Chapter 6 1. The meaning of drunkard

I didn't follow until Gong Feicui reached the center of the hall, and stayed in the corner without moving. It is my usual principle to never steal the limelight from my master, but there is still a gaze passing through everyone and falling on me. I raised my eyes, and it was Baili Chenfeng. I nodded slightly at him, his eyes flickered for a moment, but turned back. Over there, Gong Feicui had already stepped onto the stand, looked around at the crowd and said with a smile, "Thank you for being invited from a long distance to participate in the annual treasure exhibition. The Gong family has been engaged in the jewelry business since my great-grandfather, and it has been passed down to me for four generations. , has always abided by the rules of the industry, worked hard and did not dare to relax in the slightest. Now, although my father has passed away, the golden signboard of the palace family still exists. This time we are going to exhibit only seven treasures, but I believe that after reading They will all feel worthless.”

After finishing speaking, they clapped their hands, and the lights in the hall went out immediately, leaving only two weak lights in the corners, faintly reflecting the black curtain in front of them. Gong Feicui stepped forward and slowly opened the curtain, the sound of breathing in the hall suddenly increased. On the circular stand, a woman sat with her back to the crowd. A beam of light shone impartially on her back—that was naked, smooth skin, the color of ivory. The long bead chain hangs from the back, gently undulating with the breath, reflecting the light like water.And the end of the chain was biting between the woman's lips. She turned her head halfway, just enough for people to see her long eyelashes and plump red lips.

A natural stunner is enough to make people ecstasy, not to mention that string of pearls is peerless and round, there are no less than 300 pearls in a long string, all of the same size! I watched intently, Gong Feicui was really smart, unexpectedly came up with such a wonderful display method.Under the only light, I really don't know whether the beauty sets off the pearl or the pearl embellishes the beauty. "South Sea sandalwood beads." Gong Feicui said, "There are three hundred and sixty-five beads in total, which means that there are three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, and every day is perfect."

She introduced it very simply because everyone here is an expert, and she doesn't need to say anything to know that finding so many pearls of the same size is by no means an easy task. As far as the current situation is concerned, there is only such a string in the world. The curtain fell, covering the beauty and the pearl together. From the faces of the guests, I could see that something was missing, even Xiao Zuo, who had been smiling all the time, lowered his head a bit strangely. Why, was he also shocked by Gong Fei Cui's wonderful creativity?Very good, it seems that the first piece of jewelry has aroused everyone's interest, which is a good start.

My gaze and Gong Feicui's gaze intersected in the air, and they smiled at each other. The curtain was opened for the second time, but this time, the breathing of the guests became softer. It took a long time before the exclamation sounded, which showed that everyone was extremely impressed by what they saw. A woman in a black robe sat on a black Persian carpet, with her head buried in her knees, her long hair hanging down, and only one hand inserted between her hair, as white as jade.She wore a fiery red bracelet on her hand, and just a little bit of red brightened the entire hall. Of course, that's just a foil, that's all.

The real focal point is a black jade vase next to the woman at her height. The vase is carved from a whole piece of black jade, the color of the jade is not pure, with white in between, but the sculptor is very clever, he carved the black part into a pile, and the white part into a plum. In this way, the black branch and white plum contrast sharply, which is really impressive. People are overwhelmed! I completely understand why everyone lost their composure when they faced that vase, because when I first saw it, I was really shocked, and there are only four words to describe it—extraordinary workmanship.

As for Gong Jade, she obviously knows how to highlight its essence.It was the beginning of spring at this time, and she got a few red plums from nowhere and put them in a vase.That gorgeous color is like a red bracelet on a woman's hand, embellished with black and white, but also highlighting black and white, and finally lost to black and white. "The name of this vase is 'Dark Fragrance Floating'." Sparse shadows and slanting water, clear and shallow water, dark fragrance floating in moon dusk.Thanks to her for coming up with the name!I praised again in my heart, this woman's business talent is probably still higher than her father's.

The curtain is closed, everyone's curiosity has been adjusted to the highest point, and they are looking forward to what surprises the third treasure will bring them, when the black curtain is opened, there is only a wooden shelf inside, hanging Wearing a string of gold and non-gold and silver and non-silver waist ornaments, it looks ordinary. Everyone seemed very disappointed, and to be honest, even I was a little surprised: what kind of treasure is this? Although I was nominally in charge of this exhibition, the seven treasures were selected by Gong Feicui herself, and no one knew about it except herself.

I saw her walking to the side of the frame and gently rubbing the object with her fingers, and there was a crisp and pleasant sound when the rings collided. "At this moment, everyone must be thinking about what this thing is..." Gong Feicui smiled leisurely, and raised her hand at a maidservant, "Come here." The servant girl walked to the lamp and blinked curiously. Gong Feicui suddenly turned cold, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what you did wrong?" The servant girl was taken aback, not knowing why. Gong Feicui turned to me and said, "Sister Xiansu, kill her!"

What?I was taken aback.Everyone was in an uproar, and the servant girl fell to her knees, trembling, "Eldest, young lady... maidservant..." Gong Feicui didn't even look at her, she stared at me and said with a cold voice, "What are you waiting for?" All the people present looked at me in unison, and a certain string in my heart suddenly became tense.No matter what, I can't disobey her orders in full view, otherwise, what is the prestige of the young master of the palace family? I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again to look at the maidservant, there was no expression left.The fingers are lightly raised, soundless, colorless and odorless.

"Su Wen", named after the Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, is another poison I created myself, deadly but gentle. The maid immediately collapsed limply, with a peaceful expression, as if she had fallen asleep. Gong Feicui glanced around the stunned faces of the crowd, and sighed softly: "It's so poisonous!" As she spoke, she stepped forward and cut the maidservant's fingertips, and the blood from the wound had turned blue. She took off the string of ornaments and moved them to the wound. The blood seemed to be alive, and immediately flowed to it automatically, and was quickly absorbed. When the blood color turned from green to red, the maid let out a moan and woke up leisurely. No, it's impossible... That's plain question!No one understands its toxicity better than me, it seems gentle but actually violent, how could it be like this... I stared at this scene with wide eyes, as if I was dreaming. Gong Feicui ordered the two to help the maidservant up, although she was pale and her steps were sloppy, she really came back to life! My hands and feet were suddenly cold. Gong Feicui caressed the jewelry in her hand and said: "Now everyone understands its purpose? This is the Hualin lock, which can absorb hundreds of poisons. If you wear it normally, it can also prevent ordinary poisonous miasma." I stared at her blankly, the string of ornaments was so dazzling in her hands, every time I shook it, it burned my heart. Gong Feicui walked in front of me, and said with a soft smile: "Sister Xiansu is so scared! Don't worry, although this Hualin lock is magical, it must be used within an hour after being poisoned, and it can only be used once a day. .” People who use poison have met such a nemesis, what else can I say?Only wry smile.In a blink of an eye, I found that Baili Chenfeng and Xiao Zuo were both looking at me, and the former's eyes revealed a slight pity. My heart skipped a beat.Suddenly seeing his thick eyebrows raised, he raised his voice and asked, "There are still four treasures that have not been exhibited?" Gong Feicui was waving her hand to make people pull up the curtain, when she heard this, she turned around and said, "Yes." Baili Chenfeng shook his head and said, "No." Gong Feicui frowned and said, "No?" Baili Chenfeng explained: "No, it means that there are no treasures, none of them." Gong Feicui was stunned, and I couldn't help being surprised. Baili Chenfeng stared at me with scorching eyes, and said word by word, "Because, I have bought all these seven treasures." As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall was shocked. Everyone thought he was joking, but I don't think he was even joking at all. Gong Feicui stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled and asked, "Did you buy them all?" "yes." Gong Feicui said: "It seems that you don't care about the prices of these seven treasures, so should I care?" "What do you care about?" "Your conditions!" Gong Feicui said lightly, "Or, your real purpose." I couldn't help but nod my head when I heard the words - the drunkard's intention is not to drink.Although Baili City is rich and prosperous, there is no need to spend a lot of money to buy these things that can only be seen but not eaten.So what exactly does he want? But Baili Chenfeng refused to explain his words. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Among the seven treasures, which one is the 'Gold-Gold Tricobalt Pestle-patterned Silver Gaga Vase'?" My eyes lit up and I immediately understood. Gong Feicui showed a look of wariness on her face, obviously she also understood, she pursed her lips and replied: "Ranked eighth." Fearing that everyone might not understand, she imitated Baili Chenfeng's tone and explained: "The eighth meaning is that it is exhibited as an additional finale treasure, and it is only on display and not for sale!" The last four words were spoken firmly without any room for maneuver, and Baili Chenfeng fell silent again. This time he was silent for a long time before he said, "So, can I borrow it?" I frowned, and countless thoughts flashed through my mind.Baili City has always been mysterious and arrogant. For the past ten years, the Gong family has sent invitations to them every year, but they have always ignored them. Only this year, someone was suddenly sent here, and he was the number one expert in the city. He focused his attention on the Gong family. What is the purpose of the most cherished family heirloom from generation to generation? "Forgive me for being difficult to agree, unless..." Gong Feicui said, "You can give me a good enough reason." Baili Chenfeng stood up slowly, and said in a deep voice: "The lord of this city passed away three days ago. He is a tantric believer, and his greatest hope is to use the clean bottle used by the Living Buddha to save him after death—that's the reason." The lord of Baili City, Baili Famous, is dead? !I was shocked. Although this reason is not very good, it is enough to shock the whole world!
