Hu Qiyan ate a little watermelon and began to sleep, waiting for the scorching sun to begin to sink in the west, Ximen Wenxue got up and went out, ready to go to dispense some medicine for him, no matter what he wanted to do, it was important to recuperate his body first.

Walking into a Chinese medicine pharmacy called "Huichun Hall", Ximen Wenxue borrowed a pen and paper, wrote down a bunch of drug names, handed them to the shopkeeper, and waited for the time to grab the medicine, when suddenly heard the sound of a car at the door, and then, a girl's laughter, accompanied by the voice of a young man, came in.

The moment Ximen asked Xue to turn around, he not only froze.

"Big brother-" The girl was wearing a light blue silk dress, high heels of the same color on her feet, and a green silk hair was also tied up with a bow of the same color.

And Ximen Lianfeng didn't expect that he would meet Ximen Wenxue here, and he was immediately stunned, needless to say, the young man next to her was naturally Ximen Langyue.

"Mercy Wind, why are you here?" Ximen asked Xue and was directly dumbfounded, why is she here, still with Ximen Langyue?

Lianfeng looked at him a little timidly, but did not speak.

"I brought her!" Ximen Rongyue said lightly, "She is my sister, I can't leave my sister in the poor mountains and rivers to suffer, the girls of our Ximen family are born to be spoiled." ”

After Ximen Langyue finished speaking, he said to Lian Feng: "You go in first, I'll have a few words with your second brother!" ”

"Yes, Brother Lane-Moon!" Lian Feng timidly agreed, and hurriedly walked towards the Rejuvenation Hall, and a middle-aged woman had already taken it out, but the things in Lian Feng's hand smiled and said, "The eldest lady is back!" ”

After waiting for the wind to enter, Ximen Wenxue took out a cigarette, lit it, took a hard puff, spit out the smoke and asked, "You opened this pharmacy?" ”

"Of course!" Ximen Langyue didn't care about his attitude at all, nodded at him and said, "Come in and sit down." Immediately, he instructed the shopkeeper who grabbed the medicine, "The medicine is grasped and sent to the office inside." ”

The snake ghost followed him into the office inside, sat down, and asked straight to the point, "How did you trick the wind out?" ”

"Do you need to cheat?" Ximen Langyue sneered and asked rhetorically, "You and that Hu Dagongzi are gone, will she leave?" Originally, I was scared, but someone brought me, so she naturally followed me. And I also kept my promise to ensure that she had no worries about food and clothing, was not bullied, and was no better than you, and took that Hu Dagongzi out to toss around. ”

"How dare you say that?" The snake ghost Simon asked Xue Wenyan, and his face immediately changed, and he stood up with a swish, and the things on the construction site were obviously instructed by him.

"Yes!" Simon Langyue crossed Erlang's legs and shook very informally, "The things on the construction site are what I instructed, so what's the matter?" ”

"You're going too far!" Ximen Wenxue clenched his fists hard and said angrily.

"I said snake ghost, you have the true legend of the old man, why don't you come and follow me?" Ximen Langyue chuckled, "That Master Hu, why do you care if he lives or dies?" ”

Simon asked Xue and asked, "How much do you pay me in January?" Messing with you? I might as well find a crooked-necked tree and hang myself sooner. ”

At this moment, there was a knock from the shopkeeper at the door: "Sir, your medicine!" ”

Ximen Wenxue walked over, took the medicine, opened it, put the herbs in his hand and carefully checked it, smelled it again, and confirmed that there was no problem, so he wrapped it up.

"Huh-" Ximen Langyue didn't care about it originally, thinking that Hu Qiyan was injured and he had a little medicine for bruises, but at this time, he glanced at it, grabbed a golden hairpin, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, remembering the words of Huang Mao, the site manager, and frowned, "Is he really sick?" ”

Simon asked Xue to wrap up the medicine, got up and walked outside.

Watching the snake ghost walk out, the smile on Ximen Langyue's face was all retracted, and it turned into a gloomy face that had not changed for thousands of years, not smiling.

When Ximen Wenxue returned to the Jade Hotel, he found that Hu Qiyan was not there, and only left a note on the table, saying that he had something to do and would come back later.

He was a little worried, what did he go out for? Fortunately, in less than half an hour, Hu Qiyan returned to the Jade Hotel.

"Where have you been on such a hot day?" Simon asked Xue eagerly.

"I went and exchanged the two pieces of gold for a little cash, and by the way, I got a bank card and bought two clothes." Hu Qiyan said as he handed the bag in his hand to Ximen Wenxue, "I'll leave for Jieyang tomorrow." ”

"How much did you get for those two pieces of gold?" Simon asked Xue asked.

"Fifty thousand, I didn't do it!" Hu Qiyan sat down on the sofa and said, "Wait for the money again, I want to redeem it." ”

"It's okay, after all, it's something that Aunt Yun left you." Ximen Wenxue nodded, if it was absolute, the two pieces of gold would definitely be more than 50,000 yuan.

"I grabbed the medicine, finished a dose of medicine and went to Jieyang!" Simon asked Xue for a pause, and then said.

"I don't take medicine!" Hu Qiyan shook his head.

"If you don't eat, don't think about going to Jieyang!" Ximen Wenxue said with a cold face, "Don't force me to tie you with a rope and pour medicine." ”

"You-" Hu Qiyan leaned back on the sofa and didn't say a word, anyway, he was not his opponent, and he didn't want to be irrigated, so he could only cooperate with the medicine.

was coerced by Ximen Wenxue and took medicine for three days, and Hu Qiyan finally got his wish and arrived at the Jade Street in Jieyang.

To the surprise of Ximen Wenxue, Hu Qiyan, who was originally anxious to come to Jieyang, wandered around the jade street for two days, and saw a lot of jade wool, but did not buy a stone.

It was nearly evening on this day, and many shops were already preparing to close, and Hu Qiyan was still walking slowly on Jade Street.

"Aren't you going to gamble on stones? After three days of watching, isn't there a piece that catches the eye? Ximen Wenxue was finally curious and couldn't help asking.

"Well, these are stones, and even if you make some profit from buying them, they won't be of much use." Hu Qiyan said in a low voice, "We don't have an informant, even if people have good goods, they won't come to us to see the goods, and we can't afford to buy good goods." Speaking of this, he not only smiled bitterly, in fact, it was not that he didn't buy them, he couldn't look at those brick materials, and he didn't have the money to buy them, so he could only wander on the streets of Jieyang.

Gambling stone is a very ancient industry, tracing its origin, probably can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In Myanmar and Yunnan, a strange stone is produced, the outside is wrapped in a thick skin, but the inside is beautiful, and the world's high-grade jadeite is from here.

However, until now, no high-tech technology has been able to see through the skin of this stone and see whether these ordinary stones on the surface are worthless stubborn stones, or whether they contain a beautiful and priceless jadeite.

Because of this, a bizarre industry has developed - gambling stones.

Many experienced stone gamblers can judge whether the jadeite wool can be green and whether there is a good jadeite in it through the skin color of the jadeite wool, the field, the mangband, the pine flower, etc.

However, despite this, there is still a great risk - even experienced gamblers may be blinded by the signs of the skin of jadeite wool, and then if they are not careful, they may lose tens of millions of assets.

Gambling on stones and stones, one knife is poor and one knife is rich, and the gods are difficult to break the jade! This is one of the reasons why Ximen Wenxue didn't want Hu Qiyan to come to the gambling stone market.

After two days of shopping on the streets of Jieyang, Hu Qiyan found that the jade wool that he looked at was hundreds of thousands or even millions, and he didn't have the money to buy them at allβ€”so he could only look at them.

"Huh-" Hu Qiyan suddenly stopped, in front of a shop selling jadeite wool on Jade Street, many people gathered around to watch the excitement, and even pointed at it.

Hu Qiyan and Ximen Wenxue were both curious, and they hurriedly came over, but at a glance, it was an old man who bought a piece of jade wool with good performance, and was about to solve the stone.

A large stone-dissolving machine was pushed out and placed at the door, Hu Qiyan glanced at it, the piece of jadeite wool is not ordinary, the length is about one meter five or six, and the width and thickness are about the same, there are seventy or eighty centimeters, the weight is not light, at least two to three tons, Jieyang's jadeite wool, the cheapest is sold by the kilogram, this piece of jadeite wool is only afraid of a lot of price.

Sure enough, the two of them inquired, the old man's surname was Jia, a jewelry merchant in Hong Kong, and he was optimistic about this piece of jadeite wool, which is said to be the treasure of the shopkeeper's town, and the price was 15 million, and finally the two of them sold at a price of 11 million.

And those onlookers, some of them are jewelry merchants, and some of them are the same as Hu Qiyan, who came to Jieyang to gamble on stones, and the rest are all Jieyang locals.

After all, such a large piece of jadeite wool is not common on weekdays.

And at this time, several seem to know Mr. Jia, all of them went to get started one by one, holding a flashlight, a magnifying glass to check the jadeite wool, although it was bought by someone, but to be able to take the opportunity to see, and wait for the calcite to confirm one by one with their own observations, it is also a rare opportunity.

Mr. Najia was also generously tight, and stepped aside, so that everyone could look at it, anyway, if they looked at it, they couldn't see it badly. Seeing that everyone had seen it, and even some of them were acquainted, they stepped aside and whispered in private.

Hu Qiyan thought about it, and finally felt a little moved, and immediately walked up to the huge jade wool, and asked with a smile: "Old man, can I get started?" ”

Mr. Najia glanced at Hu Qiyan, nodded and said with a smile: "Young man, just please." ”

Hu Qiyan got Mr. Jia's permission, and then stepped forward, Ximen Wenxue handed him the flashlight and magnifying glass, he took it and looked at it carefully in front of the magnifying glass.
