There is only a hundred meters away from the coffee shop to the jewelry city, Bao Le thought as he walked, and then it really reminded her of it.The so-called Xinyi actually refers to magnolia in ancient Chinese. If you want to say magnolia flower, she must have remembered it a long time ago.

When helped Shen Wangyan open the land of enlightenment, one of the eight murals had a magnolia in it.

Bao Le can still remember that that mural is very different from the other ones, because the perspective of the other seven paintings is either normal or overlooking, which is also the basic perspective of Chinese classical paintings.But the one with magnolia flowers is not, it is looking up.In the center of the picture is a magnolia flower falling on the water surface, and the perspective of the painter is a state of looking up at the water surface from below the water surface.In the painting, there is a magnolia tree on the bank, and the tree is full of pure white magnolia flowers. A person leans down on the bank and puts his hand into the water, causing ripples that want to spread out.

But if magnolia flowers appear in the mural, it means that this incident may also be closely related to the ancient survivors. No wonder Jiang Ning refused to let Qin Yao and Captain Han follow.

The three of them walked to the intersection with the words "Jewelry City" written on it, facing their destination, but the green light had just turned red at that time.

While waiting for the countdown, something happened.At first, Bao Le just felt that someone bumped into her, and then a football rolled out in front of her. The person who hit Bao Le was a four or five-year-old child who was chasing the football and stepped on the road that was still under the red light.road.Hearing a shrill whistle, Bao Le reacted and wanted to catch the child.

Just as she was about to reach out her hand, a strange scene appeared, and the time around her stopped visibly to the naked eye.

The car that was supposed to pass by stopped a few centimeters in front of the zebra crossing, and all pedestrians kept their movements in the previous second. The milk poured into the cup by the staff of the milk tea shop was suspended in mid-air, and the countdown to the traffic lights on the opposite side of the street stayed forever.31 on the number.

Everyone around did not respond, even Jiang Ning, who was not a human being.

And Bao Le is the only exception. Although she can feel the stagnation of time around her and she has her own consciousness, her body is no different from the people around her, unable to move or make a sound.

About a minute later, Bao Le felt that he could move, and everything around him returned to normal.

Bao Le looked at Jiang Ning, who gave her a blank look, and didn't even notice the vision just now.

Thinking of something, the little girl quickly looked towards the road. The red light on the opposite side showed a countdown of 28, and the car with the horn had already driven a few meters away.On the other side of the street, the kid who bumped into her just now was standing under the traffic light, holding his soccer ball in his hand, crying sadly because he was frightened, which aroused the concern of several female students around.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Ning found out that something was wrong with her and asked.

Bao Le looked around and found nothing, so he could only shake his head: "Maybe I was wrong."

Jiang Ning didn't think she was really wrong, she raised her eyebrows and didn't point it out.

...

The Jewelry City in Beijing Guanyuan mainly deals in nine categories of Tianyu, Jadeite, Shoushan Stone, Pearl, Crystal, Agate, Red Sapphire, Diamond, Gold and thousands of varieties of mid-to-high-end jewelry products.The Jinghua Hall is located in the most crowded area of the center. The first half is the exhibition hall, and the second half is the store. Every customer will receive a brochure as soon as they enter the door, which introduces the famous exhibits and products of the store in detail.If you stay in front of a certain showcase for more than three minutes, a professional person will come forward to give you an explanation.

The shop staff, women wear blue brocade cheongsams, and men wear plain gowns and mandarin jackets.

Don't say it, it really makes a lot of sense.

Bao Le and Jiang Ning turned the exhibition hall to two sides, but they didn't gain anything, so they walked to the shops behind.Although this Jing Huatang mainly deals in all kinds of jade, agate and jadeite, there is no carving style of magnolia flower.

Jiang Ning grabbed a staff member: "Why don't you even have magnolia chalcedony in your shop?"

The employee was still smiling professionally, but when he heard this, his expression changed, and the look in their eyes seemed to confirm that they were here to mess things up.

Bao Le squeezed Jiang Ning's waist, and signaled her not to cause trouble with her eyes. Jiang Meiren innocently raised her hand, and communicated with Bao Le with her eyes, expressing innocently that it was the employee who was narrow-minded, and sheBut nothing was done.

Bao Le stood in front of Jiang Ning and cleared his throat: "May I ask if someone has ordered magnolia chalcedony from your place recently?"

Impatient with being entangled, the employees of Jing Huatang simply started to chase people away: "We don't have this kind of chalcedony here. If you want it, you might as well go to other shops. There are so many jewelry stores in Jewelry City, there must be one you wantneed."

"Hey, you," Bao Le thought, what's the matter with this guy, he speaks nicely and still doesn't give face, doesn't he say that the customer is God, "I'm going to order in your store today, why don't you look down on me?Hey, I don't look like a rich man, go and call your boss!"

It was the first time for the little girl to speak so confidently after growing up so big, after all, she is now a millionaire.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't accept her tricks at all, and chased her away with determination, and even prepared to call the security guard.

When everyone is deadlocked.

"sweet wine."

A voice came from far away, it sounded warm and moist, with a tune, the mere word "sweet wine" made him catchy, very pleasant to hear.

The employee of Jing Huatang named Tianjiu was the one who had given Bao Le and the others a face. Before he had time to call the security guard, he was called away by a young man who had just stepped into Jing Huatang from outside.

The man was holding a stacked cake box in his hands, covering his face.However, it can be clearly seen that he is wearing a gray cotton and linen gown with a stand-up collar and a cloak to keep out the cold, and a snow-white flute is pinned to his waist.As for Bao Le, he has seen a lot of girls wearing cheongsams recently, such as the one next to her, this is the first time he has seen a man in such retro clothes, so he couldn't help but be even more curious about what this person's face looks like.

Sweet Wine helped him unload the goods layer by layer, and complained: "Boss, even if you like cakes, you don't need to buy so many."

"It's my birthday," the man said with a friendly smile, "it's only once a year."

Bao Le finally saw his face. Like Shen Wangyan, he is a person with outstanding appearance. He stands out from the crowd, but he is different from Young Master Shen's sickly handsome.A little more delicate.It stands to reason that he didn't have long hair, but it was more feminine than the usual long-haired Jun Zhi, presumably because of his eyes.

This person has a pair of watery autumn pupils, and when he smiles, there is a glimmer of light between his brows and eyes.That's it, she looks like a girl who came out of an ancient text, pure and elegant, like a blooming white magnolia flower.

Although his eyes look like a girl's, he has a pair of sword eyebrows, which makes it difficult for people to recognize the wrong gender.And it's also strange that such a gap between eyebrows and eyes appeared on one person, and it didn't feel unsuitable at all.

Jiang Ning put Bao Le's shoulders and communicated with her with her eyes: "Compared with Shen Wangyan, which one do you think looks better?"

"How can such a different type of handsome guy be so comparable," the little girl was very honest, "But if you ask me, I would give Shen Wangyan a score of 90, and his score would be 96. The main reason is that Shen Wangyan has a big personality problem.I like gentle."

Jiang Ning said "Oh", and then asked with a smile: "What about me?"

"It must be 100%!" The little girl raised her hands to show her loyalty.

Jiang Meiren giggled brightly.

Tianjiu turned to see that the three of them were still there, and hurriedly complained to the boss beside him: "Boss, these people are here to spoil the scene!"

"You can't say that," Bao Le hastened to cleanse himself, "We didn't do anything. There is no righteousness in business. You guys don't treat us as customers first."

The man asked sweet wine with a side face: "What do these guests want to buy?"

"Magnolia chalcedony." Sweet wine almost gritted his teeth.

Now Bao Le finally understood that it wasn't that Jiang Ning had a problem with his attitude when talking to him before, which aroused the other party's disgust. This group of people simply disliked the words magnolia chalcedony. It seems that there is a story in it.

Before the boss could respond, Jiang Ning stepped forward and said, "Who said we want to buy chalcedony?"

Both the man and Tianjiu were slightly taken aback.

Seeing that the effect was good, she continued: "We have a magnolia chalcedony, and I want to ask if you will accept it."

The boss of Jing Huatang smiled in a low voice, still retaining an elegant and kind voice, and said to Jiang Ning: "Sorry, our shop doesn't accept it, and you can go around."

"Really," Jiang Ning turned her eyes away from this man and said, "Then don't bother me. Bao Le, let's go~"

Seeing that she left Jing Huatang without looking back after she finished speaking, the little girl could only follow behind in a panic. Shen Xing'er, who had just realized it, had been left far away, shouting "Wait for me" whilechased after.

When several people left Jing Huatang, they all passed the young man in robes. Only when Bao Le passed by him, the man turned his head back and gave her a thoughtful look.

...

Coming out of Jing Huatang, Jiang Ning looked very serious.

"Why, what's the matter..."

Jiang Meiren showed a ghostly expression, and said sullenly: "Bao Buqi is a descendant of an acquaintance, don't worry, please ask Qin Yao for me, what is the last name of the boss of Jing Huatang?"

Shen Xing'er stuck out her tongue, only dared to complain to herself for not worrying.

After a phone call, Shen Xing'er said: "Sister Qin said that the owner of Jing Huatang is named Xie. Although it is a century-old brand, it has been revitalized in the past ten years. The boss is a generation of young talents. Sister Qin has fought with him.Face to face, he is a nice person to get along with."

Jiang Ning snorted coldly: "Since the surname is Xie, how could it be a simple person."

Hearing what she said, Bao Le couldn't help feeling that he had guessed right, hesitantly said: "This Xie family, could it be also the bereaved family of the ancient times?"

"You guessed right. This Xie family is relatively low-key among the ancient survivors. It started to go downhill about a hundred years ago. But before their family fell, the road cordially connected them with the Shen family, jokingly calling it a Nan family.Shen Beixie," Jiang Ning leaned against the little girl and pinched her face, "The family emblem of the Shen family is the Bana flower, but this Xie family is a magnolia flower, one red and one white, and they are all in the business of jewelry and antiques, it is inevitable that they dislike each other and secretly compete. But who knows, the Xie family is not as good as the previous generation, so everyone still respects the Shen family in Taoism, but few people in the Xie family know."

Bao Le was surprised: "The Shen family still has property, I don't think Shen Wangyan is doing nothing every day."

Jiang Ning gave her a white look: "It's not up to the owner to worry about their business."

That's how it turned out, the little girl clasped her hands together, showing an envious expression.

Jiang Ning flicked on her head.

"However, if this person is also a descendant of the ancient survivors," Bao Le asked, "then what is the gift from the Xie family?"

Just when Jiang Ning was about to answer, she was interrupted by a group of people who jumped out of nowhere.

This group of people are all dressed like criminals, and they wear sunglasses indoors, so they are not easy to mess with at first glance.Bao Le is not afraid of them, after all, Jiang Ning is still there, who can make them suffer.

But the person at the head said: "Just now I heard from this young lady that she has magnolia chalcedony for sale?"

Jiang Ning and Bao Le looked at each other, reached a consensus, and chose to listen to this person to continue.

"It's like this, my boss wants to take this chalcedony." As if to show his sincerity, the black sunglasses said sincerely, "The price is easy to negotiate, I wonder how many ladies would you like to discuss in detail?"

This doesn't sound like much, but it's just a normal businessman, Bao Le gestured to Jiang Ning boredly, and took half a step back.

Unexpectedly, the man said again: "My boss likes the magnolia flower-shaped chalcedony the most. A gentleman came to our boss with chalcedony before, but he sold it for this amount in the end."

Bao Le stopped Jiang Ning: "Wait, you said that there was someone... when did it happen?"

"About two days ago."

"In that case," Bao Le said, "I wonder if you can take us to meet your boss. If there is anything to do, it's better to talk face to face."

"sure!"
