Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 719 Baby?

Su Ran got up, straightened the folds of her clothes, and said calmly: "We bought this one." Buy it back to give her little daughter a good look.

The tone was understated, as if it was a small matter.

"Ah, mother?"

"Sister-in-law, no!"

Lian Wanzhen and Lin Yuejuan screamed in unison.

Su Ran smiled gently at the two of them, comforted Lin Yuejuan with her eyes, and signaled her to be calm.

Lin Yuejuan calmed down worriedly. She knew that her younger sister and daughter-in-law had always had good ideas, and now she might have made up her mind to pay attention.

Lian Wanzhen saw his mother like this, and immediately stopped talking, following his mother's actions.

The straw hat vendor looked at the stone. It was a head covering, the cheapest kind, but also the most risky.

The stones in their business include head covering, window opening material, semi-bright material and clear material. Head covering means that the stone is as it is without special treatment. Estimate the fineness through this mouth, the semi-bright and clear materials have been processed, the risk is small, but the price is also high.

He looked at each of these stones dozens of times, and released them only after making sure they were not mistaken. The piece that the lady looked at, originally sold for ten taels, which is already very good.

After seeing the stone clearly, the straw hat vendor was relieved, and before he regretted it, he hurriedly said: "Madam is really smart, I will not sell this stone if many people want to buy it. Do you want to take it back like this, or should I give it to you?" You get a lanyard to carry it back?"

"Tie a lanyard, it's easier to carry." After Su Ran finished speaking, she turned her head and motioned for Lian Wanzhen to give the money.

"Come on." The straw hat vendor happily wrapped the stone with hemp rope, tied it in a knot, and brought it to Lian Wanzhen, who paid for the stone and delivered it.

At the moment when she was about to take the money, Lin Yuejuan couldn't help stopping her, and looked at Su Ran: "Sister-in-law..."

Su Ran patted her hand, smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, I'm happy today, just trying to be happy."

Next, Lin Yuejuan watched helplessly as the vendors couldn't wait to take away the money, and they walked away with another stone on their shoulders. She could only comfort herself by saying that her sister-in-law knows her heart well, and she shouldn't buy it for nothing. .

After leaving, Lian Wanzhen asked, "Mother, is this stone a treasure?"

"Maybe." Su Ran said indifferently, looking at the stalls on both sides.

If her youngest daughter was here, she would definitely ask her to buy it. Unfortunately, she used to worry that her youngest daughter's provision would be wrong, and she was very strict in these places.

It will be difficult to make up for it in the future, alas...

When Lin Yuejuan heard this, she immediately raised her voice and said, "What? Sister-in-law, are you not sure?"

40 taels of silver to buy a latrine stone?

This is crazy!
Before the family change, she knew that Lian Chang and her family were very wealthy, and she also vaguely knew that her sister-in-law was born as a lady of a big family, she was very insightful, and she was not a person who didn't know the people's sufferings, so she didn't seem to stop her from the beginning. Lian Wanzhen was so determined.

Now when she first heard this sentence, her mind suddenly exploded.

Su Ran's attention came back, and seeing Lin Yuejuan's expression, she immediately understood what people were worried about.

I had been distracted before, always thinking of my little daughter from time to time, so I didn't pay attention.

She hurriedly explained with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, it's no problem that this stone is worth its money, but I'm not sure about the quality of this jadeite."

"If you don't miss the rough stone with this kind of texture..." She weighed it up, a little undecided: "Twenty to thirty percent may produce high-grade jadeite, forty to five percent may be middle-grade jadeite, and if you are unlucky, it may be just ordinary jadeite. I can't say for sure."

It's hard to tell the way of betting on stones. If there are cracks and flaws in it, a piece of material will be ruined.

Lin Yuejuan was shocked. Ordinary jadeite costs dozens of taels, and medium and high-grade jadeite costs at least a few hundred taels. If the water head is really good, then the price is unknown. , most people can't afford it.

She hurriedly looked at the stone, at this moment she already felt that the stone was pleasing to the eye no matter how it looked, and seeing Lian Wanzhen casually carrying it, she was worried, so she hurriedly ordered in a low voice, and in the end she just wanted to hug it desperately. Afraid of losing it or breaking it.

Lian Wanzhen couldn't let her hug this dead stone, so she tried to persuade her to do so, but Lin Yuejuan kept her eyes on the stone, and she didn't have the mood to go shopping anymore.

Su Ran shook her head and laughed, and turned her head to see a bookstore. In order to attract business, the bookstore posted a lot of papers outside to write what new books had been added, but Su Ran was attracted by the big words ""Strange Stories and Tales"" up.

She stared blankly at those words, as if she saw her little daughter "working hard" with her feet up...

in the harem.

This time has gradually become lively.

The concubines who hadn't wandered around for a long time came out one after another. The emperor's decree to pardon the palace people to leave the palace mostly affected slaves, and these slaves were not on duty in front of the concubines, so most of the concubines were not affected.

The pavilions and pavilions in the harem are often decorated with floral ribbons not far away, and festive lanterns are hung. These lanterns will be lit all night for three consecutive days until the end of the Longevity Festival.

The scene near the Qianqiu Hall is the most lively and gorgeously decorated. The stage on the east side is already in play, and a big play like "The Immortal's Birthday" is being performed lively on it. In the tent on the west side, storytelling is now being performed. , very lively.

On the road leading to the two sides of the main hall, there are actually two light corridors, with colorful lanterns of different styles hanging on them. There are quite a few riddles, originally imitating the custom of lanterns during the Lantern Festival, and giving rewards for guessing riddles.

At the end of each light corridor, there are a few little eunuchs guarding a five-story tower-shaped shelf, with a board next to it, which seems to be used for recording, and on top of the five-story tower, there are different rare jewels on each floor , on the top floor is a pair of tortoise shell inlaid gold jewelry inlaid bracelets, which are dazzling, luxurious, noble and elegant, even ordinary people can tell that they are worth a lot of money at a glance.

These five pagodas go up and down, and the things are the most precious, and then decrease step by step, and on the bottom fifth floor, there are ten small ingots of five taels.

Every concubine would stop here for a long time, and only after asking the little eunuch did she find out that the things on the display were rewards for guessing lantern riddles, and the first prize was the pair of tortoise shell inlaid gold and jeweled bead bracelets, and the other rankings went down in turn. Excuse me, there will be no rewards for the five winners, but you can choose a lantern to go.

In addition to the light gallery, different games are placed around the place, such as throwing pots, inscriptions, wooden shooting, tracing, painting, leaf cards and other games. Each game will be rewarded with golden melon seeds. Concubine enjoyment, quite interesting.
