stern wife

Chapter 78 Invulnerable
Seeing that Pei Xiaoran was holding such a precious jade pendant with one hand, the attendant was quite dissatisfied, so he took the jade pendant with both hands, and held it carefully in front of King Li.

Li Wang raised his hand to pick up the jade pendant, maybe it was because the girl kept putting it against his arm, the jade pendant that was originally cold had a slight temperature, and the tentacles were warm and moist, which was better than the original one.

"Yes."

He gave the answer very simply, then shifted his gaze from the jade pendant to Pei Xiaoran, and asked quite curiously:
"Can you tell me how you found it?"

After hearing that this piece of jade pendant was indeed lost by King Li, Pei Xingshan turned his head and glanced at Pei Xiaoran, with a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, this daughter... obviously found it, but told him she didn't find it, how dare she tease him!
Emperor Chixuan immediately smiled, and rarely echoed King Li's words:

"Yes, I am also very curious, how did Xiaoran find this jade pendant? Or within three short days?"

He has also been paying attention to this matter. He thought that Pei Xiaoran would cause a storm in the city, but there was no movement at all.

I heard that she went back to her natal home with her mother on the second day of junior high school, and only came back when it was dark, and only two days were left after three days of life.

I didn't expect that with only these two days, she would be able to successfully complete the task without making a sound. It really makes people wonder, can't figure it out~
Pei Xiaoran turned back to Emperor Chixuan, bowed his head and responded respectfully:

"Returning to Your Majesty, although Xiaoran boasted that he would find it within three days, in fact, it also requires a little luck.

First of all, His Royal Highness Li Wang lost the jade pendant on the way before entering the capital, so the person who picked up the jade pendant must have been in and out of the capital. Beijing, then first set the scope of this person within Beijing.

What His Royal Highness Li Wang lost was not an ordinary thing, but a valuable jade pendant. Then, we can first determine the types of people who picked up the jade pendant.

This can be summed up in the following ways:
One is people who are not short of money and have a wealthy family.

The second is people who lack money and whose families are not very rich.

The third is people who have a soft spot for treasures regardless of whether they are rich or not, and don't even care how much money the treasures can be exchanged for.

If he meets the third type of person, it will be miserable for Xiaoran, because this kind of person will definitely not hand over the jade pendant obediently, but fortunately, Xiaoran meets the second type of person.

How is this judged?Because His Majesty posted the reward notices all over the city on the first day, almost everyone in Zhijing knew that whoever picked up King Li's jade pendant and handed it in obediently would get a reward of 1000 taels of silver.

For those who are wealthy and not short of money, rather than keeping this jade pendant, they might as well hand over the jade pendant. They don't care about 1000 taels, but if they can get His Majesty's generous appreciation...it is worth more than anything else.

But after the first day passed, no one took the initiative to stand up and hand it in, which meant that the person who picked up the jade pendant must not be a wealthy person in the family.

But since you're not rich, you can get 1000 taels of silver if you hand it over, so it's a good deal if you hand it over~
No, people have desires. What if this jade pendant is worth more than 1000 taels?What if it is worth 1 taels, or even more?

The person who picked up the jade pendant and his family is not rich certainly doesn't want to hand it over. He wants to find someone to estimate how much the jade pendant is worth, and then decide whether to hand it over or sell it elsewhere secretly.

But who should make the estimate?Now the whole capital is looking for this jade pendant, once he takes out the jade pendant, what should he do if his acquaintances see it and tell the story?What if someone you don't know sees Cai and takes things away?
So at this time, what he needs most is a person who can help him identify the authenticity of the jade pendant, how much it is worth, and someone who can not see the money.

Then, Xiaoran asked his uncle to hire a person who could identify all kinds of treasures. On the morning of the third day, he used the excuse of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, claiming that he was willing to appraise treasures for everyone for only a penny, and went to the city to set up treasures. Tan, the person who picked up the jade pendant would naturally deliver it to his door.

And Xiaoran has already asked His Royal Highness Li Wang for the blueprint of the jade pendant, and he can tell which piece is the lost jade pendant just by following the blueprint. "

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and couldn't recover for a long time.

This... Could the twists and turns in this be something such a young child can think of?
Even adults like them have to listen to it for a long time before they can understand the mystery!

Li Wang was the first to react, and couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing:
"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Emperor Chi Xuan also twisted his beard and nodded, and said slowly:

"If you let the person who set up the stall use his own good deeds as an excuse, then he will definitely not see the money and steal people's treasures, and he is willing to appraise the treasures for only one penny, which makes him more sure that he is a 'good man', and The person who picked up the jade pendant is not an acquaintance with him. Since he is not an acquaintance, he will not know that his jade pendant is not his own, and he will not go out and talk around... So, this is the best choice for the person who found the jade pendant However, I still have a question. Since your purpose is to find this jade pendant, why do you have to find someone who can identify all kinds of treasures? You just need to find someone to pretend, after all, according to the blueprint Who doesn't know how to find jade pendants? Isn't it more convenient like this?"

Pei Xiaoran smiled and said:

"Such people are indeed easier to find, but the people who go to appraise treasures are not only the ones who picked up the jade pendant, but also many ordinary people. Now that the treasures are precious, they will definitely not want to work hard anymore, they just want to exchange treasures for a lot of money to squander. The shopkeeper didn't know how to counter-offer the price, and he might not be able to collect enough money to save his life... Therefore, Xiao Ran didn't dare to fool around, so he asked his uncle for help, and invited a person who really knows how to appraise treasures."

Emperor Chixuan showed a sudden look, then shook his head and said in shame:
"I didn't expect this level, I was negligent."

"Your Majesty is serious. Your Majesty manages a lot of things every day, and it is human nature to be negligent occasionally."

The answer was beautiful, and Emperor Chixuan's expression eased a lot, and he praised without hesitation:
"Xiaoran has such a thoughtful mind at such a young age, and he can still think about the people. It is really rare. I will definitely reward you heavily!"

Pei Xiaoran knelt down to salute again without being surprised, and shouted:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

But this time when she knelt down, she no longer had the strength to get up.
