Chapter Seventy-Four, The Gamble That Must Be Lost

Di Chuan said with a smile: "Exactly, gambling on stones is the most test of a person's eyesight, experience and luck, if you can guess whether there is jade in the original stone selected from your Yunlang Jade Pavilion, you will win this battle." ”

It's just that the smile on his face is extremely unnatural, and there is always a hint of conspiracy.

Ning Wanbang's pupils shrank, and the flesh on his eyelids began to tremble slightly, he had been in business for more than ten years and knew countless people, and he could already faintly smell it from Di Chuan's expression.

This person is afraid that he is sure of this gamble, otherwise, he would never be so indifferent.

Because, Ning Wanbang knows that if a thing is a gambling word, whether it can win or not depends on luck, and gambling stones cannot be an exception.

No one dares to assert that luck will be on their side. Unless, this gambler has a special ability to change the outcome at will.

And Di Chuan, who is under the steps, happens to have the identity of a treasure connoisseur of the Star Chamber of Commerce!

However, even though Ning Wanbang knew that this was almost a gamble that he was sure to lose, but now that he was ready to send it, he could only stubbornly say: "Then Ning Mou will gamble with Your Excellency." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and gave the shopkeeper at the door a look, motioned for him to select a rough stone that met the requirements, and immediately stared at Di Chuan with a solemn face.

Di Chuan gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Very good, this is the courage that everyone Ning should have." ”

He folded his arms and waited.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was turning around to pick the rough stone, the faces of the people in the county town immediately bloomed, and they seemed to have expected that they and the others would win this gamble.

Even Xiang Kun, who had been putting on a dead face, was like bathing in a spring breeze at this time, his face was bloody, and when he looked at Qin Shuyu, he actually had the pleasure of revenge.

We'll see if you can pretend to be that easy.

Wang Heng, who was sitting on the chair, couldn't help but look at Qin Zhuofeng and Ye Chenyi beside him, and whispered, "Brother Qin, Brother Ye, what do you think of this gamble?"

Qin Zhuofeng's thick eyebrows furrowed, and he said, "Ning everyone will definitely lose." ”

Ye Chenyi nodded and agreed: "That's right, Di Chuan, as a treasure connoisseur of the Star Chamber of Commerce, came prepared, and he must have a handle on this gamble, after all, he can't afford to lose at all." ”

Wang Heng sighed: "He did win the Ning family." ”

His voice suddenly changed, and he actually smiled: "However, if you want to win your Qin boy, it seems that it is not so simple. ”

Qin Zhuofeng and Ye Chenyi were stunned at the same time: "Oh?"

Wang Heng did not agree, but turned his head to look to the right.

Qin Zhuofeng and Ye Chenyi also leaned forward slightly with their upper bodies, followed Wang Heng's line of sight and looked over, and sure enough, they saw that the kid in his family still had the leisure to talk and laugh with the two prospective daughters-in-law at this time.

After a while, the three of them lay back on their chairs and glanced at each other, their expressions were indescribably weird, some were shocked, some were happy, some were helpless, anyway, their feelings were very complicated.

They are becoming more and more unable to see through this child who they have watched grow up since childhood.

Originally, the few people standing in the Yunlang Jade Pavilion were still stepping on broken steps, worried, and it could be seen that the young master Qin was acting so lightly, and under his influence, they were gradually able to stand still.

After a short time, the shopkeeper had already handed over a rough stone the size of his fist to Ning Wanbang.

This rough stone is gray-brown all over, and it really does not show a trace of jade, although the surface is pitted, but there is no thallium gap.

Looking at this rough stone, which looks like an ordinary stone, the spectators quietly took a few steps closer and looked at each other, they didn't understand the way to play gambling stones, but they understood that this must be a wonderful show.

Ning Wanbang took this rough stone and stretched it out in front of Di Chuan, and then rolled the rough stone in his palm several times before saying, "According to Your Excellency, this rough stone is okay?"

Di Chuan only glanced at it slightly, then smiled: "There is nothing more suitable than this." ”

Ning Wanbang took a deep breath and asked, "Who will come first?"

Di Chuan stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, and said with a smile: "You are the Lord, you come first." ”

Ning Wanbang said: "Okay." ”

He didn't talk nonsense, and began to look at the rough stone carefully.

After a moment, he suddenly bent his fingers, gripped the rough stone tightly, and rubbed it vigorously, and as the force increased, more and more sand was spilled on the rough stone.

Immediately, he squatted down again, pinched the rough stone and placed it at a height of one foot from the stone steps, and as soon as his fingers loosened, the rough stone "bang bang bang..."

Ning Wanbang picked up the rough stone casually, walked in front of Di Chuan, and said in a loud voice: "The color of the skin shell of this rough stone is gray and brown, which is extremely unnatural. The texture is also relatively loose, and there are signs of a large amount of sand falling without a knife. When he struck, the sound was dull, so Ning concluded that there was no jade in this rough stone. ”

After saying that, he handed the original stone to Di Chuan, and the corners of his mouth pursed slightly: "I don't know if Your Excellency will come to the same conclusion as Ning." ”

He was originally very confident that he had cut many pieces of rough stones of this quality in the past ten years, and nine out of ten would not exist in jade.

But at this time, there was no trace of joy on his face, because he knew that things would not go so smoothly.

Di Chuan took the original stone and smiled indifferently: "Whether it is the same needs to be known by my eyes." ”

He held the rough stone in his palm and looked at it carefully.

Seeing this, among those spectators who did not see the real situation clearly, some people already exclaimed in a low voice: "Ning is worthy of having a sharp eye, and he has seen so many details in such a short period of time, which is very strong." ”

"It seems that everyone Ning wants to win. ”

"It should be a tie, and this treasure connoisseur of the Star Pavilion should also be able to see it. ”

However, just as they were bowing their heads to talk about these few words, they heard a voice that was neither small nor small but unusually clear said: "I guess there must be jade in this rough stone." ”

The spectators raised their eyes in amazement, only to see Na Di Chuan holding the original stone with his hand flat, and laughed loudly: "And it is a superb jade." ”

Belch...

The two treasure connoisseurs, two diametrically opposed conclusions, made a group of onlookers look at each other, which greatly surprised them.

Even though Ning Wanbang was mentally prepared, when he heard Di Chuan's words, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and said in shock: "I don't know how Your Excellency came up with this result." ”

The crowd of onlookers also put up flowers, only they don't know why.

Di Chuan returned the original stone to Ning Wanbang, but he said something else, and said with a smile: "I have never paid attention to the process. ”

Seeing this, Ning Wanbang didn't want to ask, he took the rough stone, and handed the original stone to the jade master who had already called the shopkeeper to the steps.

The jade master was familiar with the road, and quickly placed the original stone under the copper stone on the wooden water bench, lightly put his feet on the pedal board, and suddenly let out a long groan, and said, "Explain." ”

I saw him slam on the pedal board with both feet, and the copper stone turned rapidly alternately one after the other.

Immediately, the jade master held the original stone, slowly pushed close to the high-speed rotating copper stone, and at the moment when the stone and stone touched, only to hear the sound of "buzz", and the gravel flew up.

At this time, the surroundings of the entire Yunlang Jade Pavilion suddenly became surprisingly silent, only the rapid sound of copper stones rubbing against the original stone, and it seemed that his own heartbeat could be heard.

Whether it was the people in the Yunlang Jade Pavilion who knew about it, the people from the county town, or the spectators who were kept in the dark, they all pursed their lips, held their breath, straightened their necks, and stared at the rough stone in the hand of the jade master whose shell was being thinned little by little, as if even the air was gradually falling into stagnation.

Everyone was anxiously waiting for the jade master to announce the results.

Under this not thick leather shell, there is no jade.

Burst!

After only half a cup of tea, the jade master stopped suddenly, and the copper stone quickly stopped turning, and the hearts of everyone present seemed to have stopped suddenly.

Results so quickly?

Sure enough, I saw the jade master pick up the original stone, sit on the stool and slowly turn his body, face the side of the original stone that was rubbed to everyone one by one, and said in a deep voice: "The original stone has shown greenery on this side." ”

What do you mean?

Is it Ning everyone who lost?

The spectators suddenly gathered together, looking anxious and whispering. Watching the play is watching the play, but in their hearts, they are actually inclined to think that the Ning family in their county will win this gamble.

But the next voice completely frustrated their wishes.

Di Chuan stared at Ning Wanbang and said with a smile: "It seems that luck is on my side today, everyone Ning, you lost." ”

However, the situation quickly reversed, allowing the spectators to regain their expectations.

And Wu Caizhi and Zhou Tianwen and the others didn't have time to show joy on their faces, so they heard Ning Wanbang say indifferently: "Your Excellency, don't be in a hurry to make up your mind, this is a piece of jadeite rough, this kind of rough stone is unpredictable, this rubbed out of the green is not a clump, not a strip, not even a sheet, but evenly distributed, and the green is relatively new, maybe it is fake green." ”

Immediately, he turned back to the jade master and shouted, "Wipe again!" ”

Naturally, the jade master would not question the boss's words, so he stepped on the pedal board and began to polish the jade rough again.

Di Chuan was not in a hurry, he reminded with a light smile: "Aren't you afraid of destroying a piece of top-grade jade?"

Ning Wanbang looked at Di Chuan and said, "That's just a more expensive stone." ”

After that, he began to look at his nose and his nose to his heart.

Soon, the jade master picked up the rough stone again and shouted to everyone: "The greenery on this side has disappeared. ”

The rough stone was just on the green side, and at this time, Hao Ran had become a yellowish white stone surface.

Ning Wanbang's eyes lit up, looked at Di Chuan and said with a smile: "In this way, it seems that my luck is better today, and it is Your Excellency who lost." ”

This time, it was the turn of the people in the county town, but there was no impatience in their expressions.

But the bystanders in the county town didn't get excited for long, and they had already heard Di Chuan chuckle and said, "Everyone Ning also said just now that the gambling stone of the jade rough stone is changing rapidly, and if you don't continue to wipe it, how can you know the true face of Lushan inside?"

He turned his head and shouted at the jade master, "Master, please wipe it a little longer." ”

The jade master stepped on the water stool machine again.

Ning Wanbang said with a smile: "Your Excellency, aren't you afraid that the more you grind in, the greater the disappointment?"

Di Chuan smiled faintly: "This is exactly the fun of gambling stones, isn't it?"

Will the situation be reversed again as it was just now?

At this time, this thought was born in everyone's heart.
