The Story of Pearl Girl 珠帘玉幕 Episode 1

The ocean is boundless, and in the dark corner of the reef, a group of pearl divers live silently. During the Tang Dynasty, the Cui family of Yangzhou set up a pearl farm in Hepu, offering southern pearls every year. Although the pearls were extremely valuable, the life of the pearl slaves was dark. The workers who monitored the pearl fishing were violent and unruly. Anyone who was too weak to go into the water would be a slave for life. Slaves, but women were imprisoned in the maternity shed.

Duanwu is one of the pearl slaves. Although it is hard work when fishing for pearls, it is the most free. Duanwu has no father or mother since he was a child. He is not afraid of man-eating sharks on the seabed. Instead, it is the shameless cruelty of those who come ashore that makes Duanwu unable to do so. Forgive, but she has been imprisoned here since she was a child, and Dragon Boat Festival can only live cautiously.

On this day, there was a man in Hepu who had been coveting the beautiful Dragon Boat Festival for a long time. On this day, he was waiting for an opportunity to force Dragon Boat Festival. However, Dragon Boat Festival was not a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by others. She had a dagger with her that could pry open clam shells. The blade was sharp. Incomparably, with the dagger around, the other party doesn't dare to think too hard.

Manager Cui in the palace wanted to buy five-inch beads, so he spread the word that whoever could pick the big beads would be rewarded heavily. To pick big pearls, you need to go to Guanwang Pond. There are many sharks and whales there, which is very dangerous. However, Duanwu heard that there would be a heavy reward and promised to give him a deed of betrayal. Dragon Boat Festival signed up immediately without hesitation.

The girl who had a good relationship with Duanwu didn't dare to go into the water when she saw the deep blue of the sea. In order to leave the pearl quarry as soon as possible, Duanwu tied a sandbag around his waist without hesitation and jumped in.

There is a boat on the sea. This boat is extremely gorgeous. On it are buyers from the Western Regions. They have gold and silver there. As long as they like something, they will spend a lot of money. There was a merchant on the deck who, because he did not follow the rules, actually passed off substandard goods. When someone found out, he was punished by having his eyes and tongue cut out.

Just when the man was begging for mercy, Zhang Jinran stood up and reprimanded the other man for his cruel methods. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, counterfeit goods only require fifty canes. In business, not to mention on the deck, the laws of the Tang Dynasty were in vain here. Zhang Jinran proposed to use his ancestral pearls in exchange for the other party's punishment. When the merchants from the Western Regions saw the beads in Zhang Jinran's box, they laughed scornfully and were The beads that people have treasured for generations are only two inches or less, but little do they know that the beads they see are much larger than this.

Zhang Jinran didn't believe it at all. Yan Zijing, a businessman from the Western Regions, proposed to take Zhang Jinran to see the world. If they encountered a larger bead than this, the bead would be given to them for free. Zhang Jinran happily agreed.

His subordinates tugged at Zhang Jinran's clothes, worried that merchants from the Western Regions would really find more precious clam beads, but Zhang Jinran didn't care about losing some money. He came here with a mission. In recent years, sea tax has been reduced. , but the quality of the tribute beads is not as good as before. He wants to visit incognito and try to find out the truth.

After going through many hardships, Dragon Boat Festival finally found a huge pearl, but was intercepted by his companions. Fortunately, Dragon Boat Festival had excellent water properties, and finally escaped and took the huge pearl out of the seabed. It was not easy to get the pearls. Unexpectedly, the nuns here exchanged the pearls from the Dragon Boat Festival, and finally the slave release documents were given to other pearl divers.

Dragon Boat Festival burst into tears and begged us to investigate and find out that the beads she picked had indeed been transferred. The old nanny knew that she was in the wrong, so she applied for Duanwu to be Princess Zhuji. Zhuji sells pearls. The old woman reminds Duanwu privately that if she wants to leave here, she has to run out of breath, and Zhuji is the only way out for Duanwu's nirvana and rebirth.

Manager Cui asked them who could buy this huge pearl for 500,000 yuan, and they would be rewarded heavily. Duanwu couldn't wait to sign up. She hoped that Manager Cui could give her two slave release documents. Manager Cui didn't want to be haggled, so he directly proposed, As long as he sells 7 million, he will agree to Dragon Boat Festival's request.
