Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 480 How is the island?

Before he could finish speaking, An Xin took out a beautifully carved small box from his sleeve.The lid of the box was gently opened, revealing more than a dozen oval gemstones of different sizes inside.Just outside the door, sunlight came in, penetrated the gemstone, and emitted a softer light, which was extraordinarily clear and bright, causing everyone to gasp.

"What kind of gemstone is this, why haven't I seen it before?"

"Why does it seem to be purer than emerald?"

Fang Xin ignored everyone's arguments, picked a gemstone the size of a pigeon egg and put it in Qin Quan's hands, saying, "This is a gemstone that my sister found on Taoyuan Island. It is named glass. The silver ticket you gave earlier There are too many, my sister knows that she is definitely not willing to take advantage of this. This glass gemstone is used as an extra silver tael, you can take it back!"

Qin Quan looked down at the glass ball, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, fearing that Fang Xin would regret it, he saluted indiscriminately and ran away.

Everyone in the room was strangely silent for a long while, and then suddenly exploded.

"Master Fang, I'm from Feng Xianglou, so sell all the gems to our Lou!"

"No, Mr. Fang, the gems must be reserved for our gold and silver family!"

Not to mention how lively Haiyun Pavilion was after being silent for so long, but Qin Quan ran all the way back to the palace, and before entering Yongfu Palace, he shouted loudly, "Master, I'm back."

A busy court lady listened in astonishment. After all, General Manager Qin was very strict on weekdays. Although he would not kill people easily, the board did not seldom greet the ass of those who made mistakes.

It's rare to see such a yell today, and even look a little happy.

Qin Quan ignored everyone's curiosity and went all the way into the East Wing.

Qin Rui put down the twists and turns in his hands, rubbed the center of his brows, and asked casually as if he didn't care, "You're back?"

Qin Quan smiled and nodded, "Master, you don't know. Ding... well, the goods brought back from Taoyuan Island are selling very well. The slaves can get some of them in time, so the master can take a look when he is not busy."

Qin Rui's Danfeng eyes flashed brightly, nodded and said, "Both South Island and East Island are rich in products. I don't know why this new island is named Taoyuan. What's so special about it?"

Qin Quan uncovered the jar of hoisin sauce, brought it to the master, shook it casually, and said with a smile, "I heard that this is a recipe given by Miss Ding to cook the hoisin sauce. After a while, the slave will cook a bowl of noodles for the master, and serve it with this hoisin sauce. A slave can also be a master chef."

It's rare for Qin Rui to joke, "I'm the only one who can praise the food you cook, and if I throw it out, even beggars will dislike it."

Qin Quan was not annoyed, he put the jar of sauce aside, and took out a pen case for his master.

"Master, take a look at this. It's called a pencil, but I heard it's not made of lead ore. It's very interesting."

Qin Rui opened the pen case, took off the cap of the little red conch, and wrote a few words on the paper, but raised his eyebrows, "This pen is much more convenient."

"Of course, master. If you go out again, this servant doesn't have to carry the Four Treasures of the Study on his back, nor does he need to hold an ink cartridge. I dyed Aunt Ding's body last time, and I can't wash it off..."

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly felt that the topic was wrong, coughed dryly twice, carefully took out the glass bead from his arms, and presented it to the master like a treasure.

"Master, what do you think this is? I heard that it is a new gem found on Taoyuan Island. Miss Ding named it Glass."

Qin Rui took it and shined it against the sun. The light refracted through the glass was so dazzling and magnificent that he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Go get a ring on it!"

"Ah... yes, master!"

Qin Quan quickly complied, since he has been in the palace for so long, it's rare for the master to ask for something. I'm afraid that the craftsmen in the craftsman's prison are going to go crazy, so it's better to find some work for them.

"Have you given the bank note?"

"Yes, master. 1 taels, this gem is really too expensive!"

Qin Quan still felt distressed and complained a little.In his mind, if the master got married and gave birth to a young master in the future, even if he became the emperor, there would be no harm in having more money.

"She was the one who discovered Silver Island, and this one should belong to her."

Qin Rui responded lightly, and then ordered, "From now on, when there are new items in that shop, come back and have a look."

"Yes, master." Qin Quan was helpless, and retreated after seeing that the master had no orders.

As soon as the glass gem the size of a pigeon egg was delivered to the craftsman, it was applauded by many gold and silversmiths. In less than half a day, a ring with a silver fish embracing the green lake was sent back to the East Wing of Yongfu Palace.

As night fell, the cold moonlight shone on the slender pale finger through the half-opened window sash.The silver fish on the fingers hugged the oval-shaped green glass tightly, and a few strands of green light wrapped around all the fingers, and they were extremely attached.

"Quan'er, send that person to Taoyuan Island."

"Well, yes, master."

Not far away in Marquis Wu's Mansion, Grandma Gu sent off the buddies of Haiyun Pavilion, looked back at the package on the table, her expression was three-pointed sad, seven-pointed nostalgic, extremely complicated.

The candles on the candlestick crackled and burst into flames, pulling her out of her trance.

Before opening the package, a few more people came running outside the door, the old Jing with graying hair on both sides led the way, followed by three or five old friends who were familiar with each other.

"Old sister, I heard that... the south has sent something?"

Everyone didn't wait to sit down, and asked questions, all eyes were full of anticipation.

Gu Numming was bitter, and replied, "It's Danggui and the girls who brought me a package."

Angelica how many girls?

Everyone's eyes are sharper. No one knows that the four maids have followed the master to the south and have been out to sea ever since.

"Are they okay? Over there..."

Lao Jing couldn't bear everyone's charades, and said angrily, "There are no outsiders here, so what are you pretending to do. You dare not ask, I will ask!"

He raised his hand and tugged on the old mother's sleeves, and sat down next to her without hesitation, and said, "Well, it's a master and servant, not to mention that the young master is the one we watched and grew up with, it's the madam who treats us." It is also a close family. The three little masters are so kind, and now they are living outside. Let's ask a few more questions, but no one can pick them out. Tell me quickly, everyone is thinking about it!"

The rest of the people blushed a little at what Lao Jing said, and sighed, "Neither are we... But, hey, old sister, you should tell me quickly. These days, no one has had a good night's sleep, just I'm afraid that the masters will suffer outside."

The old mammy smiled wryly, "The guy at Haiyun Pavilion was just running errands along the way, so he didn't know too much. It just said that a fleet from Quanzhou came back from Taoyuan Island and brought this package."

"Then what are you waiting for, take a look!"

Lao Jing opened the package in twos and twos, revealing a suit of clothes, a pair of shoes, a few seashell bracelets, and a few conch shells the size of a bowl.

The old mammy snatched the envelope, pulled out the letter paper and only glanced at it twice before her face changed drastically, "Oh, masters have encountered pirates!"

"What!" Lao Jing yelled and jumped up, "Who has the guts to bully Master?"

As he spoke, he was about to rush out the door.The old mother hurriedly pulled him away, "What's the rush, we haven't finished yet! Madam led the regiment and veterans to defeat the pirates, opened a workshop, built a stone fort, and are safe."

"Ah, that's about the same."

Only then did everyone feel relieved, but it turned out to be unpleasant at first.

It stands to reason that the one in the palace is their real master now, but for some reason, they just can't help but miss Ding Wei's family.I think about it when I eat, when I pass the garden, when I look at the palace.

But no matter how I think about it, I don't understand, whose fault is it?

In the main room of the Fang family's house, there was rare laughter at this moment.

"Oh, mother, look at this chain, it's so beautiful!" Chu Qixi was putting a string of seashell necklaces around her neck. It is rosy, with a mysterious luster faintly, and smells the breath of the ocean.Wearing them in a string like this is really more beautiful than coral beads.

Mrs. Fang also touched the hairpin in her hand and smiled happily, and praised, "Only someone as smart as Weier can have such a wonderful idea. A seashell can be made into jewelry. Looking at the hairpin carvings, no wonder Those who knew thought it was pearls inlaid on the ivory."

"Sister Ding is eccentric, the hairpin for mother is better than my necklace."

Chu Qixi pursed her lips, acting coquettishly with her mother-in-law.Sure enough, Mrs. Fang laughed even harder, and teased her daughter-in-law, "Then why don't we change!"

"Ah, no, mother still looks pretty in this hairpin."

Chu Qixi quickly grabbed her necklace, as if she was afraid that her mother-in-law would snatch her treasure away.Not to mention Mrs. Fang now, even the confidant maids and nurses in the room laughed.

At such a time, Prime Minister Fang walked in, and everyone quickly stopped laughing.Chu Qixi respected and feared this unsmiling father-in-law the most, saluted in embarrassment, and planned to find an excuse to hurry back to her small courtyard.

It just so happened that Fang Xin followed in, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Prime Minister Fang glanced at the things on the table that obviously had the atmosphere of the sea, including jewelry, makeup boxes, sewing shoes and socks, and his expression became complicated.

After taking a sip of tea, he asked his son, "How is Taoyuan Island...?"

Fang Xin still couldn't let go of his "grass on the wall" father, and responded lightly, "Okay, what can I do? You still plan to help the new emperor to kill them all?"

Prime Minister Fang frowned, and wanted to scold his son, but felt that it was not easy to lower his son's prestige in front of his daughter-in-law, so he could only swallow his anger back, and cursed in a cold voice, "You unfilial son, you have been doing this all day long. Idle hands, instead of being busy with other people's business, it is better to take care of yourself. Why is the income at the Quanzhou shipyard less and less? You should hurry to the south to see 1"

Going south?

Fang Xin blinked twice, then stood up suddenly, "Father, you mean..."

"What do you say, get out tomorrow! Remember to take the dozen or so veterans in the back alley out to find an errand, our Fang family doesn't support idlers!"

Prime Minister Fang glared at his son several times before getting up and entering the inner room.

Chu Qixi didn't understand why father-in-law got angry, so she went to her mother-in-law and asked carefully, "Mother, father, what is this..."
