Hongdi

Ching Hsiang's gambling stone this year is rough jadeite, and the number of buyers who come here is only a lot more than in previous years.Following a few high-sounding polite words from the boss, the 50 yuan rough stones of almost the same size were lifted onto the high platform in the center.Buyers came to the stage one after another, and by the flickering candlelight, they could distinguish the authenticity of the stone with only a pair of naked eyes.Qingxiang's rules: look, yes; touch, no.

Jiang Shuihan moved slowly with the old housekeeper Jiang Wang, walking all the way, the old man didn't even hit a stone.Jiang Shuihan glanced at Jiang Nuanzhu, who was halfway out on the second floor, and shook his head.Seeing this, Jiang Nuanzhu lowered his head, allowing his breasts to bloom.He didn't mind, Jiang Shui was so cold that he was a little scared, he quickly winked, and said in his heart: "My lady, at least you are a woman now, so you have to pay attention to your image. There is a malicious Han Qi next to him, if this reveals But it’s good.”

Jiang Nuanzhu ignored him, turned to Han Qi and said, "My lord, my old housekeeper said that there are no good things here. Let's go inside and have some snacks."

Han Qi nodded, and then entered the private room.

Jiang Nuanzhu watched coldly the people outside scrambling for a few stones, and replied to Han Qi's words one after another, feeling bored.By the time of the second wave, he was almost falling asleep.Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Jiang Nuanzhu stood up, and said to Han Qi: "My lord, I'm going this wave, they are all small stones, I like them."

"I'll accompany you." After finishing speaking, Han Qi took Jiang Nuanzhu's hand and walked down the stairs.

Jiang Nuanzhu groaned in his heart, and when he saw Jiang Wang and Jiang Shuihan rushing over, he threw Han Qi away and called out sweetly, "Uncle Wang, Nuanzhu wants a beautiful stone."

Jiang Wang shivered with a fat belly, looked at the childish little boss with a smile, patted his arm holding his arm fondly, "Okay, Uncle Wang will definitely get you a fresh stone this time. He smiled mysteriously, and said again: "I have already set my sights on a piece, let's go and have a look together later."

"Yeah." Jiang Nuanzhu smiled like a cat stealing her mouth.

Jiang Shuihan rubbed his slightly tight brows, and clasped his fists at Han Qi, who was covered in black lines, "Will King Jin come with you?"

"Of course, today I will pay you the money."

Jiang Nuanzhu immediately looked over with a smile, "The lord is really bold, so I'll be disrespectful." After speaking, he dragged Jiang Wang to the high platform.

What Jiang Wang was looking at was an unremarkable black rough stone, only the size of a quail egg. Jiang Nuanzhu stared at the stone for a long time, and finally said four words, "This, Mo... Cui?"

Han Qi didn't understand much, so he didn't express anything.The expressions on Jiang Wang and Jiang Shuihan's faces were rich, one was Wang Shi lamenting, the other was helpless.Jiang Nuanzhu curled her lips and said, "I just can't learn it."

"It's okay, it's okay. Maybe Nuan Zhu can talk, it's a piece of Mo Cui. There's no way to be sure about this stone bet." Jiang Wang hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Don't praise him, old man. Why is Mo Cui so rough? Besides, even if it is, how can there be so much exposed on the gambling stone? The stone skin is completely black."

"Jiang Shuihan..." Jiang Nuanzhu blinked innocently, pouted her lips, and said, "If it's Moyu, I'll give it to you as a token of love, okay?"

"No, I have a sweetheart. I have also chosen the stone for her." As he spoke, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Really? Which one?"

Jiang Shuihan pointed helplessly at a gray rough stone next to him, and then said: "Okay, let's go down after the selection is made, and others will come to see it." After finishing speaking, he said to Han Qi: "Your Majesty, don't pick one. ?”

Han Qi smiled and looked at Jiang Nuanzhu, "How about choosing another piece of Nuanzhu to give to this king?"

Jiang Nuanzhu was taken aback for a moment, and then burst into laughter, "Yeah, okay. You wait for me to discuss with Uncle Wang, and I will choose a treasure for you." He thought, "It's no wonder..."

Jiang Nuanzhu pulled Jiang Wang to choose carefully, and finally found a flat rough stone that should be the least valuable, and gave it to Han Qi.Afterwards, Jiang Nuanzhu handed over the bidding to Jiang Shuihan. Anyway, Han Qi paid the money, so he didn't bother to take care of it.

After getting the round black stone, Jiang Nuanzhu couldn't wait to let Dongguo, the first swordsman of Hongbao Pavilion who followed him, start the operation.Under the yingying candlelight, the black skin gradually recedes, revealing the green and moist stones like tender grass, mixed with a few strands of warm white, like a greengage made of honey, moist and transparent, it is actually a xiazhen Dust Gucui.

Jiang Nuanzhu stretched out his finger and touched it lightly, for fear of breaking it accidentally, he stared straight at Cui in front of him with a pair of eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.

Dong Guo coughed lightly, and replied: "What design does Miss want, can I engrave the little one for you?"

"Ah? Pattern, let me think about it. Um... can you make it look like a silver handle for me? It's better to inlaid with silver, make it sparkling, and I will wear it on my ears."

Dong Guo thought about it seriously, and said: "Miss, that is no problem, but it may be a bit heavy for you to wear."

Jiang Wang also shook his head, and said, "Nuanzhu, why don't you let Dongguo carve a jade cicada? You can hang it anywhere with you."

Jiang Nuanzhu tilted her head and thought for a while, "Well, that's okay, Yin Kai's words seem a bit vulgar."

Jiang Shuihan interjected in time, "My lord, miss, the third wave has begun."

Everyone walked up to the high platform again, and the larger rough stone of 12 yuan had been placed properly.During the period, the two blue-black stones were extremely eye-catching, but Qingxiang had a rule: the third wave of 12 yuan rough stones must be divided into twelve families.Jiang Nuanzhu frowned slightly, looked at Jiang Wang, who was still carefully looking at the blue-black rough stone in front of him, and at Jiang Shuihan, who had a hesitant expression, and took a step back helplessly.When the wind came, a vague herbal smell invaded the nostrils.Jiang Nuanzhu looked sideways in surprise, and saw a man in black tilting his head in the shadow of the corner, as if he was staring at another bluer black rough stone in the distance.It's a bit far away, so I can't see it very clearly, but I can be sure that there is no one else in that place, Jiang Nuanzhu felt inexplicably tense, "I can't even see clearly, how can I smell the smell coming from that direction?"

"Miss, I think we want this piece." Jiang Wang's words interrupted Jiang Nuanzhu's fluttering thoughts. He looked at the blackish rough stone in front of him, and pointed to the blue one in the distance, "Would you like it?" That piece."

"Miss, let's listen to the old butler. That piece is not as good as this one." Jiang Shuihan frowned and looked at Jiang Nuanzhu who didn't know why, "Miss?"

"Ah? Oh, but," Jiang Nuanzhu looked back at the corner again, but the man in black had disappeared.After pondering for a while, Jiang Nuanzhu let out a breath slowly, and said, "If you don't want this, just bet on that one."

In fact, although the two black stones are eye-catching, they are not the most sought-after, and the blackish bluish rough stone with a slight yellow spot that Jiang Nuanzhu chose is not the object of competition.Early on, he was taken down by the cold water of the river.Dong Guo hugged the stone, not intending to cut it.Han Qi asked in confusion: "Why, why don't you cut it open and have a look now?"

Jiang Nuanzhu smiled, and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know something, you have to worship all the great gods before you can use the knife."

I saw Jiang Wang skillfully arranging melon and fruit tributes on the table, pulling Jiang Nuanzhu and Jiang Shuihan, followed by Dong Guo, the four seriously worshiped the god above their heads, and then Dong Guo carefully cut them with a knife. Open that rough stone.

The candlelight was flickering, and the warm yellow light in the room turned into a bright blue light at the moment the stone was cut.The water-green emerald stone seems to have faint ripples, crystal clear under the candlelight.The stone skin is very thin, and most of the watermelon-sized rough stone is emerald.The green color is as moist as water, without a trace of impurities - the first-class Yanxia Zhenchen Gucui.

Everyone stayed there for a while, Dong Guo was the first to react, knelt down in front of the table with a "plop", and began to worship God.Then Jiang Wang grabbed Jiang Nuanzhu and Jiang Shuihan and knelt down too.After kowtowing, Jiang Wang held Jiang Nuanzhu tremblingly, and was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Dong Guo took a step forward, opened his mouth wide, and said with a smile: "Second Miss is really a god! I have cut stones for most of my life, and this is the best emerald stone I have ever seen. Second Miss is really amazing."

"Nuan Zhu is our Jiang family's lucky star. With Nuan Zhu here, our Jiang family must have good weather." Jiang Wang finally calmed down a little, and pulled Jiang Nuan Zhu, wishing he could hold him in his palm.

"Miss, you are really accurate this time!" Jiang Shuihan also smiled, and raised his thumb at him.

Han Qi looked at the excited crowd, then looked at the cut jade, and said with a smile: "Nuanzhu really has a good eye, I can't help but look forward to the stone you chose for me."

Jiang Nuanzhu looked at the smiling faces of the crowd blankly, and lowered his head in embarrassment, "It's just a coincidence that the blind cat hit the mouse." He said, but he was still thinking about the man in black just now.

Han Qi looked at the night outside the window, and it was almost four o'clock, so she proposed to have some supper to celebrate.Seeing that everyone was very interested, Jiang Nuanzhu agreed.After drinking and eating, Jiang Nuanzhu wanted to go back home, Han Qi insisted on giving him a ride, but Jiang Nuanzhu refused, and followed him into the carriage of Prince Jin's mansion.

The carriage staggered all the way, Jiang Nuanzhu felt his head getting heavier and heavier, and his upper and lower eyelids kept fighting, while Han Qi seemed to have fallen asleep leaning on the soft pillow.Jiang Nuanzhu was startled suddenly, and thought, "No, how could Hanqi fall asleep? He invited me into the car very excitedly just now, and said he wanted to know more about Yu, how could he fall asleep? With his so sophisticated Personality, shouldn't be." Jiang Nuanzhu tried to open his mouth to call him, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all, his heart was not good, but he couldn't bear the sleepiness that hit him any longer, "I can't sleep, the enemy is dark and I am clear , once the identity is discovered, there must be more than one person involved. You must not sleep!"
