The eye disease has improved a lot, and Su Yuejian is also making final preparations to go to Zhongli.

She had heard that the place was very poor, so since she was going to do construction there, the more money the better.

She made a lot of money, but in the past two years, the money she spent on Zhongli was also a bottomless pit.

She needs to be prepared to live off her savings for the next one to two years. To support so many people following her, she still needs to think of other ways to make money quickly.

So Su Yuejian thought of a place, which could only be found in the capital.

To be on the safe side, she took Uncle Wei with her, disguised herself, and immediately transformed herself into an elegant nobleman and a loyal butler.

This is an underground auction house, and Su Yuejian plans to try her luck.

I heard that this is the place for big shots in the capital, and no one dares to break the rules here.

Su Yuejian didn't come here to spend money, she came here to pick up bargains.

Generally, high-value items are placed at the end, and low-value items are placed at the beginning.

So Su Yuejian aimed at the first three items to see if there was anything that could bring her a surprise.

The first item to be auctioned is a piece of calligraphy. Although it is not expensive, the starting price is one hundred taels.

Su Yuejian was not interested.

The second item was a spice from the Western Regions, which was still not her target.

The third item was a rough stone. Su Yue sat up straight when she saw it.

It was an inconspicuous-looking stone with a rough and uneven surface. It looked no different from an ordinary stone and no one could see what was special about it.

Isn't this a piece tailor-made for her? Hahahahahaha! She looked calm, but she was determined to win it.

The starting price is eighty taels.

Some people who were interested would stand up and take a closer look, then shake their heads.

Su Yuejian also went forward to take a look. She was focused and paid close attention.

This rough stone may look rough on the outside, but it actually hides amazing beauty on the inside!

She focused her eyes, and with the help of her microscopic perspective ability, the texture inside the original stone was clearly visible, and the impurities were excluded. A large piece of purple jade appeared in her eyes, just like it had been carefully carved!

She took a deep breath and walked slowly back to her seat. She nodded to signal Uncle Wei to raise his cards!

"One hundred taels!" Uncle Wei made the first offer. This immediately attracted the attention of other bidders. They looked at this middle-aged man who looked like a butler and thought he must have made a mistake.

Just a broken stone like this, one or two taels of silver are too much!

The young man next to him looks like a wealthy man. He is probably some rich second-generation who came here for some fun.

Someone held up a sign, "One hundred and twenty taels!"

Are these people crazy? It's just a broken stone! It must have been taken by some ignorant kid. Rich people, please do as you please!

Uncle Wei raised his sign, "One hundred and forty taels!"

The man who had held up the sign before followed up, "One hundred and sixty taels!"

"Even gods cannot tell the difference between a jade and a stone"

“Gambling on stones is like gambling on your life”

"One knife makes you poor, one knife makes you rich, and one knife makes you wear sackcloth"

"Crazy people buy, crazy people sell, and there are crazy people waiting"

There are constant discussions around

……

Su Yuejian was unmoved. At Su Yuejian's suggestion, Uncle Wei raised his hand and said, "Two hundred taels!"

She knew that the value of this raw stone was far beyond their imagination, and she must not let it go!

"Two hundred and sixty taels!"

"Two hundred and eighty taels!"

The price kept rising, but after reaching three hundred taels, the growth stopped.

Obviously, that person had begun to doubt the value of this rough stone and stopped bidding!

Su Yuejian's face lit up with joy, and she easily won the auction with a low price of three hundred taels!

Questioning and puzzled looks were cast all around the auction venue, and people were whispering.

Some people speculated about the origin of this nobleman, and some even thought that he must be a nouveau riche, otherwise why would he make such an irrational bid for such an inconspicuous stone?

With the prices of goods at that time, the annual salary of an 30th-tier county chief would only be 40- taels without food or drink.

Three hundred taels! That's nearly ten years of salary!

Tell me, whose unlucky kid secretly used adults’ money to make this?

After Su Yuejian received the rough stone, the auctioneer smiled and said, "The rule of our auction house is that all rough stones must be cut on site!"

Su Yuejian originally wanted to make a fortune in a low-key manner, but since they have rules, just cut it.

Then the gongs and drums sounded in the auction hall, and the tense atmosphere was immediately created.

Su Yuejian felt no emotion at all, but other people at the scene were waiting to see the joke with great interest.

Out of curiosity, everyone stared at the cutting action on the stage. With a sound, the rough stone was cut.

At this time, the master in charge of cutting washed it with water, and then looked at the cut surface of the rough stone carefully towards the bright spot. He suddenly became excited, "Oh my God, oh my God! Top-quality material, high-quality imperial purple!"

The whole place was boiling with excitement! You have to know that a piece of imperial purple as big as a seal would be worth at least a thousand taels! Such a large piece, according to the experts present, is worth at least tens of thousands of taels!

The auctioneer asked Su Yuejian whether she wanted to take the raw stone or take the silver note directly at a discount.

Su Yue thought about it and felt that it would be more convenient to take the silver note!

So I asked, "How much would you pay if it's discounted?"

"Eight thousand three hundred taels! We can remit the banknotes to the place you specify according to your request to ensure safety!"

When Su Yue heard this, she felt that the other party could still make a lot of profit at this price, but if they wanted to get out of this unscathed, they might have to accept their conditions.

It’s not that she didn’t trust the auction house, but Su Yuejian was very worried about the people present and was afraid of being followed on the road.

If Su Yuejian chooses to take the stone away, it is likely that she will attract even greater covetousness as soon as she goes out!

Although I brought Uncle Wei with me, it would still be dangerous if the other side has more people!

After weighing the pros and cons, Su Yuejian happily accepted the discount and asked the other party to transfer the money directly to Zhongli's account.

Originally, she was thinking of finding a skilled jade carving master to make this stone into several exquisite jade collections, but this would be another hassle.

For her, this is the best way now!

Anyway, the cost is only three hundred taels, so she can't be too greedy.

At the auction house over there, "Master, a piece of raw stone opened today was bought by a young man for three hundred taels. We will buy it back for eight thousand three hundred taels."

"You guys are really capable. Do you want me to praise your loss-making business?" The masked man crushed the cake he was eating into powder!

"Master, although the young master made more money, we also made a lot. Master, you see, this quality of raw material is worth at least ten thousand taels. If we ask the craftsman of Qubao Pavilion to make several ornaments, the value will be immeasurable."

"Oh? Which young master is he from? He has such good taste?" The masked man seemed interested.

"My Lord, he is the son of the Chief Censor."

"Are you talking about the Su family? How old is this boy?" the masked man asked immediately.

"He looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, very handsome!"

The masked man was delighted when he heard this. "How dare you take advantage of this? Give me the things, and don't worry about the rest."

For Su Yuejian, today was about making money and trying to see if she could control the number of times she used her micro-vision, she would not suffer from the backlash of her eye disease.

Sure enough, there was no recurrence of eye disease today. Su Yuejian was very satisfied with getting eight thousand taels for nothing.

She also wanted to try her luck in the casino, but when she thought about the environment, and then thought about how Su Xiao would be shocked if he knew that she had been to the casino, she chose to go to the auction house.

Besides, if you use your micro-vision frequently in the casino, you will be blind when you come back!

Nanny Qin said that cousin Wang had sent an invitation, inviting the eldest lady to come over and play tomorrow.

Su Yuejian agreed with a smile. She finally had the chance to meet people from her mother's clan. She also had some questions that she wanted to confirm with them.
