Wang was also excited, and said with a smile, "More than that," she took out the emerald and said knowingly, "This kind of stone is called emerald, not jadeite." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info You look at the color, it's lighter than jadeite, and it's a little transparent. I used to see a lady wearing jewelry in the embroidery workshop that was particularly beautiful, and then I heard the shopkeeper say that it was called emerald, which was more valuable than jadeite. This emerald, plus so many rubies, is more than a hundred taels of silver. ”

Chen Afu said that he wanted to take them to Fucheng and sell them to buy fields. He also said that he would not buy land nearby, but buy farther and rent it out, and others would not know.

Chen Ming asked, "If someone else knows, then how do you explain the origin of the money? In that case, it is likely that many rich people will come forward and say that they lost the gem there. ”

Chen Afu said with a smile, "We really have to investigate it, we also have something to say." Listening to Steward Luo, Abbot Lichen said that the ten sparrows were not ordinary, and she asked the uncle of the Chu family to give me silver. I calculated, it will not be less than a hundred taels. I got a hundred taels of silver by selling sewing kits, and I got a lot of taels of silver by selling braised pork recipes and golden slippery meat, and the master of Tang Garden rewarded us. When the time comes, I'll sell those dolls again, and we won't say the actual amount, and they don't know how much money we've made. He also said, "If I buy more, I still want to divide dozens of acres in my father's name and pass it on to my younger brother in the future." ”

Chen Ming hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Dad, don't want it." You have already given so much silver to your father, and your father will buy it himself when he wants to buy the field. Besides, if your aunt knows that I have so much land in my name, but doesn't tell them, and doesn't know how to make a fuss, your uncle will be unhappy. Dad doesn't want to make your uncle angry, let's talk about it later. ”

Wang also said, "What your father said is that if we don't say anything about buying the land, your aunt will say that we are hiding our secrets, and your uncle will be unhappy." ”

Even if Chen Ming and Wang didn't care about Hu's thoughts, they couldn't help but care about Chen Ye's thoughts.

Chen Afu said secretly, Chen Ming and the Wang family are still too buns. Chen Ye raised Chen Ming, but he can't ask him for instructions and report everything, and he has to look at other people's faces with his own money. But it couldn't be done, so he put the deed directly on Alu's head.

On the evening of the 6th, Mrs. Chen, Chen Ye, and Hu Shi came again, and they brought Chen Shi some snacks, as well as corn, peanuts, sesame seeds, vegetables and other things that had just been harvested.

Chen Ye also said, "Let the third child come back for the New Year, my mother misses him, and I miss him too." ”

Wang nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Chen glanced at Hu Shi and snorted angrily. Originally, the old lady also wanted to follow the Wang family to see her third son's family this time, but she had some headaches in the past few days and had been taking decoction, so she had to give up this idea. She said to the Wang family meaningfully, "Tell the third child, now that the life of the eldest and second children is better, let him have difficulties and don't bear it himself, the two brothers will help." This year's Chinese New Year, he must come back to see his wife. ”

The second room of the Chen family did not bring food to Chen Shi's family this time, and they knew that Dafang and Mrs. Chen would send these. They sent satin, head flowers, and some school supplies.

Chen Shi and his daughter-in-law Zhang are both good people, and they have helped Ah Lu a lot before, and Chen Ming's family is very grateful to them. This time, I had to trouble his house for ten days and half a month, so I gave a lot of gifts.

The next day, the Chen family got up before dawn, and after breakfast, when the old man Gao came with a donkey cart. Two days ago, Wang told him that he was going to hire his family's donkey cart today.

Before going out, Chen Dabao also nervously instructed Chen Afu, "Mother, have you put the silver and gems away?"

Chen Afu said, "Son, don't worry, the thing is kept secret, and no one can find out." ”

Chen Dabao was relieved when he heard it.

In the early morning of autumn, it was also cold, Wang took a mattress and spread it on the car, and Ah Lu lay down and covered him with a small quilt. After putting three large baskets and two baskets in the back of the car, Wang, Chen Afu and Dabao got into the car.

They waved goodbye to Chen Ming, who was standing at the fence gate, and watched as his figure grew smaller and smaller until they were out of sight.

Chasing the wind kept sending them out of the village, and only stopped with tears in their eyes after being persuaded by several people. Chen Dabao has already told it to let him watch the house and accompany his grandfather at home. and let Qiqi and Ash go to the forest to play more, and worry less about grandpa at home. He also specifically warned them that they could only go to the western forest where Jinbao used to take them before, and they should not run around, otherwise they would not find their way home.

Xiangluo Village is not far from the capital city of Dingzhou, only more than 50 miles away, and it has to pass through a Zhongning County on the way. Since the road is all plain and the road is flat, the donkey cart can be reached in more than three hours. In other words, if there is no accident, noon will arrive.

Chen Afu put on the hat, and several people sat in the car and swayed, looking at the scenery along the way, chatting without saying a word, and time flew by. This is a plain area, there are many fertile fields along the way, and it is a veritable land of fish and rice, and it seems that the security is also good.

After walking for an hour, Ah Lu, who had been lying down and looking at the sky, suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "Look, those two birds are one big and one small, like our Qiqi and Gray." ”

A few people looked up and saw that it was indeed like Qiqi and Ash, flying in their direction.

When we got closer, it was really them. The two birds fell, the ashes fell on Chen Afu's hands, and the seven fell on Chen Dabao's hands.

Dabao said unhappily, "Why are you so disobedient, this road is not the road you are familiar with, what if you can't find a home." ”

Chen Afu also said, "We are here to do business, and we don't have time to watch you." What if there are nobles who force you to buy again, follow Uncle Gao home. ”

Ash and Qiqi didn't want to go back, but they flapped their wings vigorously and called "mother", "Dabao", and "uncle".

Dabao and Ah Lu were reluctant to help them say good things, "Just let them go, we will definitely hide them." ”

Uncle Gao laughed, "These two parrots are really smart, it's strange that a few days ago, there were rumors in the village that someone had the idea of beating them, but it was Uncle Luo who spoke, so they weren't robbed." ”

Chen Afu had no choice but to vacate a basket of sesame seeds, put them in, and cover them with a piece of cloth.

On the way, not to mention the rich uncle, even two strong men can "force bought" them.

There are still more than one or twenty miles away from the capital city of Dingzhou, and you can often see soldiers in military uniforms. Although Dingzhou is not a provincial capital, it is a strategic place in all dynasties, so there are many garrisons around. And because it is close to the capital, the North Canal will pass through here, it is a transportation hub, and the economy is extremely prosperous, and its wealth is no less than that of the provincial capital Shi'anfu.
