Gao Yanei thought for a long time before hesitatingly saying, "Old He, if you trust me, how about letting me keep it?"
He Ji said with a bitter face: "This is what I want to say to you."
The two of them looked at each other, neither of them wanted to give in, and they had no choice but to look at Zhang Shixun together.
"Don't look at me. My cousin has a very classic saying. Do you want to hear it?"
"What?" they asked in unison.
"You have to wipe your own butt. As for your butts, hehe! You can do whatever you want."
Gao Yanei snorted, "Pah!" and said, "That's pure bullshit. It's as good as nothing... Old He! What do you think we should do about this?"
He Ji rubbed his chin and thought hard for a while before saying, "I don't have a good idea either."
The two of them stared at each other, making Zhang Shixun want to laugh.
Gao Yanei suddenly slapped his head, took out a few dice from his pocket, and slammed them on the table. "Let's compete. Whoever has the bigger idea gets to keep the treasure."
"This is a good method." Zhang Shixun stared at the dice and smiled.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are gamblers.
Gao Yanei carries dice with him, so he must be a gambling addict.
"Okay! Let's do it." He Ji agreed readily.
Gao Yanei grabbed the dice and said, "I'll go first!"
He Ji reached out and pressed the back of his hand: "Wait a minute!"
"Are you going to regret this?" Gao Yanei glared at him.
He Ji ignored him, turned to look at Zhang Shixun and said, "Brother Zhang, who do you want to go first?"
Damn! These two guys who are always haggling over every penny are really good at making trouble.
Zhang Shixun took a dice and said to the two men, "I'll roll the dice. If it's an odd number, Gao Yanei goes first; if it's an even number, He Ji goes first. Do you agree?"
The two nodded together.
Zhang Shixun threw the dice onto the table. The dice jumped a few times and began to spin on the table.
Several people were staring at the dice at the same time, but they didn't realize that the dice was spinning endlessly on the table.
He Ji was so anxious that he shouted loudly at the sieve, "Double, double, double!", while Gao Yanei shouted "Single, single, single!"
The dice finally stopped and the three of them looked carefully and saw that it was a four. He Ji won.
"Aha! Yanei, what do you have to say?" He Ji danced with joy.
"What are you talking about? Just let you throw the dice first. Who knows who will win or lose. Don't be so happy as if you have taken a dog pill." Gao Yanei glared at He Ji fiercely.
He Ji grabbed the dice on the table and said to Zhang Shixun, "Please be a witness for us."
"That's fine." Zhang Shixun nodded with a smile.
He Ji held the dice in his hands, puffed up his cheeks and blew on the dice, put his hands together, shook the dice up and down, muttered something, and threw the dice onto the table. When they stopped, the three dice rolled a two, a five, and a six, adding up to thirteen.
"Brother He rolled a total of thirteen points. Yanei, it's your turn." Zhang Shixun said to Gao Yanei.
Gao Yanei picked up the dice and said, "Man's fate is determined by heaven." Then he threw the dice on the table.
After the dice was rolled, the two of them leaned over the table and watched nervously. When the dice stopped, Zhang Shixun looked closely and suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears came out.
Gao Yanei and He Ji were also dumbfounded.
A three, a four, and a six, and as luck would have it, it was exactly thirteen o'clock.
The two of them stood there, looking at each other, and for a moment, no one spoke.
Zhang Shixun pointed at them and said breathlessly, "You two are such a funny pair, like a pair of titans, a stinking fish versus a rotten shrimp. After arguing for a long time, you're actually evenly matched... Haha! I'm dying of laughter."
"Throw it again! Throw it again!" Gao Yanei was furious.
After another throw, He Ji won.
"What a bummer!" Gao Yanei was very depressed and sat back in his chair dejectedly.
"Yanei, I'm just keeping it temporarily. We are partners, and we need to discuss finding a buyer together." He Ji said, holding the hairpin.
"That's true." Gao Yanei sat up straighter and said with a smile, "We need to discuss this together and try to sell this treasure for a good price."
"We will go our separate ways tomorrow. You go find the wealthy businessmen, and I will go find the princes and ministers." He Ji said.
Gao Yanei spread his hands and said, "I don't have anything in my hand, how can I tell others? Empty words are not enough. In my opinion, it is better not to separate and go together."
"That's fine!" He Ji agreed, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, carefully wrapped the hairpin and put it in his arms.
"You must keep it well and don't make any mistakes. If you lose it, you won't be able to afford the compensation." Gao Yanei warned.
"Don't worry, it won't be lost. I'll hold it with me as I go." He Ji said, and really held his hand over the place where the hairpin was placed on his chest.
"With this business, we two brothers will have money to spend." Gao Yanei picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine.
"That's right, a broken farm where crops can't be grown is not worth much money. Let's exchange our treasure for a farm, plus some silver... Yanei, how much do you think we should get in exchange?" He Ji asked excitedly.
"This..." Gao Yanei looked at Zhang Shixun and did not answer.
Zhang Shixun smiled and said, "Don't look at me. I've already made it clear that whatever money you earn is yours and has nothing to do with me."
"Hehe! If we can sell it at a good price, don't regret it, brother." Gao Yanei was afraid that Zhang Shixun would go back on his word.
"No regrets. The more you earn, the happier I am for you."
Gao Yanei gave a thumbs up and said, "Great! Come on! Let's have a drink together."
The three of them raised their glasses, clinked them together, and drank the wine.
Gao Yanei was in high spirits. He talked about the romantic affairs of princes and ministers, and the family secrets of high-ranking officials and nobles. When he got excited, his eyebrows were beaming.
He Ji couldn't drink much, so after a few drinks he became talkative, unlike his usual cautious character, and talked endlessly about strange stories in the capital, even telling about the emperor climbing over the palace wall in the middle of the night to go out for pleasure.
The fathers of both of them are high-ranking officials and know a lot of secrets.
The pleasures of the harem could not contain Zhao Ji's wild heart. After the Zhenghe period, Huizong began to travel incognito, and even set up a special "Travel Bureau" for this purpose. Whenever he went out of the palace for pleasure, it was said that he had a secret.
Paidang originally refers to a palace banquet, but here it means a secret trip.
If Zhao Ji had a good time the night before and did not return to the palace, he would issue an order saying that his wound had flared up and he could not attend court.
What is a sore disease? In simple terms, it is hemorrhoids.
If an emperor doesn't want to attend court and says he has hemorrhoids, wouldn't he be harming the country?
As the three of them were talking, night fell unknowingly.
Although He Ji drank a little too much, he was still thinking about seeing the night pearl. When he saw the waiter light the candles in the room, he took out the night pearl and kept asking Gao Yanei to extinguish the candles.
When He Ji saw the brilliant light from the Night Pearl, he sighed, "Oh my God!"
"He Dalang, have you opened your eyes?" Gao Yanei asked.
"It really opened my eyes."
