Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn
Chapter 268 Princess Gambling on Stones
Upon hearing this, the thin man raised the invitation card above his head with both hands, his body trembling: "Yes, I will follow your orders, sir."
Jiang Li reached out to take the invitation and stuffed it into his sleeve, but actually threw it directly into the space. This thing was so damn unlucky. She would have no chance of coming to Yu Country in the future. What kind of people were they? They were a bunch of uncultured people.
There was a crisp slap sound behind me.
She tilted her head, pretending she didn't hear him, and looked at him innocently: "A Yuan, why don't we go somewhere else? There are still some good things here, it's suitable for Taobao fun."
Mo Yuan reached out to take the backpack and nodded, "Well, we can go to the gambling stone shop to have some fun. If we are lucky enough to come across some good jade, it would be great to give it to others as a gift."
Jiang Li's eyes lit up: "Okay, I like this, let's go."
Tsk tsk, she had originally planned to eat, drink and have fun, but this Yu countryman was so blind that he had to provoke her. So don't blame her for being rude. He had to go to both the gambling stone shop and the gambling house.
Don't expect her to stop unless you win a lot of money.
Seeing the man walking away, the thin man, with his face swollen like a pig's head, hurriedly stood up and crawled towards the temple. Since this man was a venerable, he would definitely report to the adults, who might reward him.
inside the temple
Si Ling was wearing a robe with cloud patterns and looked at the person in front of him with an indifferent expression. He said in a cold voice, "Why, who is the venerable you said you saw? Tell me the details."
He remembered that everyone was there. Could it be that someone was going out from the palace to play? That wasn't right. Even if those people wanted to go out, they should have told him. How could they be so rude?
The thin man lowered his head and stammered as he told the story. There was silence above his head and he did not dare to raise his head. It was a long while before he heard a voice.
"Well, if someone sends him back, I'll give him a reward."
"Many...thank you, sir."
After everyone left, Si Ling frowned and pressed his swollen and aching head. He always felt that the girl would cause trouble and he had to find her quickly. He had just made things difficult for her at the beginning and thought she would go to the government.
I will go to pick her up then, and teach that little girl a lesson to help me save face. Back then in Qi Country, that girl made me embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, this doesn't go according to common sense at all.
Si Ling clapped his hands, and several white shadows fell down: "Come here, go and find out the whereabouts of the Qiguo Zun, where he lives now, and where he is now. Once you find out, report back at any time."
"Yes, my lord."
After sending the people out, Si Ling went into the bathtub to soak, changed his clothes, and prepared to rest. However, the news he heard later made him no longer want to sleep.
"What? Say it again."
The man in white knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, after that gentleman left the ring-tossing stall, he went to the largest jade gambling shop and won... won a lot of precious jade. If this continues, the jade shop will probably go bankrupt."
"Although it is registered under your name, it is His Majesty's property. If it is really ruined by someone, I am afraid His Majesty will blame it."
Si Ling exhaled: "Go on, there's more."
"Yes, that lady saw that there was nothing good left in the gambling stone shop, so she turned around and went to the largest gambling house, which is owned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When I just came back, she had already won several times in a row."
"...I understand. You should quickly arrange a sedan chair and go with me to pick up the distinguished guest and bring him to the palace to attend the Venerable Assembly tomorrow."
a moment later
Si Ling glanced at the gorgeous sedan chair, exhaled lightly, and gritted his teeth: "Hurry up and lead the way."
Judging from that girl's behavior, if it were any later, the Crown Prince's gambling house would have to change hands. I really can't understand why a princess from a small country would be like this. She has no demeanor of a royal princess at all. She is simply a lunatic.

Gambling Stone Shop
Jiang Li was in a bad mood, so of course she wouldn't waste her energy on herself or go crazy and kill everyone. That was her nature. Hehe, since she had come to Yu Country, of course she had to take some good things with her.
The two men walked in. Jiang Li locked eyes with them, took out a thick stack of silver bills, and quickly started picking among the stones. Soon he had picked out a pile of stones and pointed at them.
"That's all, go ahead."
"Oh, wait, there's one more thing missing. I want this rockery stone from you. Name your price."
The person in charge was stunned, hesitated for a moment and whispered: "My lady, this stone is just a waste stone. We have opened the window several times, but there is no green at all. If you buy it, you will lose money."
"If you regret it later, we won't return the money."
Jiang Li nodded, his eyes firm and determined: "I know, how about this, we sign a contract, it's written in black and white and no one can regret it, don't you agree?"
"……Can"
The two of them signed quickly, one of them collected the banknote, and the other stood aside, eating a few chestnuts and cracking melon seeds from time to time, looking very content, in contrast to the others who were blushing.
The painting style is very unique.
Everyone looked at her with a bit of weirdness in their eyes and started whispering.
"Whose girl is this? She's so bold. She spent tens of thousands of taels to buy a bunch of stones to cut. Who cuts stones like this? Shouldn't they be cut one by one? What if they are all wasted?"
"Those tens of thousands of silver notes have gone down the drain. It's a waste of money. If anyone marries her in the future, it will be unlucky for the rest of their lives."
"Well, that's not the case. Let's just watch the fun."
Jiang Li said in a relaxed tone: "A Yuan, they say that if you marry me in the future, you will be unlucky for eight lifetimes. What do you think? Do you also think that I am fooling around with gambling on stones?"
Mo Yuan was peeling chestnuts seriously. Hearing this, he paused and chuckled, "No, they are just fools. I am blessed to marry you after several lifetimes of hard work. They can only envy me."
"As for bad luck, I think we will know soon whether it is a blessing or bad luck, right?"
"Hehe, I just like Yuan's confidence. Don't worry, I never suffer a loss. Since I dare to buy it all at once, I must be absolutely sure. Just watch quietly and don't drop your jaw in surprise."
Because there were too many stones, the gambling stone shop had to ask several masters to peel the stones at the same time. As the green color continued to appear, people around them gasped.
"Extreme...exquisite imperial green. How is it possible? My god, there are more than one piece."
Soon, several stones were unearthed, including Imperial Green, Floating Flower Ice, and even a transparent stone. Seeing this, Jiang Li walked forward, pinched it hard, and raised his eyebrows: "Could this thing be... that?"
Jiang Li glanced around, seeing the commotion getting bigger and bigger, and clapped his hands: "Boss, bring the backpack over, and send someone to deliver the stones to Qianweilou. The rest will not be opened. Is that okay?"
The person in charge wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, it's okay."
If he continued to dig, what if they were all top-grade jades? He, as the person in charge, would have to quit his job. Where did this girl come from? Why did she have such a sharp eye? Why was he so dizzy?
Youyou said, "I recognize all the stones. The shopkeeper sent someone to deliver them, but he must be careful. If they are not the original ones, I will not agree."
"Of course, don't worry, girl."
