Chapter 68 It turns out to be a diamond
When Qian Xiaoxing saw that the tutor left, he couldn't see the carriage he sent to him. He secretly cursed and ignored the others after doing things. Qian Xiaoxing cursed and picked up the stones and looked at them. What exactly was it? What would a transparent stone be? He picked up one and shone in the sun. When he saw the stone reflecting a brilliant light. Damn, it was actually a diamond.
Qian Xiaoxing really couldn't believe that the dozens of diamonds in his hand were actually diamonds, and they were all so big. No wonder, in modern times, I have never seen such a large diamond before, and I only saw those diamond-set rings in department stores. Those diamonds were pitiful, so I didn't think that these were diamonds at the first time.
Qian Xiaoxing looked at these diamonds and they should be raw stones and had not been polished, so there were only a few angles that reflected brilliant light. For modern times, each diamond was worth tens of millions, but in ancient times, it was considered to be some rare stones, and no one would buy them if they wanted to sell them.
Qian Xiaoxing put the diamond back into a small cloth bag and shook his head helplessly. This bag of diamonds worth hundreds of millions was not valuable at all in ancient times. Of course, the emperor would not reward him with real valuables.
Qian Xiaoxing was thinking, but saw a few people calling him in front. It turned out that it was Fang Ying, Xiao Cui and Butler Lu were all here.
"Why are you here?" Qian Xiaoxing ran over quickly and asked.
"Are you here to pick you up? Let's talk about what's going on?" Fang Ying asked anxiously.
"Yes, Brother Xing, we have been waiting for you all morning, let's talk about it quickly." Lan Xiaocui also urged.
"There is good news and bad news, what should I listen to?" Qian Xiaoxing said slowly.
"Good news." Fang Ying said.
"The good news is that the Emperor of Hu was exempted from silk and satin, and the tribute of cattle and sheep was enough for only one thousand taels of gold."
"Wow, that's great." Fang Ying couldn't help but jump up after hearing this: "9527, I'm really right about you, it's very very very good!"
After hearing this, Lan Xiaocui and Butler Lu were also very happy. One hundred pieces of silk and thousands of cattle and sheep were worth four or five hundred taels of gold.
"What is that bad news?" asked Butler Lu.
"The old man who was the Grand Tutor vowed two air conditioners and said that he would install two more for free. I would first agree that I would not pay the money, and the twenty taels of silver I deserve would not be less than me." Qian Xiaoxing said.
"Hey, why are you so unpatriotic and unable to contribute to the country?" Fang Ying immediately retorted.
"Have I made not enough contributions? I have exempted so many tributes for the country." Qian Xiaoxing didn't expect Fang Ying to care about the money with him and said angrily.
"Then can't you pay more money?" Fang Ying obviously thought that Qian Xiaoxing should pay: "I said you don't want to marry Xiao Cui?"
"I, I'll pay." Qian Xiaoxing was grabbed by Fang Ying and said helplessly. In fact, he only earned twenty taels less, which is a small meaning.
"That's right, I didn't disappoint my expectations for you."
"Go away, if you weren't for your amazing shady feet, I would have turned against you." Qian Xiaoxing teased.
"Today is worth celebrating. 9527 invites us to have a meal at a hotel, right?" Fang Ying suggested.
"Okay, I'll treat you to pay."
"I said why do you value money so much? You can't invite us?" Fang Ying smiled.
"This is exactly what I want to say to you." Qian Xiaoxing also smiled.
"Well, I won't go to a restaurant anymore, so I'd better go back and eat." Fang Ying led everyone to the courtyard.
Halfway through the way, he saw Ling Yi drinking tea in a teahouse on the roadside. When he saw Qian Xiaoxing and his group, he hurried out: "Brother Qian, I have waited for you. I went to your house to find you. I thought you were still in the palace and didn't come back, so I'm waiting for you here."
"What's Brother Ling asking me for?" Qian Xiaoxing asked in confusion.
"It's the matter with that tricycle. The car is almost ready to be installed. Go and check it out when you have time." Ling Yi said.
"Brother Ling doesn't look at the time. It's almost lunch. Let's go before eating. You can have a meal with us, too." Qian Xiaoxing invited.
"Oh, it's noon. Miss Fang and the others have not been to my house yet. Why don't you go to my house for a meal?" Ling Yi thought that the car was now placed at his house and he could test the car immediately after dinner.
"Okay, someone threw the pillow just as he was about to go to bed, so you're welcome, go." Qian Xiaoxing waved his hand and followed Ling Yi to Ling Mansion.
Everyone walked to the hall to sit down, but heard the sound of piano and singing faintly from the side. Qian Xiaoxing looked for the sound and listened to it, and heard a beautiful voice singing with the sound of piano: "Don't blame anyone if your love is broken, just because the encounter is too beautiful. Even if you shed tears and hurt your heart to the end, it doesn't matter..."
Qian Xiaoxing heard it was Ling Shan's voice. It seemed that this song was hidden from her mood, but what should I do? Do I accept it regardless of everything? Qian Xiaoxing still shook his head. Maybe he would wait until he became rich and made money that day before he could make money.
Ling Yi also came over at this time and teased, "Brother Qian, are you ready to be my brother-in-law?"
"The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, and the family is still there. Let's talk about it in a few years." Qian Xiaoxing now defines himself as a member of the State of Si. Of course, he said this purely an excuse.
"Brother Qian, don't let my sister wait too long. I'll go and ask her to have a meal." Ling Yi said and walked into the study.
Soon, the sound of the piano stopped. When Ling Shan heard Qian Xiaoxing coming, she ran out quickly, but suddenly bumped into Qian Xiaoxing's arms standing outside the door. She hurriedly retreated and then lowered her head and said, "Big Pervert, you, you are here."
Qian Xiaoxing looked at Ling Shan and naturally showed ambiguous eyes like a lover. Suddenly, his heart, which was originally sealed tightly, also stirred up some turbulence. He calmed down and said, "Oh, it hurts so much. Why are you doing so fast? I was injured by you when I hit me."
Qian Xiaoxing squatted down in pain. Ling Shan didn't expect that her collision would be so serious. She hurriedly squatted down anxiously and checked: "Is it hit there? Where is it hurt?"
"You, are the two weapons on your chest so powerful, I feel sorry for the impact." Qian Xiaoxing pretended to be painful and gritted his teeth.
Ling Shan just realized that Qian Xiaoxing was teasing her, shy and anxious, and waved her hand and hit Qian Xiaoxing: "Kill you, a big pervert, a bad pervert."
"Okay, Brother Qian, don't tease Shan'er, go for dinner, don't let your lady wait for a long time." Ling Yi also walked out of the study and said.
"Okay, okay." Qian Xiaoxing avoided Ling Shan's fist and ran back to the living room like a flying one.
After a while, Ling Yi and his sister also came to the living room. Everyone was very familiar with playing mahjong. When they saw it, they were very intimate. Fang Ying pulled Ling Shan and started chatting. I have to say that mahjong is not only a fun thing, but also a very good tool to bring people closer together.
"Sister Shan, your house is so beautiful." Fang Ying sighed.
"The decoration of this yard doesn't cost much. It's normal. Why don't my sister move in with me? It's more lively in the future?" Ling Shan suggested.
"This is not needed." Fang Ying thought about his habit of living in a small courtyard house and was free. After all, other people's families have to take some problems into consideration.
At this time, Ling Yi said: "I just asked the kitchen to add a few more dishes, and it will be fine in a while. Everyone should make some tea first."
Qian Xiaoxing took out a small cloth bag, poured out a diamond and placed it on the table, and asked, "This is what I answered the emperor's question. He gave me the reward. Do you know me?"
"Brother Xing, those ministers answered the wrong questions. Did you answer them correctly? They are so awesome." Lan Xiaocui clenched her fists in front of her chest and said in great admiration.
"Shh, keep a low profile." Qian Xiaoxing teased her fingers.
Ling Yi picked up a larger diamond and looked at it, saying, "This should be diamond, which is very hard. I saw it when I bought gems in jewelry stores before, but this diamond is difficult to process into a round shape, and it is not suitable for jewelry."
Ling Yi was indeed knowledgeable and knew all the basic characteristics of diamonds. When Qian Xiaoxing heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Ling, how much is this diamond price? Are you seeing such a big one?"
"This price is cheap, not as expensive as jade. It is rarely seen with large ones, but it is common to this size." Ling Yi picked up a diamond the size of a broad bean on the table and said.
"The price is very cheap?" Qian Xiaoxing asked again, not knowing whether to be excited or disappointed, "Do you think this diamond is going to be processed into a circle?"
"Yes, jewelry needs a round surface, so that it is beautiful." Ling Yi explained.
