A new red sun rises from the sea, and the silent sea and sky have more life, and the cries of seabirds fly over and the sound of the waves complement each other, and a few bubbles are freed up on the golden sea.

After breakfast, Li Yaowei was about to return home, and a lush shadow came into view, an island.

……

"The scenery here is so beautiful, no one has been here yet, has it?"

The island's beaches are sandy, the woods are lush and green, birds are gathered, and shells and corals are everywhere.

"The island is like a ring, like a crescent moon."

"And the water is actually blue, it's so beautiful."

"Look over there, there are a lot of little islands."

"It's just a little smelly, it's probably seabird droppings."

A group of women were excitedly discussing, and Li Yaowei was annoyed that he had not remembered the characteristics of the islands in the South China Sea.

"Xianggong, what is this?"

"It's coral, it's beautiful marine life."

"Huh? Why is it so hard? ”

Li Yaojian picked up a piece of coral from the beach, "This one is hard, and there are soft ones. This creature lives under the surface of the sea, it is beautiful, colorful, with all kinds of shapes, and transparent, as if a hundred flowers bloom in spring. ”

"Is it underwater?"

"Yes, it's about three or four hundred feet deep."

Xiaoxuan felt that it was a pity that she couldn't see such a beautiful thing.

"What are you looking for?"

"Seashells." Li Yaoyu replied casually, still looking for it with his head down, not letting go of every inch of the beach: "I found one." ”

"Lady help me pry it open, be careful." Li Yaoyu took the big shell and handed it to Fifth Yao, who took out his sword, cut it between the two shells of the seashell, and gently pried it.

"Damn, good luck, hahaha." Li Yaoyu was so excited that he burst into laughter, and dug out a huge pearl from the shell flesh, with a diameter of nearly two centimeters, full and shiny, crystal clear and dazzling in the sun.

"Wow! Is this a pearl? ”

"That's right! Is it good-looking? ”

It's so pretty! They all knew the beauty and preciousness of pearls, but they didn't expect it to be like this.

"This pearl is so much bigger than I've seen before!" Du Manwan couldn't believe it.

"Of course, the pearls you have seen before are basically picked from shells in the river, and the shellfish in the river are relatively small, and the pearls produced are naturally small."

Li Yaowei carefully washed the pearls, "Go back and find someone to make a hairpin or a step shake, it must look good on the lady's head." ”

Fifth Yao smiled shallowly, her heart was warm, her eyes were full of softness, Xiao Xuan and Du Manwan saw it, a little envious, but there was no jealousy, only the status of Fifth Yao was worthy of the best.

Xie Yun was eager to try, "I'm going to look for it too, and the county duchess will also help me pry it open." ”

"Get out, I want my wife to help you do the tiring work, are you looking for death?" Li Yaowei scolded angrily.

Xie Yunfei smiled, "What, I'll take it back to the boat and pry it myself." ”

"You all go pick it up, the meat of these seashells is delicious." Li Yaojian instructed the servants.

There are not many sea shells washed up by the tide to the beach, but there should not be many people who have come to this island, and the group has been looking for a long time, searching a large beach, and has gained a lot.

Carrying a whole box of seashells, happily returned to the boat, Xie Yunfei and Qian Ersheng followed the servants to open the shells, those women were inconvenient to use knives, Li Yaowei asked them to follow the maid to wash the pearls.

"Huh? How not? ”

"I have one here."

Li Yaojian explained on the side, "Not every shell has pearls, and some shells will have several. ”

"Jungong, there are three of them."

"I've got one, too." Xie Yunfei shouted excitedly, "It's so small." ”

"Don't lose that meat, damn it, I'm going to eat it at noon!"

"Oh...... I forgot, hehe. Xie Yunfei picked it up and said.

Li Yaoyu and Fifth Yao watched them have a good time, "Lady, what's the matter, do you like such a big pearl?" ”

"Hmm." Fifth Yao played with the huge pearl and smiled sweetly.

In half an hour, all the seashells were pried open, and there were hundreds of pearls in total, which was simply a lot of money.

"You divide it equally, dozens of each, as a pearl necklace or bracelet, it looks good."

"Sister, it's yours." Du Manwan handed dozens of them to Fifth Yao.

"I don't want it, I'll have this." Fifth Yao refused, she didn't make any efforts, and with this biggest, she was already satisfied.

Du Manwan insisted: "Sister, if you don't take it, we won't dare to take it." ”

Qian Ersheng waved his hand: "What, Lord Jungong, I don't need it." ”

"You take it, you can bring it to your father and mother when you go home in the future, or you can give it to your mother after marrying in the future."

Xie Yunfei also said, "That's right, I'll send half to my mother." The other half he wanted to give to Xu Qiuping, everyone knew what he meant, and he glanced at Xu Qiuping inadvertently, Xu Qiuping turned his head unnaturally, and his heart was interrupted: Don't give it to me.

"Also, pearls are edible, have a good therapeutic effect, and also have a good effect on women's skin, and can also be used to wash the face to remove mud and melanin, and lighten freckles."

"So powerful?" These women look at pearls as if they are priceless, and who doesn't want their skin to be white and tender?

……

After a two-day voyage, the ship entered the mouth of the Pearl River.

Looking at the home that was about to return, these people were not very excited, "I don't want to come back." ”

Xie Yunfei's words also represent the voices of other people, these days, they have seen things that they have never heard of in their lives, and they can't even think of them.

If they could, they would really want to continue sailing on a boat and continue to experience the vastness and variety of the world.

Back in Nanhai County, Li Yaowei took the family to the jewelry store, Xiaoxuan, Du Manwan, Xiao Qin and Su Yue, all of whom used pearls to make necklaces and hairpins.

And the fifth Yao is the highlight, Li Yaowei bought a piece of raw jade, let the craftsman carve it into a flower, and then inlay the pearl into the center of the petals, and then fixed it on the golden hairpin, strung it up with a dozen small pearls, made into a tassel, and hung it under the carving.

The next day, with a big bounty, the craftsmen of the jewelry shop completed their task.

Li Yaowei gently pinned this pearl that had been carefully done for nearly a day on the fifth Yao bun, jade flowers, pearls, facing in front of him, pearls and carved jade, shiny, crystal clear.

"It's so beautiful!"

Li Yaojian praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Is it pretty?" Fifth Yao asked unconfidently, Xiao Xuan brought the mirror, "Sister, this step looks so good, it looks better after you wear it." ”

"Gorgeous, restrained, elegant and atmospheric, it matches my sister's temperament very well." Du Manwan agreed.

In terms of beauty, Du Manwan is confident that she will not lose to Fifth Yao, but in terms of temperament, Fifth Yao is too good, with a proud earthly momentum, she doesn't do anything, standing quietly, it will make people surrender unconsciously.
