When An Zheng got down from the sedan chair with the cat, the people at the gate of Jushang Courtyard were all stunned for a moment. A poor boy in ragged clothes, holding a snow-white cat in his arms, looks a little strange. When the two welcoming servants at the gate of Jushang Courtyard saw An Zheng, they really didn't know what to do. But it was the sedan chair of the Chen family, and the little servants in Jushang Courtyard had good eyesight, and they also recognized that the sedan chair man was from the Chen family.

Don't stop it, there is still a smell of blood on the jet-black clothes, which is really bad for the reputation of Jushangyuan.

After An Zheng got off the sedan chair, he asked the sedan chair man standing next to him very seriously: "Should I give you a tip?"

The sedan chair man knew that the young master valued this young man very much, and where did he dare to ask for any tips, so he hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't use it, don't use it, this is the duty that the little one should do." ”

"Oh, did you bring any silver?"

An argued: "The silver I brought with me was a large amount of silver ingots, and there was nothing scattered. ”

The sedan chair man was stunned for a moment, and took out a few pieces of loose silver from his arms, about four taels: "The small ones brought some." ”

An Zheng touched and touched a piece of silver from his arms and put it in the hand of the sedan chair man, and then grabbed the suffocated silver of the sedan chair man. I picked out a piece of about one or two from it and put it in the hand of the welcoming guy at the door: "Please take me to see Chen Shaobai, thank you." ”

The little guy who took the silver had a confused expression, hesitated for a moment and walked in with An Zheng. He glanced back at the palanquin man and found that the other party's expression was even more confused than his own.

After An Zheng entered the door, he looked at it, and this Jushang Courtyard really looked very magnanimous. The hall is five meters high, with carved beams and paintings. There were dozens of tables in the hall, and each table was filled with people. There are women in bewitching skirts walking back and forth, pouring tea and water. These women don't look very good-looking, but they are all coveted. The waist is thin enough, and the hips are round and straight enough. The legs exposed under the short skirt are slender and straight.

The little guy was still in a very confused state, looked at the one or two pieces of broken silver in his hand, and hesitated whether he had lost it casually. But he is also well-informed, so he knows what it means to say that people should not be disguised. Although An Zheng looks down-and-out and stingy, who knows if it will be a maverick big man. But even though he thought so, it didn't prevent this little guy from scolding An Zheng dozens of times in his heart.

"These are ordinary guests sitting on the first floor. ”

The little guy who led the way guided An Zheng to the second floor: "The Chen family has a private room on the second floor, and Young Master Chen Shaobai is already inside. ”

An Zheng nodded and asked, "How much do you have in this month?"

The servant replied: "Eighty taels of silver per month is a monthly rule, but there are still some guest tips, barely getting by." ”

An Zheng hurriedly grabbed another handful of silver from his cuffs, and then picked the smallest one in front of the little guy and put it in the little guy's hand: "If you recruit workers in the future, remember to tell me." ”

Little Guy: ""

After An Zheng reached the second floor, he found that almost everyone in each private room was already occupied. The design of the private room is very elegant, the mahogany furniture of Yishui, and the tea set on the table are all gilded. A casual teapot is worth one hundred and eighty taels of silver. When passing through the corridor, all the people in the private room were attracted by An Zheng, and none of them knew how such a young man named Hanako had gone up to the second floor of Jushangyuan.

You must know that those who can enter Jushang Courtyard are not only the big people on Nanshan Street, but also from other places. It is even more amazing to be able to go up to the private room on the second floor. An Zheng is such a down-and-out young man, who came in and went upstairs in a grand manner, and many people were very curious.

When An Zheng saw Chen Shaobai, the other party was drinking tea. A boy who was just over ten years old was drinking tea with a teacup in an old-fashioned manner.

I have to say that Chen Shaobai is very beautiful, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, red lips and white teeth. Such a teenager, in a few years, must be a boy who can fascinate many girls. He was born from a good background and had a superior family background. The talent is good, it is said that he has reached the age of ascending to the third grade, and he is only over ten years old, and he has reached the point where he is the envy of many cultivators.

An Zheng's understanding of cultivation is deeper than that of most cultivators, so he knows that a ten-year-old boy can have the realm of ascending to the three grades, even if he is placed in Daxi, he can be valued by medium-sized sects. With Chen Shaobai's talent, if he walked out of the Illusory World Eternal Residence City and went to a broader world to experience cultivation, his achievements might be higher than he is now.

And An Zheng saw Chen Shaobai for the first time, and knew that this person was too scheming. No matter how good a person's talent is, if he spends all his energy on scheming, his cultivation will slow down, and it will even affect his future cultivation height.

"Sit down. ”

Chen Shaobai pointed to the chair beside him, with an old face: "I've been waiting for you for a while, and I don't like waiting for people very much, so you have to hurry up next time." I don't think it's a good thing to indulge my subordinates too much. Although you are indeed much stronger than Zhang Lei. ”

An Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not the kind of subordinate you need, so it's still too late for you to regret it." ”

Chen Shaobai: "They don't dare to talk to me like this, do you know why?"

What he meant was that no one who talked to me like that ended well.

An Zheng's answer was: "Because they are garbage." ”

Chen Shaobai paused with his hand holding the teacup, and he squinted at An Zheng: "According to the news I got now, it seems that you can't practice either, right?" In general, although you are very good and decisive enough, in a big sense, the garbage you are talking to is actually a kind of person. ”

An Zheng asked: "So what about you? Why do you want a pile of garbage to accompany you? Prove that you are garbage or prove that you are not garbage? Whether it's the former or the latter, I'm not interested in you." ”

Chen Shaobai's fingers moved, and the cup was immediately covered with cracks, but not a drop of water spilled out.

"Sure enough, the ignorant are fearless. ”

Chen Shaobai said: "If it weren't for the fact that this is Jushang Courtyard, I would have broken your limbs and thrown them to feed the dogs now." You have not yet proved your abilities, but you have proved your ignorance and your humble self-esteem. ”

An Zheng pinched a piece of snack from the plate on the table, ate it himself, and then fed the rest to the cat: "You also proved that your measurement is too small." ”

"Bold!"

A young man in black stepped forward and shouted: "If you dare to be rude to the young master again, I will abolish you now!"

An Zheng sat down on the chair and stroked the cat's back with a big grin: "You can try one more sentence, scare my cat, you will be more ugly than death." ”

The young man in black was just about to step forward when he heard a gong outside.

"Thank you for your presence, today is full of friends, and my Jushang Yuan is also full of flowers. Everyone chooses Jushangin because it is fair and safe enough. No one can interfere with any transactions in my Gathering Courtyard. Let's still use the old saying, out of the door of Jushang Courtyard, it doesn't matter if you knock over the Illusory World Eternal Residence City. But in Jushangyuan, you still follow the rules. ”

A white-bearded old man walked up to the high platform and said loudly: "This is an ugly story, so it is said in front." Then I won't be verbose, you are all here for the good things in the Jushang Temple, and our Jushang Yuan has never disappointed anyone. Today's things are very good, so you should have enough money. ”

As soon as he turned around, a very bewitching woman in a short skirt came up behind him, holding a tray in her hand. On the tray was a verdant stone, about the size of a watermelon, with black stripes on it, no different from a watermelon when viewed from a distance. This thing is extremely heavy, and even a strong man has some difficulty holding it. And the young girl held the tray in both hands, and she didn't look struggling at all.

"This cui gourd is an appetizer for you. ”

The white-bearded old man said: "You are all masters of gambling stones, so you know that stones are divided into five types: emerald white, red, gold, and purple. This cui gourd is the lowest one, but there is no absolute, a few days ago, someone from the stone of cuipin, opened a white spirit jade. And this cui gourd is so big, it weighs one hundred and twenty catties, and it is unknown how big a piece of spiritual jade there is. ”

An Zheng, who was sitting on the second floor, squinted, and the corners of his mouth picked: "The emerald wood stone itself is heavy, although there is indeed a spirit jade in it, it will not exceed the size of a walnut kernel." ”

Chen Shaobai glanced at An Zheng with idiot eyes: "Cuimu Stone is not fake, but it is too big, and the things in it will not be small." If you guess it, you stay, and I won't treat you as a subordinate in the future. You grew up in that kind of slum, and it is not easy for you to know that emerald wood and stone are not easy. But do you know the formation of the emerald wood stone? The emerald wood stone, also known as the jade coat, refers to a layer of stone wrapped around the outside of the spirit jade. After the death of some dignitaries, they used this to make golden jade clothes so that the corpse would not rot. But there has never been a stone shell with a thickness of more than two centimeters, so the spirit jade in this will not be small. ”

An Zheng smiled and didn't say a word.

"Fifty thousand taels!"

Someone shouted from below.

The white-bearded old man said: "Someone bids 100,000 yuan, and the price is increased by 5,000 taels each time, are there any guests who bid?"

"Sixty thousand!"

"Eighty thousand!"

"Ninety-five thousand!"

The people in the hall below vied with each other, but not a single person on the second floor made a sound. They can't see this kind of thing.

Chen Shaobai sneered: "Do you want me to buy it and let you see if you are right or wrong?"

An argued: "The size of the fist of the ordinary low-grade spirit stone is considered a specification, and it can almost cost 50,000 taels on the black market. They thought that the contents of this green melon were quite large, so they bid high. If you want me to see, the walnut-sized thing in here is worth 10,000 taels at most. ”

Chen Shaobai: "Then I'll take a look at the price you shout." ”

An Zheng smiled and said nothing.

"One hundred and eighty thousand taels!"

"Two hundred thousand taels!"

Someone came out to this height, and suddenly no one spoke below. They all have serious channels to buy spirit stones, which are much cheaper than those on the black market. The cui gourd is very large, but if the thing that comes out is less than eighty catties, it is a loss. A fist-sized low-grade spirit stone can cost ten catties, and those who come through the serious channel will cost 30,000 taels of silver. 200,000 taels is already the limit.

An Zheng glanced at the bidder, smiled and said that this person's brain kernel is not much bigger than walnut kernels.

No one asked for the price, so the white-bearded old man directly asked the bewitching girl to take the green melon to the bidder to cut the stone on the spot.

The masters who cut the stone are all masters, and the knife is also extraordinary, like a piece of roast duck, one by one. But after a few hundred cuts, he still didn't see the spirit jade in the core, and the person who made the bid was already white.

In the end, the thing cut out was really only the size of a walnut kernel, and there were still flaws, and it was not even a lower grade.

Chen Shaobai couldn't help but look at An Zheng, his eyes were incredible.

An Zheng stood up and walked to the window, shouting to the bidder, "Is it for sale for a thousand taels?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then scolded, turned around and left: "I've given it to you!"

An Zheng said thank you, and then asked someone to bring the flawed spirit jade. He sat down with the cat in his arms and fed the cat Lingyu to eat: "This thing is much more delicious than dim sum." Don't get addicted, I can't afford to feed you yet. ”

Everyone, with a look of astonishment.
