It didn't take long for the shopkeeper of Baizhen Building to come out, and Zhao Ji's eyes lit up again, and the shopkeeper of Baizhen Building turned out to be a young woman.

"Does this boy take a fancy to the gold and jade in the store?"

The voice was crisp like a yellow bird, Zhao Ji waved his hand to open the folding fan and fan it lightly twice, and said with a smile: "Exactly, I don't know if the shopkeeper can let me play with it." ”

The woman's face turned slightly red after hearing this, and seeing the woman's blushing face, Zhao Ji also realized that what she said was ambiguous, and hurriedly explained: "I'm talking about playing with this strange stone, don't misunderstand, girl." ”

It's okay not to explain, but this explanation is more like a kind of cover-up, and the other customers around can't help but laugh after hearing it.

The woman secretly said in her heart, but she still smiled on her face: "Since the prince is interested in this piece of gold and jade, you might as well take a closer look, but please be careful." ”

After listening to the woman's words, some people immediately disobeyed.

"Ding Niangzi, I've been here with you several times, every time I want to take a closer look at this golden and jade hall, you don't let you touch it, why do you allow others to touch it today, don't you look down on me Xu Laosi."

"Boss Xu said with a smile, you also know that although this piece of gold and jade is the treasure of my Baizhen Building, it is actually not owned by my Baizhen Building, if there is a slight mistake and the little woman who damages the strange stone, she can't explain it to the person who consigns the strange stone."

"Then he won't break it?" Xu Laosi still didn't give up, and the woman had to look at Zhao Ji with a wry smile.

Zhao Ji smiled slightly and didn't care, nodded to the little eunuch behind him, the little eunuch immediately understood what Zhao Ji meant, took out five Jiaozi from his arms and patted them in front of Xu Laosi and said: "Look at it, this is five thousand taels, if this strange stone touches it, our son will buy it all." ”

Everyone was amazed when they heard this, the little eunuch took out five Jiaozi with a face value of one thousand taels of silver, ordinary people rarely even see silver on weekdays, let alone Jiaozi, even if the average businessman usually sees most of the Jiaozi is fifty taels or one hundred taels of face value, and the shot is five Jiaozi with a face value of one thousand taels, Xu Laosi is Zai Hun At this time, he also knew that the boy in front of him was not easy to mess with, he was just the owner of a millet shop, and all the family properties added up to less than one thousand taels. How dare you provoke the son who made a move, it is five thousand taels, seeing Zhao Ji looking at him, Zhao Laosi shrank his head and stopped talking.

Ding Niangzi was also surprised by Zhao Ji's magnanimity, her eyes sparkled, and she looked at the customers watching around and smiled: "If you can also leave five thousand taels as a guarantee like this son, everyone can play with the treasures in the store as you like." ”

Hearing this, everyone was silent.

Zhao Ji smiled slightly when he saw this, and picked up the gold and jade in the brocade box in everyone's envious and jealous eyes and played with it, and the casual appearance made everyone feel nervous for him, in case he really touched or knocked five thousand taels of silver, it would be gone.

Zhao Ji only played for a moment before sighing: "Sure enough, it is more delicate than the jade rabbit holding the moon in Wanbaolou, and I want this piece of gold and jade." ”

That's it?

Not only the onlookers were stunned, but even Ding Niangzi didn't expect that Zhao Ji just casually played with it twice and decided to buy the gold and jade hall, which was five thousand taels of silver!

"What? Isn't this strange stone not for sale? Zhao Ji asked when he saw that Ding Niangzi did not react.

Ding Niangzi reacted and nodded hurriedly: "Sell, sell, but I didn't expect that someone would really spend 5,000 taels to buy this strange stone, and I was shocked when the person who consigned this strange stone was priced at 5,000 taels, just thinking that this strange stone was exquisite and could be placed in the store to solicit business, so I agreed to help him consign, and I didn't expect to sell it, is Childe sure you want to buy this strange stone?" ”

Zhao Ji laughed when he heard Ding Niangzi's words: "It's the first time I've seen the shopkeeper say that the things in my store are expensive." ”

Ding Niangzi explained: "This price is set by the person who consigns the strange stone, not the price set by our Baizhen Building. ”

Zhao Ji said with a smile: "Such exquisite stone carving skills, don't say five thousand taels, even ten thousand taels are also worth it, I heard that the best stone carving skills are the original boss of Wanbaolou, what is Fang Shicheng, I didn't expect someone to carve stone skills than him, I don't know who is consigning this piece of gold and jade?" ”

"This ......"

Seeing that Ding Niangzi's face was different, Zhao Ji asked, "Could it be that this person who consigns strange stones is unwilling to reveal his identity?" ”

"That's not it, the person who consigned this piece of gold and jade is Fang Shicheng's housekeeper Gui Steward."

"Oh?" Zhao Ji was a little surprised, but he felt that this was reasonable, "It must be that Fang Shicheng's stone carving skills have improved again." ”

The more I look at the gold and jade in my hand, the more Zhao Ji likes it, this feeling of not being able to put down a certain treasure for a long time, and I naturally regret Fang Shicheng who carved this strange stone, and said secretly: This Fang Shicheng used to give the palace a treasure is not bad, is it too heavy to confiscate the shops and expel them from Hangzhou City.

Others didn't know what Zhao Ji was thinking, Ding Niangzi asked the guy to help Zhao Ji wrap up the gold and jade, and she drew one out of ten for the treasures consigned in her store, and she could draw five hundred taels if she sold five thousand taels, and she was naturally in a good mood.

"By the way, Steward Gui just sent a few new strange stones today, do you want to take a look?"

"Got a new strange stone?" After seeing the golden jade full of halls, Zhao Ji was very much looking forward to the novelty stone that Ding Niangzi said.

The news that Zhao Ji bought a strange stone for 5,000 taels in Baizhen Lou soon reached Zhu Mian's ears, and after hearing the news, Zhu Mian immediately asked people to inquire about the exact news, and when he learned that the strange stone called Jin Yu Mantang that Zhao Ji bought was from Fang Shicheng's hand, his face suddenly became cloudy.

At this time, Fang Shicheng was sitting under the food tree in the courtyard carving stones, and there was a small wine jug on the low table next to him, taking a sip of peach blossom wine from time to time.

Originally, he sat outside the door to carve stones, but after seeing the gourmet tree bear peach blossom wine fruits, he moved the tools and materials for carving the stones to the yard, and worked under the gourmet tree, for fear that no one would know about the new fruits.

Since signing the cooperation document with the old man Zhang, the financial pressure on the family has disappeared all of a sudden, carving stones is just his hobby, the mood is different, plus the two-dimensional carving knife given to him by Fangyuan, the original very exquisite stone carving skills are now more and more sophisticated.

Today, he asked Uncle Gui to bring a few newly carved lake stones to Baizhen Building for consignment, and the price was not lower than the previous piece of gold and jade, he felt that his craftsmanship was worth this price, and he didn't care much about whether anyone bought it.

He didn't know that the piece of gold and jade Mantang, priced at 5,000 taels of silver, had been bought, and he didn't know that the person who bought the strange stone was today.
