Chapter 188: Chapter 107 Old House Excavations_2
Yuan Bao spoke as he took out a small brocade box from the other box and handed it to Gu Changsheng.
Gu Changsheng hesitated before taking the brocade box and looked at Yuan Bao, “Is this what contains the forehead ornant?”
Yuan Bao nodded vigorously.
Gu Changsheng frowned as she opened the latch of the brocade box, and sure enough, upon the black velvet, the crimson forehead ornant glowed with a lustrous sheen.
“Lady, I’ve heard from Uncle Song that you look very much like Madam. Is the person in this painting Madam?” Xiao Cui stepped forward and asked tentatively.
Gu Changsheng nodded, “It should be, more or less. We can be sure once Uncle Song returns.”
In her heart, Gu Changsheng was almost ninety-nine percent certain that the person in the painting was the mother of this body, and without a doubt, her own mother!
Gu Changsheng carefully picked up the ornant, surprised by the sensation—it was chilling to the core, like the ice of the polar regions. “Eh? What kind of pearl is this?”
“Yuan Bao doesn’t know. I’ve even been into the Imperial Palace’s treasury twice, having seen countless exotic treasures. I’ve even had the fortune to see a golden pearl once, but I’ve never seen a red pearl like this before…” Yuan Bao leaned in mysteriously, “Lady Changsheng, this might truly be a treasure. It’s often said what’s rare is valuable. Since even the well-inford Yuan Bao has never seen this pearl before, it must be rare, and if it’s rare, it’s definitely precious…”
“The material… not to ntion you; even I have never seen anything like it…” Gu Changsheng held the ornant under the light, the crystal-clear redness seeming to flow like liquid light, appearing warm but being incredibly cold.
Damn, she had seen diamonds before, why was she so ignorant now in ancient tis?
This thing couldn’t possibly be so unparalleled treasure, right?
If that were the case, she’d be making a fortune!
Gu Changsheng vaguely saw countless silvers spinning before her eyes…
It was just too tempting!
“You all haven’t seen it either?” Gu Changsheng asked Xiao Cui and Dong Lei.
As expected, Xiao Cui and Dong Lei both shook their heads in unison.
“This is strange. My family is nothing but a common dicinal family, at best considered a family of dicinal fragrance; logically, we shouldn’t have any precious treasures…” Gu Changsheng said as she carefully held the coral chain of the ornant, unable to let go.
Beautiful! It was captivatingly beautiful!
For soone who loved beauty, all the wonderful things in the world were filled with deadly temptation.
At this mont, this exquisitely beautiful forehead ornant made Gu Changsheng unable to let go and she particularly wanted to claim it for herself.
“Little Monk, you were able to predict Yuan Bao’s arrival. Even if you’re a charlatan, you must have so skills. Co here, help see if you’ve ever seen this pearl?” After inspecting the ornant for a long ti without any clue, Gu Changsheng decided to swallow her pride and seek advice from the Little Monk in ditation beside her.
The Little Monk Bu Jie, who had been deep in ditation, slowly opened his eyes at her words and uttered a compassionate Buddhist chant, “Amitabha.”
“Buddha is in the heart. You can even digest at and fish, why keep bringing up your Buddha all the ti? Just help see if you recognize this thing,” Gu Changsheng said, squatting curiously in front of the Little Monk.
In the entire room, not one had seen such an item. Only the Little Monk was left.
Desperate tis call for desperate asures; perhaps the Little Monk truly had seen it?
“This poor monk has not seen it before.”
Gu Changsheng waited for a good while only to receive such an answer. Her hopes dashed, she couldn’t help but sigh, “Little Monk, if you haven’t seen it, just say you haven’t seen it. Why pretend there’s so mystery? Don’t you know that giving soone hope, then disappointing them, is very unethical?”
With a resentful glance, Gu Changsheng turned and walked away.
Just as Gu Changsheng turned around, Little Monk Bu Jie suddenly looked up, “Benefactor, since this object is a remnant of your mother, why not wear it on your body as a keepsake?”
Gu Changsheng turned back, puzzled, “Wear it on my body? Can I wear it on my head?”
Such an exquisite forehead ornant; she could hardly bear to lock it away herself.
But since it was a relic, it should be properly preserved, and it was sowhat inappropriate to wear it rashly.
Since Little Monk Bu Jie had said so, of course she had to ask.
“What one inherits from ancestors should indeed be cherished and respected; if the Benefactor wishes to wear it, there is no harm.”
Gu Changsheng watched the solemn Little Monk Bu Jie with a puzzled look, thinking for a mont before she slowly leaned closer to him, “Little Monk, why do I feel your reaction is a bit weird? Do you know sothing I don’t know, yet you don’t want to know?”
Pressured by Gu Changsheng’s persistence, Little Monk Bu Jie shifted his body slightly backward, “Benefactor, everything has its divine timing, just wait for the right mont.”
“Damn it! Your evasive words, just how long are you going to say them? A charlatan is damn well a charlatan; the lines are all the sa, unchanging for a thousand years. Continue to play the sage with ; I’ll see just when your so-called ‘right mont’ will co!”
“If the mont I’ve been waiting for never cos in this lifeti, Little Monk, then you and I will just keep at it until the end!” Gu Changsheng said indignantly, turned around, and headed to her room with the ornant.
Damn it, sleep was the most important; being bothered by all this nonsense was just too annoying!
Forget about it, if the sky falls, there’s soone tall to hold it up; just let it be!
“Ah, so Lady Changsheng is leaving just like that? I forgot sothing. Right now, all the doctors in Liuzhou City are nearly going mad looking for her; she should hide well.” Yuan Bao spoke and took a few steps to follow, but seeing that Gu Changsheng hadn’t even turned her head, he turned back to Dong Lei, feeling deflated, and began to inquire about the Little Monk’s origins.
