Chapter 605 Several

Princess Qing'an pursed her lips and said nothing.

The banquet was held in the bamboo forest in the manor, with an awning built on the tall bamboos, providing both shade and ventilation.

The wind blew through the bamboo forest, and the bamboos rustled.

There is no shortage of ice cubes on the farm. Ice cubes are placed all around. When the wind blows over, there is a unique artistic conception and a hint of coolness. It is very comfortable.

Several noble ladies couldn't help but feel a little envious.

This ice cube is placed in the sun just to add a little coolness, which is really a luxury.

But who made me a princess?

She had her own fief, and her mother gave her a generous monthly salary. In addition to the gifts she received from the palace during festivals and holidays, Princess Qing'an was definitely one of the richest women in the capital.

Several people looked at Princess Qing'an with envy.

Zhu Yaoxu suddenly exclaimed "Huh".

She walked forward and said to Xing Xing, "My Lord, can I see the earrings you are wearing?"

"Of course." Xing Xing turned her head away generously, allowing Zhu Yaoxu to come forward and take a closer look.

Zhu Yaoxu couldn't help but shout: "Cat's eye stone? Is it really a cat's eye stone?"

Several noble ladies stared with wide eyes and took a deep breath: "Is this the cat's eye stone?"

They had noticed before that the earrings that Fusui Xiangjun wore today seemed to be inlaid with some rare gems, dangling on her white earlobes, looking very beautiful.

They couldn't recognize it, but they were too embarrassed to ask, as they would seem ignorant.

This cat's eye stone is a gemstone whose fame has gradually spread in the capital in recent days. It is said that it is an extremely valuable gemstone even overseas, not to mention that it has traveled across the ocean to Daxia. It is no exaggeration to say that a small cat's eye stone can be worth more than the price of a house.

These ladies all came from extraordinary family backgrounds, but they had only heard of cat's eye stones and had never seen one.

One of them couldn't help but murmur: "Is it really a cat's eye stone?"

Zhu Yaoxu's cousin from her maternal grandparents' family got married a few days ago. Her aunt, who was from a wealthy family, gritted her teeth and bought her cousin a hairpin inlaid with cat's eye stones. Thanks to this, Zhu Yaoxu had seen it before, and she nodded affirmatively: "This is what cat's eye stones look like."

Even her cousin's cat's eye stone hairpin, although the cat's eye stone inlaid on it is bigger, is not as bright as Xingxing's cat's eye stone——

Zhu Yaoxu couldn't help but confirm with Xingxing: "Xiangjun, the pendant on your ear is inlaid with cat's eye stone, right?"

Xing Xing had just turned her head to the side so that Zhu Yaoxu could observe it carefully. Now she turned her head to the side again, and the cat-eye stone earrings shone brightly in front of everyone, making everyone's eyes go straight and their hearts itch as if they were being scratched by a cat.

Xing Xing replied: "It is indeed a cat's eye stone."

The ladies made a decision almost immediately. When they returned to Beijing, they would go to the jewelry store to look at the cat's eye stone jewelry!

Zhu Yaoxu thought of her cousin's cat-eye stone hairpin and couldn't help but smack her lips: "This is a newly popular gem. How much silver would such earrings cost?"

Before Xing Xing could answer, the noble lady next to her couldn't help asking, "Yes, yes, yes, where did you buy it? How much did you spend?"

Xing Xing scratched her cheek and said, "Ah, this was not bought by me. My second brother gave it to me. I don't even know how much it cost."

Zhu Yaoxu couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your second brother loves you so much. I heard that my cousin spent so much money on that cat's eye stone hairpin."

She made the number two.

A noblewoman guessed: "Two hundred taels?"

She felt a little pain because it was a bit expensive, but it was okay. She could buy it if she gritted her teeth.

However, Zhu Yaoxu shook her head and said in a tone that made her feel pained: "Two thousand taels!"

Two thousand taels!

Not to mention the noble ladies, even the wealthy Princess Qing'an took a breath of cold air.

At the same time, the ladies looked at Xingxing with eyes full of envy!

They all knew that Fusui Xiangjun's eldest and third brothers were very powerful.

One is a rare talented general in a century, who stabilized the border and made great achievements in the northern frontier.

The other one was the first young top scholar in a hundred years to get the top six prizes, and his future was limitless.

Anyone can see that these two, one civil and one military, will ensure the Yu family's prosperity and wealth for decades, unless the family is desperate enough to get involved in a rebellion to seize the throne.

The eldest and third brothers are so powerful, and the second brother in the middle seems to be unconsciously ignored.

But at this moment, when these noble ladies heard that Fusui Xiangjun's second brother had given his sisters a thousand taels of jewelry at once, they immediately understood that the second brother must be very promising!

Otherwise, where can we afford it?

Oh, by the way, not only is he very promising, he also loves his sister very much!

Who wouldn’t be jealous?

My eyes are turning red with envy!

"Your second brother is so nice." A noble lady couldn't help but sigh with envy.

Xing Xing really likes to hear people praising her brothers. She nodded happily: "Yes, my second brother is very good!"

"Then please go back and ask for me where your second brother bought it from?" The noble lady was so moved that she couldn't help but ask.

Xing Xing thought about it and didn't hide it: "It doesn't look like I bought it. My second brother has a shipping ship and he just brought it back from the dock."

After hearing this, the ladies all took a deep breath.

What?!

This means that the owner of this cat's eye stone is Fusui Xiangjun's second brother? !

All of a sudden, the ladies' eyes changed when they looked at Fukusui Xiangjun.

Although they are all beautiful ladies, they are not the kind of birds in a cage who never leave the house and know nothing about the world. Everyone knows what maritime transport represents.

It is a huge risk and extremely rich reward!

Without a certain amount of wealth, you can’t even afford a ship for long-distance sea transportation!

Everyone was stunned for a while, and then the noblewoman couldn't help swallowing her saliva: "...In other words, Mr. Xiang, your second brother might still have cat's eye stone jewelry?"

Xing Xing thought for a moment and counted on her fingers: "I should have a few more of these jewels. Several of my aunts and uncles said that this cat's eye stone is suitable for little girls, so they didn't want it and chose other jewels they liked... I gave the remaining cat's eye stone jewels to my eldest sister-in-law, a few to my second sister-in-law, and a few to me..."

After a pause, Xing Xing glanced at Princess Qing An and whispered, "By the way, I also left a few pieces for my future sister-in-law."

Princess Qing'an's face turned red in an instant!

But at this moment, everyone was so shocked by the "several things" that Xingxing mentioned that they didn't notice Princess Qing'an's red face.

A few pieces——

They were still hesitating about how to coax their mother when they get back and ask her to buy them a piece to keep in their closet. The women in the Fusui Xiangjun family were counted by the number of pieces!

How many pieces?

It's as if this is not talking about jewelry worth thousands of gold, but about some cabbage!
