Li Xuandu and Qin Su left from the back door of the Governor's Mansion with umbrellas and came to the street.

Qin Su gently rotated the paper umbrella in his hand, his steps were light, but he didn't see the calmness of his usual days, but he looked like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Li Xuandu held the umbrella with one hand and quietly held Qin Su's palm, the tender little hand just subconsciously struggled for a while, and then calmed down, and even boldly held Li Xuandu's palm in turn.

The two palms were clasped tightly, Qin Su's face was slightly red, and he deliberately turned his gaze to the other side, with a hint of being a thief.

Li Xuandu's face remained unchanged, as if he was holding his daughter-in-law, not to mention shy, and even a little complacent.

At this time, the rain gradually turned lighter and dripping. Rainy days are the best time to kill, and after a heavy rain, the blood and all traces are washed away, and nothing is left. However, the city ban is much stricter than usual, and recently there have been several cases of Qingyang Sect remnants hiding in the city hurting people, for this reason, the Governor's Mansion has specially set up a temporary yamen to be responsible for this matter, and called Qingluanwei's manpower to fill it, and it happened that Lu Yanbing, the right governor of Qingluanwei, was in the city, so she was in charge of this matter, which allowed Li Xuandu and Qin Su to be free.

The two walked and stopped and came to a bustling city.

Today's Qizhou, Beihai Mansion has fallen, and other provinces have also been affected by the war, only Langya Mansion is close to the East China Sea, except for the Qingyang Rebellion, it has not encountered war, and the Governor's Mansion has also moved here, so today's Langya Mansion is the most prosperous place in the entire Qizhou.

Li Xuandu and Qin Su came to this downtown area, not affected by the chaos, it is still a lively scene of shops, the two of them walked over one by one, because Langya Mansion is close to the East China Sea, and shipping is prosperous, so the goods here are also from the north and south of the world, which is strange. The first store they went to, a new batch of goods recently, among them is a kind of mirror, more clear than the bronze mirror, jade mirror, called glass mirror, reflecting the figure of the person is exquisite, but the price is also extremely expensive, a palm-sized piece will cost three hundred and sixty Taiping money, it is simply a money grab, not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary rich people can not afford to use it, only the real rich can buy.

However, this kind of mirror is not worried about not being sold, because for women who love beauty, the attraction of glass mirrors is too great, and even a woman like Qin Su, who has seen the world, is also slightly moved after seeing it.

Li Xuandu originally wanted to buy a mirror for Qin Su, but unfortunately he naturally didn't have so much peace money on him, just when he was in a dilemma, Qin Su saw his predicament and took the initiative to pull him out of the store.

When I came to the second shop, I sold all kinds of things like a mechanism, among which there was a "chiming clock", which chimes on time, and a watch with a needle engraved with a dial to refer to the twelve hours, which is much more clever than a drip. Li Xuandu vaguely remembered that during the Wude period, there were overseas businessmen who sent two self-striking bells to the first emperor, and the first emperor gave one of them to Zhang Suqing. The dawn of the rest of the war, the Admiralty forecasts. ”

The third shop is a shop specializing in jade and jade, which contains all kinds of jade objects, from hairpins, bracelets, earrings, wrenches and other ornaments, to jade pendants hanging with you, jade seals used by literati and scholars, and various ornaments that have been carved. Among them, there is a piece of natural jadeite, which is carved into a pocket cabbage, which is lifelike in one palm, but the asking price is also very expensive, asking for 200 Taiping dollars. It is said that in the treasury of the Queen Mother today, there is a jade cabbage equal to the size of the Chinese cabbage, the carving is naturally the top in the world, lifelike, the key is such a large jade raw material, and such a good water species, rare in the world.

In addition, there are many raw materials for guests to choose from, but Li Xuandu does not have much research on these, just glanced at those jewelry, here is not to ask the price, but to clearly mark the price, the price of these jewelry is around dozens of Taiping money, with Li Xuandu's current net worth, it is quite affordable.

In the end, Li Xuandu took a fancy to a pair of jade bracelets, and the price was forty Taiping dollars, that is, 1,200 taels of silver, which was really not cheap. However, Li Xuandu felt that this pair of bracelets was worth the money, and saw that the pair of bracelets was translucent as a whole, and the bottom was white of fat jade, with a little dark green rising in it, like a line of blue sky and clear water, the deepest bottom, and then gradually shallower.

Just when Li Xuandu wanted to speak, Qin Su held him down, shook his head slightly, and at the same time said in a thread: "You don't need to buy me any gifts, I just want to walk around with you, if you buy something, it seems that I forced you out to ask for a gift." ”

Li Xuandu smiled slightly, didn't argue anything, just pulled Qin Su away and held his hand, pointed to the jade bracelet he fancied, and said, "Boss, I want to take a look at this pair of jade bracelets." ”

All the jade objects are placed in open brocade boxes, which in turn are arranged on the shelves one by one.

The boss is an old man with white hair, he has kung fu on his body, and his cultivation is good, otherwise he would not be able to protect such a piece of belongings, he looked in the direction pointed by Li Xuandu, and his eyes fell on a brocade box: "Son's good eyesight, this piece of material is shipped from overseas Bosa Prefecture, although the color is just ordinary, but the advantage is that there are no impurities." The jade work is the handiwork of the Jiangnan side, and now the jade material in the Bosa Prefecture is getting less and less year by year, and many old pits are about to be hollowed out, so this pair of bracelets is indeed rare. ”

Li Xuandu nodded and didn't say anything.

The old man added: "As the saying goes: 'Gold has a price, and jade is priceless.' 'Gold is made, but jade is innate, and each piece of jade, whether good or bad, has a completely different texture and color. Once it's broken, it's gone, and even if you go all over the world, you can't find a piece that is exactly the same. Therefore, sometimes, buying jade is to look at an eye, and if you like it, you will buy it, if you miss it this time, you will want to touch it in the future, but it will be difficult. ”

As he spoke, the old man took off the brocade box and put it in front of Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu stretched out his hand to take out the jade bracelet from the box, and flipped it slightly against the light, which is strange to say, under the illumination of the light, a touch of turquoise in the bracelet seemed to come to life, and the wisps of emerald green spread to the surroundings, like a bend of spring water after the rain, which would overflow at any time.

The old man said: "Jade raises people, people raise jade, no matter how old the jade is, it has not been warmed by others, and it is still considered a new jade." ”

Li Xuandu handed the bracelet to Qin Su: "Put it on and try it." ”

Qin Su took the bracelet and carefully put it on her wrist, the jade white was almost integrated with her skin, and there was no trace of it, and a touch of green in it was lined with frost on her wrist.

Li Xuandu couldn't help but praise: "It complements each other." ”

The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "The son bought this bracelet for love?"

Qin Su's face turned red, and he was about to take off the jade bracelet, but Li Xuandu reached out and held it down, and said softly: "Put the other bracelet on as well." ”

Although Qin Su was shy, he still put another bracelet on his other wrist as he said.

The old man smiled and said, "The original price of this pair of bracelets is forty Taiping coins, Taiping coins, also known as red coins, are made of real gold. If the son wants to buy it, the old man only accepts thirty-nine Taiping money, and the remaining red money should be a part of the old man's heart, blessing the two. is the so-called golden and jade good fate, and I hope that the two can be together for a hundred years. ”
