Chapter 94: Visiting the Imperial Garden (6)

Qiu Yu has long heard that jade is very scarce, I heard that the place where jade is produced is in the plateau area, where there is a perennial lack of oxygen, ordinary people can not adapt to it at all, only local people, only the local people, have a unique natural advantage, adapt to the hypoxic climate there.

He first heard that there was a river, and these jade were produced in the river, and the local people, when the weather was good, would go barefoot to the river to collect jade, which was a special skill of the locals, as long as their toes touched the jade, they would perceive it.

There are good and bad jade, after the jade is opened, if the color is consistent, there are no impurities for the top grade, the color of jade is red is expensive, yellow is second, and mutton fat white is second.

Later, the jade in the river was mined less and less, and people began to dig in the river in order to get more wealth, and then as the price of jade became more and more expensive, they could not dig it.

Then, someone found jade in the mountain, and then people began to dig holes in the root of the mountain, digging jade, and the difficulty of quarrying jade has also increased.

These jade quarryers, if they are lucky, they can dig some, and if they are unlucky, not only can't they dig it, but in the cave, their lives are in danger.

They dug up the larger jade, made jade seals, made dishes, smaller jade pendants, pieces, and smaller pieces into bracelets.

These jades, warm, concise, generous, look so eye-catching, green like onions, yellow like ginger, white like snow, black like ink, Qiu Yu looked at the jade utensils on this table carefully, he thought to himself, "How many jade does it take to find so much, so clean, without impurities, this royal luxury is even more exaggerated than I imagined." ”

Princess Jiahui saw that everyone didn't say a word, and they were all drooling and staring at the food on the table, she laughed out loud and looked at them gently, "Don't be restrained, we will be friends in the future, everyone can relax and enjoy these delicacies freely." ”

Saying that, Princess Jiahui also turned her head slightly to look at Han Bo, with a light of admiration in her eyes, Han Bo also felt that the princess was looking at him, so he also looked at Princess Jiahui, at this time, Princess Jiahui's face suddenly turned red, and she turned back to look at other places in embarrassment.

Lin Hongwan and the others woke up from shock when they looked at the food in front of them, and they all smiled embarrassedly, "Oh, yes, what the princess said, then princess, you should move the chopsticks first." ”

Princess Jiahui smiled softly at a few people, she held the cuff of her right hand with her left hand, picked up the chopsticks made of ivory with her right hand, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs placed in front of her, gently put it in her mouth, and picked up a pure silk handkerchief with her left hand to cover her mouth, and chewed slowly.

Several people watched Princess Jiahui eat, and also learned to eat, Qiu Yu was very depressed when he saw eating like this, he thought to himself, "How long will you eat like this, it will take a long time to eat like this." ”

Lin Hongwan and Sun Yueling also feel that they are not used to eating like this, they eat at home by themselves, but they are much more free than here, they can eat whatever they want, and they can eat as much as they want, and now they see Princess Jiahui eating like this, and several people can only follow and slowly adapt.

Princess Jiahui saw that these people would be very unaccustomed to eating like this, she smiled kindly, "Come on, come on, eat together, you're welcome, we're all friends, you don't have to be so restrained, you can eat how you want to eat at home, you don't need to learn from me." ”

After hearing this, several people glanced at each other, covered their mouths with their hands and couldn't help snickering, it was the first time they were so tired from eating, Princess Jiahui also secretly looked at Han Bo while eating from time to time, the more she looked at Han Bo, the more beautiful her heart became, and she laughed inexplicably from time to time.

Half an hour later, after a few people finished eating, Princess Jiahui took a few of them around again, and then walked back, and when they walked to the Qianqing Palace, Princess Jiahui instructed the palace maid to take out the gifts she had prepared for Qiu Yu and them.

After hearing this, the palace maid nodded and left, and after a while, the little palace maid dragged a box of golden silk nanmu and came to Princess Jiahui, she handed the box to Princess Jiahui, and after Princess Jiahui took the box, she gently opened the box and took out three jade pendants and two golden hairpins in the box.

She gave the three jade pendants to Qiu Yu, Han Bo and Chen Hongsheng, and gave the two golden hairpins to Lin Hongwan and Sun Yueling.

Qiu Yu, Han Bo, and Chen Hongsheng are not people who have never seen the world, but this is the first time they have seen this kind of jade, the green is profound, the green is extraordinary, and people can't put it down.

Chen Hongsheng is very curious about this jade pendant, at home, his father also likes jade, and there are not a few family collections, but this kind of jade has never been seen, so he looked at Princess Jiahui suspiciously, and stroked the jade in his hand as he spoke, "Princess Jiahui, I want to ask, what kind of jade is this, so beautiful, I don't seem to have seen it before." ”

"This kind of stone is also a kind of jade, it is called jade, listen to my father said, once upon a time there was a kind of bird, the male bird is called the jade, the whole body feathers are golden and hungry, very beautiful, the female bird is called the kingfisher, the whole body is green, everyone likes these two kinds of birds, and then people found this kind of jade in the mountains, some jade has yellow and green two colors, everyone slowly called this stone jade. ”

Princess Jiahui smiled and explained to Chen Hongsheng the origin of this jade, and she continued to talk about it with relish.

"I also heard my father say that the production of this kind of stone is very small, most of it is cracked, so it can't be made into an object, it can be a color, and it looks transparent, it is the best, and the green one is the best among the jadeite. ”

"This jade pendant I gave you, this is a minister, squatting in the jadeite producing area for more than ten years, before getting a good green rough stone, after coming back, it took several years for the craftsmen in the palace to make such a jade pendant.

"There are only more than 100 jade pendants in total, and some harem ladies can't get it, today I have a birthday, my father gave me nine, I treat you as my best friend, I don't have anything more precious to give you, just give you these jade pendants." ”
