Chapter 31 Section five

Time: Shen Shizheng, quarter two (according to today's time, it should be 4:30 p.m.). Location: Unknown Villa, Qifengzhai. The third young master covered his ears and fell to the ground in pain, but Ning Xin'er still didn't care, she shook her head and played the pipa in front of her. Her graceful and slender fingers, as cruel and ruthless as a butcher, ruthlessly across the strings, Noisy and dissonant notes murdered the tranquility of the mountains.Fortunately, a person came over at the right time, and Ning Xin'er knew him, so she was embarrassed to continue playing, and stopped in resentment.

The visitor said to Ning Xin'er: "The old man is really lucky today. He heard the girl playing the piano as soon as he came here. It seems that the old man is really good-natured. It will be another three months without knowing the taste of meat." Ning Xin'er felt at ease from his praise, and said, "Master Lu has praised you." The third young master had already sat up from the ground at this time, and continued: "Master Lu is indeed too generous, the more you praise her, the more interested she will be in playing the piano, and the more my ears will suffer."

Ning Xin'er gave him a hard look, and said: "Playing the piano to a cow is better than playing it to you." The third son said: "Master Lu is here, today I will kill you a few times." Master Lu said: "I won't play chess today, but I will bring someone to play with you." The third son said: "Okay, hurry up and invite me. I dare to come here because I heard that I am very good at chess." Ning Xin'er said: "You are really thick-skinned." The third young master said: "Even though I have a thick skin, but my eardrums are very thin, please be merciful in the future, miss, and don't deafen me with the sound of the piano."

Master Lu left.After a while, Master Lu went and returned, but he brought not one person, but two people. One of them has a pale face, expressionless, tall and tall, with a long knife on his back, a tall and straight torso, and silver hair hanging down. As soon as he walked over, the bleakness exuding from him made this lively Spring seems to have suddenly entered autumn with fallen leaves. The other person has a white face and no beard, a round face with big ears, a slightly chubby figure, wearing a purple robe and a jade belt, and walks steadily with every step, with a graceful demeanor and soft eyes.Although there are no signs of identity on his body, it can still be seen at a glance that this person must be a rich and powerful person.He was like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and the eyes of the third son were shining brightly.

Master Lu said: "This is the Third Young Master, and this is Mr. Bai." As for the man with the long knife, Master Lu did not introduce him, and the Third Young Master didn't bother to ask.He wholeheartedly hoped to spread out the chessboard as soon as possible and make a big kill. Mr. Bai nodded and said: "I have heard for a long time that the third son is not very good at chess, but he is very addicted to chess. He is aggressive on the chessboard, but often his own dragon dies in anger." The third son laughed loudly and said, "Master Lu's comment, I think it's hard not to admit it."

Mr. Bai smiled slightly, and said: "It so happens that I am also a stinky chess player. We happen to be the same, so we can have a good kill." The third son said: "Okay, we must have a good time." The two sat down and exchanged greetings first. "Dare to ask Mr. Bai's name taboo, and what kind of business do you do?" "My surname is Bai, my first name lives, and I live in Bai. I am engaged in jewelry business in the Jianghuai area." "Bai Zhu, interesting name." The third young master said. "You must have two brothers, one named Bai Chi and one named Bai Drink." Ning Xin'er interjected.

Bai Zhudao: "The girl is really smart, she can guess right away, there is no business and no adultery, the three of us, one eats for free, one drinks for free, and the other lives for free, so we can accumulate some meager wealth. Come here, there is heaven, There is Hangzhou Xiaoyao in Suzhou and Hangzhou." The two sat down, the chessboard was set up, after guessing first, Bai Zhu held Bai first, Bai Zhu picked out a white piece from the chess box, and was about to drop the piece, the third young master suddenly said: "Wait a minute, Mr. Bai." Bai Zhu paused with his gestures in the air, and asked, "What advice, Young Master?"

The third son said: "You and I have never met each other. You have lived in Jianghuai for a long time, and I have stayed in Jiangnan for a long time. Today, we have a chance to meet and have a hand-to-hand conversation. It is also a fate. Why don't you come to win the prize to help you feel good? I don't know what Mr. Bai thinks?" Master Lu hurriedly interjected, "Third Young Master, you can't do it, you can't do it." But Bai Zhu smiled and said: "Master Lu, it's all right. I think it's very good to have a lottery. I don't know what the third son wants to bet on."

The third young master said: "Mr. Bai is in the jewelry business, so I will bet on a bright pearl." Bai Zhu said: "Oh? Young Master, you should know that even though Bai is not talented, ordinary pearls are not valued." "The Pearl of the East China Sea." Bai Zhu asked, "What's so strange about this bead?" The third son said: "It is said that in the past, Dayu used to control the waters and passed through the East China Sea. When a dragon was stirring up wind and waves, Dayu swung his sword to cut it, disemboweled him and got this pearl. This pearl shines brightly every night. Within a hundred miles, It’s as bright as day, and you don’t need to light a lamp for reading and painting.”

Bai Zhu was shocked and said: "There are such rare things in the world? Can you introduce Bai's opinion?" The third son said: "No." "Could it be that the young master is worried that Bai will suddenly become greedy and try to snatch it?" "No, it's just that this bead is not at the moment." "Since there is no physical evidence, it is worth not to gamble in this game." "Otherwise, as long as you can win against me, I promise to deliver Donghai Yemingzhu to your residence within three days." Bai Zhu said: "Okay, Bai will trust you once, if I lose, I will give you a thousand taels of gold and a hundred luxurious houses."

The third son said: "If you lose, I just need to borrow the jade pendant from your waist for a while, and I will definitely return it after three days." "Bai has been in the jewelry business for many years, so he still has some self-knowledge. Although this jade pendant is of high quality and finely carved, it is by no means priceless. I don't know why the young master gave up thousands of taels of gold and a hundred acres of fertile land. Do you have a special liking for Chun Yupei?" "I can't say, I can't. The buyer is different. Mr. Bai thought this jade pendant was not very rare, but I thought the value of this jade pendant was even higher than that of the East China Sea Night Pearl. How about it? Mr. Bai, would you like to use this jade pendant as a bet? " Bai Zhu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and said: "This is the first time for Bai to experience such an interesting game of gambling, and Bai will accompany you to the game." Finally, Bai Zhu lightly landed the first white piece on the upper right corner, and made a small note. Fly, fly to the star position.
