It was a string of Dongzhu beads that was almost the size of a quail egg, dotted with bright red corals, a butterfly hairpin made of colorful glass, and a black stone-like object the size of a fist.
Su Bei thought the Dongzhu Flower Hairpin was beautiful, but she didn’t feel anything special about it. She was just particularly curious about the stone.
"What's this?"
"Hey! I knew you knew what you were talking about!" Prince Jin said with a smile as he looked at the black stone. "Touch it and try it!"
"Is this a reward from the emperor?" Su Bei reached out his hand suspiciously and touched the black stone, but immediately retracted his hand in fear, "What is this?"
"What are you afraid of? Touch it carefully and see if it is soft and warm?" Prince Jin said again.
Su Bei raised his head and looked at him in confusion, "What on earth is this?"
"Touch it again! This is a good thing, worth a fortune!" Prince Jin said excitedly.
When Su Bei heard this, he became even more curious about the thing, so he reached out to touch it again. Sure enough, the thing was soft, warm, and bouncy.
"It's like jelly, is it edible?" She couldn't help but pursed her lips and chuckled.
Prince Jin also laughed secretly, "You are a foodie like me! I won't tell you, guess it yourself!"
Su Bei picked it up and squeezed it in his palm. "So soft and bouncy!"
"Right, it's fun! Let me tell you..."
Before Prince Jin finished speaking, he heard hurried footsteps, accompanied by Chu Younan's angry shout, "What are you doing?"
The two of them looked over quickly and saw that Chu Younan's face was as gloomy as the sky before a rainstorm, and they looked at him in confusion.
Chu Younan's eyes wandered between Prince Jin and Su Bei's faces. The anger in his heart almost burned him to death. He just heard Su Bei mumbling about how soft and elastic it was. The two of them were standing so close to each other. Could it be that Su Bei really touched Prince Jin's face? ! But his eyes soon stopped at the black thing in Su Bei's hand. He was immediately shocked, "Tai Sui?! Where did it come from?"
Prince Jin asked for credit, "Third brother, you know this, this is a good thing, I found it specially for you from the imperial treasury!"
Chu Younan hurried forward, took the Tai Sui from Su Bei's hand, and looked at it carefully. This thing is very hard to find, and it is said to have the miraculous effect of replenishing blood and regenerating muscles. If you cut off a small piece of it and keep it in a water tank, it will grow back well.
"I heard that father only has three. How could he be willing to let you take them?" Chu Younan asked suspiciously.
"Well! Let me tell you, I went to see the emperor with the things I collected from your warehouse. He was so happy that he let me choose from the warehouse myself. Look, I picked out the glazed hairpin that was tributed from the Yu Kingdom, and this Tai Sui. Then I brought them to you. Do you think I am very good to you?" Prince Jin smiled with his eyes narrowed, looking flattering.
Chu Younan glanced at the glazed hairpin, then at the string of oriental pearls, and finally set his eyes on the Tai Sui in his hand, "You can play with those two, I only need this."
Prince Jin curled his lips and said, "I'm not married yet, unlike you, why would I need that thing? Look at Ah Bei, she's wearing no makeup, but she's already in bed with you, and you didn't even bother to give her some jewelry or something to give her a higher status!"
Chu Younan turned her gaze to Su Bei again, but she didn't look at the flower hairpin and Dongzhu, but kept looking at Tai Sui. She was thinking, "I don't want to wear such gorgeous jewelry. The prince treasures this Tai Sui so much, it must be a good thing. But he is so stingy, how can he be willing to give me such a good thing!"
Chu Younan was immediately confused. Why was he so stingy?
But this Tai Sui really can't be given to her.
He said, "Go away, you are so young, what are you talking about all day? Have you done your thing?"
Prince Jin looked at him with a smile and said coquettishly, "Third brother, you see I'm so good to you and have given you so many good things. Don't you want to let me take a look in your private vault?"
"You!" Chu Younan couldn't help but laugh, "It's as if you've never seen anything good!"
"Oh! Let me tell you, I have already told my father that when I see someone I like, I will go and tell him about it, and he will definitely agree. But I have to ask Jinrong's opinion first, right? If he already has a lover, it would not be good for me to force him to marry her!" Prince Jin took two steps forward, grabbed his sleeve, and looked at him softly with his big eyes.
Su Bei thought to himself: Don't think he's unreasonable, he's quite reliable in this matter! Unlike Chu Younan, who always wants me to sleep with him!
Chu Younan's mouth twitched, and he said, "Guizi, put those two things in the warehouse! And move a pot of lotus to my room!"
Then, he walked towards the dormitory, "Come with me, Ah Bei, you come too!"
Su Bei curled his lips: This stingy prince has a private vault? He is so stingy on weekdays, so he must have hidden a lot of good things! Chu Younan walked in front, and his mouth twitched again. He was the one who put the silver in the ice cellar that day, and he was too lazy to explain to her about the chicken soup. How could he be stingy? Several people came to the bedroom. Chu Younan walked to a painting and gently turned the celadon vase next to it. With a light click, the floor tiles in front of him split to both sides, revealing a three-foot square black hole.
"Go down!" He said that and did not move. Instead, he watched Prince Jin go down first with a look of excitement on his face, and then he grabbed Su Bei's hand.
Su Bei was suddenly held by a big hand. He was startled at first, then looked up at him, only to see him looking at him with a half-smile.
"I..." I can walk by myself.
Before Su Bei finished speaking, Chu Younan said, "Hei, be careful!"
After saying that, he pulled her down the stairs without waiting for her to speak again.
There was light at the entrance of the cave at first. After everyone went down, Chu Younan touched a spot on the wall, and the floor tiles closed with a click, and it became pitch black inside.
Su Bei had no choice but to let him lead the way forward. Fortunately, King Jin in front lit an oil lamp, so he could barely see the road.
After walking down the stairs for a while, the three of them walked forward along the road for a while, and then Prince Jin pushed open a door, and their sight brightened up.
When he entered the room, Su Bei looked around and found that the source of the glow was a plate on the table, which contained a plate of luminous pearls the size of pigeon eggs.
Wow! He turned out to be a rich man! She sighed inwardly and looked around. She saw that the room was about 30 to 40 meters square. There was a shelf against the wall on the left hand side, on which were placed a lot of calligraphy and paintings, a few knives, some books, and some bottles and jars. There were two boxes against the wall opposite, with lids on them. She didn't know what was inside. There was also a shelf on the right hand side, on which were some boxes.
Prince Jin did not look at the boxes, but went straight to the side where the books were placed, pulled out a dagger, and chopped at the wooden box.
With one cut, there was a dull sound and a corner of the wooden box fell off.
"Third brother really has something good!" Prince Jin put away the dagger with a look of joy on his face and said, "I want this!"
Chu Younan curled his lips and said, "You are giving something to a girl. What kind of knife do you want? Come over here and take a look!"
"No, no, no! Third brother, you don't know!" Prince Jin said excitedly, "Jinrong is different from other girls. She doesn't like those girly things. Besides medical books, she only likes swords!"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the pile of books again.
Without waiting for him to speak, Chu Younan quickly let go of Su Bei's hand, stepped forward, and blocked the pile of books, "You can take the dagger, but not the book!"
