【460】Phoenix Gambling Stone (2nd Watch)
The distance between Liancheng and Ruyizhuang is closer than that of the capital, and the road has long been repaired, so it took only two days to arrive in a special carriage.
Counting it carefully, it has been more than two years since they last came to Liancheng, and the changes that have occurred in Liancheng are not very big, and the check-in has long been rectified, and then there is the Lingxiu Villa that Fengxian personally came to inspect, and the atmosphere in the villa has not changed in any way.
There was an example of Wang Cai who was severely punished before, and the steward who was promoted later did his work conscientiously, and the income and expenditure accounts in the villa were all done clearly, without any ambiguity.
Because it is just in time for the summer heat, Lingxiu Villa, as a summer resort with excellent scenery, except for the main courtyard, almost all the other courtyards are full of guests who come to Liancheng to play, including Li Yu and Li Gongzi, whose father was a minister in Xuzhou City, who also lived in the villa when they came.
At this time, I came here on purpose, of course, to escape the summer, and secondly, the gambling stone event of Duobao Pavilion is about to start again, and I have to participate in it.
Although they had a little deal at the beginning, Qin Shuang and Ah Chen didn't plan to talk to each other again, and the news of the arrival of the owner of Lingxiu Villa didn't spread in the villa, and the people in each courtyard didn't know each other, and they didn't deliberately move around, at most, they had a chance encounter in the big garden with a good scenery behind.
Before they came, they deliberately determined the time of this Duobao Pavilion auction with Forsythia, rested for a day in Lingxiu Villa, and went to participate in the fun the next day.
Fengxian didn't catch the auction when he came back to Lingxiu Villa, and the identity of the boss behind Duobao Pavilion was still being concealed at that time, so naturally he didn't have the opportunity to participate, and this time he just happened to see and understand.
After more than two years, the scale of Duobao Pavilion has not expanded, but the reputation is greater, in the past two years, Forsythia is mainly to add more precious rare treasures to Duobao Pavilion, trying to get a fleet, two years down, the size of the fleet is already the top three large fleets in Liancheng, to be precise, it ranks second, the first is Zhuang Qingyun and their family.
As a local shipbuilder, there is also a special shipyard, which is easier to develop than Forsythia.
However, Forsythia and the dealer also have dealings, and most of the dozens of merchant ships in the fleet are from the dealer, so although they are peers, there has been no conflict, but they have cooperated to occupy half of Liancheng.
The dealer was also the only one who knew that there was Ruyi Zhuang behind Forsythia, which was only learned by Qin Shuang and them after they left Liancheng for a long time.
It is also only known to the dealer that the second largest fleet in Liancheng is nominally owned by Duobao Pavilion, but in fact, the real owner is the master of Ruyi Village, that is, Qin Shuang and Ah Chen, and the name of the fleet is also called Chenshuang Caravan.
In the fleet, some of the merchant ships went to sea mainly to salvage all kinds of seafood and send them to Ruyizhuang, as well as the branches of various Ruyi Buildings, and the other part was to help Duobaoge go to various island countries or other land countries farther away to collect rare treasures that Xuantian Kingdom did not have to sell.
With a large fleet, Duobaoge's business is also booming.
When they went to Duobao Pavilion, because the reunion was a bit too eye-catching, Qin Shuang and the others didn't walk around the hall, they went out early in the morning and went straight to the exclusive floor of Forsythia on the Duobao Pavilion.
Forsythia's study, as always, has stored a lot of gambling stone wool that is very good at a glance, Tuan Tuan Reunion is probably really interested in this aspect, two years ago when the table xiàn out of some talent, today I see these things again, and it seems to be very fond of it.
It just so happened that Qin Shuang left Baizhu to accompany the two children upstairs to fiddle with the wool, and then asked the steward under Forsythia to find a stone solver to sit with, and the wool in the room was free for them to play with!
Only Qin Shuang and Ah Chen went downstairs, and there was also Hehuan who was pulled down by Fengxian to sit with him, Forsythia wanted to follow along, but Forsythia has not only played mysteriously in the past two years, so his identity has long been exposed, as long as he appears, most people can recognize him as the boss of Duobao Pavilion, and it is difficult for Qin Shuang and them to continue to keep a low profile.
Qin Shuang has a system to cheat, even Ah Chen can directly share the various functions of the system, they are not short of money, and there are many jade in the mall that are better than the material contained in various wool materials, they really don't need to grab it with other gamblers who want to get rich with a knife.
However, when Ah Chen came last time, he didn't have a chance to experience the feeling of cheating with the system, this time, more or less I still have to experience it, whether to buy it or not, Qin Shuang shared the scanning function, and it was necessary for Ah Chen to 'see' the wool at different prices on the first and second floors.
Feng Xian can be said to be the most interested of the four, but he does not have enough knowledge when it comes to gambling stones.
Qin Shuang has a system, so if he doesn't understand this knowledge, he can still find as high the jade as he wants, but Fengxian doesn't have a system, and he can't learn relevant knowledge from Qin Shuang, so he can only listen to the people around him muttering, and then there is Forsythia, who was also half an expert when he was upstairs before, and the real expert steward suddenly told him a few key points.
With the knowledge of such a little and a half bucket of water, he took Hehuan around the first floor for a long time, and he didn't care about the question of losing money or not, but he bought dozens of large and small wool materials in an hour, all of which cost more than two thousand taels of silver.
Even if he has a part of the 'shares' of Ruyi Medicine Hall, his income is much higher than that of others, and spending a few thousand taels of silver at once is enough to spend a lot of money, didn't he see that when he came back to join Qin Shuang, Hehuan's face was dark.
"Master, please help me see if the wool bought by this idiot is a loss or a profit." Hehuan made a rare request to Qin Shuang.
Qin Shuang looked at the phoenix who had obviously been cleaned up by Hehuan, and whispered to Hehuan with a flattering face, and shook his head speechlessly.
Together with Ah Chen, who maintained the state of sharing the scanning function, he went to the temporary storage place where dozens of wool bought by Feng Xian were stored, carefully
The temporary storage place, carefully helped to look around.
It was only about a stick of incense, and Ah Chen took the lead and said with a smile: "You can get these for the first time when you gamble on stones, and Fengxian's luck is really good." ”
"Not bad?" Feng Xian's expression moved, and a pair of peach blossom eyes lit up surprisingly, "How good?" Earned? Can it be doubled? ”
Qin Shuang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Your requirements are really not high, only double your requirements?" ”
At this time, even Hehuan looked sideways, and there was a bit of expectation in his eyes.
Now he and Fengxian are in charge of most of the money, and today's Fengxian is still spending a part of the dividends from the medicine hall just before departure, and he spent it before he had time to give it, otherwise most of the money is in his hands, and he can let Fengxian spend so much!
If he loses a lot today, he is ready to go back and discount the bones of the phoenix! Let him be cheap! Let him pretend to be big!
"I don't know exactly what the price of jade is at the moment, but ......" Ah Chen nodded his chin and smiled: "Conservative estimates should be worth about six thousand taels, you just said, how much does it cost to add up to these wool?" ”
Hehuan said precisely: "Two thousand three hundred and sixty taels." ”
"Heh, six thousand taels of silver, you can earn more than twice as much." Ah Chen glanced at the phoenix fairy who secretly patted his chest with a happy face.
Hehuan's ugly face was finally alleviated, and Feng Xian didn't like to ignore it when she coaxed her to explain, but still warned solemnly: "Don't take it as an example, otherwise, you will bear the consequences." ”
What is the most regrettable thing for the phoenix, what are the consequences of scratching the heart and lungs, it is self-evident.
It's easy to be together and be forced to sleep in a separate room or something, absolutely unbearable.
Qin Shuang picked out four pieces from a pile of large and small wool materials and reminded: "Before the auction starts, take these good textures and let the forsythia be arranged in the auction, and you can make a little more, more than seven thousand taels can still be counted on." ”
Feng Xian didn't waste any time, and hurriedly called the people from Duobao Pavilion to come over and send the wool to their boss to arrange an auction.
Ah Chen walked around and bought two pieces meaningfully, making a small profit of several hundred taels, and the two pieces of wool were solved on the spot, and the texture itself was not good enough to participate in the gambling stone auction, so he gave up.
After walking around the first floor, the time was about the same, and the four of them went directly upstairs to watch the gambling stone auction.
The auction was as popular as ever, all the seats were full, Qin Shuang and Ah Chen also saw a few familiar people in a few good positions in front of them, but they didn't plan to say hello, and they didn't want the other party to find their traces, so they deliberately found a very inconspicuous place to sit.
After the auction started, he didn't participate in the bidding, but he only paid attention to the four pieces of wool when it was his turn to auction the phoenix.
One of the four pieces is a high ice species, and the other is a glass species, which is not too big, but it also has a good price, and the other two pieces do not earn as much as the first two, but all of them add up to an additional 1,500 taels than the six thousand taels expected by Ah Chen.
Throwing away the cost of more than two thousand taels, all the wool materials added up to a net profit of more than five thousand taels, and the face of Hehuan was completely soothed, and the corners of his lips also evoked a satisfied smile.
After the auction of the gambling stones, there were many treasures auctioned behind, and in this treasure auction, the number of treasures and curiosities was much higher than that of two years ago, and it can be seen that the fleet must have played a vital role in it.
At the moment before the end of the auction, Qin Shuang and the others were afraid of running into the flow of people, so they went upstairs one step in advance, and the smug smile on Fengxian's face on the way upstairs never disappeared.
It was easy to calm the unhappiness in Hehuan's heart, and he rushed to die himself, Qin Shuang and Ah Chen both selectively ignored his stupid behavior.
When he arrived at Forsythia's room, Hehuan didn't let go and said that he wanted to reward Fengxian with anything, and the money he earned was only left for Fengxian more than a hundred taels, and the remaining seven thousand taels were all confiscated.
Fengxian didn't care about this, but he still felt unwilling without a reward, and wanted to fight for it again, but he listened to the forsythia in it for a while to praise Tuan Tuan Reunion, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Tuan Tuan Tuan Yuan's hands each holding three or four jade stones that looked brilliant and beautiful, and directly blocked all the words that brought him to his mouth.
When they walked downstairs, Tuan Tuan was not idle, and chose a very small part of the several boxes of wool that added up to hundreds of wool in Forsythia's private collection, it was really a very small part, and it only added up to twenty wool materials, and finally got eighteen pieces of jade, among which the seven jade stones they held in their hands added up to the best quality.
The estimated low price is - 12,000 taels.
Only seven jade stones are guaranteed to be eight thousand taels, counting the other eleven, there is no problem with more than twenty thousand taels, and according to Forsythia's original estimate, if these twenty wool materials are taken out and sold, the total price will not exceed four thousand taels at most.
After deducting the cost, you can earn at least 16,000.
He Huan looked at Fengxian coldly and said, "Now, do you still want me to be rewarded?" "In other words, the money earned is less than one-fifth of the reunion, what is there to be proud of?
Impatiens: "......"
Can he say that he still feels very proud! The two little masters are already talented in all aspects, can they compare with them!
It's a pity that he didn't dare to say these words to Hehuan, and he could only admit it aggrievedly, and then don't mention any rewards or rewards, so as not to make Hehuan lose his anger easily, but instead jump up the anger and settle accounts after the autumn.
Of the eighteen pieces of jade that were reunited, the two children only selectively took two of them, and let the forsythia be made into bracelets or other gadget ornaments, and the rest were directly made into various ornaments and left in Duobao Pavilion to sell.
When leaving from Duobao Pavilion, it was just past noon, and while it was still early, the group went to the village again
Went on a visit to the bookmaker.
Qin Shuang took out a lot of gifts from the system backpack that were prepared in advance for the Zhuang family, Zhuang Qingyun is now a parent, his wife is also pregnant, the crib and stroller are necessary, and there are easy-to-use baby diapers, diapers, beautiful children's clothes are prepared for both men and women, and there are some precious medicinal materials for the body, Xuantian State, and some from Yunliang, are also prepared.
It's not too much, but all the things that are brought in add up to the total, which is quite impressive.
The Zhuang family didn't know their identities when they first contacted them, and at that time, Qin Shuang and Ah Chen themselves didn't know that Ah Chen was the crown prince of the Xuantian Kingdom, but their contact with Shen Jun has never been broken.
This time, the crown prince and princess came in person, or visited them, but the family of Master Zhuang was frightened, although they were not sincerely frightened, but they were also very respectful.
It was Qin Shuang and Ah Chen who repeatedly said that they didn't need to be polite to them, and then hugged Tuan Tuan Reunion out, and greeted Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang sweetly, so that they gradually settled down and talked to them peacefully.
Qin Shuang deliberately gave Mrs. Zhuang a look at her physical condition first, and found that her body was better than she thought, and after asking a few words, she found out that it was because they had not broken the habit of practicing yoga every day since they left, which made the body better and better, and now it is healthier than other people's wives, and her complexion is also very ruddy.
Zhuang Qingyun's wife, Qin Shuang also helped to take a look, and kindly showed them the gender of the child in the belly, this time it was not as lucky as when Wen Bi saw it, and he became a man in one fell swoop, and after euphemistically asking the opinions of the Zhuang family, he made sure that they didn't mind men and women, so he told them that he was pregnant with a daughter.
After that, they really only felt happy, and they did not have any dissatisfaction with Young Lady Zhuang because of this, and Young Lady Zhuang, who originally showed a little apprehension, also settled down, and was also happy that she was about to have a caring little padded jacket.
After a brief reminiscence, Zhuang Qingyun also asked them about the purpose of their trip, either to figure out their itinerary, or out of pure curiosity.
Ah Chen didn't hide much, and said that they planned to go to sea tomorrow.
When they came out of Duobao Pavilion before, they also took a map of the sea from Forsythia, which marked many small islands where the fleet had been, some uninhabited islands, some island countries, or only some tribes, some tribes were still cannibal tribes, in short, there were all kinds of strange things.
Listening to Forsythia, the dealer's fleet has been to more places, and there will be more detailed maps of the sea, and they came here on purpose, in addition to reminiscing about the past, they also want to ask for a map.
