Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

After the butler brought Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling to the restaurant, they were led by the waiter to the private room where Di Xin and Qin Fuguang were having their meal.

"Uncle Di, Uncle Qin, I'm here. I missed you guys so much!"

Hua Yu pushed open the door of the box and saw not only Emperor Xin and Qin Fuguang but also a handsome young man. The three of them were sitting by the window. When they heard the voice, they all turned around to look over.

Hua Yu felt embarrassed when she saw the stranger man she didn't know. She hid behind Zhang Qiling, grabbing the clothes on his back, her cheeks blushing.

"Second Master Hong, I'm sorry that my young master is here. Please forgive me, Second Master."

Master Hong said words of forgiveness, but his eyes were full of relief.

"It's okay." Master Hong waved his hand, still holding the wine glass in his hand.

"Okay, stop hiding behind your brother and come out quickly." Emperor Xin said with a smile as he looked at the ear with a corner of red.

Hua Yu then slowly moved out from behind Zhang Qiling, stood obediently beside Zhang Qiling, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and looked down at the tip of her shoes.

"Old Yu, you should go back first. We need to clean up the place where our young master lives. Otherwise, with his delicate body, I'm afraid he will cause chaos in the whole house tonight."

Emperor Xin was the person who knew Hua Yu the best. After all, he had often smuggled him out right under Uncle Yang's nose in the past. Every time he stayed at an inn, he had to bring all the things he needed for accommodation, including the bed and bedding he was used to. Once something didn't go his way, he would make a scene and make everyone fall into a tizzy.

Fortunately, his family can meet his picky demands and tolerate all his little tempers.

The butler said "oh" and left the restaurant, going back to supervise the people in the mansion to clean the yard.

"Master Hong, let me introduce him to you."

"This is my precious young master, his surname is Hua and his given name is Yu."

"This is my young master who grew up with me. His surname is Zhang and his name is Haiguan. Master Hong Er can just call him Xiaoguan."

Master Hong looked at the two people introduced by Emperor Xin and could tell that Emperor Xin respected and doted on the one named Hua Yu, but had no special attitude towards the one named Zhang Haiguan, as if he was introducing a junior.

"I left in a hurry today and didn't bring anything with me. I'll give you a gift next time we meet."

"Then there's no need for Master Hong to spend money. My young master has so many good things."

Qin Fuguang also knew that the things in Hua Yu's hand were rare treasures even in the imperial families of the past. He was afraid that even his young master would not be interested in the things in Mr. Hong's hand.

"Uncle Qin, what is the gift for meeting you?" Hua Yu didn't understand these polite words. She sat next to Qin Fuguang and asked in a low voice.

Only Hua Yu didn't understand, but his so-called soft voice was actually clearly heard by everyone present.

Master Hong had never seen such a clean child. He could tell at a glance that the child was brought up in pampered condition and was well protected, and had never been exposed to any dirty things in the outside world.

"A meeting gift is something small that an elder gives to a younger person. It's a kind of courtesy."

"The elders give to the younger ones, so do I have to give anything?"

When Master Hong heard that Hua Yu wanted to be an elder at such a young age, his smile became a little stiff.

"It's up to you. If you think the person is good, you can give him something better. If you think the person is not to your liking, you can give him something worse or give him nothing. It doesn't matter." Qin Fuguang didn't notice the forced smile on the face of Master Hong Er opposite him, and was still explaining to Hua Yu.

Emperor Xin, who was sitting next to Master Hong, saw it. Although he felt that Hua Yu did nothing wrong, Hua Yu's appearance was there after all, and she had some business ties with them, so he didn't want to lose face.

"Master Hong, please forgive me for making fun of you. When this young master of our family was at home, no one was qualified to be his elder, so he didn't understand these rules."

The sound of wine glasses clinking brought Master Hong back to his senses. After hearing Emperor Xin's explanation, he also understood Hua Yu's identity.

"Little Lotus, let me introduce this guy to you. He is a famous opera star in Changsha, Er Yue Hong, also known as Second Master Hong. You can call him Uncle Hong."

"I am not worthy of the title of uncle. Just call me Eryue." Er Yuehong did not dare to let anyone call him uncle. The two people around him had businesses all over the country and even overseas, but they still had to respectfully call him "young master". How could he have the ability to let others call him uncle?

"February, February, what is Liyuan? Is it fun?" Hua Yu was attracted. Looking at the man who looked as good as Zhang Qiling, she sat next to him and asked.

"Liyuan is a place for listening to opera. If you want to listen, I'll ask someone to reserve a seat for you, okay?" Er Yuehong was startled by Hua Yu's sudden action of sitting down.

"Okay, okay. I heard them say before that only rich people go to opera. I've never been to listen to one before." Hua Yu looked at Er Yuehong with sparkling eyes, which made Er Yuehong stunned.

Er Yuehong felt something heavy in his hand. It turned out that Hua Yu had put a purse in his hand. Er Yuehong shook it lightly and it still felt a little heavy. There seemed to be some round beads inside.

"I don't know what you like. This is something I often take out to play with. I'm giving it to you." Hua Yu looked forward to watching Er Yuehong open his purse.

Er Yuehong opened her purse under Hua Yu's expectant gaze, and found a bag of pearls inside. Each pearl was plump and round, and at first glance, each one was as big as a longan, and seemed to emit fluorescence.

"Is this South China Pearl?" Er Yuehong couldn't believe it. The young boy in front of him actually took out a bag of South China Pearl.

"This is a mermaid pearl. What is a south pearl? I've heard Black Glasses talk about it before, but I've never seen it." Hua Yu said with a puzzled look on her face.

"South Pearls are a type of pearl that is unique to the South China Sea and can only be produced in giant deep-sea clams that have absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon. South Pearls are also known as Night-Shining Pearls, so there is a saying that Western Pearls are not as good as Eastern Pearls, and Eastern Pearls are not as good as South Pearls."

"And Dongzhu has always been exclusively supplied to the royal family, which shows that Nanzhu is no less rare than Dongzhu."

"So that's how it is. If I have a chance, I must go to the origin of South Pearl and take a closer look."

"Look at this Nanzhu and my mermaid pearl, which one is better?"

"Naturally, the South Pearl cannot be compared with your Shark Pearl. After all, the South Pearl is something that can be found in the world, while the Shark Pearl is indeed a precious pearl that cannot be found in the world. It is a magical object that can bring the dead back to life in myths and legends."

"Do you think something that can be found in the world is more precious or something that cannot be found in the world is more precious?"

"I don't know, but I don't have Nanzhu, I want to see."
