The fat shopkeeper who ca along to watch the excitent was stunned. The rock he casually picked up by the pit, which he just bought for two silver pieces thinking he had made a good deal, turned out to be...
There is no such thing as a regret dicine in this world.
Gao Dazhuang was even more astounded. Since childhood, he had been acquainted with jade stones, but judging by what he had learned, he couldn’t foresee anything about these stones. This... was purely luck.
The young lady possessed god-defying skills as well as god-defying luck.
Yang Ruxin remained calm, showing little interest in those who were bidding. She wasn’t in need of money; she just wanted to explore the usefulness of her conscious force in jade gambling.
One piece might be luck, so she needed to check the second stone as well.
The Jade Carving Master did not expect such high-quality green to erge, thus he was also looking forward to the second piece, as was the fat shopkeeper.
Yang Ruxin nodded, indicating for him to make the cut and also specifying where to cut.
The Jade Carving Master looked at Yang Ruxin in astonishnt, then truly followed her instructions.
"Wow!" After the cut, the crowd boiled over, "This is glazed-type..."
Yang Ruxin glanced at the stone, which was clearly greener than the first one, and slightly furrowed her brows. Glazed-type? Was that the sa as what later generations called glass-type? Anyway, she knew that glass-type is considered the best in jadeite.
"Miss, after this piece is ready, would you sell it to ?" One old man looked at Yang Ruxin, "We can discuss the price."
Yang Ruxin shook her head: "Sorry, old uncle, I am not selling this."
The old man wanted to say sothing more, but seeing that Yang Ruxin did not seem to be playing hard to get, he didn’t press further.
Each ti before making a cut, the Jade Carving Master would seek confirmation from Yang Ruxin with his eyes, and she would specify how to make the cuts. The stone this ti was quite large, but the glass-type jadeite extracted was only slightly larger than her fist.
"Miss, are you really not selling?" The fat owner also ca over, this piece did co from his store after all. Although re-buying it might seem like a loss, its quality was superb and reselling it to Beijing after carving could potentially double the price.
"Really not selling." Yang Ruxin smiled, handing the two pieces of jadeite to Gao Dazhuang, "It’s ti for you to prove your worth, rember, I don’t keep idlers around."
"Young Miss..."
As Yang Ruxin signaled Du Man to settle the paynt with the store and turned to leave, she heard the fat owner loudly making an advertisent behind her: "This lady’s stones were all purchased from Ruyi Store..."
Whether that would increase its popularity, Yang Ruxin didn’t know.
News of two pieces of high-quality jadeite quickly spread, and it alard the people in the elegant room on the second floor of Treasure Pavilion. It was only when they saw Yang Ruxin that their eyes brightened, and they hurriedly followed her, intercepting her at the door: "Miss Yang, is it really you?"
Yang Ruxin turned around and saw a handso young man dressed like a scholar, holding a fan that looked ordinary but was actually a sharp blade, and she smiled imdiately: "Young Master Fa, what a coincidence."
This was none other than Fa Qingyang, one of the people imprisoned in Wanren Villa with Gu Qingheng by the Sun Saintess from Longyun Mountain.
Speaking of which, Yang Ruxin was still his lifesaver.
"It’s not a coincidence, this Treasure Pavilion belongs to Longyun Villa." Fa Qingyang smiled, "But why does Miss co here?"
