Chapter 192: Maybe Ore
When they saw Eleven, Master Fang and the others immediately knew that this should be a guard from Prince Jun's mansion.
They all knew the situation of the Fu family. How could there be such a majestic-looking servant? And now Fu Zhaoning was wearing new clothes.
Fu Zhaoning gave Eleven a look.
At eleven o'clock, he nodded and went out.
Eleven can go out and walk around the farm first. If she can't find out anything here, Eleven should be able to find out.
"Zhaoning, we've all heard about you. You don't mind us calling you by your name, right?" Mrs. Fang pulled Fu Zhaoning and felt that this child was much brighter than before.
The person is still the same, but looks completely different.
"I don't mind. It's better for you to call me that, Madam Fang. Shiqing is my best friend, so don't be so formal."
Fu Zhaoning liked Mrs. Fang as soon as he saw her.
Because Mrs. Fang looked like a woman with a good temper, very kind, and easily moved by others. She also looked very friendly and blessed.
When she looked at people, there was always a smile in her eyes, making people feel very close to her.
"Then we won't be polite," Mrs. Fang was very happy. "Didn't I tell you before? Just call us Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang. That's more intimate."
But when she asked Fu Zhaoning to call her like that before, the child would just lower his head in embarrassment and said nothing.
Fang Shiqing later wondered if Fu Zhaoning would think of her biological parents, whom she had never seen, if he addressed them too affectionately, which might make her feel inferior and sad.
She was still somewhat cautious when talking to Fu Zhaoning.
"Really? That's great, Aunt Fang. I haven't seen you for a while and you look much better. It seems my uncle Fang has done a lot to make you happy."
As soon as Fu Zhaoning saw how Fang Dafu and Mrs. Fang got along, he knew that the couple had a good relationship.
Fang Dafu didn't have any concubines or anything like that, so his backyard was very quiet.
"Oh my, that's great! He didn't make me angry, and he even tried to cheer me up!"
When Mrs. Fang heard Fu Zhaoning say this, her smile became much more genuine.
That’s great, that’s great. She really likes Fu Zhaoning like this. Fu Zhaoning’s words make it seem like he and Shi Qing get along very well and they are true besties.
Moreover, if you are so calm and composed, you will probably be able to handle any problems you encounter, and there is no need for people to worry so much.
Mrs. Fang hurried to the kitchen to prepare food.
Fang Dafu still wanted to have a good chat with Fu Zhaoning.
After chatting for a while, Fu Zhaoning asked her about the things she wanted to know.
Fang Dafu immediately said after hearing this, "There are indeed quite a few people coming to the village these past two days. I also want to join in the fun tomorrow."
"What's all that excitement?"
"There is a farm across a stream. It was sold to a traveling merchant a few days ago. The merchant's surname is Gu, and he is called Master Gu. Master Gu came to the capital and said he wanted to do a special business. Because he needed a large area, he bought a farm here on the outskirts of the city."
Fang Dafu was also very excited when talking about this matter.
"He has a caravan, all of them have good horses, and all of them have good carts that can carry heavy goods. You don't know what the goods are, but they are all stones!"
"Stone?"
As soon as he heard it was Shi Tou, Fu Zhaoning knew he had not made a mistake. Fu Er, Fu San and the others must be here to find this Master Gu.
"Yeah, you said it was amazing? Those stones you were talking about have emerald inside them."
"Emerald ore."
Fu Zhaoning suddenly realized why she hadn't thought of it before. Since it is said to be a valuable stone, it must be a mineral.
Jadeite raw stone, has anyone in Zhao State started gambling at this time?
The Zhao Kingdom is still very powerful!
If it really was a raw jadeite stone, it would not be surprising if it was sold at any price. So she was unwilling to let Fu Er and Fu San and the others sell the piece that belonged to the Fu family.
"Yes, yes, it's ore. Master Gu said he has tools for cutting stones. They were made by great craftsmen, and it cost a lot of money to transport them here. If their ores can be cut into jade, they will be very valuable."
As Fang Dafu spoke, he excitedly went to pick up a stone. The stone looked to be five or six pounds, with a smooth surface and a beautiful, shiny color.
"Master Gu also said that he can also buy stones, and anyone who has minerals can sell them to him. I have been searching for a long time in the farm and found a piece like this. I fished it out from a stream in the mountains before. At that time, I thought it looked like a golden melon. I want to take this stone to Master Gu to have a look. Maybe I can cut it into jade."
"Oh, Dad, we have a lot of these stones here. Yours is just a little rounder, there's nothing special about it. If everyone could sell it for a good price, everyone would go digging for stones!"
Fang Shiqing didn't believe it at all.
"You don't understand. Anyway, Master Gu said that if it is jade, he can usually tell it is jade. I will take it to him for a look. It won't take much effort. Our family is not short of money. When I cut the jade, I will make a pair of bracelets for you and your mother."
Fang Dafu smiled.
Fang Shiqing also smiled, "Okay, mother and I will wait for it. Anyway, if this stone can't produce jadeite, you can give me some money to go to the gold and jade shop in the city to pick out a pair, right?"
"Zhao Ning, I'll pick one for you when the time comes. I haven't officially given you a dowry yet when you get married, so you need to make up for it."
"Yes, yes, yes, it is necessary to add to the makeup. Then when I cut this stone, I will also make a bracelet for Zhaoning."
Fu Zhaoning couldn't help laughing when listening to what the father and daughter said.
"Uncle Fang, I also want to visit Master Gu's manor. Can you take me there?"
"Why not? Go tomorrow."
"To be honest with you, Uncle Fang, my cousins dug up a piece of stone from our garden and sent it here. I suspect they want to sell it as ore. I want to go over and take a look later."
Fu Zhaoning now knew what kind of people Fang Dafu's family was and did not hide it from him.
"Those termites in your house?"
Woodworm?
It's really appropriate.
Fu Zhaoning nodded.
"The stones you dug at home?" Fang Dafu also got angry. "Aren't all the things of the Fu family yours? What does it have to do with them? They have been living in your house for so many years, and they dare to sell your things?"
"That's right," Mrs. Fang also came out, "Even if it's a piece of stone, it's your stone! Don't give them a penny!"
"Come on, Zhaoning, let's not delay any more. I'll take you there now."
Fang Dafu actually didn't believe that Fu Er, Fu San and others could just pick up a piece of stone from the garden and sell it as jade ore.
But Fu Zhaoning has already found her way here, so even if it is just an ordinary stone, we have to help her get it back!
