() In the end, Xu's is a beautiful lady born in Zhongming Dingshi, nourished by more than ten years of splendid prosperity, those insights and visions have long been inadvertently engraved in the bones, hidden in the blood, and will not be wiped out because of being a peasant woman for more than ten years.

With the crisp sound of jade collision, Xu's palm held a semicircular red jade of the size of an egg, only to see that it was pure in color, bright and warm, carved with a branch of three double-petaled pomegranate flowers carved on it, surrounded by five bats, three flowers from shy buds to wanton blooming, different postures, vivid, jade side edge a little white, this is an inevitable flaw, but the jade carver ingenuity conceived, carved here a blooming pomegranate flower, Let those white inlaid on the edge of the layers of petals, adding a sense of agility and making it more delicate and moving.

"Madame, what a visionary." When the shopkeeper saw Xu's selection of this one, he was a little stunned for a while.

This jade is called Chiqiong, in the entire Dashun Dynasty only a small amount of production in the deep mountains of Liangzhou, more than ten years ago it was still common, but now it is difficult to find, he is still a piece of material at the beginning of the year, his father played for half a year to come up with this carving method, and now he was picked out by the plainly dressed woman in front of him, how can he not be surprised.

"It's good to have a bead chain." Xu Shi held the jade on Du Mei's chest and gestured, and whispered.

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper was busy calling his men and took out a tray with large and small bead chains on the counter.

"These are either big, small, or the colors don't match." Xu Shi picked a few to try and said with some disappointment.

"This ......" The shopkeeper's forehead has begun to sweat, what is the origin of this woman, it is obviously not easy to fool.

"Nothing else?" Zhong Yu looked up at the shopkeeper.

"I wonder what Madame wants?" The shopkeeper asked.

"There is always some scrap material in this jade, you probably grind it into beads. In addition, I want Mo Qiong's matching beads, I wonder if you have one here? Xu asked kindly.

"Take me a little bit, I'll go to the backfield to look for you." The shopkeeper said, and turned to the back hall.

"Mother, this is too expensive!" Du Mei whispered that she had seen a stone sold for a stone in Luomei Xuan at a sky-high price, although she didn't understand it, but looking at the shopkeeper's expression, she knew that this piece of jade was not cheap.

"Your mother chose it for me, since you want to buy it, you have to buy the best, if you wear those that are all over the street, wouldn't my uncle be too shameless!" Zhong Yu raised his eyebrows and said.

Hearing him say so domineeringly, Du Mei had no choice but to sit down, pick up the piece of jade and take a closer look, in the end, she didn't understand, but the more she looked at it, the happier she became.

"Miss, look, the shopkeeper Meng of Qibao Zhai is really amazing, this piece of Chiqiong has been carved out!" A shrill middle-aged female voice exploded above Du Mei's head.

Du Mei turned around a little unhappily, only to see a skinny middle-aged servant woman in front of her, pointing to the jade in her hand, talking to a Qingyan woman wearing a lake-blue flowing fairy dress.

"Mama Cha, be quiet." The woman was a little embarrassed by Du Mei, and said angrily.

"Show us Miss!" Caught off guard, Cha Pozi snatched the jade from Du Mei's hand.

"Huh! How can you do that! Du Mei stood up in surprise.

"Do you know what this is? Can you afford it? Cha Pozi stared at the triangular eyes, looked Du Mei up and down, and said with disdain.

"There's got to be a first-come-first-served person!" Du Mei laughed angrily.

"Humph! For you

This kind of person who can't afford it still wants to talk to Yanwangfu about coming first and coming later! Cha Pozi rolled her eyes and snorted.

She didn't say anything about Yan Wangfu, and when she heard it in Du Mei's ears at this time, her heart sank instantly, she had seen it, and the elegant and beautiful woman in front of her was Mrs. Su Muyun Su.

Seeing that Du Mei's face had changed color, Xu Shi hurriedly stood up and protected her behind him.

Zhong Yuben was disgusted with this mother-in-law, and when he heard her say that it was from Yanwangfu, he was even more angry, he stood up and slapped the table angrily: "Is Yanwangfu amazing?" It's a bully! ”

"Mama Cha!" Su Muyun twisted her eyebrows and screamed dissatisfiedly.

"Miss, you have long been optimistic about this piece of jade, and now you finally see the finished product, if they buy it, what do you wear on the prince's birthday!" Zha Pozi stomped her foot, she didn't like her young lady's soft temperament the most, she was bullied by these countrymen at this time, and she had to endure it.

"You return it to others quickly, I have so many jewelry, I don't care about this one, don't ruin the reputation of the prince in vain!" Su Muyun looked at Zhong Yu's dark face, extremely embarrassed.

"I'm going to wait for Shopkeeper Meng to come out and ask him, why do we want to sell it to them when we like it first!" Cha Pozi couldn't bear this breath, and held the jade and didn't let go.

Mrs. Cha is Su Muyun's mother's dowry girl, and she has always been majestic, and she can't do anything about her as a young lady for a while, so she has to watch dryly.

"You old woman is so funny, you dare to go past your master, let me ask, in the palace of King Yan, are you the master, or is she the master?" Du Gui walked over and said with a grin.

The noise here had already startled a few girls who were eating sweets on the side, they listened to the name of Yanwangfu, and when they saw Du Mei standing there with a bad face, they were all angry for their sister.

Du Gui not only said that she was old, but also ridiculed her for not understanding the rules, she was so angry that she raised her foot and was about to kick the little girl in front of her.

"Snap" A short whip sprang out like a spirit snake and smashed at the feet of Cha Pozi, "You move and try!" "Xiao Qi burst into drinks.

This soft whip is Zhao Ji'an's apprenticeship to Xiao Qi, it is made of the skin of a giant python, and the outside is brushed with snake oil, which is extremely flexible.

"In broad daylight, you are neither a man nor a woman, you have no royal law, you dare to be rude!" Zha Pozi was so frightened that she retreated again and again, and was frightened for a while, trembling her hands, pointing at Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi's voice was bad and she spoke heavily, but she was a girl, where could someone scold her like this, she was so angry that she threw another whip at the door of the mother-in-law.

"Xiao Qi, no!" Du Mei stopped it, but unfortunately it was too late.

"Help!" Cha Pozi was so frightened that her face was like dirt and she screamed.

She didn't expect this barbaric girl to dare to do it after hearing that she was from Yanwangfu, and she did it more than once!

Just when Cha Pozi's face was about to break down, a thin old man suddenly flashed out of the back hall, and his shadow moved, grabbing Xiao Qi's whip.

"I have a small place in this store, and I ask the girl to calm her anger." The old man smiled and returned the whip to Xiao Qi.

"Old man Meng, we have come to see this piece of jade several times, and you always say that it is not carved well, this time, what do you mean by selling two goods!" Cha Pozi recovered from the panic of Shicai, grabbed the old man, and spat and blamed.

"Mama Cha's words are wrong, this Wufu red pomegranate has not been done well before, besides, the jade has not been carved successfully, how dare I say that it should be sold to you, so, how can I say that the goods are sold to two families." The old Meng shopkeeper said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Lao Meng's shopkeeper, and this gentleman, I'm really sorry, it's all because my majesty is not strict, how offended!" Su Muyun's face was blue and white, but she could find out if Mama was her person, so she had to step forward to speak.

"It's good to know, you should discipline you well when you go back, don't lose the face of your father and husband!" Zhong Yu turned his head and didn't look at her at all.

"Mrs. Su, jade meets someone who is destined, no matter morning or evening, meet each other, rejoice with each other, this opportunity comes naturally. I thank you for your appreciation when you first met its fluffiness, but now it is reborn and willing to go with this girl, which is the result of each other's spiritual attraction, and you and I cannot force it. The shopkeeper of Lao Meng looked calm and said in a low voice.

"Mr. Xie pointed out, Mu Yun has no chance with it." Su Muyun folded his hands and bowed, and he didn't call him Cha Pozi, he turned around and left.

"Miss......" Zha Pozi was embarrassed, and when she saw Su Muyun leaving, she panicked for a while, so she had to put down the jade and trot out.

"It's all the little old man's poor hospitality, which frightened the lady and the young lady." Lao Meng's shopkeeper made no compensation, and then raised his voice and said to the guy behind him, "Don't go prepare tea and snacks yet!" ”

After a while, the guy brought four kinds of snacks and freshly brewed tea.

"Madame, do you think these beads are to your liking?" The shopkeeper of Lao Meng waved his hand, and another guy brought a large white porcelain bowl.

I saw that in the bowl were Mo Qiong, which was as big as a soybean, and occasionally there were a few red ones, Xu Shi saw this and nodded silently.

"In that case, I'll put it on for you right away, and this bead chain will use one hundred and eight beads, so you might as well pick it out yourself." The shopkeeper of Lao Meng took out a piece of white flannel cloth from the counter and grabbed Mo Qiong out of the bowl.

"Thank you so much." Xu handed Xiao Song to Du Mei and got up to help pick the beads.

Jade is round, transparent, delicate, Moqiong is black, especially easy to mix with white fine lines, to find the same pure black in a large bowl, it is really a test to people.

Xu put five or six beads in the palm of his left hand, pressed them with the fingers of his right hand, and gently rotated, and soon picked out the best ones.

"Madame is from which house in Beijing?" The shopkeeper of Lao Meng looked at Xu's family, and felt more and more familiar, and couldn't help asking.

"I'm just a peasant woman in the countryside, and in our place, picking soybeans is like this." When Xu Shi saw him ask like this, he knew that he was suspicious, and hurriedly prevaricated.

"Huh? Oh. Although the shopkeeper Meng was puzzled, it could be seen that she was wearing ordinary clothes, and there was no jewelry on her head, so she didn't ask anymore.

Although the shopkeeper of Lao Meng is old, his eyes and hands are not slow, and he quickly put on the bead chain with five red qiongs, and tied the jade plate to it.

"Meizi, let's try." Hui beckoned.

Du Mei is wearing a lotus blue skirt today, with a touch of red on her chest, which is very bright and bright, like a blooming red lotus in the lotus pond.

"This is good, or my sister's vision is unique!" Zhong Yu looked at Du Mei and nodded again and again.

A few small ones also cast amazing glances, Xiao Song hugged Du Mei's legs, and said in a milky voice: "Sister is so good-looking!" It made everyone laugh.

"How much?" Zhong Yu turned his head and asked boldly.

"It's too good for you to be unhappy, I'll also give you a discount, apologize, and only charge you a hundred taels." As the shopkeeper spoke, he stretched out a finger and shook it.

"It's too expensive!" Du Mei couldn't help but take a breath.
