Chapter 358: Gambling
Jiang Rong waved his hand and said, "Let's just take what we need, I hope the prince will be able to fulfill his promise when he wakes up." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info If not—"
A sneer hooked up at the corner of her lips, which made Xiang Wei's heart sink, and she hurriedly responded: "This is natural, girl, please rest assured." ”
Before leaving, Jiang Rong said: "By the way, let me remind you that the assassin of the prince this time is a silver-faced man beside King Cheng." ”
After saying that, she withdrew from the phantom array, and her figure disappeared.
Danyang County, Li Mansion, Linlang Courtyard.
Jiang Rong leaned on the soft couch under the camphor tree, holding a book in his hand, and the four big characters "Sheng's Codex" were written on the book cover, which were written by Sheng Yangxun, the ancestor of the Sheng family.
Since the Fuyuan Marquis Mansion was convicted in June, the emperor ordered that the armory workshop originally in charge of the Jiang family would be taken over by the winner of the refining competition, and at the same time he would be given the position of marquis.
Therefore, this year's refining competition is very different from previous years, and the specifications are exceptionally high, which is a common event in the rivers and lakes.
Such a grand event is naturally not good to be held in the small copper furnace town of "poor countryside", so after some discussion, the court transferred the location of the competition to the more prosperous and open Danyang County.
The day of the competition is scheduled for the first day of October, and there are only a few days left, and everyone from all walks of life has rushed to Danyang County to see the excitement.
Because Jiang Yu also wanted to participate in this competition, Jiang Rong's family came here early.
When Li Yi learned that they were coming, he warmly invited their family to live in the mansion without having to find another place to live.
The two families are close relatives, the relationship is extraordinary, and Su Rili is also very close, Jiang Yu and Li Xin did not refuse, and took Jiang Rong, Jiang Lan and the two boys to live in.
And also living in the Li family are two juniors from the Sheng family, Sheng Zijing and Sheng Ziqi, both of whom are cousins of the same generation as Li Che.
At the beginning, Sheng Jin'er received the exercises given by Jiang Rong, and passed them on to the Sheng family with her consent, so that the Sheng family could be regarded as re-accepting her, the daughter who had left home, and the Sheng and Li families began to move around.
Now that a few years have passed, the relationship between the two families has become relatively harmonious, especially between the younger generations, and there are often contacts in private.
This time, when they heard that the refining competition was about to be held in Danyang County, Sheng Zixing and Sheng Ziqi couldn't wait to come over, and at the same time brought the "Sheng Codex" that Li Che mentioned to take a look.
Li Che naturally didn't think of what he wanted to read "Sheng's Codex", and the person he really wanted to watch was Jiang Rong.
But a codex, and it's not a classical cheats, in the Sheng family, this book is basically a copy of each person, and it is read as a family motto on weekdays, but basically few people will read it seriously.
Jiang Rong wants to see it, and Li Che naturally has to meet the requirements of the godsister.
Previously, she obtained an ancient book called "Qiu Yu Ji" in the Fuyun Pavilion of Luoxia Mountain Villa, which recorded that the body of Emperor Qin was divided into nine places.
The author's name is Sheng Yangxun.
Later, after Jiang Rong investigated, he learned that Sheng Yangxun was indeed the ancestor of the Sheng family. He also wrote another book, The Sheng Codex, which also recorded many of the events of his time.
There are also many good words and aphorisms to warn the descendants of the Sheng family, and words such as the code of conduct.
Therefore, it is no wonder that the Sheng family will regard it as a family motto.
For a while, Jiang Rong was immersed in reading this book, and when she read the book, she couldn't help but have a feeling, why does this look so much like a fairy novel?
Immortal masters, Taoists, soul shifters, three-legged tigers, phoenixes, and demon girls of the country of calamity, are they really not imagined by the author out of thin air?
On the one hand, she felt that what was said here was too absurd, and on the other hand, she had a sense of familiarity, as if she had experienced it before.
This couldn't help but make her feel very strange.
What's even more strange is that she has irrepressibly a very mysterious feeling for that Qin Emperor, and whenever she sees the part that describes him, she will be very interested, and there is a joy in her heart.
I will also feel very angry when I see the words that slander him.
Hey? Denigrate? Why did she find words describing him as "brutal, cruel, and unscrupulous" a slander? Still so angry? There is even a feeling of distress in my heart?
Is she swollen? Could it be that she had a love for someone hundreds of years ago? But I didn't have it before.
Will Xiao Jue blame her for changing her mind?
Huh, Jiang Rong covered his face and was ashamed, he must not let Xiao Jue know about this, otherwise he will definitely strangle her, right?
Originally, she wanted to see if she could find some clues about the Qin Emperor's sarcophagus from the book, but now it seems that she doesn't need to.
With the natural sensor of the dragon boy, it is only a matter of time before the remaining location is found.
And there is basically no mention of the sarcophagus of the Qin Emperor in the book.
When Li Che came in, what he saw was Jiang Rong holding a book with a wrinkled face, and he walked over with heavy steps, but when he walked in front of her, she still didn't come back to her senses.
He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and shake it in front of her, "Ah Rong, why do you look so fascinated?" ”
"Huh?" Jiang Rong Huoran woke up, "Brother, are you here?" ”
Li Che took out the book in her hand and put it aside, pulled her up and walked out, "There is a new batch of goods in the shop, go, brother will take you to have a look." Ah Lan, Zi Xun, and Zi Qi were already waiting at the gate. ”
"Okay, I'm just a little tired and want to go for a walk."
The two of them walked towards the door together.
As for Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi, the two bastards, I won't take them to play, anyway, they have a father who is full of everything, and they pesters Jiang Yu all day long to learn the ability to refine weapons.
The group of five people did not ride a horse or ride a carriage, so they walked out directly, talking and laughing all the way.
Turning a street, the atmosphere of bustle and hustle and bustle came to his face, and Jiang Rong felt that Danyang County was more prosperous than a few years ago. There are also a lot of people on the street.
The Li family's jade shop, Zhenshi Zhai, is located in Qingyin Lane, Dadong Street, and most of this alley is a jade business, and the flow of people is not much.
In front of Zhenshi Zhai is a two-storey grand pavilion, which is full of jade products, and there are various jewelry and ornaments. Behind is a two-entry courtyard, piled up with a lot of jadeite wool.
Jiang Rong and the others only entered the courtyard, and found that there were really many people inside.
At first, they didn't care, maybe someone happened to be calculating.
It turned out to be a calcite, but it was a bit unusual.
I only heard the humanitarian: "Ah! It's up again! This little brother is so good! ”
"It's still a rare Fu Lu Shou, this water is full of head, and the color is also right, it's really the best!"
"This is the fourth time in a row, isn't it? Could it be that this little brother wants to open all the jadeites of Zhenshi Zhai? ”
"This little brother's gambling methods are really high! Originally, I looked at his young age and didn't care, but I didn't expect it to be hidden! ”
"Who's to say it's not?"
"Ice seed blue and white, honey jade, spring color, Fu Lu Shou, it was rare to see one in the past, but now I have seen it all, it's really a feast for the eyes!"
Jiang Rong and the others glanced at each other, and they all felt something strange.
Although it is true that some people have a strong ability to gamble on stones, but it is very good or even the best situation to open four pieces in a row like this, not to mention a hundred years, at least it is rare to see for decades.
What's more, listening to what those people said, he is still a very young "little brother", which is even more amazing, it is impossible that he also has a cheat like Jiang Rong or something, right?
Even Li Che, who has been exposed to it since he was a child and grew up in the jade pile, is far from it.
Gambling stones are already very gambling, even veterans who have accumulated years, gambling kings or something, there will still be times when they are eye-catching, can a young man do this?
Isn't there going to be anything greasy here? Or is that really the young man?
A crisp voice sounded in the crowd, "Shopkeeper Li, there are two more times, if I win in the end, don't rely on the bills, the store is a big bully!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone began to talk about it.
"Huh? What's going on? What's going on here? ”
"You're later, aren't you? Listen to me, dude, I'll tell you about it carefully. Before, Nale Xiaogongzi smashed the barberry ink jade ornaments in the store, and of course Zhenshi Zhai refused to give up, so he asked him to pay for it. ”
"Well, if you break something, you should pay for it, so why did it develop like this?"
"Listen to me! Le Xiaogongzi said that he had no money, and then a small guy in Zhenshizhai said something ugly, and the shopkeeper was also alarmed. Le Xiaogongzi was angry, and said-
"'Isn't it just an ornament?' What's the big deal! Why don't I make a bet with you Zhenshi Zhai, if you win, I'll take this to pay! And he brought out something, and guess what he took out?" ”
"What?"
The man gestured, "A piece of mutton fat jade pendant the size of a child's palm!" The price is much higher than that barberry ornament. However, Shopkeeper Li did not immediately agree, but asked, how to compare? ”
"Little Master Le said, 'A stick of incense, I choose six pieces of wool in your Zhenshi Zhai, if each piece has jadeite, then I win, if one of the six pieces does not have jadeite, then I lose."
"Yikes! This little boy really dares to say that there are six pieces of wool, and each piece has jade! Even the Jade King Master Li didn't dare to boast of such a sea mouth! ”
"Who's to say it isn't? At that time, the people present looked at him like fools, but it turned out that this man really couldn't look at his appearance. How else can we say that people should not be disfigured? ”
"Then what if Little Master Le wins?"
"Little Master Le said, 'If I win, hum! I don't have to compensate for the ornaments, you have to compensate me for the jadeite that came out of the six pieces of wool. How's that, say yes or no? The man said in a tone imitating Little Master Le.
"So that's the case, I'm sure I'll have to say yes. But now it seems that Zhenshizhai may lose more than a lot, this little boy has already gambled on four yuan, and the remaining two are estimated to have to rise. ”
"Yes, I also feel so, not only have people cut up, but all of them are excellent jadeite, rare materials, even if the first two pieces can't reach the front, then it's impossible not to produce jadeite, right?"
"I think this Zhenshi Zhai is lost. Not only did you lose, but you lost big! That's just the ink ornament, the key is these pieces of jade material! If it were carved, how much would it be worth? ”
"That's it!" (To be continued.) )
