I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down
Chapter 217 Jade Shop
This frightened the servant and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Because the third floor is not accessible to ordinary people.
Even princes and ministers had to meet certain conditions before they could go to the third floor.
Upon seeing this, the princess took out a jade token without further ado.
The front of the jade plaque is engraved with the words "Shangbin", and the back is engraved with the words "Yushifang".
This once again scared the servant in front of him.
Because this jade token was distributed personally by the owner of the jade shop, there will be no more than three people who own it in the entire city.
"It turns out that a big shot has come. Damn the little one, damn the little one!"
The servant's face was filled with fear, and he almost knelt on the ground.
The princess didn't care about these things, but quickly asked the other party to lead them upstairs.
The servant then led the princess, Lin Chen, Liu Qin and others to the third floor.
……
When he reached the third floor, Lin Chen looked forward again.
There were many tables around, with all kinds of strange-shaped stones placed on them.
After someone paid silver for the stone, the servants quickly cut the stone open. However, they found that it was just an ordinary stone without any green in it. The person who bought the stone looked depressed.
Lin Chen also discovered that these onlookers, including those who bought stones, were all dressed in luxurious clothes and wore jade crowns on their heads. They were obviously not ordinary dignitaries.
"You have to be careful when you speak here. This is not like the first floor of the Jade Shop. To be able to gamble on jade here, you must be at least the prince of a certain royal palace!"
"See those people? Prince Kang of Prince Kang's Mansion, Lord Li of Prince Li's Mansion. They all hold high positions!"
The princess explained.
Lin Chen suddenly realized it.
No wonder these people's conversation and the clothes they wore were so different from those on the first floor. It turned out that they were all princes and young masters of the palace.
"Princess, how come you have time to come to this jade shop today?!"
A prince recognized the visitor as Princess Danyang and immediately bowed.
When the people around heard that the princess was coming, they quickly put down the stones in their hands and stepped forward to bow and salute.
The princess acted very easygoing and said, "I was just bored and came to take a look!"
"When you're out and about, there aren't so many rules. Just do as you please!"
After hearing this, the crowd dispersed slightly, but there were still many people surrounding the princess.
After all, this princess is more favored by the current emperor than the current prince.
If you can curry favor with him, it will also help your future career in the officialdom.
However, at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from the front.
"It's really fate, Imperial Sister!"
"Why are you here in this jade shop today? Do you want to gamble on jade too?!"
The person who came was the prince.
When everyone saw this, they all bowed.
Including the princes and dukes surrounding the princess, they all dispersed and quickly saluted.
Although the prince is not favored by the current emperor like the princess.
But he is still the crown prince in name only.
Maybe he really is the future emperor of Qin!
"What a fate, my Royal Brother! How come I can run into you there?"
The princess had never expected to meet the prince in this jade shop.
The prince only then noticed Lin Chen next to the latter.
He then chuckled and said, "Isn't this Lin Chen, the soon-to-be appointed Assistant Lawyer of the Dali Temple? What are you doing here?!"
"Could it be that he plans to win the Imperial Green Jade by gambling on the jade to make up for the shortfall of two million taels of silver in the national treasury?"
When everyone heard the name Lin Chen, they knew it was very familiar.
After all, a few days ago, the latter made gunpowder, and the current emperor said that he was a great talent and the future pillar of the Qin State.
I didn’t expect to see the real person here today.
"So he is Lin Chen, he doesn't look that good!"
"I heard that this kid was arrogant before, and it seems he even offended the Crown Prince. He's still too young. Doesn't he understand that a tree must be destroyed before the forest can destroy it?"
Some people at the scene marveled at Lin Chen's talent, while others thought that the latter was arrogant and that such a person would not live long.
Lin Chen blurted out: "Just try it!"
"How come His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to gamble on stones today too?!"
The prince did not hide anything.
He then said, "So what!"
"But do you know anything about gambling on stones? This must be your first time in a place like this!"
Lin Chen said without hesitation: "Let's take a gamble and we'll know. Maybe we can get what we want!"
The prince said sarcastically, "In that case, do you dare to make a bet with me on who can find the bigger and heavier jade?"
"Loser, get out of here right now, how about that?!"
Lin Chen agreed directly.
"Come on, come on!"
At this moment, the princess hurriedly pulled the latter aside and warned him, "You must not gamble with him. This guy has never lost when gambling on stones!"
"He's a very skilled gambler, you're no match for him!"
Lin Chen smiled lightly and said, "Then he is destined to lose if he meets me today!"
The princess originally wanted to persuade the latter, but unexpectedly the prince came over and sneered.
"Since he wants to gamble, let him gamble. Maybe he'll get lucky and open an Imperial Green!"
After saying that, he just laughed.
Many people around also laughed.
At this time, Lin Chen went straight to a round table for gambling on stones and picked up a stone at random. The surface was rough, not smooth at all, and there were cracks on it.
He gave ten taels of silver and immediately asked the servant in front of him to open the box.
When the prince saw this, he burst into laughter.
"I'm wondering if you even know how to gamble on stones. You don't even look at anything and just let someone cut it!"
"That's hilarious, you're such a fool!"
After receiving the silver, the servant in front of him used a saw to cut the stone into two parts.
The result was just as everyone expected, there was no green inside, it was just an ordinary stone.
"What am I saying? This guy is just an idiot. He just came to the jade shop and he thinks he can mine fine jade!"
"Boy, today I will let you see what gambling is all about!"
As the prince spoke, he walked straight forward.
Then he looked at the round table in front of him for a long time, picked up various stones for comparison, and finally chose a stone with a smoother texture and better quality.
"That's it, open it!"
After he finished speaking, he threw ten taels of silver to the servant in front of him.
After the servant took the silver, he immediately took a saw and started to cut the stone.
When the stone was completely sawed open, one-third of the emerald green was revealed inside. Although it was not very green, at least it was revealed.
"Congratulations to this guest, the emerald green has bloomed!"
The servant in front of him congratulated him.
The prince laughed triumphantly.
The people around also hurried to flatter him.
"As expected of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his gambling skills are truly extraordinary!"
"I opened a stone for the first time today and found jade!"
The prince seemed to enjoy the flattery from those around him.
It was not until this moment that Lin Chen realized that he had underestimated the latter's gambling skills.
I really know nothing about this stone.
