Chapter 4 The city is deep
When Lu Yang heard this, he was stunned.
"Hey, what do you think of my thoughts?"
"Your idea is not only good, it's simply great, but gambling stones, there should be gambling funds, how can I gamble if I don't have money?"
"This is easy to do, you ask your senior sister to help you take a picture of this piece of jade, this is your first pot of gold. Because this piece of jade comes from the gambling stone workshop, you can use this piece of jade as a voucher for entering the workshop, and it can also be used to exchange for the original stone in the workshop. ”
Lu Yang scratched his head in embarrassment after hearing this, and then he was ruthless, and said to Shangguan Ling'er with a sincere face: "Senior sister, can I ask you for one thing?"
"What? What do you have in mind?"
"I want to take a picture of this jade, can you please help me?"
"Do you like this piece of jade?"
"I don't like it, you know I'm shy now, I just need this piece of jade to be my first pot of gold, and I can make some money with this piece of jade. If you make money, I will pay you back double. ”
"Double me? Are you sure you can make money with this piece of jade? Can you tell me how you make money?"
"It's complicated, you'll know when the time comes. ”
Shangguan Ling'er looked at Lu Yang strangely, and said, "You don't need to double it, if you really make money at that time, buy me a gift, and the gift is up to me." ”
Lu Yang immediately agreed.
At this time, the price of this piece of jade on the field has been called to a high price of four million by a big man in the field.
Shangguan Ling'er also frowned when she heard the price of four million, and whispered: "The price of four million is not a small amount, my whole belongings are only a little more than four and a half million, if you lose this money, then we will have to drink the northwest wind in the middle of the year, I hope what you say is reliable." ”
After Shangguan Ling'er finished speaking, she saw that as soon as she raised her hand, she blurted out 4.2 million.
The big man who had previously auctioned four million frowned, glanced at Shangguan Ling'er, and then increased it to four million and three million.
Shangguan Ling'er's face did not change after hearing this, and Lai Yangyang said: "Four and a half million." ”
Dahan pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head.
The old man on the high platform saw that no one offered the price again. Subsequently, there was a hammer sound of "dong", and the final word was heard.
After Shangguan Ling'er and Lu Yang got the jade, Shangguan Ling'er's bag was already the same as Lu Yang's. The two were no longer in the mood to stay in the auction room.
After the two left the auction hall and returned to the inn, in Lu Yang's room, Shangguan Ling'er asked with a puzzled expression, "Lu Yang, can you tell me about your money-making plan now?"
Subsequently, Lu Yang roughly told Shangguan Ling'er about gambling on the stone, but he concealed the existence of Qingmiao during the process.
Shangguan Ling'er didn't know anything about gambling stones, so she let Lu Yang swear to introduce her, and after listening to Lu Yang's introduction, she could only silently pray in her heart for the success of the money-making plan.
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Yang woke up from his cultivation, and after a night of cultivation, Lu Yang felt the slightest increase in the qi in his body, and his mood was naturally refreshed.
At this time, Qingmiao's voice sounded: Lu Yang, today we will go to Taixiang Gambling Stone Workshop for a trip, are you ready?
"I don't know anything about this gambling stone, what I said to Shangguan Ling'er yesterday was all according to what you said, and I conveyed it. In today's actual battle, I won't show my stuff, right?"
"Don't worry, what are you afraid of with me, you just have to do what I say when the time comes. ”
Lu Yang was apprehensive, and communicated with Qingmiao in his mind: "Okay, then I'll go and see it today." ”
Shangguan Ling'er and Lu Yang had breakfast, and at this time, Lu Yang said to Shangguan Ling'er: "Senior sister, today I am going to use this piece of jade to make more money, do you want to go with me?"
"Of course you have to go, I gave you your first pot of gold. I'm going to see for myself how you doubled it. ”
After the two discussed, they walked out of the inn and inquired all the way in the direction of Taixiang Gambling Stone Workshop......
Taixiang Gambling Stone Workshop is located in the east of Hengyang City, which is a garden-style building covering an extensive area.
At this time, Lu Yang and Shangguan Ling'er came to the gate of Taixiang Gambling Stone Workshop, and there were four guards in front of the door.
The two looked up and saw that above the antique gate, a rather elaborate black lacquer plaque depicted with two golden characters of "Taixiang".
At this time, the guard in front of the door saw Shangguan Ling'er and Lu Yang, and stepped forward to greet them: "Are you two going to enter the workshop to play?"
Lu Yang pretended to be calm and nodded, and said, "This little brother, can you easily introduce the rules of gambling stones in the workshop to the two of us?"
"The rules are very simple, we have three floors of courtyards, the first courtyard is primary, the second is intermediate, and the third is advanced. There are no requirements for the first floor of the courtyard, as long as you have enough money to enter. The courtyard on the second floor can only be entered by old customers. The third floor can only be entered by the invitation of my big shopkeeper. ”
After hearing this, Lu Yang casually took out the piece of jade he got in yesterday's auction and said, "I don't know how many layers of courtyard can you enter with this piece of jade?"
The man guarding the door was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "This boy will wait for a while, and I will inquire about the big shopkeeper." ”
Lu Yang nodded slightly, pretending to be very angry, and said, "I hope that the little brother will go and come back quickly." ”
The gatekeeper nodded, and ran quickly towards the garden......
A short time later, a fat middle-aged man walked out of the park.
"This little brother, do you want to gamble on stones? I am the big shopkeeper of Taixiang Gambling Stone Workshop, my name is Yuan Long. ”
Lu Yang hugged his fists and said: "My name is Yang Lu, I came here to try my luck, I don't know how many layers of the workshop I can enter with this piece of jade, and how many rough stones can I exchange for in the workshop?"
At this time, Qingmiao was directing all the languages of Lu Yang in Lu Yang's mind, and Qingmiao deliberately asked Lu Yang to hide his real name for Lu Yang's safety.
"This piece of jade is from this workshop, if Yang Gongzi is going to use this piece of jade to exchange for the original stone in the workshop, I can guide you into the second layer of the courtyard. ”
"The second floor? If I take this piece of jade to another house, I guess I can enter more than the second floor, right? I'm going to go to the third floor, if we can, we will enter the workshop now, if we don't agree, we will change to another house." ”
Yuan Long, the big shopkeeper of the gambling stone workshop, thought for a moment and said: "It's okay to enter the third layer, but if you enter the third layer, I can only exchange this piece of jade in your hand for four original stones." ”
"Okay, let's go to the third floor. Lu Yang immediately agreed happily.
Yuan Long and Lu Yang finished negotiating, and then took Lu Yang and the two into the garden.
As soon as they entered the park, the scenery in the park suddenly made Shangguan Ling'er and Lu Yang's eyes light up.
I saw that the verandah in the park twists and turns, the corridor outside the corridor is paved with stones, in the distance, the beautiful trees are verdant, the strange flowers compete for the strange and beautiful, and the fragrance is fragrant. Several streams meandered from the depths of the flowers and trees, converging in a pool of water.
The two followed Yuan Long, and then entered the courtyard on the first floor.
I saw that in the courtyard of the first layer, there were only a dozen people who gambled on stones, and there were countless rough stones, ranging from thousands of gold to a few taels, densely stacked in the courtyard.
At this time, I only heard Qingmiao say in Lu Yang's mind: "Lu Yang, the original stones in this first layer of the courtyard are all ordinary rough stones, most of the rough stones are empty stones, only a few rough stones have slight energy fluctuations, even if there are materials in these rough stones, they are small and pitiful after cutting out." ”
"So, that's why you let me into the third layer, right? Lu Yang communicated with Qingmiao in his mind.
"Yes, although the third layer can only be exchanged for four rough stones, the quality of the rough stones in the third layer will be many times better than this first layer. ”
After the two left the first courtyard of the first floor, the scenery was much better than when they first entered the park, only to see the pavilions and pavilions on both sides carved beams and painted columns, and the water pavilion of the pool pavilion was quiet and beautiful, hidden between the pines and cypresses. The two walked in the garden, as if they were in a fairyland on earth, and they were in a good mood.
The time is not big, under the leadership of Yuan Long, into the second layer of the courtyard, the two entered the second layer of the courtyard and found that there are a lot of people who gamble on stones here, and the courtyard is several times larger than the first layer, and the number of original stones is countless, with different sizes and different shapes.
"Lu Yang, in this second-layer courtyard, there is a piece of energy in the original stone, which is exactly the same as the energy emitted by the jade in our hands. There is even a piece that is much higher than the energy emitted by the jade in our hands. ”
In Lu Yang's mind, Qing Miao introduced the situation about the second layer of rough stones.
Shangguan Ling'er and Lu Yang came to the topmost third-layer courtyard not long after passing through the second-layer courtyard.
The area of the courtyard on the third floor is about the same as that of the courtyard on the second floor, but the number of rough stones is much more than that of the second floor, and the number of people is only three middle-aged people, and the three of them each choose their own rough stones. The atmosphere was peaceful. Judging from their clothing, these three people all belong to the wealthy gentry.
The three of them did not show surprise at the entry of Lu Yang and Shangguan Ling'er, on the contrary, the three of them just glanced at Lu Yang and the others, and then plunged into the search for the original stone.
"This is the third level of the courtyard, and now we can exchange the rough stones. Yuan Long said to Lu Yang with a smile on his face.
Lu Yang immediately generously handed over the jade to Yuan Long, the treasurer of the gambling stone workshop.
"Good. If Yang Gongzi chooses the rough stone and hands it over to me, I can take you to find the stone cutter to help you cut it, if Yang Gongzi chooses the stone to open a big lottery, we can buy it at the market price. You can now pick and choose. ”
Lu Yang nodded, and then, walked back and forth in the courtyard a few times, and about an hour later, Lu Yang's four stones had been selected.
Originally, Lu Yang could quickly select these four rough stones, but in order not to make people suspicious, it took so long.
And the three of them still hesitated and found nothing.
Lu Yang handed over the four stones to Yuan Long one by one, and Yuan Long, the treasurer of the gambling stone workshop, looked at the four stones and said, "Yang Gongzi has decided to choose these four original stones, and if it is confirmed, it cannot be changed." ”
Lu Yang nodded, and at this time, the three middle-aged men who looked like gentlemen stepped forward and looked at the four rough stones.
Yuan Long, the big shopkeeper of the gambling stone fang, took advantage of Lu Yang's lack of attention, and glanced at one of the three gentry.
The gentleman immediately understood and said, "This little brother, only this one of the four rough stones you chose can be used, and the other three rough stones seem to be waste. I persuaded the little brother to abandon these three pieces and choose again. ”
The other two middle-aged gentlemen also echoed the voice.
Lu Yang looked at the middle-aged man who looked like a gentleman and said, "Listen to Mr., Mr. can be described as an expert, but I think the rough stones I have selected are all high-quality stones." ”
Lu Yang and the people who looked like the gentry had their own opinions and argued.
At this time, Yuan Long, the big shopkeeper of the gambling stone workshop, laughed and said: "Young Master Yang, let me introduce you, this is the gambling stone master I specially invited, his name is Feng Yong." Brother Feng, this is Yang Lu, Yang Gongzi. Since both of you think you are skilled, I have a suggestion, I wonder if you can hear it?"
Lu Yang and the middle-aged man named Feng Yong nodded at the same time.
"Okay, I propose that you two make a bet on this piece of rough in good condition. What do you two think?"
Lu Yang nodded without hesitation, and said to everyone: "Okay, since everyone thinks that only one of the four rough stones I selected is a good material, and the other three are all waste." But I don't think so, and I trust my eyesight. Then, according to the big treasurer, take this piece of rough in good condition as a bet. ”
After Lu Yang finished speaking, he looked at the middle-aged man named Feng Yong.
"Okay, since Brother Yang has this Yaxing, then I will accompany you. As long as these three pieces of rough stones that I think are not good, cut out a fist-sized material, even if I lose, if I lose, I will be compensated according to the original price of this piece of rough stone in good condition. ”
Yuan Long saw that the two in front of him had agreed, and then said: "Okay, since the two have reached an agreement, then we will first cut this piece of rough stone in good condition, and then use it as a bet." ”
After Yuan Long, the shopkeeper of the gambling stone workshop, finished speaking, he then invited the stone cutting master, who was an old man with a thin body, but his eyes were bright.
"Old decay is about to begin. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he picked up the knife and began to dissolve the stone.
The sound of "click" was endless, and the stone skin was slowly peeled off.
When the last "click" sound stopped, the last layer of the original stone skin was peeled off, and a soft light was reflected, and a piece of jade that was two circles larger than the jade that Lu Yang had used to exchange the original stone before, was crystal clear and clear in front of everyone's eyes.
The old man and Yuan Long, as well as everyone at the scene, were slightly surprised, and then, Yuan Long picked up this piece of jade and said, "According to the size and fineness of this piece of jade, the market price is about seven million Yunlan coins. So now the gamble has officially begun. ”
"If the other three rough stones of Yang Gongzi are all blind materials, or the materials produced are less than the size of a fist, then this piece of jade belongs to Brother Feng. If one of Yang Gongzi's remaining three rough stones can be cut out of a good material the size of a fist, then Brother Feng will compensate Yang Gongzi according to the price. ”
After Yuan Long, the big shopkeeper of the gambling stone fang, finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yang and said, "Young Master Yang, then let's start?"
Lu Yang said without hesitation: "The gentleman is quick to speak, let's start." ”
"Okay, now that this little brother has made up his mind, what does Brother Feng think?"
Feng Yong looked at this piece of jade and said confidently, "Let's start." ”
At this time, Feng Yong was proud, and his tone of voice was like this piece of jade had already belonged to him......
