Soon, several men came over from the crowd.
The leader glared at the subordinate fiercely and warned him in a cold tone: "Why are you entangled with a man here? If you make trouble for the master's important matter, I can't save you."
The subordinate finally came to his senses, glanced at Mingyue's face, and followed the man.
The crisis was temporarily resolved.
But Mingyue also knew that she had to speed up.
Fortunately, the jades in this jade capital are her confidence.
Who told her that she could tell what kind of jade is contained in the raw stones
Mingyue blinked and decided to give up fighting alone and find someone to back her up.
But before that, she had to find out who in this Jade City was qualified to be her backer.
Since Mingyue already knew someone was chasing her, she didn't stay in the inn in the city. Firstly, the money she had was running out, and secondly, it was not safe to stay under other people's noses.
So in the end Mingyue chose to stay in a farmer's house outside the city. She was willing to pay money, and the farmer was very happy to let them stay, and he even specially cleared out a spacious room for them.
In the following days, Mingyue entrusted Mingmei to the care of an old woman in a farmer's home, and went into the city in disguise to gather information.
Mingyue actually managed to get a lot of information from the mouths of the common people and the shop assistants.
The one that she found most beneficial was the owner of the largest jade shop in Wangnan City, which was run by the emperor's younger brother, Prince Chen.
As everyone knows, the emperor and Prince Chen are brothers from the same mother. The two brothers have been close since childhood. Later, one became the emperor and the other became the prince.
Prince Chen apparently only has a title, but in fact he is the emperor's most trusted confidant. He is in charge of the national treasury, and his businesses are spread all over the country. He is the emperor's purse.
This backer is really good.
As long as Mingyue can catch the eye of Prince Chen, she will be able to gain a reputation in front of the king of a country.
What would Dingyuan Hou be by then? What would Dingyuan Hou’s fake prince be
Mingyue curled up the corner of her mouth into a smile, and waved the folding fan in her hand as she walked into the purple air coming from the east.
This Zi Qi Dong Lai is the largest jade shop in Wangnan City. It is a three-storey building. Not only is it located in the best location in the city, it also covers a very large area and is built extremely luxuriously. It is indeed worthy of being a money-making tool for Prince Chen.
When you first enter the first floor of the shop, you will see stones of various sizes placed everywhere. Those stones have various shapes and it is impossible to tell the condition of the inside from the outside.
But the prices of these stones are not ordinary. Some are sold by kilogram, and some are sold at a marked price.
As soon as a customer came in, a waiter with a smile like Maitreya Buddha came over, looked at Mingyue and said, "Sir, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time in our shop?"
Mingyue nodded and praised: "You have a good eye."
The clerk smiled and shook his head: "I can't say I have a good eye, I just have a good memory. What kind of rough stone do you want to buy, sir?"
Mingyue looked at him and asked: "What kind do you have in your shop?"
The waiter smiled and said, "There are many options. We have raw stones that are sold by pound, semi-raw stones that are sold at a fixed price, and jade raw materials that have already been cut. It depends on which one you want to buy, sir."
Now Mingyue only has a few taels of silver left in her pocket. To be honest, it is only enough for her to buy those relatively light raw stones that are sold by pound.
Of course, you still have to do enough work to save your appearance.
Mingyue waved her fan, looking like she had plenty of money, and said, "When it comes to playing with jade, it's all about excitement. Take me to see the fully covered raw stone. I want to open it myself."
"Okay, okay, please come this way, sir." The waiter did not doubt the truth of her words, and the smile on his face became even bigger.
The shop assistants in this shop like to meet people like her the most. Those who open jade often want to open better jade, and if they want to open better jade, they can only invest more money.
Gambling on stones, as long as the word gambling is involved, will often result in a total loss of all money in the end, with all the profits being taken away by the shop, and those of them who work as shop assistants can only get a little more money.
However, where the guys couldn't hear, Feishuang in Mingyue's sea of consciousness had already started chirping.
[Master, the stone on your right has a lot of spiritual energy. If you walk three steps forward, the fourth stone is also good. And the biggest one right in front of you...]
Mingyue felt like her brain was about to explode, and the smile on her face was almost stiff.
If the prices of those stones were beyond her ability to afford now, she would have bought them long ago.
But now she could only follow her servant with a grievance, go to a pile of stones randomly piled on the ground, and choose one or two taels of silver to buy three pounds of stones.
And these stones also prove the saying that you get what you pay for.
Feishuang commanded in his sea of consciousness: [Go in, go in again, stop, Master, the second piece at your feet has spiritual energy, but the aura is not very pure, it is not a good jade.]
Mingyue picked up the jade that weighed only two kilograms, looked at it with pretended admiration, and said to the clerk beside her: "Okay, open this one for me first."
"Ah? Okay." The guy stared at the small stone in a daze, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
He thought he was a big customer, but this is all he got? Less than one tael of silver.
The clerk took the small stone and brought it to the stone cutter without much hope. "Master He, I'll have to trouble you to cut this stone."
Master He was also stunned when he took the small stone, and blurted out: "It's so small, could it be the unwanted leftover material?"
When the waiter saw Mingyue still nearby, he winked at Master He.
Master He responded, coughed twice and said, "Sir, it is very difficult to mine jade from such a small stone."
Mingyue just smiled and said: "I'm just playing around, it's okay, just go ahead and do it."
Master He sighed and wondered why young people still didn't believe in it.
Just as he was about to start, Mingyue pointed at the sharp corner of the small stone and reminded him, "Start cutting from here."
Master He nodded: "Okay."
Then he cut along the position Mingyue said with a knife, and sure enough, everything...
The guy next to him suddenly shouted, "Ah? Jade is out, jade is out."
Master He was so frightened that his hands trembled and he almost cut the jade.
At this time, the guests nearby also gathered around, and everyone was asking:
"What jade?"
"Who gave out the jade?"
"What kind of jade is this? Do you want to sell it? I will pay a lot for it."
"I take it too, I take it too..."
The entire place became lively in an instant as Zi Qi Lai Dong came.
In the private room on the third floor, the elegantly dressed man heard the noisy noise downstairs and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is this a jade product?"
