The old monkey pulled Liu Jing aside and said, "If you really want to bet with her, I can tell you that you are doomed to lose. Her stone will have an 80% chance of turning out green. She must have brought it from the Jiang family. And if the Jiang family accepts the raw stone, the chances of the bet going up are very high."
"I know."
Liu Jing pouted, "But she insisted on betting with me. If I didn't bet, she would pester me. I still want to have fun for a few days and then go home."
"But you will lose."
The old monkey poked Liu Liang's forehead rudely. He was not trying to criticize her or remind her, he was just telling her the result.
"Lose?"
"If I lose, I lose," Liu Liang didn't care at all.
"Men's knees are made of gold, but I don't. I just kowtowed." She said nonchalantly, "Look at those people in the Qing Dynasty. They would kneel down without being persuaded."
"Then you can't kneel down to others. It's so embarrassing."
The old monkey was almost disappointed with Liu Liang. This man knelt to his parents, to heaven and earth, to his teacher, to his elders, and to others. What was this all about?
"It's okay," Liu Liang waved her hand, "As long as I don't lose money, I can afford to lose."
"Besides," she tapped her chin, "maybe I can still win."
"Win nothing!"
The old monkey couldn't help but curse, "You are doomed to lose."
"But everyone should always have dreams. Maybe I will really win."
"If you win, I'll give you her stone."
Liu Liang said generously, but the old monkey rolled his eyes and turned away.
"Old Monkey," Liu Liang pulled Old Monkey's sleeve.
The old monkey refused.
"Grandpa Monkey..."
Now her mouth is even sweeter.
"Where are you going? You have to give me courage. What if I win and she refuses to pay me?"
The old monkey raised his head and looked at the sky in silence.
"I'll find you a futon."
"What are you looking for Putuan for?"
Liu Liang didn't understand. Shouldn't she ask someone to come and support her, and even better, bring flowers and wave them from time to time?
"For your kneeling."
The old monkey moved very quickly and actually took out a cushion from the house. He also hoped that there would be fewer people here and Liu Liang would not lose so badly.
However, he felt that it was not shameful for Liu Liang to lose to the one from the Jiang family.
After all, she was just a rookie whose hair had not yet fully grown, so it was normal for her to lose to someone who had decades of experience in gambling on stones.
But he still felt uncomfortable in his heart, and really felt that the Jiang family was too bullying.
Gambling should be fair. It is a bit bullying to gamble with stones that have a high chance of increasing in value.
But he couldn't say anything. Although it was a bit unfair, it was not an unprecedented thing. As long as both parties were willing, it was none of other people's business.
He was relieved to see that there weren't many people here today. Fortunately, the child's face could be saved.
As a result, he really underestimated Jiang Ya. Jiang Ya had finally found an opportunity, so how could he let it go? When the old monkey found that a lot of people suddenly came to his gambling stone shop, he secretly said in his heart that something was wrong.
Although it was just a small bet, people all loved to watch the fun. Besides, the Jiang family was a wealthy family here. They all wanted to know what kind of good things could be cut out of the piece of stone in Jiang Ya's hand.
The more people the old monkey saw, the more painful his head became.
He quickly pulled Liu Jing aside and said, "I have a good piece of information. How about you take it and gamble with it?"
To be honest, Liu Liang was very touched. People are only interested in profit. In fact, she and Lao Hou were just casual acquaintances, but he was willing to help her like this. There was no benefit or intention, he just wanted to help her.
"No need," Liu Jing waved her hand nonchalantly. "I don't know if her stone is good or bad, but it's better than mine, so I have to take your stone. I can't let her take it for free."
"So you want to gamble with that stone?"
The old monkey was really worried for Liu Liang. Don't underestimate the small stakes, but this is a matter of lifelong honor and disgrace, not a trivial matter. Sometimes these things can affect a person's character for life.
This girl has a good personality, and he really can't bear it.
Liu Liang thought for a moment, then pointed to a stone pillar on the side.
"Use that."
"At worst, I can let her sit on it and I'll buy another one."
Lao Hou felt that Liu Liang was just throwing in the towel. Since she was going to lose anyway, she might as well lose the cheapest way.
"I'll go get one."
Liu Jing happily went to hug the stone pillar, which made the old monkey shake his head. He said that he could still laugh now, but he really hoped that he would not cry later.
Liu Liang picked up one easily and ran to the old monkey. This is it. This is the biggest one. It is so big that there is probably a piece of jade hidden in its belly.
The old monkey stopped talking. There was nothing he could do as the child was too naive.
"Have you made your choice?"
Jiang Ya walked over, unable to wait to reap the fruits of his victory.
"Okay," Liu Liang pointed to the stone block on the table.
The smile on Jiang Ya's lips became brighter.
"It seems you've given up."
"I won't admit defeat," Liu Jing didn't look like she was admitting defeat at all, "I will only lose the bet." Admitting defeat and losing the bet are two completely different concepts. Even if she loses, she will lose by betting, not admitting defeat.
"I'm surprised at your nerve."
Jiang Ya couldn't stop smiling.
"I'm also honored to be your source of laughter for a year or more."
Liu Liang doesn't care about making others laugh. He who laughs to the end is truly laughing. If you can laugh now, then laugh well, as long as you don't be unable to cry in the future.
Alas, the evils sent by heaven can be forgiven, but the evils brought by oneself cannot be forgiven.
At this time, more and more people came to the stone gambling shop, even people from the Jiang family came. Although the Jiang family was not very satisfied that Jiang Ya was using this stone to gamble with others, they were very willing to witness the moment when the stone was opened.
How shocking and brilliant it will be.
After drawing the lines, the old monkey cut the stone himself.
As the sizzling sound sounded, people's hearts could not help but rise to their throats.
After cutting it, the old monkey splashed some water on it and wiped it with a cloth. He closed his eyes. Although he knew this would be the result, he was still scared.
He could guess that if this stone turned out green, the water quality must be very high, but he did not expect it to be so good.
"But it's green?"
Someone couldn't help but ask why he didn't speak for so long, could it be that he had lost money due to gambling.
The old monkey stood up, holding the stone in his hand, and showed it to everyone.
There was a loud bang, and I didn't know who screamed.
"Yellow jade, it's actually yellow jade, and it's yellow jade with gold threads, and the quality is not low, it's already ice-quality!"
Yellow jade is as bright as the sun and as brilliant as gold. It is synonymous with light and wealth, and ranks first among the five traditional colors. It is a rare imperial color. If it is yellow jade of good quality, most people would find it difficult to give it up.
