I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times Chapter 179

Ling Chu suddenly looked back and found that it was the county head who was staring at her.

She frowned. Why did she feel that the county boss was staring at her as if he had a grudge against her?

But she remembered that this was the first time she met the county lord. Since the two were strangers to each other, where could the hatred come from?

I wanted to take a closer look, but the other party had already turned his head and walked aside with the maid, apparently to pick out rough stones.

Unable to figure it out, Ling Chu simply put the matter behind him and continued scanning.

I scanned more than thirty pieces in a row. They were all filled with white stones, and I couldn't see any green at all.

Lingchu couldn't help but smile bitterly. The pile of rough stones she chose was the cheapest in Cuiyu Pavilion, and the largest piece was less than one hundred taels.

It seems that it is not easy to pick out the missing stones from this pile of rough stones.

I don't know if the pile next to it is also filled with white stones?

Ling Chu looked at it again and again. He couldn't help but feel curious and planned to use the system to see what happened.

The pile of rough stones next to her happened to have a few larger ones, so she decided to scan those ones.

The system scans other things, and the speed is always very fast.

Ke Lingchu discovered that scanning these raw jade stones would be much slower.

She scanned three pieces in a row, but no jade was found inside. When she scanned the fourth piece, a refreshing emerald green jumped into her eyes.

Seeing this beautiful color, Ling Chu couldn't help but feel refreshed.

But when she controlled the system to continue scanning, her expression suddenly became stunned.

The emerald green is gone.

Could it be that she was dazzled by looking at it for too long?

But she felt it was impossible.

Blinked, turned the system on again and scanned it again.

When you first catch your eye, it is indeed a very beautiful emerald green, but when you scan the back, it is all white stones.

She was right, this piece of jadeite was actually skin-green.

The so-called skin green means that except for the skin layer which contains jade, the inside is all waste and there is no jade.

Ling Chu shook his head and scanned a few more pieces.

Although the pieces at the back contained emeralds, she suddenly lost interest.

Forget it, it seems that the pile of rough stones next to it is not much better. She might as well continue to scan the ones in front of her, maybe there will be surprises later.

Ling Chu retracted the system and was about to move forward when his feet suddenly tilted.

Fortunately, the two maids were always beside her, and they reached out to help her, so that she did not fall.

After standing firm, Ling Chu looked down and saw that he had accidentally stepped on a small round stone and almost fell down.

He raised his foot and kicked the small stone aside.

But as soon as he finished kicking, Ling Chu was stunned.

She just seemed to see a touch of green from that small stone?

I don't know if I saw it wrong. The stone is not only small, but also gray. Could there be jade in such an ugly stone?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Ling Chu decided to scan it with the system.

【Ding! 】

【A low-level energy stone has been detected, which can help the system repair. 】

Ling Chu was delighted. There was actually jade in this rough stone, which was only slightly larger than his fist.

Although the quality is not high, since it can help repair the system, you can't miss it.

Lingchu stepped forward quickly, picked it up, turned around and asked the boy beside him, "What's the price of this material?"

The young man was stunned. It turned out that he had been looking at the Taoist nun for a long time and never saw her make a purchase. He thought she had come to Cuiyu Pavilion to join in the fun.

He didn't expect that he would take action now. Although the piece of material was pitifully small, he didn't dare to have any objections. After all, his boss had asked him to serve the Taoist nun attentively. “Xiangu, do you want this piece of material?”

Seeing Ling Chu nod, the boy smiled and said, "This piece of material is small, it only costs five taels of silver."

As soon as the young man finished speaking, a sneer came from the side, "A Taoist nun is so poor that she almost goes to beg for food, and she even imitates others in betting on stones."

Lingchu turned his head and saw that the county lord's maid was looking at them with disdain.

Xia Zhi was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and said, "What's wrong with Taoist nun gambling on stones? It didn't cost your family's money."

"My maid is just kind-hearted and worried that you will lose the bet. Although five taels of silver is not much, your fortune telling is only ten or twenty cents, right? It will take you several days to earn these five taels of silver. If you gamble, I must feel very sad if I lose.”

The county owner seems to have good intentions, but the look on her face is as disdainful as her maid.

“Don't worry about it, Lord County, I haven't even seen it yet, just a few taels of silver.”

Lingchu replied quietly, turned around and continued scanning.

She didn't know why the county lord was so hostile to her, but she didn't bother to pay more attention.

Having that time to compete for verbal advantage, it is better to scan a few more rough stones.

Han Yao snorted in her heart. She could tell at a glance that Disaster Star's method of selecting rough stones didn't understand stone gambling.

But it's useless even if she knows how to choose. The Ling Mansion has been defeated, and she can't afford any money to buy good materials.

Moreover, the pile of rough stones is all waste material screened out by the Jade Pavilion after many layers of selection. It is almost impossible to have jade in it.

It is best to buy more, and when you cut it open later and find that there is no jade, it is best to lose everything.

Lingchu scanned the pile of rough stones in front of him and finally picked out five pieces of different sizes.

These have jade in them, and the quality is pretty good.

But after thinking about it, in order to avoid others being suspicious, Ling Chu took two more pieces without jade and put them together. Together with the piece that his sprained foot stepped on in the first place, there were eight pieces in total.

Liu Dongjia has been paying close attention to Ling Chu secretly. Seeing that she had already picked something, he hurriedly came over with the shopkeeper.

　　After fiddling with the abacus a few times, the shopkeeper quickly calculated the price.

Liu Dongjia glanced at the numbers on the abacus and said with a smile, "Ling Xiangu, the total is four hundred and six taels. If you bought more, I will wipe out the change for you. Just give me four hundred taels."

Lingchu nodded in agreement and just signaled Xia Zhi to give the banknote to Liu Dong's family.

Unexpectedly, the county head suddenly said, "Ling Xiangu, are you the eldest granddaughter of the former Minister of Household Affairs?

Your Ling Mansion is different from the past. I advise you to think twice. Betting on stones is no joke. If there is no jade in it, the four hundred taels will be in vain. "

Liu Dongjia's smile froze, and he actually ruined his business in front of him. If this was not a girl from Dingyuan Prince's Palace, but an ordinary person, he would definitely sweep her out with a broom.

Ling Chu frowned. The county lord, whom he had never met before, was too lenient.

"Don't worry about it, Lord County. Although I'm not as rich as you, I can still get four hundred taels."

The maid behind the county lord snorted coldly, "You are obviously poor, but you still want to make a fool of yourself. It took a long time to choose, but it was only a mere four hundred taels. She pretended to be relaxed, but she was feeling very distressed in her heart. It seems that the Ling Mansion It was indeed defeated.”

Ling Chu's face turned cold, "It seems that the county master is indeed from a wealthy family and is not short of money."

The maid's nostrils turned upward, "My county master comes from Dingyuan Prince's Palace, so of course he is not short of money."

"Really? I wonder if the county owner can afford the rough stones next to them?" Ling Chu pointed at the pieces of material she had just scanned.
