Xu Xi was very envious of Mingjing. Her age has dragged on a long time, and even if she returns to the capital soon, it will be a little late.
Xu Mu said: "General Ling, that's rare, even if you are so young and promising in the capital, it's rare." The Manchu Dynasty is only comparable to a general-born Meng commander. Not to mention that he is still helpless, and he has climbed to such a high position by working his own. It's a pity that you don't have the blessing of Mrs. Ling! There is a good piece of jade in the mother's dowry, which has been handed down from the ancestors. If it weren't for the mother's family, it wouldn't have fallen into the hands of the mother. Ming'er sent it to Mrs. Ling. "There's nothing more than that.
Xu Xi was puzzled, "Mother, why do you want to send jade?" If you really want to send it, you should polish it into a goddess of mercy and then ask the monk to open the light, and then send it. This also seems to be more sincere.
Mother Xu shook her head, "The news that Mrs. Ling is pregnant has not been announced, and she told you that she did not treat you as an outsider after three months." But we are not good at calling the world for others; Second, take it to carve, polish, and then send it to the temple to be consecrated, we don't have so much time. The most important thing is that if someone moves someone on the way and it is broken, let Mrs. Ling get it herself. ”
The mother and daughter immediately put a whole piece of transparent white jade about a foot high into the box, and Mother Xu reluctantly closed the lid after looking at it for a long time. Xu's father was full of guilt.
Mingjing didn't want to accept it, such a large piece of white jade, even if it was just an uncarved jade, was worth at least more than a thousand taels. If it is well carved and the meaning is ingenious, it will not be a problem to sell it for three thousand taels. That's a generous gift.
Xu Mu said: "I couldn't find a skilled craftsman for a while, so I could only send a rough stone." Mrs. Ling should not be disgusted. ”
It's hard to refuse, "Since that's the case, I'll take the good of others." I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to be there for Lord Xu's farewell banquet, so I'll see you in the capital. ”
After sending the mother and daughter away, Liu Chang's eyes were a little shiny and said: "It is very rare to take a whole piece of white jade and carve it into Guanyin, and then it will be opened by a high monk." The general also let it go, but unfortunately there is not such a suitable jade on the market. Some good ones have been collected, and few people are willing to give them away. ”
Mingjing looked at him with a solemn face, and it was not easy to say what he didn't believe. The child's gender has long been predestined, what's the use of worshipping and worshipping? Besides, someone really wants his son crazy. I don't think about it, and now the family background is already very thin.
"That's the essence of the family. The side branch of the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion was able to take out such a large piece of whole jade. "Although Brother Ling is now a marquis, in the eyes of those families who have inherited more than a hundred years, he is probably a nouveau riche. Speaking of which, their family really has nothing but the objects of royal reward. There is no enshrinement dedicated to mothers-in-law who serve pregnant women, mothers and babies, and it is difficult to find a piece of whole jade for a while. After all, there is still a limit to what can be found in the storeroom.
"My subordinates are looking for skilled craftsmen. However, this jade should not be the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion, it belongs to Mrs. Xu's mother's family. Mrs. Xu's mother's family is out of the house, so the good things fell into her hands. ”
Mingjing thought for a moment, "I don't plan to move this piece of jade. However, you can also look for the craftsman. ”
Liu Chang paused for a moment, and then said, "Madame wants to fish?" ”
"Well, give it a try. Don't say that you want to carve and send Guanyin, just find it first. Let's see what ghosts, snakes, and gods can be found. ”
