Chapter 242
Purple clothes stared at the two large boxes three feet square in a daze, and the white pearls emitted a round light, which made her a little unable to open her eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info was in a trance, and seemed to hear what Qinghe and the others said, and it seemed that the voice was far away and nothing was heard. My heart was a little dull, and my chest felt like a stone had been pressed, and I was a little out of breath.
Mother Liu and Mother Zhen came in with two stacks of baskets, and when they saw these people laughing around the box, they immediately became angry and reprimanded loudly: "What are you doing here?" Where have you learned the usual rules? Seeing the pearls in their hands, they were even more distressed, frowned, gritted their teeth and reprimanded, "You guys are so unruly, pearls are so precious, why did you get started?" Hurry up and put the beads down. ”
"Mother Liu, Mother Jane." Seeing the two coming in together, a few little girls hurriedly stood up in an orderly manner. Some people didn't have time to put down the beads in their hands, and when they heard Liu's mother's words, they couldn't help but whisper, "We all washed our hands." ”
"Yes, yes, we wiped our hands with a handkerchief many times!" Someone immediately chimed in.
"What's the use of washing it a few times. I see that when the owner of someone's jewelry store takes the pearls, he wraps them in a cotton handkerchief. No matter how clean your hands are, you can't wash them. Mother Liu frowned and reprimanded, and when she saw that some people didn't believe it, she turned her head and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Mother Zhen to see if those people in the palace are also as rude as you?" After saying that, he glared at them with hatred.
Even though Zhen's mother has been in the palace for so many years and is well-informed, she was really surprised to see these two boxes of pearls. If you think about the other boxes in the storeroom, they must be valuable. Hearing Mother Liu say this, she smiled and nodded: "Yes, except for the nobles in the palace, the female officials and palace maids have to be held with handkerchiefs when they touch the precious jewels." And those little palace maids are not qualified to get started at all. ”
Everyone's hearts sank, and they suddenly felt that the sweat on their backs had come down. He looked at Lan Xin in a panic.
Lan Xin sat cross-legged on the soft couch, holding a tea cup in his hand, and watched the interaction of these people in the room with a smile. Since Pearl moved into the house, everyone's expressions can be said to be in full view. I saw a few people who were frightened by Jane's mother's words. put the teacup in his hand on the small table next to him, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's rare to be happy, the two mothers don't want to hold them back, they can come as happy as they want." The two mothers led them to divide the two boxes of pearls. ”
When Dongxiu and the others heard Lan Xin say this, they immediately smiled. He hung his head and laughed quietly, like a little mouse that had stolen oil. "Girl, you're going to spoil them like that." Mother Liu said disapprovingly, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, her eyes were full of smiles, and her face was not as serious as when she first entered the door.
Lan Xin said with a smile: "Mother Liu is too worried, they are all measured people, and they are not bad. Even if it's out of proportion for a while, aren't there still two mothers in town?! ”
Mother Jane said with a smile: "The girl really looks down on the old slave. But although the old slave has been around for some years, it's still okay to have eyes for the girl or something. But then again, the people in our house are all governors, and there is no need for the old slave to say more. is like the girl in purple, calm and atmospheric, when the old slave is so old, he doesn't have this stability. ”
"I can't afford my mother's praise, the slave is just doing her duty." Ziyi said with a red face, and he didn't know where to put it.
"Alright, let's get to work. If we continue to talk, today's pearls will be inseparable. Lan Xin commanded with a smile. He glanced at Jane's mother and exchanged a meaningful look.
Because of the two mothers by their side, these people were a little cramped and didn't dare to speak, so they could only keep their heads down and do the work in their hands.
Mother Zhen looked at the round pearls the size of lotus seeds and rice in her hand, and couldn't help but praise: "Girl, many of the pearls in this box are very good. You can make a set of head noodles. ”
"Only a pearl like that can get into your eyes?" Dongxiu glanced at the pearl in Zhen's mother's hand, and couldn't help but sigh, "In the eyes of slaves, like this is very rare." As he spoke, he held up the small, irregular pearl in his hand. Squinting and smiling.
Jane's mother didn't smile, but in her heart it was just that she had seen few good things. Lan Xin looked at Dong Xiu's smile and said with a smile: "After you finish dividing this box of pearls, you won't be so rare for such a small pearl." ”
Belch? Dongxiu's movements in his hands paused. Then he shook his head and said, "No, no matter how small the pearl is, the slave and maid will not dislike it." He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Girl, when you go to sea next time, you might as well take your slave with you." Let the slave maid also go to the addiction of pearl prie. ”
Dongxiu's words caused everyone's response, and they all raised their heads one after another, looking at Lan Xin expectantly. Lan Xin looked at those eyes full of anticipation and giggled. Shaking his head, he said helplessly: "How can there be so many good things in this world, every time you go to sea, you will encounter pearls?" This time, it was also because of a storm at sea, and the boat was washed up by the waves to a small island, so I encountered these pearls. I'm afraid I won't have such luck. In the last sentence, I don't know if she said that she was lucky to survive the storm or if she encountered so many pearls.
"Shhh Everyone sighed in their hearts, although the girl said that the wind was light, but they all understood. Such a large ship was swept away by the waves, and the danger at that time can be imagined. The people who were still giggling just now suddenly became serious on their faces, and they also became serious about the pearls in their hands.
Lan Xin watched the change in their attitudes, squinting her eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a beautiful arc. Reaching for the pillow beside her, she leaned in lazily, no one knowing what she was thinking.
After the pearls were divided, Lan Xin took out some pearls that were small in size and not very uniform in shape, and handed them to Liu's mother and asked her to divide them. He took out a basket of moderately sized, round and white pearls and handed them to Jane's mother, and asked her to find someone to punch the pearls in the eyes, and she was going to wear them into a curtain.
Yes? As soon as Lan Xin's words fell, everyone stared in surprise. Lan Xin just pursed his lips and smiled, without explaining much. The remaining pearls, of course, were packed up in size and placed in the storeroom.
