Chapter 160 Did you go to the prefect’s house to search the house?
Returning to his residence, he paid the woman today’s wages and asked her to come back tomorrow to continue taking him around.
This time with a goal in mind, Lin Xiaoman went to a jewelry store and sold part of the jewelry she bought there, while keeping part of it as a family heirloom.
It would be nice to buy good rough stones, but unfortunately the jade material produced in the north is not valuable. If you can buy it from the jade producing area, the price will be even lower.
When Lu Jin came out of the Wuzhou government office, she heard Qing Shu say: "Master, Miss Xiaoman bought a lot of things today. In addition to some fabrics, she also bought a lot of jade. It seems that Miss Xiaoman likes jade jewelry."

After hearing this, Lu Jin pondered for a moment and asked: "The jade materials that Ailao Kingdom paid tribute in the early years were picked and transported in two carts."
Qingshu agreed and said, "Master, will you return to the capital in the future?"
Lu Jin thought for a moment, shook his head, and then said: "Bring all the valuable things in the house over. Xiaoman's filial piety period is less than a year away, so it's time to prepare betrothal gifts and build a house."
Qingshu chuckled, "My master is wise."
Since he is not going back to the capital, there is no reason why the things that belong to the master should be left in the capital? What if one day the person above him is gone and someone else has other ideas?
You must know that there are countless gifts from the emperor in the master's house, let alone those inherited from the maternal grandfather's family. Not to mention being rich, it is almost as good as the enemy's country.
But the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and it is not easy to transport them safely. We have to find a way.
Miss Xiaoman came up with new grain seeds. Such a great contribution has not been shared by others. I think the reward will be big. I wonder if I can use the east wind to spread the message?
It's just that it's a little difficult to transport things here without being suspected.
There was a call from behind. Lu Jin stopped and looked back, and saw the Wuzhou magistrate hurriedly chasing him out of the house. He was chasing so fast that his head was covered with sweat.
The magistrate of Wuzhou ran to Lu Jin, not caring to wipe the sweat from his head, and panted: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Lu Jin raised his chin and rolled his eyes to the sky, like a proud peacock, "Didn't I tell you when I asked you? Now if you want to report something, I will listen. Isn't it very embarrassing for me?"
The magistrate of Wuzhou secretly complained in his heart, he had offended someone, but when he came, he asked him to explain who was behind it. If he confessed, it would be a serious crime of annihilating the nine tribes. How could he admit it?
Unexpectedly, this man turned around and left without even giving him a chance to defend himself.
The magistrate of Wuzhou said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I haven't said anything, so I have to think about how to say no. I also ask your Majesty to go in with me, and I will tell you everything I know."
Lu Jin snorted coldly, as if satisfied with his answer, and followed him into the Wuzhou government office.
Lin Xiaoman was playing with the things she bought in the house. The more she played with them, the rarer they became. Although it cost her more than 1,500 taels of silver, she thought that these things might be worth hundreds of millions when they were delivered there. Lin Xiaoman seemed to have seen the small money.
Money danced in front of her.
It's a pity that she and Erhu are not old enough to open a large bank account there. If they make too much money at once, they will be targeted by the superiors, or else they will sell them one by one?
Lin Erhu was escorted by Xu Qiuliang and read for a long time. Xu Qiuliang finally let him out, and Lin Erhu went to Lin Xiaoman to find food.
I saw a lot of jade jewelry placed on the bed in front of Lin Xiaoman. The quality looked like high-quality jade, especially some of them were full of green, and there was also a jade pendant of fortune, wealth and longevity, which was so beautiful that it looked like fake.
"Sister, this is worth my money. Where did you buy it?"
Lin Xiaoman glanced at him sideways, pretending not to care and said: "It's just a jewelry shop in the city, where else can I buy it?"
Lin Erhu picked them up one by one and looked at them one by one. When he looked at each one, he clicked his tongue twice. When he picked up a piece of jade that was as clear as glass, Lin Erhu suddenly thought, "Sister, you said that glass here is so expensive.
Do you want to get some glass jewelry to sell? If you sell the glass for jade, this business will be very profitable."
Lin Xiaoman was actually moved. He exchanged the glass products over there for the jade products here. No fool would be willing to do this small and profitable business.
Well, of course, glass products over there can be said to be cheap on the street, but there are few of them here, and the glass produced is not clear enough. She just moved the things there, and the price is not hers.
Definitely, no psychological pressure at all.
After thinking about it, Lin Xiaoman put away all the jade jewelry on the bed, "Erhu, we sold the jade jewelry and made a lot of money later, and we also bought a big villa over there. If you don't want to marry here,
Wife, marry me over there."
Lin Erhu chuckled, and finally shook his head, "I still can't. I read that I have a wife in the history books, and I can't be a heartless person."
Lin Xiaoman nodded approvingly, "Well, Erhu is sensible."
When Lu Jin came back, in addition to Qingshu, he was also followed by four servants holding tall boxes.
The four of them put the four tall stacks of boxes on the table and moved them outside again and again.
Uncle Lin's family also came over to watch the fun. Uncle Lin asked, "What are these? The box looks really nice."
Auntie Yao bumped into him and asked, "Why are you asking so many questions?"
Uncle Lin didn't dare to say anything. Recently, he found that his relationship with the Xiaoman siblings was getting better and better, not only because of their youngest son Goudan, but also because of their eldest son Wenyao. If it were just for the sake of him and the Yao family,
Yes, the Xiaoman siblings probably don’t want to talk to them, so it’s better not to make people unhappy.
Lin Xiaoman was also curious, watching the four people moving things again and again. Some of the beautiful boxes looked strangely familiar, just like the boxes for the jade jewelry she bought.
Is it filled with jade?
As soon as she bought a bunch of jades, Lu Jin brought back more jades from outside. It was too much of a coincidence to call it a coincidence.
Lin Erhu followed him out and took a look. There was no box-carrying carriage parked outside. Those people actually moved things directly from the prefect's office. When he came back and talked to Lin Xiaoman, Lin Xiaoman was speechless for a long time. Lu Jin was using
Did you go to the magistrate's house to blackmail you about the rebels in the mountains?
When the four people left, the table and floor in the room were covered with boxes of various sizes.
Qingshu opened the boxes one after another, and they contained beautiful pieces of jade jewelry and ornaments, many of which were of much better quality than those bought by Lin Xiaoman.
Qingshu smiled at Lin Xiaoman and said, "Miss Xiaoman, come and see if you like these?"
Lin Xiaoman looked helplessly at Lu Jin, who was asking for praise, "What are you doing? Why did you go to the prefect's house and ransack it?"
Lu Jin innocently said: "The magistrate's family once owed a sum of money to my maternal grandfather's family. It has not been repaid for many years. I wanted to use my family's property to pay it off. I saw that these jade stones were good, so I asked him to send them over."

"Really?" Why doesn't Lin Xiaoman believe it so much?
