I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times Chapter 183

The reason why Han Yao agreed to bet Ling Chu with all her jewelry was because she was sure she would win.

She had been paying close attention to the bane star when he was selecting rough stones. His methods looked like a novice's and he didn't know how to select them at all.

In order to please Princess Dingyuan and show her filial piety, Han Yao specially learned the skills of stone gambling from a stone gambling master.

Ever since she learned how to gamble on stones, she always went to great lengths to select the original stones herself, dig out the jadeite, and then find someone to carve it into jewelry, jade pendants, etc., and give them to the prince and princess of Dingyuan, as well as the crown prince of Dingyuan.

Her filial piety really made Prince Dingyuan and his wife very happy. Everyone praised them for having an extremely smart and filial daughter.

This allowed Han Yao to win a lot of good reputation in front of the noble clans.

“What does the county owner want to bet on?”

"Since we are in the Jade Pavilion, it is natural to bet on stones. It just so happens that you and I have both bought rough stones. Let's each pick three pieces and bet against each other to see who can cut the jadeite of higher quality. How about winning two out of three games?"

The other party insisted on giving her so many gifts for free, and it was difficult to refuse such kindness. She had no reason to refuse.

Ling Chu smiled and nodded, "Okay, since the county master wants to play, then I'd better obey him respectfully."

Han Yao's few rough stones were picked from the best quality batch in Cuiyu Pavilion, while the pile Ling Chu picked was the waste left after layers of screening, and it was almost impossible to get green.

Even though Liu Dong's family felt that the stone bet was unfair, they didn't want to offend the county owner and saw that the Taoist nun agreed, so they didn't have much to say.

Lingchu took a look at the rough stone that Han Yao had chosen to bet with her, feeling secretly happy in his heart.

Han Yao was confident in the few rough stones she had carefully selected. In order to suppress the disaster star at the beginning, she picked the one with the best appearance.

In order to prevent the cutting man from damaging the jadeite inside, she carefully considered the direction of the lines while using charcoal strips to slowly draw lines on the surface of the original stone.

Han Yao was still studying it carefully, but Ling Chu casually picked up the charcoal strip and painted it with a few strokes.

The people watching on the sidelines shook their heads secretly when they saw her painting casually.

Liu Gui couldn't help but vaguely remind him, "Ling Xiangu, this is your first time gambling on stones. Do you know the rules? As long as the rough stones are purchased in our Jade Pavilion, we can help cut them for free."

But how to cut it is up to you. If the guy in charge of cutting follows the line you drew, if the jade is cut into pieces, there will be no compensation, do you understand? "

Ling Chu smiled and nodded, "Thank you, my boss, for informing me. I understand all the rules."

Han Yao sneered secretly, "Since Miss Ling has already drawn the line, let's open your part first."

"That's what I meant." Ling Chu nodded, turned to the stone cutter and said, "Please help me cut this piece of material."

The guy didn't say anything, nodded, placed the rough stone in place, and transferred his inner power to the big knife in his hand.

The hand rises and the sword falls.

Seeing Bai Huahua's face, no one present was surprised at all.

Han Yao glanced at it, feeling proud that it was indeed a waste.

The disaster star is destined to lose.

Lingchu was not disappointed at all when there was no green result, and signaled the guy to continue cutting.

Very quickly, the second cut was completed.

Cuiliu only glanced at it and immediately gloated, "You didn't get a green shot. You lost to our county boss in this round."

As soon as the maid's proud voice fell, the man just finished the third cut.

As the cut surface fell, a touch of emerald green flashed in the sunlight.

After being stunned for a moment, someone exclaimed, "Ah, it's green."

Cuiliu's proud smile froze, and she retorted loudly without thinking, "Impossible!"

Han Yao paused in drawing the line, frowned and turned her head, seeing the emerald green.

The charcoal stick in his hand snapped with a crisp sound and broke.

Even though he was angry, he couldn't get angry and could only comfort himself. The disaster star didn't know how to gamble with stones at all, maybe he just relied on his green skin.

Liu Gui and the others gathered around him with cheers. The Taoist nun cut jadeite out of scraps, which really surprised them.

Look at the clear and green water, and the variety is not bad.

Ling Chu smiled and nodded, "It seems like you're pretty lucky. Could you please cut the remaining sides open?"

“Okay.” Seeing that he had cut out the jade, the taciturn man rarely spoke back.

Run the internal force again, brush it with a few cuts and the cut is complete.

　　This rough stone from Lingchu was originally slightly larger than a basketball. After it was cut, only about one-third of the jadeite was contained in it.

Although it is not very big, this jadeite has clear water head and beautiful color.

Not to mention the surprise of others, Liu Gui was also surprised. He did not expect that among the pile of rough stones that he regarded as scrap, there would be fish of such good quality that slipped through the net. Lingchu washed the jadeite with water and took a look, feeling quite satisfied.

Yong Fuxiang's Zhao Dongjia couldn't help but praise, “Ling Xiangu is pretty lucky.”

He was envious of the luck of being able to cut out hibiscus seeds from that pile of scraps.

Ling Chu smiled modestly, "It's not really good material, I just picked it up by luck."

Zhao Dongjia originally wanted to ask her whether she could sell this piece of jade, but Han Yao took the lead and said to the clerk, "Miss Ling's piece is finished, please help me cut my piece."

Seeing that her face was not very good, Zhao Dongjia hurriedly swallowed his words.

Cuiliu saw that the clerk was preparing to cut, and hurriedly warned, "Be careful, don't cut it. We, the county master, must have jade in this piece."

The waiter looked at her expressionlessly, raised the knife, and cut along the line drawn by Han Yao.

As the skin was cut open, Cuiliu shouted excitedly, "County Lord, it's green..."

“This crystal clear green is actually a top-quality jadeite.”

“High-quality jadeite, the county master's stone gambling skills are really impressive.”

Listening to everyone's compliments, Han Yao smiled modestly on the outside, but she was extremely proud of herself on the inside.

She has worked hard to study stone gambling skills. She is not like someone else. She is just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

After hearing everyone's compliments, Han Yao was satisfied and asked the waiter to continue cutting.

"Be careful, this is high-grade jade, don't cut it into pieces..." Cuiliu told the waiter with an arrogant look.

Just mid-sentence, I suddenly got stuck.

“This...is gone?”

Everyone was shocked when they saw the man cut out the white stone with his second knife.

Han Yao's expression changed, she rushed over quickly, picked up the water basin next to her and poured it over.

When washed by the water, the white cut surfaces became more conspicuous, making her face even more blue and black.

Han Yao was going crazy. She didn't want to believe that the jadeite that had just been cut was gone.

Sullenly asked the man to continue cutting.

The guy didn't say a word, and raised the knife in his hand.

The third knife, no green.

The fourth sword is still a white stone.

The more serious the situation, the uglier the faces of Han Yao and his servant became.

A rough stone of nearly fifty kilograms was cut into a bunch of small squares the size of mahjong.

Everyone present looked at each other, no one dared to speak for fear of irritating the county leader.

This high-quality jadeite is only green because of its skin. The county owner is afraid that he will vomit blood.
