Chapter 222

Jiang Wan said with a smile: "that's natural. I can still decide this kind of thing. I'll buy the ruby on you first. I don't have so much silver with me for the rest. I live in the Wangs' house on the other side of the river. Why don't you send it to me tomorrow, and I promise to take it all."

Then she asked Molly to take out five ten Liang silver tickets and give them to the man. She took the ruby from him.

Jiang Wan, who got the ruby, was no longer in the mood to go to the market. She held the ruby tightly in her hand and felt like an arrow to return.

As soon as the old boatman saw Jiang Wan and others, he remembered the one or two silver they had given him before, and without saying a word, he sent them across the river.

As soon as Jiang Wan came ashore, she said to the people around her, "go, let's go to the wharf to find the little Pavilion master!"

Because the Wangs' house where they settled is not far from the wharf, Jiang Wan

He refused to let her ride in the coach.

She felt that it was good for her to come out and walk properly in the good weather in this autumn. After all, the narrow house would soon make her sick.

In fact, the scenery on both sides of the Liuhe river is pretty good. It's like all the small towns she's seen in the south of the Yangtze River. There are small bridges and flowing water.

After walking three or five miles, they arrived at the dock where they got off the boat.

People still come and go on the dock, and there are many foreigners with different skin colors and strange looks.

Jasmine followed Jiang Wan quietly, but her eyes were busy, and she was surprised from time to time.

"Ma'am... Ma'am..." she trotted forward, pulled Jiang Wan's clothes, secretly pointed to a boat docked at the dock, and whispered, "why do the people on that boat look so strange? Even their hair is yellow, and why are their skin so white? I've always felt your skin, ma'am

It's very white, but their white is as white as a box of powder on their face. "

Listening to Molly's words, Jiang Wan couldn't help laughing.

She glared at Molly and said, "don't make a fuss. It will make people think you haven't seen the world. And don't point out like this. They are all human beings like us. What's so strange? "

Jasmine was "trained" by Jiang Wan, so she lowered her head and only dared to stare at her embroidered vamp.

The boats of wuyingge are easy to recognize, and the four same Fu boats line up on the river, which is very spectacular.

Yinggu, standing on the deck, saw Jiang Wan with all the people. She got off the boat and welcomed her.

"Where is the master of Shaoge?" Jiang Wan, like everyone else, changed her words. After seeing yinggu, she didn't exchange too much greetings.

Ying Gu found that Jiang Wan, who always liked to smile, was a little serious today, and wondered if she had something important to do with the master of Shaoge? Therefore, she did not dare to delay, so she led Jiang Wan onto the boat and went to Tongbing to meet Xiao Ruixuan.

After hearing this, Xiao Ruixuan rushed over. After meeting Jiang Wan, he asked anxiously, "what's the matter? What's the matter? Why don't you ask someone to come here and have to go on this trip? "

Jiang Wan did not tell him much, but took out the ruby he had bought from the jeweler and said, "take a good look at this gem."

Xiao Ruixuan took a puzzled look at Jiang Wan, then took the ruby from her hand and looked at it carefully. But after watching it for a long time, he didn't find anything wrong.

"What's the matter? Is this gem flawless? " Xiao Ruixuan even took it in his hand and felt that there was no problem with the weight.

"Don't you notice anything unusual?" Jiang Wan blinked at Xiao Ruixuan and asked.

Xiao Ruixuan looks at Jiang Wan suspiciously and shakes her head.

"I just bought it at the market with fifty taels of silver." Jiang Wandao.

As soon as Xiao Ruixuan heard this, his face changed,

He frowned slightly and said, "do you mean Liuhe market?"

It's true that he has never been to Liuhe market. Although the things there look colorful, there are not many top-grade things.

The reason is that they always classify the returned goods into three, six and nine grades. Naturally, the best thing is to send them to the capital first for those powerful officials and dignitaries to choose. If they are a little inferior, they will send them to rich places. If they are not good in appearance or even incomplete, they will choose to dispose of them locally. If they can change two money, they will get two money.

Of course, it is inevitable that some of these goods will not be missed. Therefore, one or two top-quality goods can be found occasionally in that market, but the chance is very slim.

It's almost impossible for Jiang Wan to get a ruby bigger than his fingernail!

Because it's too eye-catching, there's no reason to be accidentally classified as "inferior"!

"Yes, a jeweler is selling this to Mr. Joe. I look a bit like the one on the ruby head you gave me before

So I spent fifty taels of silver to buy it. " Jiang wanpo is a bit proud.

On hearing this, Xiao Ruixuan gave a knowing smile.

There are always one or two pieces of good goods on those jewel merchants who travel all over the world.

He didn't like it. He said with a smile to Jiang Wan, "as long as you are happy with it."

"But the man said that he had twenty stones of this quality in his hand!" Jiang Wan stretched out two fingers and made a gesture in front of Xiao Ruixuan, "and the man said that there were about 500 such gems where he took the goods!"

Xiao Ruixuan's face suddenly became dignified: "what do you say? He said there were five hundred where he took the goods? "

Although rubies were also produced in the Daliang Dynasty, they were concentrated in the southwest and northwest of China. Moreover, those rubies had high impurity content and low yield, so it was extremely inconvenient to transport them out.

Therefore, most of the rubies on the market come from the western countries, and according to the captain Hong, who is in charge of the ship, there are rubies on the ship where the accident happened

There is a large box of rubies with excellent appearance, which they exchanged with tea and silk. The quantity is not much, not much, just about 500!

"Did he say where he got the goods?" Xiao Ruixuan looks around and thinks that the deck is not the place where he talks with Jiang Wan, so he leads Jiang Wan into an empty cabin.

"It's Fujian!" Jiang Wantong and Xiao Ruixuan said, "and I heard that in half a month, there will be a jewelry appreciation meeting there, and a large number of goods will be produced! That's why the jeweler wanted to sell the 20 red envelopes so as to raise more money to get the goods! " If Xiao Ruixuan doesn't understand what this means, he is not qualified to take charge of such a large organization as shadowless Pavilion.

"You wait for me!" He frowned, turned and got out of the cabin, and soon brought back a strong man over fifty years old with dark skin.
