Chapter 55: Annual Salary of Five Thousand Taels (8)
The reason why Crimson let him look at it first just now was to ask him to agree that these three sets of jewelry were suitable, so that she could choose the most favorite pair according to her preferences. Since he let her pick herself, he will respect her decision. He couldn't bear to let her be so wronged by himself.
She immediately replied to him, "Don't pick any more, just this ruby set." ”
At this time, Crimson also said: "These three sets of jewelry are all made by famous artists in accordance with the court style. The gemstones set on it are also rare. One is the fire limestone condensed red stone after the eruption of the South Island Flame Mountain a hundred years ago, and the other is the thousand-year-old tree root jade in the extreme western dense forest, and the last set of embedded sapphires is extracted from the ice spring hidden in the depths of the Arctic Iceberg for hundreds of miles. Even if you want to attend the grand event of the country, none of these three sets of jewelry will insult the identity of the fourth master and his wife, and it is appropriate. ”
Originally, she didn't look at the jewelry anymore, and she didn't plan to choose it again, but after listening to Crimson's words, she couldn't help but look at the three sets of jewelry in surprise. She didn't understand it very well, and she only felt that these jewelry were worth a lot of money, but she couldn't see that each of these three pairs of jewelry was worth 10,000 gold?
She glanced at Chen Jiao'er and them, thinking that they would also covet these jewelry, but she didn't want to, only Lan Niangzi was like this, Chen Jiao'er, Hong Peony and Ziyun listened to Crimson's introduction but lost most of their interest in these three sets of jewelry.
After thinking about it, without looking at the hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of years of experience and sedimentation, the word "red stone" can be deduced, and its essence is just a "stone" formed by the condensation of sand, and it is only after hundreds of years of penetration of minerals in volcanic rock that it has dyed this bright red color, and there may be some other factors in it, she doesn't understand. At this time, people could not really understand its preciousness, thousands of years? It was a fossil that could only be obtained after hundreds of millions of years! This kind of fossil is not too difficult to find, but its color is not brown, yellow, red, but dark green, and she does not understand the principle, but she is afraid that it is even more unique. As for the sapphire washed out of this ice fountain, its essence is probably just ordinary pebbles or even more ordinary gray stones. The darkness in the heart was not the later smudging, but the original color of the stone core had not been washed away by the ice spring water, only the surface was diluted by the ice spring water, and the color gradually became transparent, and it was also dyed with the blue of the ice spring.
In fact, these three "gems" are all available but not sought, and in modern times, they are not private individuals, and their value is immeasurable. "Immeasurable value" can also be put in another way, that is, there is no way to give a price.
In the same way, people at this time don't understand that much, the same is "stone", they can only distinguish what is "jade", what is "agate......", "stone" and "jade" are not essentially "one thing", this is the concept in their hearts. At present, the red, green and blue three-color gems are said to be "gems", but Chen Jiaoer, Red Peony and Ziyun, who have really seen the world and "know", regard them as "stones". No matter how rare it is, the first thing about "stone" is that it is worthless. What's more, just looking at the quality, these three "gemstones" actually have flaws. Green jade is impermeable, red stone is not sinking, and sapphire is dirty. If you ask a woman why she loves jewelry so much, the more expensive it is, the brighter her eyes shine? Is it just because of its beauty? Of course, it is because of its value. Talking about money is cheesy, but loving jewelry can disguise admiring its beauty and not about money. These three "gems" are not easy to estimate the price. "Priceless" can sometimes be seen as "worthless".
Speaking of which, Chen Jiaoer was originally the most jealous, because Ying Hao only brought Chen Zhen'er, the "concubine", to the banquet in the palace in the middle of next month, so he had to buy a set of "suitable" jewelry for her. When these three sets of jewelry were first moved out, Chen Jiaoer also thought that each set was worth a thousand gold, and she hated it so much that her eyes were very red. At this time, I know that these jade stones themselves are more precious but valuable...... If these jewelry are also made of gold and silver, the sum of each set of two catties is not light, but Chen Jiaoer is now holding several gold and silver jewelry from Linlang Country in her hand, which is still inlaid with real "beads", "jade" and "agate". All of them add up, I'm afraid these are more expensive than the ones she chose. Chen Jiaoer sneered at the three sets of jewelry, and the jealousy in her heart suddenly disappeared.
Looking at Chen Jiaoer's straightforward face, her heart moved, and she asked Crimson: "I don't know this set," pointing to the set of jewelry in sapphire, "How much is it worth?"
Crimson said: "This set of jewelry is four catties and two taels of gold, one catty and eight taels of silver, plus these seven ice sapphires of such a shape that have never been cut, and the final price depends on how much the fourth master gives." ”
"Don't ask him, I mean ......"
Crimson suddenly winked at her, interrupting her, "This pair is seven catties and eight taels of pure gold," referring to a set of rubies, "This pair is six catties and six taels of pure gold." "Refers to a set of emeralds.
She suddenly felt a little confused. Crimson didn't see her intentions, did she?
"Is this the case with these three sets of jewelry?" Ying Hao took the crimson words and asked.
"Yes, it's all up to the fourth master. The crimson eyes were full of essence and replied to Ying Hao.
Ying Hao asked her one last time, and said, "Are you sure you want this set of rubies?"
"Yes. This set of rubies is used to attend the banquet in the palace next month, naturally Ying Hao paid for it, and she has already taken care of Ying Hao's face, just looking at the weight, she can tell that it is the most "golden" in that set of rubies, which is enough to see. only replied to Ying Hao briefly, and then she hurriedly pulled over Crimson again, lowered her voice and said: "Sister Crimson, don't play with me those who have and don't, give me a real price, this set of ......"
"Okay, then wrap all three sets for me. The ruby set is for Zhen'er to attend the banquet next month, and I keep the other two sets as gifts. and the ones they picked, all of them were counted. Ying Hao didn't know if he heard what she whispered to Crimson, and he didn't wait for her to finish speaking, so he ordered Crimson loudly.
"Since this ruby has been deposited for a hundred years, it is priced at a hundred taels. Since this tree root jade has been transformed for thousands of years, it is priced at a thousand taels. This ice sapphire ......"
