Chapter 184: Husband and wife join forces, invincible
The shopkeeper obviously knew the man and greeted him with a smile as soon as he entered.
"Hey, Fang Dayi, you still haven't given up, how many stones have you broken today?"
"The last piece."
The man named Fang Dayi didn't look back, his eyes fixed on his precious stone. "This one will definitely yield something. I have a feeling that I will turn stone into gold today."
The people around burst into laughter when they heard this.
Fang Dayi, young but idle, relied on his good looks to trick Yunniang from a tailor shop into marrying him.
In just one year, his wife was so angry at his gambling addiction that she wanted to divorce him.
Fang Dayi never goes to gambling houses or brothels.
I just love gambling on stones.
There is no trick to gambling on stones. It all depends on your eyes, and the remaining 90% depends on luck.
But he had very bad luck. He bought countless pieces of stones, but not a single one of them was green after being cut.
But he just didn't believe it. He fought and failed again and again, but he kept fighting.
People around have seen such scenes many times.
When Lu Wanyin came in, she was right at the stone where Jie Fang Dayi was.
I saw two stone-cutting masters, one of them holding a pot and pouring water from top to bottom.
Another person took the saw, adjusted the direction, and slowly cut the stone along the direction of the water flow.
Lu Wanyin leaned aside and asked Xie Jingci in a low voice, "Do you think you can get the jade out of this?"
Xie Jingci stared for a moment and shook his head slightly.
The yard became quiet.
Everyone stared at the saw falling, their faces becoming serious.
If you can get jade from the stone, you will make a lot of money.
If you can find rare jadeite, you might become rich overnight.
Fang Dayi's fingers were trembling, his eyes were fixed on the stone, and he was muttering to himself.
"Green, green, green..."
The stone seemed to hear Fang Dayi's prayer.
A faint green light slowly emerged from under the saw.
Seeing this scene, Fang Dayi was ecstatic, "I got it, haha, I got it!!"
But the next second, when he saw the internal structure of the stone clearly, his face turned pale and all his radiance was instantly lost.
There is no green in that stone.
The green light I saw just now was just a shadow refracted by the light.
After the stone cutter finished the first cut, he knew that the stone was of little value, but he still asked: "Do you want to cut it a second time?"
"open!"
Fang Dayi knew that the stone would not work, but this was his last chance, and beads of cold sweat fell from his forehead.
I cut it again, but still no reaction.
Fang Dayi's legs and feet went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, actually laughing foolishly: "I got it, I got a green one, what a huge emerald!"
Seeing this, the shopkeeper shook his head and said, "He's crazy! Send him out right away!"
Several workers immediately carried him away and threw him out, as if they had encountered some bad luck.
Seeing this, Lu Wanyin shook her head and said, "Small gambling can make you happy, but big gambling can hurt your health."
Not only is it harmful to your health, but you will also face the fate of being separated from your wife and children when you return.
Xie Jingci said quietly, "Madam, you want to see what Fancheng is most famous for, and that's gambling on stones."
"Yes, isn't Fancheng also known as the Gambling Stone City? It's so hard to come here, it would be boring if we don't gamble."
Lu Wanyin rubbed his hands together, "Let's go, let's go, we're almost at our rock."
Seeing her eager look, Xie Jingci raised his eyebrows slightly.
What kind of wife is like her, bringing her husband to gamble on stones, and being so swaggering?
...Never mind, my wife is not an ordinary person.
The stone that Lu Wanyin picked was slightly larger than Fang Dayi's.
The stone cutter gestured for a moment and asked, "Where should I start cutting?"
Lu Wanyin thought for a moment and poked Xie Jingci beside her, "Husband, please help me pick a place."
The word "husband" made Xie Jingci's ears burn.
He looked at Lu Wanyin's red lips opening and closing, and wanted to kiss her again.
But there were so many people here and so many eyes on him, Xie Jingci suppressed his distracting thoughts and picked up the brush beside him.
"Cut it here."
When Master Jie Shi saw the straight vertical lines in his paintings, he couldn't help but look at him twice.
With such powerful hands, he must be either an expert or a trained practitioner.
"Here then."
Lu Wanyin pointed at the line Xie Jingci had just drawn and said with a smile, "Master, be careful. Don't damage my jade."
"Okay."
The shopkeeper was also watching from the side. When he heard Lu Wanyin's words, he smiled and didn't take it seriously.
As soon as he saw Lu Wanyin picking up the stones, he knew it was her first time playing with stones.
If this can allow her to cut out jade, then his name, Jin Ruyu, must be written backwards!
Xie Jingci didn't care.
He came here to play with his wife, and as long as his wife had a good time, anything was fine.
After drawing the lines, the stone-cutting master watered the stone while he sawed it, following the same steps as before.
When cutting the stone, it is necessary to grind and rub the stone. It is a very complicated process and most people cannot do it at all.
It may look simple to others, but the skills are acquired through time and effort.
After cutting it in half, the stone cutter stopped, rinsed it with water, and his pupils suddenly dilated.
"It's green!"
In a word, everyone else was attracted over as well.
Someone with sharp eyes noticed that there was a hint of green on the cut surface of the stone.
“It’s a nice painting.”
Lu Wanyin was also a little surprised watching from the side.
Although she was an outsider, she could tell that she must have produced something good.
Seeing Fang Dayi's anxious look before, she thought it would be difficult to get green.
Thinking of the tangent line drawn by her husband, she couldn't help but turn her head and said, "My husband is so amazing."
Xie Jingci held her hand unnoticeably and squeezed it gently, "It's the Madam who picked it well."
Her voice, appearance and smile were reflected in Xie Jingci's eyes, and he couldn't help but pull the corners of his lips slightly.
He is happy when his wife is happy.
The two stone-cutting masters became busy again.
More and more people gathered and surrounded to watch the stone-cutting process. Even Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci were pushed aside.
Xie Jingci calmly held Lu Wanyin in his arms and protected her carefully.
The first cut of the stone is okay, but you have to be more careful as you go along.
Because the stone is getting smaller and smaller, it is easy to cut the chalcedony next to it if you are not careful.
About an incense stick of time later, a fist-sized piece of green jade appeared in the hands of the stone-cutting master.
There is still a lot of stone skin on it, but we can't cut any further, otherwise the jade inside will be damaged.
"Damn, Green Jade"
“This must be worth a lot of money.”
"Wait, there's a hint of purple in there... This isn't green jadeite, this is spring jadeite!"
For a moment, the stone gamblers nearby were shocked.
Lu Wanyin didn't understand gambling on stones, but seeing their shocked expressions, she knew that she must have gotten something good.
What's better than gambling?
Of course I won the bet!
"Husband! Look, have we found something good?"
Lu Wanyin raised her little face, looking charming and cute, "I told you that if we join forces, we will be invincible."
Xie Jingci's eyes fell on her red lips that were opening and closing.
The image of her sweating profusely on him last night emerged in his mind, and his throat moved slightly, and a sense of restlessness rose.
Madam, you look so delicious.
