Chapter 550

"Is it true?"

Xia Xi's words fall, the old woman can't believe her ears, Zheng Er also fiercely raises her head and looks at Xia Xi.

"Of course."

"That would be wonderful."

The old woman was so happy that she didn't know what to say. She yelled, "his father, his father, come out quickly!"

"Here it is

The old man had been hiding in the house and didn't want to come out. He had to come out with a bent body and half bent. When he came to the door, he coughed twice.

Afraid of Xia Xi they dislike, did not dare to go out of the door, standing in the door, is not excited, "thank you a few noble, thank you a few noble."

He was wearing a single robe, which could barely cover his knees. There were patches on it, layer by layer. He stood there timidly, with a smile on his face.

The old woman was so excited that she said something incoherent, "his father, did you hear what you said?"

"Yes, yes."

The old man really replied, thanks again, "thank you very much, thank you very much."

"Thank you very much. In the future, I'll have people come to collect your agate stones from time to time. The better the appearance, the more the silver."

"Thank you very much, thank you very much."

The old woman and ZHENG'ER also said thanks, especially the old woman, who wanted to kneel down for Xia Xi.

There are three members in her family. She is in poor health and can't do heavy work. Zhenger is also in bad health and can't earn money. There is no income in her family, so the conditions are not good.

She also inadvertently saw that the agate stones were beautiful, and she wanted to pick them up and sell them in the city. If she could sell them for a few Wen, it would be a few Wen, so that she could subsidize her family. Unexpectedly, she met a noble man, and now she has hope.

Xia Xi took out a few dimes of silver coins and put them on the table. She pushed them forward and said, "you can use these silver coins first as deposit. Next time we come to collect agate stones, we will deduct them from the payment for goods."

"This..."

The old woman wants it, but she doesn't dare to. Zhenger should have said that she is a daughter-in-law for a long time. But no one in the family or matchmaker wants to come. With this money, she can turn over the house and tell Zhenger about her daughter-in-law.

But if the agate stone they picked up later can't get into the eyes of the noble, they will have no silver to return.

Look at the old man.

The old man couldn't move his eyes when he was staring at the silver. The silver that the old woman had just brought back was enough to shock him. These are more than just now.

Seeing this, the old woman gritted her teeth, went forward and held the silver in her hand, saying thanks again.

Xia Xi three people want to get up, a slightly old voice came from the gate of the courtyard, "Zheng Er Niang, is there a distinguished guest at home?"

Words fall, the visitor has already entered the yard, the eye looks at Xia Xi three people.

First, I saw Xia Wen, then Xia Xi, and finally Xiang Fengche. After a moment, I quickly took back my eyes.

Xia Xi also looked at him, 40 or 50 years old, wearing a single blue robe to the heel, full of the smell of books.

"Yin Xiucai, here you are."

Seeing him, the old woman was smiling.

Yin Xiucai handed her a robe on her arm. "I accidentally hung a hole in the robe. I don't want it. You can mend it for ZHENG'ER."

"Ah."

The old woman took over, "thanks to your care for so many years."

Yin Xiucai didn't answer her, "are these

"Oh, yes..."

The old woman opened her mouth to say it, but she was afraid of being heard. She looked around. Then she lowered her voice and said, "these are the noble people I met in Fucheng. They came to collect agate stones."

"Agate stone?"

Yin Xiucai frowned. There was a lot of that thing in the river. He had never heard that someone would come to collect it.

Toward the three arched hands, "dare to ask a few, from where? What's the use of collecting this agate stone? "

"Pingyang County, I'm sorry I can't tell you what's the use."

Yin Xiucai looks at Xia Xi, who is also looking at him.

Xia Xi's eyes were sharp. She saw that the hole in her robe was just a small corner. She could hardly see it when she mended it. The scholar should have deliberately found such an excuse to send it to the family.

A cold look fell on Yin Xiucai. Yin Xiucai was so excited that she withdrew her gaze from Xia Xi. "I don't know how to collect this agate stone?"

"Pay the deposit first, then get the goods."

Yin Xiucai was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at the old woman. The old woman nodded and showed him a few dimes of silver in her hand.

Yin Xiucai arched his hand again, "it's very good. I'm a villain. Please forgive me."

"Nothing."

Xia Xi magnanimous wave hand, "we have never come, you have vigilance for them is right."

Did not come to Xia Xi will say so directly, Yin Xiucai was stunned again.

"It's getting late. It's time for us to go back."

Xia Wen and Feng Che stood up and said, "let's go."

The old woman's family sent the three people out and saw that they got on the carriage and disappeared. Then they went back to the yard. Seeing that the three bowls of water on the table didn't move, the old woman slapped her head anxiously. "Look at my head, how can I forget to let the expensive people drink water?"

"They don't drink."

Yin Xiucai just sat in the position where Xia Wenzao had just finished. After that, she said, "Zheng erniang, tell me how you met them?"

……

The three returned to Fucheng and came to the entrance of the jewelry shop again. It was dark. Almost all the shops on the street were closed. Only the jewelry shop was still open. The carriage stopped at the entrance. The people inside heard the news and came out. Seeing that it was Xia Wen, they were smiling. "Boss Xia, you're back. Just a moment, I'll call our shopkeeper."

Xia Wen nodded, and the man ran to the back and called. Soon the shopkeeper came quickly, "boss Xia, I've arranged the accommodation for you. It's in the inn opposite. I'll show you there."

Xia Wen has got out of the carriage and said, "thank you, manager Liu."

The shopkeeper laughs, "boss Xia said it's polite. It's the rule of our business. It's not. I'll arrange your accommodation when it's late."

During the conversation, he led a few people to the inn. He had already made a reservation and led them up. After the arrangement, he went back to the jewelry shop.

Let the Inn staff bring water up, each of them combed, and ordered rice. After eating, Xia Xi poured out the agate stones again, and looked at them again piece by piece, and discussed with Xia Wen what kind of jewelry to make.

More than half of the basket, more than 100 yuan, almost all can be used.

Xia Wen took a piece and rubbed it in his hand, sighing, "these agate stones are really good, but we don't have a jewelry master now, so we put them back."

"Don't worry. I'll draw the drawings when I go back. It's not too late to find the jewelry master."

"It can only be so."

"By the way..."

Xia Xi thought of something, "this time, we'll cut down on jewelry. In the future, we'll focus on agate jewelry."
