Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Rough Stone

In the midst of Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui's surprise, Xuan Turtle yawned and said, "Okay, my old man still has something to do, and he wants to return to the Jade Plate World." Take your time. ”

After speaking, the Xuan Turtle returned to the jade plate, and Xiao Rui handed the jade plate to Qin Mingyue. Qin Mingyue was busy collecting it. The two of them admired the loot they had gotten out of the mirage's cavern.

The loot is really rich.

Qin Mingyue was also very interested for a while: "This is a pearl?" And so many more, in this big mussel shell. Sorted, but it's worth a lot. ”

Xiao Rui said: "These pearls look better than those paid tribute in the palace in previous years, I really didn't expect that this province also produces pearls?" ”

Qin Mingyue said: "It's not necessarily the pearl of Ba Province, this mirage, as a fierce beast in the world, can travel to many places before." In particular, they have been in the sea for a long time, that is, they have only reached the land in the last one or two hundred years, and they have only followed the river to Ba Province in the last ten years. That's what Gentome-sama told me just now. Therefore, these pearls are not freshwater pearls, but sea pearls. And, look, this color, there is pink, and there is purple, and black. The largest one is as big as a bird's egg, which is also rare. ”

Xiao Rui said: "If you look at this pearl moon, I will take it back and ask my master to make jewelry for you." You say, do you like to make hairpins, step shakers, or necklaces? Ring? Bracelet? ”

Qin Mingyue said: "Well, a pearl as big as this is the best to make a hairpin." These dozen or so are the size of lotus seeds, and the pink ones can be made into beaded flowers and worn. You can't give it all to me. I think this purple pearl is extraordinarily luxurious, and it can be made into sideburns for Concubine Li's mother. ”

"Heck, there's crystals, and emeralds, rubies, and sapphires. Such a big one, unfortunately, is all raw ore, if you want to polish it, but it will take a lot of effort. ”

Xiao Rui said: "This must be the minerals in the water, which were obtained by Shen'er and looted." Mingyue, don't worry, the craftsmen in my brocade building are the best at getting these pearls, gems, crystals and the like. I'm sure I'll get you some beautiful pieces of jewelry. And, of course, give my mother some beautiful ones. It can be regarded as a piece of filial piety for me. ”

Qin Mingyue thought about it, the craftsmen who decorated the brocade building were indeed the ones who were the best at making these jewelry. It's cheap to hand it over to them, but fortunately, they are all their own people, and they don't need to explain their origins.

Qin Mingyue continued to look at Xiao Rui and said, "These pearls have five or six mussel shells. This mussel shell is the size of a bucket, and I can't count how many pearls there are. Even if it is strung into a pearl curtain, I am afraid that I will not need so much. It's just that Concubine Li and I can't use up the jewelry. There are also crystals, corals, tortoiseshells, gemstones of various colors, and precious jade, all of which are rough stones, all of which need to be polished and carved. It's all made, the two of us, plus the emperor and the mother in the palace, can't use it up, even if they give it away, there are also a few. There must be a lot left. ”

"You take the rest to the people in the Jinlou, let them process it well, and let's choose some for our own use first. The rest can be sold in your shop, and you will get a lot of silver. ”

Xiao Rui understood: "I understand, for the rest, I will let people put the silver sold directly into your Taoism." ”

Qin Mingyue suddenly smiled: "Then I have to thank you for Daomen." ”

Xiao Rui said: "As long as you are happy, you can do it." Besides, I'm just contributing some manpower, these things, rough stones, pearls are valuable, these are all collected by Shen'er in your jade plate. It is best used in Taoism. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded and said, "This makes sense, and it can be regarded as redeeming some of Shen'er's sins." ”

Then the two of them continued to rummage through it, in addition to these pearls and treasures, there were also some excellent weapons, which should have been left by the martial arts masters who were killed by the mirage. These things, where are they in the eyes of Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui.

Qin Mingyue said: "These things, you just look at them." In order not to let people know, the two of us got the mirage's treasure and captured the mirage alive, so it's better to dispose of all these things cleanly. ”

Xiao Rui said: "This is from our province. You put it down, I have someone under me who specializes in this. ”

Qin Mingyue glanced at Xiao Rui. Then continue to look at these treasures, not to mention, there are really things that Qin Mingyue likes: "This is good, this is a sea willow tree, or a five-hundred-year-old sea willow tree, it is rare to use it to refine pills." These things in the sea have always been hard to find, and the medicinal materials in the deep mountains are easy to get, but the things in this vast sea are not easy to find. ”

"There is also this sea treasure sunflower, which is also a thousand-year-old medicine, which is very rare."

Then, Qin Mingyue rummaged through this pile of things and found more than a dozen precious medicinal herbs of the previous year. Qin Mingyue carefully collected it and said, "I want all these things." ”

Xiao Rui said: "These things are useless to me. Take it all. ”

Qin Mingyue's eyes flickered, and the colored light flowed: "I'll take it, it's more useful to you." There are several medicinal materials in it, all of which are hard to find, and they are good materials for refining and improving martial arts elixirs. When I go back and brew it, I will add some other medicinal materials to refine the elixir, so that I can use it to improve the strength of your subordinates. ”

Xiao Rui had long been fascinated by Qin Mingyue's eyes: "This is good. It's just that you don't have to work too hard. Alchemy is good at any time, and you've had a lot of things to do lately, so don't worry about it. ”

In the face of such concern, Qin Mingyue was of course sweet in her heart.

The two men then continued to examine them. Not to mention, these things are really worth a lot, in the end, Xiao Rui and the two sorted out these things in different categories, Xiao Rui roughly calculated and said: "Just these treasures, after being made into jewelry, even if we pick more than half of them, and the remaining one-third, they can be sold for about 100,000 taels of silver." It's really a big treasure. We didn't work hard in vain. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "Such a treasure, in fact, I don't want it." Although Shen'er is our person now, I feel uncomfortable when I think of the person she eats. If there is a chance in the future, let her atone for her sins and do a good job for the people. ”

Xiao Rui said: "I know that you are the person who cares about the people the most. Okay, let's not talk about the previous things. Now, Shen'er is already a member of the Daomen, and he is wearing Lord Xuangui, which is making meritorious contributions to the Daomen and doing things for the people. At least, because of our efforts, Shen'er has left the eye of the water, and there are no more harmful beasts there. That's a good thing. ”

Qin Mingyue was relieved when she thought about it.
