Chapter 81
Chapter 81
This piece of jade is not in a busy city, but in a corner that is about to leave the city.
Duanmu Rui had heard about this place from Boss Fang before. Although he had never been there, it was easy to find.
Go south from the city until there are only sparse houses around. When you see a huge stone standing in front of a street, you will arrive at Yushi Street.
Duanmu Rui came out of the Nine Princes Mansion and felt very tired after walking for a while, thinking about the fetus in his womb, so he didn't dare to continue. He cruelly spent six taels of silver to rent a carriage. Soothes the legs and feet.
The coachman knew that place, and Duanmu Rui and the others walked for a long time before arriving there.
Duanmu Rui asked the coachman to wait for him outside, and he got off the car and entered the Yushi Street.
Sure enough, it looks very bleak on the outside, but there is a lot of space on the inside.
A street is not very long, but it is not short. From the entrance of the street, there are shops of different sizes. The large decoration shows that the shops are strong. As for the small ones, Duanmu Rui found that the worst thing is the banner at the door. The clothes have all turned white, and there is no sign of anyone alive in the store.
In addition, there are also stalls in front of the shop, and the stalls vary in size.
The stones placed on the large stalls are arranged according to size and appearance, while the small stalls may only have a small pile of stones.
Duanmu Rui thought that there would be no one here, but when he actually entered the street, he realized that there were many people squatting or standing in front of every stall, no matter how big or small.
There were not many customers coming in and out of the jade store, but Duanmu Rui saw through the doors and windows of some stores that they were not closed, and there were no people inside.
How should I find that person with open ears?Asking clearly is too revealing of the target, so we still have to check one by one.
Duanmu Rui was walking and watching, when suddenly there was a commotion in front of a booth.
His attention was drawn immediately.
"What's the matter?" Duanmu Rui leaned over and asked the person at the back.
"It seems that someone gambled out the ice seed!" The man didn't turn his head, "I don't know if it's an auction or kept!"
Duanmu Rui is not interested in this, he is only interested in the old man.
So he planned to leave, but the faint voice from inside made him stop.
"If it's for sale, the price is 1000 taels of silver. If it's for auction, the price starts at [-] taels!" The voice of this person made Duanmu Rui push forward involuntarily, but he didn't dare to go to the front.
It was okay not to hear this voice, but it was too familiar. It was the voice he heard when he was questioning the traitor with a gap in his ear in Liangping City.
At this time, when the stall owner repeated his content for this person, Duanmu Rui finally squeezed not far behind him.
Even the back view of that person made Duanmu Rui feel familiar.
The stall owner spared no effort to talk about the stone, looking at the color and pattern from the cut side, and then estimating the volume inside from the remaining size, the price will continue to rise after cutting a part.
Duanmu Rui saw such a big piece of broken stone, in his eyes, even a piece of broken stone with color can sell for so much money, he was a little uneasy, but seeing that person standing there motionless, he would not be so worried about it. Excited about the money.
He kept guessing what this person was doing, and suddenly remembered that Boss Fang had said that he was the one who made all the jade pieces in the betrothal gift returned by the Ninth Prince to the Queen Mother.
Thinking about it this way, he should be a master jade carver, so he is used to seeing expensive jade, so naturally he won't make a fuss when faced with these prices.
So it all seemed logical.
The price quoted by that person was discussed in the crowd, but no one dared to make a move.
The stall owner yelled and no one raised his hand, so the man then asked someone to open the stone.
Another piece of outer skin was peeled off, and the inside was still perfect, with the same light blue luster as before, without a single bubble inside, and then a new round of bidding began.
Duanmu Rui's eyes never left the person whose voice was familiar and whose ear was obviously missing.
He wanted to see where his lair was?
Bidding is still going on ahead, and there is a trend of more and more onlookers.
Duanmu Rui was squeezed to the point of being suffocated, he felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and people always had a tendency to bump into his stomach when they got excited.
He tried his best to withdraw from the crowd, found a hidden place and stared at the booth without blinking.
After a full hour and a half, the commotion caused by that booth finally stopped.
Duanmu Rui's eyes were tired from staring at him, but he still didn't dare to relax.
After the onlookers dispersed, Duanmu Rui saw the person in the innermost place.
After the man signed the contract with the stall owner, he hunched slightly and walked quickly in one direction.
Duanmu Rui didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly got up and followed.
Sure enough, that person was a guy who kept his secrets. The shop he entered was actually the most dilapidated jade shop on the street.
The banner at the door was rattled by the wind, but what was written on it could not be read clearly. There was a thick layer of rubbish in front of the door, and it was covered with messy footprints.
Even the door and window frames are in the tattered state, as if they could fall apart with a single push, and there is a lot of dust on the frames, and the inside of the glass can hardly be seen.
After that person entered, Duanmu Rui stared at the shop not far away for half an hour, seeing that he did not come out again, he was sure that the person was indeed from this shop.
Then he left here and returned to Fang Mansion full of worries.
Just missed lunch time after returning, Duanmu Rui ordered some cold rice and cold dishes from the dining room, and gnawed on the hard steamed buns in the dining room.
As he gnawed, he remembered the scene of being tied up in Liangping City.
At that time, it was cold water and cold steamed buns, but luckily the Ninth Prince came to the market, otherwise it would have been hard to protect at that time!
Duanmu Rui suddenly thought of a detail that he had overlooked, that is, the Ninth Prince had captured the traitor leader, General Li, and the second child's deputy, and then the fourth child, fifth child and sixth child who were trapped in the woodshed, As for how the third child was caught?
Duanmurui thought about it, it was he who foolishly thought that he had mentioned to the Ninth Prince that there was another accomplice of them in that jade shop, and then he saw the hunchbacked Huoer.
So, this Huo Er is a good person?Was he actually an undercover agent?
Duanmurui seemed to have discovered some new continent. He remembered that he was in a jade shop when he first discovered him, and it is said that he carved the jade that could be returned to the Queen Mother. He even remembered his waist badge. At that time, Not just anyone can compare!
Since they are a group of people, Duanmu Rui has developed some interest in him.
I don't know how that person sneaked into General Li's camp at that time, and even sworn three pawns!There must be a lot of interesting things during this, Duanmurui decided to continue to spend time in Minri, and continue to inquire without telling the Ninth Prince.
In the evening, I went back to the inn with Zhenzhen in my arms, and Xiaoyan sent a can of soup, and Jiuwangfu also sent people to bring some food made in their own kitchen.
Duanmu Rui was eating and drinking happily, listening to Xiaoyan's nagging.
Xiaoyan said that although Hu Ya is getting older, his temperament has not changed at all, so he knows to bully him, and besides helping out with some things every day, Hu Ya spends all day shirtless in the yard contacting knives and arrows. Almost became his shooting range.
And Xiaoyan and his wife have already packed almost everything, just waiting for the move tomorrow.
"Moving tomorrow? Didn't you mean ten days later?" Duanmu Rui was a little surprised.
"It's tomorrow, and tomorrow is ten days after what the Ninth Prince said last time!"
"Ah! I'm going to ask for leave tomorrow to help, what else should I prepare?" Duanmu Rui felt a little sorry.
"No need," Xiao Yan said proudly, "The Ninth Prince has prepared everything for Zhang Luo, even the carriage for moving, and everything in the new house, and you don't even need to buy the wife's rouge, the Ninth Prince has already bought everything!"
"When will we move?" Duanmu Rui asked, he has to be responsible for moving his own family!
"In the morning, I can leave after Zhang Luo is done. Both sides are my own home, so I don't care about the time!"
"Oh..." Duanmu Rui saw that it was getting dark outside, so he sent Xiaoyan away and hurried back. After that, he continued to be bored with Zhenzhen in his arms. After playing Zhenzhen for a day, he was already tired and fell asleep quickly while lying on the bed, while Duanmu Rui fell asleep. No, he lay on the bed thinking about what to prepare for tomorrow.
In the early morning, Duanmu Rui gave the waiter in the inn some errand fees, and sent him to send a leave letter to Fangfu.
Due to his negligence, he forgot to ask for leave from Fangfu on the first day of his family's relocation, so he could only pay the second child to deliver the letter.
But Duanmu Rui packed his bags and hugged Zhenzhen, rented a carriage and rushed to his home.
It didn't take long to arrive at the place, Duanmu Rui paid the silver, got off the car and opened the door to enter the yard.
The yard is not big, so there are some things piled up inside that make the yard crowded, and it seems that there are a lot of things, but Duanmurui knows best, they have been here for the past two years, except for the things owned by the original landlord, they seldom buy new ones. of.
So if you really want to count, there are not many boxes.
Compared with the fact that a rich family travels with more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages to carry their luggage, it is really not called luggage, let alone a thing.
Xiao Yan and Hu Ya rushed out, but Zhenzhen said, "What's the matter so early! Mrs. and Mrs. are still eating!"
"Come to help move, otherwise what else can I do?"
Hu Ya lowered his head and looked at his stomach, "Come on! Lei turned to you and turned back to the Ninth Prince to chop off our whole family!"
"Fart, he won't come..." As soon as the words finished, the voice of the Ninth Prince sounded behind him, "The carriage has stopped at the door, and you can move at any time!"
As soon as Duanmu Rui saw him, he felt happy, "I need you to worry about my parents' affairs!"
"It should be!" The Ninth Prince looked at him and smiled.
"It's all packed?" A voice sounded from the door, Duanmu Rui was taken aback, and turned around to greet the other party.
"Thank you for thinking," that person is Xiao Jue, long time no see! "It's just that my family's moving is nothing major. Xiaojue is here..." Duanmurui left a blank space, waiting for Xiaojue to fill in.
The Ninth Prince saw Duanmu Rui's stiff expression, and quickly explained, "Xiao Jue insists on following, and I can't help it..."
But Xiao Jue was talking to herself, "Duanmu's family took good care of me when I was in heat, so I must come to congratulate me on moving today!"
Duanmurui looked at the few empty rooms in the yard, suddenly became very nervous and threw a look at Xiaoyan.
Xiao Yan nodded her head slightly to express her agreement, but very skillfully put Ninth Prince and Xiao Jue on a box in the yard and sat on it.
