Chapter 117: Gambling on Stones to Make Money
The person inside the house seemed to sense someone coming outside and quickly opened the door.
"Feng Miao." Lin Xi was quite surprised. He didn't expect to see Feng Miao here. Could it be that the matter of buying the mountain that he had mentioned earlier had already been finalized?
"Young Master, Young Madam." Feng Miao greeted and said, "I have already completed what you asked me to do last time. The information about all the surrounding mountains is here."
Lin Xi saw a thick stack of information on the table and picked it up. The surrounding mountain conditions and topographic maps were very detailed.
The person that the regent left for his son was indeed powerful.
"Without further delay, let's look at them one by one." Lin Xi said.
She had already seen Jin Zi waving at him, and she couldn't wait to go over and take a look.
Xiao Yongyan quickly stopped the man and said, "Don't worry, Xier, you have nothing in your hands, are you relying on your eyes?"
Lin Xi then remembered that he had not yet exchanged the detector, no wonder they suspected him.
But if she took out the detector, wouldn't they be even more suspicious, and then it would be hard to explain.
"System, don't you have any detector with better camouflage performance?"
[All detection devices in the system have camouflage functions, please rest assured. ]
[This function will consume 66 points]
Lin Xi was quite happy when he heard the first half of the sentence, but he almost couldn't breathe when he heard the second half. 66 points, why don't you grab this system!
Her feelings are no secret to the system.
[Since the mineral plate function is more technologically advanced, the experience value consumption is greater. 】
Lin Xi's mouth twitched. Whatever you say is what it is. There is nothing she can do about it.
"Let's talk about it after lunch." Lin Xi said.
Xiao Yongyan said, "You didn't sleep all night yesterday. Are you still energetic now? Go to bed quickly."
As they were talking, Lin Xi was urged by Xiao Yongyan to go to bed.
She thought she wasn't that sleepy, but she fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
When I woke up, it was already afternoon.
After a quick late lunch, the three of them prepared to set off.
The first stop is not to go to the top of the mountain, but to buy the entire mountain.
At first, Lin Xi thought of buying the hills with mines. But he soon thought that was not right. If he only bought the hills with mines, it would be too easy for people to find out.
As long as people know where she wants to buy, they can just follow her and buy it.
After thinking it over again and again, Lin Xi decided to buy it first.
But when I went to the government to inquire, I found out that in Xucheng, hills cannot be bought and sold, they can only be rented.
The so-called renting requires first paying a deposit of ten thousand taels of silver and promising not to do evil here or become the king of the mountain.
It's called a deposit, but in fact it's more like protection money. If you do something bad, the court will use this money to pay for beating you.
This is an astronomical figure for Lin Xi. She doesn't have that much money at the moment.
The three men left the county government office, looking worried for a moment.
Feng Miao said, "Young Master, if you must buy the mountain, the master left you a sum of money. Do you want to use it?"
Lin Xi was shocked. The Regent had even considered this at the beginning. No wonder he was the Regent.
"This sum of money..." Xiao Yongyan was a little undecided for a moment. Ten thousand taels was not a small amount. Although the money left by his father was enough to deal with it, who knew if he would have a place to spend the money in the future.
She, Lin Xi, has a golden finger, so how could she let Xiao Yongyan use this money?
"No need, I have a way." Lin Xi patted his chest and assured.
Xiao Yongyan smiled bitterly. If it was one thousand taels, Lin Xi might have a way, but that was ten thousand taels. What could he do?
"Do you know what is the most reasonable, legal and fastest way to make money in this world?" Lin Xi asked mysteriously.
Xiao Yongyan shook his head in confusion.
"Of course, I'm going to gamble!" Lin Xi said proudly. What other way could be to make money faster than gambling?
Just when she was getting excited, Xiao Yongyan poured a bucket of cold water on her, "No, are you crazy? You may earn this money but not spend it."
The people who run the gambling house are not good people. They won so much at once, and the people in the casino would not let them go out the door. Madam thought it was too simple.
"Who said we were going to the casino?" Lin Xi said, "That place is said to rely on luck, but there are always cheaters in every casino. We are going to a place where luck is the real test."
Xiao Yongyan and Feng Miao had no idea what Lin Xi was up to.
"Gambling on stones." Lin Xi said.
As the name suggests, gambling on stones means buying stones at a very low price. If jade is found inside the stones, it will be a huge profit.
"Are you sure about this gambling on stones?" Xiao Yongyan couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. If it could work, it would be a good choice.
Places where you gamble on stones are full of uncertainties. Even if you become rich overnight in such a place, no one will stop you. They will just think that your ancestral graves are buried in the right place and you are extremely lucky.
"Is there a place to gamble on stones in Xucheng?" Lin Xi asked.
Feng Miao looked hesitant and looked at Xiao Yongyan, who nodded slightly.
If Lin Xi wants to go, then let her go. How can she give up without going through it once? Since ancient times, there has been no one in a hundred miles who can make money by gambling on stones. He knows that his little wife is capable, but that is at the business level, not gambling on stones.
"There is indeed a place in the west of the city where you can gamble on stones." Feng Miao said.
Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, "We have to disguise ourselves."
Soon, the three of them changed their clothes. Feng Miao put on a gauze dress and a white gauze scarf, looking like a lady from a noble family.
As for Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan, they dressed up as a maid and a servant respectively.
Feng Miao walked in front, with Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan following behind her. She looked like a young lady followed by two servants.
The three of them came all the way to Shenxianju, a place in the west of the city that specializes in gambling on jade. The so-called Shenxianju means that if one can open a piece of real jade here, one will be as free as a god.
Lin Xi was not interested in these, but there was one thing she cared about, and that was whether the stones here were big enough.
If it is small, if you open many successful ones at once, it will definitely attract everyone's attention, and it will be difficult to get away then.
But if it was a big stone, only one would be enough to satisfy her needs.
Just as the three of them walked to the entrance of Shenxian Residence, they were suddenly stopped by someone. "Excuse me, do you three have an invitation?"
Feng Miao shook her head. "I've never heard of an invitation being required to come here."
The man said politely, "Madam, every auction at Shenxianju requires an invitation to enter. If you don't have one, you really can't get in."
"Is there any way to get an invitation?" Feng Miao asked.
"If someone can introduce me, then of course you can," the man said.
Lin Xi finally understood that Shenxianju only serves regular customers and naturally has a sense of distrust towards strangers like them.
