The prince is very fierce

Prince Wang, nice to meet you. ”

Beside the Qinhuai River, in front of the beautifully decorated Jade Pavilion, Xu Buling came to the gate with Nightingale and nodded to greet him.

Wang Ruiyang had a humble expression, raised his hand to perform a scholar's salute, and chuckled:

"I have an appointment with Brother Xiao to attend the Jinling Poetry Festival, and I'm here to pick gifts for the birthday banquet of King Wu. I didn't expect Brother Xiao to come here, but Prince Xu came first."

Since they met, they naturally had to say a few polite words. Xu Buling smiled and walked into the Jade Pavilion, taking a glance:

"Brother Wang was also invited to celebrate the birthday of King Wu? I'm afraid there's nothing good to be found in this place. ”

The Jade Shop can be opened near the most prosperous Jinling Poetry Society, so its grade must be high. The items displayed inside are all valuable, and it is obviously prepared for the wealthy families in Jinling City. But when one’s status reaches the level of a king or a prince, he will definitely look down on the items that can be sold on the street. Without some allusions and origins, he can’t show them off at all. After all, the Wang family in Hangzhou is a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Even if they don’t have a collection habit like the Xiao family, they always have some background. How can they go to the street to buy birthday gifts for the King of Wu.

Wang Ruiyang was waiting here, so naturally he would not find such a far-fetched reason. He explained with a smile:

“Xu Shizi is wrong. The King of Wu likes to collect jade. My family lives in Hangzhou, right under the eyes of the King of Wu. The King of Wu has already seen the items in my house, and he doesn’t like any of them. This shop often finds rare items from the market, including heirlooms from poor families, so I came to take a look... Last time I heard Xu Shizi talking about the Ice Flower Hibiscus Pendant, I wanted to discuss with him to buy it and give it to King Wu. King Wu seemed to like it very much, but when I thought that Xu Shizi was going to celebrate King Wu's birthday, I gave up..."

This sentence is very skillful, pointing out that King Wu is very interested in rare jades, and then thought that Xu Buling wanted to give his jade to King Wu, so he didn't ask Xu Buling to buy it.

Since Xu Buling heard it, if he didn't take it out at the birthday banquet, he must be worried that Wang Ruiyang had told King Wu about it in advance, and King Wu was thinking about it for a long time but didn't give it to him. How embarrassing is it?

Last time we talked about the three jades in our hands, and told Wang Ruiyang on the spot that he couldn't give it to him, it would definitely reach King Wu's ears. Duoli. Jadeware is just a beautiful stone for the prince of a vassal state. Even if he can find the "Treasure Book of the Heaven", it will be more of an excuse to give it to King Wu to celebrate his birthday. Can he still feel sorry for such a small thing?

I don't know how long Wang Ruiyang spent discussing this sentence with his advisers last night. It seems to be a casual statement, but it blocks all the ways to refuse. When Xu Buling sits in front of King Wu at the banquet, even if he pretends not to know, King Wu will say "I heard Wang Ruiyang mention it a few days ago...", how to answer? I don't want to give up the jade pendant and don't want to give it to King Wu, so I didn't take it out?

Xu Buling didn't expect Wang Ruiyang to come up with such a clever excuse, but the hairpin is Fubao's token of love. If he gives it to King Wu, Fubao will be so angry that he will cry. It must not be given.

Xu Buling picked up the exquisite jade bracelet on the stage and looked at it for a few times, and put it on Nightingale's wrist:

"King Wu has this hobby? This is the first time I've heard of it. It's a pity that the jade was promised to the girl he loved. If the King of Wu really liked it, it would be fine to let him see it. "

This is obviously a bit inappropriate. Could it be that women are more important than the friendship between the princes? If the King of Wu heard this, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that Xu Buling dared to say this, Wang Ruiyang turned his eyes slightly, but did not say much, just chuckled and said: "The prince is really romantic and suave. The King of Wu loves jade. If he really likes it, I am afraid he will think about it for a long time..."

This sentence points out how much the King of Wu loves beautiful jade. Wang Rui can only say this much. Whether to give it to Xu Buling or not depends on Xu Buling.

Xu Buling chuckled and did not say anything else. After letting Nightingale pay for the bracelet, he said a few polite words and left the Jade Pavilion.

Wang Ruiyang sent the two out of the Jade Pavilion, watched Xu Buling go away, and then asked the staff next to him:

"From Xu Buling's tone, he didn't want to give it to the King of Wu, so he could only let the King of Wu observe it. His tone was very tough, and he was not afraid that the King of Wu would be dissatisfied. What should I do? "

The staff also frowned, a little worried. If Xu Buling really didn't want to give it, King Wu couldn't just rob it, and the Wang family couldn't go and rob the prince of a vassal king. After a little thought, he responded:

"Now that it's come to this, send a letter to King Wu to explain the situation. If you want to get the jade at all costs, you have to let King Wu send someone else to do it. "

Wang Ruiyang nodded gently, knowing that this matter was beyond his ability, and he stopped struggling. He turned around and walked to the second floor and began to write a letter...

--------

"Two bodies kissed each other and hugged each other, two guns stood side by side and stabbed the door, mandarin ducks played with mandarin ducks in the quilt, and played with the backyard in the backyard..."

"Good poem, good poem..."

"Mr. Xiao is really talented..."

In the elegant hall on the second floor of the Xiao Family Book Club, more than a dozen famous talents in Jinling gathered together, full of admiration. Xiao Ting, wearing the same scholar's robe as Xu Buling, wrote down the masterpiece he had worked hard on by the window.

Xu Buling walked slowly through the corridor and heard this meaningful "poem". He nodded slightly and felt that Xiao Ting had made some progress recently and could write poems by himself.

Nightingale touched the jade bracelet on her wrist and heard the voice inside, muttering softly:

"Mr., these are two couplets put together, and they are not neat... That's fine, what does "two guns stood side by side and stabbed the door" mean? "

Xu Buling's lips curled slightly and he explained casually: "Bayonet fighting, you won't understand even if I tell you."

The little nightingale was a little unhappy. She hesitated for a moment and snorted: "It's just Long Yangzhi... I read it in the book..."

"..."

Xu Buling had nothing to say. He raised his hand and flicked her forehead.

The book club is the property of the Xiao family. It is located next to the Jinling Poetry Club. Strictly speaking, it is a non-profit industry. It is more like a library. There are many rare and precious books for students in Jinling to borrow. This is also a way for the aristocratic families to accumulate reputation.

The book club is very large. There are several rooms on the third floor for the Xiao family members who come to Jinling to do business. Xiao Qi's office is on the inside, facing the Qinhuai River.

Xu Buling came to the study on the third floor of the book club. He looked up and saw that Xiao Qi was rarely sitting behind the desk to handle affairs. Instead, he clenched his fists and stood at the window looking at the second floor below, motionless.

She was still wearing a black long skirt, but the weather was getting colder. She had a shawl on her shoulders, long hair down to her waist, and a gourd-like figure, just like Xiang'er, exuding the charm of a woman.

After spending some time with Xiao Qi, Xu Buling could already accurately tell who was the elder sister. Although he could only see her from behind, he could still feel the chilling aura from Xiao Qi. If his calculations were correct, Young Master Xiao would not be able to go out for a month after returning home...
