"Good guy, really good guy."
"These three helpers are not simple. They are dressed like real people."
"You two are so good at singing the same tune that I almost got fooled by you!"
"Old man, tell me the truth, you also invited the people from Sufan Temple to perform, right?"
"Aren't you just trying to trick me into buying stones?"
"Why would you even orchestrate such a big drama?"
"I'm telling you, gamblers will never die a good death!"
"I will never buy this stone!"
Qin Yuanyao said to the vendor, "My dear brother, you really misunderstood. This is the first time we've met this old man. We don't know him at all."
The vendor refused to believe it and immediately sneered, "Yeah, yeah, who hasn't just met everyone here?"
"Don't even think about trying to get me to gamble on rocks!"
After saying that, he went behind the stall, fell asleep, and ignored me.
Ming Zhanxue smiled secretly, with a hint of charm on her red lips, and thought to herself: If you knew the identities of these people in front of you, you would probably never be able to say these words again.
There is no need to mention Murong Yanran.
Just the four words "Qin Yuan, Jingzhou Tongpan" can scare you to death.
But this hawker interrupted him.
The originally awkward, yet cold atmosphere between the three of them was relieved a lot.
Murong Yanran's heart was pounding, her face flushed, and she quickly shifted her focus and asked, "Grandpa, can I choose this?"
She pointed at the jagged stalagmite that looked like a fang, her expression extremely serious.
Yu Sou nodded and said seriously, "Please tell me, young lady, what shape should this jade in the stone be made into?"
It was obvious that he didn't take the vendor's words to heart.
Even these words failed to stir up any ripples in his heart.
Murong Yanran opened her mouth slightly, and for a moment she found it difficult to make a decision.
She gently stroked the stalagmite with her slightly transparent fingertips, as if painting a picture. She pondered for a long time before speaking:
"I think it should be made into a jade ruyi... uh, no, it's better to make it into a jade scepter."
Despite giving the answer.
She was still frowning, hesitant, and the hesitation on her face had not diminished in the slightest.
After Murong Yanran's popular science explanation, Qin Yuan had just learned how to play with "jade". When he heard this answer, he was naturally confused.
Isn't it better to make it into a decoration?
Be it a jade hu or a jade ruyi, aren't they both objects of low value, relatively speaking?
It must be a failure, right?
As expected.
Murong Yanran muttered to herself again and changed her answer: "Maybe carve a jade paperweight with cloud and dragon patterns..."
After saying that, he glanced at Qin Yuan secretly.
The meaning is self-evident.
Yu Sou nodded seriously: "I understand what the young lady means."
"Just follow the young lady's instructions and cut the stone and see."
Qin Yuan just found it funny.
Is it a jade sceptre, a jade ruyi, or a cloud dragon paperweight?
Which one do you want?
He didn't understand what Murong wanted, so how could you understand it?
Ming Zhanxue knew what Qin Yuan was thinking and didn't want to stay here for long. She took Murong Yanran's arm and said with a smile, "Sister, it's time to go. I'm hungry. Let's go back to the mansion and ask him to cook for us."
"This..." Murong Yanran was a little hesitant.
"What is this, sister? I am still capable of being the master of the Qin Mansion."
After saying that, Jiaojiao glared at Qin Yuan.
It's as if to say, look at what you have done, you have ruined a good girl like this.
Qin Yuan: I feel wronged...
Not long after the three of them left, Murong Yanran suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask, "Grandpa, when can I come to see you jade?"
The old man was getting his tools to break the stone and get the jade. Upon hearing this, he looked up and smiled, "When fate has come, it will come. Young lady, you will know it yourself."
Hearing this, the vendor not far away sneered and cursed, as if chanting some kind of spell -
"Don't worry, sister."
Ming Zhanxue took her hand and walked forward, persuading her, "This old man will give you a bracelet and a ring in three days. I'll ask for you then."
"I just don't know, sister, who are you going to give this jade scepter and cloud dragon paperweight to?"
"Don't let outsiders get away with it."
Murong Yanran's cheeks flushed with amusement. She shrank her neck and explained, "Sister, I guessed this based on the shape of the stalagmite."
"It's not for giving to others..."
This statement sounded rather guilty and lacked confidence.
Then, he changed the subject and chuckled, "Maybe it's just a piece of scrap. There's not even a grain of jade in it, let alone a jade scepter or a cloud dragon paperweight."
Ming Zhanxue smiled and said, "My sister is very smart and has a good eye. She has helped me to buy a set of jewelry."
"Then the material my sister chose must be the most valuable material on the stall. How could it be waste?"
Qin Yuan doesn't know anything about gambling on stones, but based on his years of experience reading novels, he can analyze that the more inconspicuous the stall of this kind of hermit master is, the better the things must be. After all, they are opportunities reserved specifically for the protagonist!
And seeing that Murong Yanran carefully selected for a long time, and was extremely decisive when making the choice, it was obvious that she had a plan in mind.
But I didn't expect——
Murong Yanran shrugged and smiled spiritedly: "To be honest, sister, I chose the only stone that has nothing to show."
"The other stones on this old man's stall are all top-quality materials. I have a rough idea of their textures and trends."
“But there’s only this one piece that I can’t understand.”
"I'm guessing this old man is some kind of hermit. He definitely wouldn't put a fake item on this stall. The more inconspicuous the item, the more rare and precious it is."
