Yu Song had the same idea as his father; this pearl that looked so precious could not be kept at home.

They are a small family and not only do they not have the ability to protect themselves, they may also suffer disaster as a result.

Of course, they can also choose to bury the beads and never mention them again, but what's the difference between that and throwing them away...it would be better to take the beads out and exchange them for something better.

As long as his father stands high enough with him, he may not be allowed to wear beads like this in the future, but he can always let his mother and sister wear pearls and jade.

In this regard, Yu Sanlang and Yu Song are worthy of being father and son. They both think that a good day is one that can be seen by others.

He said he wanted to offer a treasure, but he also had to know how to offer it. He walked up to the county magistrate and said, "Master, I have a treasure. It's not only stupid, but also looks very cheap."

The key point is that in this way, you lose the initiative to ask for a price.

Not long after Yu Song left home, his knowledge and vision grew rapidly as his horizons broadened.

He went to his master's room and asked his master to help him take a look at the pearl to see if it had any origins and how much it was worth.

Of course he knew that this little trick was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the master, but he still had to have the right attitude. This was Yu Song's little trick.

The master only took a look at the beads and then took Yu Song to Tan Bailu. Coincidentally, the other three young masters were also there.

"You said that your sister picked up this pearl by the river?" Tan Qilang Mengao asked with some doubt.

Yu Song nodded in agreement. He had doubts too, but his sister had always been lucky since she was a child.

She had picked up wild duck eggs when she went out before, and once, a fish jumped directly in front of her from the river, so he was not that surprised about his sister picking up two taels of silver last time.

Yu Hongdou didn’t know her brother thought this way. If she knew, she would definitely roll her eyes.

As far as she could remember, what she picked up were not wild duck eggs at all, but eggs laid by the ducks from her neighbor Zhang San's house.

At that time, Little Red Bean watched the duck lay eggs in the bushes with her own eyes. When Hu Tao, who was leading her out, was not paying attention, Little Red Bean secretly ran over and hid the eggs.

What's even more ridiculous is that the fish jumped directly in front of her. That was because the river water rose due to the rain, and the fish was short of oxygen so it jumped out of the water and accidentally jumped over her head and onto the ground.

"...Your sister is a bit lucky." Tan Qillang glanced at his fifth brother Tan Bailu. Seeing that he and Eleven or Two were looking at the beads with great interest, he knew that the young man named Yu in front of him could be trusted.

"Teacher, do you think this bead has any origin?" When Tan Bailu saw that the bead was full of color and the halo it emitted was different from the night-shining pearls he had seen, he asked his master, who was also his enlightenment mentor, for advice.

"It's an inch in diameter, pure white and glowing at night, it can light up a room." The master stroked his beard, muttered this sentence, and then looked at Tan Bailu. (From In Search of the Gods)

Tan Bailu was stunned for a moment, and a bunch of books flashed through his mind in an instant. But before he could match the numbers, his youngest brother, Tan Shiyilang, screamed in surprise.

"Sir, are you saying that this is the Sui Hou Pearl?!" Tan Yanlin was the youngest and just loved reading idle books. He had just read In Search of the Supernatural and was still impressed by the story of Sui Hou obtaining the pearl.

"Yes and no." The master shook his head, looked at Tan Bailu and sighed, then turned to look at Yu Song. Seeing that he was not confused by his ignorance, but looked eager to learn, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

"From the story of Sui Hou getting the pearl, we can infer that Sui Pearl is actually a 虵 (虵) pearl. Ordinary people don't know what a 虵 pearl is, and they all think it is a clam pearl or fluorite. In fact, 虵 pearls are common among the Hu people."

The master traveled a lot when he was young and knew a lot of strange stories. Now he told them as stories to the students and gentlemen present.

"I know this. It's said in the Southern New Book that the Hu people in the West Market value clam pearls and despise snake pearls. Snake pearls are vomited by snakes, and only the Hu people can tell the difference." After saying this, Tan Qilang looked at Tan Jiulang Langxu who hadn't said a word.

Tan Langxiu nodded. When he was young, he lived in the northwest with his parents. There were many Hu people coming and going there, and he had heard some about it.

"But snake pearls are not rare. They are white in color without any luster, and I have never heard of them glowing." Tan Langxuan confirmed what his seventh brother said, and then looked at Yu Song.

When Yu Song made eye contact with Mr. Tan Jiu, he couldn't help but feel nervous and a little embarrassed.

Ever since the three young masters of the Tan family arrived, he had always seen the Ninth Young Master remain silent. He had always suspected that he was mute, so he was surprised when he spoke, and spoke for such a long time.

"Legend has it that a snake can become a dragon after thousands of years of cultivation. The dragon holds a pearl in its mouth, which is called the dragon pearl. The dragon pearl is a treasure that the snake uses to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and transform itself, so it can emit the light of the sun and the moon." After the master finished speaking, he looked at a few people.

Seeing Tan Bailu and Tan Qilang's faces full of admiration and surprise, Tan Jiulang had a blank expression, while Tan Shiyilang and Yu Songze looked surprised.

"Is it actually a thousand-year-old dragon pearl? No wonder, no wonder!" Tan Bailu stared at the pearl and praised it.

Tan Shiyilang glanced at the gentleman, then at his ninth brother and Yu Song, and silently rolled his eyes at his fifth brother and his seventh brother who nodded along.

The master smiled and continued, "In fact, these are all nonsense. We don't know whether snakes can live for a thousand years, but this Suizhu is not a Jiaozhu."

"Sir, stop keeping me in suspense. Is this a Suizhu? I wanted to present the bead to my ancestor on her birthday this year to make her happy." Tan Bailu had just finished praising the Jiaozhu when his fantasy was cruelly shattered by his teacher. He couldn't help but feel anxious.

The lawyer shook his head and looked at Tan Bailu reproachfully, but he didn't bother to protest and started telling the story.

"There is a legend that after the Emperor Qin got the Sui Pearl, he sought out a Taoist priest and said, 'This is the thousand-year-old snake pearl obtained by the Sui Marquis. I am very curious about its thousand-year-old taste. What do you think is better, snake meat or this pearl?'"

"One of the alchemists once went to the outer region to stare at the stars. He looked at the pearl for a long time and said, 'If the king recognizes this pearl, he can get it again. But if he recognizes the thousand-year-old snake meat, he can't get it.'"

"It turns out that when this Taoist priest was in the desert outside the domain, he encountered a kind of horned snake. This kind of snake hides during the day and comes out at night. Under the moonlight, it will open its mouth wide and let its throat face the sky. There is a snake bead in its throat that emits light to lure prey."

"As time goes by, the longer the snake grows, the bigger and brighter the pearl becomes."

"The emperor was enlightened by the alchemist's words, so he ordered him to lead his soldiers to the desert to look for the snake beads to serve as a permanent light for the tomb. After many hardships, the Qin soldiers finally got 173 snake beads, and finally selected 128 of them. The rest are nowhere to be found."

The master stopped talking here, glanced at the young masters of the Tan family again, and said the last sentence with some meaning:

"According to textual research, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty once obtained a priceless night-shining pearl and gave it to his favorite concubine. This night-shining pearl was the favorite of the concubine, who often played with it in her hands. Later, the last emperor was forced out of the capital by the rebels. During the escape, his favorite concubine was separated and the whereabouts of the night-shining pearl was unknown."
