Chapter 444: Gambling on Stones
Nan Yan said to Zhu Feng, "Your Majesty, I will leave first."
After saying that, he bowed and left happily.
After she walked away, Ye Zheng turned around and said to Zhu Feng with a smile: "Your Majesty, people like Si Nuguan are very good. They don't spend men's money."
“…”
Zhu Feng frowned and glared at him.
On the other side, Nan Yan went back and called Ran Xiaoyu, and the two went shopping together.
Although the wind and snow were very strong, there were still many people on the street.
Nan Yan specially went out to buy a bunch of bright red candied haws and held it up happily. Ran Xiaoyu couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Why are you acting like a child?"
Nan Yan laughed.
As we were talking and laughing, there was a noise coming from the front.
At a glance, I saw that a lot of people had gathered on the street ahead, which was already crowded. Everyone gathered together, as if watching something exciting.
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Let's go and take a look."
The two men ran over.
There were a lot of people here, three layers inside and three layers outside. Fortunately, Ran Xiaoyu was strong and Nan Yan was smart, so they squeezed in in a short while. When they looked, they found that a shop had opened.
The shop was large, but displayed very few things. There were only wooden shelves on both sides of the walls, but there were no goods on them.
But, stone.
Could it be that he is selling stones?
A chubby middle-aged man sat in the shop with a table in front of him. He said to the people outside, "Come on, come on, everyone who wants to bet, hurry up."
Bet? What?
Nan Yan curiously leaned over to take a look, only to see his waiter take three stones from the wooden shelf and place them on the table in front of him.
The middle-aged man smiled at the restless crowd in front of him and said, "Everyone knows the rules of our Treasure Pavilion. Among these three stones, there is guaranteed to be one that is jade."
“…”
"One hundred taels of silver are used for a single bet, and only one stone can be opened."
“…”
"If you bet right, you can exchange it for 500 taels of silver directly."
“…”
"If you bet wrong, you won't be compensated."
“…”
"If you bet on the wrong thing, we can open the remaining two pieces of jade. If all three pieces are not jade, we will also compensate you with 500 taels!"
Hearing the shocking amounts he said, Nan Yan's eyes widened in shock.
Is that stone so valuable?
On the other hand, Ran Xiaoyu, who was standing aside, had a serious expression on her face as she stared at the three stones.
"I'll do it!"
At this time, a young man walked out of the crowd. He looked ordinary in clothes, but his arms were bulging with money. When he took it out, it turned out to be a purse filled with silver and banknotes.
Someone in the crowd said, "Mr. Lu, this money is from selling your house. Do you really want to gamble?"
The young man said nothing, but handed over the silver.
The middle-aged man checked the silver he had brought with him, then smiled and said, "Okay, which stone would you like to choose?"
The young man was sweating profusely, his red eyes staring at the three stones.
Someone nearby kept giving advice: "The one on the left."
"Right, right!"
"middle!"
The young man breathed heavily. He stared at the three stones for a long time, then suddenly pointed at the one on the far left: "This one!"
At this time, Ran Xiaoyu beside him sighed softly.
Nan Yan turned her head and looked at her, and Ran Xiaoyu shook her head gently at her.
Nan Yan frowned and turned to look into the shop. She saw the waiter took out a special tool and slowly cut the stone chosen by the young man.
There was a crackling sound, accompanied by water droplets and stone powder spraying into the air.
The stone was cut open.
