Chapter 257 Purple Pearl
The fleet rested for one night at the board, and then set off early the next morning to another city of Japata, Gershey.Ge'erxi was only half a day's journey away from playing the board, and it was almost noon when the fleet arrived.

This Geerxi is the largest place for merchant ship trade in various places. There are about a thousand households in the area, and most of them are people from Daliao.Of course, some families have been here for hundreds of years, and the customs and habits have also been integrated with the local area.

The people in Japata basically have the same attire, men with disheveled heads, some wearing a sleeveless blouse, and a cloth scarf made of local homespun cloth around their waists.Women usually wear their hair in a bun behind their heads, and they also wear sleeveless blouses with skirts underneath, and some embroidered cloth scarves are wrapped around the skirts.Perhaps it is because of the hot and sunny place here, generally speaking, people's clothes are slightly darker.

Compared with Taban, the clothes worn by the residents of Gershey are slightly more gorgeous.Especially for women, most of the blouses on their bodies are made of silk, and many of the cloth scarves around their waists are made of golden Kesi or embroidered with very gorgeous patterns.Some women also wear gold and silver ornaments or ivory and pearl ornaments on their necks and wrists.

The people in the fleet still carried the goods off the ship according to yesterday's method, and traded with the locals.The trade atmosphere here is much stronger than that of playing board. When you see a merchant ship stop from a distance, many people will gather around, ready to exchange their own products for what they want.

In the process of trading, this is even more reflected. When the locals come to trade, in addition to those special products, more are directly traded with gold, silver, gems, pearls and other items.Only at this time did Qiaoyun understand why the fleet planned to stay here for one more day.

The fleet brought the most exquisite porcelain, silk, embroidery, etc. from Daliao, which are very popular in the local area.Many people heard the news, and they all gathered around, and those who were far away also rushed towards this side one after another.Fortunately, Chu Ruifeng was thoughtful and sent many guards over, so there were no accidents.

Commodity trading is not a pleasant thing in the first place. Bargaining, appraising the value of the other party's commodities, etc. all need to be done slowly.Especially those who come to trade with gems and pearls, Qingyun and others have to carefully identify, judge their value, and then confirm the transaction.In this way, the afternoon passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the local people could only disperse separately.

Qingyun and the others are already exhausted, but judging from the unconcealable smiles on their faces, today's harvest is quite rich.Sure enough, when Qingyun Qinglei led people to sort out all the things exchanged in today's trade, Qinglei couldn't help laughing.

"Master, we have gained a lot this afternoon. Look at these beads. I dare say, if we take this back, the lowest one can sell for tens of thousands of taels. And these gems are of very good quality. These few transactions can be regarded as profitable."

Chu Ruifeng looked at the ones that Qing Lei pointed out, and there were a few pearls that were the size of pigeon eggs, and they were quite special colored pearls.Purple pearls emit a soft and dreamy light under the sunlight, and they are indeed rare treasures.

"Qinglei, pick the two best beads for me. There are also those few gemstones, pick the best ones for me." Chu Ruifeng took a fancy to the things Qinglei pointed out at a glance, So he opened his mouth and said.

Qing Lei felt a little strange, wondering what Chu Ruifeng wanted this for?Of course, no matter what Chu Ruifeng wants to do, it has nothing to do with him.Qing Lei hurriedly picked two of the best beads according to Chu Ruifeng's request, and picked up a few gemstones with good color and gloss, put them in a box, and sent them to Chu Ruifeng.

Chu Ruifeng opened the box and looked at it carefully, then took the box and walked towards Qiaoyun without saying a word. "Yun'er, come here, I have something for you."

Qiao Yun was helping Aunt Li and the others to prepare dinner, when she was suddenly dragged away by Chu Ruifeng, which stunned her, "Siyuan, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Come, talk over here." Chu Ruifeng kept walking, dragging Qiaoyun all the way to the outside of her tent. "This is for you, you put it away first, and wait until you go back to Daliao. I'll find someone to help you make some decent jewelry." Chu Ruifeng put the two boxes in Qiao Yun's hand, and said lightly.

Qiao Yun lowered her head and looked at the box in her hand, not understanding what Chu Ruifeng meant. "What's in here?"

Chu Ruifeng smiled, "Don't you know if you open it and have a look?"

Qiaoyun was also a little curious, so she gently opened the box on the top, only to find two huge, round purple pearls emitting soft light inside. "Ah, such a big bead, so beautiful." Qiao Yun exclaimed, and then realized that Chu Ruifeng wanted to give this to her.

"Siyuan, this is too expensive, I can't take it, these two beads are almost worthless, how can I take them?" Qiao Yun was terrified, and hurriedly returned the box to Chu Ruifeng. "Siyuan, I understand what you mean, but this thing is too expensive, I can't accept it." God, she has never seen such a big bead even in her previous life.How much silver does this cost?She dare not ask for it.

Chu Ruifeng's face darkened when he heard the words, "Nonsense, what is precious or not? Your heart is more precious than anything else, but it's just two beads, and it's not a big deal. Just keep it, and wait until later." I'll give it to you when I meet other good things."

"It was supposed to wait for us to go back to Daliao. I'll help you inlay the jewelry before sending it to you. However, there is still some time before we go back, so it's better to keep it for yourself. By the way, you should also think about what kind of jewelry you want to play." Jewelry, you have to have the style you like. Yun'er, these are not worth mentioning to me, nothing is more important than you, compared with you, these are all waste. "

Chu Ruifeng's words came from the bottom of her heart, so Qiao Yun could understand it. She looked at the box in her hand and felt a little hesitant.There is no woman who does not like jewelry, especially such rare pearls, of course Qiao Yun also likes them very much.But this thing is expensive, is it really good for her to accept it?
Seeing that Qiao Yun was still hesitating, Chu Ruifeng was a little displeased, "If you tell me to keep it, you can keep it. Aren't my things yours? What do we share with each other? As long as you like it, it's more important than anything else." .”

Everyone has said so, if Qiaoyun still refuses to accept it, it will be a bit hypocritical, not to mention that she really likes it.So Qiaoyun didn't evade any more, "Okay, I'll just accept it for you. Siyuan, thank you." Qiaoyun smiled happily.

"Silly girl, if you and I still need to say thank you, it would be too unfamiliar." Chu Ruifeng smiled, and stretched out his hand to help Qiaoyun tidy her hair. "Let's go, I'll accompany you back to the boat, put this on the boat, it's not safe in the tent." After speaking, he pulled Qiaoyun and walked towards the big boat.
