Xiaoxiao tugged on Ding Kui's sleeves and said: "Blue diamonds are generally divided into two types, one is the 'deep sea dust-removing diamond' and the other is the 'salt lake dust-removing diamond'.??
?Bi Quge ”
Hearing this, the girl's eyes showed disdain.
"Because the 'Salt Lake Dust Diamond' is lighter in color, this diamond is darker in color and looks like a 'Deep Sea Dust Diamond'. However," Xiao Xiao changed the topic, "This diamond is slightly smaller than the cap of your thumb.
Bigger, the 'Deep Sea Dust Diamond' has never produced a diamond that big. The mother diamond of the 'Salt Lake Dust Diamond' is that big, and the color is also so deep, so this diamond should be the 'Salt Lake Dust Diamond'
', it's a 'Salt Lake dust-removing mother diamond' that only exists in a mine."
Xiaoxiao is a maid trained by the Jiang family since childhood. Taking care of the mistress's jewelry is a compulsory course. Her vision is higher than that of everyone present.
The shopkeeper of Zhao's jewelry store nodded repeatedly behind the counter and said in admiration: "I didn't expect that this girl is young but has extraordinary knowledge. The blue diamond on this hairpin is the 'Salt Lake Dust-free Mother Diamond'."
Ding Kui was happy and said, "That's right. She is my personal maid. No ordinary person can match her knowledge." After saying this, he gave the girl in the green skirt a special look.
"Young lady, you are so awesome. Brother Big Head, I want this hairpin." Lu Ying widened his tearful eyes and looked at Ding Kui pleadingly.
The girl in the green skirt turned red with anger at Ding Kui's words and refused to show weakness: "No matter what kind of diamond it is, you country folk can't afford it."
Although the clothes of Ding Kui and his group are not bad, in the eyes of the girl, they are old-fashioned styles that only aristocratic families in small towns would wear.
"Shopkeeper, how much does this hairpin cost?" Ding Kui was too lazy to talk to the girl in the green skirt.
"Master, this hairpin is a treasure of our store, worth ten thousand gold coins."
The girl in the green skirt snorted proudly beside her. She thought the price would scare Ding Kui out of his wits.
In this world, one copper plate is equivalent to one yuan, one hundred copper plates are equal to one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins are equal to one gold coin. Ten thousand gold coins are equal to 100 million yuan. Jewelry worth 100 million yuan is very rare in the county.
.
Ding Kui smiled slightly. The price was about the same as he thought. There was enough money in the space ring he was wearing, but it was just inconvenient to take it out.
He took out his belt card and put it on the counter, and said to the shopkeeper: "I am the son of the Protector of the Country, Ding Kui, the Right Protector of the Internal Security Department. I want this hairpin. You can wrap it up and I will ask the steward to bring the money later."
Come and get it.”
The guard next to the girl in the green skirt shrank his pupils after hearing Ding Kui introduce himself, and quickly signaled to his lady not to cause trouble again.
The shopkeeper of Zhao's jewelry store glanced at the waistband on the counter with a smile on his face. He pushed the waistband to Ding Kui's side with both hands and said, "Your Majesty's grand visit here will make our store shine. Thank you for your kindness."
The prince tells me, where are you staying? I will send this hairpin to you immediately, without bothering your housekeeper to make an extra trip."
At this time, the girl in the green skirt knew that her beloved hairpin had belonged to Ding Kui, and her family background was not as good as Ding Kui's. She stamped her feet in desperation, turned around and left.
Ding Kui was very satisfied with the shopkeeper's attitude and asked Ding Cai to tell the shopkeeper his address. He took Lu Ying and left the jewelry store.
Ding Kui and his party continued to stroll along the East Street. When they were tired, they went to a restaurant to sit down and have dinner. Before they finished eating, the housekeeper Ding Kun came over with a jewelry box.
The shopkeeper of Zhao's jewelry store came to the post house and found Ding Kun. After Ding Kun asked which jewelry store it was, he took the shopkeeper to the bank and paid 10,000 gold coins.
Ten thousand gold coins in cash would be such a big box that even a few big men might not be able to lift it.
It is impossible for Ding Kun to carry so many gold coins with him, but he has a gold coin card from Shaodianguo Bank, and every year after receiving his annual salary, he will deposit some gold coins into the card.
The steward came to Ding Kui to confirm whether the hairpin worth 10,000 gold coins was purchased by his young master. Such a large expenditure is not a trivial matter. Only by verifying it can the steward feel at ease.
Ding Kui picked up the hairpin and inserted it into Lu Ying's head. Lu Ying smiled happily and kept praising "Brother Ding Kui is a good person".
The housekeeper felt relieved and simply stopped going back to the inn. He stayed to have dinner with Ding Kui and the others. On the other hand, he was also worried that Ding Kui would buy some expensive things and not have enough money to pay for them.
After nightfall, because it is the end of the year and closer to New Year's Eve, the shops in Pingzhong County hang up last year's lanterns. They will dismantle these old lanterns on New Year's Eve this year and make a completely different one.
new lanterns.
There are gradually more pedestrians on the street. Some people who were not in the county to celebrate the New Year on New Year's Eve came out to see last year's lanterns. They can't see the lanterns this year's New Year's Eve and will have to wait until this time tomorrow to see them.
Lu Ying, who had a hairpin on his head, was very pleased with himself, pulling Xiaoxiao to point at the lanterns on the roadside, laughing like silver bells from time to time.
Lu Ying didn't know that the sparkling hairpin on his head had attracted the attention of a group of people. An expensive-looking hairpin was inserted into the head of a seven or eight-year-old girl, making people salivate.
A fifteen-year-old boy wearing gray coarse linen clothes was walking on the street, weaving in and out among the crowds of pedestrians. He seemed to have lost control of his feet and bumped into a burly man.
The big man who was hit looked dissatisfied and stretched out his hand to push the boy. The boy became even more unsteady and staggered towards Lu Ying, who was looking up at the light.
"Be careful!" A childish voice reminded Ding Cai, who was also looking at the light. Ding Cai quickly grabbed the young man's shoulders. Lu Ying shrank her neck in shock and hugged her small arms tightly.
Ding Cai, who has been in the world for many years, can naturally see what happened, and he can't help but feel angry. A little kid is actually trying to steal the hairpin that the young master just gave to Miss Lu Ying. What if he succeeds?
Tell the young master.
The more Ding Cai thought about it, the angrier he became. He squeezed the young man's shoulder bones with force with his five fingers and made a creaking sound.
The young man was caught, and when he was thinking about how to escape, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and immediately shouted: "Kill someone, someone wants to kill someone!"
The young man's cry alarmed the passers-by on the street. Passers-by looked at the young man and Ding Cai one after another, and even more troublemakers gathered around him. Some people in the crowd shouted, "How can you, an adult, bully a child?" "Why are you holding this child?"
"Someone is killing someone, please come and see"
Ding Cai didn't expect the young man to come back, so he let go of the young man. Xiaoxiao saw that the crowd was surging and the scene was a little out of control, so he pulled Lu Ying towards Ding Kui.
The boy waited for Ding Cai to let go and immediately hid in the crowd. The burly man and a few people surrounded Ding Cai, accusing him of committing murder and beating people in the street, and wanted to take him to the city lord's mansion. Some onlookers didn't know what happened.
Encouraged by the people around him, they all started to criticize Ding Cai.
Just when people's emotions were gradually rising, a strong and cold murderous aura rushed towards the crowd of onlookers. Every passerby felt a chill in his heart, his heartbeat skipped half a beat, and a strong sense of fear flowed from the bottom of his heart.
Ding Kui, the housekeeper, and their personal guards stood behind Ding Cai. The people who were attacked by the murderous spirit retreated one after another, and some of the timid ones even turned around and ran away.
The people surrounding Ding Cai took several steps back and uttered harsh words such as "Don't let me see you again in the future." The burly man and several people quickly fled away.
After the crowd dispersed, Ding Kui turned to look at the roadside. He saw an eight-nine-year-old child with ragged clothes and unkempt hair. His cotton-padded jacket had several big holes in it, and some of the holes exposed his skin. He was holding a hand in his thin hand. The broken bowl turned out to be a little beggar.
Now that someone was paying attention to him, the little beggar quickly turned around and ran into a small alley. Several figures followed him, including the burly man.
Ding Kui frowned and walked towards the alley. The housekeeper asked other personal guards to protect Lu Ying and Xiao Xiao, and followed Ding Kui towards the alley.
Ding Cai, Jiang Shunchuan and Qian You stood beside Lu Ying and Xiaoxiao, looking around with alert eyes, but the old money man who came with them was nowhere to be seen.
The alley was very deep, and no one lit a lamp in front of the door, so the light in the alley was very dark. Ding Kui and the housekeeper walked into the alley for tens of meters, and only then did they see several figures punching and kicking a small figure on the ground.
One of them was the burly man, and the one who was beaten on the ground was the little beggar.
The big man beat and cursed at the same time: "I'll beat you to death for eating inside and outside. I allow you to beg for food on this street, but you want to ruin our business. If I don't teach you a profound lesson today, how can I, the old man, still hang out on the street in the future?" "
These people vented their anger on the little beggar and did not notice that Ding Kui and the housekeeper were approaching. The little beggar on the ground had been beaten until his face was covered with blood.
The little beggar suddenly screamed, grabbed a palm that slapped his face, opened his mouth and bit it down hard. The burly man raised his hand and knocked the little beggar unconscious with a stick, then raised his stick and hit it on the little beggar's leg. Knock it out.
"Stop!" Ding Kui yelled angrily, leapt up to Gu Da's side, and punched Gu Da Da's waist with his right hand. The butler appeared silently behind the other people like a ghost, and slapped them with his palm. hindbrain.
Ding Kui was very clear about the scene that happened just now. Several local gangsters cooperated to steal the hairpin on Lu Ying's head. The little beggar saw it nearby and kindly warned him that these local gangsters would take revenge on the little beggar.
When Gu Da heard the cry, he had no time to change his moves and turn around. He retracted the arm that was wielding the wooden stick and hit his elbow behind him. However, he still took a step slower and felt a pain in his waist. A huge force pushed his body forward. go out.
He is also a martial arts practitioner. He has been fighting in the streets for many years, and his strength is similar to that of a trainee warrior.
Although the power of Ding Kui's punch was not small, it could not knock down Gu Da.
Gu Da took a few steps forward and stood still. When he turned around, he saw a young man in brocade robes and an old servant glaring at him.
