As a week passed, Xiao Ning was still in a coma, Qixie still had no news, and even Ye Mingzhu didn't know where to start. Bai Yi and Tang Sancheng were also in a state of anxiety, thinking of what Hong Ye mentioned last time.
After passing the summoning order, Bai Yi hesitated again and again and went to Hong Ye's place.
Tang Sancheng stayed by Xiao Ning's side, stroking Xiao Ning's hair from time to time, or wiping her face and hands. Seeing his infatuated look, the eldest sister couldn't stand it anymore, and she didn't know.
The reason for Xiao Ning's coma was thought to be a strange illness, and she kept lamenting the tragic fate of this pair of men and women.
Bai Yi drove to the vicinity of Hong Ye's house, parked the car, got off the car and walked to the door, then knocked on the door. As usual, he heard Hong Ye's steady footsteps and the door opened. Hong Ye discovered Bai Yi for the first time.
He came here empty-handed. As soon as he opened the door, his eyes glanced at Bai Yi's empty hands and touched his chin: "Why, there is no gain this time? This is really rare."
"It's a long story. It would be great to be able to come back with one life." Bai Yi smiled helplessly.
Seeing Bai Yi's thin appearance, Mr. Hong took a step back: "I'm afraid you suffered a big loss this time. You've lost four or five kilograms, right?"
"No," Bai Yi said, "Actually, I didn't come empty-handed today."
With that said, Bai Yi took out a small bag of tea leaves from his pocket: "This is this year's new Longjing tea. It's a pity that I didn't get a lot of it. Don't dislike it, Mr. Hong."
This new tea is processed from the first few batches of fresh leaves picked from tea trees. Some tea farmers start picking tea before Qingming Festival. Such tea is called Mingqian tea; tea picked before the rain solar term is called Mingqian tea.
It is Yuqian tea. However, not all teas are fresher, the better. Pu'er tea and black tea are better as they are aged, while the tea that pursues freshness is green tea. Drinking New Year's tea now is actually the right time.
Master Hong was very happy to receive this gift, so he asked Bai Yi to sit down and pickled vegetables by himself. After that, he came out with the tea set and placed it on the stone table in the yard: "What, are you worried about something?
"
"Master Hong, you have a lot of connections, can you help me find the Luminous Pearl?" Bai Yi also suddenly thought of it. Master Hong has been handling luminous artifacts for various people for so long. If he can get access to the Luminous Pearl, he can buy it himself, which will save trouble.
Already?
Mr. Hong poured tea for Bai Yi, smiled bitterly, and shook his head: "You and I are working in this industry, so we know how precious the night pearl is. It is now known that the night pearl buried with the old lady Cixi fell into the hands of Soong Meiling.
In addition to this buried night pearl, Cixi also had nine other pearls. Because they were slightly smaller, they were mounted on the phoenix crown. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, the Empress Dowager Cixi took four of them from her phoenix crown in order to please the foreign invaders.
Ye Mingzhu ordered a palace maid named Wang to leave the palace and give it to foreigners. What is rare is that although the palace maid is young, she has a patriotic heart. She could not bear the national treasure to fall into the hands of the invaders, so she fled with the pearl, hiding her name and enduring hardships.
On the day before her death, she gave the small pillow with the luminous pearl hidden in it to the couple named Wu who had been taking care of her, but she stopped breathing before she could explain the secret. It was not until one time that the pillow was removed and washed at home, and the couple named Wu
Only then did I discover the luminous pearl inside, and immediately dedicated the national treasure to the local government unconditionally, while the other five were missing."
"One went to the other side of the strait, four are lying in the museum, and five are missing." Bai Yi smiled bitterly: "Looks like I don't even have to place my hope anymore."
"Actually, there is such an opportunity right now." Master Hong said: "Remember the summons I told you, right? There may be a peerless luminous pearl lying in the Qin Mausoleum..."
"Master Hong, I have my own difficulties. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to this summons. Don't say that I don't know the details of the other party. Even if I know, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to participate in my current situation. No matter what,
You should keep an eye out for me. If a luminous pearl really appears, you must give me priority and inform me of the price I am willing to pay." After Bai Yi finished speaking, he saw a look of incomprehension on Mr. Hong's face: "Bai Yi
Yi, we have cooperated for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen you so distressed."
"It's related to human life, so I have to worry about it." Bai Yi said with a bitter smile: "It's a long story, and I don't know how to explain it clearly. A night pearl, a human life, which one does Mr. Hong think is more important?"
"That depends on that person's value to me." Hong Ye said, "Many things cannot be easily measured by price."
"Yes, this person is very valuable to us." Bai Yi said: "Master Hong, I won't bother you. You must remember what I said. If anyone deals with Ye Mingzhu, you must give me priority. Please
Got it!"
Mr. Hong walked Bai Yi to the door: "Don't worry, I will remember it."
Master Hong's eyes suddenly looked behind Bai Yi. Bai Yi also found that there was another shadow under his feet. When he turned around, he saw a woman dressed very coquettishly. In this era, it was very rare to see a woman dressed like this, especially when she was wearing
The dress is still a fashionable foreign dress. I am afraid only movie stars would dress like this. Now the two are very close. The woman's beautiful face is almost touching Bai Yi's face, and her nose is almost touching. Bai Yi
There was a moment of embarrassment, and he turned to one side: "Master Hong, we have guests, so I'll take my leave first!"
Although Bai Yi left, he still wondered in his heart. This circle is not big or small. He has never heard of such a female thief. But if he is not a fellow thief, Mr. Hong will never allow him to visit him. This woman
What is the origin? Thinking of this, Bai Yi turned around and saw the woman raising her legs to go in. Unexpectedly, the woman raised her head and their eyes met. The woman immediately smiled, very charming.
As charming as silk? That’s about it.
Bai Yi nodded gently and left quickly. Bai Yi didn't know that the woman stared at Bai Yi's leaving figure, tilted her head slightly, and showed a meaningful smile. Mr. Hong turned around and saw the woman.
He hadn't come in yet and said, "Please come in. What's your message from Master Jiu?"
"By the way, Mr. Hong, who was that just now?"
Bai Yi didn't get the information he wanted from Mr. Hong, so he finally laid out a route. He only hoped that a sudden change would occur and Ye Mingzhu could be obtained smoothly. Bai Yi drove his car and took a turn to an antique shop to check out his business.
, it needs to be looked after more or less. The car drove to the door of the antique shop, Bai Yi glanced in, and his expression changed a little. The two people sitting in the antique shop now... are very unusual.
