The play is adapted from Tan Tianyin's novel "Kunshan Jade Prequel". It tells the story of a pearl-fishing girl who goes west to do business with the mysterious businessman Yan Zijing during the Dragon Boat Festival. Along the way, she meets the poet Zhang Jinran and her friend Yue Yunxiu. After going through many storms, she becomes a businesswoman..

In the early Tang Dynasty, a young girl fishing for pearls in Hepu escaped from the pearl field in order not to be insulted. At a critical moment, the poet Zhang Jinran came to help her escape.In order to find out his life experience, Duanwu joined the Sogdian merchant Yan Zijing's caravan, relying on his flexible mind to make a lot of jewelry business, and gained a deep friendship with Yue Yunxiu, the lady of Nianyu.Jingdian opened the door to the jewelry world, but Duanwu was involved in the life and death situation set up by Yan Zijing and almost died.

In order to find out the truth, Dragon Boat Festival went to Yangzhou and became famous for his “tortoiseshell armor”. He created the mirror platform with Yue Yunxiu, used jewelry and horse gear to break through the restrictions of local jewelers and occupied a place in the guild, and made colored glaze and sesel toColored jewelry was introduced to Yangzhou, where white jewelry is popular, broadening the local aesthetics and becoming the leader of the industry.

And by chance, she and Zhang Jinran reunited, and the two of them will no longer miss each other.But on the day when she finally became the leader of the guild, she was beaten to the bottom by her former ally Zheng Zhiheng. Fortunately, Zhang Jinran rescued her when her life was hanging by a thread. After escaping, she confronted Zheng Zhiheng, and once again made a comeback, regained the leader of the guild, and ledYangzhou Guild once again reached the peak of jewelry art.

The ocean is boundless, and in the dark corner of the reef, a group of pearl divers live silently.During the Tang Dynasty, the Cui family of Yangzhou set up a pearl farm in Hepu, offering southern pearls every year. Although the pearls were priceless, the life of the pearl slaves was dark. The workers who monitored the pearl fishing were violent and unruly. Anyone who was too weak to go into the water would be a slave for life.Slaves, but women were imprisoned in the maternity shed.

Duanwu is one of the pearl slaves. Although it is hard work when fishing for pearls, it is the most free. Duanwu has no father or mother since he was a child. He is not afraid of man-eating sharks at the bottom of the sea. Instead, it is the shameless cruelty of those who come ashore that makes Duanwu unable to do so.Forgive, but she has been imprisoned here since she was a child, and Dragon Boat Festival can only live cautiously.

On this day, there was a man in Hepu who had been coveting the beautiful Dragon Boat Festival for a long time. On this day, he waited for an opportunity to force Dragon Boat Festival. However, Dragon Boat Festival was not a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by others. She had a dagger with her that could pry open clam shells. The blade was sharp.Incomparably, with the dagger around, the other party doesn't dare to think too hard.

Manager Cui in the palace wanted to buy five-inch beads, so he spread the word that whoever could pick the big beads would be rewarded heavily.To pick big pearls, you need to go to Guanwang Pond. There are many sharks and whales there, which is very dangerous. However, Duanwu heard that there would be a heavy reward and promised to give him a deed of betrayal.Dragon Boat Festival signed up immediately without hesitation.

The girl who had a good relationship with Duanwu didn't dare to go into the water when she saw the deep blue of the sea. In order to leave the pearl quarry as soon as possible, Duanwu tied a sandbag around his waist without hesitation and jumped in.

There is a boat on the sea. This boat is extremely gorgeous. On it are buyers from the Western Regions. They have gold and silver there. As long as they like something, they will spend a lot of money.There was a merchant on the deck who, because he did not follow the rules, actually passed off substandard goods. When someone found out, he was punished by having his eyes and tongue cut out.

Just when the man was begging for mercy, Zhang Jinran stood up and reprimanded the other man for his cruel methods. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, counterfeit goods only require fifty canes.In business, let alone on the deck, the laws of the Tang Dynasty were in vain here. Zhang Jinran proposed to use his ancestral pearls in exchange for the other party's punishment. When the merchants from the Western Regions saw the beads in Zhang Jinran's box, they laughed scornfully and wereThe beads that people have treasured for generations are only two inches or less, but little do they know that the beads they see are much larger than this.

Zhang Jinran didn't believe it at all. Yan Zijing, a businessman from the Western Regions, proposed to take Zhang Jinran to see the world. If they encountered a larger bead than this, the bead would be given to them for free. Zhang Jinran happily agreed.

His subordinates tugged at Zhang Jinran's clothes, worried that merchants from the Western Regions would really find more precious clam beads, but Zhang Jinran didn't care about losing some money. He came here with a mission. In recent years, sea tax has been reduced., but the quality of the tribute beads is not as good as before. He wants to visit incognito and try to find out the truth.

After going through many hardships, Dragon Boat Festival finally found a huge pearl, but was intercepted by his companions. Fortunately, Dragon Boat Festival has excellent water properties, and finally escaped and took the huge pearl out of the seabed.It was not easy to get the pearls. Unexpectedly, the nuns here exchanged the pearls from the Dragon Boat Festival, and finally the slave release documents were given to other pearl divers.

Dragon Boat Festival burst into tears and begged us to investigate and find out that the beads she picked had indeed been transferred.The old nanny knew that she was in the wrong, so she applied for Duanwu to be Princess Zhuji.Zhuji sells pearls. The old woman reminds Duanwu privately that if she wants to leave here, she must not breathe, and Zhuji is the only way out for Duanwu's nirvana and rebirth.

Manager Cui asked them that whoever can buy this huge pearl for 500,000 yuan will be rewarded heavily. Duanwu couldn't wait to sign up. She hoped that Manager Cui could give her two slave release documents. Manager Cui didn't want to be haggled, so he directly proposed,As long as he sells 7 million, he will agree to Dragon Boat Festival's request.

As a Pearl Princess, if she wants to buy the pearls in her hands at the highest price, she must make herself as dazzling among the crowd as the pearls. She is inconspicuous among a group of dancers, and there are many graceful beauties there, becauseWithout rehearsing the Dragon Boat Festival in advance, she couldn't complete the dance successfully. When she realized that she was starting to make a fool of herself, she concentrated on thinking of countermeasures. She noticed that there was a drummer in the band on one side.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, I once observed a dancing woman. This woman danced gracefully to the sound of drums. The Dragon Boat Festival came to the drummer gracefully, got the small drum, and started playing by herself. The dance of the Dragon Boat Festival was novel and beautiful, refreshing, and she soon became transcendent.After getting out, the other women knew they were no match and quietly withdrew.

After the dance, Zhuji began to sell beads. In order to sell her beads at a high price, Zhuji even dropped a drop of her own blood on the beads, which is known as “blood beads”. These blood beads are very valuable and can be used to sell beads.To ward off evil spirits and avoid taboos, one bead brings life.

Yan Zijing offered 6 million, but Duanwu knelt on the ground for a long time, unwilling to hand the beads over to Yan Zijing. She once made a blood oath with her supervisor: If she could not sell for 7 million, she would be beaten to death with a stick.In order for herself and her good sisters to leave the pearl field smoothly, she had no choice but to take a desperate gamble.

Zhang Jinran once heard the conversation between Duanwu and his supervisor, and when he saw Duanwu's tearful eyes, he felt compassion and immediately agreed to buy it for seven million.Everyone was in an uproar, Zhang Jinran asked his men to give the boss a gold leaf, and the deal was negotiated.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, she came to Zhang Jinran to express her gratitude. Zhang Jinran asked her to take him for a walk around the area. One of them was a nobleman and the other was a humble slave. When talking about what they saw, they were completely different.Duanwu was fascinated when she heard Zhang Jinran said that Chang'an was very lively and contained all the good things in the world. Zhang Jinran also told Duanwu that there was an ancient wishing tree in Chang'an. As long as you make a sincere wish, write your wish on the wishing sign and hang it on the tree,It can be fulfilled.Duanwu had never heard such a new thing. Zhang Jinran couldn't help but sigh when he heard that her biggest wish was %freedom. At that time, he helped Duanwu write her wish on the card and hung it on the tree. He also wished her: "The heart is like a mirror."You get whatever you wish for.

Yan Zijing met Cui Wu quietly. Cui Wu got a gold leaf during the auction. Although he knew that this object was extremely valuable, he naturally couldn't sleep well because he didn't know Zhang Jinran's details.

Yan Zijing told him that the person who bought the bead was the sworn brother of King Ying, who had won the trust of the officials. He had recently left Beijing and went south, obviously with orders, and that King Ying and King Tan were fighting fiercely.., judging from the current situation, King Ying has the best chance of winning.In order to protect himself, Cui Wu had to agree to sell all the pearls in the auction that day to Yan Zijing at a low price.

Here, Duanwu and Lala were sent to Cui Wu's room. Faced with this treacherous thief, Duanwu made no compromises, but Cui Wu had a knife. Fortunately, grandma arrived in time. Cui Wu asked her to kill Duanwu.But unexpectedly, grandma ended his life.

Cui Wu died. Nanny tried her best to pull Duanwu to escape, but the people behind her were chasing after her. Nanny used her own life to push Duanwu onto the boat. Before she died, she told Duanwu that she was Duanwu's mother.They all wanted to rescue her, but now they would die in peace.

Duanwu was freed, but lost her mother at the same time. She was completely disillusioned. The ship drifted all the way and happened to collide with a large ship. Fortunately, the person on board was Zhang Jinran, and Duanwu and his brother were saved.

Cui Shijiu from the capital was sent to urge the tribute beads. Cui Wu said that a fire had just broken out. Not only had the pearls been burned, but even the account book for reconciliation could not be found.The other party did not forgive him for this. Cui Shijiu reminded Cui Wu that according to the requirements above, not a single bead should be missing.Cui Ding knew that he was coming. In order to avoid it, he took the small treasury and fled overnight.

When Duanwu woke up, she was out of danger. She came to the deck to thank Zhang Jinran again for saving her life. Zhang Jinran told about the many beautiful scenery he saw when he left Beijing this time. He also said that the most amazing thing was the pearl divers who came from the boat andJumping between seas.The beautiful scenery Zhang Jinran talked about was very sad to hear here during the Dragon Boat Festival. These pearl divers jumped into the sea just to survive, maybe to avoid sharks, maybe to kill each other.

The boat traveled all the way to the dock. When Duanwu separated from her mother, Zeng accidentally dropped the blood beads her mother had given her on the beach and was picked up by Cui Ding.This time when she saw Cui Ding, she told her brother to stay at the dock while she went to get the relics given by her mother.

Before the Pearl Tower was burned down, Cui Ding had sold all the pearls to Yan Zijing, but later his subordinates told him that the gold was fake, and Cui Ding hated Yan Zijing deeply.But Yan Zijing's people kept an eye on Cui Ding, and just saw him escaping to the shore, so they blocked his escape route.

Duanwu was so angry that he took a big wooden stick and hit Cui Ding with all his strength. Yan Zijing did not stop him until Duanwu finished venting his anger.Duanwu saw the blood beads rolling down and was about to pick them up, but Yan Zijing stomped his hand hard on the ground and couldn't reach it at all.

The people on the ship thought that Duanwu was stolen. Although Duanwu insisted that the bead was hers, she could not avoid the fate of being punished. Yan Zijing had Duanwu tied with ropes and tied below the deck.Duanwu held on to the rope tightly, and with perseverance, he was finally lifted to the deck again.

It was night, and during the Dragon Boat Festival, he didn't take a moment's rest. He ran directly to the place where the cargo was loaded in the cabin. He had already found the blood beads, but he was still caught by Yan Zijing's men.Yan Zijing reminded her that she would not be able to get the beads by doing this because she was too weak. When would she become stronger before she could get the beads back.

Duanwu asked Yan Zijing to set a price. He originally wanted to bargain, but he didn't expect that Yan Zijing would increase the price by another million every time, and finally settled on three million.Duanwu wanted to find a way to earn money to redeem the beads, so she asked Yan Zijing to give her some time, and she would have a chance when the ship docked.

Kang Ju, Yan Zijing's subordinate, fell in love with Duan Wu and felt very bored after wandering on the sea for a long time. Kang Ju saw Duan Wu several times and found that she was sharp-tongued, witty and brave, so he suggested to Yan Zijing that he might as well keep her by his side..Yan Zijing did not agree and reminded Kang Ju to find some work and not to think about the Dragon Boat Festival.

Duanwu and his younger brother Xiao Xiami stayed on the boat temporarily. There was no idlers on the boat, so the two siblings began to work like other servants.Duanwu told his brother to get familiar with this place as soon as possible, find out the situation of the people inside, and escape from here when the right opportunity comes.

Despite Xiao Xiami's young age, he quickly found out everyone on the ship. During the Dragon Boat Festival, he heard Xiao Xiami said that there were warriors on the ship, and the leader was named Kang Ju. This man often accompanied Yan Zijing, and he would definitely be there in the future.It was useful, so she made a special note of this person.

There is a man named Cao Tou on the deck. He speaks in a very gentle tone, and he always helps the people on the ship buy things. Everyone likes his talk. Every time they are paid, they entrust Cao Tou with their wages to buy things.Xiao Xiami heard Cao Tou's quotation and immediately told Duan Wu. Cao Tou told them that the price was twice as high as the price on the market, which showed that it was not good.Dragon Boat Festival asked Xiao Xiami not to tell anyone. Now that they are under the protection of others, they are in danger at any time, so they should proceed with caution.

Duanwu inquired that the ship would dock tomorrow. She found a way to get to Yanzijing and specifically applied for the opportunity to go ashore. Even if she worked as a slave at the bottom of the cabin for the rest of her life, she would not be able to buy beads. Yanzijing agreed to Duanwu's request, especially emphasizing that as long as DuanwuIf the entire deck can be cleaned before dawn, they will be let out.

Cui Ding couldn't bear the beating, so he bit his tongue and committed suicide. Before he died, he said that Yan Zijing's sister was in Shaozhou.Knowing the whereabouts of his sister, Yan Zijing planned to dock in Shaozhou, and then hold a pearl poetry party, inviting the target nobles to participate in the poetry party. In order to complete his plan, he specially asked his subordinates to announce that the person who came out first would be rewarded with twelve taels of pearls.

Duanwu originally begged Zhang Jinran to let her go ashore, and then do business to make money. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jinran allowed her to go ashore, but asked her to get off the boat to work. When Duanwu and Xiao Xiami were forced to wipe the ground with a rag, they met Yan Zijing again., how reluctant I was.

There was an endless stream of people coming to participate in the poetry meeting. When Cui Shijiu saw the Dragon Boat Festival, he ridiculed him and said that a lowly official could not get on the stage.Of course Duanwu recognized this Cui Shijiu. It was her request for a large number of pearls every year that caused countless pearl divers to be buried in the sea. Duanwu was not timid. She reminded Cui Shijiu not to be too proud. Every pearl in the Cui family was stained with blood., they will not be rewarded.

Cui Shijiu and Duan Wu started to struggle. Even though Duan Wu refused to yield, Cui Shijiu pinned him to the ground so hard that he couldn't move. Fortunately, Zhang Jinran was passing by at that time, so Cui Shijiu let go of Duan Wu.

At the Pearl Poetry Club, Zhang Jinran improvised a poem about the hardships of pearl divers, which won the applause of the whole house. In Zhang Jinran's poem, she wrote that when the pearls were filled with tears, she cried with gratitude during the Dragon Boat Festival. She once asked Zhang Jinran, hoping to write a poem about the hardships of a pearl diver, and now it finally happened.Those unknown pearl divers can also be regarded as knowing something and gain some comfort.

This poetry meeting brought Cui Shijiu and Zhang Jinran together again. Zhang Jinran's men had discovered Cui Ding's body, and his uncle also reported that Cui Ding had been tortured before his death.Zhang Jinran suspected that Yan Zijing killed Cui Ding and paid for his life. Yan Zijing refuted that he had never met Cui Ding at all, and asked Duan Wu to come forward as a witness.

Duanwu saw Yan Zijing's eyes and immediately knew how to respond. She also concealed that she had been on Yan Zijing's boat and had never seen Cui Ding.

Zhang Jinran has always felt that Duanwu was honest and to the point. Now that he heard that Duanwu was shielding Yan Zijing, he couldn't help but remind her that she would be punished for shielding criminals.Duanwu was unmoved. After Zhang Jinran left, Duanwu asked Yan Zijing for a reward.

Duanwu tried to find a way to get off the ship early, but after some provocation, Yan Zijing really agreed to let them go.But what kind of business will she do after getting off the ship? Dragon Boat Festival tossed and turned, so far she only knew that she could sell scrap materials.Caotou used to sell it for eighteen cents per catty, but Duanwu thought that he could refine these waste materials and sell some of the processed products to drug stores, which would make more profits.

Where to find so much scrap, Duan Wu mustered up the courage to go to Wei Sihui to find Wei Yan, and then told Wei Yan the profit he had calculated. Since Duan Wu was not afraid of hard work and Wei Yan also had extra money to earn, she would naturally help, soHe took Duanwu to find the person in charge who specialized in producing scraps. This time Duanwu had a total of two hundred kilograms of scraps.

Duanwu did not want to keep the money for herself. She gave the scraps to the slaves who usually worked in the bilge. Everyone was very happy to help and began to finish processing the scraps intensively.

Finally, it was the day to disembark, and Duanwu was struggling to pull the cart full of goods alone. Xiao Xiami could only send Duanwu to the dock.

It was his first time doing business. Duanwu had no experience and was rejected a lot. The drug store saw that Duanwu was a stranger, and because Duanwu himself was not a permanent resident, he was worried that the medicinal materials were not good and there would be no place to find after-sales service, so he did not agree to do business with Duanwu.

When the Hepu Pearl Market burned down, Cui Shiqi knew that he could not report to the court, so he secretly ordered to take back the jewelry required by the court at a high price.Yan Zijing's ship was close to Guangzhou, and thinking of doing business here in the future, he disembarked to visit the local leader.

There are countless colorful treasures from the Western Regions in Yan Zijing's cabin. You only need to take out a few as meeting gifts, and the local leader will regard them as friends and agree to help Yan Zijing sell the jewelry, as long as they give a share according to the rules.

Duanwu finally met someone who was willing to receive the goods. The other person gave her a banknote and asked her to go to a nearby bank shop to withdraw money. When Duanwu got the ticket, the other person told her that the seal on it was fake.She was cheated on her first business trip. Duan Wu panicked and went to find the person who had collected her scraps. When she came to the drug store that the gangster told her about, she happened to see Cao Tou.She went to see Yan Zijing. Yan Zijing was very surprised. It was not until he heard Cao Tou say that the goods were two hundred and ten kilograms that Duan Wu understood. When the weighing was carried out, only she and the gangster were there. How could Cao Tou know the specific amount?, must have been colluded before.

Duanwu was tied to the deck and punished with twenty lashes. Yanzijing also wanted her to continue to be a slave on the bottom of the ship. Duanwu begged Yanzijing to give her another chance. She would definitely get the lost goods back. Yanzijing saw herHis red eyes were very similar to his own when he was in trouble, so he agreed to Dragon Boat Festival's plea.

That night, Duanwu sneaked into Cao Tou's bedroom quietly, put a dagger to his neck and asked where the criminal lived. In order to protect his life, Cao Tou naturally wanted to tell the details. Duanwu went to the criminal's residence overnight and successfully took the money.Come back.

In addition to the money that was required to be handed over according to the regulations, Dragon Boat Festival also kept what he should take.Yan Zijing was not satisfied with what she had done, and wanted to punish Duan Wu for his mistakes. Duan Wu didn't quite understand why she was still like this now that she had gotten the money back.Yan Zijing reminded her that selling scraps was Cao Tou's business, and if she shared Cao Tou's profits, she would naturally encounter some twists and turns.Duanwu didn't understand why Yan Zijing had always been protective of Cao Tou because of his constant tricks. Yan Zijing said frankly that it was because Cao Tou could handle everything he asked and people who were useful to him would never be abandoned.Duanwu decided to become a useful person to Yan Zijing.

Cui Shijiu spent a lot of silver but got nothing, and the goods were not of good quality. Looking at half a box of small and uneven pearls, she became furious.In fact, while Cui Shijiu was buying pearls, Yan Zijing was also buying high-quality goods in large quantities at exorbitant prices. Cui Shijiu heard the report from his subordinates and knew that Zhang Jinran had used the trick of pulling out the bottom of the cauldron.

Cui Jiu went to see Yan Zijing in person. Originally, she wanted to deceive Zhang Jinran, saying that the court had criticized him, and asked him to offer beads to seek good luck. How could Yan Zijing be deceived by Cui Jiu? He reasoned that heHe is a well-behaved businessman, he has never done anything arrogant, and he does not need to show his loyalty to the court.Yan Zijing asked his men to take out the jewelry. Cui Shijiu was moved when he saw the box full of jewels. Seeing that the date of tribute was approaching, he urgently needed these things, and he was determined to get them even if the price was high.

Yan Zijing's arrogance greatly angered Cui Shiqi, and Hepu was burned, including the fact that Yan Zijing deceived Hepu's housekeeper with fake gold. She quickly reported this matter to her brother.Xu Nanying was convicted in the court, and he did not dare to get close to Yan Zijing again.

Duanwu and other sisters finally got a chance to go ashore. They went to the market to watch the excitement. The little sisters fell in love with a red hairpin. Duanwu found that the flowers on the red hairpin were made of waste materials. Thinking that there were still a lot of waste materials on the ship, Duanwu stayed up all night.TutuI drew a picture and designed a plum blossom shape. I also called Xiao Xiami and asked him what kind of wood to use to make the hairpin. Xiao Xiami thought for a while and suggested using old ship wood. This old ship wood has experienced wind and rain all year round and the wood will not crack.Strong as iron.

Xiao Xiami once followed Cao Tou and saw Cao Tou selling coral beads to the most famous local jewelry store.She was new to the Dragon Boat Festival and was not familiar with this place at all. She thought of many ways to get close to this store. When she heard that the store owner's favorite daughter was the ninth lady of the Pan family, she rushed to make a pearl hairpin overnight.

The ninth wife of the Pan family was also pitiful. Both her fiancés died one after another. The world said that she was a widower. Therefore, the ninth wife of the Pan family always washed her face with tears and even wore a mask.When Duanwu learned that the ninth wife of the Pan family was going to be photographed recently, she rushed there and deliberately cried and knelt in front of the Buddha statue to call her my wife. Fortunately, the statue appeared and gave her a coral bead and red hairpin, and now she was finally lucky.

Dragon Boat Festival has a eloquent tongue. When the nine ladies of the Pan family heard about Dragon Boat Festival, they thought they were both destitute people from the end of the world. They also asked her how to get the coral beads and red hairpins. When Dragon Boat Festival was about to sell the coral beads, Zhang Jinran did not invite her.Later, he exposed the Dragon Boat Festival deception in public, and the ninth wife of the Pan family was so angry that she walked away.

Zhang Jinran reminded Dragon Boat Festival that one should not be greedy for profit. When he boarded Yanzijing's merchant ship, although he could learn some intrigues from Yanzijing's merchants, it was not a long-term solution. In business, credit is important. If the ninth lady of the Pan family gets the Dragon Boat Festival pearl hairpin today but cannot transfer it,From now on, I will keep the grudge in my heart and there will be no long-term contact at all.

Although Duan Wu felt that there was a huge difference between him and Zhang Jinran, what he said made sense. Duan Wu decided to apologize to the ninth lady of the Pan family in person, and she even went to rent a dress for this purpose.

Duanwu took the ninth lady of the Pan family to see the divination goddess, and deliberately called herself a daughter of the Pan family. The goddess then made all kinds of nonsense, saying that her appearance was like that of a witch, her horoscopes were not good, etc. Duanwu immediately exposed her plot and said that he was not married yet.How to tell the truth from the face.The goddess had no choice but to say that she usually talked nonsense.The Ninth Lady of the Pan family finally knew that everything was a fabrication, and how could fate be revealed through the eyes of a deceitful madam.

Dragon Boat Festival told the nine ladies of the Pan family to be confident. As long as they don't fail, no one will look down on them.Mrs. Jiu of the Pan family was very touched by Duanwu's help and immediately signed the order. Duanwu got her first business in her life.

In order to attack Yan Zijing, Cui Jiu specially organized a project of sharks to seize the treasure, and submitted a letter of nomination to Yan Zijing. If Yan Zijing failed to seize the treasure successfully, he would lose the qualification to purchase jewelry in Guangzhou.

Yan Zijing asked who was participating in the competition. Everyone knew that this competition was extremely dangerous and no one signed up. Cao Tou thought of a way to let everyone decide by drawing lots. Cao Tou specifically asked Duanwu to draw lots first, and Duanwu came first.GezhuThe lottery was red. She knocked over the bamboo tube and found that all the bamboo sticks were red. Yan Zijing agreed that she could draw lots again. Dragon Boat Festival saw that the friends around her were trembling. She had been in the water since she was a child, so she took the initiative to take on this job..

As the competition approaches, Yan Zijing gives Duanwu a gold vest to wear, which can save her life if necessary.Duanwu was grateful to Yan Zijing for the reward. Although she did not need to participate in this competition, in order to get the scarlet bead and then find her father, she was determined to win it no matter how dangerous it was.

The game started. It was originally decided to go to the sea to seize the treasure, but the official in charge suddenly changed his mind and wanted to seize the treasure on land.Duanwu is a female streamer, and she has no chance of winning in this kind of competition. Yan Zijing knows that there are tricks in this competition, but since she is already on the boat, she must abide by the rules of the competition.

Duanwu had already obtained the treasure with his wit and courage, but he met Cheng Yaojin on the road, but people who wanted to seize the treasure kept coming one after another.Duan Wu was stabbed in the waist with a dagger. Fortunately, she was wearing the soft gold armor given by Yan Zijing, and her vital parts were not stabbed.The contestants brought by Cui Shijiu all had murderous weapons in their hands. Yan Zijing saw that Duanwu was about to fall from a height, so he flew over and caught it steadily.There was no chance during the competition time. Yan Zijing supported Dragon Boat Festival and continued to win the treasure. He found that those people were carrying murderous weapons. Yan Zijing acted without mercy. His usual diligent practice finally came in handy now.

Yan Zijing knocked down the orb in the hands of Cui Jiu's men. The orb fell into pieces and fell into pieces. However, Duanwu still lost because the game was over and the orb was in the hands of Cui Jiu.The judging officials had been appointed by Cui Jiu a long time ago, and they judged Cui Jiu's winner without asking any questions.

Duanwu was seriously injured and when he heard the result of the game, he vomited blood sadly. Zhang Jinran was there at the time and he immediately hugged Duanwu to see the doctor.Yan Zijing failed in the competition and lost the entire Guangzhou pearl purchasing qualification.

After drinking the medicine prescribed by the doctor in Dragon Boat Festival, Zhang Jinran persuaded her not to take risks with Yan Zijing anymore. He also gave Yan Zijing a token and asked her to go to the city to find someone who would naturally give her a job.Duanwu declined Zhang Jinran's kindness. She couldn't leave there before she got the blood beads.Zhang Jinran also wanted to give Duan Wu another trump card to settle down, but he was rejected by Duan Wu. She knew that Zhang Jinran was a good person, but such kindness could not be repaid, so it was better not to accept it.

Zhang Jinran sent Duan Wu to the dock. Yan Zijing stood on the deck and watched the two saying goodbye. Duan Wu went to see Yan Zijing and took the initiative to accept the punishment. Yan Zijing gave Duan Wu two options. One was to leave the cabin and be next to him.Personal maid, but never mention joining the caravan again; and the other is to return to the bilge to receive twenty lashes and continue working hard.Duanwu did not hesitate to choose the second one. As for the twenty whips, Duanwu took the initiative to defend himself. Although the Chamber of Commerce lost the competition, everyone also saw the strength of the Chamber of Commerce and brought a lot of business to the caravan. The merits and demerits were balanced..

Duanwu knew that the Chamber of Commerce had lost the right to purchase pearls in Guangzhou, so she gave Yan Zijing advice: she could use other jewelry stores to collect pearls. Mrs. Pan Jiujiu was familiar with her, and their jewelry store was well-known in the local area. Yan Zijing had no objection to Duanwu's decision.The suggestion is just to remind her not to be scammed like the first time she sold scraps.

After Duanwu got the deposit, he and his brother Xiao Xiami moved to the boat. Finally, they no longer had to sleep in the damp bottom cabin. Xiao Xiami was very happy.

Cao Da usually does scrap business, but Duan Wu's joining has deprived him of an opportunity to make money. Cao Da bribed his boss with fine wine, but now Duan Wu has stolen the show in front of Yan Zijing, and many people are waiting to see Duan Wu's jokes.

Duanwu made some new hairpins and sent them to Feng. Her handmade hairpins were very exquisite. They were stored in Feng's jewelry shop and sold very well. This time Duanwu told Feng the idea of ​​buying pearls, and the sharks seized the treasure.The competition became an uproar, and Feng confirmed that Duanwu had been involved in the turmoil. Since they were good sisters, she agreed to help her.

Feng invited Duanwu out for tea, and happened to meet Zhang Jinran, who had been expelled from the inn. He had been helped by Zhang Jinran before, and Duanwu also invited Zhang Jinran to drink tea with him. During this period, Zhang Jinran said that he was being plotted, and no inn was willing to accept him, and there was a room for him.Yan Zijing’s thoughts.Duan Wu only helped introduce Zhang Jinran. When Yan Zijing saw Zhang Jinran, he was not as friendly as before. After sarcasticly mocking Zhang Jinran, he actually agreed to let him stay here.

After Zhang Jinran left, Yan Zijing told the servants around him that Xu Nanying had begun to take action for fear of being caught by Zhang Jinran. Since he was an important official in the imperial court, he wanted to find out the truth about the massive reduction in tribute pearls. Now he knew more and more.The more, Yan Zijing must be careful when instructing his men to act.

Late at night, Yan Zijing met with Zhang Jinran in private. Zhang Jinran knew all about Yan Zijing's actions in Guangzhou. He couldn't help but doubt Yan Zijing's original intention of pressing hard on the Cui family. He first burned down the Pearl Pavilion, and then purchased pearls in the world at high prices.It was obviously not the businessman's fault to make it difficult for Cui Shijiu to buy even a single pearl. Zhang Jinran asked him what grudge he had with Cui Shijiu, and Yan Zijing casually found an excuse to pass it off.

Zhang Jinran is undoubtedly the safest if he stays in Yanzijing. The merchant ship in Yanzijing is full of experts and is heavily guarded. Now that he has found the account books and witnesses who know the inside story, he can decisively close the net.

Yan Zijing opened the secret room in her room and let Duan Wu enter the secret room together. This was the first time for Duan Wu to enter the secret room. She saw countless rare treasures, and they were all the most precious and top-grade Nanman treasures. Duan Wu couldn't help but doubt Yan Zijing's original intention.Yan Zijing casually picked up a jade hairpin and put it on Duanwu. She also told her that tomorrow she would go to the bidding fair to bid for pearls on behalf of the caravan. She must dress decently then. He wanted all the pearls at the exhibition.

Xu Nanying has been colluding secretly with the Cui family over the years to enrich his own pockets. Now Zhang Jinran has caught him. Hearing that Zhang Jinran has obtained the account books and rushed them to the palace overnight, it is probably more serious than the worst.Xu Nanying was silent after hearing the news. He decided to remove this “obstacle” and assassinate Zhang Jinran again.Zhang Jinran also acquired some skills in his daily life, and with his cleverness and dexterity, he finally escaped pursuit.The men quietly followed the assassin and found that the assassin was going to Xu Nanying's place.

When Duanwu heard that Zhang Jinran was injured, he immediately went to visit him and gave him medicine. Zhang Jinran felt that Yanzi was very sophisticated in the capital and was ruthless in doing things, so he advised her not to continue to follow the fleet.Duanwu said frankly that she could see hope here, and Zhang Jinran commented that Yan Zijing was good at preying on the weak, and she agreed. However, for a person of her status, every day of her life was licking blood from the tip of a knife.

Yan Zijing heard the news that his sister seemed to be really in Shaozhou. It was no longer safe in Guangzhou. Duanwu told his men to finish their work quickly and go to Shaozhou.

When Cao Da heard that Duan Wu was going out with Wei Si today, he found an excuse to tie Xiao Xiami to the bilge and then tortured him severely.

Duanwu and Wei Si would ride in a carriage to buy treasures together. Riding a carriage for the first time, Duanwu found it very novel.Wei Sihui suddenly complained that she had a stomachache and asked Duanwu to discuss business alone. She said that the box in her hand was filled with gold bars, which was enough to buy the other party's jewelry.

Finally meeting the jewelry seller, Duanwu offered to buy all the jewelry, but when she showed the deposit, she discovered that there were some pebbles in the box.Danwu broke out in a cold sweat and his brain was running rapidly. Duanwu immediately asked N Haifan merchant Schnawi for cooperation. They could make the most gorgeous hairpins and decorate them with N Haifan merchant's pearls, which would definitely double the price. The merchantThe most important thing is profit, not to mention that the price of pearl hairpins is much higher than the price of raw materials. N Haifan merchant proposed to bring the finished pearl hairpins tomorrow. If he is satisfied, all the pearls will be given to Yan Zijing.

Returning to the fleet at Dragon Boat Festival, Wei Sihui was tied to a wooden pillar and tortured. Yan Zijing had found evidence of an affair with Cui Shiqi in Wei Sihui's room. Cui Shiqi gave Wei Sihui a large number of house deeds and land deeds.Yan Zijing publicly announced that Wei Sihui would be sentenced to death. Duanwu stood in front of Wei Sihui and tried to plead for mercy. However, Zhang Jinran also came forward to remind Yan Zijing that he should not deal with people in private. Yan Zijing gave Zhang Jinran face and asked Wei Sihui to throw him into the sea.

The people around him had dispersed. Duan Wu held the box containing the pebbles during the day and asked Yan Zijing if he had already encountered today's result. Yan Zijing nodded to confirm. Duan Wu's eyes immediately turned red. He was once glad that he was following the right person, but he didn't expect that he was also.Treat them like chess pieces.

Xiao Xiami, Duanwu's younger brother, was tortured so hard that his back was scarred and he couldn't move.Duanwu felt very distressed when he saw the injury on his brother's back, but Xiao Xiami comforted Duanwu not to bear grudges against Cao Tou and the others. The opponent was now so powerful that people like them could not fight against him.

On the next day, Duanwu brought the pearl hairpins he made to N Haifan merchant. N Haifan merchant was very satisfied. He originally wanted to do business with Yan Zijing, but Cui Shijiu also brought several styles of jewelry. After all,Cui Shijiu is an official and businessman, and he usually has tributes specially given to the palace, and the exquisiteness of his jewelry is much more exquisite than that of the Dragon Boat Festival.In order to win these jewels, Cui Jiu increased the price by 20% and also paid 500 gold as a deposit.Yan Zijing couldn't afford such a high price, so Duanwu decisively stopped. Before leaving, she whispered to Cui Jiu, be careful not to sell it for such a high price in the end, and you would lose everything.

Late at night, Wei Sihui had just climbed ashore when his neck was wiped by the sword in Yan Zijing's hand. Yan Zijing acted decisively, but he still let people in the dark see him.The next day, Wei Sihui's body appeared on the ship. Xu Nanying offered a high reward for clues. Someone reported Yan Zijing, and Xu Nanying tied Yan Zijing away at that time.

The plot changed so quickly that Duan Wu found it unbelievable. Yan Zijing had always done things carefully and carefully, how could he leave evidence behind, and what would happen next if he was kidnapped by officials.

Yan Zijing's confidant Kang Ju called Duanwu to the room, handed her the blood beads, and reminded her that she can leave now.Duan Wu was surprised when Yan Zijing had just been arrested and gave him the blood bead. Moreover, Duan Wu had not given Yan Zijing the three hundred gold they had agreed upon before.Kang Ju reminded Duan Wu to leave immediately after getting his things and not to get involved in this dispute, but Duan Wu was not in a hurry to leave.

The government searched the fleet's treasures and saw boxes of jewels being moved out one after another. Duanwu came up with a plan and deliberately let Pang Zhizhang hear that there were some treasures in Yan Zijing's room.Late at night, Pang Zhengzhang took Cao Da with him to steal, but was caught by Kang Ju. Internal theft was a taboo. Kang Ju tied the two people to the deck, and Duanwu whipped them with a whip while Zhang Jinran watched.When Duan Wu, who looks weak in appearance, can whip someone with a whip, he laments that she has become as cold-blooded as Yan Zijing.

Zhang Jinran was born in a famous family. He had been well-educated and read the scriptures of sages since he was a child. Naturally, he could not bear to see such a scene. However, Duanwu had lived in an environment of intrigue and deception since he was a child, so he could certainly see the truth of survival more clearly.

It was now less than ten days before the tribute beads were presented. Of course Cui Shijiu would buy the jewelry that Yan Zijing had been auctioned off by the officials at all costs. Duanwu took Manager Zhao into the secret room of the fleet and saw the rare treasures everywhere. Manager ZhaoKnowing that after pawning these jewels, she could participate in the official auction, Duan Wu once heard Yan Zijing tell her to buy all the pearls and not leave any of them to the Cui family.

Late at night, Kang Ju reported to Yan Zijing that Duanwu was going to buy jewelry and asked if he wanted to stop it. Yanzijing waved his hand. He was very interested in seeing how Duanwu chose. He had no regrets when he fell into the chess. He had planned many things before, even ifEven though Dragon Boat Festival failed to satisfy Yan Zijing, he also had the ability to clean up the mess.

At the bidding meeting, Duanwu invited Zhuo Baozhai to participate in the bidding, and Cui Shijiu was also there. All the jewelry for the auction was sealed, and he had no idea what was inside the big box. It was a blind auction. Zhuo Baozhai and Duanwu competed for it at first.Cui Jiujiu's grandfather was not far behind when he raised the price. Cui Jiujiu hurriedly advised his grandfather to be careful in everything. Yan Zijing was very scheming and was no match for them. However, Cui's father had always looked down upon his daughter.She didn't take her words to heart at all.

Kang Ju had figured out that Cui Shijiu had brought 2,600 taels of silver to bid, and the bidding price kept rising. Dragon Boat Festival kept raising the price to 2,550 taels. Cui's father was afraid of falling behind, and finally paid the price of 2,600 taels.He became a monk with ten thousand taels of silver, and finally Cui Shijiu won the bid.The government asked Cui Jiujiu to sign the bidding documents. After the signature was completed, they began to open the sealed boxes. Cui's father saw that these boxes were filled with worthless things, and he suddenly fainted after being furious.

Duan Wu's heart was in his throat nervously. Fortunately, Cui's bid was successful. If he had given up in the middle, he would have been in doom for taking these rubbish photos!At this time, Yan Zijing and Wei Sihui walked out in full view of everyone. It turned out that Wei Sihui was not dead!The reason why Yan Zijing was kidnapped and imprisoned in the first place was because of murder. Now that Wei Sihui is safe and sound, Yan Zijing's charges have become groundless.Cui Jiu understood that she had been fooled again, and this time she lost all of Cui’s savings!

After the achievement, Yan Zijing held a celebration banquet on the deck. Dragon Boat Festival took the initiative to help Manager Zhao to ask for a reward. Yan Zijing happily agreed. He asked Manager Zhao what reward he wanted, and Manager Zhao confessed that he was old now and wanted to go home to his fields.Yan Zijing sympathized with Manager Zhao for his hard work in the fleet for many years, and tried to turn the tide in many critical moments. Not only did he give him a generous reward, but he also gave him a store in Yangzhou. Manager Zhao was very moved. Everyone saw that the Lord was so generous., and became more willing to serve Yan Zijing.

Cui's father blamed Cui Jiu for the consequences of the auction. Cui Jiu, who had been unwilling to be inferior to men since she was a child, would not sit still and wait for death. She found out that Xu Nanying had prepared the tribute lotus platform, so she quietly went to see Xu Nanying., I hope Xu Nanying will give Cui Shijiu a few more days to deal with it. As long as they have time to breathe, they will be able to overcome the difficulties.Xu Nanying would never make a loss-making business, so when he heard that Cui Shijiu could help him get rid of Zhang Jinran, he began to relent.

Cui Shijiu went to Cui Jia to get rid of Zhang Jinran. Unexpectedly, Duanwu was also there. Zhang Jinran was about to leave Guangzhou. Before leaving, he took Duanwu to visit the barbarian market, but he did not expect to be chased.When Duanwu saw that the pursuer was Cui Jia, she was so angry that she picked up a big stick and attacked vigorously, but Cui Jia was still able to escape.

During the day, Zhang Jinran was being hunted. In the evening, Yan Zijing treated him to a drinking banquet. The two of them chatted while drinking. Zhang Jinran had learned a lot about Yan Zijing's methods. These days, Yan Zijing was pressing hard on the Cui family, and the Pearl Tower wasThere must be deep hatred among them, and there is also a plan to defraud Cui Shijiu of all his belongings at the auction.Yan Zijing did not give him an answer, but only gave him another clue. Cui Shijiu also promised to give dozens of taels of tribute beads to another person every year. It seemed that someone else was involved behind this case.

Zhang Jinran once found a sheepskin scroll from the Pearl Tower, which wrote something about Banniang. Duanwu saw that there was Yan's Zhu Chai on the sheepskin scroll, and there was also a mysterious person Yu Shi. Duanwu guessed that this Yu Shi wasIs it her father?In his spare time, Duanwu told Yan Zijing his doubts. Yan Zijing did not deny the matter of Zhuchai, but all the Cui family in the parchment were dead. Regarding Yu Shi, Yan Zijing had met Yu Shi with his own eyes.He was tortured to death, but he didn't want Duan Wu to worry, so he reasoned that Yu Shi's whereabouts were unknown.

If the tribute beads were not delivered in time, Cui's father would naturally have to face the saint to accept punishment.Cui Jiu couldn't bear her father being punished, so she took the initiative to ask her father to leave the matter to her.Cui's father naturally knows how to deal with this matter because he is old. He admitted that he usually doesn't want Cui Shijiu to take care of business because she is a daughter after all.Cui Shijiu knelt in front of her father. King Tan had been interested in her a few years ago. As long as she agreed to be King Tan's concubine, this disaster would naturally be solved.Sacrificing one daughter's happiness can save the entire Cui family, so Cui's father agreed.

Cui Shijiu took the lotus platform to meet King Tan. On the way, he saw dandelions blooming on the side and lamented that his fate was like a piece of grass and he had no control over it.Mr. Zheng approached and greeted her. Cui Jiujiu had been engaged to this person before. This time Mr. Zheng also heard about Cui's affairs. He pretended to help Cui Jiujiu, and then took advantage of Cui Jiujiu's unpreparedness to kill him.She is knocked unconscious and steals the lotus dais.Now that the precious lotus platform has been lost, Cui Shijiu has completely fallen into despair.

The fleet was heading towards Shaozhou. Zhang Jinran thought of investigating the Yue family, so he also ordered his men to go to Shaozhou.The fleet had been at sea for many days and was very bored. Yan Zijing gave an order that whoever could win today's competition would give them the entire table of venison.When Dragon Boat Festival heard that Xiao Xiami had never eaten venison, she took the risk and started competing. During the competition, she begged Yan Zijing to allow her to share the meat equally with every slave after she won. Yan Zijing agreed.

Duanwu lived up to expectations and actually won by relying on her agility and wit. Yan Zijing found that she did everything by herself and was especially good at daggers, so she asked her subordinates to give Duanwu a dagger to use.

Dragon Boat Festival was very excited to get the dagger. He thought it was a kind gift from the other party, so he immediately returned the gift with a crossbow he developed that could be worn on the wrist.These days, Duanwu has been thinking about the words on the parchment. Once Yan Zijing said that he knew him, Duanwu took the initiative to come to ask for advice.

Yan Zijing didn't recognize the exotic characters on it at all, but he had exactly the same jewelry painted on it. When he took it out to show Duan Wu, Duan Wu was quite surprised that he could finally see the jewelry on the painting.

When he arrived in Shaozhou, Yan Zijing learned from his subordinates that there was a famous local jewelry sculptor named Jade Guanyin named Yue Yunxiu. The objects carved by her hands were lifelike and exquisite.After Yan Zijing got off the ship, he visited the Yue family in person. At that time, the door of the Yue family was crowded with people. It turned out that it was the day when the Yue family wanted to choose a son-in-law. Yan Zijing was happy to watch the excitement, so he also entered the Yue family house on the pretext of proposing marriage.

In the hall, many men were looking intently at the woman sitting quietly sculpting in the middle. This woman was born with a good face, her skin was like cream, and her face was like a peach blossom. She was not only beautiful and fragrant, but also had exquisite craftsmanship. Although she was surrounded by many distractions, she stillStill concentrating and staying on top of the mountain.Yan Zijing traveled all over the country and met countless people. When he saw the accessories on the woman's waist, his face changed color.This string of fish beads was carved by his own hands when he was young and given to his sister as a birthday gift. Now that his sister has been missing for many years, and now he sees a very similar person here, Yan Zijing will not give up easily.

While sitting at the banquet, a man began to bid for the items in Jade Guanyin's hands. Yan Zijing knew that this was a competition for betrothal gifts, so he immediately offered a high price and was willing to spend all his family wealth to marry Jade Guanyin.

Duan Wu saw this ingenious girl and she looked otherworldly. However, within two minutes, Yan Zijing was willing to spend all his wealth to marry another girl. Duan Wu thought it was unreasonable, not to mention that Yan Zijing was an extremely thoughtful person.Duan Wu wanted to find out what happened, but Yan Zijing did not reveal anything and instead urged Duan Wu to propose marriage as soon as possible.

On the next day, Duanwu went to see Jade Guanyin and saw that she was really focused on carving jade pieces. She also saw the flying apsara statue in Jade Guanyin's room. This flying apsara statue was what Duanwu had seen in the parchment scrolls. It was not only the flying apsaras.For example, during the Dragon Boat Festival, I also saw many finished paintings.

Duanwu went back and told Yan Zijing that Yue Yunxiu only liked white jade. Yan Zijing immediately ordered his men to give all the white jade in the boat to Yue Yunxiu.When I saw Yue Yunxiu again during the Dragon Boat Festival, I also found that there was something wrong with the goat milk she used to soak her hands. Yue Yunxiu said that the goat milk was sent by her father, but for some reason, after soaking it for a few days, she found that her hands were weak and...Pain symptoms occurred.Yue Yunxiu did not agree to soak her hands, but because of her father's pressure, she quietly took the water for soaking her hands away before leaving at the Dragon Boat Festival. She quickly took the water to a medical clinic, but the doctor judged that the water for soaking her hands was poisonous.

Duanwu boldly speculated that the father of Jade Guanyin was afraid that after his daughter got married, the jade items left behind would depreciate in value. In order to make these collections orphans, he hatched a vicious plan. As long as something unexpected happened to Jade Guanyin, these collections would be lost.Appreciation immediately.

Zhang Jinran also came to Shaozhou and happened to see Duanwu near Yue's house. When the two were delighted, Zhang Jinran told Duanwu the clues he found at Yue's house. Duanwu had originally doubted Yan Zijing's true identity when he saw the flying statue. Now from Zhang JinranI heard from my mouth that the Yan family of Yangzhou was the previous owner of Hepu. At that time, the Yan family was a famous treasure dealer in Yangzhou. The national gift was the flying apsara statue on a lotus platform. Once it was presented to the court, it would become the leading jeweler in the country. However, in the palaceDuring the banquet, the national treasure suddenly shattered, and then the palace people discovered that all the jewelry was fake. Just when the emperor was about to punish the Yan family to find out the truth, all the Yan family were exterminated, and the case was dropped after that.

The clever Duanwu carefully related the entire incident, and suddenly realized that Yan Zijing's true identity should be the Yan family!Therefore, the girl he would rather spend all his money to marry should be his biological sister.

Yan Zijing came to Lao Yue again and asked Zhang to help him buy some jade. Later, he found out that it was fake. The other party said that it was all Lao Yue's fault, so he asked Yan Zijing to find Lao Yue.Lao Yue was trembling after hearing this, and couldn't help but say that Mrs. Zhang already knew that the jade was fake, and Yan Zijing was going to report it to the official.

Lao Yue was afraid of being caught, so he immediately agreed to discuss that he could marry Yue Yunxiu to him at an easy price.Yan Zijing was so angry that she whipped him with a whip, admitting that she was his biological sister and did not need Lao Yue to send her away.Lao Yue felt even more strange and explained that Yue Yunxiu was the illegitimate daughter of his eldest brother and his mother. After his eldest brother passed away, his mother fostered the illegitimate daughter here. Moreover, he also picked up the string of beads himself, and the sister Yan Zijing mentioned was alsoThe person wearing the bead fell off his horse and died many years ago.

Yan Zijing was so angry that he was trembling all over. He had been looking for his sister's whereabouts for these years, but he didn't expect that she was already dead. Yan Zijing was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword and kill Lao Yue. Fortunately, the servants and Duanwu tried their best to stop him, and saw Yan ZijingHeartbroken, Duan Wu felt the same way. On the day he left the Pearl Tower, he watched his mother being killed by a J man in order to protect her. The only person he cared about in the world was cut off from her. It was a life worse than death.

In order to help Yan Zijing cope with the pain of bereavement, the Dragon Boat Festival drank together in the evening. The two talked about their missing sister and their mother who had previously been warm and caring for them. They comforted each other, and the two wounded hearts began to get closer.Dragon Boat Festival told Yan Zijing to remember that you can see the light when you raise your head, and at that moment, Yan Zijing was completely warmed.

Cui Jiujiu lost the lotus platform and didn't even have the last bargaining chip. Sitting on the sedan chair, Cui Jiujiu decided to make a desperate move. The Cui family pearls once opened a shop in Wuzhi, but it was just because Cui Ba was cheating and coveting the leader of the Cui family.position, Cui's father drove him to Wuzhi.Wuzhi's business seems to be doing well now, and Cui Ba has extensive resources, so he should be able to get pearls.

We finally arrived at Wuzhi. Although the outside world said this was a land of wealth, people were starving and dying. A mother who was dying of hunger begged Cui Jiu, hoping that she could take in her hungry child and give her a way to live.Cui Shijiu really asked his men to give money to this poor mother.

Cui Ba was quite surprised when he saw Cui Jiu. Cui Jiu was eloquent and said that his father had now put aside his grudge and was willing to write him back into the family tree.Cui Ba had saved a little over the years, so he was naturally willing to learn from others, so he decided to trust Cui Shijiu for the time being. He quietly told his subordinates that if they didn't see the token in Cui Shijiu's hand at the dinner, they would make another plan.

Lao Yue was controlled by Yan Zijing and could not bear the torture. He immediately claimed that Cui Ba was also involved in the fraud. Originally, Cui Ba and the Cui family were colluding, but Cui Shijiu's father fought secretly with Cui Baming and was later driven out by Cui Ba.When they arrived in Wuling, in addition to Cui Ba, there were also the Lilong Bandits. These gangs were so vicious that it was not difficult to massacre the entire Yan family.As soon as Lao Yue finished explaining, the government sent someone.

Yan Zijing brought the Feitian statue brought from the Yue family to Duanwu. He asked Duanwu to take out the blood beads, and then placed the blood beads in the hands of the Feitian statue fairy. They immediately became one. It turned out that the blood beads and the Feitian statue were one.Duanwu thought that the person who carved the flying statue was Yu Shi, and excitedly asked Yan Zijing if he could find him in the Western Regions.Yan Zijing looked at Duan Wu's face anxious to find out the truth, and continued hesitantly that Yu Shi was indeed Duan Wu's father and the chief craftsman of Yanzhou. Ba Niang was once a maid, and Yu Shi later died because of the Yan family in Yangzhou.

Why did the tribute turn out to be a fake? Duanwu was eager to know which link had gone wrong. Yan Zijing told her that it was Lilong Pirates who sent the royal tribute.

That night, Duanwu burst into tears. Originally, she thought she could find her father and at least have a relative. Unexpectedly, her parents died, and she no longer thought about her in this world.

At the banquet, Cui Jiu unexpectedly received the family head's token and gave the order in public. Now Cui's father has decided to hand over Wuling's minerals to Cui Jiu.Everyone was in an uproar, and Cui Ba fainted after hearing the news.

After Cui Ba passed out, he suddenly developed epileptic symptoms. He lay on the bed, gasping for air and having difficulty breathing. His personal guard called many doctors, but to no avail.

Cui Ba fainted inexplicably. Cui Shijiu was not surprised. She asked the maid next to her to prepare a pair of decoctions and slowly poured them into Cui Ba. Unexpectedly, she woke up leisurely.Cui Ba's guards were suspicious of the decoction in Cui Jiu's hand. Cui Jiu said that every Cui family member would have a strange disease, and he often got sick, so he would carry the prescription with him.Cui Ba's bodyguard stopped talking. Regardless of whether what Cui Shijiu said was true or not, Cui Ba still needed the antidote in Cui Shijiu's hands, so there was no movement for the time being.

The maid asked Cui Jiu if he really had a strange disease. Cui Jiu had heard Aye say that it seemed that lantana could relieve Cui Ba's allergic symptoms, but it was just a temporary solution now.

Yan Zijing was about to continue rushing to the Western Regions to find the Lilong thief. In order to avenge his father, Duan Wu begged Yan Zijing to take her with him. Yue Yunxiu, the girl who had just been rescued, was temporarily homeless and left Guangzhou with Yan Zijing and the others.

During the long journey, Yan Zijing asked Duan Wu to learn how to make tea in order to pass the time. Duan Wu picked up the tea stove for the first time and carefully followed the steps to cook it. Duan Wu was not used to it and muttered that he wanted to learn business skills from Yan Zijing, notFollowing the example of some terminals, Zhang Jinran tried to be mysterious and reminded her to make tea first and everything could be discussed easily, but Dragon Boat Festival was not easy to fool. She repeatedly added water to Yan Zijing's tea. Yan Zijing could see Dragon Boat Festival's plot and teased her a few times.Later, Yan Zijing began to teach Duan Wu how to identify Nanyang jewelry.

Duanwu felt that Yan Zijing's temperament was like an emerald gem, and Zhang Jinran and Cui Shijiu were like moonstones. Duanwu also joked that emeralds and moonstones go well together. Yan Zijing did not agree with Duanwu's suggestion.I think pearls and gemstones look even more dazzling when paired with each other.

Yan Zijing's motorcade decided to stop for a rest, and happened to meet Zhang Jinran and his party. Yue Yunxiu's father was now a criminal and was tied high to the carriage and slept in the open.

Zhang Jinran and Yan Zijing competed in chicken shooting. Yan Zijing was quick and decisive in killing, but Zhang Jinran didn't like killing because of compassion. Duanwu asked Yan Zijing to teach her archery. Zhang Jinran watched Yan Zijing and Duanwu rely on each other so much.It's so close that I can't help but feel jealous.

During the break, Zhang Jinran chatted with Duanwu and told her a story about a shark and a scholar. The two fell in love with each other, but the shark could not go ashore and the scholar could not enter the sea. In the end, the scholar searched all over the country to find a cure for the shark and went to sea.The recipe.Zhang Jinran felt that this story was very regrettable, but Dragon Boat Festival was not pessimistic. Getting acquainted was already the best outcome, and why should people from two different worlds force it.Zhang Jinran wanted to use this allusion to express his feelings to Duanwu, and Duanwu responded appropriately: reality is not a legend after all, and many things ultimately failed to the cold reality.

Yan Zijing's caravan met Cao Da during the journey. Cao Da was once caught stealing treasure while Yan Zijing was in jail. He was kicked out of the caravan and wandered around. Now that he met Yan Zijing again, he was naturally not happy.Zisheng hopes to return to the caravan.Yan Zijing let Duanwu decide, and Duanwu put aside his grudge and was willing to let Cao Da return.

The caravan finally arrived in Wuling. Yan Zijing saw many people here praying for blessings and giving out porridge and drinks, so he guessed that a big shot in the city must be sick. Zhang Jinran doubted Yan Zijing's motive for coming here. Yan Zijing said that he was doing business, and Zhang JinranI'm just here to investigate the case, so I won't be able to stay in the Octagon Building tonight.
