Chapter 412: Diamond Necklace
Even in the less lit environment of the main hall, the necklace still emits a dazzling light, which makes people's hearts sway, and occasionally the sound of people swallowing saliva in the main hall can be heard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This turned out to be a rare diamond necklace!
Everyone was a little confused, and all of a sudden whispers began to be heard, and everyone was guessing the origin of this diamond necklace.
In this dynasty, diamonds are the most valuable, and their value is higher than gold. However, because diamonds are extremely difficult to find, most of them are imported from the Western Regions, so many merchants from the Western Regions enter Beijing from the north to supply them to the nobles in the capital, attracting the nobles in the capital to buy them.
Seeing that the path of diamonds was profitable, those gold, silver and jade shops in the capital looked for business opportunities and opened the sale of diamonds. What's more, several of their big shops also joined forces and sent special people to the Western Regions to go to the diamond collection place to buy other people's mineral sources. After mining, please cut it by a special person, and ask the master to design, and the diamond made out is dazzling, and it is very popular with the ladies and ladies of the capital.
And Mrs. Lu's diamond, not to mention the capital, is also a rare thing when you look at the world.
A whole necklace is inlaid with diamonds, some large and some small, and the diamond in the center of the pendant is as big as Dongzhu, which is enviable.
In the uproar of everyone, in the surprised look of everyone's wide-eyed eyes, Mrs. Lu was very complacent. She has several such necklaces at home, in addition to her own two, one for the eldest daughter-in-law and one for the second daughter-in-law, as well as the third son who has not married a wife, she has prepared them all. She has always been low-key and does not like to be public, if it weren't for her sworn enemy, Mrs. Xu, who has been provoking her, causing her heart to fire and arousing her competitive spirit, she would not have taken out this bead to show people.
Lu Er, grandma also looks indifferent. Because, she also has such a necklace. Moreover, she likes Gu Zhirong so much that she thinks she is the future sister-in-law, so her mother-in-law fairly gives her future daughter-in-law a necklace, which she thinks is reasonable.
What they didn't expect was how much wind and waves they would set off when they revealed such a necklace like this.
Gu Zhirong lowered his head and looked at the diamond necklace on his chest, his eyes straightened.
"Miss. Lu Shui had already walked over, and he was close to Gu Zhirong's side, and when he saw the young lady's two eyes looking directly at the necklace, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
She didn't know how to appreciate treasures, but such a necklace, although it was precious, was not a rare treasure, right? She had seen Princess Zhaomin's birthday wearing a necklace with more diamonds than this one, and she couldn't close her mouth when she saw it, but Miss said, "It's nothing, it's just an ordinary diamond necklace."
But, what's wrong with Miss today, how can she be so surprised by an ordinary diamond necklace that she is so surprised that she loses her mind?
"Miss!" the green water summoned again.
Gu Zhirong came to his senses at this time: "Ah", and looked at the green water in confusion.
Lu Shui was surprised: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Zhirong shook his head and stroked the diamond necklace on his chest with his hand, and couldn't help but panic in his heart.
Yes, the necklace disturbed her quiet life, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, disturbing her calm thoughts.
Her mind could no longer calm down.
Because, when she saw this necklace, she suddenly thought of the mysterious cave behind the miasma.
In the cave, there are almost as many jewels as the treasury of a country, and among them, there are many diamond necklaces like the one given by Madame Lu and cut in a strange way.
Of course, in addition to priceless jewels, there are guns that are enough to destroy a country.
It was at that moment that her life began to become complicated, she was no longer an ordinary boudoir lady, and if she was not careful, she would be involved in endless troubles.
At that time, she didn't know where the courage and determination were, and immediately made an astonishing decision to destroy the cave------- the cave that brought disaster to the country and the people.
Moreover, since she came back, she has tried her best to forget about this incident and strive to be an ordinary lady from a large family. That cave, that earth-shattering conspiracy, was just a nightmare for her, and when she woke up, she should forget everything.
However, this necklace pulled her into that unwarranted fear, telling her how not to lose her mind, how not to be frightened?
Gu Zhirong only felt soaked with a chill, like falling into an ice kiln. Although they have been besieged for so long, fear and lack of sleep make everyone's faces look tired, but their eyes are shining with hope for their future life, which is the instinct of human beings to survive.
Gu Zhirong didn't know that if that cave was discovered and those cannons were used by people with ill intentions, she didn't dare to imagine how desperate these eyes in front of her who were full of hope for the future were.
She was even more suspicious, why did the Lu family have a diamond necklace from that cave, and what did the Lu family have to do with that cave?
Or, the Lu family is just wealthy. In order to show off in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, the necklace bought from those merchants in the Western Regions? In this way, the result will be even more terrifying, how can the jewels in that cave flow out, could it be that the cave has been discovered?
At this moment, she suddenly missed the wise and brave young master, if he was there, she might be much more at ease. He had a lot of connections, and perhaps if he begged him, he would help him to check the cave to see if anyone had broken through the miasma barrier and found the cave.
Resist the urge to rush up and ask Dr. Lu what happened. Gu Zhirong looked at Mrs. Lu who was proud of the spring breeze.
Madame Lu did not look like an insider, she was complacent about defeating her old rival. There was a smile on the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, which was a world of difference from Fang Cai's indifference to Gu Zhirong. Presumably, marrying a daughter-in-law is not something that can make her happy, defeating her old rival for many years, this is the happiest day of her life.
Seeing this, Gu Zhirong immediately denied the inference that "Mrs. Lu is an insider". Mrs. Lu is just a woman in the back house, and her mind is only the idea of being short and jealous of her parents all day long, if she really knows that this necklace is of great significance, and she still takes it out and shows it around, unless she is teasing.
In this case, there is only one explanation, that is, the cave was discovered, the jewels flowed out, and the large number of artillery fire, naturally, needless to say.
She was so anxious, seeing that Mrs. Lu was still fighting with other ladies for a little thing, she only felt angry and funny. Thinking about the next step, I must go to the young master immediately after going down the mountain...... Only then did she remember that there had been no news of the prince for a long time.
She turned around and lowered her voice and asked Lu Shui: "Lu Shui, how long has the prince been gone?"
Lushui thought for a moment and said, "It's been two whole days. ”
Gu Zhirong furrowed his brows.
It's been two days, and she remembers what the prince said. I will return in two days, and now that the appointed time has passed, has the prince encountered any accidents?
A wave of worry came over me.
Lu Shui next to him said in a low voice: "Miss is worried about the prince?"
Gu Zhirong sighed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Yes, how can people not worry about this? Obviously said that he would be back in two days, but after tonight, it will be two days, could it be that something happened to the prince?"
Lu Shui said heartlessly on the side: "Yes, Miss is finally willing to worry about the prince, in fact, the slave is also worried about him." As long as the slave maid thinks of such a handsome and handsome prince, the future heir to the throne actually does it himself, for the sake of the young lady, personally goes out and goes to danger, the slave and maid feel so moved. ”
Gu Zhirong reacted suddenly, and glared at Lu Shui fiercely: "What are you talking about, you damn girl?"
Lu Shui glanced around, in front, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Xu were still teasing each other, Mrs. Xu suffered a loss in the necklace matter, not to be outdone, and now I don't know what to do with Mrs. Lu. And their master and servant stepped aside to speak.
"Miss, did the slave and maid say something wrong? The slave and maid remember what the prince said when he left?" Lu Shui looked at Gu Zhirong and smiled.
Somehow, Gu Zhirong suddenly remembered what the prince said before leaving.
He said, "If I don't come back, will you miss me?"
Gu Zhirong's heart pounded uncontrollably. (To be continued.) )
