Chapter 884 (1/2)
”Empress dowager, this person is Yuqing, the third son of the jade family, the largest pearl merchant in Shengdu.” Lian Xiangyue introduced the Empress Dowager.
”When AI family was in Shengdu, I heard about the jade family. Over the years, the jade family also presented many treasures to the imperial court. The third childe of the jade family suddenly came to Beijing. What does it have to do with the Pearl of the Duke of Wei?” Asked the Empress Dowager.
Yuqing took off a sachet from her waist, took out two or three pearls from the sachet, presented them with both hands, and said, ”please have a look at my wife, Empress and princesses.”
The Empress Dowager nodded. Feng Degui took the Pearl to her. She looked at it and was stunned——
”These pearls seem to be the same as those presented by the Duke of Wei.”
The one and only be frightened and change color, Wei Tao Gong as like as two peas. ”No way, the Pearl of the little minister is unique in time. It is a rare thing.”
”However, if you look so carefully, these are indeed the same as your one, Duke Wei.” Feng Ling, the five princess who knew the Pearl, picked up one of them, looked at it carefully and said.
The Duke of Wei didn't believe it. He took it from Feng Ling's hand. When he saw it, he was stunned - it was the same, and there was more than one.
”No, empress dowager, it's fake. It's fake. It's deliberately to frame Weichen's loyalty!
Who is so vicious that he doesn't want the emperor's dragon body to recover. He must check it carefully! ”
The Duke of Wei looked very excited and looked wronged!
Yuqing smiled as like as two peas. ”The master of the Kingdom, this is a imitation of a pearl. It has to go through 77 or forty-nine processes. It takes a long time to complete, and it can not guarantee that it is exactly the same as the original.”
”What the hell is this bead?” Asked the Empress Dowager.
”Please have a look at the Empress Dowager.” Yuqing then took out a yellowing ancient book, opened it and said, ”there is a kind of Pearl recorded in this chronicle, which is the Pearl cried by the mackerel people, which is called jiaozhu.”
The people came together to have a look. Jiaozhu was described in detail in this ancient book.
”This jiaozhu is also a rare thing in the world, but it is not the only one. Our jade family has four jiaozhu. It took nearly ten years to find them when my great grandfather was alive. They are our family heirloom and do not take out.”
Yuqing explained to the crowd in a hurry.
”Yuqing, you said there were four jiaozhu in your jade family. How did you send them to the AI family, but there were only three and one?” Asked the Empress Dowager.
”This...” Yu Qing paused, looked at the Duke of Wei and said, ”on the night of Shangyuan Festival a year ago, I saw my father sighing in the pavilion and looking sad, so I came forward to ask what's the matter.
He said that his former benefactor came to him and asked for a jiaozhu, because his father had promised that as long as the benefactor came to him, he would agree to any conditions. Therefore, although his great grandfather had set family rules, no one was allowed to move the four jiaozhu.
But in order not to break his promise, his father had to be an unworthy descendant and asked jiaozhu to give it to his benefactor.
And my father, who had not been able to hold the jiaozhu, became ill for several years and died a few months ago.
Originally, I didn't know who my father's benefactor was. Until there was a place dedicated to providing body pearls in Shengdu, I went to see it out of my love for the Pearl.
At first glance, I knew that the so-called divine Pearl was originally the jiaozhu given by my father to his benefactor, and my father's benefactor turned out to be the Duke of Wei. ”
