On the last day of the test, compared to the previous number of people, it was now cold and empty, and there were only seven people seated. Cheng Xiuyi used his brain excessively and even fainted during the exam and got up again to continue to do the questions, Rao is spirit moved Shangguan Baocai, he wanted to give up as early as the fifth day, but he still desperately chose to stay and persevere. Shangguan Baocai is very smart, he knows that thinking about every question will go beyond the limit of thinking, and no one can do it. So in each exam, he only did the first ten questions, even if he cut corners and completed some of the test questions, Shangguan Baocai still had two lines of nosebleeds, and Mrs. Taibao, who heard the news, was distressed, and stuffed a lot of silver money into the small kitchen to boil chicken and stewed ginseng.

Cheng Xiuyi has always been stained with the light of the small kitchen, and her relationship with Shangguan Baocai is much closer. Under such a violent cycle of using the brain, tonics, using the brain, and supplementing, the final exam finally ended.

Liu Meng collected the examination papers of the seven people, namely Cheng Xiuyi and Cheng Yisheng from Guava Village, Dalicheng, Gu Chen from Nuan Village, Kyoto, Shangguan Baocai, the son of the prince and Taibao, Sun Bai Zhixing, the daughter of Yulin Langjiang, and Yue Yangbo of the Sima family in Zhongzhou.

Among them, the dark horse deserves to be Gu Chen, who has a very low sense of existence, he listened to Cheng Xiuyi's words, and rushed forward with his head bleeding. Until the end of the ten days, he successfully persevered! Gu Chen really wanted to walk up to Cheng Xiuyi and say thank you in person. But when he saw the sparkling girl surrounded by the crowd, he flinched again.

He is not qualified enough now, to become Cheng Xiuyi's friend, and stand in the sun with her to talk and laugh. Gu Chen didn't say anything, just left quietly just like when he first entered the Three Holy Pavilions.

Cheng Xiuyi stretched her long-decadent limbs, these days in the brain test, completely neglected the movement of the body, and the few of them walked with the posture of an old man. Especially Cheng Yisheng, his back is as tall as a pine and cypress, what now? It was difficult to take a big stride, which caused everyone to laugh at it.

Shangguan Baocai threw away his arrogance and cheapness, his temperament is good, he loves to play treasures, and he gets along well with several people. Taking advantage of the end of the exam, he immediately invited the remaining five people to participate in a black market under the Kyoto Tent.

"What's that?" Yue Yangbo from Zhongzhou was curious.

"It's an underground market, it only opens at night, everyone can only hold candles to go in and choose goods, and when you choose something, you will trade with the boss, and the boss will blow out your candle directly if you agree to your price."

"One person can only buy one, and after blowing out the candles, someone will lead you out of the black market."

Sun Yun, who is also a native of Kyoto, explained that the black market is no stranger to them.

"If you're lucky, you'll be able to find something worth your money!" Shangguan Baocai rubbed his hands excitedly, he used to go there to play, but since his father Shangguan Min punched and kicked him to study, he hadn't been there for two years.

Cheng Xiuyi and Cheng Yisheng are very interested, although they don't have much money in their pockets, it is good to rise in the world.

The six of them hit it off, seeing that the hour was not early, and immediately set off on the mysterious underground curtain door black market.

After about half an hour's drive, Cheng Xiuyi found that he was really motion sick, and every time he sat in the carriage, he was dizzy and dozed off. Fortunately, it was resurrected on the spot as soon as the car got off, and the carriage stopped next to a small, dark alley. Shangguan Baocai gave a black veil to several people, covering the lower part of the entire face, and then touched a certain brick raised on the wall, knocking a few times regularly, this posture is a bit like the head of an enemy spy, Cheng Xiuyi couldn't help laughing.

Shangguan Baocai sent it over with a blank eye, waited for a while, and a stone door of the same color flipped out in the middle of the wall, and a burly leader who couldn't see his face clearly stood at the door, nodded to Shangguan Baocai and a few people, and walked downstairs into the deep and winding stairs.

During this period, no one made a sound, and the atmosphere seemed to be a little tense.

After walking an unknown number of steps, the real black market suddenly opened up. It turned out that there was such a large space underground, and hundreds of stalls were neatly arranged, but the environment was dark and it was difficult to see the goods of each stall, only the constantly moving candlelight illuminated. According to the previous agreement, the six people were divided into two teams to enter the market to buy, and Ercheng and Shangguan were naturally divided into a group.

Cheng Xiuyi held a candle and walked into the ranks of the stall with great interest. It is said that there is not only a way to trade money, but also to exchange for what the stall owner wants.

After looking at more than a dozen stalls, Cheng Xiuyi found that there was a candle flame gathered in front of him, thinking that there was something rare that attracted many onlookers, so he hurriedly pulled his companions over. But Cheng Xiuyi guessed wrong, there was only a piece of linen wrapped in dozens of stones on the stall, and the crowd of onlookers seemed to be choosing stones.

"What is this doing?" Cheng Xiuyi asked in a low voice.

Listening to the voice, I knew that it was a little girl who didn't know how to do it, and the stall owner hurriedly said with a smile: "This is gambling stones, regardless of the grade, they are sold by the pound." My stone has already bloomed a lot of imperial green. Miss, do you want to bet on a piece? ”

"I'm good at this, I'll come!" Shangguan Baocai was interested, flipped the money bag, confidently pointed to the largest black stone and said, "Give me the whole big one!" ”

"Slow," Cheng Xiuyi hurriedly stopped the stupid son of the Taibao family, she walked to a few stones and squatted down to observe carefully, leaning on her ears and beating again, and listening to the sound. This move attracted the attention of many stone gamblers, and they all came over to see what kind of goods this girl could choose.

Cheng Xiuyi was tinkering for a long time, his face was happy, and he reached out and reached out to the two largest stones—he took out a gray-black markinged stone that was sandwiched in the middle, the size of a fist, and was inconspicuous.

"Poofhahahahaha! Girl, this is a piece of waste, if you don't know how to choose a stone, don't join in the fun! ”

"Still too young! I think that big piece of green material is good, boss, cut it! ”

There are many discussions around, and there are few such lively scenes in the curtain market, which shows how much Cheng Xiuyi's stone is so unbearable that people can't help but complain. Shangguan Baocai couldn't hold his face, and said with his waist in his arms: "Can you manage it?" I just like this piece, boss, cut it for me! ”

One tael of silver and one catty, Cheng Xiuyi's choice of this piece is only thirty silver coins, and the middle-aged man who bought the big bluestone just now paid a full 1,000 taels of snowflake silver. The boss couldn't straighten his waist, sold thousands of catties of material in one go, and also sold a piece of waste that no one wanted. With a smile, he moved the stones to the stone-cutting area and operated, "Two bosses, half-open or fully open?" ”

"What nonsense, all open!" The middle-aged man wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead and said.

"I'm all open, too!"

There are more onlookers, almost all of them are attracted by the thousand catties of bluestone, even if it is rare to be able to cut thousands of catties of stone in the curtain market, I don't want to miss this eye.

The stall owner and his two subordinates pulled the sharp wire on the stone and quickly grinded, and it didn't take long for a crack to appear in it, and the movement of the three did not stop, and it was another violent saw, and the thousand catties of stones collapsed and split into two.

"There you have, there you have it! See green! The middle-aged man paddled his feet, and his eyes were about to fall off. Finally, in the collapsed half of the stone, I saw a faint turquoise color on the bottom floor.

The stall owner got busy, polished and cut the two halves of the split material one by one, and finally found a complete piece of jade in the corner of the left half, wrapped it in a black cloth and handed it over to the middle-aged man's arms, and said excitedly: "Congratulations! Glutinous green jade, adult half arm length, the whole body is translucent, the water head is good, used to polish jewelry or jade are high-grade, you are back to the basics! ”

The middle-aged man was obviously also very happy, although he barely kept his capital, but it was this kind of thrilling excitement that the gambler loved. Glutinous green jade, the quality is in the middle of the quality, but the quality is quite a lot, half an arm long! The sound of congratulations kept coming from his side, and the middle-aged man responded with a smile, and was not in a hurry to blow out the candle and leave, he also wanted to stay here to see what the young girl would look like when she cut a scrap, especially when he saw that there were so many green jade seeds before her.

The fist-sized stone was so easy to cut that the stall owner casually threw it to the new man and didn't take it to heart.

"Woman, it's okay, even if you don't come out of the jade, you can't spend a few dollars, just want to be happy." Looking at Cheng Xiuyi's serious eyes, even Shangguan Baocai couldn't bear to open his mouth and comfort.

As soon as the words fell, a pig-like scream came from Kaiyu's subordinates, "This, this, this?" Out! ”

Everyone hurriedly looked at the corner of the originally gray and black stone in his hand, but just that corner revealed a deep and gorgeous pure green! Compared with the faint green light refracted by the thousand catties of stone just now, this is simply ......

"Imperial Green!!"

The stall owner was frightened, trembling and snatching it from his subordinates, and carefully cutting and grinding it with his own hands. What's really terrifying is that this fist-sized stone has only removed a thin layer of clothing, and all of it is pure Ice Seed Imperial Green Jade underneath!

"Oh my God! It's the first time I've seen such a big Imperial Green ......."

"What is the origin of that little girl, can you help me see a piece of good material, I will hire one hundred taels!"

"You think you are beautiful! The Ice Seed Emperor Jade is priceless, and such a large piece can be sold for thousands of gold! You've only given out a hundred silver, so you're stingy!"

"I'll pay 1,200 taels of gold to buy this jade!"

The other three companions who rushed over also had the same expression as Shangguan Baocai, their jaws were about to hit the ground, and Cheng Yisheng was probably used to being stimulated to facial paralysis. Shangguan Baocai was stunned by this sudden wealth, what is the concept of one thousand two hundred taels? is 20,400 taels of snowflake silver, his father, a dignified official, only 6,000 taels of silver for half a year! That's equivalent to his father's income for two years!

"Wo (biting the tongue), is the wo like a dream?" Shangguan Baocai showed a strange smile.

Only the middle-aged man who wanted to show off but was stimulated was still calm, and only asked excitedly: "This girl, how did you judge?" ”

Cheng Xiuyi smiled embarrassedly and said, "Where do I know what methods?" It's just that I've read some books before, and it is written in the books that 'the sand law is dry and the hand is like a bell, and the white fog is not human.' The color tone is yang and green, or full of green and stable. "What's more" "ringworm eats green, green goes with black" this saying, this time it can be opened, it's just luck! ”

The middle-aged man just thought she didn't want to say more, and walked away dejectedly.

The six of them blew out the lights, hid the jade block, and left the black market through another secret passage. Bai Zhixing introduced that there are dozens of secret passages under the entire black market, and each time the entrance and exit are not the same, in order to beware of some people who are mad and murder and rob.

Shangguan Baocai tightly put the jade in his arms, and he was a little frightened when he walked, Cheng Xiuyi couldn't help laughing and said: "Your name is really not wrong, you should persuade your father and mother not to force you to study when you go back." ”
