The tools in Huang's hands fell to the ground, and he stood there motionless, as if in a daze.
"Yes, so please don't tell anyone."
Yan Xia repeated it again.
"Okay, I won't tell anyone, don't worry."
The craftsman nodded blankly.
Yan Xia wasn't afraid of what he said, it was just a bit troublesome.
After all, once the luminous pearl is produced, it will definitely attract many people to fight over it. How could a small merchant like her compete with officials?
So what if she took it? Anyway, she had three bigger ones. It was just that it would be annoying to have people eyeing them all. Yan Xia simply asked Craftsman Huang to keep it a secret.
They even resorted to the magic of money.
She took out a one-hundred-tael silver note and placed it on the table.
"This is the confidentiality fee. I would never have given it to you if my daughter hadn't wanted it. I'm trusting you this time, and I hope you won't disappoint me. I have a very good relationship with the county magistrate. You can find out by asking around. Oh, and I also have some connections with the governor of Jiangnan. It's not that I'm afraid others will know that my gem can glow, it's just that I hate trouble and don't like people asking me all sorts of questions. Alright, here's the silver note. I'll come back to collect it in three days."
Yan Xia can lie without blushing now.
The craftsman, Huang, was completely bewildered. "I won't tell, I absolutely won't tell."
"Okay, hurry up and cut it, I'm leaving."
Yan Xia turned and left.
She made the right bet, and Craftsman Huang really didn't dare to say it.
His parents' graves are in Shuangqiao Town, unless he stays in the capital for the rest of his life and never comes back.
Even if Yan Xia didn't have this relationship, he still wouldn't tell her.
As a craftsman, he often encountered wealthy men and women who came to him to make jewelry for their mistresses. Manager Wan was worried that he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly, so he simply brought these customers to see him.
He had long since learned to keep his mouth shut.
Keep your mouth shut, and you'll protect your wealth!
After handing the hundred-tael silver note to his wife, the craftsman Huang went into the workshop to cut the gemstone.
They even locked the door from the inside, afraid that their son and daughter-in-law would barge in.
