The Queen Mother shook her head and smiled dumbly, "It's nothing more than a few pearls, of course, this golden one is rare," Seeing Concubine Li's disgusted expression, the Queen Mother hurriedly changed her words, "Now this gold bead is rare, so I gave you a few first, this is natural, let's go down for so many years, if we don't give it to you first, will it be difficult to return it to outsiders?" It's just that this pearl is rare, but it is difficult to maintain, all dynasties, so many famous pearls to the present, have not been handed down, why is this? It's just that it's hard to save, after a few decades, this pearl has lost its moisture, I'm afraid it's also like a fish's eye, don't be stingy when the time comes," the Queen Mother joked, "When you are short of money to spend, just buy it."

"What did the Queen Mother say," Concubine Li was so happy that her eyes were dripping, and she looked at the Empress Dowager Cixi with a smile: "The Empress Dowager gave such a precious thing, how dare the concubines take it and sell it." ”

"This thing is rare, but now that we have Sulu, isn't this gold bead a big handful?" The Queen Mother waved her hand angrily, "So let's send a pair to each person first, and when there are more in the future, everyone's pearls will be replaced by that!" ”

The women were overjoyed again, surrounding the Empress Dowager Cixi for a good meal of flattery, and the Empress Dowager was not fluttering in the flattery words, yes, who would hate good words, "This is just a pearl, I have already asked the Li Fan Yuan to give a decree to Burma, and if you don't come to pay tribute, then you will be welcome." "She used Shi Dakai and the other three to pry open the geographical connection between Myanmar and India, although the Burmese king would not directly face the penetration of the British, but also showed them China's strong national strength, which can be leveraged by thousands of people to pry India, in this case, the Burmese king is afraid to think about it, how to go next," Myanmar's jadeite is excellent, "The queen mother touched the emerald jade bracelet on her wrist, the jade is like a bay of clear water, the weather is cold, and it looks more and more green and cold," This green jade is the best, but there are some purple, red and yellow, all of which are excellent, in the past, we didn't have many here, the things made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were brought back from the expedition of Qianlong to Burma, and they were not big, this stone was opened to India," the Queen Mother smiled and said this rebellion, and didn't seem to care at all, "The Ancient Tea Horse Road is a lot smoother, but Myanmar still pays less tribute," the Queen Mother pointed to a light green glass jade jade bamboo branch hairpin on the head of Princess Rongshou and said, "That is still left over from the old year, so, Hmph, the Burmese state despised the Celestial Empire, first called the Li Fan Yuan to question, if he forgot about this tribute, he called the army to remind him. ”

The queen mother said domineeringly, and the Venus of worship flashed in Concubine Li's eyes, "There are also the ivory of Siam in the south and the ruby of Annam, these are all good things, and they will be brought in when the time comes, the Heavenly Empire, we are all the emperor's elders, and this good thing should be ours." ”

The queen mother blew the conch, and she felt embarrassed, the Heavenly Empire, what is it to squeeze the vassals, "Hahaha, this is all an afterword, first send the gold beads down, and I will also quietly tell the emperor, if that Dongjing mentions any good things in the South Seas, you must also tell me, and ask someone to take it." ”

It's rare for the Queen Mother to talk about these dresses, Concubine Li Guifei also said with great interest, and said for a while that the cotton underwear she wore these days was light and soft, much closer than silk, and it should be suitable for winter, and said that on New Year's Day, the foreign woman entered the palace to congratulate the Queen Mother of the two palaces, what clothes should she wear, the Queen Mother just smiled and listened and didn't interject, after a while, Concubine Li suddenly remembered something, "Queen Mother, I heard something outside." ”

"What?" The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Li and stopped talking, so she opened her mouth to comfort, "What can't we say, you know my temperament, you are too lazy to guess dumb riddles, just say everything." ”

Concubine Li said, "Then the concubine said, I heard that there is a gold mine in Jinzhou?" ”

"You're well-informed," the Queen Mother laughed.

"Is it true? The concubine Ama heard it from the Tianjin ferry merchants. "Concubine Li looked at the Queen Mother earnestly." This is no small matter. ”

Everyone looked at the Queen Mother with blazing eyes, and the Queen Mother took a sip of tea and nodded, "There is a gold mine, and it is a gold mine that can be picked up anywhere!" ”

"No wonder," Li Guifei exclaimed, "It is said that the people who came back from Jinzhou are all generous and tight, and they don't change their colors with a lot of money, no wonder they are called Jinzhou!" It's just that," Concubine Li was a little suspicious, "Did the Queen Mother already know that there was a gold mine there, so she named it Jinzhou?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said nothing, everyone looked at it, but Concubine Li said, "This Golden State, our family, can we go?" Dowager. ”

"Why can't you go?" The Queen Mother said with a smile, "Originally, I encouraged everyone to go to Jinzhou, didn't everyone who went have to give land and houses?" I originally meant to ask your mother's family to go first, drink the first soup, you are good, disgusted with the distance, and said that it is cold, so one by one they refused to go, if I didn't ask Jin Gui to quickly find out the gold mine, I am afraid that you all still think that it is a barren land of exile.
