Chapter 266: Emerald Village
"Have you heard, there are a lot of jadeite sellers in the next village, and the price is cheap."
"Really, and such a good thing? Don't be a fake, right? ”
Mu Li was wandering on the street, listening to everyone gather together to talk about the things in the next village, what jade, what fakes, which really made Mu Li curious.
"Auntie, what are you talking about?" Mu Li also went to join in the fun.
"Girl, don't you know that the village next door has recently dug up a lot of jadeite, and it's being sold cheaply. We talked about whether we wanted to buy some and leave something for future generations, but don't you say? ”
For ordinary people, things like jadeite are out of reach, and the families who can buy jadeite are more or less rich. Mu Li has never been very rare for jewelry jadeite, but the price they said is far lower than the market price, which is indeed unexpected by Mu Li.
"Let's go, kite, let's take a look."
Mu Li wanted to see if it was real, or if it was just a fake and sold as the real thing. But in this era, there should be no fakes, at most it is a question of jade purity or impurity. In the era when I didn't want to leave the future, there was often glass sold as jadeite, and the deception was those who were greedy for cheap and ignorant goods.
Qing Kite wanted to go, but she was afraid that the next village would be prone to accidents. "No, I think we'd better go back to the prince's mansion first, I don't seem to be doing well on this day."
"No, let's take a look, and we'll be back." Mu Li pulled the green kite into the carriage and asked the coachman to take it to Yangliu Village next door to find out.
That Yangliu Village should be really lively, it turned out to be just an ordinary village. I can't say how poor I am, I can barely get by, but when I look at it today, this lively scene is no less than the city where Mu Li is located.
"Hey, stop and stop." Mu Li thought about getting out of the carriage and taking a good stroll.
"Princess, I think it's better to forget it, you see those people are dressed strangely, they don't look like good people." Qing Kite was a little worried, if something happened to the princess, Qing Kite's ten heads would not be useful, this did not keep dissuading Mu Li, but Mu Li didn't listen at all.
Mu Li let the carriage wait on the side, and got out of the carriage to hang out with the green kite. The excitement here makes Mu Li very happy, he hasn't gone shopping like this for a long time, and everything he sees is something Mu Li has never seen before, as if he has come to another country.
The people here don't sell green vegetables and turnips, but jadeite. "Oh my God." Mu Li was about to look dazzled, and the jade in her eyes couldn't help but make her a little excited. Although Mu Li doesn't love jewelry and jadeite very much, if he buys it at a low price and sells it at a high price, he doesn't have to make a lot of money, Mu Li has a small calculation in his heart.
It's just that Mu Li really doesn't understand jadeite, how to judge the quality is a problem, if he buys a bunch of defective products, what is the use, and it is not a waste of his silver in vain.
"I said this young lady, do you want to buy it or not, I've been watching it for so long, don't delay my business." The little vendor looked at Mu Li with some annoyance, and Mu Li had been standing in front of the vendor for a long time. Look at this, look at that, just don't buy it.
"What's the hurry, who said I won't buy it?" Mu Li took out the money bag on his waist, "The money is here, I have to see if your goods are good." Mu Li pretended to be very knowledgeable, but in fact, he wanted to deceive the small vendors, so as not to be deceived by the small vendors.
As soon as the vendor saw Mu Li's money bag, his eyes lit up, "Girl, take your time, my goods here are all of the best quality, and there will never be fakes." ”
"Little brother, let me ask you something, where did all these things of yours come from?" Mu Li was very curious, where did so many vendors come from, and the price was so cheap, basically every person could afford to consume it.
The little brother of the small vendor immediately changed his face, "Do you buy it or not, if there are so many, will I still lie to you, you look at so many people who have bought jadeite from me, but some people are not satisfied?" ”
Mu Li smiled awkwardly, and randomly selected a few pieces of jade that fit his eyes on the small vendor and bought them. Mu Li couldn't understand it, where did these jadeites come from, and how could they be so cheap.
The jadeites that Mu Li bought were taken to the prince's mansion and asked Chu Lingyi to help identify them, "How is it, how is the fineness?" ”
Chu Lingyi took a closer look, although these pieces of jade were not the best, they were still very large. "Medium color, where did the princess get so much jade?"
Chu Lingyi had never seen Mu Li interested in jewelry on weekdays, how could he buy so many of them back today, I am afraid that he spent a lot of silver, and he didn't want Mu Li's style at all.
Mu Li told about her buying jadeite, and Chu Lingyi was taken aback. Jadeite and these things are controlled by the imperial court, how can it be possible to buy so much jadeite outside at will, this is obviously problematic.
"Really, I didn't lie to you, you can ask the green kite, she also went."
Qing Kite nodded, "Yes, Lord Wang, it's really like this." There are a lot of people who buy it, and most of them are ordinary people. There are so many varieties of jadeite that you can't even see them. "The green kite wanted to buy a little bit to hide, but he didn't bring a purse at that time.
Chu Lingyi suddenly remembered that there was an excerpt before that he had lost a batch of jade rough stones, and he had not been left behind. Chu Lingyi wondered if it would be this batch of jadeite rough stones that had been carved into various styles of patterns, and then used the hands of the people to clean them. As a result, the imperial court can't find it if it wants to.
But this batch of jadeite rough stones has only been lost for a short time, and it is impossible to complete the carving of this batch of rough stones in such a short time, unless they have planned it for a long time.
Chu Lingyi decided to investigate secretly, so he asked Mu Li to lead the way.
"Have you arrived?" Chu Lingyi was a little anxious, and said that he would be in the next village, but he had been going around in the same place. After doing it for a long time, Mu Li got lost, so he kept going back and forth.
"Don't worry, it's coming."
It was easy to arrive at Yangliu Village, but the scene in front of him made Mu Li speechless. There was no one on the street, and all the doors and windows were closed, which was completely different from when Mu Li came before, like a dead village.
"This ......" Mu Li didn't know how to explain to Chu Lingyi, the streets he saw that day were full of people, and everyone was buying and selling jadeite, it was very lively, but today......
"The princess can't be mistaken, right?" For Mu Li, Chu Lingyi was deeply suspicious. Since the jadeite trading scene is so deserted.
"Believe me, it's true, otherwise where did my jadeite come from, I really bought it here." Mu Li pointed to the place where she was buying jadeite before, she clearly remembered where it was, and she also said a lot to the stall owner, Mu Li wondered why everyone was gone.
