Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 84 - 84 83 Picking up the Gem

?Chapter 84: Chapter 83: Picking up the Gem Chapter 84: Chapter 83: Picking up the Gem Chen Afu specially checked that the Dashun dynasty did not yet have diamonds, so she hasn’t figured out when to introduce these two little stones to the world. But she could sell the other jewels at the right opportunity.

In the wanted notice for the gold thief, the stolen items are also listed, none of which include gold ornaments encrusted with emeralds or rubies.

So, Chen Afu selected three rubies and an emerald. She planned to let Chen Dabao “stumble” upon these gems while picking firewood.

The two emeralds are translucent emerald green, each half the size of a fingertip. One is round and the other is diamond-shaped. She chose a slightly darker round emerald, leaving the preferred one for later. The three rubies, slightly smaller than the emerald, are oval-shaped and seem to have come from the same piece of jewelry.

Now, with over 130 taels of silver, 40 taels of gold, and potentially 200 to 300 taels more from selling these gems, she could amass over 800 taels of silver.

The price here for top-quality land is five taels of silver per mu, while paddy fields are six taels per mu. Whether it’s dry land or paddy fields, she wants to buy over 100 mu, allocate several dozen mu to Chen Ming, and keep 100 for herself – to live the comfortable life of a real small landlord.

She didn’t know how much silver Master Chu would pay, but she guessed that though the Ten Brocade Sparrow was rare and pretty, it couldn’t be worth more than Qi Qi and Hui Hui. However, it’s certain to fetch at least 100 taels of silver. She’d save the money he’d pay for house repairs and to cover next year’s expenses.
