"What's wrong, Hua'er? Are you feeling unwell...?" The man stopped mid-sentence when he saw her step back, her rosy complexion suddenly turning pale.
"No, it's nothing, I just..." Su Hua gripped her sleeve tightly until she retreated to a slightly safer corner, "I just suddenly felt a little hot and wanted to get some fresh air."
"Are you really alright?" Xiao Jinhan raised his hand and placed it on her forehead. Her body was indeed quite warm, and there were some beads of sweat on her skin.
His worries lessened a bit. He then told the servants to bring two ice basins to Su Hua’s side and serve two iced drinks. “If Hua’er is still feeling hot, we’ll go back to Shanghe Village later. The climate in Tangshan Prefecture is not as good as in Shanghe Village. It’s already early May and it’s already getting a bit humid.”
Su Hua smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, everything is fine now."
As long as you don't get too close, the jade's attraction to the bracelet will be greatly reduced. Stepping back to this corner, the scorching temperature has dropped, and it's only slightly hot.
However, just as the stone bracelet cooled down, Zhou Bo's voice, filled with a mixture of surprise and delight, was heard again.
"It's not Fu Lu Shou (福禄寿), nor Fu Lu Shou Xi (福禄寿喜), it's Fu Lu Shou Xi Cai (福禄寿喜财), the five blessings coming to your door!"
"If the arrival of spring with its colorful hues and the blessings of fortune, prosperity, and longevity are a once-in-a-century occurrence, then the arrival of the Five Blessings is something that only exists in legends!"
“Each of these five treasures is a top-grade jade! White ice, red jade, yellow jade, imperial green, royal purple—such jade treasures are hidden under a piece of white sand skin that is extremely unlikely to yield good material. It’s simply too unexpected…”
Su Hua looked up and saw a square piece of jade placed in the center of the large stone-cutting platform. From left to right, the colors were white, red, yellow, green, and purple, dividing the jade into five equal parts. The transition between each part of the jade was very natural. A little sunlight shone through the shade of the trees onto the jade, making it look like a stream of water, creating a clear and radiant effect.
The temperature of the bracelet, which she had finally managed to remove, rose slightly again. A five-colored light, exactly the same as the "Five Blessings Arrive at the Door" pattern, flashed across the stone bracelet, startling her so much that she quickly put her wrist behind her back.
Looking up, I saw Uncle Zhou smiling and carrying the Five Blessings to the door as he approached the corner. "This old servant originally thought I was a veteran in the world of jade gambling, but after seeing you today, I finally know what it means to have discerning eyes."
"Young lady, with these five blessings upon you, I wonder if you wish to keep them or make them into jewelry? If you wish to make jewelry, this old servant happens to know a few old fellows who have some skills..."
With each step Zhou Bo took closer, Su Hua felt the temperature of the bracelet rise by a step, until it finally began to vibrate with a buzzing sound.
Startled, she jumped up and quickly backed away until she reached the flower-covered outhouse in the yard. "Thank you for your hard work today, Uncle Zhou. Please help me put it in a sturdy wooden box. I need to go to the outhouse first."
Having said that, he disregarded everything else and plunged headfirst into the flower-filled toilet.
As soon as you lift your sleeve, you can see the blue stone bracelet on your wrist. The ancient blue color of the bracelet is almost completely submerged by the multicolored colors, which can even penetrate the sleeve and be clearly seen outside the wide sleeve.
Su Hua was somewhat stunned. At this moment, she was completely certain that the dog space had chosen this "Five Blessings" after careful selection.
Even swallowing jade depends on the location.
Just in case, Su Hua wrapped the bracelet three times with oiled paper from her spatial storage, and then wrapped it twice with scraps of cloth. Only when she could no longer see any of the five colors did she feel relieved.
She sat on the flower-patterned stool and could still hear Uncle Zhou's chuckling voice, "I wonder where you bought the rough stone, young lady? If the shop owner knew that not only did he find nine good pieces, but there were also five blessings hidden beneath this white sand skin, he would probably be so angry that he would be enraged!"
The atmosphere at Liu's jade shop was indeed very oppressive at that moment.
The sounds of jade being smashed echoed with the man's angry shouts, "Rejuvenating Spring with Colors?! That's all bullshit! I spent almost ten thousand taels of silver, and not even the worst bean seed turned out..."
