Pastoral Master

Chapter 226 Exchange Money
At night, the two brothers of the Bai family got up, and Yan Ruxue sorted it out. She only had less than 100 taels of cash in her hand. If she had paid the rent for the past few days, there would probably be very little left. , and since she wants to develop here, staying in an inn for a long time is definitely not an option. Unfortunately, the things in her hands are valuable, but they can't be directly exchanged for money, otherwise the people in Lin County will immediately know that they are just empty. Skins!

Seeing a lot of jewels and jade in the box, Yan Ruxue suddenly thought of something, and immediately called out loudly. "Wen Yue!"

Wen Yue walked in and bowed to salute. "Miss!"

Yan Ruxue said. "I remember there are craftsmen in the palace among you, right?"

Wen Yue answered very simply. "Yes! Guo Ji and Xiaosan's ancestors are all craftsmen in the palace. Guo Ji's family made swords, and Xiaosan's maternal ancestor's family made utensils in the palace!"

Yan Ruxue thought about it. "You find them for me! I have something to find them!"

Wen Yue bowed and retreated. After a while, it was the brothers of the Bai family who came in first, and they asked puzzledly after they came in. "I heard that you are looking for Guo Ji and Xiaosan, why are you looking for them!"

Seeing the Bai family brothers, Yan Ruxue couldn't help frowning. "Why are you up? Didn't I tell you to take a good rest!"

Both Bai Han and Bai Li rolled their eyes at the same time. She could clear up the relationship between King Sijiang with a letter of divorce, but in the eyes of outsiders like them, the relationship between her and King Sijiang was far stronger than she thought. Much more complicated!It can't be solved with a divorce letter, and a married woman meeting a man with a different surname alone will obviously make people gossip, but if the two of them are here, no one will dare to gossip!

"Wake up, let's take a look!" Bai Han responded casually, and then asked. "You haven't said anything yet, why are you looking for Guo Ji and Xiaosan?"

Yan Ruxue pointed to the big box. "I want them to turn the contents of this chest into silver!"

Bai Li looked at the box and said. "Or I'll drive a carriage to the nearby county town to sell it!"

Yan Ruxue shook her head. "None of the people who gave us gifts are fuel-efficient lamps. Even the nearby county towns, it's hard to guarantee that they don't know about them. Therefore, these things can't be sold!"

"Knock, knock, knock~" Wenyue's voice sounded after three knocks on the door. "My lord, Guo Ji and Xiao San are here!"

"Let them in!" Yan Ruxue said.

Wen Yue opened the door, Guo Ji and Xiao San walked in, knelt down and saluted. "I have seen the young master!"

Yan Ruxue raised her hand. "Get up!"

After Guo Ji and Xiao San got up, Yan Ruxue spoke. "Aside from making swords and utensils, do you two do anything else? For example, making jewelry?"

Guo Ji and Xiaosan thought for a while and said. "This jewelry is too delicate, we think it will be difficult to make it!"

Yan Ruxue frowned, although she had expected it, she was still a little disappointed, so she asked casually. "Then do you know how to change jewelry?"

"Change the jewelry?" Guo Ji and Xiao San couldn't help but glance at each other. As craftsmen, they were naturally curious about skills. "I don't know how to change the jewelry that the young master said?"

Yan Ruxue casually picked up a pearl necklace and took out a piece of jade. "For example, this piece of jade can be polished into bracelets and hairpins, and then paired with this pearl to make step shakes. Even if their owners see them again, they will definitely not be able to recognize them!"

Guo Ji and Xiao San shook their heads helplessly. "We have a way to turn this jade into a hairpin, but how to insert this pearl into it, we really have no way!"

Yan Ruxue couldn't help sighing.

Wenyue on the side was a little hesitant to speak, but she was just a little maid, and it was hard for her to speak without her master!

Bai Li noticed this and asked. "Wen Yue, is there anything you can do?"

Wen Yue nodded. "Young master, in fact, the pearl doesn't have to be embedded inside, maybe it can be hung outside!"

Yan Ruxue frowned. "Hanging outside?"

Wen Yue nodded. "Just open the pearl from the middle, pass it through with fishing line, tie the outside with colored thread, and match it with a pearl hosta, it won't be ugly!"

Yan Ruxue couldn't help being overjoyed. Although she had never seen this kind of jewelry, her intuition told her that this jewelry would not be ugly! "Can you make one first and take a look?"

Wen Yue looked at Guo Ji and Xiao San, they nodded, and then Wen Yue said again. "Young master, Jingru's network is the best. If it is really done, it is better to let Jingru come."

Yan Ruxue nodded. "Okay! As long as you can make it, you can do whatever you want!" Yan Ruxue took out 20 taels of silver from her cuff and handed it to Wen Yue. "Take the silver, and buy whatever you want yourself!"

Wen Yue shook her head with a smile. "I don't need so much. Guo Ji and they all have the tools to do the work. They just buy some silk thread and fishing line. I don't need a tael of silver!"

Yan Ruxue said. "No! Don't buy fishing line, buy copper wire, and use the copper wire to thread the beads, so that they can be fixed!"

Wen Yue nodded. "yes!"

That night, Guo Ji and Xiao San began to polish the jade. Both of their ancestors were servants in the palace. Naturally, their craftsmanship is not bad. Although this jade polishing is not their own business, the reason is the same. It's not a big thing, just a small hosta, no pattern, no style, just a hole drilled in each hosta.

Although these three servant girls are not descendants of craftsmen, it is not good for a woman from a rich family to have a few female celebrities, and the descendants of these criminal officials do not have much money to make a living. These female celebrities are an important income for them, so Not only did these skills not decline with them, but they became more and more refined. The three maids used the size and color difference of the pearls, and the softness of the silk thread to transform into various tricks.

In one night, the five people made a lot of hairpin patterns. Early the next morning, Yan Ruxue couldn't help being surprised when she saw what the three of them held in front of her. "Is this what you made out of those lumps of stone?"

After working hard all night, the faces of the five people did not show a trace of tiredness, on the contrary, they all looked excited.

"Miss, are you satisfied with it?"

Yan Ruxue carefully counted that there were as many as sixteen pearls on the plate, and there were still a lot of pearls left. Suddenly, Yan Ruxue saw the delicate and beautiful flowers on these hairpins, and couldn't help but said in surprise. "What are these? They are so beautiful!"

"It's jade! The scattered jade they polished!" Wen Yue laughed.

"Jade!" Yan Ruxue exclaimed in shock, then picked up one and took a look!It really is scattered jade, they are polished into small petals one by one, and then connected together to form a delicate and beautiful flower!
