I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times Chapter 178

 The most important thing when coming here is to hand over the talisman to Mr. Dong.

With the matter finished, Han Yao got up and left the private room without any regret.

　　Even though Mrs. Dong was reluctant to leave and had many things to say to her, she knew that she would not stay much longer.

He reluctantly watched her walk out of the private room, and took a long time to look back.

 Looking down at the banknote in his hand, he felt bitterness in his heart again.

For her, a mere two hundred taels were spent, but Han Yao had to go and choose jadeite for Princess Dingyuan herself.

 The difference between the two is really big.

  What can be done?

　　It was her own choice in the first place, and she cannot regret it.

 She did nothing wrong. If Yao'er had followed her, he would suffer in Ling Mansion just like Qing'er.

How can I still live a noble life in Dingyuan Prince's Mansion, and now I have been made the county head by the emperor.

Yaoer's life will not be bad in the future, she will only get better and better.

 It was Qing'er who suffered along with her.

 She had to think of a way to find a future for Qing'er.

Wait until they are all married before supporting Haoer.

In the future, when the eldest son becomes an official, he can apply for a royal title for his mother.

　In order not to regret it, Dong could only try his best to look forward.

Xia Zhi drove a carriage to Fuyuan Street. Initially, she didn't know why her girl came here. It wasn't until Ling Chu took her and Liu Xiangju into the Jade Pavilion that she knew she was here to buy jade.

 Cuiyu Pavilion was opened by Liu Gui, Liu Gonggong's nephew.

After Ling Chu entered the store with two maids, a waiter immediately came to greet him.

Hearing that Ling Chu wanted to buy jadeite, the boy took them into the backyard.

This Jade Pavilion is a small building with two floors. It mainly sells various head and face jewelry made of jade.

The jewelry on the lower floor is all mid- to low-end, while the jewelry on the upper floor is high-quality.

  The jadeite stones are all placed in the backyard.

Lingchu was a little surprised when he saw the piles of rough stones in the yard. There were hundreds of large and small stones.

Lingchu was surprised, but when she saw a Taoist nun and two maids walking in, those who were selecting rough stones were even more surprised than she was.

Did this Taoist nun go to the wrong place?

Just as he was surprised, Liu Gui and the shopkeeper, the owner of Cuiyu Pavilion, were walking out of a room inside.

Seeing Ling Chu in Taoist robes, both of them were stunned.

But Liu Gui quickly remembered what his uncle had told him, and hurriedly walked over with a smile on his face.

“Excuse me, are you Ling Xiangu?”

Ling Chu nodded, seeing that his face was somewhat similar to Eunuch Liu, and guessed his identity, "But Mr. Liu's family?"

Thinking of this Taoist nun's ability, Liu Gui's smile became even brighter, “I'm just here, I wonder if the Taoist nun wants to buy raw jadeite?”

  “Exactly.”

“I don't know what price Xian Gu wants. I can introduce it to you.”

 “No hurry, I'll take a look first.”

"That's all right, you can look at it as you like, and if you need anything, just give me orders."

 After listening to the conversation between the two, everyone present looked surprised.

They have seen the Taoist nun's fortune telling before, but this is their first time seeing the Taoist nun buying raw jadeite. They were also surprised by Liu Dong's attitude.

 They knew that Dong Liu's family relied on Eunuch Liu's power, and most people could not get into his eyes.

I didn't expect that his attitude towards the Taoist nun would be so respectful today.

Although Lingchu noticed their surprised looks, he didn't pay attention.

 She was looking down at the rough stones carefully.

Although Liu Dongjia did not follow her, he called a young man to come and stand by. If Ling Chu didn't understand something, he would explain it to her in a low voice.

 These rough stones are divided into several piles. Some price based on weight, while others sell by the piece.

 Others are distinguished by the mine site, the various qualities, color, transparency, texture, size and shape of the rough stone surface, etc.

 Hence, the price of jadeite rough stones ranges widely, from a few taels to tens of thousands of taels.

Ling Chu didn't have much money on hand, so he had to use every penny wisely.

 She couldn't afford the high-priced ones, so she could only buy the highest-quality rough stones at the lowest price.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for gods to break jade. The surface of these rough stones does not look much different from ordinary stones.

It is really impossible to tell whether there is jade inside with the naked eye.

In order not to waste money, Ling Chu still opened the system and scanned it.

With so many rough stones, she did not scan them all.

 Lingchu started with the ones with the lowest prices.

She didn't look at those that cost tens of thousands of taels. She couldn't afford them anyway.

As he was scanning the system, he suddenly heard a dissatisfied voice coming from behind, "Dong Liu's family, why can cats and dogs come in so easily in Cuiyu Pavilion now?"

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads and saw a luxuriously dressed girl walking over with her maid.

The girl's face was sullen, and her eyes glanced at the Taoist nun intentionally or unintentionally.

When Liu Dongjia saw the person coming, he hurriedly came forward with a smile on his face, "I told you why you heard the cry of magpies early this morning. It turns out that there are distinguished guests coming. Whatever Miss Han wants today, you can see and pick whatever you want. , we will definitely give you the best price.”

As soon as Liu Dongjia finished speaking, the maid immediately said with a proud look on her face, "Our girl is now the head of Wen'an County, and the emperor just named her a few days ago."

Liu Dongjia was stunned for a moment, then put on a smile, "I'm sorry, it turns out that the emperor has given the girl the title of County Lord. Congratulations to the County Lord, congratulations to the County Lord," and then turned to the shopkeeper beside him, "Go and get that new weapon quickly. Bring the engraved plum blossom hosta as a gift to the county chief."

Several men picking out jade stones were all businessmen, and one of them was Zhao Xinxiang, the owner of Yongfu Xiang Gold Store.

Zhao Dongjia recognized this person as the eldest daughter of Prince Dingyuan. Hearing that she had been granted the title of County Lord, they came over to congratulate her.

Several other men who were selecting jade saw him going over to congratulate him, and they also gathered around him.

Han Yao looked reserved on her face in response to these compliments, but she was both proud and disdainful in her heart.

 It turns out he is the county lord, no wonder he is so arrogant.

Ling Chu glanced at the county master who was holding the moon in front of the stars, then quickly looked away and continued to scan the jadeite stones.

Han Yao glanced around the Taoist robe, and finally landed on the face, and her heart tightened.

 She actually saw the shadows of her father and mother on the Taoist nun's face.

 Could it be that this Taoist nun is actually the disaster star?

Didn't you say that you have been suffering from poor bones since you were a child, and that you were seriously ill and about to die not long ago? She originally thought that the Taoist temple was poor and the disaster star must have been no different from a village girl since she had grown up there.

Unexpectedly, the other party had a graceful appearance, and that face brought together the best qualities of his father and mother.

Han Yao's long nails pinched hard in her palms.

No matter how good-looking she is, it doesn't matter. The Ling family has been defeated and is now just a low-status disaster star. She is now the county head.

She is a noble lady that she cannot reach even if she raises her head or puts her toes up!

Ling Chu, who was concentrating on scanning, suddenly felt a chill running down his back.

 She was being targeted.

Every month at the end of the month, I see the list falling down one after another, and I feel very anxious. It's too difficult for me and I don't know how to move up.
