26 Sapphires
When Xu Xun went to ask for peace, although he also deliberately dressed up, it was nothing more than two ruby pendants on his ears, and when he came back, there was an elaborate blue treasure phoenix hairpin on the top of his head, and the women in the palace had sharp eyes, all the way back, Xu Xun felt that those Chinese people and palace maids were looking at her, and their eyes were full of surprise, and they all aimed at their heads. She hated to wear a hood and cover her head to keep out of the limelight.
>
> looks like a sister who died young, is it really so advantageous? The little girl was a little suspicious all the way, but she bothered to think about it, and she didn't pay attention and followed the princess and the princess into the house. I should go to Zhang Cairen's house and be with the elders who are roughly the same status.
>
> Xu Xun hurriedly wanted to bow down to make amends, but the crown princess glanced at her with a smile, but waved her hand and excused her.
>
> "I got the reward, and I was a little panicked, right?" Even her tone was a little sour. But Xu Xun got Sun Yunu's advice last time, but he didn't dare to say anything more to the crown princess. She nodded. "I don't understand."
>
> Crown Princess smiled and touched Xu Xun's cheek, "Even if you are blessed, don't go to your heart, go out to play, the mother rewards you, that is yours, so you can take it, and please wear it on your head when you enter the palace in the future, which can be regarded as earning some face for the Taisun Palace." ”
>
Although >'s tone was a little reluctant, her attitude was still very sincere, and Xu Xun didn't think much about it: she felt that she was probably a raft again, but this kind of intrigue between the upper echelons had nothing to do with her, a little Jieyu.
>
> "Then I'll quit." She stood up and saluted the crown princess and the princess grandson, and carefully supported Feng Hai all the way, and when she saw that the two bosses had nothing else to say, she turned around and withdrew from the house and went to Zhang Cairen's house.
>
> the crown princess and the princess grandchild watched her back disappear behind the curtain, the crown princess suddenly laughed to herself, and said to herself, "This is really blessed, saying that it is reciprocating, but going around and around, two good things were given to her." ”
>
> the princess was also somewhat surprised, she twisted her brows, "This blue treasure-"
>
>"It's also the people below who honor your father," the princess said, "Your father is not willing to wear it often, and in order to repay the favor of the concubine, he offered it again." ”
>
> Concubine Taisun was speechless, and after a while, she said, "Niangniang is thoughtful......"
>
> if he didn't want to accept the favor of Chun and the palace, he accepted the blue treasure at that time, turned his head to reward something, and named it to the princess grandchild and the princess, or simply named Xu Xun. Isn't it good too? Otherwise, it would have been more straightforward, and I wouldn't accept it at that time, and the words would be clear, and the favor would have been implemented. When Concubine Taisun said this, she was a little unsure of the concubine's thoughts.
>
> the crown princess can also understand that the child is still young after all, and he still needs to be experienced. She shook her head slightly, "The concubine has been a little angry these days. ”
>
> she told the princess, "When Da Lang comes back tonight, you let him come to me first." ”
>
> Concubine Taisun naturally responded, she hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Otherwise, let Xiao Xun ......."
>
> Crown Princess glanced at her and waved her hand, "Your father's eyes and I are not so shallow." The mother is rewarded, that's hers...... She was born like a mother's sister-"
>
Seeing Concubine Taisun's expression >, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Whether it's real or not, it's her blessing." In the future in the Taisun Palace, you can't take her lightly. ”
>
> Concubine Taisun smiled and said, "Yes, you must keep it in mind." ”
>
>, even she was a little envious of Xu Xun's luck, "This girl is blessed." A sincere person who has no heart and no lungs, such a chance coincidence, but he has everything. ”
>
> Crown Princess just smiled and didn't say anything.
>
>#
>
> since Taisun's psychological threshold has been successfully broken through because of his own arrogance and Xu Xun's efforts, then Xu Xun, like He Xianxian and the others, has started his regular life of serving. A few days ago, the grandson went out with the emperor again - the emperor's active temperament is the best known in the palace, and he is only at home for half a month. As soon as he goes out, he has to take his grandson with him, so his grandson is often absent.
>
> wait for him to come back, it's still the same, first the grandson concubine, and then the grandson concubine. He Xianxian still has a little cough to take care of, and the next thing is Xu Xun.
>
> Xu Xun specially wore his blue treasure phoenix hairpin to show him, and introduced, "This is what Zhang Guifei Niangniang rewarded me." ”
>
> Taisun glanced at her with her head, as if he was deliberately making an indifferent appearance, and said, "I already knew." ”
>
> Xu Xun was a little unhappy, she pouted and said, "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to see the ruby earrings and complain that I didn't wear them for you?" It's so heavy and so valuable, if you rub it, you can't die of distress. ”
>
> Taisun was amused by her, the original indifferent mask disintegrated piece by piece, he twisted Xu Xun's face, pulled off the flower hairpin, took it in his hand and looked at it, and made a gesture to stab Xu Xun with the flower hairpin, "I really think it's strange, where did you get such a big blessing." Such a big sapphire, I still want it, my father is also a treasure, poured a few hands, and now it is yours. ”
>
> Xu Xun twisted a few times, but he couldn't care about being coquettish, and when he heard the grandson show a sharp word, he didn't hurry up and asked, "Is this-is it His Royal Highness the Prince?" Why did you go to Zhang Niangniang's again. ”
>
> Taisun didn't want to talk about it, he smiled, leaned over and inserted the blue treasure hairpin back into Xu Xun, and said, "It doesn't matter what you do so much, you can take it with you to look good." Well, if you wear it a little bit forward, the sapphire will illuminate half of your face. ”
>
> in the not very good lighting environment, the light of the gemstone must be more dazzling, Xu Xun was said by the grandson, and he also liked it very much, since the grandson said so, she did not go to the bottom of it, but found a mirror and admired it complacently for a while, before turning her head and asking the grandson, "What can you do with such a big gem - besides, I thought that this thing is not unusual for you here." The concubine has a box full of such good things......"
>
> Taisun smiled, "This is in the concubine Niangniang, and there are also numbers." It should be a good blue treasure from the West, the fleet of the Three Treasure Eunuchs brought back from the West, and it has been going around several times in the past few years before it fell into your hands. ”
>
>, "So, how much is this thing worth?" Xu Xun was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.
>
> "How much do you think it's worth?" Taisun asked rhetorically.
>
> Xu Xun thought for a while, not quite sure, "There has to be a ...... Well, more than 10,000 taels of silver, right? ”
>
> she compared and estimated the largest sapphire in her hand, and Grandma Sun said at that time: This soybean-sized sapphire can be sold for more than 100 taels outside. This gemstone is the size of a thumbnail, and it is thick and round, and it is not too much to multiply more than a hundred times. More than 10,000 taels, according to the field, the best good land can buy more than 300 acres, that is, more than three hectares, how big can this be? If you count the difference between Liangtian, Zhongtian and Xiatian, more than 10,000 taels, you can buy Xu Xun's grandmother's house and the neighboring village, and even the cultivated land in the residential area can still be left.
>
> a stone the size of a thumb cover can buy the land in the most prosperous area near Jingshi, the land of the two villages, and she thinks this valuation must be high. Unexpectedly, Taisun still shook his head, and he said very simply, "This thing is priceless." You can't buy it with more than 10,000 taels. ”
>
> Xu Xun must have been suppressed, she looked at the grandson blankly, and the grandson also came to talk, so she gave her an analysis.
>
> "The origin of sapphire is generally in Tianzhu, which is already very valuable in Tianzhu, and the silver is cheap there, but the silk is valuable. The Three Treasures eunuch took silk, tea and porcelain, and exchanged precious stones with the earth kings of Tianzhu, making the most cost-effective deal, guess how it was exchanged? ”
>
> Xu Xun shook his head dumbly, and Taisun compared a number, "I exchanged five hundred tribute satin and five hundred tribute yarn for a box of gems, and the largest one in it can be so big, and the smallest one is as small as more than half of the little thumb cover, a total of more than fifty." ”
>
> a thousand tributes, it can be sold for about two thousand taels of silver in the market, and it can be doubled if the suit is haode. With less than 5,000 taels of silver, to exchange for a box of more than 50 gems, an average gem is more than 100 taels. This is still an overestimation of the value of the tribute, if it is calculated according to the cost, it may be less than a hundred taels.
>
>After returning to China," said Taisun, "some merchants who do business according to this market have sold some precious stones, but of course they can't get such haode goods, at most they can sell them for more than 10,000 taels of your fineness." This one of yours may have been hit by great luck at that time, and it didn't make a tribute, but because it was too good, it could only be tributed, and I definitely didn't dare to wear it. So I'm telling you, more than 10,000 taels must be unstoppable, but it can't be sold at a price, the thing is too good, and it is only worthy of being worn by heaven. Isn't this going to pay tribute to my father layer by layer? Of course, Dad didn't spend a penny, you can say it's worthless, it's okay to say it's priceless, it's okay to say it's priceless, depending on what you think. ”
>
> said as he lifted the gem in Xu Xun's hand and shook it, simply breaking the words. "The concubine gave you a red treasure in order to support us. We can't say nothing, just right, this thing is new, and I saw my father wear it once. After the mother presented this blue treasure to the concubine Niangniang, she really liked it very much...... She rewarded you with this, just to show that she had more good things, and it was not rare for the three treasure eunuchs to pay tribute. It's just for the sake of gambling...... You see, this woman is really strange, her eyes light up when she sees gems, but she doesn't even want them for a breath. ”
>
> Xu Xun was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she understood that after the benefits she received, the favors owed were repaid with the help of the elders.
>
> she felt a little sympathetic to her grandson's zuihou, but she didn't want to reveal it. But after knowing the preciousness of this gem, Xu Xun was a little afraid to wear it, so he hurriedly took it off again, and said reverently, "It's so precious, you have to put it away properly, don't touch it, what a pity." ”
>
> Taisun said with a smile, "The vision is really shallow, and ...... in the future There are so many good things, and this one is nothing. I heard that among the jewels that the eunuchs of the Three Treasures paid tribute, the largest diamond is even bigger than this. ”
>
> Xu Xun also listened very fascinated, but she knew her identity, but she didn't have many expectations, she just said happily, "With how big it is, I have already topped it with this." ”
>
> Taisun glanced at her a few times, and saw that Xu Xun was indeed satisfied, and couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Since it's yours, wear it, and it's not yours if you don't want to wear it, and it's not yours to give it to you." ”
>
> Xu Xun pouted and said, "It's expensive, it's a while...... What if I scratch it? ”
>
> grandson inserted the hairpin himself. Entering Xu Xun's bun, he adjusted the angle, so that the huge sapphire hung down in front of Xu Xun's forehead, and laughed evilly. "What for a while? What are you going to do in a moment? ”
>
> Xu Xun pouted, bit her lip and glanced at Taisun, didn't speak, just rolled her eyes to look at the sapphire, she showed an innocent smile, and a pair of black crystal-like eyes reflected two small blue dots.
>
> Taisun's eyes deepened, he leaned on Xu Xun, bent down and whispered in her ear, "Xiao Xun, let's try again, okay?" This time, it won't hurt so much. ”
>
> what else can Xu Xun say, can she still say badly?
