Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from.
I saw a masked young man holding a folding fan in his hand, wearing a black fox cloak, followed by two followers. It was obvious that he was the son of a wealthy family.
Shang Ruoyi walked forward, pointed at the stone on the ground that was split into two pieces, smiled and said, "Seven hundred taels, are you selling it?" Her attitude was extremely casual, as if she was just asking casually.
The onlookers saw this and hurriedly said, "Hey, young master, you look so young, this must be your first time gambling on stones!"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Yes."
"That's what it looks like. Since this is your first time gambling on stones, go look around for some money. This stone is not available for purchase."
"That's right. Although a piece of the stone has been opened, it's just a small piece and the quality is poor. I'm afraid it can't even be sold for a hundred taels of silver. The young master is obviously a nobody. Don't be fooled."
"How can this broken stone be worth seven hundred taels of silver?"
Everyone tried to persuade her not to buy it.
Shang Ruoyi looked at Zhang Qian mysteriously and nodded, "It turns out it's not even worth a hundred taels of silver! Fortunately, you told me, otherwise I would have suffered a loss."
Zhang Qian was still hesitant at first and didn't want to sell it even for 700 taels of silver, but when he heard everyone say this, his face became darker and darker.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" 놛 waved everyone away and came to Shang Ruoyi: "You just said you were willing to buy 놖's stone for 700 taels, right?"
Shang Ruoyi said with some embarrassment: "놖놙 was just a casual remark."
"Do you understand the rules?" Zhang Qian said, with his hands on his waist, "How can you go back on your word?"
"But your jade is not even worth a hundred taels of silver, and you want to sell it to me for seven hundred taels. I have a lot of silver, but I am not a fool." Shang Ruoyi said disdainfully: "I'll give you a hundred taels, you can sell it if you want."
"No! Seven hundred taels, not a cent." Zhang Qian said angrily: "It's a lot of silver, it's a lot of silver. The gambling stone business has always been like this. How can you just not buy it if you say so?"
At this time, Xiao Xiao, who was following Shang Ruoyi, said, "Sir, you don't know that when buying raw stones, if the seller offers a price and the buyer is willing to sell, then he must pay the money."
"Alas, this young master is really unlucky today. I'm afraid that the seven hundred taels of silver are all wasted."
"Yes! But who told her to make such a rash offer? What a coincidence that Master Zhang is willing to do this losing deal? Hahaha."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm afraid this young man doesn't have the luck to gamble on stones!"
Gambling on jadeite requires great luck. If you don't have luck, you will lose everything even if you are rich. If you are a person with good luck, even the waste materials used for paving the road can produce top-quality jadeite.
Shang Ruoyi sighed: "Forget it, forget it, just admit defeat, and pay the seven hundred taels of silver." She pointed to a piece of raw stone thrown aside: "But you have to give me this cut waste as well."
Zhang Qian looked at the white stone and waved his hand, saying, "Give it to me, give it to me."
A look of triumph flashed across Shang Ruoyi's eyes.
Ah Cheng handed the seven hundred taels of silver to Zhang Qianshou.
In this way, the raw stone completely belonged to her.
At this moment, a burst of laughter came from the crowd: "Wow, the famous Master Lingjun actually spent 700 taels to buy such a junky thing."
Jun Luoyun walked forward surrounded by a group of maids, her eyes full of sarcasm: "Aren't you very eloquent? Why are you so bad at speaking now?"
Shang Ruoyi smiled when she heard this and said, "What does it matter? It's only 700 taels of silver. Since this is the rule, we just have to abide by it."
Jun Luoyun rolled his eyes at her and said, "You are stupid, just admit it."
Just then, Ah Cheng stepped forward and moved the stone over.
Everyone saw him lift such a heavy stone without getting red in the face or breathing hard, and they could tell at a glance that he was a martial artist.
Those who had been laughing at her behind her back for spending money on a piece of junk could not help but shut up.
He was afraid that if he really angered her, he would be beaten by the guards in her hand.
Ah Cheng put the stone in his hand down, and the stone fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. A gust of wind came from somewhere, and the dust blew straight towards Jun Luoyun.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
“Ahem.”
"Damn you, lowly person, are you crazy? How dare you throw stones here!" Jun Luoyun said angrily: "Come here! Drag you to me, I will punish you for disrespect!"
Shang Ruoyi couldn't help laughing when she saw her dusty appearance.
Jun Luoyun's expression became even uglier, and he pointed at Shang Ruoyi: "And them too! Arrest them all!"
Shang Ruoyi said in a cold voice: "Princess Luoyun, you are just the adopted daughter of the Western Region City Palace. This is Beiling, not your Western Region. If you want to act like a monarch, go back to your Western Region."
Jun Luoyun was so angry that he jumped to his feet, wishing he could mute her mouth with his poison. The thought that his poison had no effect on her made her even more crazy.
At this moment, the little girl beside Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Sir, there is still a lot of the raw stone you bought. Do you need me to help you cut it?"
Shang Ruoyi heard this and said indifferently: "Cut it! Just cut it once between the ribs."
“Okay!” With a wave of his hand, several young and strong men came forward and worked together to place the raw stone that Ah Cheng had just moved on the stone-cutting rack.
People couldn't help but gasp when they saw this. It took so many people to lift the stone, and they looked very tired. The guard just now lifted it by himself, which showed how strong his arm strength was.
"Sir, let's cut it off then."
Shang Ruoyi nodded.
Seeing this, people shook their heads.
"Hey, it's just this piece of stone, what else is there to cut?"
"That's right. It's just a piece of scrap. I wouldn't even consider it as a waste if I took it back to pave the road. This young master has been badly cheated."
"It costs one ounce of silver to cut it, but this stone is not even worth one ounce of silver."
Everyone was there to watch the fun, looking at Shang Ruoyi with a little sympathy, and there were also some who gloated over her misfortune.
Zhang Qian and his colleagues originally wanted to leave, but ever since Jun Luoyun came to Wanshizhai, their minds have been on her.
She is the princess of the royal palace in Western Region City. If I marry her, my life will be very successful!
Thinking of this, he raised his feet and walked towards Jun Luoyun.
Seeing Shang Ruoyi suffer a loss, Jun Luoyun couldn't help but feel extremely happy: "This princess would like to take a good look at what extraordinary things you have mined from this broken stone."
Shang Ruoyi turned a deaf ear to her words and just focused on looking at the stones on the shelf.
If she was not mistaken, these two pieces of jade should be very good.
Seeing her like this, Jun Luoyun felt like he had punched cotton, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.
