Ziren hurried all the way, and arrived outside Changning Fort in a short time, and was bumping into Zu Damu and people unloading the bricks and stones he bought. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "General, you're back, this is the rest of the silver, a total of one hundred and thirty taels, you have seen it." Zu Damu saw Ziren returning to the fort and immediately greeted him, so he handed the silver to Ziren, and said with a serious face: "The ox cart with the bricks and stones cost a total of one hundred and eighty taels of silver, I counted it carefully, and the general gave me ten taels more silver when he was careless, and now they are all here." ”

"I've learned about the market, this thing costs at least two hundred taels of silver, and you kid didn't bother to bargain, right?" The ten taels of silver were deliberately given by Ziren, seeing that Zu Damu had learned a lesson, he nodded with a smile, and after handing him fifty taels of silver, he continued: "It's hard to carry the stones, take the silver to buy some wine and meat and come back to reward everyone, and if you have more, I will reward you." "Thank you for the reward," Hearing this, Zu replied with a smile.

"Young Master, what about me? Along the way, I was worried that the stone would bump into it, but I always held it in my arms and suffered a lot! "Ding Youcai saw that Zu Damu was rewarded, and he came to show his merit with a courteous face." Look at your little bit of interest, when did I treat you badly, young master, and I will give you a rising eye today, where did you put that stone? Ziren saw that he had no money, and shook his head with a smile.

Although Youcai didn't understand why his young master had a soft spot for this big stone, he felt that what Ziren liked was right, and immediately led Ziren to the stone.

The stone that Ziren got from the bull market was a "jade stone". When the jade is mined, most of it is wrapped in a layer of weathered stone skin, and it is impossible to know what is inside, and only after cutting can we know the geometry of its jade content.

It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a jade expert named 'Bian He' in the Chu State, and he got a piece of jade in Jingshan (now Xiangyang City, Hubei Province). Bian He dedicated this stone to King Chu Li, and King Li ordered the jade workers in the palace to check it, and the jade workers did not know this thing and said that it was just an ordinary stone. King Li was furious and cut off Bian He's kick for the crime of bullying the king.

After the death of King Li, King Wu ascended the throne, Bian He once again held this piece of jade to meet King Wu, King Wu ordered the jade to check again and still said that it was just a stubborn stone, King Wu was furious and broke Bian and a kick. King Wu died, King Wen ascended the throne, Bian He lost his feet and could not enter the palace to see him, and he cried bitterly for three days and three nights under Chu Mountain with Puyu in his arms, and finally his eyes shed bloody tears.

When King Wen learned about it, he sent someone to ask him why he did this, and Bian He said: "Baoyu is famous for stone, and the chastity is scattered, and this minister is sad." "So, King Wen ordered someone to cut open this piece of jade, and saw that it really contained a piece of rare jade, named 'He's Bi', and Bian He was named 'Zero Yang Hou' after many years. He's Bi has been circulating in the world for hundreds of years since then, until it disappeared in the Later Jin Dynasty, and has been regarded as "the treasure of the world" and sought after by the emperors of all dynasties. It can be seen that this treasure jade still needs people who know how to appreciate it.

Besides, the jade bag obtained by Ziren is rough and uneven on the outside, full of spots. However, with his own pair of heavenly eyes, Ziren sensed that this stone had a little aura overflowing, and decided that it must contain a jade fetus in its "ugly exterior and inner show".

Ziren now has an injured thumb and is unable to open the stone himself. He called a few military craftsmen and carefully removed the outer stones with small planers. Unexpectedly, almost a third of the way was removed, and there was still a rough stone body inside, and a sense of foreboding instantly surged into my heart. In a hurry, he didn't care about the injury to his thumb, so he took a sledgehammer and aimed it at the stone, and the stone instantly split into two pieces like a watermelon, and the two sections were still variegated stones. The aura that could be faintly detected before was also missing.

"My lord has looked away...... "Many soldiers and civilians in the fort heard that Ziren had obtained a jewel head, and they all gathered around, and they couldn't help but talk about it when they saw this." The young master is fine, I don't want this reward. Youcai saw that Ziren was displeased, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him.

Ziren was so angry when he saw that the stone with high hopes was so unbearable, and he simply smashed three hammers at the larger half of the stone, but he didn't expect to find nothing. Under the blows, Ziren's face became more and more pale, and he was stunned there silently. "Everyone is scattered, the young master just took a stone to pickle sauerkraut, don't talk nonsense when you go home." Ding Youcai saw the pork liver color on the young master's face, and hurriedly opened his mouth to disperse everyone.

As everyone got up to leave, Ziren still didn't give up and took the hammer and smashed it down on the smaller stone after it was cracked. The small stone was extremely hard, and Ziren's hands were numb, but only a fist-sized horn was shattered, revealing a jade face as green as a lake. "Wow wow......" There were a few people with slow legs who hadn't gone far yet, and they suddenly let out an exclamation! Ding Youcai's eyes couldn't help but widen, and his mouth was about to flow out.

"Hahaha" Ziren was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing. Look at this jade color again, transparent and flawless, warm and delicate! Ziren immediately ordered someone to fetch clean water and sprinkle it on the jade surface with his own hands. I saw that this water droplet gathered but not dispersed, full like a pearl, but also reflected bursts of oil-like luster, it is a treasure 'Xiuyan jade'.

Ziren couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder people who play jade say that one knife is poor and two knives are rich, and they really don't know what is hidden until the last one." At this time, he thought of Ding Youcai, picked up the scrap material he had just knocked down, and stuffed it into his hand, "You Cai, take it, the young master will reward you, this piece of material will be taken to the pawnshop and the price will be less than 100 taels, you will come back to me and see how I clean up this black shop." ”

"Young master, how can I be the thing you reward, find someone to carve it in the future, and keep it as a family heirloom." Ding Youcai had long heard the phrase 'gold is priceless but jade is priceless', so he took the stone with a smile and carefully wrapped it and put it close to his body.

Ziren was worried that the warcraftsman would hurt the jade tire by clumsiness, so he and Youcai put the remaining ten catties of 'Bao Yu' in his room, closed the door and locked it in a wooden box. Prepare to wait for the injury to heal before opening the stone yourself. "Young master, how much silver is such a large piece of jade worth?" Youcai asked expectantly on the side.

"A tael of good Xiuyan jade with good work can be worth thirty taels of gold, but how much jade is hidden in this stone will have to be opened later." Ziren said as he reopened the door.

Who knew that the people in the fort led by Lei Zhenwei, Cui Desheng, and Han Shiyong were all surrounded at the door of Ziren with anticipation, holding the stones that had just been fished out of the sauerkraut jar, and said in unison: "General, help me see if there is a jade tire in this stone!" ”
