Chapter 178 Being Targeted

The main purpose of this trip was to give the talisman paper to Dong.

After finishing the work, Han Yao stood up and left the private room without any reluctance.

Although Dong was reluctant and had a lot to say to her, she knew that she would not stay any longer.

He watched her walk out of the private room reluctantly, and it took a long time before he looked away.

Looking down at the silver note in his hand, his heart was bitter again.

For her, only two hundred taels were sent away, but Han Yao had to go to Dingyuan Princess to choose jade in person.

The difference between the two is really big.

But what can be done.

It was her own choice at the beginning, and she couldn't regret it.

She did nothing wrong. If Yao'er followed her, she would suffer in Ling Mansion like Qing'er now.

How could she live a life of luxury in Dingyuan Palace? Now she was named a county lady by the emperor.

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

It was Qing'er who suffered with her.

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

After they were married, she would help Hao'er.

When the eldest son became an official, he could ask for a title for her.

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

…

Xia Zhi drove a carriage to Fuyuan Street. She didn't know why her daughter came here until Ling Chu took her and Liu Xiangju to Cuiyu Pavilion, and then she knew that she was here to buy jade.

Cuiyu Pavilion was opened by Liu Gui, the nephew of Liu Gonggong.

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

Hearing that Ling Chu wanted to buy jadeite raw stones, the waiter took them to the backyard.

This Cuiyu Pavilion is a two-story building, mainly selling various head jewelry made of jade.

The jewelry on the lower floor is all low-end, and the upper floor is all fine.

The jadeite raw stones are all placed in the backyard.

Seeing the piles of raw stones in the yard, Ling Chu was a little surprised. There were hundreds of them, big and small.

Ling Chu was surprised, but seeing her, a Taoist nun, walking in with two maids, those who were selecting raw stones were more surprised than her.

Did this Taoist nun go to the wrong place?

While she was surprised, Liu Gui, the owner of Cuiyu Pavilion, and the shopkeeper were walking out of a room inside.

Seeing Ling Chu in a Taoist robe, they were both stunned.

But Liu Gui quickly remembered what his uncle had told him, and hurriedly smiled and walked over.

"Excuse me, are you Ling Xian Gu?"

Ling Chu nodded. Seeing that his face was somewhat similar to that of Liu Gonggong, he guessed his identity, "Are you Liu Dongjia?"

Thinking of the ability of this Taoist nun, Liu Gui's smile became even brighter. "Yes, I wonder if you want to buy jadeite rough stones?"

"Yes."

"I wonder what price range you want. I can introduce you to some."

"No hurry, I'll take a look first."

"Okay, take a look at it. If you need anything, just tell me."

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

They had seen Taoist nuns tell fortunes, but it was the first time they saw a Taoist nun buying jadeite rough stones.

And Liu Dongjia's attitude also surprised them.

They knew that Liu Dongjia relied on Liu Gonggong's power, and ordinary people were not in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, he was so respectful to this Taoist nun today.

Although Ling Chu noticed their surprised eyes, she ignored them.

She was looking around at the rough stones carefully with her head down.

Although Liu Dongjia did not follow her, he called a waiter to wait by the side. If Ling Chu did not understand something, he would explain it to her in a low voice.

These raw stones were divided into several piles. Some were priced by weight, while others were sold by piece.

Others were distinguished by the mine, the various qualities of the surface of the raw stone, color, transparency, texture, size and shape, etc.

Therefore, the price range of jadeite raw stones is very large, ranging from a few taels to tens of thousands of taels.

Ling Chu did not have much money on hand, and every penny had to be used on the blade.

She could not afford the high-priced ones, so she could only buy the highest quality raw stones at the lowest price.

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

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

In order not to waste money, Ling Chu still opened the system for scanning.

She did not scan all of the raw stones.

Ling Chu started with the ones with the lowest price.

She did not look at those that cost thousands or tens of thousands of taels, because she could not afford them anyway.

While scanning with the system, I suddenly heard a dissatisfied voice coming from behind, "Master Liu, how can anyone come into Cuiyu Pavilion casually now?"

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

The girl had a gloomy face and her eyes swept over the Taoist nun intentionally or unintentionally.

When Liu Dongjia saw the visitor, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, "I was wondering why I heard the call of magpies so early this morning. It turns out that a distinguished guest is coming. Miss Han, take a look at whatever you want today. I will definitely give you the best price."

As soon as Liu Dongjia finished speaking, the maid immediately said arrogantly, "Our girl is now the Princess of Wen'an County. The emperor just conferred her the title a few days ago."

Liu Dongjia was stunned, and then put on a smile again, "It's my fault. It turns out that the emperor conferred the title of Princess of the County on the girl. Congratulations to the Princess of the County, congratulations to the Princess of the County," and turned to instruct the shopkeeper next to him, "Go and get the newly carved plum blossom jade hairpin as a gift for the Princess of the County."

The men who were selecting jade were all businessmen, one of whom was Zhao Xinxiang, the owner of Yongfuxiang Gold Shop.

Zhao recognized that this woman was the eldest daughter of the Dingyuan Palace. When he heard that she was crowned as the county lady, he hurried over to congratulate her.

The other men who were selecting jade saw him coming over to congratulate her, and they also swarmed over.

Han Yao was reserved on the face of these flatterings, and she was both proud and disdainful in her heart.

It turned out that she was the county lady, no wonder she was so arrogant.

Ling Chu glanced at the county lady who was the center of attention, and quickly looked away, continuing to scan the jadeite raw stones.

Han Yao's eyes swept over the Taoist robe, and finally fell on that face, and her heart tightened.

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

Could it be that this Taoist nun was the disaster star?

Didn't she say that she had a weak body since childhood, and was seriously ill and dying not long ago? She originally thought that the Taoist temple was poor, and this disaster star grew up there since childhood, and must be no different from a village girl.

But I didn't expect that the other party had such a graceful and elegant demeanor, and that face even gathered the advantages of both the father and the mother.

Han Yao pinched her palm with her long nails.

No matter how beautiful she is, the Ling family has already failed, and now she is just a lowly disaster star, and she is now the county lady.

She is a noble lady that she can't reach even if she raises her head and stands on tiptoe!

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

She was being targeted.

Every month at the end of the month, I was anxious when I saw the list falling down. It was too difficult for me. I didn't know how to move up.
