When crossing encounters rebirth

Early in the morning of this day, a group of people surrounded Gu Qing's jade shop, pointing and pointing.

Among them, apart from some rich sons and daughters of officials, they even attracted some ordinary people.Everyone watched inexplicably as the buddies in the jade shop hurried in and out, moving out stones of different shapes, sizes and colors, and stacking them at the door of the shop.

Each pile of stones is about ten pieces, and in front of them is a sign with the amount written on it.They range from ten taels to ten thousand taels respectively.

"What is this for?"

"Who knew, the cheapest of these broken stones would sell for ten taels of silver? Are you crazy about money?!"

"Shhh... I heard that this store is opened by Mrs. Xiu Wang, please keep your voice down!"

From time to time, there were such discussions among the crowd, and everyone was obviously very curious about what Gu Qing was up to.

And the ones standing on the innermost side, that is, the ones closest to these woolen materials, are the sons and daughters that Gu Qing invited in advance, and this group of people also had blank expressions on their faces.On the post that Gu Qing gave them, it only said that there was an event held in Yujixuan today, and they wanted to show their respect.It didn't explain what the event was, so everyone looked at each other in a daze.

"General Helian, what do you think this Prince Xiu is trying to do?" On such an occasion, Gu Qing would naturally not forget that Heliancheng was taken advantage of.When posting the invitation, the first thing he thought of was Helian Cheng's name.

At this moment besides He Lianjia, there was also a handsome man in the same gorgeous attire standing beside him.

Looking at the reputation, Gu Qing has a little impression of this man, he seems to be the son of Qin Fan, the servant of the household department, what is his name Qin? !

He Liancheng still looked like that, waving a paper fan. If there was no reminder from others, Gu Qing would definitely not associate him with Na Helian Lv.

Could it be that this Heliancheng is not Helianlu's biological son? !The more Gu Qing thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.

"I don't know, just read on." He Liancheng smiled at Gu Qing, "I think Mrs. Xiu Wang must have discovered something interesting, thinking that it is better to be alone than to be happy together, so that's why Did you invite everyone here?"

Helian Cheng's words drew echoes.Those wealthy sons and official daughters who were secretly wondering what kind of medicine Gu Qing was selling in the gourd before, now that they heard what Helian Cheng said, they all asked directly.

"Wang Fu, what are these stones for?" A young master asked.

"You invited us here to see the stones, right?" Another lady next to her took the conversation.

Then Qin Fan's son also asked, "Mr. Xiu, what's the difference between these stones? Don't be fooled, tell everyone! We've all been waiting for so long."

"Yes!"

"That's right, tell me!"

After Qian Qian whispered a few words in Gu Qing's ear, Gu Qing nodded.Then he raised his hand and made a silent movement. The group of people at the scene were young masters and ladies from rich families after all, and generally they should have a lot of self-cultivation.Seeing that Gu Qing was about to speak now, he naturally cooperated and quieted down.

Gu Qing raised his voice so that more people could hear what he said next.The reason why he made such a big battle today is that what he wants is an effect, a momentum!

"I think everyone is very curious about the pile of stones in front of you?" Gu Qing asked the people around him, and then started a science knowledge, "Actually, these are not ordinary stones. Everyone saw the stones in my store. These jades, they are actually mined from these stones."

Gu Qing learned from Feng Hanxiu that there were no emerald veins in Nanfeng before, and the raw materials of these jade products that are currently circulating in the market are basically from Dongling.Nanfeng mostly used things made of gold and silver, while jade, generally speaking, could only be a luxury for wealthy families.

It was because of the news provided by Feng Hanxiu that Gu Qing turned his mind to betting on stones.

"Of course, not all wool materials will have jade in them. There are also some that are basically a piece of waste. It all depends on your luck and experience to judge. I call this gambling stone!" Gu Qing probably He announced the method and rules of betting stones, then pointed to the pile of wool in front of him and said: "The wool that you see in front of you are all directly transported after mining. As for judging the inside by the appearance of the wool, Is there a method of emerald, I think everyone has already got it?"

As early as when Gu Qing started to speak, he ordered Qian to distribute the materials he compiled to judge the quality of wool.When he had this plan at the beginning, he was questioned by Feng Hanxiu and Feng Hanyi, saying that if this is the case, wouldn't everyone know how to judge?

It's just that stone gambling is not so simple. If only the two pages of waste paper he wrote can create a master stone gambling, then there will not be so many people in the 21st century who will go bankrupt because of stone gambling.

What Gu Qing wants is for everyone to know how to gamble with this stone.Let them believe that judging according to the information he sent, it is very likely that they will come up with good materials.What I want is to arouse the greed in people's hearts.

As Gu Qing's voice fell, many people looked down at the documents in their hands.Of course, the distributing of these materials requires a reasonable amount of money, and they are mainly fighting against the second-generation rich and second-generation officials.Ordinary common people, Gu Qing couldn't bear to earn their money.Besides, they can't afford money to play this game.

"I see it. I just don't know what is written on this list?" The rich man who was shouting at the beginning shook the paper in his hand and asked Gu Qing.

Gu Qing was not in a hurry, he clapped his hands, and Qian Qian immediately greeted the clerk in the store, and moved out a piece of wool the size of a human head.

Gu Qing put this piece of wool directly on the ground, then pointed to the pine flower python belt on it, and began to explain it to them in detail.

Everyone listened very carefully to these novel gadgets.Occasionally someone interrupted to ask questions, but Gu Qing was not angry, but patiently explained.

These people are his future parents. He is not afraid of these people asking questions, but he is afraid that they will not ask questions.If you are interested, you will have problems.The more you think you know, the more you will fall into it.

Gu Qing happened to have grasped their novelty-seeking mentality and made use of it.

Gu Qing spoke very carefully, and everyone listened very carefully.For the convenience of explaining, Gu Qing ordered Qian to put the wool on the ground before, so now he is also squatting on the ground to explain.But among this group of people, those official daughters are worth it, more or less girls and children are not interested in these things, and they prefer those exquisitely carved finished jade.

But the rest of the rich young masters, Wang Sun Guixu, were fascinated by what he heard, and they all followed Gu Qing to a halt for a while, staring closely at the stone in his hand, with great interest.

"After talking for a long time, it means that there must be jade in this stone?" The man was the first to speak.Gu Qing learned from the people next to him that his father was the magistrate of Yanjing.Being a magistrate at the foot of the imperial city, I don't have a lot of brushes, but I can't sit in this position.

Immediately smiled and said: "Young Master Zhou is absolutely right. There may be jade in any piece of wool, or there may not be. The reason why there is a word "gambling" in it is because of this uncertainty."

"To put it simply, if there are cracks in the material with a good appearance, or the jade has been defeated and cannot reach the price you bought, then it is considered a lost bet. Price, then the bet is won."

Gu Qing immediately rolled up his sleeves and ordered Qian Qian to take out the tools that he had already equipped. What he has to do now is to use calcite to verify his statement.

Although he is not 100% sure about this, but in the face of these half-knowledgeable ancients, even if he loses the bet, Gu Qing still has a way to justify himself.

"Having said so much, everyone must be wondering whether what I said is true or not, why don't I demonstrate it to everyone right now?"

"That's a good relationship, I'll thank Mrs. Wang!" Mr. Zhou immediately responded.

"I'm also interested in seeing how this calculus is explained!" Although He Liancheng hadn't said anything before, Gu Qing knew that he was listening most carefully.It seems that this stone betting has aroused Helian Cheng's interest.

After Gu Qing was ready, he smiled at Helian Cheng, "General Helian, then take a closer look." Then he sat down in front of the piece of wool.

At this moment, the woolen material has been moved aside by the guys in the store, Gu Qing carefully observed the woolen material again.This material was selected by him a few days ago.He was half sure that there should be emeralds inside.This is a piece of pineapple skin. If he is not too lucky, the ones that come out are at least made of glass.

Just to be on the safe side, Gu Qing decided to open a skylight to have a look.

Along the edge of the python belt, he carefully knocked off a piece with a small chisel and hammer, and then began to rub the stone.He is very patient, having learned jade carving for so many years, what Gu Qing lacks most when dealing with jade and emerald is patience.

Generally speaking, the python follows the green, and the pine flowers grow green, and the place Gu Qing chose is a place that is very likely to grow green.So he didn't dare to make big cuts at all, he could only try a little bit.

With the friction of the grinding wheel, white lime rose up one after another, and the people around couldn't help covering their mouths and noses.Only Gu Qing still lowered his head and focused on the stone in his hand.That little bit of dust didn't shake him at all.

When Feng Hanxiu and Feng Hanyi arrived, they saw such a scene.Qian Qian was about to salute, but was stopped by Feng Hanxiu.The two just quietly found a corner to watch, and did not attract the attention of other people.

"Unexpectedly, Qingqing has this ability." Feng Hanyi sighed when he saw Gu Qing's skillful movements.

Feng Hanxiu put on a smile, looked at the busy little figure surrounded by everyone and said: "He is like a huge treasure, every time I thought I knew him well, he It always surprises me.”

"Xiu, it seems that you like him very much?" When the two brothers got together during this period, all they talked about was about the Helian family.It's rare to have time to chat about these things.

"En." Feng Hanxiu responded softly, looking at Gu Qing tenderly.

"This is for you." Feng Hanyi suddenly took out a small bottle from his bosom, and handed it to Feng Hanxiu, "I almost forgot, Jing Yan asked me to give it to you."

"What is this?" Feng Hanxiu took the bottle and looked at Feng Hanyi strangely, "Is there something Jing Yan needs you to give me?"

"Cough cough!" A rare embarrassment appeared on Feng Hanyi's elegant face, he cleared his throat and said, "This is a plaster I specially entrusted someone to make up, Jing Yan saw that day...cough...in short , Qingqing is still young, you should take it easy."

How clever Feng Hanxiu was, he immediately realized what was in the bottle in his hand, and the expression on his face was extremely exciting.

Seeing him holding the bottle in a daze, Feng Hanyi immediately urged, "Hurry up and put it away, just use a little at a time. Qingqing is still young after all, you can... easily hurt him like that!" If it wasn't for Jing Yan With his orders in hand, Feng Hanyi really didn't want to discuss such matters with his own brother in the street.

It's just that he had put this ointment on his body for several days, but he kept forgetting to give it to Feng Hanxiu.Now that he has taken it out, as the elder brother, it is inevitable that he still has to give a few words of advice.

"I don't need this thing yet! You...you can take it back anyway!" Feng Hanxiu threw the bottle towards Feng Hanyi as if holding a hot potato in his hand.

"!!!" After flustered for a while, Feng Hanyi caught the bottle, glared at Feng Hanxiu angrily, and then forcibly stuffed the small bottle back into his hand, "Take it if you tell me to hold it!" Go!"

"Ah! Look, look!"

"Is that the emerald that Mr. Xiu said?"

"I didn't expect these beautiful jades to actually grow in stones!"

"It's so beautiful! I don't know how big this jade is!"

Just when Feng Hanxiu wanted to refuse, he suddenly heard various exclamations from the crowd in front.

"Go and have a look." Feng Hanyi didn't wait for him, and walked straight ahead.

Feng Hanxiu glanced at the bottle in his hand, his eyes flickered slightly, and finally put the small bottle carefully in his arms, and followed.

Gu Qing looked at the little bit of crystal green in front of his eyes, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.I poured some water on it, reflecting the sunlight, the greenery looked more crystal clear.

Although the entire emerald is still under the stone wrapping, but this little bit of greenery, against the backdrop of the gray and white stone, is like a bud that just broke out of the ground, clean, transparent, pure and flawless.In such a contrast, everyone even felt that this little bit of greenery looked more beautiful than the finished products displayed in his shop.

"This... is this glass floor?" The voice was mixed with uncertainty, but also with a hint of surprise.

Hearing this, Gu Qing looked up, and it turned out to be Helian Cheng who was repeatedly comparing his materials.Immediately smiled, nodded and said: "It is indeed a glass floor!"

He Liancheng still wanted to speak, but saw Gu Qing lowered his head and continued to study the stone.Those focused eyes and serious demeanor made the people talking around quiet down, lest they disturb Gu Qing.

Because it is a glass floor, and the size of this piece of wool itself is not large, Gu Qing did not dare to remove the skin wantonly, and could only do it manually with a grinding wheel.

It's just that no one made any more impatient voices at this moment, and it was the first time they had seen the process of dissolving stones.Seeing the green color being released little by little, this feeling is like lifting the veil of a beautiful woman little by little, full of a strange temptation.

In the following time, due to physical problems, Gu Qing rested several times, and finally carefully pulled out the emerald from the rough stone under the expectant eyes of everyone.

After drenched in water, under the sunlight, a piece of crystal-clear jade about the size of a football was finally displayed in front of people, flaunting its beauty without hesitation.

The jadeite in this piece of glass has a very uniform color distribution, and the overall light transmittance is also very good. All in all, it is a rare and good material.

Gu Qing wiped the sweat from his head, lifted the jade carefully, and said: "Everyone saw it just now, this is a gambling stone. I'm afraid I don't need to remind everyone present of the value of this jade." Right? Out of the 3 taels of rough stone, this piece of material, according to its size, can definitely be sold for 5 to [-] taels." Gu Qing saw the eagerness in the eyes of several people, and knew The desired effect has been achieved.Just to avoid unnecessary trouble, he thinks it's better to say some things first.

"Of course, no one can guarantee that jadeite will be found in this wool. Even if it is found, it may not be as good as the one in my hand. It all depends on everyone to judge for themselves."

As soon as the words fell, he saw that the expressions on everyone's faces were different, some who were a little more rational were still suspicious.But some impulses, such as the magistrate, only fanaticism remained on their faces.

Gu Qing felt that he could add more fire, so he said: "If the materials you sell contain jadeite, our store promises that as long as the woolen materials sold by Yujixuan, once the jadeite above the ice species is produced, I will give it to you for free. It tailors a set of accessories."

As soon as Gu Qing said this, there was an uproar immediately.You know, after the opening of Yujixuan, Gu Qing's banner is tailor-made.And for Gu Qing to make a set of accessories for him, not only money, but also face!

After all, he bears the title of Mr. Cultivator, so it's not just a cat or a dog who can ask Gu Qing to make things for them.Therefore, in private, some people also started an auction for this production quota.

Of course, Gu Qing and Feng Hanxiu signaled their subordinates to do this.The two of them made the most of the term "exotic goods to live in"!

"Not only that, but if you don't want to make jewelry with the stones offered by you, our shop is also willing to buy them at market prices. So you don't have to worry about the situation that you have too many jadeites in your hands, but you can't exchange them for silver. !" When Gu Qing spoke, he had already handed over the jade in his hand to the money to take it away and put it away.

"What a cunning little fox." Feng Hanyi immediately laughed after hearing Gu Qing's words.

Feng Hanxiu naturally understood what he said, but said indifferently: "If he hadn't been smart, the two of us would really be impoverished princes now!"

There are two traps in Gu Qing's words.One is to let everyone have an illusion that as long as they gamble on stones, they can accumulate a large amount of emeralds.The second is that when they want to sell jadeite, the first thing they think of is Yujixuan.

After the original ore veins were mined, they had to bear the scrapped materials in the calcite.But after Gu Qing made such a move, Feng Hanxiu suddenly felt like turning waste into treasure.

Because Gu Qing had carefully analyzed it with him, even he couldn't guarantee that he could find good wool every time.I can't guarantee that there must be jade in it.So this stone betting is actually a business with no loss, at least for them, it is true!

Seeing that the "momentum" he wanted has come out, Gu Qing secretly gestured towards the money, and then said loudly to the crowd: "Next, I don't know if there is any friend who dares to come and bet on this Where are the stones?"
