Chapter 429 Gambling on Stones
Xiao Qingqing looked at Prince Liang like a fool. Spending one thousand taels to buy a stone was really money he had nowhere to spend.
"I won't borrow it." Xiao Qingqing decisively refused.
King Liang became even more anxious when he heard this: "Princess, just lend me some, and I will return it to you, and maybe I can find good jade. How about I give you jewelry by then?"
King Liang continued to persuade Xiao Qingqing and told Xiao Qingqing what the stall owner said.
Xiao Qingqing was speechless after hearing this. This was the usual trick used by these traders to deceive people like King Liang who were not familiar with the world.
"Princess." Prince Liang was still pleading.
This made Xiao Qingqing curious about what kind of stone it was: "Since I'm the one paying, let me see what kind of stone it is."
Hearing that there was a drama, Liang Wang immediately pulled Xiao Qingqing in and showed Xiao Qingqing the stone he wanted to buy.
Xiao Qingqing could see the clues with just one glance. Sure enough, Prince Liang had someone kill him like a pig.
"How dare you ask for a thousand taels for a stone? Instead of selling this broken stone here, it would be faster to rob it directly." Xiao Qingqing snorted coldly, threw the stone in King Liang's hand on the table, and pulled Liang The king is leaving.
Prince Liang was still staring at the stones, unwilling to leave, wondering what was wrong with Xiao Qingqing.
The people around were also pointing and pointing, seeing that the chance to see the stone was gone, they were also ready to disperse.
"You two, please stay."
Suddenly I remembered.
Xiao Qingqing ignored them and was about to leave, but two people who looked like servants blocked their way.
Xiao Qingqing frowned, turned to look behind, and saw a tall and thin man with walnuts in his hand, his eyes locked on the two of them.
"What this lady is saying is too harsh. The price is clearly marked when doing business. You don't have to buy it if you can't afford it, but there is no need to pay for it." Lu Zhaoyin stared at Xiao Qingqing, expressing dissatisfaction with what she just said.
"Am I right? The quality of this stone is not green at first glance, and it is different from the stones you sell in these districts. It is just a low-quality product. If you are so evil as to sell it for a thousand taels, isn't it robbery? "?" Xiao Qingqing analyzed the quality of the stone that King Liang just held.
When the people around heard this, they also observed the stone carefully. Just like what Xiao Qingqing said, it was indeed different, which instantly attracted other people's advice.
Lu Zhaoyin couldn't help but looked at Xiao Qingqing, who had come to cause trouble, and said with a little anger: "I didn't expect that this lady is also someone who understands stones. If so, how dare you take a gamble with me?"
"No time!" Xiao Qingqing refused mercilessly. It was getting late now, and she still needed to rush back to her house.
However, just when Xiao Qingqing was about to leave, the two boys in front of him had no intention of getting out of the way.
"Madam is so powerful but she doesn't dare to do it now. Could it be that she really wants to ruin my situation? She didn't ask who I, Lu Zhaoyin, was in Yanzhou, and she dared to bully me! As long as madam dares to take a gamble with me today, If you win, I will let you go and give you two thousand taels, but if you lose, don't blame me for being rude." Lu Zhaoyin snorted coldly.
Xiao Qingqing looked at the person in front of her. She really didn't know who he was.
However, she could hear the discussions around her clearly.
The Lu Zhaoyin in front of him is a wealthy man in Yanzhou. He is very rich and loves money the most. He also has many properties in Yanzhou, and this stone gambling is one of them.
No wonder this person is so arrogant, he does have some arrogance.
Don't let the two thousand taels delivered to your door go to waste.
"Okay, I promise you." Xiao Qingqing agreed, also wanting to teach him a lesson, but not everyone can be bullied.
"The princess still bets on stones?" King Liang was surprised and asked in a lowered voice.
"It all depends on luck." Xiao Qingqing said lightly. King Liang was shocked and worried that Xiao Qingqing would lose, but he was also curious when he saw Xiao Qingqing's calm and composed appearance.
"You come and choose the stone. I will pay for the stone. But if you lose, you have to pay for the stone and my share of the money." Lu Zhaoyin said.
Xiao Qingqing did not refuse and stood in front of the stall observing the stones.
The people around were also interested in the bet between the two.
"This stone looks good, why not choose this one." King Liang selected those expensive stones. The probability of finding jade in those stones would be higher.
Xiao Qingqing didn't even look at it, her eyes fell on a rough and black stone: "I choose this one."
Lu Zhaoyin took one look at the stone Xiao Qingqing selected and instantly smiled from ear to ear.
"I thought you were a person who understands stones, but I didn't expect to choose such a black lump. Do you really think you can find jade just by looking at this black and good-looking one? To tell you the truth, others have opened this kind of stone many times. Since then, You have never found jade before, so you will definitely lose this time." Lu Zhaoyin sneered, and at the same time selected a high-quality stone.
Compared with Xiao Qingqing's stone, the quality of the stone looks better.
When the onlookers saw this scene, they all felt that Lu Zhaoyin had a greater chance of winning. After all, this was his stall, and no one knew the quality of the stone better than him.
Xiao Qingqing didn't take it seriously: "Are you sure you choose this one?"
"Of course." Lu Zhaoyin handed the stone in his hand to the stall owner, "Open mine first, so that she can see the power of my stone!"
"It's Master." The stall owner took it respectfully and began to unpack the stone in full view of everyone.
Everyone stretched out their heads, full of anticipation.
"It's green, it's green!" suddenly shouted from the crowd.
I saw green just after a cut.
"It's full of green! Look at the quality, it's of high quality!" someone shouted excitedly.
This scene makes people jealous.
Lu Zhaoyin seemed to have guessed this a long time ago and was not surprised. Instead, he looked at Xiao Qingqing with a smile.
"See, you're going to lose! It's better to admit defeat now, kneel down respectfully and kowtow to me to admit your mistake. Maybe I will spare you, but it won't embarrass you for a while." The walnut plate in Lu Zhaoyin's hand clattered.
"My stone hasn't been solved yet, how do I know who will lose and who will win?" Xiao Qingqing handed her stone to the stall owner.
The stall owner looked at Lu Zhaoyin hesitantly.
"Okay, then I'll convince you!" Lu Zhaoyin motioned to the stall owner to untie the stone.
Seeing that the stall owner was about to cut the stone into pieces, Xiao Qingqing immediately stopped him: "It's made by grinding."
"What's the point of grinding this broken stone? I really thought it was some kind of rarity!" The stall owner was immediately dissatisfied upon hearing Xiao Qingqing's request and complained about her unreasonableness.
You must know that polishing a stone takes a long time, and it is also the most tiring. Generally, they are one-size-fits-all, which is more intuitive.
"If you cut my stone into pieces, can you afford to pay for it? If you cut it all, it's obvious that the price of jade is high, but because you cut it all, the price is greatly reduced. Will you compensate me?" Xiao Qingqing asked, insisting on using the sharpener. of.
