Chapter 221

When Jiang Wan went ashore and walked a short distance, he found that the market he saw on the other side was just some stalls.

But after passing through those stalls, a very prosperous commercial street appeared in front of her. There were many shops on both sides of the street, selling all kinds of Suzhou Hangzhou specialties or imported goods.

Jiang Wan casually went into a jewelry store, where almost all the gems were small stones that had only been rough processed, but the Pink Agate, green turquoise, yellow wax, brown tortoiseshell... Were piled up in pots, which made people dazzled.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw Jiang Wan's pink, white, flowered, golden, rimmed and satin buttonhole, the big peony with red gold and Ruby on his head, and the people who were with him, he knew that there were some distinguished guests in the shop.

He didn't talk much either. He just looked at Jiang Wan's choice in the shop with a smile on his face. Only when she asked questions occasionally did he step forward and answer them in a whisper.

Although there are many gems in this shop, their quality is not so good as those Xiao Ruixuan gave her every time.

Therefore, Jiang Wan also lacks interest.

She picked out a string of tourmaline handkerchief at random, and a few pieces of honey wax that looked bright and lustrous, and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, before they were out of the shop, they heard someone shouting out of the shop: "Oh, Mr. Joe! Why are you here in Liujiagang? "

Jiang Wan looked at it curiously. He saw a businessman in his early thirties standing outside the shop, bowing his hand to the shop, while Qiao Qian, who was studying with a tortoiseshell wrench, looked at the man blankly.

"Mr. Qiao, you are so precious and forgetful But the man didn't think that, on the contrary, some of them came to me and said, "I had dinner with you in Shaoxing before! Thanks to you, I've received a lot of goods. That's why I've got money. Come here and try my luck! "

After he said this, Qiao Qian suddenly realized that half a year ago, in order to please the magistrate of Wu County, he did not send many things to his home.

But the money was too straightforward, so he told this man at different times

I collected some precious stones with good appearance and found a silver shop to buy some fashionable jewelry.

Not only Wu Xianling but also his wife, who lived in the back house, was very happy.

But in retrospect, it's like a joke.

When the man saw that Qiao Qian was again choosing gems in the jewelry store, he mistakenly thought that he was keen on this, so he pulled him out of the store with a smile and found a place where no one was. Mysteriously, he took out a ruby as big as a toenail cap and as gorgeous as a flame from his pocket and said to him, "fifth master, this is a really good thing, You can't find such a good quality ruby in this street. I don't believe you can look at the sky and see if you can see any impurities. "

Qiao Qian took the ruby from the man with suspicion. As the man said, it was bright and pure.

"Things are good things, but how can there be only one? It's still hard to make a hairpin, but as you know, it's popular to make a whole set of hairpins. You don't have that much. " While he was talking, Qiao Qian took the ruby and weighed it in his hand, but he said in his heart that it was really a good thing.

"Hey, hey, how can there be only one!" That person is to laugh thief Xi Xi, "so valuable good thing, I can't all take on the body, be cut off by the person, where do I go to cry?"

"How many do you have?" Qiao Qian, who wanted to haggle over the price, was surprised and asked.

The man laughed and held out a hand“ Five? " Qiao Qian guessed.

That person is a face to despise of way: "five I have what dare not take on the body?"? It's five hundred, and each of them has such a good quality! "

"Five... Five hundred..." even Qiao Qian was shocked.

His fussy voice also attracted Jiang Wan's attention. Seeing the ruby he held in his hand, he leaned over and asked, "can I have a look?"

As soon as Qiao Qian saw it was Jiang Wan, he quickly offered it to him with both hands.

Jiang Wan took the ruby in her hand and looked at it again and again. She found that the quality of the ruby was almost the same as that Xiao Ruixuan had taken home before. In the sunshine, the rose luster could be seen in the dazzle. It was the best of the best

.

"You say there are five hundred such gems?" Seeing the man's nervous face, Jiang Wan threw the jewel back to him. "Make a price, I'll take it all!"

"All... All?" The man didn't expect that Jiang Wan would be so grand, but he said, "I'm going to sell 521!"

According to the present price of five Liang silver per mu, this gem can be exchanged for ten mu of fertile land!

"Fifty is fifty!" Jiang Wan gave a little smile, not vague.

But the man hesitated: "I... I just boasted a little... With my financial resources, how can I win 500... I just won 20..."

Daren Qing, the 500 he said just now are just bluffing.

"Where did you see the five hundred?" Jiang Wan also subconsciously looked at the street behind her, which had not come to rush. Her intuition told her that there should not be such a good appearance in this street.

"Hey hey, young lady, you have good eyesight!" Although the man looked at the scene in front of him

A young woman, however, dressed up as a woman, said with flattery, "I brought this thing back from Fujian. In half a month, there will be a jewelry appreciation meeting. I want to take a chance and think that if I can pay high prices for these 20 rubies, maybe I will have more money to collect more jewelry."

When he said this, the man became more and more excited, as if there were Jinshan and Yinshan waiting for him to move.

Fujian? Jewelry appreciation conference?

I don't know why, but Jiang Wan suddenly thinks of Xiao Ruixuan, the merchant ship robbed by the pirates in Southern Fujian.

Could it be that coincidence?

"When is the jewelry appreciation meeting you said? I want to open my eyes too!" Jiang Wan also smiles to that humanity.

"Not everyone can go to this appreciation meeting," the man took out a small wooden plate carved with a font size from his body. "You have to have this to get in!"

"Why? I have a wooden card, too! " Qiao Qian looked as like as two peas of wood, and he pulled out a piece of the same piece from his body.

This is August 18. When Kawasaki was in the Guanchao Pavilion, he said he would take it to play. He didn't take it seriously at that time. He took it and put it in his pocket.

As soon as the man saw that Qiao Qian had the same piece, he said excitedly: "it's just right, Mr. Qiao Wu, why don't we go to Fujian together and take care of each other all the way!" Qiao Qian is noncommittal. After all, Fujian is so far away.

As soon as the man saw it, he laughed and turned the topic. Looking at Jiang Wan, he asked, "I just don't know if the young lady really wants to buy my 20 rubies?"
