The Story of Pearl Girl 珠帘玉幕 Episode 40

Yan Zijing's health was getting worse and worse, Kang Ju felt very distressed. He knew that Yan Zijing was aloof and would not let Duanwu see his weak appearance, so he suggested that he leave early. Yan Zijing agreed. He had given all his jewelry to reliable people, and when he died, he would leave them all to Duanwu.

Duanwu made a belt for Yan Zijing. Now Yingtao and the master have opened a branch in the south of the city. She also wanted to accompany Yan Zijing to travel around and take a good look at the mountains and rivers during this busy period. This was also a wish from a long time ago. Yan Zijing raised her hand and let Duanwu help her measure her waist. Suddenly, she thought of an idea that they could make a ruler with glass. Using this to participate in the treasure appraisal conference must be of great significance. Duanwu agreed to this suggestion, and the two designed the pattern of the glass ruler together.

At night, Yan Zijing took Duanwu to the Hangzhou night market. It was a peaceful and prosperous time, with singing and laughter everywhere. Yan Zijing brought Duanwu to the lively crowd and received many blessings. Some wished them a happy marriage, and some wished them a son soon. Yan Zijing was very happy and danced with Duanwu in the crowd. That night, the moonlight was bright, and the two slept in each other's arms.

Finally, Zhang Jinran returned. Now that the imperial edict has been issued, the emperor knows the truth and specially rewards 100 pieces of exquisite silk and clears the name of the Yan family. Yan Zijing finally fulfilled his lifelong ideal. After reading the imperial edict, Zhang Jinran pulled Yan Zijing aside. He was sorry that he did not get the antidote from Yuchi Wuyi, and Zhang Jinran told Yan Zijing that Duanwu actually knew his condition and had done his best to invite all the good doctors in the capital, hoping to find an antidote to treat Yan Zijing, but it was still unsatisfactory. Zhang Jinran searched for imperial doctors but did not get anything.

At night, Duanwu cooked porridge for Yan Zijing. When she heard Yan Zijing carefully admonish her to take good care of herself in the future and not be trapped by anyone or anything, Duanwu felt sad. She knew what Yan Zijing meant. She used to be a lowly pearl-diving slave, but now she has become the head of Mingjingtai, doing things that she had never dreamed of. She was already very satisfied. Duanwu snuggled up to Yan Zijing, suppressing her sadness and begging Yan Zijing not to leave. Yan Zijing held Duanwu's hand, and it had already started to rain in his heart. In the last stage of his life, he had concerns and felt that there was beauty in the world, so he was reluctant to leave.

At the treasure competition, Duanwu presented the glazed Taiping ruler that she and Yan Zijing designed together. The texture was clear and moist, and it was integrated with seven colors. It was painted with the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland, which was dazzling. Cui Shijiu also put out a pair of jewelry as a contestant. Zhang Jinran personally presided over the treasure appraisal meeting. After everyone voted, the Taiping ruler won the championship.

According to the convention, everyone began to recommend the head of Yangzhou Treasure Bank. Cui Shijiu recommended Duanwu. Over the years, everyone has witnessed that the price of Duanwu's mirror table is open and fair. Everyone unanimously agreed to support Duanwu as the head of Yangzhou Treasure Bank. Zhang Jinran asked Duanwu to come up and speak. Duanwu was grateful for everyone's trust in her. Now she has long been indifferent to fame and fortune. Duanwu handed over the position of the head of Yangzhou Treasure Bank to Cui Shijiu. Over the years, she has witnessed Cui Shijiu's changes and encouraged Cui Shijiu to put integrity first in doing business in the future and always keep in mind fairness.

Now Duanwu has continued Yan Zijing's footsteps and started to travel around with his own caravan. Merchants are not only profit-oriented. Under the creed of integrity and fairness that Duanwu abides by, the caravan's business is getting better and better.
