Imperial City.
Countryside, Miao Family.
Miao Yuanhang was holding a watering can, watering the flowers and plants in the morning sunlight.
Tang Zhenni was using pruning shears to trim the flower branches, both basking in the sunlight, living a peaceful and content life.
"Yuanhang..."
A familiar voice sounded at the doorway.
Miao Yuanhang looked over, "Old Si... is it really you?"
It was indeed Si Ancheng from Yun City, Old Si himself.
He ca to the Imperial City, and the first person he wanted to find was Miao Yuanhang.
"I ntioned before that I would co to the Imperial City to see you. I ca today, hope I’m not disturbing you!" Si Ancheng said.
Miao Yuanhang put down the watering can, "You’re not disturbing . I’m retired now, I’m free every day. Co in and sit down!"
Si Ancheng asked his people to wait outside and walked into the yard with Miao Yuanhang. Tang Zhenni brought over so tea.
"Old Si, have a taste. It’s tea picked by the children during their travels."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Si Ancheng took a sip, "Indeed, the taste is exceptionally good."
Tang Zhenni smiled and said, "You two haven’t t for a long ti. Go ahead and chat. I’ll go buy so groceries and Old Si, you should stay for lunch!"
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Si Ancheng watched her walk away.
When the entire courtyard was left with just the two of them, Si Ancheng asked, "Old Miao, have you heard of any new renowned gemstone gamblers erging recently?"
"I don’t play those anymore and haven’t been in touch with them." Miao Yuanhang shook his head, "Has sothing happened?"
"Previously in Yun City, I t a young lady. She has a great talent for gemstone gambling and a profound knowledge of antiques. Her style is sowhat similar to yours." Si Ancheng put down his teacup.
Miao Yuanhang thought for a mont, "I don’t have much research in gemstone gambling or antiques. I’m just an amateur, playing casually for my enjoynt, hardly having any particular style."
"You’re just too modest. If you had kept at it, you would have been the most famous wealthy person nationwide by now." Si Ancheng laughed, "But you, you don’t care about money at all..."
Miao Yuanhang also chuckled, "Money is just an external thing. You can’t bring it with you when you are born or take it when you die. As long as it’s enough, it’s fine. Are you still in the business? I say, you’ve worked hard for most of your life, leave it to the kids to handle, and you should enjoy a few peaceful days, shouldn’t you?"
"I’m also semi-retired." Si Ancheng said, "If I find that girl who is skilled in gemstone gambling, with her assisting my son, I can completely hand over the family business to him with peace of mind."
Miao Yuanhang nodded, "I haven’t been involved in this for many years, so I don’t know of any newcors in the industry. I really can’t help you."
"Don’t say that. If you happen to hear anything, just let know." Si Ancheng took out a photo, "She said her na is Xiao Tang, but I guess it’s definitely not her real na."
Miao Yuanhang put on his reading glasses and looked at the photo, "Indeed, I have no impression at all. If I co across her, I’ll let you know."
"Thank you, Old Miao." Si Ancheng couldn’t hide his disappointnt.
He ca to the Imperial City to find Xiao Tang because he felt this Xiao Tang was a money tree.
Had he known, he wouldn’t have let Xiao Tang leave that day.
Of course, he didn’t know the true purpose of Gu Xiaozhan coming to Yun City was not for gemstone gambling, but to eliminate smuggling.
Damn Pei Wei, he didn’t catch any wind of it at all!
