Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

The snow outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, and Pan'er shivered from the cold, and without saying anything to Doctor Ge, she went back to the house directly, thinking about how to make more money.

Luan Yu brought the honey tea over, slightly hot, blew the hot air floating on the tea bowl, Pan'er took a sip absentmindedly, and saw that Luan Yu was wearing a pendant on the earlobe, which seemed to be made of gold essence, with a little gold in the royal blue, and the beads were round, but the color and appearance were not too good, and a trace of cracks could be faintly seen, and there were some less obvious white spots.

Feeling Pan'er's gaze, Luan Yu walked behind the woman, raised her hand and gently rubbed her shoulder, and whispered:

"The slave's earrings were brought back by the eldest brother, he went into the city yesterday, and met a merchant from Tocharo, who heard that our great business was rich and prosperous, so he brought a bunch of gold essence, but unfortunately the gold concentrate he mined was not very good, even if he mined out more than a dozen carts of gold essence, the texture of the rough stone was not excellent, and he could only take it to make some small objects such as pendants, and he could not grind them for painting, otherwise he would definitely be able to sell a large sum of silver, and the master carvers in their caravan were not the best, and they were all ground into round beads. There are no other tricks, so it's strange that business can improve like this. ”

A trace of excitement crossed her apricot eyes, Pan'er's fingers trembled slightly, so that she couldn't spill the honey tea in the bowl, she took a deep breath, tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart, and said softly:

"Take off one of the earrings and let me see."

Although the gold essence is valuable, but only one bead is worn on the earring, and the quality is not very good, Luan Yu is just looking at the freshness, so she is ready to wear it for a few days, since the lady wants to see it, she naturally has no reason to shirk, reached out and took off the earring, and put it on the wooden table.

Unconsciously licked her somewhat dry lips, Pan'er said to Luan Yu: "There is some dry hair on the mouth, you go and bring the ointment of the makeup box, I will apply some, the province will be blown by the north wind, I am afraid that it will crack and bleed." ”

Luan Yu is also a good person, and when she heard this, she opened the curtain and went out of the house, and went to the master bedroom to get the ointment made of osmanthus juice.

Pan'er was the only one left in the room, she reached out and took out the white porcelain bottle containing the spiritual spring water from her arms, looked around, and made sure that there were no maids waiting around, so she put the golden essence earrings in the palm of her hand and dripped a drop of spiritual spring water.

The moist apricot eyes widened, staring at the round bead without blinking, the original gold essence bead could not be about the size of a fingernail, after dripping the spiritual spring water, it was like shrinking a circle, immediately a little smaller, and there were more gray-brown impurities on her hands, and after a closer look, she found that the green of the gold essence stone was stronger, and the cracks and white spots on the top of the previous were also gone, and the product did not know how much it had improved compared to before.

The woman's breathing couldn't help but be a little shorter, Pan'er clutched the earrings tightly, no matter what, she didn't expect that God was actually helping her, and she was really sleepy and someone sent a pillow.

Like this kind of gold essence that is not of high quality, carved and made earrings, it has been calculated, if it is worse, I am afraid that even the jewelry of the woman will not be able to be made.

After all, the pampered lady in the big family, all of them have a high vision, and they have not seen good things, although the price of gold jewelry is expensive, but Tocharian is very close to the great cause, in addition to paying tribute to the court every year, there are still many merchants who bring some gold essence in the middle of the quality to come, as long as you ask for silver from the purse, you can buy it.

If the quality is worse, take it out is also lose their face, but the girl from a small household only knows gold and silver agate and other things, and does not recognize gold essence at all, which is bitter for the Tocharian trader, and finally dug out the gold essence rough stone, I am afraid that it will be smashed in my hands.

Luan Yu took the pink and white porcelain box in her hand, walked in from outside the house in a few steps, Pan'er returned the earrings to her, the light in the room was dim, Luan Yu didn't look closely, and she didn't find any difference in the gold essence beads.

Taking the porcelain box, Pan'er lifted the lid, dipped her delicate fingertips in a little light yellow ointment, and applied it to her slightly dry lips, a fragrant osmanthus fragrance lingered, very sweet, after all, this ointment was boiled out of osmanthus petals and nectar, which can be eaten directly, and it does not look greasy when applied to the mouth, but it is very moisturizing.

"Where did Luan Ying meet the Tocharian merchants?"

Probably because the fire kang in the house was too hot, Luan Yu found that his wife's cheeks were a little redder than usual, and even fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose.

"In the restaurant near Rong'an Fang, the Tocharian merchant is different from our great life, with a cloth towel wrapped around his head, and a big beard, a high nose and deep eyes, and a lot of folds on his face, a group of people are blocked at the door of the restaurant, there is really no silver in their hands, and even the coiling of Spitfire Luo is not enough, naturally it is very conspicuous, they also ask people everywhere if they buy gold jewelry, my brother looked at them pitiful, so he bought earrings and gave them to me......"

"You go and call Luan Ying."

There have been a lot of chaos in the capital recently, Chu Liang really can't rest assured that the little daughter-in-law is not at ease, so he ordered Luan Ying to guard in the Zhuangzi from time to time, although Luan Yu couldn't understand why the lady wanted to see him, but the master's mind was not something that they could speculate on as slaves, and they didn't ask anything, so they went out directly and called someone back.

Standing up from the round stool, Pan'er couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, she gave Chu Liang all the silver tickets before, even if the gold essence in the hands of the Tocharian merchant is not of high quality, but the gold essence itself is very valuable, even if the texture is not good, it is much more expensive than ordinary objects, and the remaining silver money in her hand is afraid that it is not enough to buy at all.

Thinking so, the woman sped up to the master bedroom, moved out the sandalwood box with jewelry, opened the lid and looked, the gems in it were bright, stabbing people's eyes painfully, Pan'er used to be poor, and now although she is a lot richer, she is reluctant to spend a lot of money to buy bloodstone as big as pigeon eggs and pearls as big as longan.

These bead hairpin jewelry are all sent by Chu Liang, each piece of quality and workmanship are superior, Pan'er is also a pretty, every day to change the sample to wear, look carefully at the bronze mirror a few times, fresh and tender just like the flower bones, it is indeed better than the plain when it is a few points better.

Holding the sandalwood box in her arms, Pan'er Yan'er's red mouth was pursed, her face was bitter, and she sighed again and again.

Back in the hall, Luan Ying and Luan Yu brothers and sisters were already standing in front of them waiting, hearing footsteps behind them, the two of them hurriedly saluted, Luan Yu stepped forward to take the box, but I didn't expect it to sink very much.

Pan'er didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said softly: "It's all my jewelry here, Luan Ying, you took something to the pawnshop to exchange it for money, and bought back all the gold and essence stones in the hands of the Tocharian merchants." ”

Hearing this, Luan Yingden became anxious and hurriedly said, "Madame!" Although there are a lot of gold essence stones in the hands of the merchants, the quality is too low, and even if they are bought, they are just a pile of scraps......

"I know what I know."

"Go!" She couldn't help but urge, although the top-level gold essence is more useful, and the sales of defective products into jewelry are not very good, but who knows if there will be people with a hot head and want to buy all those gold essence stones, so how can she make money?

Seeing that Madame's face was full of firmness, Luan Ying understood in her heart that there was no turning point in this matter, and sighed secretly: "Madam, if you don't want so much silver, you can first pick out the jewelry in the box, and if you like it, you can keep it." ”

"I want to stay." A little reluctant to mutter, Pan'er opened the box, shook out the ruby dot cuibu inside, took a closer look, and turned out a pair of jade bracelets, these two were given to her by Chu Liang alone, or she had to pick them out, otherwise according to the virtue of the man's careful eyes, I am afraid that it will not be comfortable.

felt very uncomfortable, Pan'er finally forcibly suppressed the reluctance, waved at Luan Ying and said: "Don't delay the hour, I want all those gold essence stones, what if you go late and are bought by others?" ”

Luan Yu stood aside, hearing this, and secretly thought that the kind of gold essence stone is not worth a few silver at all, and most of them are rough stones, and there are few pieces of jewelry that have been handled, how can anyone be wronged and buy that kind of thing?

Pan'er didn't care what the two brothers and sisters thought, after she finished explaining, she asked Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Wu to clean up a small room to store the gold essence.

Luan Ying, as the leader of the guards around Chu Liang, is more secure than ordinary people, he is strong in martial arts, and he is not afraid of being stolen jewelry.

Zhou Zhuangtou was far away at the entrance of the village, and saw the Luan guards who had a tense face all day long, driving a few donkey carts to Zhuangzi's side, his face was greener than Jin Jingshi, he laughed twice unkindly, and did not go up to help, lazily leaning against the willow tree, and whistled towards Luan Ying.

Luan Ying glared at Zhou Zhuang fiercely, and didn't say anything, just narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zhou Zhuangtou only felt that his neck was bright, and he didn't dare to die again, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take the branch in Luan Ying's hand, and drove the donkey inside.

Glancing at the blue golden essence stone, he couldn't help but ask:

"What are you doing with all this blue stone? Ready to open a dye shop? ”

"Madame is useful."

Shrugged his shoulders, Zhou Zhuangtou really couldn't think of what these blue stones could be used for, he was not like Luan Ying, who followed the general to the north and south, and saw a lot more than ordinary people, like this kind of blue stone, in addition to the magnificent color, it is not much different from ordinary ores, why spend so much effort, and have to drive the donkey cart to get this thing back?

I couldn't figure it out in my heart, Zhou Zhuangtou didn't ask much, Madame's idea that he must be a small tenant who couldn't figure it out, earlier he thought that the black pearl transplanted from Shu couldn't survive, how could he think that the cherry tree was quite adapted to the climate in the north, and it was really strange that it was so cold in winter that it didn't freeze to death.

Maybe their waste village is the treasure land of feng shui, what to plant and live, I didn't see that the old plum tree was not good before, planted in the yard of the lady, and slowly recovered a lot, just look at the momentum, maybe it will bloom after the year.

Jin Jingshi was quickly sent to the empty house, and there were a few tables, chairs and benches in the original room, but they were all invited out at the moment, Pan'er carried a basin by herself, and asked Mrs. Wu to bring well water to the door, so they were allowed to leave.

After pouring half a basin of cold well water and adding a small half bottle of spiritual spring water to it, Pan'er took a brick-sized gold essence stone from the board car, looked carefully at the bright window, and found that this piece of rough stone had more impurities than the earrings worn by Luan Yu, not to mention the white spots on it, and the color of the sprinkled gold was also black and dark.

The gold essence stone is uniform in color without cracks, the texture is delicate and there is no gold star, and there is no white sprinkling of gold second, like this piece in Pan'er's hand, it is already considered an inferior product, but if it is of the highest grade, the rough stone with a large brick is afraid that it can be worth thousands of taels of silver, and there are several cars of gold essence, where can her jewelry be exchanged?

Carefully put the stone in the basin, the water surface just did not pass the gold essence stone, the house lit a candle, the snow-white little hand holding the candlestick, Pan'er sat on the pony, looked at the scene in the basin closely, and found that the original crystal clear well water, suddenly became turbid, and the color of the gold essence stone became more and more intense, as if it was quenched, the white spots and impurities on the top melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and melted into the water little by little.

The gold essence stone is smaller than before, but the weight is still considerable, and Pan'er is not in a hurry to fish this gold essence stone out of the water, thinking that if it is soaked in the basin all night, I don't know what will happen.

Walking to the door, Pan'er shouted outside: "Bring a few wooden basins and fill them with some well water." ”

Outside the house, in addition to Luan Ying and Luan Yu's brothers and sisters, there were several guards, and when they heard this, more than a dozen people went to get them, and soon moved the things Pan'er wanted to the door.

Because the change of gold and stone is really not small, Pan'er did not let the guards in, and he worked hard to bring in the wooden basin containing well water, the wooden basin is like the iron pot on the stove, big and heavy, Pan'er has not done rough work for many years, and he is tired and wheezing without carrying a few basins, and there are beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and the sweat on his back has wet his clothes.

Seeing his wife's flushed face, Luan Ying stepped forward to help, but was blown away by Pan'er.

It took a lot of effort for her to even make a lot of effort to feed, and before her back and legs were weak, she finally moved all the basins to the empty house.

There are a lot of gold essence stones in the empty house, but she doesn't have much spiritual spring water, she sits on the ground panting, Pan'er rubs her face with the back of her hand, and then she doesn't leave her hand, her nails pinch the tender flesh on the inside of her elbow, and twist it fiercely.

Every day, she has to make some spiritual spring water to use, even if she is used to this kind of pain, Pan'er still can't help but tremble, and the big teardrops of beans fall down with the spiritual spring water, and she doesn't use a porcelain bottle, she directly takes the wooden basin filled with well water to connect the spiritual spring.

About one basin was almost connected, Pan'er hurriedly changed to another one, and when there was spiritual spring water in more than a dozen basins, her eyes were red, swollen and dry, and her brain was like a pinprick, and the pain was unbearable. There was a muffled snort in the red mouth, Pan'er gritted her teeth and put the golden essence stone in the basin, two pieces could be placed in the wooden basin, and no more could be put down.

Sitting on the top of the pony, Pan'er drank the Lingquan water that still had the bottom of the bottle in one gulp, her face was a little more ruddy than before, she turned her head and walked outside the house, her head drooped, her eyes were like walnuts, red and swollen, Luan Ying was startled, and just wanted to ask, she heard the woman's voice hoarsely speak:

"Send a few men to guard this room, and no one is allowed to enter."

Even if there are a lot of impurities in the gold essence stone, it cost tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy it back, so naturally there can be no mistakes.

Luan Ying just hurriedly answered, and saw Pan'er walking directly to the master bedroom, Luan Yu hurriedly followed, the master and servant entered the house, Pan'er sat on the Eight Immortals chair, hungry and couldn't even lift up a little strength, and her stomach throbbed.

"Go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of bone broth."

There are several kinds of brine water in Rong'an Fang, one of which is boiled out with stick bones, this pot of soup is stewed from morning to night, day by day to add fresh pork leg bones, although the meat on the top is not much, but the bone marrow and gum in it are all boiled into the soup, skim off the oil slick after cooling, the taste is mellow and delicious, but it is not greasy at all.

Luan Yu saw that the master's face was not good, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring the soup.

I used to live with the Lin family, and Pan'er's taste was much lighter than that of ordinary people, and today I actually ate so much meat food, which really surprised Luan Yu.

After drinking a bowl of soup, Pan'er only felt warm from the inside out, and the hunger in her stomach was a little less, but she was still a little uncomfortable.

It happened that Mrs. Wu made a hand-rolled dough, and there was sesame paste in the kitchen, Pan'er stood up directly, went to the kitchen, boiled the noodles with boiling water, and then took cold water a few times, cut the shredded vegetables, shredded chicken, and added oil, salt, sweet and sour, scooped a spoonful of sesame paste into it, mixed it with chopsticks, and didn't leave the kitchen, just sat in front of the stove and ate.

The sea bowl with cold noodles is the size of a plate, and there are a lot of noodles in it, probably because I got too much spiritual spring water out today, Pan'er only felt that her stomach was like a bottomless pit, and she didn't feel full of any food, and Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Qian were still in the kitchen, and when they saw Mrs. 's posture, they didn't dare to speak, so they could only stand on the side in a daze.

After eating a bowl of cold noodles, Pan'er ate another bowl of Xiaobao's favorite milk eggs, patted her round abdomen with her little hand, and then walked out of the kitchen slowly.

Luan Yu was afraid that his wife would break his spleen and stomach, so he went directly to the small courtyard where Dr. Ge lived, and asked for some pills to eliminate appetite and came back.
