Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

After returning to the car, Liu Xu didn't have time to talk to Qiao Yu and the others, and carefully opened the small wooden box.

Suddenly, Liu Xu felt as if her eyes were dazzled. There was a box full of diamonds of all colors, many of which were the size of pigeon eggs. There were even the most precious blue diamonds, not to mention red and pink diamonds.

Liu Xu couldn't help swallowing. She had heard that in the early days, Jayne and his hometown was full of diamonds, and it was common to exchange a box of diamonds for glass. She thought it was just a rumor at the time, but today she saw it for herself.

This is like being in a mountain of treasure but not knowing how rich it is.

Qiaoyu and Huanxi were also stunned by the beautiful diamonds in front of them.

"Miss, these are all gems, right?" Huanxi stuttered.

"Miss, did you buy this from that foreign gang member?" Qiaoyu asked after calming herself down.

Liu Xu carefully closed the box and put it away. Then she looked at the two of them with surprise and laughed in a low voice, "Hehehehe, Huanxi, Qiaoyu, your lady is rich, hahahaha!"

He Feng and He Lei both had martial arts skills, so even though Liu Xu's voice was very low, they still heard it. The two brothers looked at each other, both a little curious about what the black boy had given the young lady.

Just as he was wondering, he saw Liu Xu lift the car curtain and said, "Brother He Lei, go ask Jayne and the others when they are leaving. Also, ask him quietly if he still has this thing. If he still has it, we will buy it. Well... as for the price, the one like the one just now is one hundred taels per box. If it's this colorless one, it's fifty taels per box." As Liu Xu spoke, she took out a transparent diamond from the wooden box and showed it to He Lei.

Then, without paying any attention to the stunned looks of the two men, he took out a stack of silver bills from his pocket, each worth one hundred taels, and counted out ten to give to He Lei.

Liu Xu thought to herself, it’s a good thing that she brought two thousand taels with her when she went out, otherwise she would have to watch the duck in her mouth fly away?

Seeing He Lei still standing there in a daze after taking the banknote, he reached out and patted his hand, "Go quickly, don't look back because they are gone! By the way, tell him that if there are more in the future, send them to Zhenxiu Pavilion and report my name, and remember to leave him the address."

He Lei finally came to his senses, agreed, and quickly went to the riverside.

"Miss?" After watching his brother leave, He Feng looked at Liu Xu in confusion.

"Hehe, Brother He Feng, we really have a big harvest today! I'll tell you when we go back later!" Liu Xu smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a line, just like a little fox.

He Feng said nothing more after hearing this. He just sat quietly by the edge of the car waiting for his brother to come back.

Liu Xu retreated back into the carriage, and began to think about how to make these diamonds create value for her. If she wanted these things to be more valuable, she had to inlay them into jewelry, but... she could plagiarize some jewelry styles she had seen in her previous life, but who could she find to do it?

Chang Yifei? Liu Xu shook her head. You can't put all your eggs in one basket! Moreover, Chang Yifei's family can only be said to have a say in Yongshun Prefecture. Looking at the entire Dongsheng Kingdom, they are still far behind.

I wonder if Mu Lingxuan has such a connection? Liu Xu stroked his chin and thought. The Mu family can be considered a noble family. Even if the family does not have such an industry, they should know such a master, right? Didn't those TV dramas say that such wealthy families specialize in custom-made clothes and jewelry?

Liu Xu nodded, and clasped his hands together: I'll write to him when I get back, and at worst I can share some with him! Besides, I have to find a way to sell those colored diamonds there to a wealthy family!

Thinking about the profits these diamonds would bring her in the future, Liu Xu couldn't stop smiling.

Qiaoyu and Huanxi looked at each other, noting their young lady's money-obsessed look, and both were reluctant to interrupt her.

Two incense sticks later, He Feng saw from afar that his brother was holding a box that was several times bigger than the one the young lady had just carried. A black boy was following him, also holding a box.

"Miss, Xiaolei and the others are back!" He Feng rushed into the carriage.

Liu Xu came back to her senses after hearing this and pulled open the car curtain.

Seeing He Lei and the other man getting closer and closer to the carriage, his eyes lit up.

Soon He Lei and his companion arrived in front of the carriage.

When he got closer, he saw that the box was not very big, about the size of two shoe boxes. He Feng took it, huh? It was still a little heavy. He immediately handed it to Qiao Yu and put it in the car.

"Brother Jie En, why are you here?" Liu Xu asked with a smile. Forget it, this person is the type whoever feeds you is your mother, and in the blink of an eye, he is Brother Jie En...

"Baba said, we, thank you!" Jayne grinned. His white teeth were particularly eye-catching against his dark skin, making people feel bright and warm.

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. You gave me such a beautiful stone, and I haven't thanked you yet!" Liu Xu also showed his eight teeth, waved his hand and smiled.

"By the way, when are you planning to leave?" Liu Xu blinked and asked with her head tilted.

"Two days later," Jayne said, and then added, "Uncle Dean will buy pottery and cloth!"

Oh, it should be ceramics and cloth! Liu Xu understood and nodded.

"Will you come again in the future?" Liu Xu asked again with a harmless look.

"I don't know..." Jayne shook his head, then thought for a moment and added, "Come, find Liu and Shitou!"

Liuxu and the others understood: I don’t know, come and find Liuxu to give you stones!

Liu Xu's smile became even brighter: "Yeah, then you must remember to come to the Treasure Pavilion to find me when the time comes. I will treat you to delicious food!"

Thinking of him saying he wanted to buy cloth, Liu Xu rolled her eyes and added, "By the way, Jayne, if you want to buy cloth, you can go to the Jixiang Cloth Shop on West Street. Just say it was Liu Xu who introduced you. The shopkeeper will give you a discount, which means it's cheaper!"

"West Street, auspicious, lucky, cloth, cheap!" Although Liu Xu said it unhappily, Jayne still pondered for a while, and the result was... When several people heard Jayne repeating his words, they couldn't help but twitching their lips.

"It's West Street, auspicious, and cheap! Remember?" He Lei couldn't help rolling his eyes and reminded.

Jayne nodded, "Thank you, Liu!"

"You're welcome!" Liu Xu looked up at the sky and apologized to Jayne, "Brother Jayne, I'm sorry, it's getting late and I have to go home. You should get back to the boat too! I hope we can meet again!" If she didn't leave now, she would have to go back in the dark, so she said goodbye quickly.

"Goodbye, Brother Jayne! I wish you a safe journey!" Liu Xu waved to Jayne.

"Goodbye!" Jayne also waved like her.

He Lei quickly climbed onto the edge of the carriage. The two brothers bowed to Jayne and turned the carriage around and left.

Jayne was left standing there, somewhat dazedly imitating He Feng and the others to bow. After a while, until he saw that Liu Xu and the others' car had gone far away, he scratched his head and turned to walk towards the river.

On the other side, Liu Xu and his companions quickly left Qinghe County, and He Feng drove the carriage quickly towards Yuyang Town.

In the carriage, Liu Xu was sitting on the floor, admiring the other two boxes of diamonds that He Lei had brought back. Qiao Yu was afraid that she would get cold, so she put a cushion under her.

Looking at the two shiny boxes in front of me, although most of them are transparent, there are so many of them! If this were to happen in modern times, I would never dare to think about it.

He Lei was also sitting next to them, reporting the previous situation to Liu Xu.

"Miss, Jayne's father is called Moy, and they came with a man called Dean. Dean should be a small manager of their caravan, and he speaks Chinese OK. I asked around, and I learned that they traveled across the ocean for almost two years, mainly bringing some spices and ivory, hoping to exchange for some ceramics, cloth, and handicrafts. These stones belong to Moy and his son. Dean said that these stones are worthless, and they have exchanged some in other continents, and only these are left. What Jayne gave you was what he picked himself, and he saved it because he was reluctant to sell it because it was beautiful. As for what we bought before, those were their food, because Moy caught a cold, and it has been recurring for half a month, and Jayne has almost used up the money in his hand, so he wants to sell some to get money for his father's treatment. The seeds are also what they left after eating before."

He Lei paused, then said: "Moyi only took one hundred taels for these stones, and I forced him to give it to me..." After He Lei finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xu cautiously and handed the remaining silver notes back.

"What, only one hundred taels? Oh my God, Brother He Lei, we're going to make a fortune! Hahahaha." Liu Xu took the money, put her hands on her hips and laughed.

If she wasn't in the carriage, she would probably have jumped around for a while!

"Miss, don't you blame me for making the decision on my own? Maybe... maybe I don't even have to pay..." He Lei looked up at Liu Xu, then lowered his head and muttered softly.

But since they were close, Liu Xu heard everything clearly. She stopped laughing, reached out and patted He Lei's arm (she was too short to pat his shoulder, and even shorter when sitting), "Brother He Lei, you did the right thing! They didn't know the value, so they gave me a more precious box. If we knew that this thing was worth a lot and didn't give them a penny, it would be a bit too much. Now, although one hundred taels is a little less, it is a mutual agreement, and the payment is done. Even if they know the value of this thing in the future, they won't have too much resentment! However, I don't know if there will be such a good thing in the future!" Liu Xu sighed. They came across the ocean, and they might not be able to run away many times in their lifetime. After all, it is too dangerous. Who knows if they will come again.

"Okay, stop worrying about it. Let's not talk about these boxes of diamonds. Those bags of stuff you put in the back are the real good stuff for us!" Liu Xu said mysteriously!

"Ah? Miss, didn't they say that it was food? How good of a thing is that?" He Lei scratched his head.

Liu Xu rolled her eyes. "You also know that it is food! Isn't food precious? You know, these gems and the like are external things. If you really encounter a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, these foods are life-saving things!"

Seeing that he and his two maids seemed to understand, she continued, "Think about it, if we grow these, won't our Dongsheng Kingdom have two more kinds of food in the future? Won't everyone be hungry? Don't you think it's precious? As for those seeds, one is fruit and the other is vegetable. We can grow them and sell them in the future. Isn't it delicious?"

"Precious! Fragrant!" The three of them nodded in unison.

At this time, none of the three people thought about how their young lady knew that those seeds were one kind of fruit and the other kind of vegetable!

Even He Feng outside seemed to have forgotten.

In winter, it gets dark early. No matter how fast the carriage drove, by the time we arrived at Yuliang Town, it was already just slightly light.

The city gate was closed, so they had to take a detour back to Liujia Village.
