The wind of wonder in Tianyue rises from the frontier fortress

Zhao Ning went inside without knowing, and called the sedan chair from this side, and at the same time called Chu Qingxi affectionately: "Sister Chu, the sedan chair is here." She stretched out her hand naturally, just like in the past, she wanted to help Chu Qingxi Qingxi's wrist, however, was coldly glanced by Chu Qingxi, and it was like a basin of ice water poured down her head, making her stand still and unable to turn around for a while.

"Let's go." Chu Qingxi in the sedan chair seemed to be okay, and ordered the bearer to go on the road.Zhu Wen and Bi Hen realized that the atmosphere was not right, so they didn't dare to say much. Seeing that Zhao Ning was in a low mood, Zhu Wen secretly pulled her sleeve, and hurriedly followed the sedan chair.

Zhao Ning was a little puzzled, he was joking and laughing just now, why did he become as cold as ice all of a sudden?Could it be that someone offended Chu Qingxi when he went to call for the sedan chair just now?

Thinking of this, she hastily threw away and strode forward, grabbed Bihen and secretly pointed to the sedan chair, and asked in a low voice: "Did someone offend her just now?"

Bihen carefully glanced at the sedan chair, and shook his head subtly, Zhao Ning became more and more surprised, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what happened to Qingxi, so he could only follow the sedan chair, and hurried back to the house.

For the next few days, Chu Qingxi treated her a little coldly. Although she didn't speak ill of each other, the alienated atmosphere made Zhao Ning even more uncomfortable.What made her feel even more sad was that Chu Qingxi seemed to be avoiding her on purpose. In the past, although the two of them were not inseparable, they at least lived and ate together.Chu Qingxi needs to drink tea every afternoon, and often invites her to drink tea.

However, in the past few days, even though they were still eating at the same table, Chu Qingxi never said a word. She was a bit serious at first, but now she has a bit of indifference added to her body, making it more difficult for people to get close to her.

The atmosphere in the small courtyard was so oppressive that people couldn't breathe. Although Zhao Ning tried to find out why Chu Qingxi was unhappy, she still couldn't get a response. I feel aggrieved.

On this day, when Chu Qingxi was tending flowers in the courtyard, Zhao Ning approached again with a shy face, and said with a smile: "Sister Chu, the flowers look much better after you have matched them like this.", She She flattered her with words, and secretly observed Chu Qingxi's expression, but Chu Qingxi didn't say yes or no, she pruned a few flowers by herself, got up and was about to leave.

Zhao Ning was already tormented by such indifference. She desperately endured her temper that was about to explode, stepped forward and grabbed Chu Qingxi's sleeve, and said seriously: "Sister Chu, why are you angry? If I I accidentally offended you, just say it, don't ignore me."

She admits that she has never done anything wrong to Chu Qingxi, and her words naturally have a questioning tone, but her heart is full of sincerity, and she sincerely hopes that Chu Qingxi can have a frank and honest talk with her , instead of adopting such an indifferent way.

Indifference will not solve the problem!However, this is just Zhao Ning's own thoughts.When she met Chu Qingxi's cold eyes, her heart gradually sank to the bottom of the valley.Chu Qingxi obviously didn't intend to explain anything to her.

Zhao Ning's heart gradually cooled down, but her face turned red quickly, her breathing was a little short, and the fingers holding Chu Qingxi's sleeve were trembling slightly.Chu Qingxi saw everything, but still stood there coldly, obstinately not saying a word.

"I don't think I did anything wrong, why did you treat me like this!" Zhao Ning finally couldn't help but burst out, and Dou Da's tears burst out, together with the grievances she had accumulated in the past few days: "Even if I do Wrong, you can also say it clearly, so that I can know where I am doing. You don't say anything, and you ignore me, what do you want me to do!"

She was crying and complaining about Chu Qingxi's indifference: "I know you don't want to talk to me, so I'll go! I'll just go!" She was hysterical, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged, and suddenly threw Chu Qingxi away. Qingxi covered her face with her sleeves and ran out the door.

Chu Qingxi also seemed to be taken aback by her sudden emotion, until seeing her rushing out the door, Fang Zi came back to his senses, sighed inaudibly, and said to Zhu Wen: "Follow her, don't go out. What's the matter?"

Zhu Wen went away in response, while Chu Qingxi stared blankly at the door with a dazed expression.No one can guess her mood at this time, because even she herself can't figure out why she has been awkward for the past few days.

After Zhao Ning rushed out the door in a rage, he found that he didn't know where to go for a while.She was chatting all by herself, so she had to wander around, and suddenly saw a crowd of people not far away, so she couldn't help but walk over curiously.

I saw a small stall facing the street, on which there were various jade ornaments in different postures, some of which were green in color, and some of which were like suet, all kinds and lifelike.The stall owner is a plain old man, but his palms full of furrows and wrinkles are like magic, and the gray stones in his hands gradually reveal a magical appearance.

At this time, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a potbellied businessman was standing in front of his booth, holding a pebble-sized stone in his hand and looking it over and over again.The carving knife in the hand of the old stall owner is flying up and down, and he is carving the jade in his hand.

Where the knife passed, stone chips flew, and the jade stone in the hands of the old stall owner was beginning to emerge. The long ears, open mouth, and short legs turned out to be a lively little white rabbit.What's even more amazing is that the two natural shades of Yinhong on the jade were just taken as the red eyes of the little rabbit.

The onlookers were still praising, but they heard the middle-aged merchant weigh the stone in his hand and asked loudly: "Old man, can this stone be sold?"

The old stall owner glanced at the stone in his hand lightly, shook his head and said, "Master, this stone is worthless, if you want it, you can exchange it for the same one."

A hint of cunning flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged merchant, and he secretly said: "How can this old thing be so kind, it is estimated that the jade content of this stone is very high, and it can't be sold at a good price if it is sold as a stone. If I change to a polished one, how much profit can I make if this one is polished?"

Thinking about it this way, the middle-aged businessman said with a smile: "Old man, I just fell in love with this one. How much does it cost, you can set a price."

The old stall owner shook his head and said: "Senior official, the old man is not fooled. This stone is really not easy to sell. You should change it."

When the middle-aged merchant saw that he was repeatedly evasive, he became more and more convinced that the stone in his hand was valuable, and couldn't help becoming a little impatient: "Hey, old man, since you opened this stall, the things on this stall are naturally For sale. I have taken a fancy to your stone today, so I should say a price. If the price is right, I will buy it from you and sell it on mutual agreement, so there is no hesitation."

The old stall owner kept waving his hands and said: "Master, to tell you the truth, everything on this stall is for sale, but it is really difficult to ask for a price for this rough stone. This thing is all based on one's eyesight. Buy expensive and buy cheap It's easy to argue."

Hearing this, the middle-aged businessman couldn't help but stare and said: "I have to buy this one today. Old man, since you are worried about disputes, we might as well let the young and old present be witnesses. I would like to admit defeat, business Ten percent, none of us can go back on our word."

At this moment, the crowd watching the excitement suddenly boiled up: "Okay! Let's be a witness. Old man, you can make a price."

The old stall owner had a bitter face, and seemed to be a little frightened. He hesitated for a while, and boldly stretched out three fingers: "Three... 30 taels!" The asking price is 30 taels. Could it be that this old man is poor and crazy.

The face of the middle-aged businessman exuded excitement, he stretched out a fat palm, raised two fingers and said: "20 taels!"

Hearing this, the old stall owner shook his head again and again and said, "No, the minimum is 28 taels."

The middle-aged merchant said: "25 taels!", the two bargained, and finally settled the deal at a price of 27 cents.This time the money and the goods are paid off, the middle-aged businessman is like a treasure, holding the jade, he can't stop smiling from ear to ear.

Those with good intentions would not let go of this opportunity, and they couldn't help shouting: "Your official, after spending so much money, teach my brothers to open their eyes!"

"That's right, that's right! Open this stone and see how much jade there is inside."

Everyone chattered and discussed, and surrounded the middle-aged merchant, but the old man who set up the stall was already packing up the stall slowly, and was about to pack up and leave.

Zhao Ning saw all this in her eyes, she followed the old stall owner silently, and walked into a very remote alley.After walking not far, I heard the old man say in front: "Little girl, why are you following me for no reason?"

Zhao Ning knew that he had discovered him, so he hurriedly walked a few steps, said a blessing, and said, "Old man, to be honest, I just fell in love with the little white rabbit you just made, but unfortunately I haven't had a chance to speak, I wonder if I can sell it to you now?" I?"

The old man saw that she was dressed richly but respectfully and politely, and he felt a smile on his face: "Do you like this little white rabbit? Hehe, an old man slaughtered a fat sheep today, and he was very happy. I'll give it to you for free." He said and passed the jade rabbit in his hand.

Hearing this, Zhao Ning waved her hands again and again and said: "This is not possible. The so-called no reward for no merit, how can I want the old man's things for nothing." She frowned slightly, took out some broken silver from her body, and said: "It's just that I came out I was in a hurry, I didn’t bring enough silver, although these are not enough, they are already all the silver on me.”

Seeing her sincerity, the old man felt a little more appreciative in his heart, reached out and took the smallest piece of barley silver from her hand, put the jade rabbit in her hand, and said with a smile: "Little Girl, go home quickly, this world is dangerous, you better not run around outside by yourself." Before Zhao Ning could answer, he picked up the stall and walked away without looking back.

Zhao Ning stared blankly at his receding back, couldn't help thinking of his words just now: "The old man just slaughtered a fat sheep." He was startled in his heart, the fat sheep, could it be that middle-aged merchant?

She came back to her senses in shock, the old man had long since disappeared. She hurriedly ran to the previous place, only to see the middle-aged businessman sitting slumped on the ground, as if in mourning, with two halves of stones scattered around him. Seeing that the stone is dry, the color is gray and black, and there is no trace of greenness inside, just like a piece of worthless broken stone. The poor middle-aged merchant can't afford to steal a lot of rice. He wanted to stain the old stall owner. Great deal, who would have thought that the hawk was pecked in the eye by the hawk. This seemingly honest and honest old stall owner had obviously set up a trap for him to fall into.It can be seen that such things as being greedy for small things but losing big things, and being misunderstood by cleverness happen every day.
