"I'll go! The best jade material is used as a unit in catties, and it is estimated that there is only me. After calculating the specific weight of the two jade materials with his heart, Li Anran really didn't expect that he hadn't bothered to pay attention to it for a while, and the other courtyard actually sent so much.
Don't look at the weight unit of the Tang Dynasty, each tael is equivalent to about forty grams in modern times, but it is sixteen taels for one catty. In this way, one catty in the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to more than 600 grams of modern time and space. In terms of the weight of jadeite jade, 615 catties is about 400 kilograms, while white jade is more than 200 kilograms. Although such a weight is not a lot, the quality is there.
If this is auctioned in modern time and space, the priceless value is naturally far from it, but it is enough to make Li Anran's bank account have a huge amount of extra money.
At the beginning, when Li Anran asked Chen Boyu, who was in charge of the work of the Xiaoyao Courtyard, to buy the best jade materials for himself, he gave the other party all the various artificial gems in the big bag of cloth that he got from modern time and space. It was a pocket that could hold a hundred catties of rice, which was enough to make the other party jump directly from penniless to a local tyrant in Datang time and space.
What satisfied Li Anran was that in the face of such a huge temptation, this Chen Butler was not moved at all. It's just that these gems are sold through different channels, and then they collect the best jade materials they need through various channels and use the jewelry made of the best jade materials.
Even if the value of gemstones was not as high as that of jade in ancient times, the number of man-made gemstones could not be enough. And this gemstone has the characteristics of being purer than natural gemstones. In addition, these gemstones are cut and polished, and the shapes are also varied, so they can basically be used to make ornaments, and the price is naturally much higher than ordinary gemstones.
And in order to make the task of purchasing jade materials and jade ornaments go smoothly, Li Anran also purchased a batch of jewelry made of various artificial gemstones and sterling silver. Many of them are the same as the Heart of the Ocean that was given to Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun at the beginning, not only beautiful but also big, and the price in Datang time and space is quite expensive.
It is said that with this batch of jade materials and jade ornaments, it can fully support the entire plan to buy the island, however, considering that this kind of thing can no longer be done, Li Anran still decided to go to Shoushan in the Tang Dynasty first. If you can get the top Tianhuang stone. Or the bloodstone of Yuyan Mountain in Changhua, Zhejiang. At that time, you can hold a special auction, so that you can get enough funds at one time, and you don't have to worry about unnecessary trouble caused by frequent shots in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Anran said again: "Steward Wang." I'll leave the day after tomorrow at the latest. You send someone to the other side. Let Ziang, don't care about the fluctuation of the market, spend money when you need to. Collect as many jade materials and jade ornaments as you can, even if the quality is a little worse, it will be of great use in the future. ”
"Understood, young master." Wang Youde, who had long been misled by someone, thought that these superb jade materials were the materials for refining the magic weapon of the immortal family, and was not surprised by such an order at all.
"Alright, you go get busy." Waving his hand, Li Anran said.
"Yes, young master." After giving a respectful salute, Steward Wang hurriedly went down and sent someone to deliver a letter to the other courtyard.
After finishing the order, seeing that the time was almost up, Li Anran ordered his subordinates to set the meal.
After enjoying a hearty lunch accompanied by the two sisters, Li Anran, who saw that there was nothing to do, and had something in his heart, did not stay in the Tang Dynasty time and space, but took things back to modern time and space.
Just after Li Anran left the Tang Dynasty time and space, Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun, who stayed in the inner courtyard, sat on the bed and said something.
"Xiangyun, did I do something wrong?" Su Xiaomei, who curled her legs and put her chin on her knees, looked at the open space in front of the bed in a daze and asked.
"Xiaomei, what do you think of the young master to us?" Xiangyun, who did not answer this question, asked rhetorically.
"Very good, the young master is very good to us. No, it's very good! After flashing a few bright big eyes, Su Xiaomei replied with certainty.
"If, I mean if, if the young master leaves one day, would you like to go with him?" Looking at his sister, Xiangyun pinched the other party's face and asked with a smile.
"Let's go? Where to go? Going to the field? Of course we have to be together, this time the young master is going to go out, don't we just have to follow together. Also, I can fly again, I hope I won't throw up again this time. Su Xiaomei, who was originally in a low mood, became a little active again after her thinking was transferred.
"I'm not saying going to another place, I'm saying that the young master is going back to the upper realm." Stretched out his hand and pointed to Xiangxiang above his head and said.
"Huh? The Upper Realm? Su Xiaomei, who was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment before saying, "If the young master is willing to take me to get it, then it must be to go." Anyway, I don't have any relatives here, and it's so lonely to stay alone. Xiang, what about you? Will you go too? ”
"Me?" Playing with the heart of the ocean that had been hanging under his neck, Xiangyun said without thinking about it: "Of course I want to go, but this depends on the young master's decision." ”
"Yes, it depends on the young master's decision, if he is not willing to take us, it will be miserable." Speaking of this, Su Xiaomei suddenly reacted, and then said, "Huh? No, Xiangyun, I'm asking if your young master is angry with me, how did you get involved in this matter, does it matter? ”
"How can it be okay, Xiaomei, we are already young master's people, and the young master is indeed very good to us. So, no matter what we do, we are on the young master's side. Sent a cute and big-eyed Xiangyun and said.
"Xiangyun, can you stop going around the bend, what the hell is going on, tell me quickly, it's a big deal, when the young master comes next time, I'll let you go first?" Su Xiaomei, who had never figured out what was going on today, took the other party's hand and shook it.
Faced with the coquettish and bold and straightforward statement just now, Xiangyun didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed. To say that she is a good sister, her ability in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is not worse than herself, and her personality and mind are also good. But since he was ransomed, he has become stupid in just a few days, and if he hadn't been together for so long, most of them would have thought that the other party was deliberately pretending to be like this to please someone.
"You, why did you become so heartless." Xiangyun, who stretched out his jade finger and lightly pestled the other party's forehead, then revealed the mystery and said: "Xiaomei, since we are already the young master's people, and the young master is so good to us." If you had to choose, would you listen to the words of the Holy Master today, or would you listen to the words of the young master? ”
"Holy today?" Su Xiaomei, who didn't expect this at all, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said with a natural face: "Why would you ask such a question, of course you listen to the young master." But what does this have to do with what I did today, I didn't disobey. ”
Seeing that the IQ of his good sister had indeed dropped sharply, Xiangyun shook his head, and then simply made his words clear and said, "You, you are stupid!" Think about it, what kind of person is the young master, that is the heavenly immortal. Immortals, how could they take that little bit of a holy decree in their eyes. Just stuff it for you, you can just take it yourself and put it away, and what else do you have to say to find a place to offer it, what if it is the will of the saint today, so that you are not good for the young master, what should you do? ”
"How is that possible! How could I be unfavorable to the young master, it is absolutely impossible! "Finally, there is no Su Xiaomei, who is extremely brainless, and now she finally understands the implicit meaning and relevance of this matter. While shaking his head and waving his hand to deny, his beautiful little face suddenly turned pale.
"Xiaomei, we all bought it from outside Cuihong Mansion, and our parents and family don't know where they are. If one day, someone told you that they had found your family and used it as a threat to make you do something, would you still be so sure? Xiangyun, who also curled his legs and put his chin on the clouds, looked at the ground and said with a somewhat fluttering look.
"This ...... This ......" wanted to say that he would still be so sure, but when he thought that he had never seen each other since he was a child, and he could only hide in the quilt and cry during the New Year's holidays, Su Xiaomei had already poured into her mouth, but she couldn't say anything. (To be continued......)
