thinking that Han Xiaoxiao had already explained it, the boss of Lanyue Pavilion came out to greet him personally and brought Ding Yunyi, Qin Yun, and Xie Xuan to the second floor in person.

    Han Xiaoxiao and a middle-aged businessman had been waiting there. When Ding Yunyi arrived, Han Xiaoxiao stood up, smiled slightly, and introduced the two parties.

    This middle-aged businessman is called Sun Xiyu, a Fujian jewelry merchant. It is said that when Zheng Zhilong was a pirate, he relied on him to sell some jewelry that was difficult to sell.

    Sun Xiyu is a standard businessman. After a few pleasantries with Ding Yunyi, he asked him to take out all the jewelry.

    Ding Yunyi took out the jewelry he was carrying. Sun Xiyu suddenly seemed to be a different person. His smile disappeared. He picked up the jewelry and inspected them carefully one by one.

    Those fakes and worthless items were all carefully selected by Sun Xiyu and put aside.

    Taking advantage of this moment, Ding Yunyi introduced Qin Yun and Xie Xuan to Han Xiaoxiao.  Qin Yun and Xie Xuan were very excited, as if the star-chasers of Ding Yunyi's era had seen the big star in their minds.

    Actually, it¡¯s not wrong if you think about it carefully. Han Xiaoxiao is indeed a big star of this era.

    Han Xiaoxiao responded lightly and seemed to be more interested in Ding Yunyi. When asked when he would leave Quanzhou and return to Penghu, Ding Yunyi only said that he would leave after finishing some things in his hands.

    "If Mr. Ding has something to do in the future, just send someone to find me. I will probably stay in Quanzhou for a long time." Han Xiaoxiao's expression was not perfunctory at all: "It is bitterly cold in Penghu, Inspector Ding, please take care of yourself.  ¡±

    "Thank you, Miss Han." Ding Yunyi replied.

    The few chatted for a while, and Sun Xiyu over there had already inspected the jewelry one by one and raised his head: "Some of Master Ding's items are excellent, and some are not worth much. I will open them for Master Ding."  The total price is eight hundred taels."

    Ding Yunyi doesn¡¯t have much idea about silver. He only remembers what he saw in movies and TV series in the past. Those rich people could easily spend tens of thousands of taels of silver. But when it comes to him, how much does eight hundred taels count?

    This is already a high price offered by Sun Xiyu for Han Xiaoxiao's sake.  Premium pork costs six cents a penny, rice costs five cents a stone, and eight hundred taels of silver. A peasant family in the south would have to go without food or drink for thirty years to save up.

    Han Xiaoxiao was not satisfied after hearing this: "Mr. Sun has a lot of money and a wide range of contacts. Wouldn't it be nice to give Xiaoxiao a round number of one thousand taels?"

    If someone else had asked Han Xiaoxiao to plead, he would have already agreed, but Sun Xiyu shook his head repeatedly: "Miss Han, Sun is a businessman. Even if he could sell these things, the profit would only be two to three hundred taels.  We have to deduct various expenses, and eight hundred taels is already a large amount. Please don¡¯t embarrass me, Miss Han.¡±

    Ding Yunyi was already very satisfied: "Since Mr. Sun is only willing to pay 800 taels, then let's go with 800 taels."

    Han Xiaoxiao glanced at Ding Yunyi slightly reproachfully, but there was nothing he could do.  He got up and went to take out a box from the cabinet next to him, opened it and put it in front of Sun Xiyu: "Mr. Sun, these are small jewelry. Mr. Sun, are they worth two hundred taels of silver?"

    "Miss Han, you must not do this." Ding Yunyi said quickly: "How can you use Miss Han's private room?"

    ?? Han Xiaoxiao smiled: "Master Ding came here for the officers and soldiers on Penghu. I didn't bring a small piece of jewelry with me whether I was alive or dead. Please don't refuse, Master Ding."

    Qin Yun and Xie Xuan looked at each other. Han Xiaoxiao's chivalrous spirit and courage were not something everyone could have.

    Sun Xiyu sighed: "I have long heard that Miss Han is as courageous as any other man, and today I saw her reputation is well-deserved. Well, I won't read any of this, so I'll just give it to you for two hundred taels of silver!"

    At this point, Ding Yunyi didn¡¯t know what to say.  It was just the first time that he and Han Xiaoxiao had met, but Han Xiaoxiao was so loyal, and he didn't know how to repay this love.

    It was agreed at that moment that Sun Xiyu would take away the jewelry first, and then send the silver to Ding Yunyi¡¯s inn in the afternoon.

    As soon as Sun Xiyu left, Xie Xuan was full of praise: "Needless to say Miss Han's chivalry, although Sun Xiyu is a businessman, she is also loyal. Xie Xuan is also a small businessman, but he is not as good as the two of them.  It's far away. Inspector Ding came here for Penghu supplies. Xie Xuan has some friendship with the ground officials in Quanzhou. If Inspector Ding can trust me, leave this matter to me!  The supplies will be sent to Penghu within a month!¡±

    Ding Yunyi was overjoyed when he heard this. This trip to Quanzhou was well worth it.  Not only did she recognize Han Xiaoxiao, a prostitute, but she also made a good friend like Xie Xuan.

    The momentHe thanked her loudly, thinking that Xie Xuan would definitely have to do things up and down, as there were many places to use money. He was about to say that when Sun Xiyu's money arrived, he would allocate part of it, but he didn't want to say this before he said it. Xie Xuan was already laughing  road:

    "Does Inspector Ding look down on me? Although Xie Xuan is a businessman, he has read a lot before, and he still knows some righteousness. Penghu is in a critical situation, and Inspector Ding has a heavy responsibility. I can't be rich, but I can still get it with a little money.  Come out, Inspector Ding, please stop worrying about this."

    The other party¡¯s words have reached this point, and Ding Yunyi can no longer insist.

    Han Xiaoxiao was in high spirits and asked people to prepare wine and food, insisting on letting them eat here before leaving.  Ding Yunyi and the other three were also polite.

    When the food and drinks came, Ding Yunyi took a glass of wine and made a pun: "Ding Yunyi first came here, and he was born in a sparse place. He didn't have any friends at first, but now he has three good friends like you, and he feels a lot of emotion in his heart."  Without further ado, I¡¯d like to toast three people with this glass of wine!¡±

    After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

    Han Xiaoxiao and the other three also picked up their wine glasses and drank. Han Xiaoxiao put down his glasses and said with a smile, "How can there be no joy with wine? Han Xiaoxiao is willing to offer a song to help the wine."

    Ding Yunyi was fine, but Qin Yun and Xie Xuan were overjoyed.  Han Xiaoxiao was going to play for them alone. When word spread, his face was very bright.

    Han Xiaoxiao brought the pipa and sang a song called "Shaolin Guanwu" by Cheng Shao:

    "Take a short break to recruit and test the monks. The skills of the metal sword and the iron rod are level-by-level. The strong will win and the magic will be subdued. The habit is to defeat the tiger with ease. Determine the chaos, implement the true results, protect the country and the world, and pass on the light. No worries in the middle of the sky,  Zhongyi Vairocana performs Mahayana."

    "Being strong will bring down the magic power, but if you get used to it, you can beat the tiger with light force."

    After singing the song, Ding Yunyi murmured, suddenly laughed "haha", and stood up: "Miss Han, what a strong person can conquer the magic, and is used to taking advantage of the tiger's strength. Ding Yunyi went first, if one day Han  If the girl can come to Penghu, Ding Yunyi will definitely show his kindness as a landlord and let Miss Han see with her own eyes how our officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in Penghu slay dragons and tigers!"
