The Little Lucky Girl

Caixia looked at her and Zheng Huan and the other two standing awkwardly behind her with sympathy, and gestured to Chao Mo: "Bring them a chair to sit on as well."

Ming Youyou continued, "But you can rest assured here. With Lord Tao in charge, no one dares to commit crimes based on their status. The teachers in the academy also said that our Dayu has the strictest laws among the Three Kingdoms. Don't look down on the three of them as insignificant, but their families are all powerful. They are either princes or generals, but they will still be exiled if they beat someone up."

Zheng Huan and the other two: ...

Never mind, just say whatever you like.

Caixia felt even more sympathetic, "Please bring some more food."

Zheng Huan and the other two did not want to eat this sentimental food, but when they heard that it was dried fish made from whale meat, the ignorant ones took it silently.

Ming Youyou saw that Caixia was very curious about exile, so she told them how difficult it was to walk on the road, how hungry they were, and how miserable they were. It was so miserable that Caixia decided to give each of them a purse as a gift, which she had to accept.

Feng Xu felt extremely embarrassed, and immediately threw the gift to Ming Youyou after getting on the carriage. As a result, he saw Ming Youyou opening a purse and pouring it into her hands...

Colorful things like pebbles came out one after another, and her little hands were unable to hold them all.

Feng Xu helped pick one up dully, "This, this, this, is this an agate?"

Although it is a rough stone with an irregular shape, you can vaguely see through the leather that it is a large piece and the color is very bright.

"This piece is amber." Lu Tai picked out a piece from Ming Youyou's hand and said.

"And this pearl, if it were bigger, it would be worthy of being a tribute." Zheng Huan also exclaimed.

Ming Youyou thought pearls were the most valuable. Upon hearing this, she immediately put down her purse and held it tightly. Then she looked at the gray stones and asked, "Are these also gems?"

It seems to be true.

Feng Xu licked his face and took back the purse he had thrown away. After opening it, he found that the quantity and size were not as good as Ming Youyou's, but the total value was still very good.

He said in a hoarse voice: "What did Miss Caixia say just now? This is a local specialty from their hometown. They asked us to play with it. Are the people from their hometown so arrogant?"

"You always called me black girl before. Why do you call me Miss just because of a purse?" Lu Tai looked down on him.

"I'm afraid these things are very easy to get locally, so they don't value them." Feng Xu pretended not to hear the ridicule and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "No wonder the caravan worships him like an ancestor. He is simply their God of Wealth."

"Then the items brought by the caravan this time are probably priceless. We'd better tell Lord Tao about it." Zheng Huan analyzed.

"Okay, let's go now. I can give the gems to Madam Tao and the others as well." Ming Youyou said as she picked them up in her hands. "Leave the two biggest ones for my mother. The red one is for Madam Tao, and the pink one is for Master Wu Niangzi. Oh, she's getting married soon, so give another one to her. And Aunt Luo..."

Seeing that she had counted and distributed all the beautiful gems in her hand, Zheng Huan and Lu Tai handed over their purses as well, saying, "We have no use for these, so you can keep them all."

Feng Xu looked at the two of them and had to hand the purse over again with a painful heart.

Ming Youyou didn't want any. "You can give them to your family if you don't need them. I don't need so much."

Moreover, the gems need to be processed by someone else to be turned into jewelry. They have recently spent a lot of money on building a new house, and the money-loving Ming Youyou has to work hard to protect her savings.

"Then I'll pick two for my aunt and sister." Zheng Huan took two pieces of medium size, and Lu Tai also picked two pieces at random.

Feng Xu muttered that there were many people in his family and took several with a red face.

Magistrate Tao has already sent people to investigate the caravan that Chao Mo is in, but this caravan has always only entered the port from Yangzhou, and then went all the way to Da Qi and Daliang, and never sold goods in Dayu, so they have not yet fully understood the strength of the caravan.

After seeing the gems brought by Ming Youyou and his companions, Magistrate Tao took a deep breath. This casual gift was already very shocking. The caravan had carefully selected them...

He felt that if he could get this batch of goods, the iron ore and horse trade with the grassland this year should be secure.

However, the caravan never traded within Dayu. To put it bluntly, they thought they were not that rich and were looked down upon. Even if they sold the goods to them this time out of favor, it would only be a one-time deal.

Magistrate Tao called Ming Youyou over and asked, "Has the young lady's condition improved?"

"It's much better now," Ming Youyou said proudly. "After taking the medicine for three days, her legs felt numb and her toes could move slightly. Now it's been ten days and she can use strength in her whole foot."

"Are you sure you can cure it completely?"

"It's hard to say right now," Ming Youyou knew that doctors were not allowed to say anything for sure, but she could still reveal a little to Lord Tao, "He should be able to get out of bed and walk around in another month, and maybe he'll be fully recovered in two months."

"Well, well," Magistrate Tao began to pace around the room excitedly, "What do you think of that young lady's character? Does she have a say in the caravan?"

"Sir, you don't want to do business with her, do you?" Ming Youyou chuckled, "The look in your eyes right now is exactly the same as the look my father has when he sees a fat sheep, no, when he sees a big client."

Ahem, Magistrate Tao calmed down immediately, "Do you think it's possible?"

"Sister Caixia is a very nice person, and she is smarter than we thought. Zheng Huan said that she just lived in a simpler environment before, and she can't speak the language here, otherwise she would be very capable."

They once asked Caixia indirectly whether she knew the value of those gems. Caixia did not explain directly, but told them what other beautiful stones there were in her hometown, what the caravan used in exchange, and even asked about the local prices in the capital and Yuqing County.

"But I think their tribe and Chao Mo's caravan have a very pleasant cooperation, so it's unlikely that they'll change people," Ming Youyou frowned and thought.

"But Sister Caixia's words do carry weight. For example, she thought my facial cream was useful, so she asked Chao Mo to buy it. Chao Mo paid for it without saying a word and almost bought out all the goods in my store. So if Sister Caixia is willing to do business with us, the caravan leader should also consider it."

Magistrate Tao was very satisfied with this expectation, and he did not want to separate the caravan and do business on his own. He originally just wanted to grab some market share from Da Qi and Daliang. Magistrate Tao had already made some concessions, and things seemed to become simpler.
