Chapter 809: The Prefect's Propaganda
The prefect looked at some of the sons and brothers dressed in fancy clothes around him, and he always looked at the top on weekdays, but they didn't know anything about this gambling stone, and he couldn't help but feel a little more proud in his heart.
The prefect was apprehensive in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, but said with a humble face: "Lord Ben is only fortunate to know a little, and he doesn't know much better than you." ”
The boy arched his hand at the prefect and said: "The prefect is really modest, none of us have heard of the origin of this gambling stone, I didn't expect the prefect to know this gambling stone, I don't know if the prefect will tell us about the origin of this gambling stone?" ”
The boy looked at the prefect with bright eyes, and he looked full of curiosity.
"This ......" The prefect looked at the boy brother who wanted to explain himself, and a desire to solve his doubts suddenly rose in his heart. Hope, he subconsciously glanced at Su Wanqing, and felt that his move was not appropriate.
After all, the shopkeeper is here, but let him, the prefect, explain, no matter what aspect it is, it can't help but be a little unreasonable, right?
Su Wanqing didn't mind the words of the son, she said with a smile: "Since this prince has already said this, if the prefect doesn't mind, the little woman hopes that the prefect can solve your doubts, and as the prefect, it must be more convincing, I don't know what you think?" ”
Su Wanqing's smiling starry eyes swept over at the people around her, and those people crashed into Su Wanqing's eyes, and before her brain turned around, she had already subconsciously nodded her head and responded to Su Wanqing's words.
The blue-clothed young man next to him looked at this scene, took a deep look at Su Wanqing, but put away the folding fan in his hand, and took the lead in speaking: "Since this is the case, I will ask the prefect to solve everyone's doubts, presumably the prefect also has a certain understanding of this gambling stone, in this case, why should the prefect be so modest?" ”
As soon as the young man in blue spoke, many people around him also followed suit.
"Yes, since the prefect knows, he must know very well."
"Isn't it, if there is a dignified prefect to solve our doubts, this can be regarded as a blessing for us to cultivate."
"Prefect, just tell us."
The prefect didn't expect that a simple sentence would make these people follow suit, but letting himself solve the doubts of these sons and brothers, no matter from which point of view, greatly satisfied his vanity.
After all, on weekdays, as the prefect, although he occasionally has some contacts with these sons, they are very rare. Many of these sons and brothers are from noble families and have a strong family property behind them, although they are a prefect, they actually don't put themselves in their eyes, even if they sometimes deal with them, they are also like they are above the top. This actually made the prefect feel very uncomfortable.
Today, they put down their worth and asked themselves for advice, and if they really want to talk about it, they have to thank Mrs. Pei. If she hadn't said so, I'm afraid this situation wouldn't have happened.
The prefect secretly glanced at Su Wanqing, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, his fingers clenched into fists, and coughed on the side of his mouth, and then he pretended to speak: "This...... Although it is a little inappropriate for Lord Ben to say the origin of this gambling stone, since Mrs. Pei has said so, then Lord Ben is not as good as obeying his fate. ”
The smile on Su Wanqing's face remained unchanged, still gentle and polite.
"The prefect is willing to do this, and the little woman can't ask for it."
The prefect no longer pretended to be modest, and said: "Actually, Lord Ben also knew about this gambling stone a while ago. Gambling on stones, as the name suggests, is to gamble on this stone, fighting for eyesight, but also luck. Do you know what's in this stone? ”
The prefect's small eyes swept at the people around him and asked questions.
Those sons looked at each other, and then the sons who had spoken to the prefect at the beginning stood up and said, "Could it be that these ordinary-looking stones actually hide unusual things in them?" But what can be hidden in the stone? Inside the stone, isn't it still a stone? ”
Brother Gongzi's words caused bursts of laughter around him.
The prefect glanced at the boy, nodded slightly, and then shook his head again.
"You're half right, it's true that there is something unusual hidden in this stone, but what is hidden in the stone is not a stone. Otherwise, how can it be said that it is not ordinary? As for what's inside, the Lord can tell you that there is jade hidden in this stone! ”
"What?"
"Jade? Did I hear me right? ”
"How can there be jade hidden in this ordinary stone?"
"Lord Prefect, although you are highly respected, you will not say these words to fool us."
"Yes."
"Think about it, since you are the prefect, naturally there is no reason to lie to us, maybe what he said is true, there may indeed be a lot of articles in this stone."
In the midst of a group of questioning voices, a different voice emerged.
Su Wanqing's eyes looked over, oh Huo, it was the blue-clothed young man who talked to her at the beginning.
"Hmm...... I think Gongzi Xie has a point, there is really no need for the prefect to make such a joke with us. ”
"That's right, I just wanted to say, if it's fake, why is this store open?"
"That makes a lot of sense."
"Don't make any noise, listen to what the prefect has to say."
Everyone was quiet again, and looked at the prefect.
The prefect glanced at the blue-clothed young man and nodded at him. This Xie Gongzi, he had heard of it before, but when he saw it today, he was different from those ordinary sons, I heard that he was quite prestigious, and it seemed that this was the case.
It's just that this Xie Gongzi is quite polite to himself, maybe he is a person worth befriending. The prefect thought to himself.
The prefect coughed and continued to speak: "This Gongzi Xie is right, there is indeed jade in this stone, but how many good jade stones are in it, it depends on your eyesight, to put it bluntly, this is a gambling stone." You can choose your favorite stone, cut the stone in the store, if you win the bet, then congratulations, you can harvest a lot of valuable jade, even worth 10 million taels, it is possible. If you lose, then you can only wish you better luck next time. In fact, gambling stones are so simple, why did this Lord say that it is luck and luck, in fact, the truth is the same. I'm sure you'll want to give it a try, right? ”
"It's worth tens of millions of taels, this jade is so powerful?"
"Sounds really interesting, I can't wait to try it!"
"So many stones, all of them are bought back and cut, are you still worried that you can't cut the jade?"
Su Wanqing glanced at the prefect, she didn't expect that this prefect still had the potential to do business, and her words were so clever that people couldn't help but be moved when they heard it. It seems that it is correct to let the prefect explain.
"But what are the chances of cutting out jade from this stone?"
"yes, there won't be only one jade out of a few hundred stones, right?"
Among them, there are also voices of discord and suspicion.
Hearing that someone questioned this gambling stone like this, the prefect was also a little unhappy. After all, in his heart, the business of this gambling stone is closely related to him, if the business is good, then this cash cow will definitely bring him a lot of benefits, but if this business is not good, there is no benefit to him.
Therefore, hearing such a discordant voice, the prefect was unhappy in his heart, and he immediately said: "First of all, this gambling stone is about luck and eyesight, as long as your eyesight is sharp enough, or luck is good enough, you will not lose money anywhere." What's more, this business is all about being willing to gamble and lose, if you don't dare to try because you are afraid of failure, won't you miss out on a lot of the fun of life? To tell you the truth, before the opening, Lord Ben was fortunate enough to gamble on a stone with Mrs. Pei, and a piece of high-quality jade was opened in it. ”
After the prefect finished speaking, he stopped talking nonsense, stretched out his little fat hand, took it out in his arms, and soon took out a delicate brocade box.
Su Wanqing saw that it was the brocade box she gave to the prefect that day.
She glanced at the prefect and pouted secretly, this prefect is really, what did she say happened to be brought out, so at a glance, it was clear that she had been with her all the time, and she was reluctant to let go, so she wanted to take it out and appreciate it at any time, right?
But in this way, it saves her a lot of trouble, and the prefect gives her publicity, which is really in place, and she doesn't need to say anything, it's all right.
Last night, Xiu was worried that she would have to face so many guests today, and her body would not be able to bear it. No, as soon as the prefect comes out, she doesn't need to do anything at all, and she doesn't even have to move her mouth much, which saves time and effort.
The prefect didn't know Su Wanqing's inner little Jiujiu, he didn't know that he had been completely called as a coolie, and his heart was still very happy.
The surrounding sons and brothers all gathered around at this time, wanting to see what the jade that the prefect said looked like.
The prefect didn't hang everyone's appetite for too long, he carefully opened the brocade box in his hand, and a piece of small and delicate jade inside was lying quietly in the brocade box, showing himself.
"This jade is indeed a fine jade."
"There are no impurities at all, the jade body is still so round, and the volume is not small, which is really rare."
"I didn't expect that this stone can really make jade!"
For a while, even these sons and brothers were amazed.
