Taoist help me live forever

Chapter 16 Jade Award
half a month later.

The Wangfu's action against the Sun Family Medicine Store has not yet begun, but the news that Guangnan County has been occupied by the rebels has spread widely.

For a while, the people were boiling, and the market was full of discussions about the rebellious army. Even Yulan, who had never left the gate, asked Yu Xian what the rebellious army was like with some interest.

But in terms of the overall atmosphere, everyone is relatively relaxed, more of a mentality of watching the excitement.

After all, Guangnan County and Changning County are separated by thousands of miles, no matter how powerful the rebel army is, they will not be able to fight for a while.

The other is that no one thinks that the chaos will become a climate.

The Yue Kingdom has 32 counties, [-] vassal kings, and more than a million soldiers. No matter how you look at it, Guangnan County can't afford too much trouble.

The most affected are probably those merchants who want to go south.

At this time, the dissemination of information basically relied on horses and boats.

The southern waterway here is officially blocked, and the cargo ships that have not received the news are still coming from all over the place, and finally they are all blocked in the port.

The two brothers who talked with Yu Xian before were considered lucky. They sold the goods to Baibaolou early at a fair price without much loss.

But more merchants can only keep their goods at the port, and if they stay for one more day, they will lose one more day, and some goods that are not easy to store will drop in price every day.

At this time, they can either resist and gamble, betting that the imperial court can suppress the rebellion immediately, and then they can continue to go south. When the war in the south subsides and supplies are urgently needed, they may still make a lot of money.

Or you can only sell the goods at a low price, and you can save as much as you can.

At this time, the comparison is who sells faster.

All of a sudden, the price collapsed, and the goods that were originally worth ten taels of silver could be taken away for one tael at this time, just to clear the warehouse and leave. With such actions, the market will continue to decline.

The merchants who went south were unlucky, but the various commercial firms in Changning City were full of food.Especially the leader like Baibaolou swallowed countless goods at ultra-low prices in a short period of time.

Frequent transactions led to a boom in the market, and many small businessmen in the surrounding areas rushed into Changning City on their own initiative, hoping to get a share of the feast.

The whole Changning City became lively.

And amidst this false prosperity, the Jade Awards hosted by Baibaolou finally kicked off.

this day.

Yu Xian took Magnolia and 5000 taels of silver in his pocket, like a rich son who came to visit the mountains and rivers, and walked leisurely all the way to Baibaolou.

As for Chen Yi, he was still practicing assiduously and did not want to go out.

According to her words, in two days, she will be able to draw Qi into her body.But she said this sentence ten days ago.

Two days later, two days later, I don't know how many more days there will be.

Seeing her pious cultivation appearance, Yu Xian almost couldn't resist giving her a spirit stone to give her a push.

However, thinking that there was a dull Yulan by her side, and her two spirit stones might not help her sense the success of the spirit energy, so she put out this thought again.

He was reluctant to give Lingshi, but this time he came over, he could choose a few pieces of jade with a little more spirit to give to her.

At the entrance of the first floor of Baibao Building, there was a turbulent crowd. At a glance, there were all black heads, and the noise almost broke through the sky.

"Wow, so many people."

"Grandpa, are we going to squeeze in?"

Yulan hugged Yu Xian's arm tightly, her face was a bit timid, but her eyes were eager to try.

After all, she is just a teenage girl who likes to be lively by nature.

"No, let's go another way."

Yu Xian patted Yulan's hand and walked to another entrance.

There are few people here, and there are guards from Baibaolou lined up on both sides, all of them are burly and fierce, and they only hang a sign saying that strangers should not enter.

A large chamber of commerce like Baibaolou will naturally have a VIP channel, and an invitation letter is required to enter.

Yu Xian didn't have an invitation letter, but he had a token from the palace.

Fuwang Mansion is the sky of Changning City.

The token in his hand is enough to let him unimpeded most of the sites in the city, which can be regarded as a hidden benefit.

After Yu Xian showed the token, he was notified inside, and immediately a tall waitress came out.

The waitress looked like she was in her early twenties, with an ordinary appearance, a flat figure, a high ponytail, and a capable and refreshing breath.

"Hello, Master Yu, Guanshi Liu really can't come out today, so he can't come to receive you immediately, he asked me to say sorry to you.

My name is Lan Xiaohe, and I will serve you next time.

There are just a few pieces of jade in this exhibition that can meet your requirements. Would you like to go and see them now? "

"It's rare that Guanshi Liu still remembers my request. Thank you for me. You can just take me there."

Yu Xian's first impression of the waitress was very good, this Guanshi Liu was very good at selecting candidates, and he didn't use a vase to fool him.

"Okay, please come with me."

Lan Xiaohe's attitude was respectful, her posture was standard, and she bowed slightly all the way, showing good professional qualities.

Soon, a group of three came to the exhibition hall on the second floor.

Compared to the noisy and crowded first floor, this place is obviously much more spacious.

The hall was divided into booths, filled with jade and large stones of different colors and shapes, and people came forward to negotiate prices from time to time.

The way the price is negotiated is also very interesting, where the two bid with their hands tucked into their sleeves so that outsiders cannot hear or see their price.

There were also people gathered in a crowd, and from time to time there would be a cheer from the middle, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

"What are they doing? It looks very lively." Yu Xian asked.

Lan Xiaohe glanced at it, and explained: "They are betting on stones. Betting on stones is to bet on raw jade ore, and people will bid for the stones on the spot. Once there is good jade, the price will rise sharply, but if there is no jade, it will cost money." no return.

Therefore, stone gambling also has the reputation of one knife heaven and one knife hell. "

Betting on rocks?Isn't this the first choice for the protagonist in ancient urban supernatural novels to make a fortune?

Yu Xian became interested, his spiritual sense should see through the stone.

But right now, his magic weapon is more important.

Soon, Lan Xiaohe led Yu Xian and the two to a jade exhibition stand.

"My lord, I wonder if this piece of jade meets your requirements?"

Lan Xiaohe pointed to a huge irregular piece of light green jadeite placed in the middle of the booth. It was roughly estimated to be three feet square, that is, a whole piece of jade about one meter in length, width and height.

There are many cotton-like impurities in it, but such a large amount is already rare.

Yu Xian didn't have much research on jade, but he thought that such a large piece of jade would be enough for him to refine an embryo.

So he asked, "What's the price of this jade?"

The owner of the stall was a burly man with a beard. Hearing this, he came up and stretched out his wide cuffs, signaling to bargain.

Yu Xian waved his hand and said, "I don't know how to do this, so you can just ask for a price?"

The bearded man was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Lan Xiaohe who was at the side.

If this person hadn't been brought by the people from Baibaolou, he would have already started chasing him away.

Lan Xiaohe stepped forward: "My lord, this is a rule in this business. They don't want others to hear their reserve price, which will cause them losses. Why don't I translate for you."

"Alright." Yu Xian said indifferently.

So Lan Xiaohe took the initiative to reach out her hand into the cuff of the bearded man, and the two began to bargain.

Not long after, Lan Xiaohe withdrew her hand and whispered in Yu Xian's ear:
"My lord, he said that the minimum price for this piece of jade is ninety-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty taels of silver. It's a good fortune."

Yu Xian shuddered on the spot, his face turned pale.

"What a steal!"

He spent less than 3000 taels of silver in the first six months of his stay in the mortal world, and 10 taels was enough for him to go against his heart and take a risky move.

Thinking of this, a fierce light appeared in his eyes.

Grab the shit!

"My lord! This is Baibao Building."

Lan Xiaohe immediately panicked, as if she could see Yu Xian's careful thinking.

"Forget it, let us save face."

Yu Xian waved his hand, he was just thinking about it, he also thought about sleeping with the princess.

Generally speaking, he is still a good and law-abiding boy, and it is fine to accept a small bribe at ordinary times, so how can he have the evil intention of killing people and seizing treasures.

Walking too much at night is easy to see ghosts.

Wanting to snatch good things when they see them, and forming this simple and rude bad habit, if one day encounters an old cunt, it will end in death.

After all, except for a few lucky ones, most of the people who can own treasures have good strength.

He has no worries about eating and drinking now, he has a high status, and he has a great way of cultivation, but it is disrespectful to Goldfinger to take even the slightest risk.

Yu Xian was about to ask if Baibaolou had any loan service. Everyone lived under the lord's hand, and they were considered colleagues. The interest should be cheaper.

"Bah! Pretending to be a waste of uncle's time."

The bearded man had long been annoyed with this rich young master who didn't understand the rules and put on airs.

Seeing that he was frightened by 10 taels now, he felt that it was just an embroidered pillow, so he couldn't help but spit, then turned and returned to his position.

"He pooh me?"

Yu Xian was stunned, as if "he didn't know I would get mad".

Seeing this, Lan Xiaohe almost couldn't catch her breath, knowing that something was wrong, she was so anxious that she almost cried.

"My lord, don't be impulsive, otherwise the manager won't be able to spare me, and I apologize to you on his behalf.

Besides this piece of material, there are other places, I will show you to have a look. "

"Why are you apologizing for him?"

Yu Xian looked at the bearded man and called out, "Hey, bearded man, are those stones around you for sale?"
