Suddenly, Jia Rong thought of one thing. That hairpin, the green hairpin and the one he gave to Xiu'er were so imaginative. Because of the incident between Jia Ren and Jia Xuan a few days ago, he was delayed for a while and was forgotten.
.
After coming out of the school, Jia Rong immediately changed into casual clothes, got on his horse, and rushed towards the place where the small vendors were. He would rather believe that they were there than believe that they were not there. Thinking of the time when the bandit leader was killed, a joking and confused look flashed in his eyes.
With a happy look in his eyes, he vaguely believed that Xiu'er was not dead.
Looking as far as the eye could see, there was no sign of small vendors. The streets were filled with merchants and people. Jia Rong actually felt a sense of loss. So what if he found Xiu'er? Nearly ten years had passed. Xiu'er's
She is also in her twenties. In this era, she can already be called old. What will happen if Xiuer marries someone else? Is it a sincere blessing, or does she feel shameless and snatch Xiuer back, leaving her depressed for the rest of her life?
Well, when it really came to this juncture, Jia Rong was a little hesitant.
"Sir, do you still want that hairpin?"
Jia Rong looked at the sound and saw that it was the small vendor. He was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
"Well, sir, please move somewhere else. There are too many people here." The vendor said out of caution. After Jia Rong left that day, the vendor waited until dark and continued to wander around, hoping to meet him.
Jia Rong, when he came out today, he also made plans. If he could not meet Jia Rong again, the deal would be considered a failure. He originally hoped to make a lot of money by selling this hairpin. Jia Rong, who was well-dressed,
Rong gave him hope.
"Can you take it out?" Jia Rong's tone was a little excited.
The vendor took the hairpin out of his arms and uncovered the layers of fine cloth wrapped around it.
Jia Rong grabbed it and looked at it carefully, his expression became more and more excited. He was already sure that this was the original hairpin.
Looking at the hairpin, the past events are vivid in my mind, as if that charming and beautiful woman appears in front of me again, along with the robbers, Li Shun, Li Hu and the bandits.
"How much?" After a long time, Jia Rong regained his calm expression and asked calmly.
"Twenty thousand dollars." The hawker gritted his teeth and said, finally meeting a buyer. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that this hairpin is worthless. If you put it in a shop, it would be difficult to sell it for even 100 yuan. It is also a loss for the hawker to dare to tell such lies.
Jia Rong felt all over his body and saw that he was in a hurry to go out without any money. He nodded slightly and said, "I bought it. Come with me to the house to get the money."
The hawker was very excited. With 20,000 yuan, he could stop doing it and not have to worry about it for the rest of his life. He never thought that a hairpin he got by chance would bring such an opportunity. It was really a big surprise that fell from the sky.
The cake made the hawker feel dizzy, and the gentleman in front of him looked more and more like a victim. He never thought that someone who could easily spend 20,000 yuan would be an ordinary person.
The further he walked, the hawker's expression became weirder. This street was obviously a place where only officials in Chang'an lived. Normally, a small vendor like him would not be able to come to such a place. Now that he followed Jia Rong, this small street
The street vendor is also a very nervous person, looking left and right, looking like a curious baby.
"General!" A man who looked like an official said respectfully.
Jia Rong waved his hands and continued walking forward.
"General?" Could it be that the person in front of me is the general of the Xiliang Army? This is outrageous. It is the Xiliang Army who makes the decision. This is an outright fact. Who knows about the merchants who have offended the generals of the Xiliang Army?
Even if there is no way out, maybe I can't leave Chang'an without getting the money.
"First...general, the price of hairpins is actually more than this. If the general is interested, just pay 10,000 yuan." The vendor hurriedly stepped forward and said.
Jia Rong's whole mind was focused on the hairpin, and he didn't even notice the changes in the hawker's behavior.
The four gilded characters "General's Mansion" made the vendor's intention to offer 10,000 yuan disappear. Working in the General's Mansion, the person in front of him must have a transcendent status in the Xiliang army.
"Get 20,000 yuan from this businessman." Jia Rong said to the guards outside the general's mansion.
The guard glanced at Jia Rong doubtfully, clasped his fists in agreement, and walked slowly into the house.
After a while, an old man came out of the mansion, who was the manager of the mansion, and hurried towards Jia Rong.
"Here's twenty thousand dollars!"
The vendor excitedly took the money and declined: "The hairpin doesn't cost that much, only five thousand dollars is enough."
The manager looked at the helpless Jia Rong in surprise and asked softly: "General, general!"
After a long time, Jia Rong came to his senses and asked: "What's wrong? Is it because we don't have enough money?"
"No, the businessman said that he can't use so much."
"Oh." Jia Rong nodded and said, "Follow me to the mansion. I still have something to ask."
Of course, the manager unceremoniously changed the 20,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan. Seeing that Jia Rong didn't take the money matter to heart, the hawker also felt a heartache. This was 15,000 yuan, and it was lost just because of a word.
, but the real owner didn't seem to take it seriously at all.
The manager thought that the businessman was Jia Rong's distinguished guest, so he spared no effort in greeting him. He offered fine wines and fragrant teas, and the servants in the mansion kept bringing all kinds of food. The vendors were dazzled by the sight. Influenced by Jia Rong's philosophy, the manager simply
I will not look down on any businessman. I wonder if Mi Zhuwei is also a businessman. He is now one of the many nobles in Chang'an City.
Jia Rong didn't criticize him and just sat in the top position with a smile.
Suddenly, the hawker realized that the general in front of him might not be that simple. He could order the guards outside the general's mansion to take out 20,000 yuan, and dare to sit down in the main hall of the mansion, with so many servants waiting on him. Thinking about this, he felt like sitting on pins and needles.
, completely did not get the joy that five thousand dollars should bring.
Jia Rong picked up the tea, took a sip and said, "Please."
The vendor felt uncomfortable all over and hurriedly picked up the cup and said: "General, please!"
"I'll ask you a few questions, and if you answer them to the general's satisfaction, you'll be rewarded heavily." Jia Rong first tempted you with heavy profits.
The hawker nodded repeatedly. You can imagine the excitement in his heart at being able to have close contact with the nobles of the Xiliang Army. "General, don't worry, this villain will definitely know everything and say everything."
"Where did you get this hairpin? You must tell the truth." Speaking of this, Jia Rong's eyes suddenly sharpened.
The hawker's heart trembled, and he almost dropped the cup in his hand in fright, and hurriedly replied: "General, a villain accidentally got the hairpin in Wuwei County. I remember that it was a woman in her twenties who sold it to the villain.
.”
"About 20 years old, Wuwei County." The hawker's words were like thunder, exploding in Jia Rong's heart.
"What does that woman look like, do you still remember her?" Jia Rong asked, not noticing the tea in the cup splashing on his hands.
"The girl was quite beautiful. She was wearing a blue dress. It's been so long that I don't even remember her clearly." The vendor said calmly.
"Do you remember the specific place?" Jia Rong stood up and left his seat.
"Let me think about it for a moment." The vendor frowned and thought for a long time, then said, "General, I only remember roughly."
"That's enough. You can take me there tomorrow, or no, today." Jia Rong put down the cup, his tone unquestionable.
"General, villain..." The hawker couldn't afford to offend a big shot like Jia Rong, so he felt a little unhappy if he returned to Wuwei County.
"After the work is completed, there will be many rewards." Seeing the hawker's doubts, Jia Rong said coldly: "Can't the credibility of the General's Mansion be guaranteed?"
"The general's words are serious. I will go back and make some preparations." The vendor still had a lot of items in the city, so he was naturally worried.
"Be sure to get to the General's Mansion before it gets dark. No one in Chang'an has ever escaped from my hands." Jia Rong warned, fearing that the hawker had some intentions and would delay the important event.
"Thank you, general, thank you, general!" the vendor said repeatedly, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Okay, you go back first, I don't like others being late."
As soon as the hawker walked out of the main hall, he met the manager of the mansion. He did not dare to neglect and hurriedly greeted him. This was the general's mansion, and even a servant could not be offended by the hawker.
"Do you know the identity of that person just now?" the manager asked softly with kind eyes.
The hawker cupped his fists and said, "I don't know, please let me know."
"You are not a great person. Thanks to the general's respect, I am responsible for the miscellaneous affairs in the general's mansion." The steward approached and said, "The person just now is the commander-in-chief of the Xiliang Army, the general!"
After the vendor walked out of the general's mansion, he still couldn't believe that he had just sat down to drink and drink tea with the world-famous general. What was even more shocking was that he had cheated the general and sold a worthless hairpin.
Five thousand dollars. "Could it be that the general wants to take me out of the city and kill me to silence me?" Thinking of this, the hawker broke out in cold sweat.
But then I thought about it, if the general really wanted to default on his debt, there was no need to just find a place in the house and kill him. The loss of a hawker in the city would not have the slightest impact. It seemed that the hairpin would definitely have a great influence on the general.
It is very important. If you seize this opportunity, you might be able to receive a large reward. Wouldn't it be wonderful to bring all the family and children to Chang'an? You will spend your whole life running around and still live in the Central Plains without any sense of security.
Jia Rong kept pacing in the hall. Xiu'er was his first love in his two lives. Although he has been missing for many years, it is still an indelible scar in his heart. The smile of the girl in the past will always appear in Jia Rong's eyes in the dead of night.
in mind.
"What would Xiu'er think if she learned that she was married? Would she think that she was greedy for beauty and forget about her?" Jia Rong suddenly became worried about gains and losses.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? You've been restless since you returned home." Wei Fu put her hands on Jia Rong's shoulders and squeezed them gently.
Jia Rong reached into his arms and took out the green hairpin, with a smile on his lips.
