Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 84 Picking up gems

Chen Afu inquired specifically and found that there were no diamonds in Dashun Dynasty, so she had not yet decided when these two small stones would be available. Other jewelry can be sold at the right opportunity.

In the notice about gold thieves, the items stolen were also listed, but there were no gold ornaments set with emeralds and rubies.

So Chen Afu picked out three rubies and one emerald. I was going to let Chen Dabao fall down and pick up these gems while collecting firewood.

The two emeralds were green and transparent, as big as half the pad of an index finger. One was round and the other was diamond-shaped. She picked out a round emerald that was slightly darker in color. She would decide which one she preferred later. The three rubies were smaller than the emeralds and oval in shape. They should have been taken from the same piece of gold jewelry.

Now, she has more than 130 taels of silver and 40 taels of gold. If she can sell them for another two or three hundred taels of silver, she can make up more than 800 taels of silver in total.

The premium land here costs five taels of silver per acre, and the paddy fields cost six taels of silver per acre. Regardless of whether it is paddy fields or land, she wants to buy more than a hundred acres, give Chen Ming dozens of acres, and leave a hundred acres for herself, so that she can live a comfortable life as a veritable small landowner.

She didn't know how much money the Chu family uncle could give. She guessed that although the brocade bird was precious and beautiful, it would definitely not be as valuable as Qiqi and Huihui, but it would definitely be worth a hundred taels less. The money he gave me will be reserved for next year's yard repairs and pocket expenses.

The thighs that should be hugged were also firmly hugged. She didn't want to be too harsh on herself. The current thatched house worries her about leaks when it rains heavily.

Chen Afu wrapped a few gems in a handkerchief and told Jin Yanzi what he thought. Jin Yanzi stopped what he was talking about and said, As long as it's not the stuff on the agarwood, mommy can take it out if she wants.

Chen Afu also talked about Chu Hanyan's illness, meaning that after the little girl returned to Tangyuan, could he take out something from Yan Agarwood for the little girl to eat.

Jin Yanzi said happily, Okay, I helped my beautiful sister and my mommy, killing two birds with one stone.

Chen Afu said, You helped a beautiful sister, why did you drag me into this again?

Jin Yanzi chirped, The person who helps my beautiful sister is Mommy, I am just an unknown hero.

Oh, the little thing is right.

The next day, after lunch and no lunch break, Chen Afu put on his bamboo hat and took Dabao and Zhui Feng together to collect firewood in the woods to the west of the village.

This is the hottest time of the day. The autumn sun was still shining brightly, and there were not many people collecting firewood. Occasionally, someone I knew would say hello to Dabao. Not many people say hello to Chen Afu. Except for those who have designs on her, the Chen family and Wu Carpenter's family will talk to her. Almost no one else in the village will talk to Chen Afu. One is not familiar with her, and the other is afraid of her or doesn't like her toughness.

Chen Afu was so happy that she took Chen Dabao and Zhui Feng to a place with few people. When they came to a deserted place, Chen Afu was far away from Dabao. Seeing that Dabao was collecting firewood seriously, she quickly dug a small hole with a machete and buried the three gems in it. Then he quickly filled it with soil, covered it with some leaves and branches, and threw the remaining ruby ​​into the branches.

Chen Afu got up and Chen Dabao called over and said there was a lot of firewood here. When Dabao came over, Chen Afu suddenly hit her foot by a branch, and pushed Dabao in front of her with an ouch.

Chen Dabao fell and gnawed his shit. He was just about to cry out in pain when what was that shiny thing in front of him? Under the sunlight falling from the branches and leaves, it sparkled with red light. How wide did he open his mouth, and his little paws pulled branches and leaves away as quickly as possible to pick up that thing. Why was this shiny little stone so like the gem worn on the head of a rich woman?

His heart beat wildly, and he clenched his little hands into fists, looking around furtively.

Fortunately, there is no enemy situation.

He turned around and squatted Chen Afula down hard, and whispered in her ear, Mom, look, my son has found a treasure. His tight little hand loosened a little.

Chen Afu suppressed his laughter and pretended to be shocked, and then whispered in Dabao's ear in surprise, Son, this is a ruby, worth a lot of money.

Dabao nervously put his little hand into Chen Afu's big hand and said, Mother, take it quickly. Let's stay here longer. If no owner comes to look for it, this thing will belong to us.

This guy is not very greedy. His behavior is already very good, after all, there is no police station at this time. There is no place to hand over the things you picked up. If you hand them over to the Yamen, they will definitely be stolen by those petty officials.

Chen Afu smiled and put the gems away and said, Okay, let's dig here again to see if there is anything valuable.

Chen Dabao glanced at Chen Afu approvingly and said in a low voice, Mom has thought carefully. My son will dig it right away.

He looked around again and saw that no one was coming, so he squatted down and started digging with a small knife. Yeah, three more small stones were dug out, two of them were red and one was green.

Dabao was so excited that he grabbed the three small stones into his hand as quickly as possible. Because of panic, I even grabbed half a handful of mud. He looked around again, but there was no sign of hostility. He nervously put his little hand into Chen Afu's big hand and whispered, Mom, put it away quickly.

The little kid's nervousness also infected Chen Afu. She looked around and saw that there was no enemy, so she whispered, Son, this thing is buried so deep. I don't know how long it has been lost by others. We will definitely not be able to wait for anyone. It means that if the owner cannot be found, then these things should belong to them.

Chen Dabao smiled brightly, nodded Yes, and the two of them walked out of the forest carrying firewood and Zhui Feng.

However, Chen Dabao would fall over every once in a while, then look carefully at the ground, and use his little hands to plucking the dead grass underground. When I didn't see anything shiny, I got up disappointed again.

Chen Afu was so funny. He really thought he could pick up a few gems just by falling down.

She held his hand and whispered, Dabao, such good luck as being able to pick up a treasure after a fall is rare. Most people will never encounter it in their lifetime.

After hearing this, Dabao stopped falling.

Go home and close the door. When Chen Ming and Wang heard about this incredible thing, they were both shocked. Then when I saw the gems that were still stuck with some dirt, their mouths were so wide open that they even stuttered when speaking.

This, this, this, how could such a thing happen!

Chen Ming said with emotion, Afu is indeed as blessed as the eminent monk said. Once she recovers from her illness, not only will our family be transformed, Dabao will also be able to encounter such good things. God, I can't believe it, I can't believe it. This One emerald and three rubies must be worth at least one hundred taels of silver.
