Lu Shenglin had a meal in the house, and prepared a few sets of clean new clothes for him, and Lu Shenglin lay on the couch and slept for a day and a night. When I opened the door the next morning, there was a little girl carrying a food box outside the door.

The chrysanthemums in the yard are really good, clustered and spitting out thin silk, and a green chrysanthemum is overwhelming, which is particularly outstanding. The morning breeze is also just right, blowing refreshing and not too cold.

After breakfast, Lu Shenglin slowly entered the flower hall.

To say that this patriarch's mansion is really casual, things are done in the flower hall, guests are received in the flower hall, and sometimes meals are also in the flower hall.

Lu Shenglin sat down in his seat and looked at Ling'er opposite. The little maids of the Sect Master's Mansion look so pleasing to the eye, not perverse, nor rigid, it seems that the Wei Mansion knows the golden mean very well.

"Boss Lu, got up so early?"

Suddenly, he heard someone calling him, and Lu Shenglin hurriedly stood up. Rong Zhan and Yuan Xi entered the flower hall one after the other, Ling'er beckoned, and the little girls sent tea cups and snacks like water.

Lu Shenglin had just had breakfast, so even if the dim sum looked delicious, he didn't really want to eat it. Just took a few sips of the tea, the tea tasted sweet and bitter, a bit naturally wild. Seeing that Lu Shenglin was curious, Ling Er smiled and said: "A few wild chrysanthemums are added to this tea, Boss Lu is afraid that he can't get used to drinking it, so the slave maid will change a cup for you?"

Lu Shenglin waved his hand: "This is very good, it's just that I haven't drunk it before, and I think it's novel." ”

Everyone sat and drank tea for half an hour, waiting for Qin Shun to come over, but Qin Shun was delayed.

Rong Zhan changed his sitting posture: "Why didn't Qin Shun come?"

Ling'er was stunned, it turned out that the masters had been waiting for him for so long?

Qin Shun...... I'm afraid I won't be able to come now. Ling'er lowered her head: "I heard that yesterday Qin Shun went to the gambling stone field as soon as he came back, and in the evening, someone from the gambling stone field sent a letter, saying that Qin Shun owed three hundred taels of silver, and he had to take the silver to redeem people." No, his brothers are collecting money all over the world. ”

Rong Zhan looked at Yuanxi in surprise.

Yuan Xi felt angry and funny: "How much money does he have in a year?

Lu Shenglin couldn't help laughing: "As the saying goes, gambling on stones is like gambling on life, one knife is poor and one knife is rich, one knife is born and one knife dies." People who don't have a little family background are afraid that they can't afford to play. ”

Rong Zhan shook his head helplessly, and said to Ling'er: "You quickly ask someone to get him back." ”

"Get it back?" Ling Er flattened her mouth: "Second master, where can I find three hundred taels of silver for the slave?"

"The account room is gone, I feel that I want him to come back, there is still something to do here, he is good, go and play with silver!" Yuan Xi closed his eyes and leaned on the table: "You go and come back quickly." ”

Ling Er really went to go back quickly, and turned back after taking a look at Qin Shun as if a dragonfly was in water. With a gloomy face, he muttered and scolded Qin Shun.

Yuan Xi and Rong Zhan were both stunned: "What about people?"

"This Qin Shun, one night's work, three hundred taels has become three thousand taels, people hold on to it, what to say, even if it is the sect master's mansion, you have to be reasonable, you are willing to gamble and lose something, you can't bully people, right?"

Rong Zhan couldn't cry or laugh: "Why didn't he fight it?"

Ling'er pouted and said angrily: "I think he wants to, but it's a pity that there are also masters over there, and there are more than a dozen sticks with thick arms!"

Lu Shenglin arched his hand: "Sect Master, the villain is willing to redeem General Qin." ”

Yuan Xi smiled slightly, although Lu Shenglin showed a rare loyalty, if she accepted it easily, wouldn't she fall in front of Lu Shenglin. So he waved his hand: "The gambling stone field is also a fun place, let's go and see it." ”

As soon as Lu Shenglin heard that she was also going, he knew that he didn't have to do anything about it, nodded and let Rong Zhan out of the flower hall: "Your Highness, sect master, then let's all go and join in the fun." ”

The gambling stone field is next to the ghost market, and if you want to enter the gambling stone market, you can only cross through the ghost market. Ghost market, as the name suggests, is a place where transactions are only made at night, * some fake and private goods. There was no one here during the day, and there were old sacks of skins and stuff scattered on the floor.

I heard a commotion in the gambling stone field from afar, and two teenagers with wooden sticks stood at the door.

Qin Shun was surrounded by a group of people, no, to be exact, surrounded by a group of sticks. Rong Zhan snickered, this master who walked on the ground in strong winds and waves actually capsized in this small ditch today.

The owner of the gambling stone field was not there, and only a middle-aged man in a long shirt was playing with him. Ling'er stepped forward to open a passage for Yuanxi, Rong Zhan and the others to pass through.

Qin Shun saw Yuan Xi, his face was blue and white for a while, and he stammered and called "Sect Master".

"You kid, what kind of stone are you gambling on?!" Rong Zhan couldn't help but scold.

As soon as everyone heard that it was the sect master who came, they hurriedly knelt together, and the middle-aged man in a long robe walked up to Yuan Xi in three steps: "Cao Shuo, the grass people, see the sect master." ”

"Master Cao, disrespectful and disrespectful. Yuan Xi bowed his hand slightly: "Get up." ”

Cao Shuo looked at Yuan Xi silently, then at Qin Shun, and then asked tentatively, "Sect Master, are you here today?"

"Someone. Yuan Xi patted the rough stones on Cao Shuo's table lightly.

Cao Shuo said with a smile: "You know, our small business, a knife is a knife price, the price is clearly marked, and there is no fraud." ”

"Yes," Yuan Xi looked up at Cao Shuo, "So I didn't bring troops with me, did I?"

"Then who are you today?" Cao Shuo was a little confused, and pulled the sleeves of the person next to him: "Go and ask the owner to come quickly." ”

"Gambling stones, a game is decided to win or lose, how?"

Cao Shuo was stunned, so many rough stones, big and small, of different lengths, so good, she dared to say that one game will determine the outcome of the game?

"Sect Master, how can you win or lose in one game?"

"How much silver do you have here?"

"One hundred taels. ”

"Okay, I'll play a hundred taels. As soon as Yuan Xi stretched out his hand, Rong Zhan had already put one hundred taels of silver tickets in her hand: "Our Qin Ye owes you three thousand taels of silver, then I will break a piece of material three thousand taels to you, if you win the bet, I don't want the material, it is considered to be a debt for Qin Ye, if I lose, I will give double, how about six thousand taels?"

Such a big win or loss should be asked by the owner personally, but the owner is drinking flower wine, and he has long been drunk and unconscious, where is he willing to come. Cao Shuo looked at his subordinates, and his scalp was a little numb.

"Alright, Sect Master, please. Cao Shuo spat twice on his hand.

On the table were four rough stones, large and small, with the incisions glowing with emerald green.

Lu Shenglin followed behind, muttering in his heart, jade is the most difficult stone in the world to identify, and it is difficult to guess correctly even if it is a god who gambles on stones. She praised such a Haikou, could it be that the Wei family really had any stunts?

"Sect Master, will you choose a piece?" Cao Shuo said.

"Master Cao, you won't be cheating me, right?

Cao Shuo was stunned for a moment: "Yes, yes, sect master, can you move your steps?"

"Do you want me to go to the warehouse to see?, what can I see clearly when it's dark?" Yuan Xi looked at Cao Shuo sideways and pointed to the empty field in front of him: "Move here for me." ”

You can't mess with anyone and the official, Cao Shuo had a dark face, and said in his heart I don't believe that you can bet once: "Move, move." Come on, bring me the things in the storeroom and move them to the empty yard in front. ”

There were other people playing in the gambling stone field, and when they saw the empty field, they were lively again, and they came up one after another.

Cao Shuo accompanied the smiling face: "Sect Master, please." ”

Two or three hundred pieces of material were neatly stacked into a phalanx. Everyone pointed fingers, and some even put chips for this gamble.

"I can't guess it, the bigger the formation, the smaller the ability, it's all like this, bet on, one hundred taels. ”

"I'm betting on it, what if people are lucky? I'll bet two hundred taels too. ”

This is the gambling game that broke the stone has not yet opened, and a new game has been saved up over there. Rong Zhan found it interesting and took a silver ticket of 1,000 taels: "Which side can guess the bet?"

"This, this. A man pointed to a small pile, where a few hundred taels of silver tickets were sporadically pressed.

"Okay, bet, one thousand taels. Rong Zhan said with a smile.

"Oh! This lord is really heroic!"

"Don't lose and cry!haha!"

Rong Zhan disagreed, and turned to look at Yuan Xi.

Lu Shenglin followed behind Yuan Xi and watched her pick up stones, those with a thin layer of green floating on the surface, and those with a layer of turquoise exposed on the incision. Jumping around, Yuan Xi finally picked a stone that was more than half a person tall and had a line of emerald on his face.

Lu Shenglin nodded, this is also reasonable, after all, people say that they would rather have a line than a piece.

"Qin Shun, weigh this stone. ”

Qin Shun leaned over and hugged the stone, and could only hold the stone off the ground far-fetched: "This is not three hundred catties fast?"

Yuan Xi nodded: "Put it down." ”

Cao Shuo stepped forward: "Sect Master, do you want this?"

"Don't. ”

Won-hee turned around and walked away again.

Lu Shenglin stepped forward and asked, "Sect Master, why don't you want that?"

"That piece is fake, and it's pretty on the outside, but unfortunately it's not real. Yuan Xi said in a low voice: "Jadeite is heavier than stone, such a big piece, the stone alone must have five or six hundred catties, if there is really jadeite in it, it will be heavier." It's only two or three hundred catties, which means that there is a bag of chaff inside!"

"Hehe," Lu Shenglin grinned, "It's really interesting." ”

Yuan Xi picked up a small one again and turned it upside down, and the corners of his lips hooked: "There's a piece of iron stuffed in here." ”

Lu Shenglin came up, and it seemed that the original stone in Yuan Xi's hand had an exposed jade incision, green like a puddle of water, and he was puzzled: "How do you know?"

He took it and looked at it, and the stone was so round and unified, it didn't look like there was a broken place somewhere, and if there was a piece of iron, how did it fit in?

Yuan Xi poked the edge of the jadeite cut with a hairpin, deducting a little white flocculent.

"Yo, is this glue?" Lu Shenglin called out in a low voice.

"Make a hole in the stone, fill it with molten iron, and stick a piece of leftovers. I can make you a hundred and eighty pieces of this thing in an hour. ”

"I said, Sect Master, have you chosen it?" Cao Shuo was upset.

"That's it. Won-hee suddenly pointed to a stupid-looking stone.

"This thing really looks like a wine vat. Lu Shenglin reached out and hugged him.
