"I said Mr. Li, what do you mean?" Wugui frowned, looked at the old man with his head, and patted Du Li on the shoulder with a guarantee, "This young man is a serious scholar and will never do that stealing thing. Of course, the beads are no problem!"

"It's the quality and carvings of the beads... I'll tell the truth, don't be angry." Mr. Li smiled far-fetchedly, "This is not a person with the status of a young master, who can take out the trick..."

Du Li knew that her outfit exposed her family's fortunes. She had been rolling her eyes a lot in the past, so she calmly asked, "Who is that old man, you said, who can produce such things?"

"It must be a great wealth!" Old General Li held the bead between his thumb and index finger and raised it to them, "Don't underestimate this small bead. It is a high-quality purple gold. It is rare in the world and carved so exquisitely and gratifyingly. Just a bead that is the size of a bean, and it will be put into our Qi family's golden building. It will be a deal of four or five thousand taels!"

When Wugui heard this, his eyes widened and he smiled at Du Li with his ears: "Okay, brother, you are such a big treasure!"

Mr. Li said again: "Besides, this bead does not look alone. It should be a foil on a piece of jewelry. Even if it is not the high-ranking masters in the palace, they must be high-ranking officials and nobles with fiefs above ten thousand households!"

Du Li was convinced and nodded softly, "Sir, really have good eyesight."

Old Li was stunned: "Then this bead..."

Du Li admitted: "It's indeed from the palace."

Behind the red sandalwood semicircular partition door leading to the inner hall was a man holding an account book and flipping through it casually. When Du Li heard that "from the palace", he heard that "it was from the palace" and his ears were keen. He raised his head with a momentum and looked at him through the bead curtain.

The suspicion became stronger and stronger. The man put down the account book and stood up. His steps were gentle. He lifted the bead curtain and walked out, which had not yet attracted the attention of the people in the outside hall.

"Oh?" Mr. Li's kind-eyed eyes became more earnest, "Why are the things in the palace wandering outside? You have to grasp them thoroughly. If the origin is unknown, you may lose your head!"

Wugui immediately changed his face. Du Li wanted to cover up and comforted everyone, saying, "It's true that it's a valuable thing, but please don't worry, sir, this is left to me by a relative of mine, and it's not considered a stolen property."

At this time, the man who came from the inner hall had already walked to the front of Mr. Li's desk and spread his palm casually and naturally. Mr. Li seemed to be very respectful and immediately put the golden beads in the human palm.

Du Li felt a little alert. The man was wearing a white jade ring on his right thumb. He looked very handsome and priceless. He twisted the golden beads with his fingers and looked over and carefully. There seemed to be many mystery hidden under his gloomy face.

"This is the recently lost spider silk gold engraving method."

Du Li was confused when he heard what he said.

"As the name suggests, the knife used by craftsmen to carve it is only as thin as spider silk." As he said that, the man suddenly raised his cold eyebrows and looked straight at Du Li, "This kind of carving method is nothing more than that. I heard that only the old craftsmen in a time-honored gold shop in Chang'an know this craftsmanship. No one can imitate this except his personal apprentice."

Du Li looked at this person in silence, and saw his long hair draped over his shoulders, his slanted bangs with a full curve, and a small bun on his head, which was tied with a long vertical jade robe. He was tall and handsome, wearing a black ink robe with gray and white black patterns, with a good silk texture, and a persimmon-colored robe with an open double-breasted collar, and a wide sable fringe.

His face looked quite young, probably about Du Li’s age, but his outfit made him look elegant and luxurious that was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Oh! Master Qi!" Wugui shouted overjoyed, and hurriedly leaned over with a shy face, and his auspicious words poured out, "I am so lucky today. I can actually see Master Qi here! Master Qi, you have a prosperous business and everything goes well!"
