Xu Zhaoyue made a hypothetical assumption in her mind, then shook her head. "They wouldn't dare. All my gemstones are marked. They keep records of everything that comes out of major jewelry stores. If I were to sell them outside, they would be exposed immediately."
"I see, that's good." Yue Lanxing nodded, relieved to have this layer of protection.
"By the way, besides having mines, Lianhua's family also owns some gemstones. I have a few pieces that she gave me. Go and tell Aunt Wu to prepare the ingredients for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. We'll be using it in the next couple of days." He Lianhua loved this dish, so Xu Zhaoyue asked Aunt Wu to prepare it in advance.
Sure enough, on the third day, He Lianhua arrived with He Kaiyuan. They had called in the morning and arrived that evening with lots of bags and packages.
"Ta-da! Look!" He Lianhua put a box on the table. "Open it and take a look. This is the biggest piece ever found in the mine. You'll definitely like it."
Xu Zhaoyue looked at the box, which was as wide as her shoulders. What could be so big? With curiosity, Xu Zhaoyue opened the box, and a pale blue tourmaline came into view, or rather, a large piece.
"Wow, the color is so clear, it's really rare to see one like this. Shouldn't this be auctioned off? It could fetch a lot of money." Xu Zhaoyue stroked the surface of the gemstone, which felt icy cold to the touch.
"Xiao Nan, go find the jeweler's phone number and ask him to come over tomorrow. I want to chip off a piece from it to make jewelry. What do you think would be a good design for the lotus flower?" Xu Zhaoyue really liked this sapphire.
He Lianhua had previously asked Xiaoyue why she didn't make those gemstones into jewelry. At the time, she said, "If I turned these irregular gemstones into accessories for jewelry with a predictable pattern, I would lose interest in them. It is their boundless imagination that makes me like them."
But now Xiaoyue actually wants to chip off a piece to make jewelry, which shows that she really likes it. "I think some of the small sharp points can be chipped off to make brooches, and bracelets would be nice too. This is the most transparent, and it would definitely be crystal clear and beautiful if made into a bracelet."
Seeing that his sister was about to get carried away chatting with Zhaoyue, He Kaiyuan made a fist and put it to his mouth, then coughed lightly, "Ahem, Zhaoyue, where is Xiaohao? He should be on holiday too."
“Oh, right, he brought luggage with him. Could you please ask Xiao Hao to take him in for a bit? He hasn’t had his dress for the party made yet. Could you ask Xiao Hao to take him to buy one?” He Lianhua patted her younger brother’s shoulder.
Xu Zhaoyue looked at the other boxes the servants behind them were carrying and realized what was going on. "I've taken all these things. If you want to stay, then go ahead. Xiao Nan, go call Xu Shun and ask."
Sometimes people just can't resist nagging. Before Xiao Nan could even nod, a voice came from outside, "I heard there's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall tonight! I really want to try it. I told you, Aunt Wu, you don't make this so easily... He Kaiyuan!"
