Yunze was watching in front of a small stall on the street. The stalls were full of crushed crystals with poor color and transparency. Even if they were carefully polished, they could not produce good jewelry.

So he didn't look carefully, just took a rough look, and went to the next one if he wasn't interested.

To be honest, he has been very picky over the years, and he can't see any advantages of gems that are slightly inferior. Besides, the small stalls on the street are full of scraps of inferior gems, that is, some small businessmen like to collect them and make them worthless. necklace bracelet.

He felt that these small stalls were worthless, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face in the next second.

A stall appeared ahead, and the stalls were full of carved precious and semi-precious stones.In fact, the materials are only ordinary, and what is rare is the craftsmanship. Every piece of work has a special charm.

Yunze caught a glimpse of a small fish about the size of a thumb on the top. It was a pendant made of soft agate. The outside was milky white with high transparency, and the inside was bright red.The carving is very delicate and flexible, as if a small fish has just jumped out of the water, and the scales of the fish are shining.

"Hello, who carved this?" Yunze held the small agate fish in his palm, his fair skin made the little fish more vibrant, as if it was about to come alive at any time.

Menis was there to translate for him.

The person who set up the stall was a young man who didn't have calluses for carving, so you could tell it wasn't his handwriting.There are many craftsmen under Yunze, and the school also has a special carving class. He knows what a master's hand looks like.

Grandmaster?That's right, just looking at this little fish, he felt that this person was a master.

The young man was a little panicked when he saw so many people surrounding him, and tremblingly told the origin of the pendant.

It turned out that it was a person living in his home, who exchanged carvings for a little money.And the reason why this young man is so panic is because this person is a foreigner. Although there are a large number of foreign businessmen in the city of gems every day, long-term residence is still not allowed, but this person has lived in his home for more than half a year.

"He, he said, he will leave by boat when he saves up some money." The boy almost cried.

Yunze originally just asked out of curiosity, because he didn't need to look at the hen after eating the taste of eggs, but he didn't expect such a story to come up.

He felt that if he just walked away like this, it might not be a good ending to wait for this boy and that person.Thinking about the craftsmanship of this sculpture, he felt that it was a pity that such a person died, and it would be good to pull him back to be a teacher, the more talents the better.

So he said, "May I go and see him?"

The young man packed his things with trembling hands, Yunze gave him a few shell coins as compensation for lost work, and said, "I'm sorry, my child, for delaying your business."

The young man glanced at him, and silently took the shell coins: "It's okay." His home is in a very remote place, full of small alleys, residents dump domestic garbage on the ground every day, and there are a lot of sea fish offal and human and animal excrement. So forget about the mess.

Yunze and the others got used to staying in Curry, but they suddenly returned to the slum environment a few years ago, and it was messier, dirtier and smellier, and everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, they arrived at the boy's home after that—I don't know if it should be called home. It is a stone cave with many people living in it. With a stone slab, the area is divided. The home that the boy said is divided by two stone slabs range.

Yunze originally thought that the master who made the little fish was a middle-aged man, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a sickly and beautiful man, with worn clothes on his body, his face was haggard and vicissitudes, like a famous painting that has been crumpled by someone, but he couldn’t Cover up your innocence.

His long hair hangs over his body, his face is pale, and his fingertips are an unhealthy purple color, but looking at the calluses on his hands, it seems that he really made them.

"Strange, why do I think this person looks familiar?" Yunze always felt as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it.

"Who are you looking for?" The sickly handsome man coughed, his voice neither humble nor overbearing, and looked up at them.

"Excuse me, are you the owner of this little fish? I'm looking for a carver. I wonder if you are interested in working for me?" Yunze said in Taixi.

"Minis?" Yunze waited for Minis to translate, but seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, he tugged on his sleeve.

Meinis was about to translate, but the sickly handsome man asked in the official language of Taixi with a slight accent: "Are you sure you want me, a cripple who has only had a few years to live?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, multilingualism is not very common in this era.

Can he also speak the official language of Taixi?Yunze suddenly had a lot of curiosity. This person looks like a noble son who has suddenly fallen into poverty, but can the nobles of this era develop such superb carving skills?

"With your skills, a few years is worth more than ten years of others. Your hands can bestow souls on cold stones. How can you be useless?" Yun Ze said.

He really wanted to recruit him.Although it is a person of unknown origin, it is not a problem to be placed on a small boat. These days, nobles will also take in some useful subordinates when they travel on envoys, so just be careful.

The sickly handsome man laughed, and his smile gave him a stronger sense of familiarity, but Yunze couldn't remember it no matter what.

"Your Majesty does not give up, I am willing to follow you."

He packed up his things, a box of tools, and some money, and gave it all to the boy: "Go and buy a house, a field, and a cow, and live a good life."

The boy took the money: "Aren't you looking for someone?"

"I will continue to look for it." The man said after being silent for a while, then walked in front of Yunze, and changed the language of Taixi, "I'm ready, my lord."

In this way, after coming out, the gems were not bought, and a sick craftsman was first hired.

"Congratulations, Your Highness Shenzi, for meeting such a skilled sculptor." The young city lord complimented him, and then asked in a low voice, "I wonder if His Highness is interested in those gemstones of good quality?"

To be honest, Yunze just wanted to go shopping and enjoy the fun of Taobao. In fact, he himself didn't really want to buy any gems.So he told the young city lord directly: "Thank you, young city lord, I already have a lot of gems, but I often hear people talking about the city of gems, thinking that this should be the place where the rainbow sleeps, so I took a detour and wanted to take a look at the gems. City."

The Young City Master only asked tentatively, but since Yunze wasn't interested, he stopped mentioning it.Yunze said that the city of gems is the sleeping place of the rainbow. This metaphor is very beautiful. When people hear it, they feel that this is a dreamy city full of bright colors, and it also has a kind of innocence and interest like a fairy tale.

In comparison, the City of Gems is more straightforward and less romantic.

Yunze used the phrase "Rainbow Sleeping Place" to make the young city lord of this port city happy to accompany him for a day, but in the end this group of people didn't buy anything, and the gems on the street were indeed a bit mediocre.

On the other hand, the local snakes holding precious gems in the city of gems have found out the identity of Yunze, the son of Taixi.They were even more unwilling to give up such big customers with purchasing power. Even if the young city lord said that Yunze didn't seem to want to buy any gems, they still wanted to give it a try.

Of course you can't buy and sell by force. Taixi's god son stands behind the mighty Taixi. Even the monarchs of their own country dare not neglect such a big man, let alone them.

But it's always okay to take out the best collection and recommend yourself, right?

Yunze lived on the boat, and these people came to see him with the box in their arms, and then they went to the seaside port, watching the huge silhouette of the boat in the night, swallowing their saliva.

Everyone came to the door with their things in their arms, and it seemed impolite not to see each other, so Yunze agreed to see each other, but only one person in the family could come.

The people who came to introduce themselves with gems carefully climbed onto the tall ship under the swords and guns of the soldiers. Although they were very curious and excited, they did not dare to make any unnecessary movements, lest they be misunderstood by others and killed them on the spot.

Yunze put on his robe and told the businessman to wait for him in the living room, where many lamps had already been turned on, making it look like daytime.

Yunze heard people say, don't look at gemstones under the light, it seems that the color will be cast, but it's all here, it doesn't hurt to look at it.

The gem merchants walked in one by one, and they were awed by the magnificent living room.

Carved wooden windows, silk gauze curtains hanging from the floor, the compartments are separated by crystal bead curtains, and a whole piece of Persian-style wool blanket with patterns and colors is spread on the floor.The furniture inside is made of golden silk, golden like golden satin, and like the sparkling lake water under the sun.The back of Jinsinan's seat was inlaid with jasper screens and satin cushions. A handsome white sea dongqing looked at them sharply. The stands on which this bird of prey stood were silver and gold.

Except for Costin, these are all the things that this ship comes with, and Yunze would not choose such a wealthy style if he had to arrange it himself.

But this style of 'rich and tasteful' is a critical blow to these gem merchants who are used to sitting on the sky in their own houses.

Before they set off, they were full of confidence. They all felt that their gems were peerless beauties, and Taixi's god son would easily kneel under the brilliance of the gems.But when they saw this terrifying giant ship, they felt a little bit in their hearts, thinking that things were not that simple.

Now that they have entered this reception room for entertaining guests, their self-confidence has been shattered into scum.

At this moment, the maid pushed open a door, and Yunze and Menis walked in. He was wearing a simple and elegant cotton robe with some patterns embroidered on the neckline, which made the room look very simple.But he was very imposing, even though he was smiling and had only a friend and a maid by his side, he never dared to make trouble in front of him.The businessman lowered his head and could almost hear the beating of his own heart.

"Why don't you sit down?" Yun Ze smiled and invited them to sit down after sitting down.

The businessman carefully sat down on the chair like a work of art.

Seeing that they were all silent like mussels, Yunze was surprised: "Didn't they say there are gems, why didn't they talk?"

The merchants looked at each other, they didn't know what to say, before they came in, they thought they had a peerless beauty, but after they came in, they realized that it was just Xiaojiabiyu.The gold-gold wood they sat under seemed a little prettier.

It is said that the Kingdom of God has trees made of gold, and the fruits grown on the trees are all kinds of precious stones. Could it be true?If this is the case, how can the Son of God value the things they brought?

In the end, it was the oldest one who spoke: "Our Mogan country is rich in gemstones, and every [-] pieces will produce a high-quality product. Small businessmen who come here don't have that kind of vision. They don't know whether gemstones are good or bad. Store it up and wait for discerning guests like His Highness. So knowing that Your Highness is coming, we are bold enough to come here with treasures and ask His Highness to have a look. It may not be in His Highness’s eyes, but it is also the best thing we have.”

As he spoke, he opened the wooden box, and the light reflected in the box under the light.
