The old man told his son to go home and pull the stones.

A dirty and smelly man jumped to Gui Mingyue's side out of nowhere, his eyes shining and staring at the silver ticket in her hand.

Li Mobai stepped forward to block in front of Gui Mingyue, holding his arms and looking at this person condescendingly.

The man suddenly knelt down and stumbled and pleaded with Gui Mingyue: "Please...... Please, lend me some silver! After that, he looked greedily at the silver tickets, his eyes rolled wildly, as if he was considering the possibility of hard robbery.

But the handsome young man beside this girl exuded a bad aura that shocked him, and he didn't dare to do what he thought. Seeing Gui Mingyue in a daze, he refused to pay attention to him. He pulled out a dirty walnut-sized thing from his waist.

Said: "I'll sell it to you!" ”

Gui Mingyue glanced lazily at this thing, who couldn't tell what it was at all, and didn't speak.

The man wiped the dirt on it with his sleeve again, and Gui Mingyue vaguely saw that there seemed to be a luster of water lines in it, the color seemed to be blue but not blue, and it was like green but not green, which was a bit interesting.

"Take it and take a look," Gui Mingyue said.

The man hurriedly handed it over, Gui Mingyue took it in his hand, and asked, "How much silver?" ”

"One...... One thousand taels! The man was overjoyed.

"Cut! One hundred taels! Gui Mingyue said.

A hundred taels? The man's face cried and mourned, and he replied unwillingly: "Five hundred, no, four hundred taels!" ”

"Two hundred taels, don't give you an extra penny?" Gui Mingyue made a gesture to return this thing to him.

"Okay, two hundred taels is two hundred taels." The man took two hundred taels and ran to the gambling stone plate with a puff of smoke.

Gui Mingyue threw the thing to the silver pendant, and the silver pendant silently put it into the box and put it together with the piece of jade. Looking at the young lady's bargaining appearance, she doesn't look like a crazy demon.

"Here, this one, my son is here," said the old man who bought the rough stone this time politely, "Look at these." ”

Gui Mingyue nodded, picked out two large piles of them, handed over two thousand taels of silver tickets, and asked casually: "Uncle, did you pick these stones from one place?" ”

"Yes, yes, the girl has good eyesight, this place where I quarry, they don't know, I have also mined the best old pit jadeite in it before!" But I only picked it once, and then I didn't get it once.

"Okay, by the way, uncle, do you want to sell the stone you sit on here?" Gui Mingyue asked while beckoning the special workers in the city to come and pull the stones.

"Sell, sell, sell!" This stupid stone was thrown into the waste stone pile a few years ago, and the old man saw that it was still smooth and the size was enough, so he just sat on it and picked it up.

The old man gritted his teeth and said, "Fifty taels!" If you really want it, you can give forty taels! ”

Gui Mingyue motioned to the silver pendant to give money, and the little maid reluctantly handed him five taels of silver ingots according to the master's intentions.

The old man happily took it, this little girl is really a loser, and the broken stone for the butt was bought for fifty taels of silver.

Leaving the old man's stall, Gui Mingyue patronized three or four more houses one after another, each spending nearly a thousand taels of silver.

Silver pendant today really saw what it means to spend money like running water, it turns out that Miss not only loves to make money, but also loves to spend silver!

"There's a new rough stone on the other side of the disc!"

"yes, then go check it out!"

Someone in the crowd shouted again.

Gui Mingyue also returned to the disc with the crowd, staring at those stones, looking carefully, and was about to buy them.

"Forget it, miss, all our belongings are only more than three thousand taels left!" This time, it was Li Mobai who stepped forward to stop it.

"Oh, that young lady is here again, and she has bought so many rough stones behind her!" Among the people who watched the excitement before, they recognized it as Gui Mingyue.

"I heard it cost 10,000 taels of silver!"

"Is this to dissipate the wealth? Son of a loser! ”

Gui Mingyue ignored them, and presented the selected number, this time no one bid with her, three thousand taels and bought a bunch of rough stones, connected with the one bought before, if you want to pull it away, you will have to have a whole big carriage in total, and it is a carriage drawn by three strong horses!

"Miss, are you still open these stones?" Someone asked jokingly.

"Open!" Gui Mingyue lowered her eyes, pointed to a piece casually, and instructed the young man.

After the young man took it, he made three steady cuts.

"Shhhh It's waste rock again! Someone laughed.

"Open again," Gui Mingyue said, pointing to another piece.

"Hey, waste stone, this little girl's luck seems to have run out today." Someone else began to sympathize with Gui Mingyue.

"Miss, are you still open?" The young man asked dejectedly.

"Open!" Gui Mingyue said angrily, and then carefully selected the large pile of stones he bought, and finally picked out one and handed it to the young man.

"Girl, don't open it again, it will only add to your troubles." Someone began to persuade, I'm afraid that the ten thousand taels of silver bought are all waste stones, hey!

Sure enough, after cutting it, there was no color.

The crowd shook their heads, no longer watching the excitement, this little girl is really miserable.

Gui Mingyue also sighed and said, "Load all the remaining stones into the carriage for me, and buy them for ten thousand taels, even if they are all waste stones, I will bring them all back!" ”

For a time, the news that a little girl had scattered all her wealth and spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy a whole cart of waste stones and went home was like wings, flying all over Khotan, and then spread throughout the entire Tubo country......

Gui Mingyue said goodbye to Sha Gongzi, and the group pulled these cumbersome stones all the way out of Khotan, and then out of Tubo, although some people ridiculed or sympathized on the way, but finally went safely and unimpeded.

When he arrived in Dadongguo, Yu Hongbo, as before, found a quiet and clean courtyard and rented it.

On the night of moving in, Gui Mingyue and Yu Hongbo were discussing the route back, Li Mobai was tired and paralyzed, broke in, and ripped off his robe......

Seeing this, Yin Shen'er smiled and hurriedly closed the door.

I saw Li Mobai, who had taken off his outer robe, with oilcloth bags tied to his shoulders and waist, Li Mobai untied them one by one, and poured the silver tickets inside on the table.

Exactly 90,000 taels!

Yes, it was the 10,000 taels of gold that the Kunshan sheep fat white jade was sold for at the beginning, which was converted into a silver ticket for 100,000 taels, and the carriage bought by Gui Mingyue in the casino who pretended to be crazy spent more than 10,000 taels.

And when the other 90,000 taels of silver tickets came out of the courtyard of the city lord, Li Mobai hid them on his body by changing clothes, and the 90,000 taels of silver tickets, each of which was a denomination of 1,000 taels, that is, ninety.

Li Mobai has a lot of internal skills, but with so many silver tickets tied to his body, he can't help but be frightened, every time he takes a bath, he has to be guarded by Qiu Li, and the two of them have to sleep in the same room. made the revenge force irritable brows along the way never let go.

The silver pendant put the silver ticket into the box, and the knock on the door turned out to be Jinqi'er.

"Miss, that time the baby said that she would not go to the room to rest, but still stay in the carriage and accompany the pile of stones." Jin Qi'er said helplessly.

Hui Wa'er is the little guy who cut stones in Khotan, after the death of the master a few years ago, he became an orphan, if he stays in Moyu City, there are very few people looking for him to cut stones, life is very difficult, and he can't guarantee that the young master in Chinese clothes will not kill him. With nowhere to go, he volunteered to return to Mingyue.

Originally, except for Li Mobai, who would check the carriage every day, no one next to him was interested in this cart of stones. But since one day Gui Mingyue quietly said something to this baby, he was very nervous looking at these stones along the way. In addition to being with them every day, I slept in the carriage, and counted them from time to time, lest I miss a piece.

"Remove the stone, put it in the room and hide it, let the Hui baby live in that house with Qiu Li, and let the followers take turns to keep vigil." Gui Mingyue commanded.

Li Mo smiled and said Okay, I'll go talk to Qiu Li. He wanted to laugh when he thought of the frowning brow of the indifferent Qiu Li because he had to sleep in the same room with someone else.

After taking a breath, he continued to hurry, this time he took more waterways on the way, with Jiang Yu there, and the Cao Gang brothers who were in charge of escorting the transportation were very dedicated and thoughtful to Gui Mingyue.

When passing by Jiangling Mansion, everyone spent more than a month repairing in Yu Mansion.

At that time, under the careful care of Yu Hongbo's eldest brother Yu Hongze, the Yu Mansion had already seen the beginning of the heyday of the Yu family. Mrs. Yu herself is a hearty person, and now she is even more energetic; And Mrs. Yu handed over the business affairs to the eldest grandson, and he raised flowers and teased birds every day, and was happy to be an idler.

As for Yu Qianqian, the only granddaughter of Yu Mansion, she has the best food and clothing.

Seeing her cousin Gui Mingyue this time, she was even more like a different person, running to the room where Gui Mingyue was located every day, taking a bite of her cousin for a month, sending food and clothing, and being attentive and thoughtful.

If it weren't for the way she had persecuted herself before, Gui Mingyue couldn't believe it, was the person in front of her who was smiling and delicate and gentle her Yu Qianqian. But since everyone expresses kindness in this way, even in the face of his grandmother, he is as kind as he is, and he can always smile and deal with a few words.

Everywhere Gui Mingyue will write a letter to his mother, roughly talking about the customs and customs of this place, one is to report peace and let his mother feel at ease, and the other is strongly instructed by the younger brother to return to Qi, and tell more interesting stories and anecdotes in other places that can increase knowledge.

On the first day of returning to Gangneung Mansion, Gui Mingyue sent a letter to her mother, saying that she would be able to return home at the beginning of spring next year. About a month later, her mother's reply was delivered to Gui Mingyue.

"Miss, what did Madame say in her letter that made Miss so happy?" Jin Qi'er entered the house and brought a pot of ink chrysanthemum to the mahogany table in front of the window, just in time to see Gui Mingyue looking at the letter with a smile.

"Naturally, it's a big joy, this year's government exam, Qi Ge'er won." Gui Mingyue is really happy.

"Our family has a little talent now," Jin Qi'er immediately smiled.

Nanyang County Yu Village returned to the house.

"I heard that the other high schools in the county have set up banquets, I think we should also ......" Yu was also relieved to accept Qi and won the government exam, and she didn't want to fall into the notoriety of her mother's mistreatment of her concubine.

"Hey, but now that those things have happened to the head shop, we are already anxious, how can we still have the energy to manage these banquets." Gui Jingxue said sadly, since several of their female students dropped out of the school in the General's Mansion this year, she has always been in charge of the house, and she is also in charge of the workshop. Yu has always been untidy, and she is overwhelmed by the number of people, so she can only teach her new apprentices the skills of hairpin-making.

It's just that her own craftsmanship is also limited, and now the workshop is still maintained by some of the manual techniques left by the young master Yu Hongbo.
