Chapter Eighty-Three: Picking Up Gems

Chen Afu specifically inquired, and there were no diamonds in the Dashun Dynasty, so she hadn't thought about when these two small stones would come out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and other jewelry can find a suitable opportunity to take out and sell.

In the notice of the gold thief, the stolen items are also listed, and there are no gold ornaments with emeralds and rubies.

So Chen Afu picked three rubies and an emerald. Preparing for Chen Dabao to fall and pick up these gems when he was collecting firewood.

The two emeralds are turquoise and transparent, the size of half an index finger, one round and one diamond-shaped. She picked out a round emerald with a slightly darker color, and the one she preferred would come later. The three rubies are a little smaller than the emeralds, oval in shape, and should have been taken from the same gold ornament.

Now, she has a hundred and thirty taels of silver and forty taels of gold, and if she can sell them for two or three hundred taels of silver, she will be able to make up more than eight hundred taels of silver.

The upper land here is five taels of silver per acre, and the paddy fields are six taels of silver per acre. Regardless of paddy fields or land, she wants to buy more than 100 acres, distribute dozens of acres to Chen Ming, and leave 100 acres for herself, to be a veritable small landlord and live comfortably.

I don't know how much silver the uncle of the Chu family can give, she guessed that although the ten sparrows are precious and beautiful, they are definitely not as valuable as Qiqi and Gray Ash, but there will definitely be a hundred taels of silver less. The money he gave was reserved for next year's renovation of the yard and pocket money.

The thighs that should be hugged were also held firmly, and she didn't want to be too herself. Now in the thatched house, she is worried about leakage when it rains heavily.

Chen Afu wrapped a few gems in a handkerchief and told Jin Yanzi his thoughts. Jin Yanzi stopped what was in his mouth and said, "As long as it's not something on Yan Agarwood, Mommy can take it out if she wants." ”

Chen Afu said about Chu Hanyan's illness again, which means, after the little girl returns to Tang Garden, can she take some things on Yan Agarwood out for the little girl to eat.

Jin Yanzi said happily, "Okay, I helped my beautiful sister and helped Mommy, killing two birds with one stone." ”

Chen Afu said, "You help your beautiful sister, why did you pull me in again." ”

Jin Yanzi chirped and said, "The person who helps the beautiful sister is Mommy, and the person is just an unsung hero." ”

Oh, and the little thing is right, too.

The next day, after dinner, and without a lunch break, Chen Afu put on a hat and pulled Dabao to lead Chasing the wind to collect firewood in the forest in the west of the village.

It's the hottest time of the day. The autumn sun is still sunning, there are not many people picking up firewood, and occasionally people who know him say hello to Dabao. There are not many people who greet Chen Afu, except for those who have intentions for her, they love to greet her, and the Chen family and the family of the martial carpenter will talk to her, and almost no one else in the village will talk to Chen Afu. One is not familiar with her, and the other is afraid of her or doesn't like her toughness.

Chen Afu was happy like this, she took Chen Dabao and Chasing the Wind to a place where there were few people. When she came to a place where there was no one, Chen Afu was separated from Dabao at a certain distance, and seeing that Dabao was picking up firewood seriously, she quickly dug a small pit with a machete and buried the three gems in it. Then he quickly filled it with earth, took some leaves and branches, covered it, and threw the remaining ruby into the branch.

Chen Afu got up, and Chen Dabao greeted him and said that there are many chai here. Waiting for Dabao to come over, Chen Afu was suddenly kicked by a branch, and with an "ouch" sound, he pushed Dabao in front of her.

Chen Dabao fell and chewed. He was just about to exhale the pain, but what was the sparkle in front of him? it shone red in the sunlight that shone from between the branches and leaves. How wide did his mouth open, and his little paws pulled the branches and leaves apart as fast as they could, and picked up such things, and how could this little stone be so shiny like the jewel on the head of a rich woman?

His heart and liver throbbed wildly, and he suddenly clenched his little hand into a fist, and looked around.

Fortunately, there is no hostility.

He turned around and squatted Chen Afula hard, and whispered in her ear, "Mother, look, my son has picked up the baby." His little hand, which he had tightened tightly, loosened a little.

Chen Afu couldn't help but smile and pretended to be startled, and then whispered in Dabao's ear in surprise, "Son, this is a ruby, which is worth a lot of money." ”

Dabao nervously put his little hand into Chen Afu's big hand and said, "Mother, take it quickly, let's stay here for a while, if there is no master to look for it, this thing will belong to us." ”

This kid isn't very greedy yet. This kind of behavior of his is already very good, after all, there is no police station at this time. If you pick up something, there is no place to hand it over, and if you hand it over to the yamen, you will definitely be greedy by those little officials.

Chen Afu put away the gems with a smile and said, "Okay, let's dig here again and see if there are any valuable good things." ”

Chen Dabao glanced at Chen Afu approvingly, and whispered, "It's still my mother who thinks it through, and my son digs it right away." ”

He looked around again, and when he saw that no one had come, he squatted down and dug with a small canknife. Ah, three small stones were dug up, two of which were red and one of which was green.

Dabao was so excited that he grabbed the three small stones into his hand as quickly as he could. Due to panic, I also grabbed half a handful of mud. He looked around again, there was no hostile situation, nervously put his little hand into Chen Afu's big hand, and whispered, "Mother, put it away." ”

The nervousness of the little kid also infected Chen Afu, she also looked around, and saw that there was no hostile situation, so she whispered, "Son, this thing is buried so deeply, I don't know how long others have lost it, we will definitely not be able to wait for someone." "Meaning, if the owner can't find it, then these things should belong to them.

Chen Dabao smiled brightly, nodded "um", and the two of them carried firewood and walked outside the forest with the chasing wind.

It's just that Chen Dabao will fall on his heels every once in a while, and then take a closer look at the ground, and then use his little hands to pull the withered grass underground. I didn't see anything shiny, so I got up again in disappointment.

Chen Afu was so amused, he really thought that he could pick up a few gems by falling.

She took his hand and whispered, "Dabao, the good luck of being able to pick up a treasure after a fall is hard to come by." The vast majority of people will never meet each other in their lifetime. ”

Dabao listened, so he didn't continue to fall on his heels.

Go home and close the door. When Chen Ming and Wang heard about this unbelievable incident, they were shocked. When I saw those gems that were still sticking to some soil, my mouth was even bigger open, and I even stammered when I spoke.

This, this, this, how could such a thing happen!

Chen Ming sighed, "Ah Fu is really as the monk said, he is blessed. As soon as her illness is cured, not only will our family change greatly, but Dabao can even encounter this kind of good thing. God, I can't think of it, I can't think of it. This jadeite and three rubies must be worth at least a hundred taels of silver. ”
