Chapter 16: Opening the Stone
Xia Jiumei shook off the other party's hand and looked him up and down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He is not tall and dressed as a small servant, with a pair of inverted triangular eyes, smiling sneakily at her, and looking like he has succeeded in his scheme.
"It's started again, it's really evil......" Someone on the avenue behind him sighed, was pulled by his companion next to him, and hurriedly silenced him, and lowered his head.
It seems that she is a repeat offender, Xia Jiumei frowned slightly.
She doesn't understand the strange rules of Shifang, and under the eyes of everyone, any slight mistake will be spread, and it will not end well at that time.
Her momentary hesitation turned into fear in the eyes of the triangular eye, and he immediately shouted: "Hey brother, there is no regret in the pool, the gambling stone you just said, you have taken out your money bag, but you can't regret it." ”
Xia Jiumei was stunned, looked down at the money bag that Xia Wenye had just thrown to her in her arms, and suddenly realized that she was guilty of it.
Another little guy on the avenue shouted familiarly: "Hey, the rules of the stone workshop, you have to choose a stone when you enter the pool." Boy, as soon as our little master enters the hospital today, you don't want to play tricks! ”
"Little Qiye?" Xia Jiumei followed the little girl's triumphant finger and saw a short young man with a human-like appearance walking over with a fan.
If there are three words to describe what he is wearing, it is: nouveau riche.
"What are you doing in a daze? Our little master is the only son of the former chief steward of the three courts, and he will be the witch servant of the priest in the future, so don't bow quickly! That little guy was domineering, obviously trying to scare Xia Jiumei, so that she could obediently admit defeat and pay the money.
This is Xiao Qiye's tried and tested way to make money.
"Witches? He? Xia Jiumei saw that the little strange master was still very proud, and immediately grinned.
If these guys knew that even the big girl who served her on weekdays was a priest-level figure, what would their expressions be?
Give him a salute back?
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Qiye leaned his neck like an arrogant duck, looking like no one in his eyes, but his heart was already beautiful.
This little white-faced life is quite good, and he has a good master.
The money bag that his young master threw at him was a hundred and ten taels, and this time he could go to Piaoxiang Courtyard to have a good wave.
Thinking of this, he immediately waved his folding fan: "Hurry up, Young Master Ben doesn't have time to spend time with you here!" ”
"That's it!" The little guy followed up and coaxed: "I can tell you, last time I was not as strong as that, but I was personally interrupted by the young master of his family and made amends to our little master!" ”
Xia Jiumei's face suddenly sank.
Xiao Qiye's expression was gloomy and a little deformed with pleasure: "That kid dares to break the rules in the Tianci Stone Workshop, he is looking for death!" ”
Hmph, the people who stayed in the hospital were all poor ghosts, and they didn't have any oil and water at all, except for those rich children who stayed outside, especially those who had just received a "reward" like Xia Jiumei, who were fat in their eyes.
So he ordered the triangular eye to "touch the porcelain", pulled people to jump into the original stone pool together, and forced to buy and sell by virtue of the rules of no regrets in the pool and his own identity.
As for what will happen to those poor little guys after losing all the young master's money, it's not for him to worry about.
Xia Jiu Mei looked at Xiao Qiye's bloodthirsty and cold smile, and her fists gradually clenched.
Because she knew that the slavery system of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very harsh, and it was completely private to kill, buy and buy pets, and it was completely private, and even the government could not ask about it.
So even if those murdered little guys gambled obediently, they would lose the face of their masters, and they were afraid that they would have no way to live when they went back.
"Vicious." She drank coldly in her heart, rolled her eyes, calculated her heart, and deliberately lowered her voice: "Then let you know how powerful I am." ”
Xiao Qiye shuddered suddenly, damn, did you kick it to the hard bones?
"Tell me, how do you want to bet?" Xia Jiumei weighed the money bag, took out a silver ingot of ten taels and put it in the palm of her hand, and deliberately drew a circle around, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
Xiao Qiye suddenly laughed, it turned out to be a bluff.
Gambling on stones has never been a method of betting.
Generally, both sides choose stones at the same time, and the winning side takes all the precious stones, while the losing side not only loses the precious jade they opened, but also pays for the two rough stones.
The rough stones that entered the courtyard were large and small, and they were all bought by catties, and the least was a pound or two of silver, and a stone had to weigh at least a few catties.
You must know that the big girl of the dignified Xia family carving girl only has five taels of silver per month, which shows that the winner of the gambling stone is indeed soaring, but the loser is bankrupt.
"What an idiot!" Xiao Qi Ye sneered, and actually took out ten taels of silver from his arms and put it on the tray brought by the waiter on the side, and shouted: "Triangle, if you win the bet, his ten taels of silver young master will reward you!" ”
Triangle Eyes suddenly shouted excitedly: "Thank you, young master, thank you, young master!" ”
Xia Jiumei sneered, a pair of master and servant who got carried away, see how she will clean you up later.
"You, you're really betting with me...... Gamble? Her face was timid, and she hurriedly retracted, continuing her fearless appearance just now.
"Yo, didn't you talk back to Xiao Qiye just now? When I can't see that you're bluffing? The triangular eye came back excitedly, and as if he was afraid that Xiao Qiye would change his hexagram, he ran to the opposite side of the original stone pool in small steps, held an inconspicuous long rough stone in his arms, and walked back proudly: "I have chosen!" ”
Xia Jiumei raised her eyebrows, taking in the confident looks of Xiao Qiye and the others.
Looking at their posture, which piece of rough stone has real jade in it, they should have inquired from the steward in advance.
When the time comes, there will be more transactions when he enters the hospital, and Xiao Qiye will get a valuable treasure jade, and both parties will be happy.
No wonder the people of Shifang turn a blind eye.
Count you out of luck, though.
She smiled evilly, hugged the rough stone the size of a human head that she had been observing before, and as soon as her palm touched, the power of the magic trick flowed, and she smiled again: "Then I will choose it." ”
"Hahahaha!" Xiao Qiye smiled condescendingly and bent over on the avenue: "You fool, you actually chose a waste stone!" Laughing to death! ”
"Waste rock?" Xia Jiumei blinked.
"This stone was only put into the original stone pool yesterday, and it was put by Young Master Ben himself, hahahaha!" Xiao Qiye couldn't straighten up with a smile: "It's a scrap that rolled down from the rockery in Sanjin Courtyard yesterday!" ”
Rockery scrap?
The corners of Xia Jiumei's mouth twitched, she was really anxious for Xiao Qiye's IQ.
"Isn't that a lie?!" The crowd burst into discussion.
Xiao Qiye's face turned pale suddenly, but as soon as he swept away this group of guys who were watching the excitement, he was angry and shouted: "You poor ghosts, even if you can afford rockery materials!" ”
Although everyone held their breath, they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
"Let's open the stone." She spoke lightly, and it sounded like she had accepted her fate to the little Qi Ye.
But as Master Kaishi's carving knife brush flew by, his expression froze on his face: "How is this possible!" ”
