Chapter 164 Give you a big gift

   When Er Shui thought of the old lady at home, it was quite a headache.

  She only hoped that this calligraphy and painting would please her old man, and then stop stuffing men into her backyard.

   "The older ones really like this calligraphy and painting."

  Because calligraphy can settle people's hearts, it is the favorite of older people.

  Practicing calligraphy at ordinary times can also calm the mind, which is beneficial to physical and mental health.

   "Joy, it's time for your fortune."

   While the two were talking, the Fu Lu Shou that Qiao Yi wanted to auction had already been brought up.

  Because the things are too expensive, the shopkeeper personally hosts them.

  After talking a lot about the rough stone and its rarity, the shopkeeper finally said the starting price.

   "The auction starts at one hundred taels of gold, and the minimum price increase is no less than ten taels."

   "Damn it! It's a golden price, they really value you."

   Er Shui made a rare swear word.

  That’s gold, one hundred taels of gold doesn’t sound like much, but it would be ten thousand taels in silver.

   And according to this momentum, it is estimated that there are not tens of thousands of taels of gold that are absolutely impossible to buy.

   "Two hundred taels."

   "I said, Lao Wang, you want to get such a good thing for two hundred taels? Are you still awake? I will offer one thousand taels."

   "Old Li, I think you haven't woken up yet. How many pieces does this Fu Lu Shou have in the whole month? And it's still a rough stone. It's rare, and I'll give you five thousand taels."

   "Five thousand one hundred taels."

   "Five thousand five hundred taels."

   "Six thousand taels."

   "I can't miss such a good thing, let's compete fairly, and I will pay 10,000 taels."

  The price soared all the way, making Joey dizzy.

  She took out such a palm-sized rough jade stone, but she didn't expect it to be so valuable.

   "Did you hear the voice just now? She is Zheng Yue, the city lord of Ji'an Mansion. Unexpectedly, she also came."

   Er Shui rubbed his chin, thinking about Zheng Yue's purpose for coming here.

  If it weren't for this rough stone, Zheng Yue probably wouldn't have made a sound.

  She didn't make a sound, so she didn't know she was coming here.

  What is it that Zheng Yue came to this Baibao Pavilion so secretly?

  She once heard that the young master of Baibao Pavilion would secretly come to Ji'an Mansion to handle errands. Could it be that the mysterious young master has arrived?

   And that young master is in that box right now?

   "The city lord?"

  Qiao Yi raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that even the city lord would like her rough stone, so she couldn't help but make a move.

   "Since this is the case, Lao Zhu, I won't be too polite. Fifteen thousand taels."

   "Haha, I thought there was nothing good this time, but I didn't expect it. I'm here to join in the fun, 20,000 taels."

   "The two of you are really very elegant, but this piece of Fu Lu Shou City Lord is going to decide, thirty thousand taels."

   Er Shui sighed when he heard 30,000 taels.

   "Tsk tsk tsk, once the big man in the box on the third floor opens his mouth, other people dare not open his mouth even if they want to take a picture. But that's fine, no matter who gets this thing, it will only flow into the palace in the future."

   "Why?"

   Qiao Yi was a little confused when he heard what Er Shui said.

  Why does this have something to do with the palace again?

  Didn't she just auction off a rough stone?

"After more than a year, it will be the 60th birthday of the old lady in the palace. The people on the third floor are all dignitaries. They are worried about what to give. If you take this piece of Fu Lu Shou raw stone, and find People carve the three stars of fortune, wealth and longevity, do you think the old lady will be unhappy after receiving it?"

  Er Shui smashed her mouth, it seems that this piece of Fu Lu Shou raw stone has no destiny for her.

  Then Zheng Yue talked about fair competition, but she was actually warning other people. I, Zheng Yue, have taken a fancy to this thing. If you want to join forces, then think about the consequences of angering me.

  She, Shen Bing, is not afraid of this city lord, but she is a person who is afraid of trouble and is also a very rational person.

   She wouldn't do such a stupid thing as getting herself into a lot of trouble for a dispensable thing.

   "This person is old, and he is nothing more than afraid of death. Those that symbolize auspiciousness and longevity are indeed my favourites."

  Joe nodded knowingly.

"I said Qiao Yi, tell me, do you still have this kind of rough stone? It doesn't have to be from Fu Lu Shou, as long as it is of this quality. Don't worry, I won't lose you a penny of the price. I will give you as much as you have auctioned Fu Lu Shou today."

   Er Shui had a feeling that this Joey would definitely give her a big surprise.

   "There is indeed one more piece. I think the color is pretty nice. I planned to carve pendants for my husbands."

  No one would dislike having less money, and she does have a smaller rough stone.

   It's just much bigger than this Fu Lu Shou stone, it can be as big as two Fu Lu Shou rough stones.

  It's that kind of emerald green, like a vibrant green leaf, it looks very nice.

  She still has an extra-large one, so she doesn't think much about this small piece of rough stone.

  If it can be exchanged for silver, it is not impossible.

   "Really, where is it? Can you let me see it?"

  Er Shui's eyes brightened upon hearing the words, if she has a high-quality rough stone, then she will be able to negotiate terms with the old lady at home.

   "At the inn, waiting for the auction to end, you can go back with me to get it."

  Actually, Joey can take it out now, but it is a bit big. If it is taken out from his arms, it will be too conspicuous and suspicious.

   "Alright, we'll pick it up after the auction is over."

   Er Shui nodded repeatedly.

  As the two of them finished speaking, the piece of Fu Lu Shou raw stone that Qiao Yi auctioned also came to an end.

   Finally, Zheng Yue, the lord of the city, bought it with 50,000 taels of gold.

   "50,000 taels of gold, you really made a lot of money. This Zheng Yue is really willing to spend the capital."

   Somehow, Qiao Yi heard a feeling of gloating from these words.

   "Let me tell you, this fifty thousand taels of gold is not a small amount. It is estimated that these golds may be her savings for most of her life."

   Er Shui clicked his tongue, secretly thinking that this Zheng Yue is really willing.

   "But if the old lady can be happy, maybe she will get more than a little bit."

   Qiao Yi didn't know much about the affairs of the court, but she had watched court dramas before.

   "That's true, but Zheng Yue is not stupid. If the gold goes out here, she has to find a way to get it back."

   "Is she going to attack me?"

   Qiao Yi raised his eyebrows, the lord of this city shouldn't do such a thing, right?

   "What are you thinking? She won't do anything to you. Although this woman is a bit out of touch, she is very feminine. Otherwise, do you think she, the city lord, would sit so securely?"

  Joy blinked her eyes, she couldn't understand!

   "Forget it, let me tell you that you don't understand either. Go and confirm one thing with me first. If it is true, I will give you a big gift today."

   Speaking of Dali, Er Shui laughed.

  Joy shivered uncontrollably.

  Why does she think it won't be a good thing?

   Ershui took Qiao Yi to the stairs on the third floor, then motioned Qiao Yi to wait, and then went up to the third floor.

   The update is complete today, I am asking for a recommendation ticket, please collect it.
