Chapter Eighty-Nine: Madness

"Miss Gui, it's really rude to take the liberty of letting you come to see me, an old man I don't know." The city lord is close to the age of sixties, the spirit is strong, a pair of eagle eyes are blazing, and when he looks at people, he gives people a sense of oppression for no reason. Seeing that Li Mobai was polite and detached, he said: "This is Mr. Li, please sit down and watch the tea!" ”

Gui Mingyue and Li Mobai glanced at each other, but they didn't expect that not long after their group came to Moyu City, the details would be clearly felt.

Gui Mingyue smiled and sat down, not at all oppressed by the momentum of the old city lord.

The city lord saw that these two people did not see their submissive appearance like others, but their appearance remained unchanged, and they looked calm. He changed his tone, and kindly pointed to Sha Gongzi, who was standing respectfully on the side, and said: "I heard that you are Qin'er's friends, and I have been friends with Qin'er's father Sha Shoucheng for many years. Don't dislike my old man's verbosity. ”

Gui Mingyue hurriedly said that he didn't dare, he didn't dare. Then he smiled respectfully and didn't say much.

Seeing that the little girl didn't take the initiative to mention it, the city lord had to speak first: "Miss Gui has gambled on rare jade, why don't you take it out and let me wait for it." "A son in brocade clothes sitting next to the head of the city lord was looking at Gui Mingyue with a smile.

Holding the mutton fat white jade in his hand, the city lord was excited, what a good jade, a veritable Kunshan jade! The young man in the costume also accepted the banter in his eyes, and looked at this almost flawless white jade seriously and eagerly.

This piece of jade, he is determined to get!

"Let's make a price" is a young man in the end, no more calm than the old city lord.

"Our young lady didn't want to sell this jade!" Yin Shen'er didn't know where he got the courage, and he resisted the pressure of the old city lord, and said in a trembling voice.

Although she doesn't understand jade, but when she sees it, this jade is priceless.

"Fifty thousand taels of silver, how?" The young man in the costume ignored the silver pendant and continued.

Gui Mingyue shook her head.

"This is Moyu City, you think you can take this piece of jade?" The prince of the costume threatened.

Li Mobai snorted coldly and touched his waist with his hand.

Gui Mingyue smiled and said: "We Central Plains people have an ancient saying, I don't know if Gongzi has heard it, that is, it is better to break the jade than to be complete, even if I can't take it away, I can also break it" and then said with indifferent frost in his eyes, and then said: "I have a shortcoming, that is, I have always been arrogant, whoever wants to make me feel bad, I will burn the jade, and no one should be happy!" ”

The boy in the costume didn't expect that the seemingly docile little girl who had been smiling since she came up could be so fierce and cold all of a sudden.

What is it young, the old city lord couldn't help but sigh, how could this little girl be so easy to handle in his heart. It's stiff now.

The old city lord had to play a round on both sides, first appeased the prince in Huafu, and then looked at Gui Mingyue and said with a smile: "Miss Gui, don't be angry, my little friend really wants this piece of white jade sincerely, and the price is easy to say." Then he took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I know that Miss Gui is a businessman, a businessman, in the final analysis, it is just to make money, so why hurt the peace." If Miss Ruo smashed this rare treasure jade in a moment's anger, she only wanted to be happy for a while, and lost a large amount of silver, not to mention, but also added an enemy in vain. This person, when you go out, you'd rather have one less friend than one more enemy, do you say yes or no? ”

The wisdom of this statement can be described as both soft and hard, coercion and temptation.

After saying this, Gui Mingyue was relieved and said, "I can sell jade, but this price is not suitable." ”

Hearing this, the young man in Huafu breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's easy to say, then the old man will make a price, 80,000 taels! How is it? ”

Gui Mingyue shook her head and stretched out a finger: "Ten thousand taels, gold." ”

The city lord glanced at the young man in the costume, who spoke leisurely and said, "Deal." "This price is also within the range they have negotiated before.

"I still have one condition" Gui Mingyue did not hand over the jade, but continued.

The city lord said in a deep voice: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Gui Mingyue said in a soothing tone: "I want the few people here to promise me one thing, not to publicize what happened to us today, and to claim that my uncut jade is actually very flawed. "Outsiders have only seen a facet and have not had the opportunity to look at it closely, and if the jade has a big flaw, the price will inevitably not be sold.

"Okay, I promise you!" The young man in the costume said, in fact, he didn't want to publicize this matter.

Gui Mingyue handed over the jade in his hand, and a housekeeper-like person beside the prince in Huafu took out a box, which was full of silver tickets.

"Wait......" The young man in the Chinese costume said suddenly, and with a wave of his hand, the housekeeper went down to find the young man to come up, and the young man said, "After cutting it, be careful!" ”

A funny smile flashed in Gui Mingyue's eyes, it seemed that she was really afraid that as she said in her words, she was afraid that there would be a big flaw.

The young man wiped the sweat on his head, glanced at Gui Mingyue, Gui Mingyue smiled and nodded, he carefully set up the tools, continued to cut the other two knives, and didn't dare to look at it after cutting, respectfully holding it in front of the prince in a gorgeous costume.

"Good jade! Good jade! After cutting, a whole piece of white jade with a luster like condensed grease appeared in front of me, and I picked it up with my hand, and it was really warm to the touch! If you use it to make a jade seal and give it to your father, then wouldn't it be possible for you to become the prince!

The young man in the Chinese costume was satisfied and personally handed the silver ticket box to Gui Mingyue. When he turned around, he suddenly saw the young man standing to the side tremblingly, his face changed, and he glanced at the guards beside him.

These small actions did not hide from Li Mobai behind Gui Mingyue, he approached Gui Mingyue's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "They want to kill the little guy." After a long time, he and Gui Mingyue already had a tacit understanding, and he saw that the young lady wanted to use this young man, so he came to remind him.

"Slow down," Gui Mingyue stopped the guard and said to the young man in the Chinese costume: "I brought this young man, I promise he won't talk nonsense." ”

Childe waved his hand, narrowed his eyes and threatened, "Better so, or ......" with a bloody smile.

The young man trembled with fright, Li Mobai helped him up, and the silver pendant didn't dare to speak, just hugged the box with the silver ticket tightly, and quickly followed Gui Mingyue away.

Seeing Gui Mingyue, they came out for a long time, and the little girl was still holding a box that looked heavy in her hand, and the people who came to gamble on the stone couldn't help but be a little blushing.

Gui Mingyue was in a good mood, and the big horn walked to the side of the disc, commanded the little guy, and said, "Keep cutting!" ”

The owner of the stone farm respectfully presented the remaining rough stones.

The young man was determined to be frightened away by the son, and picked up a piece of rough stone, he was taught the skill of cutting stones by the master since he was sensible, and he developed that as long as he picked up the stone, he would immediately be able to have no distractions, and his spirit was all gathered on the stone. This is a child's work.

Everyone held their breath and looked at the rough stone that cut the first knife in the young man's hand, and they didn't dare to blink their eyes, for fear of missing some wonderful scene, after all, this little girl opened red fei and Kunshan sheep fat white jade in a row, and she should be a gambling stone master.

"Sure enough, the jade has bloomed again!" The crowd exploded again.

Gui Mingyue looked at the jade in his hand, the light green color is very elegant, although it is not very clear but quite moist, and the view is fresh and refined.

"It's hibiscus." The old man who knew the jade introduced. Although it is not as good as those excellent glutinous rice, old pit and ice seeds, it is not bad.

Gui Mingyue looked at the light green jadeite planted by this hibiscus carefully, and said, "No need to cut it, I won't buy this piece." "This color is very dusty and elegant, the eldest sister must like it, looking at the size should be suitable for her to create two bracelets, a pair of earrings, make good use of it, and it is possible to make a magnolia hairpin.

Immediately, let the silver pendant and receive it in the box.

The moment the box was opened, a thick stack of silver tickets was hung in front of everyone, and the sound of gasping continued. Li Mo's white wolf-like eyes were about to appear, and he glanced around fiercely, and the sound of gasping gradually subsided.

"Continue" Gui Mingyue's expression became more and more excited.

The young man took out another piece of rough stone, and cut it against the stone skin as usual, but it was not outstanding, and then he made another knife along the line......

Still no color appears.

I changed the direction again and cut the third one.

Waste rock.

Gui Mingyue smiled and said, "Cut again!" ”

After three knives, waste rock.

"Cut!"

Waste rock.

…… The next few pieces don't show color.

"I thought I met a gambling stone master, but it seems that it was just a blind cat that met a dead mouse."

"I heard that the mutton fat white jade, after cutting it three times, there is a big flaw in it!"

"Ahh After the news came out, the crowd couldn't help whispering, and they didn't look at Guiming with such envy.

Gui Mingyue looked at the pile of cut waste stones on the ground, her eyes began to redden, and she shouted loudly: "Take the silver ticket!" ”

The silver pendant hurriedly handed over a silver ticket of 1,000 taels.

Gui Mingyue slowly and carefully selected a bunch of rough stones, put them in front of the young man, and only said one word: "Cut!" ”

The young man stepped forward and cut it piece by piece......

It's all rubble!

"Take the silver ticket!"

"Miss......"

"Hurry up!"

Again, it's all waste rock!

The crowd around began to disperse boringly, and the little girl kept throwing silver to buy rough stones, and saw the appearance of waste stones all over the ground...... They've seen too much. I felt bored and bought the rough stone by myself.

Gui Mingyue was full of sweat, her eyes were crazy, she snatched the box in the hand of the silver pendant, and took out all the silver tickets.

"Miss, let's go, don't buy it...... Okay? Yin Shen'er looked at the young lady's appearance, and was very distressed.

Seeing that the young lady was unmoved, Yinshen'er was about to cry in a hurry. Li Mobai on the side didn't say a word, and followed closely behind Gui Mingyue with a serious expression, without an exit block, just protecting her.

Gui Mingyue couldn't listen to the persuasion at all, like those red-eyed gamblers, she kept buying different stones, and finally felt that the disc was not enough, so she went to the stall to buy it. One of them, an old man with a languid look, sat on a rock, and in front of him was a mess of stones, black and inconspicuous.

Gui Mingyue walked up to his stall and asked, "How much silver is your stone?" ”

"A bunch, a thousand taels," the old man said lazily without raising his head.

"Do you still have such a stone?" Gui Mingyue asked.

The old man raised his head, looked at Gui Mingyue, and said, "If you want, I still have three such piles at home, and I'll find someone to get them for you." ”

"Okay, you get it first, I'll take a look." Gui Mingyue sat next to her in a daze, and Yinshen'er didn't dare to step forward, only looked at the young lady who was crazy about buying stones with worried eyes.

Seeing that there was not much silver ticket left in her hand.
