Chapter 658 Fortunately, you are the emperor
The floor of this warehouse is full of stones, all of which are round and shiny. The large ones are like soup bowls, and the small ones are only a little bit like fingernails.
This is a warehouse dedicated to sorting. All stones transported from Vos will pass the previous level here, and professionals will separate them according to the category.
Except for the largest piece of stone that was ready to be transported into Kyoto, the rest of the stones were also placed here.
In the corner of the wall, there was something covered with broken straw mats, leaning alone in the corner. At first glance, I thought it was a sack of stones and straw mats stacked together.
Master Lu lifted the straw mat, and the sack pieces with broken edges were lifted. After they were lifted, a large stone with a round surface and creamy white and yellow skin appeared.
"Such big seed jade?" Chu Qing couldn't believe it, but he opened all the sack pieces and was no longer confident. Only the stone covered by the sack was smooth and round, and the rest was shattered and shattered.
This is a large stone with a length, width and height of about two and a half feet, and it is measured to weigh one ton.
Master Lu found an axe and used his blade to sway back and forth on the gray stone skin. Soon, the layer of Mama Lailai's stone skin was scraped off, revealing the true face of the stone.
It was a piece of oily and shiny seed jade, and the skin before was fake!
"I'm afraid that someone will see it, Brother Huang and I wrapped a layer of glutinous rice mortar, haha." Master Lu explained: "It's so rare to have such a large seed material. Girl, look here, there, there are so many obvious blue and white blue and whites, and the skin is blue and white, and mutton fat will be produced. This is the best mutton fat jade!"
Huang Zhong also said: "Those kids said that they were so big that they must be fake jade. Brother Lu and I followed them and said, "What do they know? The less they are good, the less attention they attract!"
Master Lu pointed to a not-so-conspicuous depression: "Look! How delicate!"
The window was opened, revealing a piece of jade meat that was as delicate as a palm. The delicate feeling was not as good as the egg white.
Master Lu said, "Girl, you and Xiaobao have saved this stone. If you look back, you can deal with it. Just this piece of material, even if you knock off your fist, it will be enough for ten thousand taels of gold."
This is... the two old men are saving "private money" for Chu Qing!
"The family is big and the business is bright," said Master Lu. "Don't send out everything. Keep it for yourself, so don't tell anyone, ah?"
Huang Zhong said: "This was not reported. Our boys thought it was a piece of ash. Only the three of us knew about this. Don't tell me."
Chu Qing's nose was blocked and his heart was full.
************************************
Chu Qing arrived in Kyoto on the 29th day of the 12th lunar month, and he was destined to be unable to celebrate the New Year at his own home.
Officials above the fifth rank need to go to Beijing to report their duties. Chu Qing has a fifth rank idle position. This time, she is qualified to enter the palace without the emperor's order alone.
Since officials in various places are required to report their duties this year, the emperor naturally doesn’t have to take a leave of annual leave. He doesn’t have to take a break, and no one can get off. Therefore, on New Year’s Eve and the first day of the lunar calendar, the ministers accompanied the emperor to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. The New Year’s Eve dinner was simple, with four dishes and one soup. The emperor really did spend less money and do more work.
The officials who are far away cannot come back, and even the memorials will not arrive after the New Year, so they escaped the "catastrophe".
Chu Qing was not called in until it was time to have the New Year’s Eve dinner.
When the emperor heard the report, he would not have a large group of people to hold a meeting together, but would either click one person in one or three or four people to go together.
But Chu Qing was not. The emperor deliberately dragged her until the meal started before he could tell her. He summoned all the officials who came to Beijing to sit and wait for dinner together in Linde Hall.
This made Chu Qing suffer.
At the New Year's Eve dinner, the emperor did not go back to the backyard to stay up with a group of wives and children, but instead held a discussion with his ministers. Then they ate and drank, and Chu Qing reported on his work alone. The food was originally simple, and then it came all the way from the kitchen. It was half cold and not hot. After Chu Qing finished reporting, it would not be completely cold?
The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and people know why he is.
Chu Qing took the memorial written by Xue Hou and sat down after picking the skeleton. The soup was slowly fading.
Although a chicken blood tofu soup is nothing special, it is something the emperor likes to drink. The ministers all praised it for its fresh and fragrant taste. Only Chu Qing was still waiting for the emperor's comments, and he could only watch it and not drink it.
Chu Qing was depressed. Now the soup is still warm. The dishes are all served on plates, and the shallow mouth is small, so it has been cold.
I feel wronged when I have a cold meal during the Chinese New Year.
I had been waiting outside the hall for a long time. I had been hungry for most of the day and had been relying on this warm soup to keep my life alive.
However, the emperor thought he had "supported" Chu Qing again because he asked Chu Qing to report the finale, but it was still in public. This was giving Chu Qing a chance, so that the ministers could not argue!
So when he looked at Chu Qing, he looked at him with a question: "What? I'll treat you well."
"My dear friends, try this soup!" said the emperor: "Chicken blood is a good thing, which can replenish serum intestines. It is delicious but not expensive, and it can be afforded by the people."
The ministers responded one by one and drank another spoonful of soup.
Chu Qing could probably move her chopsticks, but she saw her bowed left and right, picked up a pinch of rice with her right chopstick and handed it into her mouth, and held a spoon in her left hand to scooped up the soup. As soon as everyone swallowed the soup, she had swallowed the rice and soup at the same time.
Eat this way, at least it will make the cold meal warmer before eating.
Because his hands moved together, the emperor reminded Chu Qing of the "floating rice" back then, and not only wanted to trick her: "Chu Qing, did you come empty-handed this time when you came to Beijing?"
The emperor did it on purpose. If someone was eating a bite of rice, the emperor would choke him by asking, but who was Chu Qing? He was so careful that he could swallow the rice with the soup. He would not choke without chewing it carefully.
Chu Qing immediately replied: "Return to the emperor: I am not empty-handed when I enter the capital, but I am empty-handed when I enter the palace."
When officials from all walks of life came to Beijing, they brought tribute to the emperor, and they were afraid that their colleagues would not dare to bring too large items. However, they were all very expensive, such as white squids, ivory mats, ginseng, and famous tea.
However, Chu Qing's entry into Beijing has been paid attention to many parties. In addition, the embassy in Vos sent a guard to escort jade materials has long been spread, so it is well known that Chu Qing's transportation of a large piece of jade into Kyoto.
The emperor nodded: "Transport in for me to see."
Chu Qing immediately reported: "It's outside the palace gate. It's easy to get into the palace gate, but I'm afraid it's not easy to go up the steps and enter the palace."
Emperor: "Well, are you all your dear friends full? Come out and have a look when you have enough food!"
Then he turned his eyes to Chu Qing again, which meant: "Are I good to you? Give you a chance to show it!"
This is the emperor. If you change someone, for example, if you change to Chu Yuan, Chu Qing would definitely slap his head: "Do you still let someone eat?"
The emperor had been itchy for a long time, but Chu Qing only entered Beijing on the 29th afternoon. The emperor has been busy listening to reports these days, so he could only bear it. Now he can take a look.
The ministers stood up one after another, waiting for the emperor to go first. Chu Qing took advantage of the opportunity when everyone stood up to block himself and picked up the soup bowl, and poured all the soup and vegetables into his mouth.
