Chapter 181 The Real Purpose

Cao Shun swayed and staggered towards the jade stone. With trembling hands, he picked up a handful of water from the wooden basin on the side and sprinkled it on the newly cut jadeite.

A field of white stones comes into view.

Cao Shun was almost crying, how could his jade be gone like this.

The onlookers sighed in their hearts.

Cao Shun touched the piece of material, raised his head for a while and said to the waiter, "Cut it again."

Everyone can understand that Cao Shun is not reconciled.

After all, the quality of the jadeite when I cut it with the first cut was really good, but I didn’t expect that the green color was gone when I cut it with the second cut.

If it were them, they wouldn't be willing to accept it.

It's such a big piece of material, maybe there's jade on the other side.

It was with this idea in mind that Cao Shun asked the waiter to continue cutting.

Ling Chu glanced at the guy. The guy poured his inner energy into the knife in his hand. He cut jade as well as he cut cabbage. It seemed like he had good martial arts skills.

This guy may have cut too much jade, and there was no expression on his face.

The hand rises and the knife falls.

Still no green.

Cao Shunyou refused to give up and asked his assistant to cut the more than 50 cm rough stone into more than ten pieces.

However, no matter how I cut it, I couldn't see any green.

Cao Shun was so damaged that his intestines were blue. He bought this rough stone for more than three thousand taels. If he had sold it to Zhao Dong's family just now, he would have made more than forty thousand taels.

Why is he so greedy, thinking that if he cuts them all, he can sell them at a higher price.

Cao Shun regretted it, but Zhao Xinxiang was extremely happy.

Fortunately, the purchase just now was not successful, otherwise he would have lost fifty thousand taels in vain.

"What bad luck." Cao Shun cried sadly and wanted to turn around and leave Cuiyu Pavilion.

But Ling Chu called out, "Wait a minute."

Cao Shun turned around with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't know this Taoist nun, why should he call her?

Ling Chu noticed his doubts and smiled, "Boss Cao, do you want to sell these cut materials? If the price is right, I would like to buy them."

Before Cao Shun could speak, a sneer suddenly came from beside him, "I'm afraid you, a Taoist nun, are crazy because of your poverty. Do you still want to cut jadeite out of these waste materials?"

Ling Chu turned his head and glanced at the county head of Dingyuan Prince's Mansion. When he saw that she did not stop the maid's ridicule, his eyes turned cold and said, "A dog can catch a mouse, mind your own business."

Too lazy to pay attention to the maid whose expression changed, Ling Chu turned to Cao Shun and motioned to him to tell him the price.

Cao Shun didn't expect that the Taoist nun called him to stop and wanted to buy the materials he had cut up.

After hesitating for a moment, Cao Shun said, "Give me five taels, and I'll give you all the ingredients."

Ling Chu nodded and signaled Xia Zhi to give him money.

Although Xia Zhi felt that it was a waste for her girl to spend five taels of silver to buy a pile of scrap stones, but in full view of the crowd, she didn't dare to say anything, so she took out an ingot of silver and handed it to Cao Shun.

After finishing the payment, Ling Chu bent down and picked up a square piece of material from the pile of cut scraps.

Han Yao's eyes were full of disdain, and soon she changed to a kind-hearted look, "Miss Ling, your Ling Mansion is different from the past. You spent five taels just to buy such a useless stone. If your parents knew about it, I'm afraid... I want to blame you for spending money frivolously."

Ling Chu glanced at her lightly, then turned around and picked up a piece of charcoal. He drew a few lines on the piece of material in his hand, and then handed it to the man in charge of cutting, "Brother, please cut according to these lines."

The onlookers were about to leave, but after hearing Ling Chu's words, they stopped immediately.

Does this Taoist nun really want to pick up the leaks?

Almost no one was optimistic about Ling Chu. After all, this was a piece of scrap material that had just been cut. How could it possibly come out green?

The guy said nothing, nodded, took it, and fixed it on the ground.

The knife in his hand started to fly, and he quickly finished cutting the scrap.

As soon as the guy's knife stopped, someone immediately exclaimed, "Ah... it's green."

Seeing the green and transparent color, Han Yao's face darkened.

How is this possible?

Not only was she surprised, everyone present looked surprised.

Ling Chu signaled Xia Zhi to pick up the piece of jade, and smiled lightly at everyone, "I wanted to cut it up for fun, but I didn't expect it to be missed."

Looking at the extremely beautiful piece of jade, Cao Shun wanted to slap himself. How could he miss such a good treasure?

Han Yao crumpled the handkerchief into a ball, smiled, and pretended to be curious, "Miss Ling, among so many scraps, why did you pick that piece alone? Do you know that there is jade in that piece?"

Why, naturally it was because she was curious and scanned it with the system.

But of course she wouldn't say anything about it.

Ling Chu glanced sideways at the county master and said with a smile, "As the saying goes, it's hard for an immortal to break an inch of jade. Who knows if there is jade in that stone. I'm just lucky, it's just a coincidence."

But even a disaster star dared to show off his good luck to her.

Han Yao was angry in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face, "Good luck? I wonder if Miss Ling dares to take a gamble with me and see who has better luck."

Ling Chu smiled brighter than her.

Just when everyone else thought she was about to nod in agreement, they unexpectedly heard her say softly, "Not interested."

Who does the county head think she is? Does it mean that everyone in the world will revolve around her?

Han Yao's face froze and she almost couldn't keep the smile on her face.

Ling Chu glanced across her stiff face, turned around and left.

Being ignored like this, Han Yao's anger suddenly rose in her heart.

"Miss Ling, please stay. I'll use this hair crown as a bonus. Are you interested?"

Ling Chu turned back and glanced at the golden hair crown in Han Yao's hand, "No bet."

Han Yao sneered in her heart, "Why not bet? Are you afraid of losing to me?"

Ling Chu was speechless. Is this county lady mentally ill? Why did she have to bet with her? "I'm afraid you will cry if you lose."

"Miss Ling, do you think the prize is not enough? This bracelet is also a prize. You must be interested, right?" Han Yao took off the bracelet on her right hand.

This bracelet is a pair with the one mortgaged to Liu Gui. They were both given to her by the imperial concubine. I don't believe that this disaster star will not be tempted.

Ling Chu was indeed moved when she saw the smooth and shiny bracelet.

"Okay, I'll bet with you."

If she still refuses this benefit that is forced in front of her, it means she looks down on such a beautiful bracelet.

That hair crown is fine, but this bracelet can be won to repair the system.

"How does the county lady want to bet?"

Han Yao snorted in her heart. It's true that she is a bumpkin who has never seen the world. But she was moved by a bracelet.

"Does Miss Ling have a prize?"

Ling Chu frowned. This is a difficult question. Although she has a lot of things, they are not suitable for betting.

"It doesn't matter if Miss Ling can't come up with a prize. If you win, you can get the hair crown and bracelet. But if you lose, you will go back to the Taoist temple and never be allowed to return to Beijing. How about that?"

Ling Chu's eyes turned cold. The county lady insisted on betting with her. Could it be that the real purpose was to make her leave the capital and never come back?
