After leaving the girls' dormitory, Jiang Xiaoguo made an appointment with Yuan Xudong. The two walked hand in hand on the school playground. Jiang Xiaoguo slowly told her story. Yuan Xudong listened. When he understood the whole story, Yuan Xudong held Jiang Xiaoguo's hand.
With both hands, he looked at her big black and white eyes and smiled:
"So, you came to me just to let me tell you what your advantages are?"
"Where is it?"
Being looked at by Yuan Xudong, Jiang Xiaoguo looked a little embarrassed and quickly lowered his head and said shyly:
"I'm completely unemployed now. I just want to find someone to talk to. Don't you want to?"
"Of course I do!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo looking a little shy, Yuan Xudong pulled her and continued walking:
"It doesn't matter if you can't find a suitable job for the time being. If you are short of money, just tell me. I can support your living expenses first and pay it back to me when you make money later!"
"Do I still want to pay you back?"
While Jiang Xiaoguo was following Yuan Xudong, she looked up at him and said with a smile:
"I thought you would say that you would support me in the future, but I didn't expect that you would only support my living expenses, and you would have to pay them back in the future. You are a cheapskate!"
"Then you don't have to pay me back!"
Yuan Xudong looked at Jiang Xiaoguo, gently pinched her cheek and said with a smile:
"Just compensate yourself to me!"
"Bah, disgusting!"
After slapping away Yuan Xudong's right hand that was grabbing her cheek, Jiang Xiaoguo rolled her eyes at him, rubbed the area where he had grabbed her, and whispered:
"I'll compensate you for myself, you think so!"
"Not only do I want to be beautiful, I also look beautiful!"
Yuan Xudong smiled and pulled Jiang Xiaoguo to a stop. He took a zodiac monkey jade pendant with a red string from his neck and handed it to Jiang Xiaoguo's hand with a smile:
"Xiaoguo, this is for you!"
"what?"
Jiang Xiaoguo picked up the zodiac monkey jade pendant and looked at it. It was a vivid monkey jade pendant. The jade quality was ordinary, the color was between white and light cyan, and there was a red rope tied to it. There was nothing unusual about it.
, Jiang Xiaoguo looked directly at Yuan Xudong and asked:
"what is this?"
"Jade pendant, this is no ordinary jade pendant!"
Yuan Xudong looked at Jiang Xiaoguo and smiled:
"My grandfather is a monkey, my father is also a monkey, I am also a monkey, and my mother is also a monkey. Our family is all related to monkeys. This jade pendant was passed down to my father from my grandfather.
Then my dad passed it on to me, and now I’m giving it to you!”
"ah?"
Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary jade pendant could have such great significance. Jiang Xiaoguo quickly returned the jade pendant to Yuan Xudong and said:
"You should keep such a precious jade pendant for yourself, I can't have it!"
"Is it that I can't have it, or that I don't want it?"
Yuan Xudong smiled, put the jade pendant back into Jiang Xiaoguo's hand and said:
"Although this jade pendant is not very valuable, it is the most important thing to me. I am giving it to you now because I already have a treasure that is more important than it. Do you know what it is?"
"what is it?"
Jiang Xiaoguo held the jade pendant and asked knowingly. Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who lowered his head and was very shy, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"I won't tell you!"
"you"
Seeing Yuan Xudong teasing her, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, and said angrily:
"Hate!"
"Come on, let me put it on for you!"
Yuan Xudong smiled, picked up the jade pendant from Jiang Xiaoguo's hand, and put it on her neck. Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo with her head lowered, Yuan Xudong put his arms around her waist and smiled:
"Xiaoguo, this is my gift to my mother-in-law. From now on, you are my wife!"
"ah?"
Hearing what Yuan Xudong said, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but raise her head and look at him, widened her eyes slightly and said:
"Is this considered a betrothal gift?"
"yes!"
Facing Jiang Xiaoguo's gaze, Yuan Xudong said confidently:
"My grandfather is still discerning. He knew that the bride price would become more and more expensive in the future, so he prepared this family heirloom in advance. This is how my grandma and my mother married into our family. You wouldn't disagree, right?"
"You hate it!"
After gently patting Yuan Xudong twice, Jiang Xiaoguo felt a little embarrassed by what he said and blushed:
"Who said I wanted to marry you?"
"That won't work!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo looking so shy, Yuan Xudong put his arm around her waist and said with a smile:
"You even accepted the betrothal gift, and now it's too late to regret it!"
"I ugh!"
Before Jiang Xiaoguo could continue to speak, Yuan Xudong kissed her red lips. A soft touch, accompanied by a sweet and delicious taste, Jiang Xiaoguo closed her eyes slightly, stood on tiptoes, and hooked her hands around his neck to cooperate,
Under the hazy moonlight, the two kissed each other. The classmates who passed by in twos and threes laughed and ran away. Their lips parted for a long time. When Yuan Xudong held Jiang Xiaoguo's waist and wanted to say something, Jiang Xiaoguo quickly pushed him away with a look on his face.
Tonghong Road:
"It's almost half past ten, I'm going back first, night. Good night!"
"Hey, Xiaoguo, it's me."
Before Yuan Xudong could finish her words, Jiang Xiaoguo ran out in a panic. Yuan Xudong smiled, quickly chased after her, and sent her downstairs to the girls' dormitory. When they were about to separate, Yuan Xudong took Jiang Xiaoguo's hands and said with a smile:
"Why are you running, are you afraid that I will eat you?"
"No, no!"
Hearing what Yuan Xudong said, "Are you afraid that I'll eat you?", Jiang Xiaoguo's face turned red and she stammered:
"That's right, it's almost half past ten, I, I'm going back to sleep!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo in a panic, especially her red face, Yuan Xudong took her hands, leaned into her ear and whispered:
"Xiaoguo, I really want to eat you, Anthracene. When will you be willing to be eaten by me?"
"you"
After being teased by Yuan Xudong again, Jiang Xiaoguo quickly pushed him away and said:
"I'm going back, good night!"
"Good night!"
Watching Jiang Xiaoguo disappear into the corridor, Yuan Xudong said hello to the dormitory aunt, and then left the downstairs of the girls' dormitory under the wary eyes of the other party. It was probably due to excessive hormonal secretion. There have always been some daring people recently.
The guy wants to sneak into the girls' dormitory, so the dormitory aunt can't fish in the drama anytime and anywhere. She is now very wary of these young boys who are in love, because if they are not protected, there will be bad guys who want to fish in troubled waters.
.
When Jiang Xiaoguo returned to the dormitory again, it was already 10:11 in the evening. Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo, whose face was red and still a little distracted, Duan Jiabao quickly cared for her and said:
"Xiaoguo, are you okay?"
Hearing Duan Jiabao's voice, Jiang Xiaoguo came back to his senses, adjusted his glasses, coughed twice, and said to cover up:
"It's okay, what can happen to me?"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo returned to normal, Duan Jiabao asked quickly:
"Then have you asked Yuan Xudong what your advantages are?"
"Well"
Looking at Duan Jiabao who was full of curiosity, Jiang Xiaoguo thought for a moment and replied:
"He said I was virtuous, filial, good at living, and able to save money!"
"ah?"
Hearing what Jiang Xiaoguo said, Duan Jiabao opened his eyes slightly and said:
"Isn't this the same as what I said? These are all the advantages of being a little wife. Did he say something real and special?"
Hearing Duan Jiabao ask himself this, Jiang Xiaoguo blurted out involuntarily:
"He loves me so much!"
"ah?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo say that Yuan Xudong loved her very much, Duan Jiabao couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and said:
"No, what kind of advantage is this?"
"Okay, okay, don't embarrass her!"
After taking one look at Jiang Xiaoguo, who seemed to be suffering from a nymphomaniac, Liang Shuang looked directly at Duan Jiabao next to her, rolled his eyes and said:
"Now she just wants to be someone else's little wife. This woman who fell in love has a negative IQ. If you don't believe me, ask her if she still knows what her last name is!"
"Oh~~"
Hearing what Liang Shuang said, Duan Jiabao waved his right hand in front of Jiang Xiaoguo's eyes and asked at the same time:
"Jiang Xiaoguo, what's your surname and your name?"
Hearing Duan Jiabao ask Jiang Xiaoguo this way, Liang Shuang and Luo Yan next to her couldn't help but glance at her. Good guy, you even called her by name, and you asked her what her last name was. This is not insulting her.
IQ?
"Well, what did you say?"
Jiang Xiaoguo covered the jade pendant hanging on her chest with both hands and said with doubtful eyes:
"Dabao, what did you ask me just now?"
"It's over, it's over, it's over!"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo did not answer his question, Duan Jiabao looked at Liang Shuang and Luo Yan and said:
"Xiaoguo's IQ has really become negative!"
Liang Shuang and Luo Yan looked at each other. Liang Shuang glanced at Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao and smiled:
"Look what I'm saying, this woman in love really has a negative IQ, right?"
"Uh huh huh!"
Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"Go! Go! Go!"
Seeing that Liang Shuang, Duan Jiabao, and Luo Yan were all making fun of themselves, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but roll her eyes at them, and then she couldn't wait to take out the jade pendant that Yuan Xudong gave her, sharing it and showing off at the same time:
"Look, this is the jade pendant he gave me. It's pretty, isn't it?"
"Let me see, let me see!"
"I want to see too!"
Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan quickly moved over to look at the jade pendant. Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo treasured the jade pendant so much, Liang Shuang couldn't help but move over to see what kind of treasure it was. Could it be Hetian jade?
Looking at the low-quality jade with ordinary texture and color between white and light cyan, Liang Shuang couldn't help but frown slightly and said:
"What is this?"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao, and Luo Yan looking at him, Liang Shuang explained:
"Gold is valuable, jade is priceless, the best jade is jade, Hotan jade, Lantian jade, Dushan jade, Xiu jade, among which jadeite is called the king of jade, the main origin is Myanmar, Hotan jade, Lantian jade, Dushan jade Jade and Xiu jade are collectively known as the four famous jades. Among them, Hotan jade is the most representative variety of traditional jade in my country. It is mainly distributed in the Hotan region of Xinjiang, my country. Dushan jade is produced in Dushan, Nanyang, Henan, and Xiu jade is produced in Liaoning. Xiuyan County, Lantian jade is produced in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. Your piece of jade is a bit like Xiu jade, but the texture of Xiu jade is tough, delicate and moist, and its luster is bright. It is obviously inconsistent with your jade pendant. Your jade pendant is completely ordinary jade. The leftover materials are not much different from stones, and they are only worth a few hundred to a thousand yuan at most. I thought they were some great treasures!"
"You're the only one who knows that much?"
Looking at Liang Shuang who spoke so eloquently, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but roll his eyes at her and retorted:
"Why is gold valuable and jade priceless? It's all a lie. It's used by jade sellers to deceive jade buyers. Whether it's jade or any of the four famous jade, isn't it just a good-looking stone? It's necessary.
Is it so expensive? Just like jade sold in shopping malls, there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. If I buy a jade for 500,000, can I sell it for 500,000? A piece of jade costs 1,000 yuan.
The price is 20,000 yuan, and I still make 1,000 yuan with a 10% discount, just to trick people into buying their stones from rich people who have a lot of money!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Xiaoguo smiled and said:
"I am studying finance. The jade sold in shopping malls is usually mass-produced. From raw materials to processing, the cost is very low. However, the rent of the shop, promotion, water and electricity, human resources, decoration costs, etc., these are the only
It is a big expense, plus the subsequent value-added tax and corporate income tax, as well as employee commissions, financial costs, etc., all of which have to be paid by the customer in the end. The good jade you mentioned is just a good-looking stone.
, what is good and what is bad are the inherent concepts instilled in you by others, just like a diamond, it is essentially just a stone, so the jade itself is not important, what is important is the intention of the person who gave the jade! "
After a slight pause, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at Liang Shuang, Duan Jiabao, and Luo Yan and said:
"Have you ever heard of tulips in Holland?"
"No!"
Liang Shuang, Duan Jiabao, and Luo Yan shook their heads slightly.
Seeing that none of them knew about the tulip incident in the Netherlands, Jiang Xiaoguo coughed twice and briefly explained:
"Tulips were introduced to Western Europe from Turkey in the mid-17th century. At that time, tulips were small in quantity and high in price. They were regarded by all the upper classes as a symbol of wealth and glory. Speculators took a fancy to the business opportunities and began to speculate wildly. At first, they were speculating on tulips, and later on
Even the tulip bulbs were not spared. At that time, everyone thought that tulips were noble and a symbol of wealth. At the craziest time, a few tulip bulbs could buy a villa, but in fact, tulips were just ordinary ones.
They were just flowers, nothing special, just like the so-called diamonds and the four famous jade. Later, some people shipped countless tulips across the ocean, dreaming of getting rich. In the end, the tulip market collapsed suddenly, just because of one flower.
Ordinary tulip flowers indirectly led to the decline of the Netherlands, the European economic center at that time."
Speaking of this, Jiang Xiaoguo paused slightly and said:
"Of course, after this tulip incident, those speculators have become more experienced. Let's take diamonds and jade as examples. On the one hand, they control the supply of goods and prevent too many diamonds or jade from flowing into the market. On the other hand, they give themselves
Diamonds and jade are issued with certificates. The prices of identical diamonds or jade are very different between those with certificates and those without certificates. But in fact, are there any essential differences between them?
Then after several years, decades, or even hundreds of years of propaganda, people's ideas were subtly changed, and the originally worthless stones gradually became valuable, and the more they were sold, the more expensive they were. In the end, even the speculators at the time
Descendants have begun to believe that these stones are truly priceless treasures, that is, the so-called gold is valuable, jade is priceless, love lasts forever, diamonds last forever, etc. What they sell is not ordinary diamonds and jade, but people's psychological pursuits.
A vanity of self-gratification and showing off to others!”
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo's reasonable words, Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan couldn't help but admire:
"Wow, Xiaoguo, you are so awesome!"
"so so!"
Jiang Xiaoguo waved his hand and smiled modestly.
Looking at the fussy Jiang Xiaoguo, Liang Shuang curled his lips and said:
"Then you don't like diamonds, do you? Also, since it's a broken stone, why do you still value it so much?"
"Who said I don't like diamonds?"
After glancing at Liang Shuang, Jiang Xiaoguo held the jade pendant given to her by Yuan Xudong and said confidently:
"Don't you have money to buy diamonds? If you have money, who wouldn't want to show it off?"
Looking at the shameless Jiang Xiaoguo, Liang Shuang couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said:
"It's half past ten, turn off the lights and go to bed!"
"ah?"
"Oh my god?"
"Is it half past ten again?"
Ignoring the complaining Jiang Xiaoguo trio, Liang Shuang climbed onto the bed and began to sleep. After a moment of hesitation, she hid under the quilt and took out her phone, and started browsing Chen Zhuo's Weibo. She saw that he was showing off to his fiancée on Weibo.
Love, Liang Shuang closed Weibo quite unhappily, then opened WeChat and started to look at Yuan Xudong’s Moments. When she saw that he was posting photos of Jiang Xiaoguo in Moments, Liang Shuang couldn’t help but turn off her phone and go to sleep. She raised her mouth and murmured to herself:
"Smelly men, none of them are good!"
Just when Liang Shuang was lying on the bed, unable to sleep, Jiang Xiaoguo turned off the chandelier in the bedroom, and then took Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao to hide under his small desk lamp and whisper. After the breakup, Liang Shuang just lost his ability.
They were no longer afraid of the paper tiger with claws and teeth. Jiang Xiaoguo waved the jade pendant around her neck in front of Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan and smiled mischievously:
"Do you know? This jade pendant is not an ordinary jade pendant. It is a monkey. Yuan Xudong's grandfather is a monkey, his father is also a monkey, he is also a monkey, and his mother is also a monkey.
They are a family”
“Their family is all monkey!”
Before Jiang Xiaoguo could finish speaking, Duan Jiabao nodded and interrupted.
"Dabao, be good, don't interrupt, listen to me!"
"Oh~~"
After looking at Duan Jiabao, Jiang Xiaoguo continued:
"Where did I say it?"
“Their family is all monkey!”
Luo Yan next to her reminded.
"Yes, their whole family is born in the Year of the Monkey, bah, no, what is this mess?"
Jiang Xiaoguo nodded first, then spat lightly, shook his head and said:
"Their family is all related to monkeys. His grandfather passed this jade pendant to his father, and his father passed this jade pendant to him, and then he gave it to me. Do you know what this means?"
"what does it mean?"
Looking at Duan Jiabao who asked the question, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but snickered:
"He wanted to marry me and even wanted to eat me. Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have been eaten by him!"
"ah?"
"That's it?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who was snickering, Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan looked at each other, and then said in unison:
"I'm bored, I'm going to bed, good night!"
"Don't leave, please stay with me for a while. I'm a little excited right now and can't sleep!"
"Go ahead and count the monkeys!"
"That's right, show affection and die quickly!"
Giving two middle fingers to the excited Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan climbed into their own beds and began to sleep. Just when Jiang Xiaoguo was about to say something else, Liang Shuang, who was lying in bed, lifted the quilt and said:
"It's so annoying, Jiang Xiaoguo, why don't you let people sleep?"
"Sleep, just sleep. Why are you so mean?"
Suddenly hearing Liang Shuang's voice, Jiang Xiaoguo was startled. Seeing her lying on her side on the bed, her two big eyes staring at him, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but swallowed her saliva, and whispered with some lack of confidence:
"Why are you looking at me? Let me tell you Liang Shuang, you are just a toothless paper tiger now, and I am not afraid of you!"
"sleep!"
"I sleep when I sleep!"
After giving Liang Shuang a hard look, Jiang Xiaoguo quickly climbed onto his bed and began to sleep. He thought to himself that this tiger was still a tiger, and it was still just as scary without its teeth!
