The Fourth Financial Crisis

Chapter 14 The ancestral jade pendant

Murong never imagined that Mr. Yang, who she thought was all-powerful, was actually short of money.

After all, Yang Lu's 40-yuan manuscript fee has already been spent on 4 yuan before he can cover up the heat. There may be many ways to spend money in the future, and he doesn't know when the next paper invitation will be, so he really can't bear to spend any more. The money was used to open a separate guest room for Murong.

As the saying goes, money makes a hero bold, even Yang Lu would inexplicably lose his confidence in his words when he had no money.

Fortunately, Haiya Pavilion is worthy of being a five-star hotel in the world of cultivation. The rooms arranged for more than two yuan of spiritual stone coins are even suites, which avoids the embarrassment of a man and a woman living alone in the same room.

As for the accommodation conditions of the guest rooms, Yang Lu, a financial elite who is accustomed to staying in five-star hotels, cannot fault it.

Although the overall guest room adopts the traditional oriental interior design, it perfectly integrates the convenience of a modern bedroom. The classics reveal a sense of modernity and are elegant yet livable. The bed utensils are also made of real silk, full of soft and comfortable touches. Velvet filling, environmental hygiene is spotless.

What’s even more surprising is that the lighting inside the suite actually uses the legendary aura lamp!

This kind of spiritual energy lamp has no wires or lampshade at all, but is suspended in mid-air like a light ball. According to the staff of Haiya Pavilion, this kind of spiritual energy lamp is generated out of thin air by the huge fairy formation covering the entire Haiya Pavilion. In the entire Haiya City, only Haiya Pavilion has such luxurious interior configurations.

Spiritual energy is the most precious thing in the entire world of cultivation.

Let mortals also enjoy the convenience brought by spiritual energy. This Haiya Pavilion guest room is indeed worthy of its huge price.

As soon as Yang Lu entered the room, he studied the aura lamp for half an hour, marveling at it while studying. Murong, the newspaper seller, was a little baffled by it, and thought it was some kind of quirk of the senior master.

Although Yang Lu wanted to show his gentlemanly behavior and let Murong sleep on the big bed in the back room of the suite, the newspaper seller refused to agree and insisted that she could sleep on the floor of the outhouse until Yang Lu deliberately acted like he was going to get angry. She reluctantly agreed to sleep on the sofa in the outhouse. But looking at the way she was sitting on the sofa with only half of her buttocks, for fear of soiling the sofa, it was obvious that such luxurious accommodation had a huge impact on the newspaper seller's mind!

Looking at Murong's dirty hair, Yang Lu could tell that the newspaper seller probably hadn't taken a shower for a long time.

After rummaging around, he finally found two ancient robes similar to bathrobes in the guest room.

After forcing the bathrobe into Murong's arms, he ordered Murong to take a good bath first. The newspaper seller originally planned to refuse, but in the end Yang Lu said, "If you don't take a good bath, I'll look bad." I was persuaded on the grounds of "uncomfortable".

After putting on his bathrobe and waiting in the living room for more than ten minutes, the sound of water in the bathroom gradually stopped. Then Yang Lu saw the newspaper seller timidly walking out.

At this time, the girl also took off her green cloth clothes and changed into the high-end bathrobe from Haiya Pavilion.

Although her face still looks childish, it may be because she has been traveling all year round, but her body is perfectly trained and has some ups and downs unique to women. After bathing, her already lovely face looked even more handsome. Although her skin was slightly dark, her pretty nose, plump lips, and big dark eyes made her look very cute. Even Yang Lu felt astonished to see the beauty of the middle school class.

The unscrupulous capitalists in this world of cultivation are also the masters who eat people without spitting out their bones. They actually let such a beautiful and lovely girl go out to sell newspapers in the snow. Is this still a human thing?

Realizing that Mr. Yang was staring at her, the newspaper seller thought there was something wrong with her clothes. She couldn't help but feel her face heat up. She turned away shyly, then quickly ran to the back room and said, "Mr. Yang, let me help you." You clean up the house!"

Seeing Murong holding the dirty clothes he had changed and quickly running to the bathroom to wash them with his hands, Yang Lu couldn't help but sigh secretly. They said that modern girls are exposed to many things and eat good food, so they mature early. But compared to children from poor families like Murong, modern girls on Earth are not precocious. They are just giant babies that have been forcibly matured.

I don’t know how Murong, a little girl without a father or mother, survived all these years.

Thinking of this, Yang Lu couldn't help but ask: "Murong, you said you had no parents since you were a child. Who named you?"

The world of cultivation is similar to the ancient earth, and naming is a privilege that only the middle class can enjoy.

It is said that when New China was just liberated, in order to inquire about the background of farmers, the investigation team went directly to each farmer's ancestral hall to check the ancestral tablets. Anyone whose ancestors had names must have been at least a middle peasant, and those whose ancestors did not have names, or The ancestors named "Wang Chacha" and "Liu Quanquan" were both from poor peasant backgrounds.

Compared with previous cases of massive concealment and false alarms, this investigation method is surprisingly accurate.

The principle is very simple.

No matter how poor the farmers in ancient China were, they would worship their ancestors' tablets, but the tablets must have names. Therefore, if their ancestors were too poor and had no money to find a scholar to name them, they would often have to write symbols such as circles and crosses on the tablets instead.

The situation in the world of cultivation is similar. Most of the homeless people Yang Lu saw in the shelter were people with no names but nicknames.

A strange person like him who had a name and a surname and went to live in a homeless shelter surprised the staff at the shelter for a long time, thinking that he was deliberately looking for trouble.

Yang Lu also just realized that Murong, a newspaper seller, actually had her own name, which was very abnormal in itself.

Suddenly asked this question, Murong's hands washing clothes suddenly froze. However, she now trusted Yang Lu very much. After only hesitating for a moment, she ran to fumble in the clothes she had changed, and then took out a stone that looked like jade but not jade from her closest clothing.

As a private equity fund manager, Yang Lu mostly deals with rich people, so he naturally knows some basic knowledge about jade and antiques. The moment he saw this piece of jade, he could tell that it was definitely not a good jade!

It's like a low-quality jade randomly picked up from the river beach, it's not valuable at all.

Murong carefully held the jade in front of Yang Lu, pointed at the top of the jade and said, "This is my name!"

Yang Lu took a closer look and found that the surface of the jade stone was crookedly engraved with two big characters - Murong.

Although Yang Lu didn't know much about calligraphy in this world of cultivation, he could tell that the jade carvings were indeed a bit stretched. If he didn't look carefully, he would have thought it was a child's naughty graffiti!

If you didn't know in advance that these two characters were "Murong", I'm afraid ordinary people wouldn't be able to recognize them at all.

Seeing Yang Lu's surprised look, Murong also felt a little embarrassed and said: "This jade was brought with me when I was born, but I have never seen my parents, so I call myself Murong..."

After hearing this, Yang Lu was already sure that Murong was just an ordinary girl from a poor family.

No wealthy family would use such low-quality jade to write such crotch-shaking calligraphy, and then give it to their descendants as heirlooms. This is completely unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Yang Lu also sighed slightly:

After the protagonist of the Earth Network article traveled through time, he not only carried the golden finger with him, but also picked up the wandering princess in minutes. When he came to his side, he turned into a second business venture based on his own ability.

It seems that I really have ordinary luck!

However, this discovery made Yang Lu pity the newspaper seller even more.

Seeing that Yang Lu was always looking at her, Murong couldn't help but feel a little hot on his face, and he didn't know how to talk to him, so he could only stammer: "Mr. Yang, I haven't finished washing your clothes yet, I'll go and do it now." Got it!"

After saying that, he hid back in the bathroom as if running away.
