The sky was slightly bright.

A few glimmers of light fall on the eaves and green steps, like the shadows of birds flying across the sky and stopping here. The light at this moment is pure, clear and soft, still penetrating by itself

Early mornings in the capital are always lively. Compared with the tranquility of the dim time, the bustling traffic and the bustling vitality are not particularly rough and intense. As if after a night of recuperation, it slowly grew out of the land and released fresh vitality.

-Everything has its own cause and effect. The Emperor is sitting in the Mingtang. It is a good year this year, and even the sound of carriages and horses during the day carries a bit of laziness that will come after the new year.

Nanjing's residential buildings have always been known for their elegance. Youdao has a wall with green bricks and small tiles and a horse head, a corridor with shrubs and an embroidered pavilion. Inside the green tiles and pink walls, I don’t know how much scenery is hidden.

Take this house in Jinjiefang as an example. The appearance is unremarkable, but it is the residence of Lord Zuo Chengdai, the fourth rank of official worship and the current minister. Inside, there are layers of courtyards, high ridges and cornices, pavilions and waterside pavilions. Last year, Mr. Dai took a concubine and had a huge banquet. Hundreds of people were seated, and even half of the courtyard was not seated. It was so grand. At this time, three idle men were leaning against the wall and drinking. They drank in large gulps and had to speak in a low voice.

There has always been a curfew in the capital, and those who violate the law at night can be executed on the spot if the circumstances are serious. In the teahouse, everyone talks about the strict laws and regulations of the previous dynasty, and everyone is frothing at the mouth. The policemen often caught good-hearted residents and whipped them on the spot. The sounds of whips and rings and the sound of lashings on flesh were all learned as if they had been witnessed with their own eyes, and they had happened in the past. Today he is three hundred and sixty years old. Hearing this, he suddenly looked down and saw the storyteller's big face, which was no more than thirty-six inches tall. In shock, he sprinkled a handful of melon seeds on the stage.

Although this dynasty does not introduce harsh torture laws, the severity of the curfew is far less severe than that of the previous dynasty.

But if the police saw you sitting on the street drinking just after dawn, they would arrest you and slap you with a slap on the wrist.

The three of them all worked in Mr. Dai's house. I was so slow last night that I had nowhere to go. Only under the wall, fortunately, there is wine to drive away the cold. When he met the watchman and the soldiers, he hid on the straw mat by the wall. When he was cold, he drank wine to keep out the cold, but he managed to stay up all night. Soon after, the door of Dai's mansion opened. The three of them were still talking nonstop.

Apart from the fact that wine can keep out the cold, the only thing that can make the sleepy mind clear up is all kinds of weird stories. Especially the more bizarre and eccentric it is, the more it stimulates the mind. The three of them relied on this trick to survive the night. I don't want to fall asleep when I'm done.

"Whoever says anything else, it's almost dawn, so we can't stay here.

One of the idle men slapped his forehead and whispered.

"I thought of it. Have you heard about it? The thing about the shell inlaid with white stone.

Another idle guy winked and said in a strong local accent: "What? What the hell is that?'

Seeing that he didn't know, the storyteller grinned, showing two yellow teeth, and continued telling the story triumphantly.

Among the three hundred and sixty lines, jade is considered a rather strange line.

Lanes are opened on the streets, stalls are set up facing the sky, and pedestrians do not avoid them. What he sells are beautiful jade treasures, and he is in the business of making clear artifacts. However, most of the jade merchants did not yell and closed their eyes slightly. If there is a buyer, there will be no fuss, just let them enjoy it. No matter how many times you try, you won't find a top-quality piece. It was only when I met a suitable buyer that I took out a piece from nowhere for the guest to appreciate carefully. The prices are high and the prices are always high. After selling it, he put the valuable jade away and waited for it to come to his door like nothing happened. The eyebrows are not raised, which gives people a sense of mystery that hides secrets. especially

What I want to talk about this time is not OK, but shop.

The jades in the capital are clearly laid out, there are not many in number, and they are easy to find. In short, there are four cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest. After visiting the four cities several times, in terms of the transparent texture of the jade and the superior materials, it is generally recognized that the jade in the west of the city is the best.

The storefront of the "Beijing Baishi" store located in Jian'anfang in the west of the city is small and may not be obvious at first glance, but the gold-lettered signboard erected outside the door has actually been through a longer period of time. The Bei family has been a jade merchant in the capital for seven generations, and they are considered to be well off. When it comes to wealth, there are countless jewelry and jade merchants in Nanjing who can’t even be named. But no one can take away the word "Xingzun". It's like their golden signboard that was always there before.

There has always been no shortage of rising stars in jade and treasure shops in the capital, such as 'Bizhoucheng' and 'Qingshanxiu'. Although they have enjoyed good times for a decade or two, they are not considered time-honored. When it comes to using jade and stones in the capital, they are used for the enjoyment of princes and princes, and for the engraving of official seals. , or even select jade articles for use in the palace. The first one is Luo Xuezhuang, who specializes in dealing with princes. The second choice was not any other rich and luxurious store, but this 'shell-inlaid white stone' one. There is no other reason than the word ‘no mistake’.

The Bei family are authentic jade merchants. Along with the most traditional craftsmanship, it is also inherited. They started cultivating craftsmen, and it often took them twenty or thirty years to become an artist with a keen vision and exquisite craftsmanship. Others can't wait, but they can. Today, the chief jade craftsman who inlays white stones is named Chai. He is a jade carver who dares to be called Jia Jiangnan. He can be described as a miraculous craftsman.

The boss of the Bei family of this generation is a conservative man with little courage, a kind face and a soft heart. Moreover, there is an evil wife in the family, and she is often scolded by her daughter-in-law until she cannot hold her head up. It was Chai Yujiang who never gave up and never left. It is said that Chai Yujiang was homeless when he was a teenager, and it was the Beidong family who persuaded his parents to take him in as an apprentice. This is called gratitude. The bosses in the industry who had tried to recruit Chai Yujiang but were hit with a wall all said that Beidong's family was blessed with such a famous craftsman. Overtly it was a compliment, but secretly it was saying that the Beidong family was incompetent. The sourness in the words was almost as stinging as the sound of Mrs. Bei scolding her husband.

The shell-inlaid white stone is still operating normally, even if it has been a hundred years, but a strange thing has happened recently.

The jade craftsman had an only daughter who was fifteen years old and very pretty. Childhood sweethearts with Bei Dong, the eldest son, and childhood sweethearts. Chai Yujiang always felt that Mrs. Bei was mean and was afraid that his daughter would suffer misfortune if she married into the Bei family. I'm just used to being pampered, but I can't stand my daughter's coquettish behavior. I couldn't reach a conclusion after discussing with my wife. When I was extremely troubled, I still thought of my boss's kind expression and his voice that was always so kind, as if Master Bei had invited Miss Chai to watch the lanterns years ago. When he came back, there was only Master Bei, and his appearance frightened the Beidong family even more. The young master was beaten until his face was covered with blood. He almost lost more air than in. He was already unconscious. Somebody on the roadside knew that this was the owner of the shell-inlaid white stone, so he was carried back after being seen. -I went to help him, but Master Bei, who was in a coma, screamed in pain, and only then did he realize that one of his legs was broken.

That night, Chai Yujiang went to Bei's house to ask for someone, but Mrs. Bei drove her out with a rolling pin in a frantic manner. When he asked the reason, all he got was Mrs. Bei's wide-open eyes and scolding: "Your daughter's sin has harmed my son, and you have the nerve to ask? I lost my daughter and had another life."

Chai Yujiang said blankly: "How could Madam-in-law speak like this? What evil could I, Ning'er, do? My daughter was lost when I was traveling with your young master. How could you not give me an explanation?"

But he got a sneer in return: "Without my husband, would you be worse than a pig or a dog today? Don't ask if you want to kill me!" In the end, he didn't even see his boss.

When leaving, I glanced at Master Bei's miserable condition and knew something was wrong. However, she could not ignore her daughter's disappearance and had no choice but to file a complaint in court. However, the friendly servants who were called by the master before and after the master in the past were all looking at him with cold eyes at this time. If you go to the hall, you will get everything.

Another half month passed, and everything seemed to be back to normal. The shell inlaid with white stone opened like a house, the young master came out again on crutches to settle accounts for his father, and the wife's voice scolding her husband was still so loud and harsh.

Only the Chai family lost their daughter.

Only then did Chai Yujiang suddenly realize that his daughter was not missing. He was abducted.

"Hey, how about this story?" Huangya Xianhan was very proud, as if it was his own

The buck-toothed man with a strong local accent had his eyes wide open, as if his eyes were about to fall out.

"Is this the case? How can we say that it is now the case? What happened next? Did Miss Chai come back? Was she taken away by someone who killed her?'

The yellow-toothed man laughed. Not great? If he hadn't been staying in Bei's small shop, he would have been worth ten times. How many people begged him to show his hand. When such a person enters the yamen, he will rush to do things first according to the temper of the official. When it was over, Craftsman Chai Yu came to the door to give gifts, but they were all in vain. But why was he driven back by the official? Besides, the Bei family was not a wealthy family. It is also a well-known time-honored brand in Jian'anfang. Their young master had his leg broken, how could he really turn a blind eye? Are you willing to let your brother go?'

"That's impossible!" The buck-toothed man's eyes widened, and he banged the wall and said, "Whoever touches my son, I will fight him to the death!"

"Take it! Even you know how hard it is to fight. Why can the Bei family swallow it?" At this point, even though there was no one around, he still couldn't help but glance around, and then said: "This kidnapper, come here." The road must not be easy. If he is not a high-ranking official, he must be the evil star in the green forest. The yellow-toothed man touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Hey, I, I only know this much from hearsay. No matter how much more you go to Jian'anfang, I don't know either. After listening to it for so long, you can't say a few words."

-The other man who had been listening to the story quietly took a sip of wine and said.

"I do know the sequel to this story.'

The other two people opened their eyes wide: "You know?"

Seeing that the two of them were interested, the man smiled slightly. But he was not as excited as the man with yellow teeth. Instead, he looked a little solemn.

"Yesterday I was carrying rice in Jian'anfang, and when I arrived at the door of Bei's house, I saw it with my own eyes.

I heard that Miss Chai has been missing for a month. Mrs. Chai frantically searched for her daughter all over the city. She asked people to find connections and then prayed to God, but she found nothing. After encountering several scammers, half of the Chai family's life savings was wiped out in an instant. The lady became ill due to madness and fainted on the way to offer incense.

After settling his wife, Mr. Chai Yujiang got up silently and came to Bei's house.

When he walked into the house, Beidong's family was looking at a jade bowl. It was Chai Yujiang's first work when he was a boy. When I looked up, I saw Chai Yujiang. At this moment, it seemed that the young apprentice who was more serious than anyone else was in front of me again. It seems like half a lifetime has passed by me, and when I look back, I have spots on my temples.

The old craftsman, who was over fifty and had spent half his life in the shop, was silent. Stretching out his right hand, he didn't know when he was holding the knife in his left hand, and he chopped it down with the knife. Amid his boss's exclamations, blood kept flowing down. The old craftsman knocked his head to the ground, but still found nothing.

He won't say. Apart from returning the craftsmanship to his employer, he didn't know what else to do.

The always cowardly Beidong family did not help him. He gritted his teeth and rushed into the inner hall quickly. After a while, a woman's fierce yelling came from inside, which was more harsh than usual. Then there was a slap and the sound of someone knocking down a scaffolding. When Bei Dong came out again, his eyes were red and he was carrying a heavy bag.

The edge of the bag was slightly exposed, and gold could be faintly seen. It seemed that the bag was actually a bag of gold ingots. In addition, there is a small wooden sign with one word on it. The man carrying the rice was illiterate and didn't know it. There was a word engraved on it.

The Beidong family stuffed the money and wooden tokens into the arms of Chai Yujiang. Regardless of his refusal, he said in a deep voice: "You can use this money to manage it. You will definitely use it."

The Wen brand...was given to my father by a hero. He said that if you are in trouble, you can use this thing to ask for help.

The man with yellow teeth and the man with buck teeth looked at each other and said in unison

: “Who can I turn to for help?”

"The owner of the shell inlaid with white stone only said seven words later-'Take it and go find the six doors.'

The story ends here.

The time was almost up, and the three of them took a few steps to disperse the smell of alcohol. After talking like this, the three of them all felt excited even though they expressed themselves in different ways. The man with yellow teeth is beaming with joy, and the man carrying rice has no expression on his face.

Only the buck-toothed one actually had a silly smile on his face, wondering what he was thinking.

"Brother, what are you thinking? This story is so tragic, why are you still like this?

"Go away." The buck-toothed man said, "Miss Chai is the same child as me, so I sympathize with her. But, I do know something about these six doors.'

"what do you know?"

"Last time. I went to deliver soap nuts, and the car was full of soap nuts. I delivered them to the six-door courtyard. As soon as the door opened, a woman came out.

After the two told the story, they both wanted to know the situation of the six doors, and asked together: "Oh? What's wrong?"

The buck-toothed man patted his thigh and sighed.

"What a girl! I have never seen such a beautiful girl in my life!!"

The two of them were left speechless. The buck-toothed man was still sighing.

"That, that white, that, that beautiful."

-Looking at the eyes of the two of them, he said in a panic: "Don't believe it. I really saw it, just, eh! Just like her!"

Suddenly, their noses smelled a gust of fragrance. They shouldn't be able to smell it from so far away, but when they saw her, they felt that she should smell so good.

That is a very beautiful woman.

She has an indescribably beautiful face. In the dim light of the morning, a few rays of light seeped into the white, almost transparent skin. The skin between the slightly exposed wrists is as smooth as powder and as tender as pear petals. The slender arms hidden in the sleeves are as graceful and slender as a swan's neck. Even if you don't look at it deliberately, you can still know the beauty of a woman's curves. In addition to the smooth lines, there are also thick, plump, and proudly tall pear circles.

Accompanied by the mist, she stepped on the ground almost silently, unable to hear any sound. I saw the slender and straight legs intertwined, and Junbu's seductive breast curves popped out. After the palpitations subsided, I realized that her walking posture was so elegant and beautiful. He couldn't help but blush.

She doesn't need any words to prove her beauty.

What attracts her is not her beautiful appearance. And it seems that her behavior, her expression, it seems that there is always a half-smile on her lips. It was both provocative and teasing.

Behind her were a group of girls, ranging in age, most of them young and young. This should be the season when plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums are in full bloom. There seemed to be no color at all in front of her.

The girl walked to the door of Dai's house, almost without stopping, she kept walking forward and said something at the same time.

"Kelan.

"Yes." The girl beside him replied.

"Smash it open.

A long-legged girl in blue clothes next to her suddenly flew forward, took out a hammer from her waist, and smashed it down without hesitation. There was a muffled sound in front of Dai Mansion's door, and the door flew away with a bang, shattering the copper and wood on the ground.

The Dai family has its own servants who keep watch at night. The people at the door seemed to be capable of martial arts, but when they saw Lan Kelan's terrifying reputation, they trembled with fear, not to mention fighting back.

"Who, who is acting wild in Dai Mansion!!" The housekeeper had already woken up and rushed over yelling curses.

When I got there, my eyes were wide open. In front of her, I couldn't even say a word.

"Tell your master.

She seemed unfazed. Apparently already used to the man's reaction to her, he smiled lightly.

"The girl from the six gates is fast, numbered zero, different from hole to hole, bright and beautiful, come to him for tea.

The housekeeper entered the master's bedroom almost dizzy. Without speaking clearly, he almost forced Mr. Dai out of bed, who was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms. Later I heard that I got sick because of this, and I was still confused until I was fired and went home.

“S-Sir, please come.

"Suffering from birth."

The girl then walked in with the girls, and there were a few people standing at the door, seemingly out to support them. As soon as she disappeared from sight, three people at the door

Suddenly, that charming little melon poked his head out of the door. The three of them suddenly felt that spring flowers were blooming in front of their eyes, and the world had color again.

"There are some people over there who are drinking on the street before dawn..."

The stunning girl squinted her eyes like a cat and smiled.

Xiaoji

"You have to take me back to hit the board. Don't forget it.
