Chapter 1195 Postscript 51·You still have to go to the drug store to find the ore
Zhu Tangxi, who was afraid that others would make fun of her if she frequently took the initiative to meet her lover, finally came to the southern suburbs for the third time.
She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, feeling uncomfortable with the dust here.
"Put this on." Xie Yan handed over several pairs of cotton masks and distributed them to the princess and her maids.
Zhu Tangxi put it on honestly and said distressedly: "It's really hard for you to be in a place like this all day long."
Xie Yan pointed to the Li cement kiln in the distance: "Those workers are the ones who work hard. I spent money to make a lot of masks and gave them to them. Some of them didn't wear them. Especially those who did heavy physical work, they said it was hard to breathe with masks on.
."
Zhu Tangxi stood nearby and watched Xie Yan busy for a while: "The fluorite you want, I asked many people, and they all said they had never heard of this kind of ore."
"Maybe it's called differently." Xie Yan had a headache about this.
I went shopping just by the way, mainly to look for fluorite.
The correct* version of this + content is in the 6/9* book. Let’s read it! [6*9*S*H*U-B-A.CX]
Zhu Tangxi could no longer suppress his smile, but he reproached: "Since money is tight, we should save some money."
Zhu Tangxi hid her smile and said calmly: "It's okay. I need to try it on."
Xie Yan asked again: "Does the shopkeeper know where the pearl of the night was mined?"
The two left together, leaving behind a group of overfed spectators.
Qingluan did not act as a light bulb and took the initiative to walk outside the carriage.
Damn it, she was in the car just now, she couldn't be pretending.
But a naturalist pen pal, based on Xie Yan's description of fluorite, suggested that he go to a drug store or jewelry store to take a look.
Still not sure.
Wandering from the first floor to the second floor, and then to the third floor, the shopkeeper took out a gem and said: "This is the best luminous pearl. It has no impurities and will shine at night."
At noon, we had dinner at the princess’s house again.
The two got on the carriage and sat opposite each other in the carriage.
Qingluan reminded outside.
The two young women also came forward to exchange greetings with Xie Yan. One was obviously married, and the other was still in the boudoir. You could tell by looking at their buns.
Xie Yan first used a magnifying glass to observe its texture, then took out glass and scratched the surface of amethyst quartz.
The shopkeeper shook his head: "I don't know. This luminous pearl was purchased from a merchant from Jiangnan."
Xie Yan's heart felt hot, and he quickly sat over, held the princess's hand and said, "Sister is so beautiful."
Zhu Tangxi asked: "Do you want to look for me again?"
Zhu Tangxi imagined holding hands and going shopping, and she blushed with embarrassment and said in a soft tone: "If you like her that much, you can hold her hand when no one is around."
The more I watch, the more I like Xie Yan. He is arrogant in front of others and gentle in others. Princess sister, you are so good at it!
This thing can not only be used to burn cement, but can also be used to smelt steel, solving some of the current converter problems of the Ming Dynasty. For example, it can remove sulfur, lower the melting point of slag, shorten the smelting time, etc.
But you can take it back and give it a try.
He not only asked the princess to inquire about fluorite, but also asked the Ministry of Industry and the Li family to inquire, but they all said that they had never heard of it.
Zhu Tangxi closed her eyes and fell asleep, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Xie Yan pointed to his clothes: "There is dust on my body, so I'm afraid it will stain my sister."
He suspected that it was fluorite, but he couldn't be sure unless he scratched the glass a few times to test the hardness. But if it was fluorite, a few scratches would destroy the luminous pearl.
"I miss my sister very much." Xie Yan said earthy love words.
Xie Yan was happy because Yingshi had a new look, but Zhu Tangxi was happy because she had received her first gift from her lover.
Xie Yan asked: "Has the shopkeeper heard of fluorite?"
Xie Yan took out a magnifying glass and looked at the night pearl carefully.
After visiting several drug stores in a row, Xie Yan finally saw the real owner: "What is this?"
Zhu Tangxi said: "They must be a couple. Unmarried men and women would not dare."
There are quite a lot of fluorite mines in Henan, and there are them around Luoyang.
Moreover, there is not only this kind of fluorspar, and cheaper raw ore must be found in the future.
That look, that look, that figure, and all the charm, made Xie Yan dumbfounded.
Xie Yan took off his mask and stuffed it into his pocket, and said to Li Dunshi: "I'm going into the city to have a look. According to the original plan, you will be in charge of today's test."
"Does sister like it?" Xie Yan asked.
Everyone was secretly stunned, and they were even more sure of the scandal.
Who is the prey? There is an honor guard when a princess goes out, but since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Princess of Ming Dynasty has basically been a simple servant. Only when she leaves Luoyang or goes to the outer suburbs of Luoyang, she will bring an honor guard and bodyguards.
Women should look after those who please themselves.
Xie Yan asked about the prices of other jewelry and found that he couldn't even afford the ones on the third floor.
Li Dunshi was overjoyed, he could finally take charge on his own.
"Okay." Zhu Tangxi smiled slightly.
"yes!"
On the street next to the luxury clothing store last time, there was an entire street selling jewelry, and there were also several banks.
After leaving the drug store, both of them were very happy.
As the carriage swayed forward, Zhu Tangxi said: "You are sitting so far away, how many days do you have to grow apart after not seeing each other?"
The shopkeeper's answer: "Three thousand strings."
"What's the price?" Xie Yan asked.
Zhu Tangxi added: "These two are ladies from Mrs. Cai's family..."
Zhu Tangxi actually liked hearing such love words and wished Xie Yan could tell her all day long.
Seeing how fascinated he was, Zhu Tangxi couldn't help but laugh: "Idiot!"
Even the mother and daughter subconsciously distanced themselves from each other.
Zhu Tangxi wanted to withdraw her jade hand and go out.
Finally going down to the first floor, Xie Yan chose a necklace. When he learned that the price was one hundred guan, he said to the shopkeeper: "This is beautiful, I bought it."
Only Xie Yan was very close to the princess, and their arms even occasionally touched each other when they were looking at the jewelry.
Qingluan had already opened the side door of the carriage, and Zhu Tangxi's appearance changed instantly. The little girl's appearance disappeared without a trace, her eyes were firm, her expression was calm, and she stepped out of the car elegantly.
These flattery made Zhu Tangxi very useful, because the necklace was a gift from Xie Yan.
Zhu Tangxi glanced at him and leaned lazily in the car.
Zhu Tangxi was like a proud white swan. From the moment she got off the carriage to wandering around the store, she held her head high and held her chest high without being arrogant. She also walked with a rhythm, even her swaying steps seemed regular and noble.
It makes people afraid to get too close.
You don't need such high quality.
Xie Yan then asked the drugstore shopkeeper where he purchased the amethyst quartz from and whether there was any other ore with similar properties.
She called Qingluan over, took off the necklace around her neck, put on the one Xie Yan bought, and looked at it again and again in the mirror.
This noble and arrogant look can make countless men feel ashamed and cannot even muster the courage to look at her.
"But I want to hold hands with my sister all the time." Xie Yan said.
It's a pity that Xie Yan is a straight man at heart after all, and he didn't notice that the princess's hairstyle and jewelry had changed at all. Who would pay attention to this thing? Xie Yan said routine love words, and the carriage gradually arrived at its destination.
The shopkeeper quickly flattered him: "Scholar Xie is really good at choosing. Although this necklace is not expensive, its style is unique and it will complement the princess perfectly when she wears it!"
At this moment, four guards were clearing the way in front, and Xie Yan got out of the car behind the princess. Passers-by looked at her with disgusting looks.
Xie Yan said: "Let's go to the drug store and have a look."
Xie Yan quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to Mrs. Cai." "Thank you, bachelor." Mrs. Cai bowed in return and secretly observed the two of them eating melon.
Zhu Tangxi even met three acquaintances, the wives and daughters of a powerful man in Luoyang. The mother and daughter were shopping in this store at the moment.
Zhu Tangxi's face was expressionless: "I don't believe it. You've been thinking about doing experiments all day long."
Sure enough, Xie Yan said: "Sister, the bonus of one thousand gu from the Ministry of Industry has been distributed two days ago. When I make more money in the future, I will buy something better for my sister."
Xie Yan said: "I am the son of a country gentry. My father is an upright official, and my family doesn't have much money. If we don't improve cement and earn more, we can't let my sister support the family in the future, right? I also said that I want to support my sister."
After chatting for a few words, the mother, daughter, and the store clerk gathered around the princess and went in.
"Yes, I am a perfect match for Your Highness." Mrs. Cai also reacted.
Xie Yan was too lazy to study it anymore. Even if this thing was fluorite, he wouldn't dare use it to burn cement.
"Your Highness, we are here!"
Xie Yan could only slowly observe various jewelry, and felt that fluorite should not be used as gemstones to make jewelry. Because the hardness of this thing is not high, it is easy to cause wear and tear, and it will not look good if it is stained.
"I don't care, anyway, I want to make a lot of money to support my sister." Xie Yan continued to tease.
Xie Yan still didn't let go, and whispered: "Sister, last time I was wandering around Luoyang, I found a couple holding hands on the street."
She pretended as if nothing had happened, but did not take off the new necklace. Qingluan was naturally sensible and quietly put away the old necklace.
Then I went downstairs and asked about the price on the second floor. I was able to buy two things after losing all my money.
Xie Yan has only seen fluorite in the "Civil Engineering Geology" textbook, and has never encountered a real object.
They walked to the door of a jewelry store, and the shopkeeper, clerk, and customers came to greet them one after another.
Zhu Tangxi still closed his eyes: "No."
Zhu Tangxi didn't say anything. He already had a premonition in his heart and happily waited for Xie Yan to give him a gift.
This time it was Zhu Tangxi's turn to be nervous. This was the first time she held hands with Xie Yan. Her breathing quickened and she subconsciously wanted to pull back. But Xie Yan's hold was very tight. She twitched a few times and then chose to give up.
The carriage drove like this for a while, and Xie Yan wanted to play the love game again. When he had nothing to say, he asked, "Sister, do you miss me?"
Moreover, she specially changed her hairstyle today and wore a special set of jewelry. I hope Xie Yan can praise this.
The corners of Zhu Tangxi's mouth turned up more obviously, and she could hardly suppress her smile, but she still said arrogantly: "Who wants you to raise me?"
Xie Yan then let go and said with a smile: "That's settled."
Xie Yan said to the princess again: "How about accompanying your sister to the city for shopping today?"
"Liu Lang, this is Mrs. Cai from Raoyanghou's family, whom you met at the polo club before," Zhu Tangxi introduced, "Raoyanghou established himself as a diligent king four years ago."
The shopkeeper of the drugstore said: "Amethyst quartz is mainly used to treat palpitations, hesitation, epilepsy, cough due to cold lungs and infertility due to cold uterus."
The shopkeeper shook his head: "I have limited knowledge and have never heard of this thing."
This was not outside. When they were playing in the garden after dinner, Zhu Tangxi deliberately stayed very close, waiting for Xie Yan to take her hand for a walk.
Xie Yan was thinking about fluorite and didn't react for a while.
After wandering in the garden for half an hour, Xie Yan said goodbye and left. He hurried back to the southern suburbs and asked the Li family to help purchase goods...
Watching Qingluan send the person away, Zhu Tangxi looked at Xie Yan's back and stamped his feet: "Elm head!"
