Marriage Beloved in Troubled Times: Madam Wants to Run Away from Marriage

Chapter 115 Will he believe you, or will he deal with you?

Gu Wan recalled that in the previous life, starting from next year, jadeite jewelry would gradually gain more and more people's love, and it would gradually become popular to the point that anyone with a little wealth would be proud of wearing jadeite jewelry with a good water head and full of green color. Wealthy families even use the carvings made of many jadeites to highlight their identities.

However, in the boundaries of the sixteen provinces in the south, there is only one rough jadeite produced in a remote mountain city, and the cost of transporting it from afar is very high. Meng Shuheng discovered one of them, so Marshal Yuan paid more and more attention to Meng Shuheng.

And Meng Shuheng can get a lot of rough jadeite, and he hired a famous jade carver to buy the wives, concubines, and even women of outhouses of officials at all levels in the [-] southern provinces with these jade ornaments. The pillow breeze in front of these officials quickly won the hearts of a large number of people, so that when the Huo family was in trouble, few people gave a helping hand...

But if the Huo family can get a huge jadeite raw mine early, mine the raw stone, make a batch of good-quality jadeite ornaments, and help Huo Xizhou to buy people's hearts, then even if Meng Shuheng leans on Yuan Dashuai again, he will Lost many opportunities.

"Speaking of it, it really looks a bit like it." Huo Xizhou held a torch in one hand and shone on the stone: "Moreover, it looks like a material that has been desanded."

"It really is." Zhang Zhun was also a little surprised: "When the torch shines through, the stone is transparent. It is undoubtedly jade. Recently, many people in the city are asking about the market price of jadeite. Could it be that this kind of jade is going to soar?"

"Wanwan, what do you think?" Huo Xizhou turned his head and asked Gu Wan.

"I think... it will rise sharply," Gu Wan said, "but I heard that the material that has been desanded can't produce large jade carvings, only small pendants, but the kind is old, the flesh is thin, and the water head is special. Well, if we can produce a few uncracked and unbroken bracelets, it must be very valuable, if the mountains connected to this secret passage are full of jade, then we will undoubtedly grow a big treasure!"

"Go, let's go and see." Huo Xizhou asked Zhang Zhun to hold the firewood, wild rabbits, and fish, hold Gu Wan's hand with one hand, and light a torch with the other hand, and shine all the way forward.

This photo is really amazing.

There are many stones whose skin is very thin. When the fire shines on them, they are crystal clear and look particularly gratifying. There are also some with spring green, purple, and yellow, and these stones are not only on both sides of the dark passage, it seems that the entire cave is full of stones. Both are.

As soon as he walked, he walked to the edge of the dark river without knowing it, and entered a big hole that could accommodate thousands of people.The water comes from above, it seems that there is a river above, but the river must not be deep, or very clear, because the light can pass through the water and come down like a vortex. The water flow is very strong, but compared with the whole cave, it seems not so big .

After being continuously washed by the water, the skin of the jade rock has been worn away long ago, so the surrounding stones along the dark river are all crystal clear. light up.

You can see it clearly without lighting a torch—on this side of the dark river, the skin of the jade is gray and white, but on the other side it is black.

Half of the bottom of the dark river is crystal clear, half of it is green. The whole dark river stretches forward, resembling the kind of Tai Chi that the ancients said. Take a closer look at a jade rock not far in front of you. , It actually looks like a dragon in myths and legends.

Dragon veins?

Huo Xizhou's body trembled. Earlier, he opened the ancient books of Jiangcheng and saw that there were dragon veins in Jiangzhou. Could it be that this secret passage and this emerald mine were actually referring to?
——He is now 100% sure that this is definitely a jade mine, and there are actually two types of emerald jade in one mountain, which is really amazing!
"Xizhou, those black stones seem to be jade, but the shell is different." Gu Wan stepped forward and said, "So, there are actually two kinds of jadeite in this mountain. Want something better?"

"Well, it's more green." Huo Xizhou nodded.

He also said, "Wan Wan, you are tired. Now that we are here, we can see the light again, and we still have water to use, we will light the fire here."

As he spoke, he gave Zhang Zhun an order: "Adjutant Zhang, you are in charge of lighting the fire and grilling meat. Wanwan and I are going to look at the stones nearby."

"Yes!" A big smile appeared on Zhang Zhun's face: "Young Marshal, Young Madam, it's a blessing in disguise for us, you go quickly, there is a promising stone to make a note of, and I will dig it later."

"Such a big jade mine, how many good things can be produced, all sold, and used for our military expenses. At that time, under the leadership of the young commander, I will definitely train our army better than any soldiers !"

Zhang Zhun is a soldier. Now that he sees the treasure, he has no intention of keeping it for himself, but wants to use it in the army.

"If you dig alone, how many years will it take to dig enough for my military expenses?" Huo Xizhou said, took off his coat, and threw it to Zhang Zhun: "Grill the meat well, and dry my clothes too." gone."

It wasn't cold in the cave, but Gu Wan said that it was night when he got out of the cave, and he was worried that Gu Wan would be cold by then, so he put his clothes on after drying.

"Yes! Young commander, I promise to complete the task!" Zhang Zhun said with a smile.

Only then did Huo Xizhou pull Gu Wan forward.

Drilling from the big hole to another small hole is full of black stones, but the torch is pushed in a little bit, and you can see some gratifying performances. Huo Xizhou picked up a small piece of gravel, which he thought was not bad. Make a mark on the stone, and said to Gu Wan: "Now there are only you and me here, tell me, when will this jade jewelry become fashionable."

"Probably after March next year, it will become more and more popular in the future." Gu Wan replied.

"Then do you think father knows that there is a jade mine here?" Huo Xizhou asked again.

"Don't think about it, the commander must know that there is a jade mine here." Gu Wan turned his head, pulled Huo Xizhou's sleeve, and motioned him to look somewhere nearby: "There are neat and fresh traces here, it must be the commander I have dug jade, perhaps, the jade ornaments of grandma and mother in recent years came from here."

Huo Xizhou glanced there, his eyes fell on the small stone he picked up, and the corner of his mouth hooked: "It's true."

"Since it's going to be popular next year, we'll have to start using this mine this year. It seems that after we go back, we have to go to my father for a showdown! What do you think, how should I tell my father? Say you discovered it by accident before? How far was it before? Do you think he will believe you? Or will he deal with you?"
