Chapter 286 Agate Mine (please subscribe for monthly pass)

"Miss Jiang is out!"

"It really came out!"

"Miss Jiang is so thin."

"This kind of figure is not good for giving birth..."

Hearing a commotion nearby, the Fang family brothers, as well as Jiayin and Liu Yu'er looked for their reputation, and saw a group of people coming out from the left side of the high platform.

A woman in a light red dress slowly walked up to the high platform, followed by a middle-aged man who looked like a butler, two servants and two maids.

In the end, there was a middle-aged man with a beard and a fat figure. From the looks of his clothes, he should be Mr. Jiang.

Jiayin and the others had good eyesight. When they saw the middle-aged man suspected to be Mr. Jiang, they frowned as they walked and looked down the stage.

The Jiang family lady walked forward without looking sideways, she didn't look at the audience, it can be said that she didn't look anywhere, she just walked forward with her head slightly lowered.

She looks very well-behaved, when she walks, the skirt only shakes slightly, and her feet are invisible.

Jiayin thought, this is the so-called lady of every family that Mr. Zhao said, right?I heard that there are many rules for those ladies.They all sit without shaking their knees, walking without shaking their skirts, smiling without showing their teeth, and so on.

In the past, Jiayin thought that only ladies from aristocratic families, scholarly families, or civil officials' families would strictly abide by it, but she didn't expect this lady from a merchant family to be like this.

Although the Jiang family has the name of Jiang Bancheng, it is still a merchant. According to the rules of Dayan, it is really not a big family, and it can barely be regarded as a big family.

After the Jiang family master and the Jiang family lady walked up to the high platform, they sat directly behind a table, and behind the table were two grand master chairs.

The two servant girls stood behind the young lady, and the servants stood on both sides of the high platform, in case someone went up and bumped into the old lady.

The housekeeper walked to the center of the high stage, stood still in the center, and said in a loud voice: "Today is the day when my young lady Xiuqiu invites relatives, thank you for coming here, I think everyone standing in front of the stage should also know the rules.

Under the age of 23, there must be no wives in the family, and no concubines in the house. Secondly, the family background must be clean, and there must be no bad habits, such as eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

Although I can't verify these things now, once you receive the hydrangea from my lady, my master will definitely send someone to investigate your household registration. Send it to the yamen and sue you for fraudulent marriage!

You can hear clearly, if there are the above circumstances, it is still too late to quit now. "

After speaking, he looked at the audience with sharp eyes. The audience looked at each other in blank dismay, and for a while, some of them retreated silently.

One should be very face-saving and shouted: "My age is in line with others, and I don't have a wife, but I have a common room at home. If it doesn't work, then forget it!"

The others didn't say anything, probably because there were some other reasons in the family.

After the few people withdrew, the number of people did not decrease much, and it was still a mess.

After all, there are quite a lot of people in this half-mountain city. Although the decision to throw a hydrangea ball to recruit relatives was very sudden, and people from far away did not have time to come, there are no less than a hundred people in this half-mountain city alone, so there are still crowds of people in front of the high platform. I can't see the faces of those people at all.

There is nothing particularly abrupt about the height, and they look quite neat.

At first Fang Zhiyuan and the others stood and watched the excitement, squeezed behind the crowd, and later found out that the height of the group of people they were in was generally much taller than the people in front of them, and some were too conspicuous, so they all found a place to sit down.

Jiayin and Liu Yuer sat on the shaft in front of the cart, and the Fang brothers sat on the bench beside them.

The benches belonged to hawkers who sold sugar water. Many hawkers found business opportunities and came here to sell sugar water or eat food. They even put a few benches here, just right there for them to sit on.

By the way, I ordered a few bowls of sugar water to drink, and they were also thirsty.

Jiayin continued to sit on the shaft of the car, which was higher than the bench, so she could see the scene on the high platform without being blocked by others.

The housekeeper said a few more words before announcing that the hydrangea throwing had begun.

Seeing the young lady of the Jiang family sitting behind the table being supported by a maid, she got up slowly, and another maid presented a gaudy hydrangea on a tray.

Jiayin couldn't see clearly from a distance, so she used her spiritual sense to "look" the hydrangea 360 degrees without dead ends.

I found that the workmanship of the hydrangea is quite exquisite, with many sides on it, and each side is embroidered with different patterns, which is very delicate, and the tassels are also in various colors.

To be honest, Jiayin quite likes such colorful things.

I don't know if this thing is for sale, if so, she wants to buy one back, it looks very festive.

At this moment, Miss Jiang's family lowered her head slightly and walked to the edge of the high platform.

Only then did Jiayin see Miss Jiang's appearance clearly. Miss Jiang's appearance was indeed as described by everyone.

His appearance is a little dull, which is quite ordinary, but his skin is very fair, and he looks spoiled.

The eyes are neither big nor small, the nose is neither straight nor slumped, and the mouth is neither big nor small, but it is quite comfortable to look at on a white and clean face.

In addition, this Miss Jiang family has a unique temperament, with a slender figure, she looks like a weak willow supporting the wind, and when she slightly frowns her eyebrows, it can arouse a man's desire to protect.

The man who was waiting to pick up the hydrangea ball and the crowd watching behind the stage unconsciously lowered their voices, as if they were afraid of scaring Miss Jiang.

Miss Jiang raised her eyes and looked down, as if she didn't know which direction to throw it, she hesitated holding the hydrangea.

I don't know who shouted, "Miss Jiang, I admire you, leave me here!"

As if a switch had been turned on, the young men below shouted together!
The Miss Jiang family seemed to be frightened, and her face turned slightly pale and she took a step back.

However, those men seem to be competing, and they can attract Miss Jiang's attention with their high voices. They are not afraid of scaring others, and they shout louder than each other.

In the end, Miss Jiang simply closed her eyes and held up the hydrangea, about to throw it with all her strength.

It was quiet for a moment below, holding my breath, as if waiting for the arrival of the hydrangea.

I saw Miss Jiang throwing the hydrangea forward with all her strength!
I don't know if Ms. Jiang used too much strength, the hydrangea flew straight towards the lively crowd!

The heads of the unmarried men in front followed the trajectory of the hydrangea, and then leaned back. Many of them almost fell on their backs. Some people in the back reacted quickly and ran after the hydrangea.

It's just that there were too many people watching the fun at the back, and it was impossible to squeeze through for a while, and the hydrangea jumped over the crowd and fell straight into... a woman's hand!
That's right, it's a woman, and a woman in her 40s and [-]s.

The woman hugged the hydrangea awkwardly, not knowing what to do for a while.

At this time, the young man in front had already pushed aside the crowd of onlookers and rushed towards her, so frightened that the woman subconsciously threw the hydrangea back, intending to throw it back on the stage and return it to Miss Jiang's family.

When the hydrangea flew back, the group of people immediately turned around and ran towards the hydrangea...

Jiayin felt that this scene was inexplicably familiar, and after thinking for a while, she finally remembered that this was a game that the children used to play when Da Huang first came to their Fangjia Village.

They often use a sepak takraw ball to lure rhubarb and its paparazzi in the village. If the takraw ball is thrown, rhubarb will lead the paparazzi to chase after it.

Another child throws it back and the dogs chase it back, just like the current scene...

Seeing that the hydrangea was about to be picked up by a short, dark man with eyebrows connected together.

When Jiayin saw this person's face, he was the kind of lazy and irritable person. Miss Jiang's family is so weak, if she marries this person, she probably won't have a good life in the future.

Moreover, this person is too ugly, even Jiayin feels his eyes are hot with his spiritual sense.

So he decided to be a good person, and directly used his spiritual consciousness to turn into a gust of wind, rolled up the hydrangea and flew to the stage, and let Miss Jiang's family throw it again.

As a result, the people below let out a burst of exclamation.

The person next to Jiayin shouted: "My God, sure enough, that hydrangea is enchanted! You see, the hydrangea looks like it has eyes, and it can hide itself!"

"Yeah, yeah, what grew up after that just now is indeed a bit too unsightly."

"This hydrangea can't be the destined person who is looking for Miss Jiang by himself?"

Jiayin raised her eyebrows and forgot about this.

It was rumored by these people that there was magic on the hydrangea. Jiayin had already seen it, and there was no magic. It was just an ordinary hydrangea. It was probably just a rumor.

But Jiayin used her spiritual sense to scan through the young people below, thinking that since they met by chance, why not help Miss Jiang's family and find the one with the best face for Miss Jiang's family.

Jiayin directly enveloped those unmarried men with spiritual consciousness, and found that one of them had some golden light on his body!

It shows that this person is kind-hearted and has meritorious deeds, and he looks gentle and moist, and his appearance can be regarded as above-average, which is just right for Miss Jiang's family.

Jiayin also looked at the face of Miss Jiang's family. Her luck was average, and her face was a bit dull. This life should be safe and smooth without too many twists and turns.

Seeing that the hydrangea seemed to have eyes, it bypassed many obstacles and hit the man who was not chasing the hydrangea like others.

The man looked at the hydrangea that looked like eyes and fell into his arms, feeling a little at a loss.

Seeing the people chasing the hydrangea running over, as if they were about to pounce on it, he was so frightened that he almost threw the hydrangea out of his hands.

Until this time, several servants came up and stopped those people directly, and the butler on the stage said loudly, "Since the hydrangea fell into the hands of this young master, it must be this young master."

The housekeeper had been watching him before, and found that this person seemed to be more pleasing to the eye.

And that Miss Jiang family seemed to be relieved, her heart was always ups and downs with the hydrangea.Thinking of this, I can't help but wonder, is there really magic power on the hydrangea?

It's not that the mad Taoist told them that he cast a spell on the Hydrangea. The original words of the Mad Taoist were, "Marriage is destined, Hydrangea will naturally help you find the most suitable marriage, and your illness will heal without medicine."

I don't know how it was passed on, but when it spread outside, it became that the hydrangea was cast by a mad Taoist, and it will help Miss Jiang find a lover.

The man who received the hydrangea was invited down by the servants of the Jiang family, and Mr. Jiang and Miss Jiang were also helped away by the maidservants. Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, everyone began to disperse slowly.

However, Jiayin and the others were still in no hurry to leave. Their sugar water hadn't been finished yet, and they didn't expect it to end so soon.

While drinking sugar water, he inquired about the situation in Banshan City with the peddler who had been in Banshan City all year round.

The peddler said to them: "If you ask me, you are asking the right person. In addition to the famous jadeite cake, our Banshan City also produces a kind of agate.

The agate was sold to the capital, and the agate mine was at the foot of the half-mountain that was split open, and it was also the property of the Jiang family. "

Fang Zhiwen frowned slightly, "How did this mineral fall into the hands of merchants? Isn't it all under the control of the imperial court?"

The peddler obviously knew something about the situation, and said to them: "This guest officer doesn't know that the land at the foot of the mountain is the Jiang family's land, and not far away is the Jiang family's ancestral grave, which has been buried for generations. there.

Later, there was a heavy rain, and many stones washed down from the mountain wall, and the stones hit the ground and cracked. Unexpectedly, there was a red stone heart inside, which was very beautiful.

After picking it up and having it appraised by an experienced master, I realized that it is red agate, and the color is bright red and very pure.

Originally, the imperial court wanted to take over, but they couldn't pick up the family's ancestral grave, so they assigned that small piece to the Jiang family.

The imperial court thought that since there were agate mines on that mountain, there should be other places, so they didn't compete with the Jiang family for that small piece of land.

Unexpectedly, the imperial court organized personnel to dig other places for dozens of days, but not a single piece of agate was found, only the small area behind Jiang's ancestor's grave.

But what was said at the time had a written proof, and it was hard to go back on it. After all, the Jiang family also collected taxes, and the Jiang family also promised to pay taxes every year, so they had to admit it.

The output of agate is not large, but it has become a feature of our side. I heard that there are agates in other places, but the colors are more mixed.

Most of them are yellowish red, or transparent, not pure red like ours, so the selling price is quite high.

Afterwards, relying on agate, the Jiang family really made a fortune. They bought half of the shops in the city and rented them out. You two girls must like the jewelry made of agate. If you are interested, you can go to the Jiang family jewelry store.

A few people nodded, so that's the case, they just said, there are thousands of acres of land outside, and there are shops in half the city. If the Jiang family is not the ancestors, they have property and money, and they must have some exclusive business.

Jiayin and the others also know that jade and agate are very popular among high-ranking officials and nobles, especially the red agate, which is especially liked by the ladies and the royal family.

Since ancient times, red has represented festive occasions, and it is good for gift giving or personal use.

Seeing that all the people around were scattered except for chatting in twos and threes, the group of them also got up and prepared to go shopping.
