Chapter 328: Dividing the Spoils (Part II)

"This bracelet came out from under the head of the bed, if it weren't for the king's careful observation, I'm afraid I would have missed it!"

Li Yuanba jumped down from the line, took out the five pairs of bracelets from the green jade box, and handed them to Wushun, Princess Gaoyang, Xia'er and Zhao Jingjing, one for each person.

It's not that Li Yuanba is stingy, it's really that these five pairs of bracelets are all things that can be found, and it's already good for one person to bring one, if one person really wears a pair, unless that person has a splash of wealth and wealth, otherwise, I'm afraid it will really damage Yangshou.

After all, people can raise jade, and jade can also raise people. This is a process of interaction with each other, and the human jade needs to complement each other, but once the magnetic field of one side is too large, then it is not only complementary, but it is also a matter of time before the essence is lost.

Li Yuanba heard such a little story in his previous life:

It is said that there is a local tyrant real estate businessman, in order to show that he is rich, he does not work cars, houses, watches, and clothes, but loves some jade jewelry, especially nephrite in China.

For example, pendants, buttons, bracelets, beads made of Hetian jade...... And so on, all of them are worth a lot of money.

He seems to regard the pursuit of jade as a part of his life, and wears these things on his body every day, which is extremely in line with his identity as a local tyrant.

But one day, the local tyrant real estate developer went to the temple to burn incense, but suddenly fainted in the process of burning incense, which frightened his bodyguards and accompanying relatives, who were going to carry the local tyrant down the mountain at that time.

At this time, an old monk sweeping the floor in the temple stopped them, saying that although this local tyrant real estate developer is rich and noble, he is short-lived, and it will be difficult to survive this catastrophe.

At first, the family of the local tyrant real estate developer did not believe it, thinking that the old monk in the shabby monk's robe was blinding them. The purpose is just to trick them into making money for sesame oil.

But at that time, the body of the local tyrant real estate developer trembled violently, and he saw that he was about to return to the west.

The family members of this local tyrant real estate developer really had no choice but to be a dead horse doctor and ask the old monk for help.

The old monk sighed and didn't say anything, just silently took off all the jade ornaments on the local tyrant real estate developer's body, except for the mutton fat white jade pendant around his neck.

At first, the family members of those local tyrant real estate developers were still a little surprised, you said that you just treat the disease and save people, why do you want to take off all these things? Could it be that you, an old monk, have six impure roots and want to covet these jades?

But then. A scene that surprised them appeared.

Because the effect was immediate, but after a few breaths, all the symptoms on the local tyrant real estate developer began to gradually weaken, and in the end, it completely subsided, and the local tyrant real estate developer also sobered up as if nothing happened.

When the family of the local tyrant real estate developer counted the circumstances of the old monk saving him, the local tyrant real estate developer was crying bitterly, crying and shouting to ask about the cause.

The old monk said to him: "The donor's illness is not due to him, but because he has been poisoned by jade!" The poison of jade is hidden invisibly, and if it is in the middle, there is no life of great wealth and longevity. I'm afraid I'm worried about my life! ”

After this incident, the local tyrant real estate developer said that he had locked all the best jade products in the safe of the bank, and the sudden illness never appeared on him again.

The story sounds bizarre. But it's true.

……

Wu Shun and Princess Gaoyang took the blood jade bracelet handed over by Li Yuanba without the slightest hesitation and brought it in their hands, while Xia'er and Zhao Jingjing began to push and drag it up.

"Lord Wang, such a precious thing. Slaves and maids dare not take it! Zhao Jingjing's eyes flashed with a hint of expectation, but in the end she refused.

"Lord, slave maid...... Neither can slaves and maids be accepted! ”

Don't look at the little girl Xia'er looks soft and weak. It seems that anyone can bully it, but in fact, this is also a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and if she makes any decisions, she is afraid that it will be difficult to change it.

Li Yuanba gently tugged the hands of the two girls, personally put the bracelet on their jade-like wrists, and said, "This thing, since it has been molded, it is naturally for people to wear it." You are all the closest people in this king's house, if you don't give you, you can't be this king, right? ”

"That's it, Miss Xia'er, Miss Jingjing, you see that the Fourth Emperor Uncle has to have more than thirty boxes here, and there must be treasures equivalent to this in them, just a few things, I'm afraid that the Fourth Emperor Uncle has never seen it at all!"

Li Ke was helping on the side, but those eyes were aimed at the thirty or so brocade boxes thiefly, and he didn't have any good ideas.

"This ...... The slave and maid thanked the prince! ”

Zhao Jingjing and Xia'er looked at each other for a word, and then they reluctantly accepted it, and gently stroked the jade bracelet with their right hand.

It can be seen that the two little girls like this blood jade bracelet very much.

"Shun'er, these three bracelets, you will hand them over to your mother-in-law and two sisters when you turn around, they have been married for so long, and this king has not given them any gifts, so I really shouldn't think about it!"

Seeing that the two women no longer shirked, Li Yuanba took out three more tables from the box and handed them directly to Wu Shun.

A gentle smile flashed on Wu Shun's face, and he said, "The concubine is the mother and two younger sisters, thank you husband!" ”

Li Yuanba waved his hand, turned to Li Ke and said, "Boy, pick it, I already knew that you stinky boy had been aiming at a pair of thief eyes for a long time!" ”

"Hehe, Uncle Four Emperors still understands me!"

Li Ke smiled, rubbing a pair of big hands back and forth in front of the more than thirty boxes, suddenly his eyes lit up, he walked to the corner, picked up the innermost box the size of a fist, and said, "Fourth Emperor Uncle, I want this!" ”

Li Yuanba was slightly stunned when he saw this, and smiled weirdly: "Are you sure?" If you take it, you can't change it! ”

Seeing Li Yuanba's reaction, Li Ke subconsciously thought that the things in this box were not a good thing, and wanted to drop the box and replace it with another one, but when he saw the strange smile on Li Yuanba's face, he said in his heart:

"Uncle Four Emperors isn't cheating on me, is he? Maybe the things in this box are the most precious one, and Uncle Sihuang just used this method to want me to put it down! Well, it must be like that! ~”

Thinking of this, Li Ke nodded fiercely and said, "Fourth Emperor Uncle, I won't change it, I want this!" ”

Li Yuanba shrugged helplessly, and said, "Come on, anyway, I've already reminded you, if you are willing to choose it, that's it!" Let's open it and take a look! ”

"Hehe, I'm not going to be fooled!" Li Ke smiled in his heart and twisted the lid of the small wooden box.

But the moment he opened the box, the smile on his face was completely stopped.

Because of what? Because the contents of this box are of no use to him, and he doesn't even know what this thing is!

I saw that there was a dazzling purple in the box, and under the dim sunlight, it was like the eyes of a lover in the night, exuding a strange brilliance, and the light could be seen.

At this moment, the eyes of all the women in the audience were attracted by this small thing that was only the size of an egg yolk, and they were reluctant to take their eyes away.

"What is this? Gemstones? The colors are gorgeous! ”

Li Ke said that he was very disappointed, this thing is used to make jewelry at first glance, he is a big man, and these objects are not rare.

Li Yuanba's daughters all showed curious looks, and said: "This thing is called jadeite, it can be regarded as a kind of gemstone, but it is produced in the Shan country (the old name of Myanmar in ancient times), I heard that there are some in the Japanese country, but the amount is not as large as the Shan country, and the quantity is good." ”

Jadeite only began to appear and spread in the Song Dynasty, and it was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty that jadeite began to spread in a big way, and its value was rising, some of the best, top jadeite, and even far more than the price of gold.

As for the Tang Dynasty, jadeite was not a well-known thing.

"Emerald, isn't that a bird?" Li Ke had heard of this name, frowned and said: "It is said that there is a bird in the southwest, this kind of bird, the coat color is very beautiful, and there are blue, green, red, and brown...... and other colors. And the most peculiar thing is that the males of this bird are all red, called 'Fei', and the females are green, called 'Cui'. ”

"Not bad!" Li Yuan said domineeringly, "It is precisely because of the different colors of this jadeite, and the color is similar to the jade bird, that this gemstone is called jadeite!" ”

"Then to put it mildly, this thing is still a jewelry gem?" Li Ke said disappointedly: "Where is this thing precious?" It's an ornamental at best! ”

"You don't want it, send me!" Princess Gaoyang had long coveted this purple jadeite, and seeing Li Ke's reluctance, she took two steps forward, grabbed it in her hand, and couldn't put it down.

Li Ke wanted to cry without tears, this stinky girl was so fast, almost before he could react, the thing had already changed hands.

"Saint to!"

Just when Li Ke still wanted to reason with Princess Gao Yang, Liu Sanshui's unique high-pitched voice appeared.

"Qiang Qiang ......"

The sound of a team of armor crashing sounded, but it was an old acquaintance Li Changgeng who led a team of black-armored guards and took the lead in marching in.

"Hahaha, fourth brother, you are really back, I haven't seen you for nearly two months, I really want to kill you!"

Li Shimin, who was dressed in a bright yellow suit, walked in with a tiger.

Li Yuanba led a large group of people to hurriedly step forward to salute and said, "Brother Li Yuanba has seen His Majesty!" ”

"Concubine...... Slave ......"

Then there was a group of people, Wuyang Wuyang bowed and saluted, and sang a promise loudly.

"Hurry up! It's all free of courtesy" Li Shimin stretched out his hand to help Li Yuanba and said: "I haven't seen you these days, but the fourth brother has lost a lot, it's really hard for you!" (To be continued......)
