Mystery. Mistake. Love

"Young master, please come inside." Boss Tan of Tianjinzhuang politely invited Zhan Zhao into the secret room, leaving only the restless Ah Fu waiting anxiously outside.

"Boss Tan, please." Zhan Zhao raised his hand and just followed him.

After the two of them were polite, they had already entered the secret room. Boss Tan turned around and raised his hand to close the heavy door, lowered the latch, and then let Zhan Zhao sit on the front seat. He threw away his robe and suddenly knelt down in front of Zhan Zhao, clasped his fists and charged. Seeing Zhan Zhao, he lowered his head and shouted,

"Young master, Old Tan greets you."

Zhan Zhao was startled, couldn't sit still anymore, quickly stood up and walked over to help him up, and said in fear,

"Uncle Tan, what are you doing? Get up!"

With his support, Boss Tan stood up with difficulty, held Zhan Zhao's hand with both hands, then looked at him carefully, and suddenly said with tears,

"Young master, let me see, you are so old, if the master and wife are still here, you must be very happy."

Zhan Zhao smiled and let him watch, then pointed to the chair next to him and said,

"Uncle Tan, sit down quickly too. I remember visiting your place with my father when I was young. I didn't expect you to still recognize me after so many years. I don't know how Uncle Tan has been all these years?"

Boss Tan couldn't help nodding,

"I'm fine, thank you for thinking about me. Young master, you don't know how much you look like the master. I recognized you as soon as you entered the door. I came here specially. I just heard that it was for the master. The birthday gift chosen by the wife is here, isn't it?"

Zhan Zhao suddenly felt a little embarrassed, nodded and said,

"Well, in fact, I also visited several shops in Beijing, but there was nothing good to look at, so I suddenly thought of the famous Tianjinzhuang, and I also thought that I hadn't come to greet you for many years. "

"Young master, please don't flatter me like this. I can't bear it. Having said that, your appearance and easy-going temperament, the more you look like the master when you were young. I followed him since I was a child. Who would have thought that I would just leave so After half a year, something like that happened." Boss Tan said, tears streaming down again.

"Uncle Tan, it's been so many years. Don't be sad. My father and uncle have lived up to their trust. It's just that my grandmother is suffering. When I get older, I have to send white-haired people to black-haired people. Then my aunt will be lonely and helpless. It would have been even more difficult for her if Grandma Ding hadn't taken her back to Mohua Village."

Boss Tan nodded,

"I don't know how the eldest grandma has been doing these years. I am guarding the shop here, and it is not convenient to visit her and the eldest lady."

Both Zhan Zhao and Boss Tan sat down again and said,

"My aunt and cousin are fine, I will take them with me when I see them."

Boss Tan looked at him, then asked with concern,

"Young master, how are you in Ding's family? I think you are in good spirits. Have you recovered from your heart problems when you were young? I heard they said that the young master of Ding's family sent you to Guangdong to learn kung fu, and even went to Beijing to study." ?”

Zhan Zhao smiled,

"Uncle Tan's news is really well-informed. Yes, my father wants me to learn some boxing and kicks to strengthen my physique. I didn't expect to hit the right one. On the contrary, I learned a lot of kung fu, and my heart problems have improved a lot, especially after all these years. Why did I get sick? Later, I went to Beijing to study in middle school and stayed there for many years. Uncle Tan, I want to ask you." When Zhan Zhao said this, he paused and didn't finish his sentence.

Boss Tan saw the expression on his face and immediately guessed what he was going to ask, nodded with a smile and said,

"I went back to see your grandmother last year. She is a very good old lady with a very strong body. Zhanjiazhuang has developed well in recent years. The third and fourth children help her manage the affairs of the village. You don't have to worry about it. "

Zhan Zhao raised his hand and said,

"Uncle Tan, I have a life in my life. I can't go back unless it is absolutely necessary. You and your uncles all know this. I have been separated from my grandmother for these years, and I am really ashamed and uncomfortable for not being able to perform my filial piety in front of her old man, but Due to the situation, I dare not disobey her old man's will. So, please do your best for me, and Zhan Zhao should be here to salute Uncle Tan, thank you."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and was about to kneel down towards Boss Tan, so scared that Boss Tan immediately stretched out his arms to catch him.

"Young master, what are you doing? Aren't you trying to shorten my life? Don't worry, I will bring your heart to the old lady. Having said that, this time, old lady Ding celebrates her birthday. There are some good things, young master, you can pick and choose."

After speaking, he stood up, walked to a vase, twisted it left and right, and the wall on the other side slid to one side automatically. He walked in, and after a while, he came out with a tray and put it on Zhan Zhao's body. at the table next to him, and said,

"Young master, which one do you like? These are the best in our village."

Zhan Zhao saw it, opened his eyes wide, and said,

"Uncle Tan, there are really good things here, I'm dazzled."

He said, touching this, and looking at that under the light, suddenly a black crescent-shaped jade pendant attracted his attention, he picked it up, and saw the jade pendant emitting a soft light green light under the light, and then the light It became more and more prosperous, and the word auspicious on the jade pendant seemed to be rippling in the blue waves.

Boss Tan saw that his eyes were full of love, so he said,

"You can pick it. This is the best of Burmese royal jade. Although it is not the treasure of the town, it is quite precious."

Zhan Zhao blinked, frowned slightly and asked,

"This seems to be a couple, right?"

"Well," Boss Tan thought of the buyer of another jade pendant, and smiled,

"Yes, this is a pair of pendants. The day before yesterday, there was a buyer. I thought it was a good match, so I asked him to choose. Unexpectedly, he picked another wishful pendant at a glance, so I asked him to buy it. Who would have thought of you? I will come over today, but I have also taken a fancy to this auspicious wishful adornment!"

"Oh? That's really a coincidence. But it's not a problem, I think this single wear is also very good, especially the light, it's really superb, and the meaning is also good."

Boss Tan also laughed,

"Your temperament is quite similar to the master. If a greedy person hears that this is a pair of pendants, he will definitely try his best to find out the whereabouts of the other one, and then try his best to get the other one together." You are easy to be satisfied. Hahaha, it’s funny to say, although this pair of jade pendants is wishful and auspicious, but it was originally used as a dowry for the princess of the Burmese royal family, and the two together are also a marriage pendant. However, you This one only needs to be a birthday gift, and the other one doesn't know who the buyer is, hehehe, I think your marriage is gone."

It was only then that Zhan Zhao knew the other meaning of the jade pendant. He was a little embarrassed when he heard that Boss Tan was making fun of him.

"Okay, young master, I'm not joking. I think it's getting late, and it looks like it's going to rain. Do you want to stay with me for one night?"

Zhan Zhao quickly shook his head and said,

"No, Uncle Tan, one is that we are in a hurry, and the other is that I can't stay here long."

He said that he took out two bags of silver from his gown, and was about to pay, but Boss Tan hurriedly stopped him,

"I said young master, what are you doing?! Don't talk about this jade pendant, the whole Zhuangzi will be yours in the future, aren't you slapping me in the face? Take it back."

Zhan Zhao wanted to give way again, but Boss Tan hurriedly stood up, picked up the tray, and said,

"I'll tidy up here, and wrap up that jade pendant for you by the way, so hurry up."

Just like that, Zhan Zhao took this auspicious jade pendant and set off on the road. He didn't know that Bai Yutang, whom he met in the teahouse, was holding another wishful pendant, let alone that the love between the two had ended like this. It was arranged by God.

Speaking of which, on the day he returned to Mohua Village, Zhan Zhao saw that everyone was looking at him expectantly, and finally settled down, and took out a box from his sleeve, with a smile on his face, opened the box and handed it up.Mrs. Ding took it over, picked it up and looked at it, she looked different, and then said with a smile,

"The two of you are indeed the best of the best, and even the things you choose are equally extraordinary. Well, what a pair of auspicious wishful pendants!" She said, and took out the one from Bai Yutang earlier, and the two jade pendants In one place, they are dazzling and eye-catching.

Everyone was surprised to see that what the old lady took out of the box turned out to be the other one of the Moyu pair. Even Ding Zhaozhong, who was looking for a good show, was dumbfounded.Among them, Bai Yutang was the one who reacted most calmly. He looked at Zhan Zhao calmly, his eyes seemed to be puzzled, but also somewhat clear, and then he smiled.Zhan Zhao didn't look at him, but said openly,

"Grandmother, Yutang and I came to the Miaojiaji, and we all fell in love with these Ruyi auspicious auspicious pendants in Tianjinzhuang, and bought this pair as a birthday gift by a complete coincidence. It seems that it should be arranged by heaven. , this wishful auspiciousness is a special blessing from God to you."

The old lady Ding was very happy, hugged her grandson, and waved to Bai Yutang, the latter immediately moved forward, Ding Yuehua immediately stood in front of Bai Yutang, Bai Yutang pushed her away unconvinced, the old lady saw said happily,

"Okay, with you good children, I will be happy. Hahaha!"
