"Why is it so serious?" Gao Yanei asked in a lost voice.
"What else can I do? Sparks fly. Sparks fly everywhere."
"Sparks flying?" Gao Yanei made a gurgling sound in his throat. It was too unbelievable.
"The Western world is a barbaric land. There aren't many etiquettes between men and women, nor is there a rule of physical intimacy. When the queen saw my cousin looking so 'graceful', she couldn't help but jump out of her sedan chair and walk straight to him, chattering away. My cousin chatted back, and so... cough cough!"
Gao Yanei saw that Zhang Shixun had stopped talking and asked anxiously, "What are they talking about?"
Zhang Shixun glanced at Wang Dong secretly, but Wang Dong curled his lips and said, "Make it up! Keep making it up. I want to see if you can come up with something more elaborate."
Zhang Shixun chuckled and continued, "Think about it, Young Master. One is a fairy flower from the paradise of heaven, and the other is a flawless jade. If the two meet, do you believe nothing will happen?"
Gao Yanei looked at Wang Dong, who had an ugly eating manner, and felt that this guy was something out of the toilet, and had nothing to do with "flawless jade".
"Yanei, let me ask you, if these two people meet and no romantic story happens, do you believe it?" Zhang Shixun asked again.
"romantic?"
"Romance means wind and flow."
"This..." Gao Yanei didn't know how to answer and looked at Wang Dong again.
"Don't look at him. He wasn't this wretched back then... I've already said that he was quite handsome back then."
"Oh, go on." Gao Yanei seemed to be unconvinced.
"...My cousin only had one encounter with the queen, and he immediately captured her heart. Of course, he was also deeply bewitched by the queen. He spent every day wandering around the palace gate like a lost soul. After wandering back and forth, he finally found a way to get in."
"What method?" Gao Yanei asked anxiously.
Zhang Shixun seemed hesitant.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Gao Yanei urged.
"Yanei, my cousin is looking for a woman, why are you so anxious?" Zhang Shixun teased him deliberately.
"I...I'm a man too, of course I want to know."
"Are you a man too?" Zhang Shixun pretended to be stupid.
"Bah!" Gao Yanei was unhappy, but he didn't care to dwell on it. He asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly, how did your cousin get into the palace?"
"You really want to know?"
"think!"
"Well... okay, I'm telling you, don't tell anyone about it outside."
"Okay! I promise you, I won't go out and tell anyone."
Zhang Shixun glanced at Wang Dong and saw that he seemed not to have heard anything, so he felt relieved and continued, "My cousin found a dog hole in a corner of the palace..."
Zhang Shixun stopped here and winked at Gao Yanei.
Gao Yanei burst into laughter. "I understand now. So your cousin sneaked into the palace through a dog hole and had a good time with the queen."
Zhang Shixun smiled and nodded. "They were deeply in love, but they were so caught up in their happiness that they forgot that there's no such thing as a broken wall. Not long after, their affair was discovered by the king. He flew into a rage, roaring and ordering his soldiers to imprison the queen. He also sent a cavalry unit to capture my cousin..."
"And then?"
"Luckily, my cousin got wind of it beforehand and jumped on his horse and ran off. He was truly as busy as a lost dog and as anxious as a fish that had escaped the net..."
Wang Dong spat out a chicken bone and said, "Bah! Zhang Shixun, you bastard, can you be more disgusting?"
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Zhang Shixun said with a wicked smile.
"I'll settle the score with you later." After Wang Dong finished the chicken in his hand, he turned his eyes to the plate of mutton in front of Zhang Shixun.
Zhang Shixun tactfully pushed the plate in front of him.
"Don't stop, keep talking." Gao Yanei urged.
"...My cousin panicked and rushed his horse forward, not noticing the cliff ahead. As a result, he and his horse fell off..."
"Ah! He died so suddenly?" Gao Yanei asked in a lost voice.
Zhang Shixun nodded at Wang Dong and looked at Gao Yanei with a smile.
Gao Yanei smiled awkwardly.
"Fortunately, there was a pond at the bottom of the cliff. My cousin was lucky enough not to fall to his death and escaped by hiding in the reeds. After the pursuing soldiers left, he slept in the open air, traveled by day and night, and finally returned to where our family was. He fell to the ground and fell seriously ill. His mind was severely damaged. Sometimes he was clear-headed and sometimes he was crazy. Even his appearance became what it is now." Zhang Shixun sighed as he said this.
Everyone looked at Wang Dong with pity, and when they saw him eating with great pleasure, they all shook their heads.
"After something like this happened, Europa couldn't stay any longer. My grandfather, concerned for my cousin's life, arranged for me to escort him back to the Song Dynasty... Sigh! The hardships along the way are truly beyond words."
"Where is the bracelet?" This is what Gao Yanei is most concerned about.
"The queen was deeply in love with her cousin. On the second day of their passionate love, she gave him her most beloved bracelet. Her cousin treasured it so much that he kept it close to his body and even slept with it."
At this point, Zhang Shixun sighed, "My cousin and the queen are now separated, and it's impossible for them to rekindle their love in this life. I was afraid he would commit suicide out of longing for the queen, so I tried my best to persuade him to sell the bracelet. It took countless words to finally make him make up his mind to put this lingering love behind him."
"I've said all I need to say... Gao Yanei, if my brother and I weren't at the end of our rope, we wouldn't be selling this bracelet. Tell me honestly, is this bracelet worth a three-story courtyard and ten thousand strings of cash?"
"Worth it! Of course it's worth it!" Gao Yanei blurted out, and as soon as he finished speaking, he slapped himself in the face.
What a fucking idiot! Someone dug a hole for him and he jumped in without thinking.
Zhang Shixun smiled and patted his shoulder. "Yanei, don't feel like you've lost out. This is a rare treasure, priceless. If you buy it, you can sell it for a sky-high price. You'll make a fortune."
"To be honest, my father wants to give a gift to someone, but he can't find a suitable one." Speaking of giving gifts, Gao Yanei's eyes turned to the bracelet again.
Zhang Shixun was secretly delighted, but pretended to be calm on the surface and asked, "Your father is also a well-known figure in Tokyo City. It seems that your family has no shortage of treasures."
"Of course there are treasures, but nothing suitable." Gao Yanei's eyes were still fixed on the bracelet.
Seeing his greedy expression, Zhang Shixun shook his bracelet again and asked him, "A three-story courtyard, plus ten thousand strings of cash, no bargaining, do you want it, sir?"
Gao Ya slapped his thigh and said, "You bastard! You're so cruel! I want the bracelet! It's just a house, what's the value of it?"
"Add another ten thousand strings of cash. Yanei has a really bad memory." Zhang Shixun reminded.
