A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 353 Gold Stone
"So my sister already knew about it! Sorry."

Chang Ning was really embarrassed about this matter, so he could only apologize: "I mentioned this matter, but no one believed me, they all thought I was your servant. The son is too busy recently, so I'm not ashamed Don't bother him with this!"

"Forget it, anyway, I won't lose a piece of meat if I take on the title, and the people in the palace are trying to curry favor with me, so it doesn't matter."

Princess Ayin didn't care much about this matter, she just mentioned it casually, and when she heard that Xiao Qian was still busy, she asked with concern: "Why, there is no clue about the money?"

"No, so the 10,000+ taels I earned won't last long. The financial deficit is too big, and the cash is not enough to turn around." Chang Ning felt irritable when he thought of this, and he didn't know what else to sell in the Zhenbei Palace .

"King Zhenbei is really ruthless, he can think of such a bad move!"

Princess Ayin thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Changning, I have a good idea that can bring in money, I wonder if you will listen to it!"

"Really, sister, tell me quickly." Of course you have to listen if you can make money.

"It's just that telling this matter may affect feelings a little." Princess Ayin sighed, and then said: "Didn't Prince Xiao have firearms? If he is willing to sell me the method of making firearms to Ximan, I believe my father will be willing to sell them." high price."

"No, he has already handed over the secret of the firearms to the emperor. If he sells them to you at this time, he will be selling arms privately. This is a serious crime of beheading, and it can be severely punished by the nine clans."

Without hesitation, Changning directly rejected Princess Ayin's proposal.

Firearms, something that doesn't belong to this era at all, naturally, the less people use it, the better.Although Ximan has a good relationship with Xiao Qian now, its internal relationship is complicated. If the secret of firearms is known now, it may spread to Beirong one day.

Therefore, for his own consideration, Xiao Qian would never allow the method of making firearms to be introduced to Western Man, or to other countries.

"It turns out that the consequences are so serious, so just pretend I didn't tell you, sister, don't worry about it." Princess Ayin didn't expect Changning to refuse so simply, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

"Actually, as long as Ximan and Dayu have a good relationship for generations, it doesn't matter if you want firearms or not, the son of the world will definitely not sit back and watch Ximan being bullied."

Chang Ning replied with a smile, temporarily alleviating the embarrassment, and then she looked at the lotus in the pond, and suddenly became a foodie, and changed the subject by the way.

"Sister, do you like lotus root?"

"Can I eat it now?" Princess Ayin was born on the grassland, and she has never eaten lotus root. She likes this kind of crispy and tender dish, but the season seems to be a bit early.

"Actually, in August, some lotus roots have grown into edible ones. You can tell by asking someone to dig them out." Chang Ning immediately said to Xiao Ling: "Little Lingdang, find some people to dig the lotus roots for dinner." meal."

"Girl, how many lotus roots do you want? If there are a few, I'll dig them out for you!"

Because of their presence, the rough envoys didn't dare to get close to them. Xiao Ling felt that it was troublesome to go out and ask people to walk for a long time, so she took off her shoes and jumped down while talking.

This girl is really spoiled by me!
Seeing Xiao Ling acting recklessly, Chang Ning felt a bit of a headache, but everyone jumped down and couldn't be dragged up, so she stood in the gazebo with Princess Ayin and watched Xiao Ling dig.

The gazebo is built in the middle of the lotus pond. The foundation of the pavilion is made of stones, and there are many black stones piled up around it, half of which are submerged in the water and half of which are exposed to the water.

Chang Ning stood by the water and watched Xiao Ling search for lotus roots in the mud at the bottom of the pond. She was sensitive to all kinds of natural rocks because she had seen all kinds of natural gemstones when making jewelry before. , couldn't help but looked at those black stones.

In nature, the most common black stones are biotite flakes, petrified wood, and granite containing biotite, as well as black jade, British stone, and thousand-layer stone.

However, in his previous life, Chang Ning had seen every kind of black stone above, none of which was similar to the stone in front of him.

She immediately became curious, and couldn't help but walked to the water's edge and stretched out her hand to grab a piece, holding it in her hand and admiring it carefully.

The black stone is very heavy, but the surface is very rough. There is no rock texture, but it looks like it is made of cement concrete.It's just that the concrete is basically blue-gray, but the color of this stone is particularly thick black.

Chang Ning Chang Ning couldn't recognize it after turning it over and over again. He had never seen this kind of stone before, so he couldn't help thinking to himself: "Could it be a rare stone, or even a meteorite?"

While she was thinking, Xiao Ling touched a piece of lotus root that was as long as an arm, and happily lifted it up and said, "Look, girl, I have dug a lotus root!"

"Awesome!"

Chang Ning praised. Seeing that the lotus root was full of mud, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly lowered her head to look, only to see that the black stone soaked in shallow water was clean. The look of moss.

strange!
With a thought, she looked carefully again, and saw that some common granites were also mixed in the pile of stones, but the parts of those stones near the water were covered with moss, and the part immersed in the water grew waterweeds that bit the snails. .

But only the black stones, no matter above or below the water, have no moss or aquatic plants.

This shows two problems; either the black stone has not been thrown into the lotus pond for a long time, not long enough.Either there is something wrong with this black stone, and no moss grows.

In short, unusual!

Chang Ning had doubts in his heart, he threw the stone back calmly, and told Xiao Ling to dig the lotus root with all his heart.After dinner, when Xiao Qian returned home, she quietly told Xiao Qian about this discovery.

"Are you talking about those black stones? There is a black mountain outside Huining City, which specializes in producing such stones. They are good materials for building houses. Everyone in the Northwest knows them, so there should be no problem."

Xiao Qian shook his head and explained, and said: "I just sent someone to check the lotus pond two days ago, and there is nothing abnormal. It is impossible for gold and silver to be hidden in the lotus pond."

"But I've never seen that kind of black stone. It's so strange! It doesn't grow moss." Chang Ning still felt strange, and explained the reason for his suspicion!

"Doesn't it grow moss?"

Xiao Qian really didn't pay attention to this before, who would be suspicious of the stone he was used to since childhood!Hearing what Chang Ning said, he also became suspicious, and immediately ordered someone to pick up a black stone from the gazebo.

This kind of stone is very hard, Xiao Qian put it on the table and slashed it twice with a knife without breaking it. Finally, he had to throw it on the ground and asked Xiao Yi to use a hammer to smash the stone.

As the stone shattered into several pieces, a touch of gold shone from it.

"Young master, it's gold, gold..." Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, picked it up and looked carefully, and immediately cried out in surprise.

In this way, the hidden gold of King Zhenbei was discovered.

"Hahaha, there is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it! Changning, you are really my lucky star!" Seeing that the gold was finally found, Xiao Qian was overjoyed, turned around and hugged Changning, and slapped, A loud kiss.

"Um, young master, this subordinate is going to dispatch people to get out all the gold in secret." Xiao Yi's eyes widened when he saw this, his face turned red, and he slipped away with oil on his feet.
