Chapter 189: Thanks
Qinghe knew that this grass was very special, and it would not be available in the Great Sect Dynasty. After the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info left the Zhou family, her girls rarely showed their emotions like this. And there must be some unusual reason for being so eager for this grass today.
A trace of bitterness flashed on Lan Xin's face, and he pointed to the leaf and asked, "What do you think the shape of this leaf looks like?" Qinghe observed it carefully, thought for a while, and said, "The slave maid feels like a cluster of flames. ”
"Exactly. Lan Xin nodded and said, "I saw it in an ancient book, it is called 'Ice and Fire Grass', and it is the most effective for removing fire poison. If we had had an ice and fire grass in our hands, even if it was half a tree, Aunt Yuzhi would have lived to this day. It's a pity that there is no if・・・・・・ in this world" Lan Xin's mood was a little low, and his eyes were a little blurry. She has always been haunted by Aunt Yuzhi's death, so when she saw Ice and Fire Grass, she would lose her temper like that.
"Girl. Qinghe called softly, and her eyes also reddened. When Aunt Yuzhi was seriously ill, the girl searched through almost all the books and found many ways, but unfortunately, she still did not save her aunt's life. The voice was hoarse and relieved, "Girl, you don't have to think so much, there is a providence in the dark." I believe that my aunt is under Jiuquan, and I also hope that the girl will be safe and happy every day, and I don't want the girl to worry about those past things. ”
"I understand all of this. Lan Xin sighed, "I just suddenly remembered it, and I just had some nostalgia." You don't have to worry, I'll be fine in a while. ”
The atmosphere in the room was a little dreary, and the master and servant sat quietly like this, until Aunt Bing walked in, which broke the dullness. Aunt Bing reported: "Girl, the pearls sent by the chief of the underworld, the old slave has already been sorted out. There were ten boxes of pearls, ten boxes of East Pearls, five boxes of fine East Pearls, eight boxes of gold and pink pearls, six boxes of South Pearls, three boxes of black pearls of different sizes, and twenty night pearls the size of eggs. ”
"Huh, how many?" exclaimed, "Even if Chiba Island is rich in pearls, you don't need to send so much, right?"
"It's all three-foot square boxes. There was a hint of excitement in Aunt Bing's flat voice, even though her heart had long been as calm as water, she was still surprised by so many things.
"Ah, wouldn't it?!" Qinghe widened her round eyes, and forgot to close her mouth for a long time. Then he shook his head and muttered to himself: "No, it won't be true, I must be dreaming, dreaming ・・・・・・ girl, you pinch the slave, you pinch it, the slave girl will see if she is dreaming, hurry up, girl!" she stretched out her arm in front of Lan Xin and urged.
Lan Xin held the cup in his hand, thinking about his thoughts, ignoring Qinghe and going crazy. When she heard the numbers reported by Aunt Bing, she was also shocked, and then she also figured it out. The reason why Chief Hades has prepared so much is because Chiba Island is rich in pearls. Second, of course, I thank her for her mercy. Although they have always said that they will do their best to repay her kindness, they are still worried that she will take the most precious thing on the island and ruin their inheritance. Although, so far, she doesn't know what the treasures on their island are.
Moreover, at this point of farewell, I am afraid that there will be no day to see each other again. The people of Chiba Island don't want future generations to inherit her kindness anymore. So they prepared these things, and they also wanted to make a break. Thinking of this, Lan Xin accepted these things calmly. She instructed, "Then take it alive, tell Lan Yi to load half of the things on their ship when they leave the island." To the people, they said that they bought it on the island. ”
"The old slave understands, and the old slave will do it. Aunt Bing bowed and withdrew. "Girl, do we really have to take all these things?!" It's time for real knives and real guns, Qinghe hesitated a little again, and took away so many things from other people at once, like a robbery, isn't that okay?
"If we don't accept it, it's not good!" Lan Xin pinched the cup, took a sip of tea, and looked at Qinghe with a blank face funny. After a deep sigh, he explained: "They do their best to repay the favor, if we don't accept it or hesitate, it will inevitably make them think that we regret it, and want to repay it with more things." When the time comes, everyone will break up unhappily and turn from kindness to enmity, which is not good. ”
"Oh, so that's the case!" Qinghe nodded as if he didn't understand, frowned and hesitated, "But the slave still feels uncomfortable, and I can't say why." ”
"You reminded me of that. Lan Xin put down the teacup and said, "Since Chief Hades has sent a gift in his personal name, we can't help but return the gift, right?" You pack up the purses and handkerchiefs we brought, and find an opportunity to pick a few to give to his wife, which can be regarded as a piece of our heart." Lan Xin originally prepared some purses to keep on the island for rewards, but found that purses were very rare on the island, so they couldn't take them out at will.
"I didn't expect that the purse that was so common in our place would become a very precious thing here. After going back this time, when I tell Dongxiu and Ziyi, they will definitely drop their jaws. Qinghe said as he rummaged through the purse on the table.
"That's what makes sense with pearls. Lan Xin said lightly. Qinghe thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "What the girl said is true." Lan Xin looked at Qinghe's side face, and said in a calm and indifferent tone: "After leaving Chiba Island, I forgot this name." Everything here is just a dream. ”
Qinghe's movements in his hand paused, and when he met the bland eyes of her girl, his heart froze, and his back was cold. Nodding solemnly, he promised: "The girl put it down, the slave and maid won't say a word." "The tree is very windy, and the girl has brought back so many pearls at once, it will surely be coveted. If the things on this island leak out, it will bring endless trouble to the girl and even the entire Jade Mansion.
Lan Xin saw that Qinghe understood what he meant, withdrew his eyes, lowered his eyes, and played with the cup in his hand. Xinqi walked in and reported softly: "Girl, the chiefs of the two tribes, Xuanjin and Xuanyue, have come here and want to see the girl." ”
Oh, how did they get here? There doesn't seem to be a connection with them. Lan Xin and Qing He looked at each other in surprise, and then ordered, "Then invite them in." Qinghe gathered the things on the table, took them to the inner room, tidied up his clothes, and stood behind Lan Xin.
The two chiefs, Xuanjin and Xuanyue, walked in together, and Xinqi had already cleaned up the fruit bowl that had been messed up by black beans. Lan Xin got up and took a few steps forward and bowed. The two chiefs, Xuanjin and Xuanyue, put their hands on their chests, bent down and saluted, and said respectfully: "I have seen the girl, I took the liberty to come and disturb the girl." ”
Lan Xin smiled and let the two of them in, and said with a smile: "The two chiefs are polite, I happen to be idle, the two chiefs can come over and talk together." As he spoke, he gave the two of them their seats, and Qinghe stepped forward to pour tea for the two of them with light steps.
After Lan Xin took a sip of tea, he quietly looked at the two people in front of him, neither of them was very outstanding. Chief Xuanjin is a short and stocky woman, while Chief Xuanyue is tall, broad-shouldered and broad-bodied, and looks more bold.
Lan Xin was attracted by the clothes on their bodies, which were a very bright red color. It's not as old-fashioned as red, and it's not as strong as garnet red. In short, Lan Xin liked that color at a glance. I couldn't help but exclaim: "The color of your clothes is so beautiful, I don't know what the name of this color is?"
Seeing that the amazement in Lan Xin's eyes did not seem to be fake, the two chiefs, Xuanjin and Xuanyue, glanced at each other in unison, and they were both relieved. Chief Xuanjin smiled and said, "This is a color that we rendered ourselves, and it doesn't have any name. We were so happy that we never thought it would be in the eyes of a girl. "According to the rules of the island, both tribes must wear red robes. I was worried that I would be looked down upon by Lan Xin, so I thought about it, so I came up with such an idea, highlighting a bright red. I didn't expect it to hit it crookedly and enter Lan Xin's eyes.
"Hehe, in our hometown, except for one color, which ordinary people can't use, we all like other colors. Lan Xin said with a smile.
"Including red?" asked Chief Xuanyue, whether she was used to being discriminated against, and there was still a hint of nervousness in her voice. "Naturally, there is. Lan Xin said with a smile, "It's just that I've never seen such a delicate red." ”
"This is simple, if the girl likes it, I'll go back to you・・・・・・ no, the girl will leave tomorrow, it's definitely too late to go back and dye now, if the girl doesn't mind, I'll go back and copy the bleaching recipe to the girl." In this way, the girl can dye it herself when she returns home. After thinking for a moment, he added, "By the way, I can also give the girl a few other recipes, not only red, but also blue and green." ”
"Well, thank you, Chief. Lan Xin said happily. The other party made a sincere gesture, and she readily agreed.
"Since the girl likes red so much, we are relieved. Chief Xuanjin and Chief Xuanyue glanced at each other and spoke. Lan Xin knew that the business was about to begin, so he pinched the teacup in his hand with confidence and looked at the two with a smile.
"The girl has been on our island for a few days, and she should know some of the rules on the island. Our two tribes, Xuanjin and Xuanyue, have the lowest status on this island. Chief Xuanjin was a little depressed when he said this, "It's not because the people of our tribe don't work hard, and it's not because the people of our tribe are not smart. It's just that our two tribes are located in low-lying areas, and the fields are waterlogged all year round, and there is relatively little arable land where corn and other grains can be grown.
If there is no arable land, there will be no food. If we don't have food, we have to borrow it from other tribes. To borrow food from others, it depends on the faces of others, and it is necessary to agree to some other conditions, and over time, our two tribes gradually ・・・・・・ "In front of Xinqi, it is not good for her to say the words "no status." However, I believe that the girl in front of me can understand.
"yes, even the red coral and rubies from our two tribes are worthless. Red gradually became the lowest color on the island. Chief Xuanyue's eyes were also red. It's not easy to be a chief, and it's even more difficult to be the chief of Xuanyue.
Lan Xin suddenly realized: Oh, it turns out that red and purple are gradually losing their status. Looking at the bitter tears on the faces of the two chiefs, although Lan Xin sympathized with her, she didn't show it on her face at all, she was about to leave, but she didn't want to get involved in this muddy water. He asked with a smile, "Then I don't know why the two chiefs came to me?"
"Well, we're so sorry we pulled away. Chief Xuanjin heard the alienation in Lan Xin's tone, and his heart was stunned, and he patronized and spoke, forgetting about the business, and said abruptly, "The rice seeds brought by the girl just met our urgent needs. With those seeds, our tribe will never run out of food again. So, the two of us came to thank the girl. With that, the two chiefs stood up and saluted Lan Xin together.
Lan Xin hurriedly got up and moved sideways, waved his hand and said, "The two chiefs are serious, hurry up." Although I brought rice seeds, I also took corn seeds from your island. The courtesies are still exchanged, and we can be regarded as even, and we don't need to thank them anymore. ”
"Girl, we are grateful. Chief Xuanyue said loudly, "Corn seeds are our Chiba Island's gratitude to the girl, and today's thank you gift is the gratitude of the two of us, specifically our two tribes to the girl." Please don't excuse the girl. As she spoke, she waved towards the door.
With her movements, more than a dozen two-foot square boxes were placed in the room one after another, and the front hall, which was originally very spacious, instantly became very crowded. Chief Xuanyue pointed to the six boxes and said, "This is a little bit of our tribe's heart, I don't know if the girl is satisfied." As the six boxes opened, the boxes of coral suddenly appeared in front of me, there were white corals, black corals, blue corals, and there were two boxes of brightly colored red corals!
Xinqi has lived on the island since she was a child, so she is naturally used to these things. What's more, they have a deep-ing-ed belief that they are not interested in brightly colored things, so they don't have too many expressions on their faces.
And Lan Xin and Qinghe are different, completely attracted by what is in front of them. Although I have been telling myself in my heart to be reserved and reserved, my eyes are still uncontrollably fixed on the box in front of me.
"This is a little bit of our Xuanjin tribe's heart. Chief Xuanjin pointed to the other boxes and said, looking at Lan Xin with a worried look in his eyes.
