After returning home, Su Ruobai, exhausted from a long day, was in no hurry to cook.
Let's take out the two items we found and examine them.
It was covered in mud, making it impossible to see its original appearance.
Su Ruobai found a basin of clean water and rinsed the bracelet in it first.
It turned out to be hollow.
The mud on the outside was washed away, but there was still mud inside.
I continued rinsing, then thought of trying it with a shoe brush, and was just about to put it on.
We got it again.
She's suddenly become rich, and she's never touched these gold jewelry pieces before.
I wonder if the bristles on this shoe brush will leave brush marks on this bracelet.
This will affect the selling price.
She needs to cry for a few seconds.
It seems like one wash won't get it clean.
I simply took out the hairpin too and rinsed it thoroughly several times.
They've finally revealed their true colors.
How can one word describe its beauty!
Both of these things should be made of gold, they're shiny and golden. As for why they're not made of copper...
Because there was no rust on it.
What pleased Su Ruobai the most was the bracelet. When she first took it out, it was covered in mud and looked quite rough.
However, it doesn't weigh much, less than two ounces.
I reckon it's not a solid bracelet.
Wash away the silt to reveal its true appearance.
Su Ruobai then realized how superficial she had been.
She's used to being poor, and her imagination is too limited.
This bracelet is made by drawing gold into threads as thin as silk, weaving and welding them into a cylindrical shape, and then winding them into a bracelet.
This bracelet is not a closed loop.
There is a gap of less than one centimeter, with a red gemstone set at each end.
Su Ruobai didn't know what kind of gemstone it was.
Anyway, it hasn't been polished, so it looks like a raw stone.
It was bright red, like flowing blood.
There are two dragon heads on the side.
The carving is exquisite; even the eyes are inlaid with gemstones.
Su Ruobai thought, this isn't just a bracelet, it's a work of art!
Is this the reason why the concubines in the palace used to compete for the emperor's favor?
Is this the legendary Nine Clans Selection?
Su Ruobai absolutely adored this bracelet.
After making sure it was clean, she put it on herself.
It's beautiful, so beautiful!
The other one is a gold hairpin.
The material is the same.
This one doesn't have any gemstones set in it.
It's made entirely of gold.
It's very heavy.
Because there's a building on top of this hairpin.
That's right, it's a building inlaid with gold.
It has doors and windows, roof tiles and pillars.
Even the mythical beasts perched on the eaves are lifelike.
Su Ruobai exclaimed, "The ancients were amazing!"
As expected of the Nine Clans' carefully selected products.
Having indeed found the treasure, Su Ruobai decided to continue the treasure hunt tomorrow, quietly making a fortune.
Dinner was fish soup again.
It still tastes good.
Su Ruobai also took some time to go to her space to properly manage her corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.
The yield per mu of corn is already dozens of kilograms higher than the current yield per mu.
However, Su Ruobai felt it would be a bit embarrassing to show it off.
Let's keep trying.
Su Ruobai selected some good ones and planted them back in the ground.
Fearing that this batch might not be any better, she took out a lot of local corn seeds she had harvested before and planted them as well.
Farming, farming.
Farming makes her happy.
Treasure hunting, treasure hunting makes her happy.
In Shangwan Village.
The families who went treasure hunting in the river today are all discussing what happened today.
"Tell me, who's so shameless as to spread such false information? Aren't they just playing with people's feelings?" Aunt Luo complained to her husband.
After saying that, he turned over and rubbed his aching lower back.
She was exhausted.
"You're so easily swayed by rumors! If you really found such a treasure, would you be willing to tell anyone?" Her husband heard Aunt Luo's commotion.
I turned around to look at her.
By the moonlight, I discovered that my wife was massaging her lower back.
He then sat up and gave Aunt Luo a massage.
"You're always causing trouble. If you don't want to earn work points today, then just take a break."
"With a back like yours, you're trying to go fishing for treasure in the river! Aren't you afraid of getting tired?"
Aunt Luo protested, "Oh, I've been tricked! This morning someone was shouting on the street that they'd found gold in the river."
Everyone went, but to everyone's surprise, no one saw who shouted it.
"Ugh, if I found out who it was, I'd beat her so badly her own mother wouldn't recognize her. Ouch, be gentle!"
Old Luo wouldn't tolerate her: "You dare to hit someone? With your physique, you're lucky if you don't get hit yourself."
After saying that, he slapped Aunt Xiao's lower back hard.
"Alright, go to sleep!"
Then I lay down first.
He was also exhausted after a long day.
Aunt Luo turned over and lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) muttering, "Go to sleep, go to sleep, I need to get some rest."
"I'm exhausted. Even if someone says gold is popping out of the river tomorrow, I'm not going."
The moon pulled the clouds aside and hid its face.
She heard similar conversations in many other households.
They all said they weren't coming.
It's a complete waste of time.
But she felt that these people would eventually contradict themselves.
Sure enough, the next day.
There are more people in the river than fish in the water.
Everyone had originally decided that they would absolutely not come to the river to search for treasure today.
Who knew? Before dawn, someone was excitedly shouting in the street, "There's gold in the river! There's gold in the river!"
Those who didn't know the news yesterday, upon hearing the commotion, stopped going to work and rushed to the river; they had to go to the river.
I came yesterday but got nothing and wasted a whole day. I've made up my mind that I'm never coming today, no matter what.
