Beautiful mayor's wife

Ma Xiaoyao pouted: "If that's the case...then I won't change it."

"you……"

"I'm going to find someone else to change it, and there must be many people who are interested."

"Mr. Ma, are you threatening me!"

"The second prince was joking, how dare I threaten you! I'm just explaining the facts. For something as precious as Yuanshi, there will definitely be many people rushing to get it."

"Even if someone rushes to ask for it, it is impossible to give you ten gold mines!"

"I can send the primordial stone to the auction house for auction." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile: "The auction will definitely fetch a very high price, even if you can't get ten gold mines, it will still be higher than the price offered by the second prince. "

"Are you so confident?" Zhao Jinliang's expression darkened.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I still have this bit of confidence."

"Why are you arguing..." Xing Yajun came out to smooth things over: "Mr. Ma, just give in and stop fighting with the second prince..."

"Okay." Ma Xiaoyao curled his lips: "For the sake of the shopkeeper Xing, I will take a step back. As long as the second prince gives me five gold mines, I will sell you the primordial stone."

"As I said, I will give you a gold mine at most." Zhao Jinliang's attitude was very firm.

"Then I'll take a step back... I don't want the gold mine anymore, you can exchange it with me for the metallic primordial stone."

"Metallic primordial stone?"

"Yes, it shouldn't be a problem to exchange the metal primordial stone for the water attribute primordial stone in my hand, right? It's very fair to exchange one for one."

"This……"

"What? The second prince is still not willing?" Ma Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was a little dissatisfied: "I want gold mines and you won't give me, and I want metallic primordial stones and you won't give them either. Now I doubt you buying primordial stones." Sincerely."

"...Let me think about it, and I will give you an answer tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll wait for the second prince's reply."

The conversation basically fell apart at this point.

"I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first." Zhao Jinliang arched his hands, then turned and strode away.

"Mr. Ma...are you not afraid of offending the Second Prince by doing this?" Xing Yajun was worried.

"Scared! Of course I'm afraid!" Ma Xiaoyao smiled faintly: "Although I don't want to offend the second prince, I don't want to be taken advantage of. Exchanging a gold mine for primordial stones is simply nonsense."

"Then you can't open your mouth and ask for ten gold mines." Xing Yajun smiled wryly: "No matter how valuable Yuanshi is, it's not worth ten gold mines."

"Haven't I already descended to five gold mines?"

"It's still a bit high... I think the two gold mines are about the same..."

"Two gold mines? Are you kidding me! Yuanshi is only worth two gold mines?"

"Aren't you afraid that the second prince will use tough methods?"

"If he uses force, I will fly away immediately, so that he will never find me for the rest of his life."

"Mr. Ma..." Xing Yajun wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Ma Xiaoyao couldn't listen anymore.

"Okay, stop talking, let me be quiet for a while." Ma Xiaoyao waved impatiently: "I'm walking around, don't follow me." After saying this, Ma Xiaoyao lifted his feet and left.

Xing Yajun sighed softly: "This Mr. Ma... is good everywhere, but his temper is too stubborn..."

In the next period of time, Ma Xiaoyao picked a few more stones, and without exception, they all cut out valuable things.

As the sun set and darkness descended, the stone betting competition was temporarily suspended, and all the guests left one after another.

Ma Xiaoyao and Xing Yajun tidied up and left the manor. On the way back, Xing Yajun frowned, looking sullen.

"What? Still thinking about the second prince?" Ma Xiaoyao asked casually.

"Mr. Ma, you are not from the Liang Kingdom... so you don't understand the power of the second prince. Let me tell you, the second prince is very powerful..."

"Okay, don't scare me."

"I didn't scare you. What I said is true. The second prince is really scary. Anyone who offends him will end badly."

"Master Xing, if you tell me about this again, I will break up with you."

"Don't, don't break up, okay! I won't say it, I won't say it!"

Once Ma Xiaoyao used his trump card, Xing Yajun would be discouraged. Now that Ma Xiaoyao is his God of Wealth, Xing Yajun can't let Ma Xiaoyao go anyway.

After a while, the two returned to their residence, washed up briefly, and then began to eat dinner.

The food was very rich, with wine and meat. Ma Xiaoyao ate very comfortably, but Xing Yajun was a bit tasteless. People, once there are troubles, no matter what they do, they will not be interested.

"Okay, I'm full, eat slowly by yourself." Ma Xiaoyao wiped his mouth, pushed away the chair, stood up, and strode away.

"Alas..." Xing Yajun sighed heavily: "I should be happy when I won money today, but... I can't be happy... I'm really aggrieved..."

……

Early the next morning, Ma Xiaoyao was woken up by Xing Yajun, saying that the second prince, Zhao Jinliang, had come and wanted to see Ma Xiaoyao by name.

"Okay, got it, you tell the second prince to wait for a while, I'll be there right away." Ma Xiaoyao yawned.

After a while, the well-dressed Ma Xiaoyao came to the front hall.

"Mr. Ma, I agree with your terms." Zhao Jinliang stood up and said with a smile, "I will give you ten gold mines!"

"Eh?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned immediately: "You...agree...to give me ten gold mines?"

"Yes." Zhao Jinliang nodded vigorously: "But I have a small request."

"any request?"

"I want to invite Mr. Ma to join the court as an official."

"What? Make me an official?"

"Yes, I want Mr. Ma to be the leader of the Gambling Stone Yamen." Zhao Jinliang said.

"Gambling stone yamen?"

"It is the yamen responsible for supervising and managing the gambling stones of the entire Daliang Kingdom. The power is not small, and it is an official position of the third rank."

"Thank you, Second Prince, for your kindness. I'm not very talented, and I really can't be the director of the Gambling Stone Yamen." Ma Xiaoyao rejected it immediately. He is not interested in making him prime minister.

"Mr. Ma, think again..."

"Don't think about it, I'm really not suitable to be an official."

"That would be a pity."

Seeing Ma Xiaoyao's resolute attitude, Zhao Jinliang had no choice but to give up the idea: "Since Mr. Ma doesn't want to be the leader of the Gambling Stone Yamen, then I can't give you ten gold mines..." At this point, Zhao Jinliang paused: " I can only give you two gold mines now, this is my bottom line, and I will not change it."

"Yesterday I also proposed... to exchange it with metallic primordial stones..."

"It's even more impossible for me to agree to this."

"There is no room for negotiation?"

"no!"

"...All right, two gold mines are two gold mines, but I have to add an additional condition."

"Additional conditions? What conditions?" Zhao Jinliang asked in surprise, he was really afraid that Ma Xiaoyao would open his mouth again.

"Second prince, don't be nervous. My condition is very simple, or it is very simple for you." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile: "I want to go to the backcourt to gamble with the shopkeeper Xing, but I don't have an invitation... the soldier guarding the gate Do not let in..."

"It's simple." Zhao Jinliang smiled: "I'll make two invitations for you later." This condition is really not difficult.

"Then it's settled." Ma Xiaoyao flipped his wrist, and a white stone appeared in his palm. This is the water-attribute primordial stone. It looks ordinary, but it is actually very precious. You can feel the strong water energy inside the stone.

"This is a contract for two gold mines. From today, these two gold mines belong to Mr. Ma." Zhao Jinliang put the two contracts on the table.

After Ma Xiaoyao's inspection was correct, he signed the contract.

"Mr. Ma, I hope you can think about it again. I am very sincere. If Mr. Ma changes his mind and wants to become an official in the court, he can go directly to the palace to find me." After saying this, Zhao Jinliang took With Yuan Shi left.

After Zhao Jinliang left, Xing Yajun finally expressed the question in his heart: "Mr. Ma...you said yesterday...that you would not sell Yuanshi at the price of two gold mines...why did you change your mind today..."

"I kept thinking last night, is it worth it to offend the second prince of the dynasty for a Yuanshi?"

"Of course not worth it!"

"I thought so too, so I sold the primordial stone to the second prince."

"you……"

"What are you? Why don't you hurry up and prepare breakfast! After eating, you have to go to the stone gambling competition to make a fortune." Ma Xiaoyao gave Xing Yajun a hard look: "Time is money to us, so let's delay it for a while , we will lose tens of thousands of taels of silver."

"...I've prepared breakfast a long time ago and put it on the table behind."

"Ah? Really...why didn't I see it just now?"

"...Mr. Ma, these two gold mines..."

"You don't want to play gold mines." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "These two gold mines are very important to me, I can't share them with you, but don't worry, I will make up for you, in the next few days , I will help you win a lot of money, in a word, I will not let you suffer."

"Okay, I'm relieved with your words."

The two finished their breakfast as quickly as possible, and then hurried to the site of the stone gambling competition.

On the way, the two were still calculating, wondering if anyone had bet against them today, if not...it would be too boring.

Facts have proved that they really guessed, and no one came out to provoke them all day today.

In the end, they had no choice but to gamble on stones down-to-earth. In this way, the speed of making money would be much slower. Zhao Jinliang really meant what he said, and he asked his subordinates to send two invitation cards, which said Ma Xiaoyao and Xing Yajun With these two invitations, Ma Xiaoyao and Xing Yajun can freely enter and exit the backcourt.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the day is quickly over.

Ma Xiaoyao and Xing Yajun's harvest today was not bad, they cut out a lot of valuable things, but compared to yesterday's income, it was far worse.
