(MTL) The Story of a Cold Male Supporting Husband by Huajian Xiaopao

Chapter 51

Buying jade

from heaven to protect the country, from the monarch to the people, like to wear jade, especially the beautiful jade that is not stained with dust and white like suet is invaluable.

Ye Yuanxian looked at the jade seed material in his hand and felt a little pity, the formation he was going to arrange was more complicated, and the size of this jade stone was not enough.

"It would be better to use the same piece of jade to engrave the pattern in a large-scale formation. This jade is a pity." The two of them looked at two jade shops in a row and couldn't find the jade they were looking for, so they could only say Missed.

There are only four jade shops in Lekang County. One of them is not open today, and the rest are selling small pieces of jewelry. If the last one cannot be found, it can only be booked with the shop owner.

The booking process is complicated, and I don't know how long it will take to get it, which may delay a lot of things.

Xie Yifeng chuckled: "No hurry, if we can't buy it again, we will go to the next county to find it. It won't take long to go back and forth.

" You have to hurry to arrange the formation, and everything will be fine.

The third jade shop is a bit special. There are many kinds of jade in it, not only the most popular suet jade in Tianyou Kingdom, but also the brightly colored jadeite, and even some precious stones from Fanbang.

This was beyond the expectations of the two of them. The suet jade still did not have the size that Ye Yuanxian wanted. It is said that the jade produced in the southern country is about two feet long and one foot wide, and the size is very suitable.

This jadeite has a faint blue water head, but in terms of the aesthetics of Tianyouguo with red and green as the top, such a color is only in the middle and upper, and it is not very precious.

And God Blessed the people of Shang Meiyu, the top-level suet white jade, jadeite is not as popular as white jade in all aspects.

Ye Yuanxian's fingertips gently brushed the piece of jade whose outer skin had been removed to reveal the flesh, and the spiritual power in the jade came along his fingertips, warm and moist with the breath of the sky and life.

"Do you like this piece?" Xie Yifeng asked.

"It's acceptable." Ye Yuan nodded leisurely.

Both white jade and jadeite are also gems grown from Zhongtiandi's spirit, and they contain a lot of spiritual power, so the gap between white jade and jadeite is not too big when it comes to the formation of the formation.

Moreover, the spiritual power in this jadeite is gentle and obedient with the breath of life, which is very helpful for arranging cultivation-type formations. In addition, it is large enough to cut into jade pieces and arrange two sets of formations.

"The guests have good eyesight." The shopkeeper who entertained the two of them heard Ye Yuanxian's answer and knew that the business might be successful, so he hurriedly greeted: "This is the material that has just been shipped from Fucheng, only the skin has been unwrapped, look Look at this head, this water head, it's really rare."

Ye Yuan was silent, and turned to look at the other jade stones in the store.

The shopkeeper was afraid that the business he had finally acquired would fly away, so he quickly persuaded him: "It's hard to find such a big and complete jade. If you have a sister and daughter in the guest's home, you can buy it back and make a few complete sets of jewelry. It is a piece of material from scratch. That momentum is definitely good." The

shopkeeper is right, good jade materials are hard to find, and it is even more rare to be able to collect a complete set of jewelry including headgear, earrings, bracelets, jade necklaces, and the preciousness of this piece of jade. right here.

Otherwise, with its slightly paler color and not top-quality water, it would not have been transported here from a long distance.

"What is the price of this jade?" Xie Yifeng asked.

When the shopkeeper heard that there was a show, he quickly replied: "We bought jade and said that if the customer likes it, that's the fate, just give two hundred taels of silver."

Xie Yifeng smiled lightly: "The shopkeeper is not sincere. , since it is a business, it is valuable and valuable. The color of this jade is not enough, and the only thing that can be seen is this head. What's more, we need to ask the master to carve this jade when we buy it back, which is another expense. , it's not worth two hundred taels." The

shopkeeper knew that today's person is not easy to fool, so he asked tentatively, "Then the guest will give you a price to try?"

Xie Yifeng looked at Ye Yuanxian, and saw that his eyes fell. On a fist-sized piece of rough stone that had not been unraveled, he asked, "Want Yuanxian to try stone gambling?"

Ye Yuanxian asked Xie Yifeng to stand in his place and look at the rough stone: "You Does it look like a cat?" The

stone was only the size of a fist, and there were some depressions on the outside of the stone. From the perspective of the two, it really looked like a cat's head, or a chubby one.

Seeing that Ye Yuanxian liked it, Xie Yifeng said to the shopkeeper who was waiting on the side: "Then include the rough stone, and the shopkeeper will give you a sincere price." The

shopkeeper's mind changed and he had a plan: "The two of you Since I really want to buy jade, I will give this stone to the two of you."

It's not the shopkeeper's generosity, this original stone is small and the shell performance is not very good, based on his years of experience in dealing with jade. Seeing that it is unlikely that a good jade will be found in it, he does not feel bad for giving these two people a favor.

"Since the shopkeeper is so generous, then we won't say more. One hundred taels of silver, what do the shopkeepers think?"

If this price is actually high in Fuzhou, Kyoto and other places, both Fuzhou and Kyoto rely on it. In the south, jadeite is less expensive to transport and top-quality jade is more popular, and the price of jade at this price is not high.

On the contrary, remote counties such as Lekang County are expensive to transport, and the middle-to-upper jade is more popular, and the price is slightly higher.

"This..." The price is not too far from the low selling price of the shopkeeper's heart, and he agreed after a little hesitation: "It opens today, so let's sell it to the two of you. Can you cut this stone and take a look? "

No need." Ye Yuanxian casually took the stone in his hand and played with it, looking like he didn't pay much attention to it.

The shopkeeper has been doing business for so many years, the young master has seen a lot, and it is only normal for Ye Yuanxian to act like this.

The jade was wrapped in a soft cloth and placed in a wooden box. Xie Yifeng stepped forward and hugged it in his arms. The two walked out of the jade shop side by side.

There is a special place for fixing the wooden box on the saddle. Ye Yuanxian smiled and handed the jade stone in his hand to Xie Yifeng: "Touch it, there is something good in it."

Xie Yifeng took it and separated it slightly . Some spiritual power tried to penetrate into the stone, a feeling of thick and steady like a mountain surged into his heart, and the spiritual power that tugged at his fingertips circulated.

As he expected, his partner was first attracted by the shape of the stone, and then made such a gesture when he found something inside.

Ye Yuanxian's cold brows were full of smiles: "According to the feedback from the spiritual power, the quality of the jade inside is definitely good. When I go back, I will unpack it to see how big it is."

"Okay, I will help you cut the jade pieces."

The news that the Xie family went to the town to recruit workers somehow reached the ears of the villagers. They knew that the wages of the Xie family were generous, so they thought of going to the Xie family to work.

It's just that the previous events made them still full of fear of the Xie family, so some people put their ideas on the head of the village chief, wanting him to take the lead and let the villagers go to the Xie family to work.

They thought that the fat and water would not flow into the fields of outsiders, that the villagers were close to each other, it was convenient to go to Xie's house to work, and that they were also from the village, so they could work harder.

As for the Xie family, it's the same who they hire to do the work, as long as the work is done anyway. If the villagers go to read and do more work for the sake of the same village, wouldn't the Xie family also take advantage of it?

Several families thought about it, and after feeling that their plans were all right, they made an appointment to find the village chief together.

However, when the village chief heard about their intentions, his face turned dark and his tone was very unkind: "You think it's beautiful, don't the Xie family understand this truth? The two gentlemen were awarded by the imperial envoy. Knowledge and intelligence are much stronger than those of you and me."

"Why don't people call them villagers, mainly because they don't want to have anything to do with us, don't you have any idea in your heart?"

Someone was very unconvinced and said: "But Village chief, they are already so rich now, shouldn't they promote the villagers a little bit? This is not going to ask them for money, it's just doing work. They invite outsiders and we are the same." The

village chief stared fiercely . He slapped the table hard: "Have you learned all the crooked and serious truths from the dog's stomach? You are looking at other people's well now, why didn't you think of helping them when they were in trouble? One? As long as you helped one before, you won't come to me now."

"Don't talk about it before, when their young crops were destroyed, the old man who spoke for the Xie family first, look at how the Xie family treats the old man's family now, the grandson of the old man's family wants to study medicine, all thanks What about the line that the family helped to set up, do you have that ability?"

Village Chief Wang has always been kind, but at this time, the anger started, and the group of people looked terrified and didn't dare to say extra words.

At this time, Mrs. Wang came out with a pot of washed pears, and said as she walked, "It's a good thing that you young people want to make progress. If you want me to say that the autumn harvest is not yet busy, you young people have the vision. If you look farther, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, the town is full of work, why do you have to nest in this ravine?" The

village chief Wang sighed, stuffed a big pear into everyone's hand, and said: " I know what you mean, if I meet someone from the Xie family tomorrow, I will ask, and if they don't tell you, you will stop thinking about it and go to the town to find work."

A group of people were told by the village chief . , also had no idea, sat for a while and left.

After Ye Yuanxian and Xie Yifeng brought back the jade, they kept in the yard to divide the jade. To arrange the formation, the jade must be divided into jade pieces of the same size, and the formation pattern can be engraved on it before they can be used.

It's not too difficult for the two to work together to engrave the formation pattern, but it's just a little bit more labor-intensive. Neither the spiritual consciousness nor the spiritual power can be left behind, otherwise, the result will be in vain.

Although the formation method was proposed by Ye Yuanxian and prepared to arrange it, Xie Yifeng was faster than him in carving the formation pattern. Because of his spiritual roots and physique, Ye Yuanxian had an advantage in refining a formation.

Time passed quickly, and when the two of them had engraved all the jade pieces, it was time for Xie Yifeng to take the third medicinal pill. One big white.

And this time, Ye Yuanxian was not idle either. The chaotic bead in his body was very naughty recently, and it always absorbed the spiritual power in his dantian. Ye Yuanxian had to meditate to absorb more spiritual power to feed it to be safe. Some.
