Chapter Seventy-One: Stones
Be careful. ”
Shi Ze grabbed Gu Jiayao's arm beside him.
She nearly tripped over the upturned deck and lost control and plunged headlong into the sea.
"Senior sister, slow down, the deck is uneven, and the boat is still on the water, swaying with the waves."
As he spoke, a big wave came and the broken boat shook even more.
Gu Jiayao's body shook, dizzy, Shi Ze took her hand and brought it to his side.
Her limp body leaned against Shi Ze,
"I'm seasick?!"
Gu Jiayao whispered incredibly, faintly feeling nauseous.
Shi Ze was worried about helping her, so he took out a paper bag from his arms with one hand, opened it and took a pickled plum and put it to Gu Jiayao's lips, "It will be better if you eat it." ”
"Hmm."
Gu Jiayao said in her heart that it was useless, but she couldn't bear to live up to Shi Ze's kindness.
She took the plum in her mouth, and the sweet and sour was a little more relaxed.
"How can you prepare plums?"
"I'm afraid of seasickness, and the average lady has seasickness."
Shi Ze put the paper bag in Gu Jiayao's hand, "I used to be seasick, but when I got on the ship to carry goods, I heard from experienced people that eating plums can relieve nausea." ”
"So you secretly took plums from the old mansion?"
Gu Jiayao added two more to her mouth, and said with a smile: "Grandmother knows that she is going to talk about it again, and the plums in the old house are all for my father to eat." ”
Gu Xi loves green plum boiled wine, so every year the old lady will press a jar of plums with her own hands.
And the old lady was so partial that she didn't give anyone food, even the eldest grandson Gu An was no exception.
Shi Ze straightened Gu Yao, his ears were slightly hot, "I prepared it for my master, but I just used it for my junior sister first." ”
"Well, that's a good excuse."
Gu Jiayao winked playfully, "Senior brother has also learned a lot more cleverly." ”
It's not that honest boy anymore.
On the shore, Miss Zhao, dressed in men's clothes, had a touch of irritability on her face.
For some reason, she always couldn't help but look at the girl on the ship, and the people around the girl.
From a distance, she couldn't see the specific appearance of the girl clearly, but she also felt that she was a rare beauty.
When Gu Jiayao lamented that Miss Zhao was a strong woman, she didn't know that Miss Zhao was also staring at her.
Seeing that the young man beside Gu Jiayao handed it to Meizi, he was full of pity.
Miss Zhao had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
"I have to think about this business again, and in two days, I will give Boss Liu another news."
Miss Zhao interrupted the chatter of the bosses around her and returned to the sedan chair with a cold face.
"Isn't Miss hot? The slave maid served you sour plum soup to relieve the heat? ”
"No, you don't."
Miss Zhao picked up the ledger and looked through it, calculating the harvest this time.
"Miss is working too hard, you can take a break."
"I can't live up to the trust of the prince."
Miss Zhao's eyes never left the account book, but a smile appeared on her lips, "The prince is not short of silver, but maritime trade is a golden mountain, which can make the prince's position more stable, and the prince will act most indispensably in the future." ”
"Miss......" The maidservant said softly: "You work hard, the prince can't see it, you don't know the prince's temper?" ”
"I am different from others, I can only serve the prince on the bed, but I can be his right-hand man and help him. In the future, the weight of my heart in the prince will naturally be different. ”
Miss Zhao's eyes flashed in front of her eyes again, and King Rui's incomparable face flashed again, and one day King Rui would cherish himself like a young man on a broken ship and cherished a girl.
At that time, King Rui's pity must be more touching than that of the nameless boy.
When Gu Jiayao got used to the shaking of the broken boat, the plums had already been eaten by her as a snack.
Shi Ze smiled on his lips, she liked plums, and he would pickle more plums for her to eat in the future.
He loved to see her carefree.
Even though there was no money at home, the ship that he had hoped for did not bring anything back.
I can't see any negative emotions such as loss in Gu Jiayao.
She was as happy as a bag of plums.
Where would Shi Ze understand that Gu Jiayao was originally a little rich and peaceful.
She has been spoiled by her parents since she was a child, except for a bad marriage and a blind date to meet the best man, she has never felt that she has lacked anything.
No ambition, no big desire.
And isn't there a father and mother?
Gu Jiayao naturally didn't care if the sea ship brought the goods.
"Diamonds? It's been sent, it's been sent. ”
With a click, the plum in Gu Jiayao's hand fell to the ground, and she threw herself directly next to the open box, carefully picking up a finished diamond that had been cut and polished.
"Senior brother, look at how beautiful this diamond is."
Gu Jiayao raised the diamond high in front of the sun, "The cutting level is also very good, pigeon eggs." ”
If this diamond is sold, it will be worth tens of millions.
And such a diamond is not one, but a box, and of course some rough stones that have not been cut and polished.
It's so beautiful.
As long as you are a woman, it is impossible to resist the charm of diamonds.
Gu Jiayao imagined that when she went out with pigeon eggs, how many people would be envious and jealous.
"This is a diamond, junior sister, this game shouldn't be worth much."
“……”
Gu Jiayao woke up from her fantasy, her dark eyes staring at Shi Ze, "What to say?" ”
Shi Ze's heart tightened inexplicably, his throat was dry, and he said hoarsely and cautiously: "This seems to be a diamond, no...... Not...... Valuable, similar to glass, generally can't be sold, and the rough stone can't be sold. ”
"Actually, these are just a few stones to look at."
Although he can't bear to hit his junior sister, Shi Ze still has to tell the truth, right?
Save the younger sister from being ridiculed with a stone?
Gu Jiayao's face seemed to be cracked, and after disbelief, she slowly came back to her senses and became even more depressed.
Before the Ming Dynasty, it was obviously a gold mountain, but at this time it was recognized as a worthless stone.
A treasure that only she knows about herself, it's too painful.
Gu Jiayao squatted beside the box, hanging her head pitifully.
Shi Ze couldn't bear it, he also squatted down, just wanted to comfort Gu Jiayao, and heard her mutter, "How can you get married without a diamond ring?" This is a pigeon's egg! ”
Do you have to use diamonds to get married?
Shi Ze firmly remembered the unique hobby of the little junior sister in his heart.
"Stones, indeed stones, are stones that can be accepted and recognized......"
Gu Jiayao's eyes suddenly brightened, "Isn't it a diamond?" ”
"I'm afraid it's hard to do, jade, jade, gold and silver are valuable."
Shi Ze's voice was very soft, Gu Jiayao glared angrily, and he changed his words: "Little junior sister thinks it's valuable, it's not a stone, it's valuable!" ”
Gu Jiayao shook her head helplessly, "It's senior brother or tell the truth, it's useless to deceive yourself." ”
"Yaoyao, this is ......"
Jiang Shi was dejected when he saw Gu Jiayao, who was still very lively, as if he had suffered endless pain.
Gu Jiayao took out the pigeon egg diamond, "Stone, senior brother said this is a stone." ”
