Chapter 195 All by Feeling
Fu Zhaoning's words made Fu Er and Fu San's faces turn pale and blue.
Under the mocking gazes of everyone, they could not stay there any longer. They glared at Fu Zhaoning fiercely and ran away in a hurry in embarrassment.
When they left, they looked back at the stone, feeling extremely unwilling.
Just like that, twelve hundred taels were gone!
The wife and children are still staying at a nearby farm. They originally thought that the money could be used to pay for their accommodation, meat and vegetables for the next few days. He also wanted to buy a few acres of land nearby.
After selling the Fu family’s house, I will buy more acres.
By then they can also set up a farm here and become the local landlords.
A bad start!
The twelve hundred taels are gone!
After returning, the second and third wives all looked at him eagerly.
"Sold it? How much did Master Gu give?"
The third lady asked anxiously.
"The fourth brother just said something and came up with an idea. He said we could give him less." The second wife also said calculatingly.
"well!"
Fu Er and Fu San looked at each other and both sighed heavily.
After they left, Fu Zhaoning turned to Mr. Gu.
Master Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, having long since stopped looking down on her.
When Fu Zhaoning first came in, he didn't take her seriously. She was just a girl. Although she was extremely beautiful, in many cases, the more beautiful a person was, the more stupid and simple-minded they were.
He has traveled far and wide and has seen many beauties. Of course, he will not lose himself because of the beauty of a young girl.
But when he heard her speaking so sharply to Fu Er and Fu San, and standing straight without any fear, he knew that this girl was no ordinary girl.
Now Master Gu has stopped his neglect and contempt for her.
"Ms. Fu, since this stone belongs to your family, would you like to sell it?"
Fu Zhaoning walked over, Chen Shan and the others stepped back, and she bent down and looked at the stone carefully.
"Ms. Fu, to be honest, this stone is indeed jadeite ore. Before you came over, I offered a price of 1,200 taels. But it's just ore, and we don't know the quality of the jade inside until we cut it open, so the price can't be increased."
Fu Zhaoning waved his hand.
"I'm sorry, because my grandfather still remembers clearly how this stone came from, and he has some thoughts about it, so I don't want to sell it. I'd rather transport it back and put it back where it came from."
In this way, the value of Fu’s house increased instantly.
Even Master Gu couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Miss Fu's house doesn't have jade ore everywhere, does it?"
It has background!
Fu Zhaoning's eyes flashed.
"No, there are some ordinary stones, picked up randomly from the mountains and rivers. They are not minerals."
However, she thought about it carefully and realized that there seemed to be quite a lot of stones at home!
Maybe it's because it's too inconspicuous, and it's scattered in various corners of the garden and around the pavilion, so basically no one pays attention to it and just ignores it.
Mr. Gu still wanted to persuade Fu Zhaoning to sell the stone, but Fu Zhaoning had already asked Chen Shan and others to move the stone back.
He had no choice but to ask Fu Zhaoning if he wanted to buy stones from him for gambling.
"Where is Master Gu's stone? Let's take a look."
Fu Zhaoning became interested.
"They are all in the backyard!" Master Gu was happy and asked a servant to take them to the backyard.
"Master Gu, Master Gu, please look at these stones I took from under the rockery at home!"
Someone brought some stones for Mr. Gu to look at.
Fu Zhaoning was about to enter the backyard when he heard the sound and glanced over and saw the stone.
She didn't know why, but when she saw one of the stones, she couldn't take her eyes away.
"Wait, let's take a look too." Fu Zhaoning pulled Fang Shiqing.
"Look and listen to what Mr. Gu says. Maybe we can learn from it." Fang Dafu also said quickly.
Master Gu looked at the stones carefully, picked out the largest one, squatted down and looked at and touched it carefully.
He just took a look at the piece that Fu Zhaoning had just taken a fancy to and threw it aside without paying any attention to it.
The stone was black and spotted, not very big, rather small, perhaps only the size of her two fists. Among the stones, this one was the smallest, as if someone had just picked it up to make up the number.
But she saw the stone at first sight, and now she couldn't take her eyes off it.
"Where did you get these stones?" Master Gu asked the two young men. They looked well-dressed and seemed to be well-off at home.
"Master Gu, we followed you all the way from Luocheng."
One of the young men said, "We are from Luocheng, and we dug these stones from the border town. We can guarantee that they are all ore, because there is a jade mine there, but we don't have much, so we only got a small part. We have more in Luocheng, but it's too troublesome to transport it here, so we picked a few pieces and brought them over to show Master Gu."
"Yes, yes, yes. If Mr. Gu likes these pieces and gives a good price, we will ship the rest over."
Master Gu took a look.
"Well, this one has loose flowers on the surface. This one has the unique characteristics of jadeite mines. It looks like ore."
"We really didn't lie to Master Gu."
"This piece looks like sand leather, but it looks like it may have cracks. As you know, if there are cracks in jade, it has no value and can't be carved into anything. So the most I can give for this piece is 100 taels."
"And this one. Although it's big, it has a black skin. See here. It looks like it has black moss. If there is black moss in jade, it will be ugly and can't be made into any good-looking jewelry. It can't be sold at a good price. I can only give you 120 taels for this one."
As Master Gu spoke, he pointed out the characteristics of the stone he mentioned to them.
Everyone followed suit and felt that there was some truth to it.
A few pieces of stone only sold for five hundred taels in total.
Although Fang Dafu and the others already felt it was pretty good.
This is the stone. From this perspective, it is a pretty ugly stone. I didn’t expect that a few pieces of it could be sold for five hundred taels.
But the two young men were about to cry.
"We spent a lot of money looking for ore there, and our family almost broke our legs. This is only five hundred taels?"
They would have to pay all their pants for five hundred taels.
"It's pretty good at this price."
Master Gu sighed, "But didn't you say you still have a batch at home? Maybe there are some good ones there. You can ship them over to me and I will invite all the jade merchants to come over. They also need raw jade materials. If they like them, they may offer a high price."
The two young men looked at each other, felt helpless, and agreed with bitter faces.
Seeing that they all seemed to have ignored the small piece, Fu Zhaoning couldn't help but ask,
"What about this one?"
