Lu Zhen looked into Gu Daoxin's eyes quietly, "Do you want me to be joking, or serious?"

Is this throwing the question at him again?

The corner of Gu Daoxin's mouth twitched twice, but his mind was spinning quickly, trying to figure out whether he just passed it off as a joke or told Lu Zhen seriously.

He had tried Lu Zhen more than once before, but the result always made him disheartened, and since the last trial was over, he thought that he would never try again.But Lu Zhen is too cunning, throwing such a tempting question to himself, if he can still face it calmly, then he doesn't like Lu Zhen that much.

"I……"

"Dao Xin! Brother Xianzhang! Look!" Before Gu Daoxin could say anything, Shen Zhaoyun pushed the door in with a big stone in one hand, put the stone on the table excitedly, and sat down beside Gu Daoxin , "Look at how this stone is? The surname Bai said that this is the best stone his family brought this time. I think it looks really good! Daoxin, please show me again."

The already quite charming atmosphere was completely destroyed in this way, Gu Daoxin resisted the urge to swear, and smiled, "You guys are pretty quick."

Shen Zhaoyun thought he had been praised, and said with a slightly smug expression: "The warehouse is downstairs. We are young, strong and fast, so how much time can we spend! Originally, I said no need to read it. I trusted Bai's eyes. But the surname Bai insisted on asking you to have a look, and the stone selection for the elder sister should not be careless, for fear of any mistakes."

Bai Duanrui regretted a little now, not because he said he would let Gu Daoxin take a look, but because he shouldn't have come to look for Gu Daoxin so late.

Shen Zhaoyun didn't notice, but when he just came in, he felt that Gu Daoxin and this one should be...

Ah, just being spoiled by them like this, I don't know if I will be hated.

Gu Dao felt helpless, but he still took the stone and looked at it.

Just glanced at it, Gu Daoxin raised his eyebrows, "The stones from the old pit in Nanqi are rare."

Bai Duanrui breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Daoxin has good eyesight. The old pit of Nanqi is at the junction of Lanling and Juling. The original stones were excavated more than 50 years ago. The stones that came out at the beginning were excellent, but as time went by Well, good-quality rough stones are getting rarer and rarer, and in the past three years, only three pieces have been produced from Nanqi Laokeng, all of which are mine. This one is of the best quality."

Gu Daoxin nodded, "That's right. I've heard that Nanqi Laokeng is powerful, but now it's not as good as before. I didn't expect Nanqi Laokeng to be the property of the Bai family. Brother Duanrui really keeps it hidden."

Being praised by Gu Daoxin, Bai Duanrui showed a wry smile, "The old pit in Nanqi is famous in the capital, and it produced tribute stones back then. The Bai family still has some influence in Lanling, but it's nothing in the capital ? The old pit that produced the tribute stone is now in the hands of the Bai family, and I think it's because there is nothing left."

"Since we know there is nothing left, why did the Bai family take it?"

"I can't help myself! This old hole in Nanqi was originally..." Bai Duanrui glanced at Lu Zhen and paused for a while.

Gu Daoxin smiled faintly, "Brother Duan Rui, but it's okay to say."

Bai Duanrui gritted his teeth, and then continued: "Although the Nanqi Laokeng has produced tribute stones for the imperial court, it is actually a private property, and each time it only selects the best stones for the imperial court, that is, one piece, and the rest are merchants. Owned by myself. That’s a lot of fat, how can ordinary merchants eat it? Therefore, the people behind all the merchants in Nanqi Laokeng have always been royal relatives. In this generation, the original merchants of Nanqi Laokeng were originally Jing People from His Royal Highness. But the merchants also know that there is nothing to come out of the old pit in Nanqi. Transfer it out, and get another one at the end."

Gu Daoxin understood, "The people in the capital who can eat the old pits are rich and powerful, and King Jing didn't want to offend, so he decided to affiliate the jade merchants in the four cities, and the Bai family is the largest jade merchant in the four cities. , so I let you take over."

"Yes, brother Daoxin is really smart. Of course, the process of taking over the old pit was also tortuous and involved many things, but in the end, we paid a large sum of money and took over the old pit. It has been exactly three years since the family took over Laokeng. In these three years, these three stones have been produced. Even if all of them are produced with the best imperial green, it is far less than the price we paid. Whether they can be produced in the future depends on the price. It depends on God's will."

Shen Zhaoyun slapped the table angrily, "This is clearly buying and selling by force. He doesn't want to lose money, so he lets others take advantage of him!"

Bai Duanrui patted Shen Zhaoyun's hand, "There's nothing you can do about it. People don't fight with officials, let alone he's still a prince. This time, he's going to suffer. Everyone suffers when they're alive. Just take a look."

Gu Daoxin shook his head and sighed, "Brother Duanrui has always seen the world so clearly. Brother Duanrui might as well take me to have a look some other day. Although there is nothing to be found, the famous Nanqi old pit, I I still want to see it.”

"That's easy to say. After this auction is over and I go back, I'll take Brother Dao Xin to have a look."

Gu Daoxin agreed with a smile, and began to look at the stone in his hand again.

"The appearance is neat and solid, with python-like pine flowers all over the body and many windows, and there are no cracks in the openings. The color is high-grade, the species is old and soft, and the possibility of color entering inside is also high, almost half-blocked," Gu Daoxin took it. Show it to Lu Zhen, "Look, the color has turned black! It's beautiful! If it's polished to the brim, it will be perfect! Looking at this stone, it reminds me of a sentence that people used to describe the original stone of the old pit in the Southern Qi Dynasty a long time ago. As the saying goes, it is called "Old Nan Qi who will never die."

Bai Duanrui also laughed, "Now he is still the old Nan Qi who can't be cut to death, but there are not so many good stones for us to cut."

Shen Zhaoyun's eyes sparkled, even Dao Xin said so, then this thing is really good!

"Such a good stone, if you take it to the mark, you can guarantee the bottom of 60 taels! This is too precious!"

"No matter how precious the stone is, if it can be used as your sister's dowry, it will be of its greatest value."

Shen Zhaoyun seemed to have knocked over the honeypot in his heart, but he didn't want to show it too obviously, he could only clenched his fist against his mouth, coughed a few times uncomfortably, a little bit of pink climbed to the tips of his ears before he noticed it .

Gu Dao pursed his lips, turned his head to Lu Zhen's ear and said, "Look at Bai Duanrui, I can see a big tail dangling behind him."

There was no expression on Lu Zhen's face, but there was a smile in his eyes, enjoying the closeness of Gu Daoxin, "Really? Why didn't I see it?"

"Imagine it! It's like a big dog courting its master. When the master is happy, he wags his tail. Do you think it looks like it? This is called a loyal dog!"

While talking, Gu Daoxin didn't pay attention, thinking that his voice was low, so he moved a little closer to Lu Zhen in order to let Lu Zhen hear him clearly.

As a result, he didn't pay attention when he moved to the edge of the stool, and sat out accidentally, and leaned into Lu Zhen's arms unbiasedly.

Lu Zhen's reaction at this time has always been the fastest, he reached out to grab Gu Daoxin, and smoothly took him into his arms.

The stool was completely pushed down, and Gu Dao was still in a daze, so Lu Zhen directly pulled him into his arms and sat down, touching his shoulders and arms, "Did you fall down?"

The cold but gentle voice reached his ears, and Gu Daoxin reacted as if he had been cast out of a spell.

"No, no, I didn't fall."

Bai Duanrui and Shen Zhaoyun looked at each other, laughed with a feeling of "we all understand", and then left together, as if they had just realized that "it's getting late".

Gu Daoxin was already cursing the content of "circle, circle, chacha" in his heart, which is why he didn't leave when he should leave, and slipped fast when he shouldn't. At this time, he is very embarrassed, okay?

"Let's sleep too, it's getting late, and I want to go to the exchange market tomorrow morning."

Gu Daoxin came out of Lu Zhen's arms with a fever from head to toe, and fell asleep after a simple wash.

And the topic that was interrupted by Shen Zhaoyun before seemed to be left behind by the two of them.

The next morning, Gu Daoxin really didn't get enough sleep. When he woke up, he still couldn't open his eyes. He really wanted to continue to sleep, but he told Lu Zhen last night that he had to get up early today to go to the exchange market. If he went, Lu Zhen would think that what he said last night was an excuse.

So I had to get up, after washing and dressing, I called the villain waiting at the entrance to prepare breakfast.After breakfast, at least I can be more energetic.

Gu Daoxin was thinking about Lu Zhen's words all night long. When Lu Zhen said he liked him, he really didn't seem to be joking, but he couldn't be sure, so he just said yes and no... It took most of the night before he fell asleep.

Lu Zhen seemed to have had a good night's sleep, and seemed to be in good spirits.

Well, there are also Bai Duanrui and Shen Zhaoyun who are also good. These two people are full of happiness, and he wonders if there is any too fast progress between them.

The two of them also came over during breakfast, and when they heard that Gu Daoxin was going to visit the market again, they became interested and wanted to go shopping. Anyway, Mingbiao didn't start so soon, so don't worry.Maybe I can pick up a leak today!

Gu Daoxin had an expression of lovelessness, and went shopping with the three of them.

Shen Zhaoyun was in high spirits, "Hey, let me tell you, why do you look so out of spirits! Could it be last night..." The word "late" turned eight corners, his eyes drifted to Lu Zhen behind him, and he smiled very ambiguous.

Gu Daoxin rolled his eyes, "Thinking about you too much, it's just... I just had a dream all night and didn't sleep well."

"Insomnia and dreams! It happens that the one named Bai has a calming fragrance. He suffered from insomnia and dreams a while ago. He specially asked a perfumer to make it for him. Let him make some for you to try."

Gu Daoxin turned his eyes, "How do you know that brother Duan Rui suffered from insomnia a while ago? You also know that the perfumer has mixed incense for him? It's quite understandable that you usually get angry when you meet each other!"

Shen Zhaoyun's ears turned red and he stopped talking.

Gu Daoxin, who had achieved his goal, immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

Lu Zhen looked at Gu Daoxin beside him, silent and thoughtful.
