PWDLAW Chapter 468: Pearls

 Chapter 468: Pearls

"Uncle Xing, you're here!" Chu Ziluo happily reached out to pull Chu Xing and invited him in.


Chu Xing also couldn't stop smiling. He casually took out a round fan from a simple coarse cloth package behind him and handed it to Chu Ziluo.


"Ziluo, take a look. Do you like it? This is a delicate fan that Uncle Xing is giving you. There's a pearl embedded here on the handle. I heard that women like this white stone the most and this fan is also famous for its double-sided embroidery." Chu Xing explained enthusiastically to Chu Ziluo.


Chu Ziluo listened with curiosity. "Uncle Xing, you're so amazing. Pearls, they're so beautiful. I really like it."


"It's just luck. I went to a distant county and happened to meet a merchant from overseas. I bought seven or eight pearls from him at a low price. If I had bought them from a store, the price would have been several times higher."


Speaking of this, Chu Xing was obviously very happy. He had made a big profit this time. It was also because the foreigner took a liking to the tea he brought over, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to exchange for them.


"Mother, come and take a look."


Hearing the voices, Ye Muyu slowly walked over and saw Chu Xing's donkey cart parked behind him, with several parcels still on it. She knew that he had come directly to their house after returning and hadn't had a chance to go home yet.


"Ah Xing, come in and rest for a while. Take your time to talk. I'll have Nenya go and report to Qian." 


"Then... then I won't be polite. Actually, sister-in-law, there's something I want to discuss with you and Heng-ge." Chu Xing rubbed his head, feeling a little embarrassed but thinking about the business opportunity he had discovered this time, his excitement outweighed his hesitation.


Nenya heard Ye Muyu's words and ran to the fifth room cleverly.


The donkey cart was not brought in, so Chu Xing directly carried the several packages into the main room.


Hu Shi first went to cut the tea and then brought some grass to feed the donkey.


"Have a seat, have some tea, take your time." Ye Muyu also picked up her tea cup and took a sip. It was now the hottest time of summer, and even Ye Muyu, who was naturally cold, would sweat a little when doing some work.


Not to mention Chu Xing, a semi-grown young man, whose body had strong internal heat. Even wearing a single robe, he felt very hot.


Chu Xing didn't refuse either. He picked up the tea and took a sip. Realizing it was winter melon tea to clear internal heat, he quickly finished a cup, feeling very satisfied as he wiped his mouth.


"Sister-in-law, sorry to bother you again." Chu Xing put down his tea cup and saw Ye Muyu patiently sitting beside him.


He no longer hesitated and slowly recounted the three days of travel.


Chu Ziluo sat on the lower stool, propped her chin, and listened attentively.


"I drove straight with the donkey cart, bypassed the two neighboring counties, and arrived at the largest dock in Lushui County."


"The water transportation in Lushui County is much more abundant than ours. The dock alone is as big as our Nanchang County. There are foreign merchants coming down from the ships all the time, even foreigners. I've seen quite a few of them."


"Hey, sister-in-law, these are the pearls I exchanged from that foreigner with tea leaves. Look, they're so beautiful."


Chu Xing reached into a parcel and took out a wooden box. There was only a rough magpie carved on the wooden box, but inside was a very eye-catching sight of seven pearls.


Each one was plump and smooth, crystal clear. Although Ye Muyu had seen many pieces of jewelry in her previous life, she could tell at a glance that although the pearls were not very large, they were of good quality.


"How many tea leaves did you exchange for these?" Ye Muyu asked.
