The eldest princess pampered the beautiful, strong and miserable proton queen

"It's Nanzhu." Jiang Fuguang was a little surprised.

Qi Yanhuai smiled: "Hepu Sixth Institute, all the first-class pearls collected over the years are here. Each pearl is carefully selected by my elder brother. It is round and round, magnificent and colorful, and bright and bright."

South pearls are produced in Hepu, Guangxi, Lingnan. The output is relatively large, but the pearls are divided into nine and eight grades. The best first-grade top grade is rare in the world. It is rare to collect thousands of snails.

Lingnan is the territory of the Qi family. The eldest brother collected all the best southern pearls and saved them for many years before he managed to accumulate such a box. It took a lot of effort.

"It's so beautiful." Jiang Fuguang twisted a bead. Under the mottled light and shadow, the golden-pink haze was flowing on the crystal clear bead. It was really beautiful.

She turned the bead and found that the body of the bead was flowing with light, and the deep and shallow gold powder was as gorgeous as the rays of light blooming on the horizon.

"I heard that Nanzhu is as bright as mist, and it's brilliant, so it's also called Beihai Golden Sauvignon. It really deserves its name!"

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the east pearl is not as good as the west pearl, and the west pearl is not as good as the south pearl." The south pearl has been respected in all dynasties.

Nanzhu is dignified and strong, and its color remains unchanged for a long time. It is a national treasure. The saying that "people grow old and pearls turn yellow" does not apply to Nanzhu.

The mining of southern pearls began in the Zhou Dynasty. Many tragedies have occurred due to pearl fishing in the past dynasties. The famous fish eyes mixed with pearls was due to the imperial court's excessive pearl fishing and depleting the lake. The Hepu pearl divers took pearls with enough fish eyes in order to survive.

During the reign of the late Emperor, the quantity and quality of the Nanzhu that had been offered as tribute from Hepu failed to meet the tribute. The locals suspected that they were hiding the pearls and killed thousands of pearl divers. Rivers of blood flowed in the Hepu area and the people wailed.

After my father ascended the throne, he learned that the late emperor was depleting the lakes for fishing, which led to the decrease in the number of southern pearls. He pitied the suffering of pearl fishing and did not allow large-scale pearl fishing. He also sent troops to guard Hepu Liusuo and banned illegal mining by the people. The Hepu Liuzuo pearl quarries had to do this. Recuperate and recuperate.

But even so, the number of Nanzhu tributes in Hepu over the years is still not large.

Qi Yanhuai saw the curiosity on her face: "Don't act like you have never seen the world. Although the number of Nanzhu that was brought to the palace as tribute in the past was not large, as far as I know, you can get two or three pearls every time." "

Jiang Fuguang said confidently: "Those are not gifts from my eldest brother."

Qi Yanhuai was speechless.

"First-class pearls are divided into high and low grades. The quality of the pearls given by the palace is not as good as these," Jiang Fuguang continued. "There are not many southern pearls obtained from the queen. My mother-in-law was in poor health in the early years. I used them all to make incense and gave them to my mother-in-law and my father."

Nanzhu calms the mind, calms the soul, clears away heat and replenishes yin. It is very effective for my mother. How can she be willing to keep it for herself?

Qi Yanhuai suppressed his smile: "Don't worry about it this time. I'll make some jewelry for myself later. The majestic princess doesn't even have a piece of Nanzhu jewelry. She won't be afraid of people laughing at her if she spreads the news. It can also be used as medicine and fragrance. By the way, I also heard that the powder made from southern pearl powder can moisturize the face and keep people youthful forever. It is better than jade cream and can also clear the mind and improve the eyesight. When taking a nap, remember to hold a pearl in your mouth and drink a cup of pearl powder before going to bed. It can also relieve fatigue. You can use as much as you want in the future."

From now on, there will be no one in the palace to help Guang. All the Nanzhu obtained do not need to be paid tribute to the palace, and will be rewarded by the palace. All the Nanzhu belong to Ayan.

Jiang Fuguang carefully fastened the lock plate and asked Yingluo to put Nanzhu away.

Qi Yanhuai looked around and didn't see the shadow guard who was inseparable from Jiang Fuguang. He couldn't help but wonder: "Why didn't you see Jun Xuan?"

There was a smile in Jiang Fuguang's eyes: "I'm going to prepare my bags for the return trip. I won't see anyone at all until night."

Qi Yanhuai sighed: "The weather outside Dali is getting colder and colder. We really need to be well prepared. When do you plan to leave?"

"Two days later," Jiang Fuguang felt a little melancholy as he thought about this farewell and how long it would take to see each other again. "Any later, the weather will be colder and the journey will become more difficult." He has been away from Beijing for so long, and he doesn't know the situation in the DPRK. how.

The southwest is not under the rule of the Southern Dynasty, and there is no straight road. It takes at least ten days for the message to be transmitted. It is the middle of winter, so the message will inevitably lag behind.

Jiang Fuguang was really worried and had to rush back as soon as possible.

Qi Yanhuai's heart ached with pain: "It's freezing outside right now, and it's even snowing in some areas of Lingnan. It's covered in heavy snow, and the road is getting more and more difficult. It's a terrible sin. If I had known, I wouldn't have supported coming to your southwest." ”

Jiang Fuguang curled his lips and smiled playfully: "We have been apart for three days. We should look at each other with new eyes. A Yan is no longer the Amen under Wu."

Qi Yanhuai couldn't help but fell silent.

In just over a month, Ayan has gone through hardships and life and death, but she no longer has the squeamish energy she once had, and her swaying brows have gained a bit more determination and calmness. She has lost a lot of weight. She has a petite figure and is naturally thin. The bones appear thin and delicate.

However, no one would associate her with 'weakness' anymore. Instead, they would think of her as having a superb style, just like a green jade bamboo, straight on the outside and tough on the inside, with a rustling voice and a strong and straight momentum, combining hardness and softness, and bearing down on the snow. If it doesn’t fall, it won’t be broken by the wind.

Jiang Fuguang sighed: "It's a pity that I don't have the chance to meet my eldest brother."

Qi Yanhuai comforted her: "When the war in the southwest is calmed down, General Zhengnan will come to Beijing to pay homage to His Majesty, and we will see you later."

Jiang Fuguang still felt regretful.

"He's still the same." Seeing that she still looked sad, Qi Yanhuai felt a little unhappy, "He just has an extra scar on his face."

Jiang Fuguang's eyes widened: "What's going on? Why didn't eldest brother mention it in the letter?"

Qi Yanhuai raised his eyebrows: "What's the point? He always disliked that he looked like his aunt before. As a military general, he was not powerful at all. This time he has an extra scar on his face. He doesn't know how happy he is."

Jiang Fuguang felt sad. His eldest brother was more talented in literature when he was a child. At that time, the Qi family was at the peak of his power, and the family did not force him.

Later, the second uncle died in the war, and the grandfather fell ill. As the eldest son of the family, the eldest brother joined the army without hesitation. In just 15 years, he became a experienced general in the southern expedition and a well-known Confucian general in the army. 26 years old, but still not married.

She often wrote to ask, and the eldest brother always replied in an understatement: South Vietnam is not destroyed, why do we call it home? !

Destroying South Vietnam is the obsession in the hearts of every Qi family member.

It is a national hatred and a family hatred.

But in fact, the eldest brother's marriage was delayed. Due to his grandfather's poor health, the eldest aunt stayed in Beijing to take care of him all year round. As a man, the eldest uncle naturally couldn't take care of the love between his children. The eldest brother stayed in the army all day, and even only If you can't see the female mosquito, how can you talk about marriage?
My eldest aunt has never thought about finding a good girl in Beijing, but my eldest brother has been stationed in Lingnan all year round, and my aunt has also experienced the bitterness of being separated from her husband all the time. How can the girl next to her also suffer this kind of pain?
A little popular science: The difference between the East Pearl and the South Pearl. The East Pearl is produced in the northeast, so it is called the East Pearl. The South Pearl is produced in the southwest, and it is also called the South Pearl.

In fact, the mining history of Nanzhu is longer than that of Dongzhu, and its quality is slightly better than that of Dongzhu. Its medicinal value is also extremely high. It can be regarded as a treasure in terms of both beauty and practical value. It has been used in all dynasties. Beads are respected.

After Lao Zhu of the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Yuan Dynasty, his jurisdiction over the Northeast reached an unprecedented level in the past dynasties, so the mining of Dongzhu became quite stable.

Because Dongzhu has been rarely mined in the past, the output of Dongzhu is more than that of Nanzhu, and its quality is better than that of Nanzhu, which has been mined for thousands of years. The reputation of Dongzhu has gradually surpassed that of Nanzhu.In the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu nobles' love and admiration for Dongzhu reached a new height, causing Dongzhu to be exhausted.
