Chapter 246 Jade Pendant
Xi Zhicai did not leave, but took off the package on the horse, and sat down on the ground.

When the package was opened, there were dry food, jerky, etc. he had prepared, and even some local specialties that were replenished in the previous city.

Without hesitation, Xi Zhicai picked up a piece of jerky and gnawed it. This is the property of the lord, and it is usually made of horse meat or mutton. As for beef?In this day and age, cattle are needed to plow the land. How could Yu Qing use beef?

Seeing Xi Zhicai eating with mouthfuls of fragrance, the children around were dumbfounded, so it seems to be meat?

"Gudong..." There was a sound, and the little fat man covered his face shyly. He didn't want to do this either, but it smelled delicious.

This sound seemed to be just the beginning, and then one after another, some people even covered their eyes directly to prevent themselves from drooling, but all those who ate and drank while watching Xi Zhi with their eyes open left drooling.

"Want to eat?" Xi Zhicai shook the jerky in his hand and turned towards the leading boy.

The boy nodded, then shook his head again.But looking around and looking at the appearance of the surrounding partners, he couldn't help but sighed and asked, "How can I get the jerky in your hand?"

"Get the jerky in my hand?" Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "There are many ways!"

"Come here and kill me, not only the jerky in my hand, but also food, swords, horses, oh yes! There are dozens of taels of silver all belong to you!"

The boy shook his head helplessly. Anyone who has been in the palace knows that the first thing to survive is to have self-knowledge. If you charge forward when you know you can't beat it, that's not bravery, it's brain damage!

There is no one who can twist the thigh with an arm. The ambush just now has failed, which proves that the person in front of one-on-one must know martial arts. This method was directly abandoned by him.

Xi Zhicai took a sip of water and continued, "The second way is to change! In exchange for the food in my hand!"

"Change! Let's change!" The little fat man rushed forward. His eyeballs almost fell into the jerky at this moment. If he really couldn't beat it, he probably rushed up with the iron pot in his arms.

"Exchange?" Xi Zhicai looked at the little fat man and said, "What do you exchange for?"

Don't talk about him now, the children around are all stumped!Yes, change!But what to exchange, although they collected in the city for a while, there was nothing of value.

Only the leading boy gritted his teeth and said, "How much money do you need to sell your food!"

Sell!Xi Zhicai sighed in his heart, the meaning is different from changing to selling.The exchange is just an exchange of items, and the value is entirely up to him. Even if these children take out gold bricks, he can say that they are worthless.

But selling is different, buying and selling is buying and selling!Buying and selling are transactions, and there is a price.Xi Zhi knew that even if these children had money, it was limited.

The reason why he said this was to let him tell the value of his things, so as to prevent him from asking for the price directly.

It's getting more and more interesting, Xi Zhi smiled when he thought of this, "One hundred taels! Is there?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the children around were very ugly. They grew up in the palace and they already had the concept of money!In fact, these people have saved a lot of silver that was rewarded before, but I am afraid that so many people add up to not have a hundred taels!
At this time, the little fat man said excitedly, "You are a profiteer! Your jerky is only a few taels of silver! Ask us for a hundred taels!"

"A profiteer?" Xi Zhicai said with a smile, "I put a knife on your neck and forced you to buy it? I didn't buy or sell by force!"

When the little fat man was still arguing about something, the leading boy interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Stop talking, he's right!"

Seeing all kinds of life in the palace, a person like Xi Zhicai is not considered a vicious person, but he still has the body of his little friend.
Gritting his teeth, the boy took out a jade pendant from his pocket and asked, "Can this jade pendant be exchanged?"

"Brother, isn't this the jade pendant your family gave you? What are you doing?"

The boy glared at the speaker, then looked at Xi Zhicai, waiting for his reply.

"Come here, I want to inspect the goods!" Xi Zhicai said flatly.

The boy took a few steps forward without hesitation and came to Xi Zhicai. Now he had no choice as the thing was already revealed.

No matter how careful he is, he can't stop Xi Zhicai, after all, the difference in force value is not even one star.Now I can only pray that Xi Zhicai is not a bad person as he guessed!
As soon as Xi Zhicai stretched out his hand, the boy gritted his teeth and put the jade pendant directly into his hand.

The moment he got the jade pendant, Xi Zhicai stopped chewing. There was something wrong with this jade pendant. It was very warm and must have been worn by a boy, but the slightest chill coming from the jade pendant was terrible.

Looking down at the material of the jade pendant, it is really not ordinary, this is a high-quality jade, even in the palace, it is a good product that only a few people can wear.

Looking at the exquisite carvings of dragons and phoenixes on the jade pendant, it must have been made by a famous artist. The texture is so delicate that no trace of carving can be seen at all. If ordinary people look at it, they will think that this jade is naturally like this.

Turning over to look north again, Xi Zhicai's pupils shrank!What most people see is a mess of patterns, which are like symbols, saying that they are patterns but not patterns, and they say that they are words and not words.

But who is Xi Zhicai? He has been familiar with all kinds of books since he was a child. The name of Yingchuan Xi Zhicai is not that simple. Others don't know that Xi Zhicai's best poems are not poems and songs, but ancient characters!

The so-called ancient characters are characters from a long time ago, which can be traced back to many years ago, but no one uses them anymore, even if few people know about them.

And the words on the jade pendant in his hand are ancient words, very simple, just two words - Nangong!
Nangong?Xi Zhicai immediately thought of Zhennan Wang Nangongtian!But after thinking about it, it was not right. It can be seen that this jade has not been carved for a long time, and it only looks like more than ten years.

So either the master carver knew the ancient writing, or the owner knew the writing.

The first guess was overturned directly, the ancient texts are not so easy to know, even Xi Zhicai has read a lot of ancient books handed down, there are a few records.

Just a master craftsman, no matter how good his craftsmanship is, he still can't get in touch with those ancient books!A craftsman is a worker, how can he read the books of the aristocratic family.

That's the second record. The master knew what this word was, and asked Master Carving to engrave it on it. Nangong has been handed down to the world over the years. Zhennan Wang Nangongtian is the only one. This is the only possibility!
