Chapter 156: Keeping Friends with Wolves
The man walked into the store, and the shopkeeper saluted respectfully and said, "Young Master." ”
Gentleman? This person is actually the eldest young master of the Ruan family? She had heard Wanyue say before that when she went to the City Lord's Mansion to issue a consent letter that day, on the way back, she met a prince who gave money to a beggar on the street, according to Wanyue, this is a kind-hearted person, but after Chu Lixue saw him, she had a faint feeling of uneasiness in her heart.
The man's eyes looked at Chu Lixue, just such a glance, which made Chu Lixue's body tremble, fortunately, there was Murong Lingxiang by her side, otherwise she might really lose her temper.
"Madame doesn't have to care, it's just a hundred taels of silver, and besides, Guanyin is a god, so it's not easy to bargain." Murong Lingxiang said softly.
The shopkeeper on the side heard Murong Lingxiang say this, and immediately echoed: "Yes, madam, it is a good thing to invite Guanyin home, look at your dress, you are not a person who lacks the one hundred taels of silver." ”
"Shopkeeper Zhu, since this lady likes this white jade Guanyin, then give it to Mrs., this lady looks like a person of noble status, of course she won't care about a hundred taels of silver." The man said with a smile.
Immediately, both hands held the white jade Guanyin in front of Chu Lixue, Chu Lixue looked at the white jade Guanyin in the man's hand, and did not reach out to take it, this man gave her a feeling of unease, maybe this is a woman's intuition. And Chu Lixue didn't expect that her intuition would be so accurate.
Chu Lixue and Murong Lingxiang immediately left the Ruan family's jade shop, Chu Lixue was thoughtful all the way, and she didn't even hear Murong Lingxiang call her a few times, and finally Ning Xiang reminded her that she realized that she was distracted.
"What's wrong? Look at you absent-mindedly. Murong Lingxiang asked softly.
"The eldest young master of the Ruan family just now gave me a very bad feeling." Chu Lixue said lightly.
"Feeling bad? Is something wrong? ”
"I don't know, I can't say it, in short, it's ...... woman's intuition."
Hearing this, Murong Lingxiang almost spurted blood, a woman's intuition, can she change it to another reason, a woman's intuition will make him check this Ruan family's eldest young master? Wouldn't it be a bit too much of a waste of effort.
Although Murong Lingxiang thought so again, since Chu Lixue was suspicious of the eldest son of the Ruan family, it was not a bad thing to check it, sometimes, what seemed harmless on the surface, but in fact, it was secretly murderous.
Murong Lingxiang and Chu Lixue were walking on the street, and with his martial arts, he knew that there were people following them behind him. "Don't look back, someone is following us."
"Well, let's just go as if nothing happened, there is a restaurant in front, we might as well eat there at noon, if we can shake off this tail, it will make the other party more suspicious." Chu Lixue said lightly.
Hearing this, Murong Lingxiang nodded, he agreed with Chu Lixue's statement, they came to this emerald studio for the first time, although they were fully prepared, but they understood the truth that a strong dragon could not suppress the head snake, it was better to walk around, maybe the other party felt bored, and they would not follow.
"Master, will they find out where we live?" Ning Xiang said worriedly.
"It will definitely be found out, so we just need to go back to our residence for a while, we don't have to do anything deliberately, this Emerald Cinema is Shen Rui's world, and the Ruan family's daughter is Shen Rui's wife, it's not difficult for the Ruan family to know something." Chu Lixue said in a deep voice.
After about a cup of tea, the three of them came to a restaurant called Tiankelai, walked into the store, and saw that many people were gathered here, looking at the dress, they should all be people from different places.
Although Emerald Cinema City is a link between the east and the west, the north and the south, it will not allow businessmen from all over the world to gather here, is it possible that something will happen? Chu Lixue thought secretly in her heart.
Just thinking about it, a man dressed as a little second greeted him with a smile, "I'm sorry, a few guest officers, our Kexiang Restaurant has been chartered today, if you are troubled by eating, please take a few more steps to go to another house." ”
"Chartered? Xiao Er, are you blind when Mrs. Ben? So many people are sitting in your store, how can it be chartered, and you can tell by looking at their clothes that they are not from Emerald Studios, what? Are we afraid that we will not be able to pay the money? Chu Lixue said angrily.
Xiao Er scratched his head, "Madam, it's really been chartered, there will be a stone inspection conference here in a while, these are all merchants who have come to buy jade." ”
"What kind of stone inspection conference, isn't it just a gambling stone, move a stone over, let people bid to buy, if there is jade after cutting, it is a bet right, if not, you can only think that you are unlucky, right?" Chu Lixue said arrogantly.
"Yes, yes, it seems that you are an expert, madam." Xiao Er complimented.
"I'm not an expert, it's just a little bit of a skin, I wonder if we can take a look here together?" Chu Lixue continued.
"I'm sorry, I still can't let a few people in, these guests all have invitations, if you also have an invitation from the Ruan family, you can go in, if not, please move." Xiao Er said impatiently.
At a glance, he knew that Chu Lixue and the others did not have an invitation from the Ruan family, if there was no invitation from the Ruan family, it would be a fool's dream to come to participate in the gambling stone conference.
At this moment, the eldest young master of the Ruan family also came to the Tiankelai Restaurant and said to Xiao Er: "These two are my distinguished guests, is my Ruan Sen's face enough?" ”
"The eldest young master, your distinguished guest is naturally also a distinguished guest from Tianke, with your young master Ruan's face, where do you need any invitations, a few of you please have a private room on the second floor." After speaking, Xiao Er made a gesture of please and led the way in front.
In the private room on the second floor, there are several pots of delicate orchids, and even the tea set on the table is Ru kiln porcelain, which shows that this is Ruan Sen's exclusive room.
"In Xia Ruan Sen, look at the demeanor and clothing of the two of them, you know that they are not ordinary people, they like to make friends very much, if the two of you don't dislike it, let's make friends to ensure that you don't have any trouble in Cui Cinema."
This is a naked threat, but also a naked temptation, and it seems that it is imperative to be friends with wolves. Thinking of this, Chu Lixue smiled lightly: "Lord Ruan is really joking, the Ruan family is the largest jade merchant in Cui Cinema City, rich and rival the country, how can we husband and wife dislike it, I'm afraid it's a high climb." ”
When Chu Lixue talked about our husband and wife, Murong Lingxiang's face was slightly red, and then looking at Chu Lixue, it was like Murong Lingxiang was really her husband, if this was for King Chen to see, I don't know if he would be beaten.
"Hehe, where is Gao Pan, I am a person who likes to make friends, I don't know where the two of you are, what are you doing in Emerald Cinema?" Ruan Sen said with a smile.
Look, this is already inquiring about the news and investigating the identities of the two, thinking that he also got the news from Shen Yue, thinking about encircling Chu Lixue.
It's just that he hasn't seen himself, and he just wants to test it, since that's the case, let's see whose acting skills are better.
"Hehe, our husband and wife are both from Huacheng, and in a small jade shop run over there, a guest passed by before and told us that the jade of the Ruan family in Cui Cinema City is the best, so we came to take a look, but I didn't expect to encounter such a big scene as gambling stones."
"Oh, I see, a small jade shop in Hwaseong? Is it on Chengfang Street? ”
"No, on Yongfang Street, next door to my store is a teahouse, where the jade cakes are particularly delicious, and they will all be sold out before noon every day." Chu Lixue said with a smile.
This Ruan Sen is clearly here to find out, but fortunately, Chu Lixue has been to Huacheng and knows that there is a small jade shop on Yongfang Street, and what is even more coincidental is that the owner of the jade shop is surnamed Mu.
Ruan Sen listened to Chu Lixue's words, and bowed slightly, it seems that the other party is not the person they are looking for, maybe he is too suspicious, how can he look at a couple and they don't want to be that kind of small businessman, if they are really businessmen, they will always have the taste of calculation on their bodies, and these two people have a noble aura on them.
Naturally, Ruan Sen felt that what Chu Lixue said was flawed, but he also knew about Huacheng, the small jade shop and the jade cake in the Jade Building, she could say it, it seemed that he was really thinking too much.
At this moment, someone knocked the gong downstairs, it turned out that the gambling stone had begun, and Ruan Sen took Chu Lixue and Murong Lingxiang and others to the gambling stone table.
Now on the table is a rough stone, look at the appearance is still very good, the skin is very thin, with a faint green halo, someone actually paid 100,000 taels to bet that this stone is jade.
The price of 100,000 taels made Ning Xiang feel dumbfounded, but Chu Lixue knew that this gambling stone can make people rich overnight, and it can also make people become beggars overnight, but this piece of jade is clearly a fake jade, to be precise, the color is fake.
If it weren't for insiders, it would be easy to be fooled, but her uncle liked jade very much, and once took her to Myanmar to gamble on stones, and also gave her a lot of essentials for gambling stones, for example, don't be influenced by the people next to you, and buy a fake stone at a high price when she fell into a trap.
There is also the need to be assertive, to follow the price in your heart, and not to easily believe what people say about the news that they bought at a high price.
"Listening to Mrs. Mu's words just now, it seems that she is an expert, what? Interested in gambling on stones? If it's true, the jade belongs to you, and if it loses, all the costs are mine. Ruan Sen said loudly.
He had to test it further, because Chu Lixue didn't feel like a businessman's wife, and he also got the news that Princess Chen was also a master of business.
