When Si Yiyan heard her slightly nervous words, the smile in his eyes became deeper and deeper, and in his deep eyes, a bright and beautiful light shone.
"If there is no good stuff, how about I, your husband, take another good piece to make up for your loss?" He smiled deeply, with joy in his eyes.
The Si family has several stone quarries under their control, and most of the jade ornaments given to Xinya are from the Si family's stone quarries. Because his family has such an industry and gambling on stones is popular among the upper class, he is quite interested in gambling on stones. As long as the raw stones auctioned in the quarry can produce good materials, most of them will not escape his eyes.
Wen Xinya pouted: "It's fine to make up for the loss, but don't think I'm a spendthrift when the time comes."
Si Yiyan couldn't help but chuckle, his voice was deep, powerful, and full of joy and interest: "It seems that Madam's level of squandering needs to be improved. I am embarrassed to say that you are a squanderer."
One hundred and fifty million is indeed a considerable sum, but it is a drop in the bucket for him.
I didn't expect that this silly girl would think that she was a spendthrift
Should he tell her that the outfit she was wearing today alone cost as much as 10 billion, and that he was actually a bigger spendthrift than her
Wen Xinya was about to reply when there was a commotion below. She looked towards the auction table and saw an old man preparing to cut a stone.
The old man looked towards their private room and asked loudly, "Excuse me, how should this stone be solved?"
Si Yiyan said calmly: "Just untie it casually!"
Although he was cutting it casually, the stone-cutting master did not dare to be really perfunctory. So he used his rich experience in stone cutting over the years and observed the structure of the surface of the raw stone. He started to cut only after he had a clear idea in his mind.
The most exciting part of gambling on gemstones auction is cutting the stones.
The excitement and tension of the moment when the answer is about to be revealed is like a huge gamble, which is more fascinating than the slot machines, poker and dice in the casino. The atmosphere on the scene has also become excited. Everyone's eyes are fixed on the raw stone on the stage, wanting to know what can be produced from the raw stone that cost 150 million yuan.
Wen Xinya looked at the calm but impetuous atmosphere in the field and couldn't help but whispered, "I finally understand why so many people are crazy about gambling on stones."
Si Yiyan smiled but said nothing.
The first cut revealed a thick layer of stone, but it did not turn purple.
There were more or less some disappointed voices in the field, and many people had no hope for this rough stone.
Wen Xinya knew the importance of the first cut in cutting the stone. She couldn't help but glance at Si Yiyan, wondering if he was still as confident as before.
Si Yiyan drank his tea leisurely and said calmly: "Just keep watching!"
Wen Xinya curled her lips and looked towards the stage.
At this time, the stone-cutting master made the second cut.
Surprisingly, the second knife still did not turn purple, and there were many different opinions below.
"I think this piece of spring material is unlikely to yield anything. It looks like Si's 150 million has been wasted."
"So what? It's just 150 million. The Si family won't take it seriously. It's just Master Si Jiu spending money to entertain his wife."
"That's right. The Si family owns several quarries, all of which are old quarries. Mrs. Si can get any kind of jade she wants. She just wants to spend money for excitement."
This is true!
Wen Xinya chuckled and looked at Si Yiyan: "It seems that my husband has a reputation of being wealthy and powerful among the seven surnames and ten families!"
Si Yiyan said seriously: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Madam!"
After two cuts without producing purple, everyone was no longer interested in the raw stone on the table.
At this time, the stone cutter made his third cut, and someone shouted, "It's purple!"
There was another uproar in the field.
The stone cutter was not at all bothered by the sudden noise in the room and continued to cut steadily.
The rich and dazzling purple on the untied stone surface presents an imposing, graceful and rich beauty under the dazzling light.
Everyone in the field was boiling with excitement.
"It really is purple, it's actually a glass-type royal purple!"
Everyone knows that the most noble color among violet jadeite is royal purple. The status of royal purple in purple jadeite is the same as that of imperial green in green jadeite.
"The color is rich and uniform purple, bright and eye-catching, pure and not evil, bright and pleasing to the eyes, dazzling, fine texture, pure and flawless, crystal clear, and full of spirituality. You can tell at a glance that it is grown from an old pit."
For the best jadeite, in addition to texture and color, the type of jade is also a criterion for measuring the quality of jadeite. As we all know, the older the stone quarry is, the better the jade it produces will be, with purer and softer texture, delicate hand feel, and bright, clear, pure and rich color.
The ancients once praised the characteristics of jade produced in old mines as "light in weight" and "hard in texture but soft".
Wen Xinya was obviously shocked.
Si Yiyan put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "I'm lucky. The old pit glass-type royal purple is already the top-level existence among purple jades. Its value is probably not less than the old pit-type imperial green jadeite."
Throughout the history of Country Z, Imperial Green Jade has always held the reputation of "King of Jade", which is unshakable. This is because among violet jade, only a handful of top-quality ones are produced, and ice type is the second best, monopolizing the reputation of violet jade and the purple air coming from the east.
Even so, it cannot be compared with the imperial green jadeite.
This piece of old pit glass-type royal purple violet jade, whether in terms of jade type, texture, and color, is comparable to the imperial green jadeite, which shows its value.
Wen Xinya's pupils shrank: "I didn't seem to step on anything when I went out today!"
Her luck was usually neither too good nor too bad, just average, so she was still a little confused about having opened such top-quality jade. It seemed like a dream and it was unreal to her.
Si Yiyan tapped her forehead gently: "If grandpa knew about this, he would probably teach you a lesson again."
"It hurts!" Wen Xinya rubbed her forehead and blinked at him with a cunning look in her eyes: "If you don't tell grandpa, how will grandpa know?" Then, she tugged at his sleeve in a flattering way: "You won't tell grandpa, will you?"
Because of her occasional vulgar behavior, she had been punished by her grandfather more than once or twice.
Being punished by my grandfather was never a pleasant experience.
But when she mentioned her grandfather, she really missed him. Then she thought of the three little kids living in the Mo family. She didn't know whether they were well-behaved or not, and whether they caused any trouble to her grandfather.
Si Yiyan couldn't help but burst out laughing, of course it wasn't Mr. Mo who was punishing her.
Wen Xinya complained to Si Yiyan in dissatisfaction: "I don't know why, but grandpa has been getting more and more strict with me over the years. It's really unreasonable. I'm already over 30 years old and have three children, but grandpa still treats me like a child."
