"Mr. Nangong, you also have a letter."

Su Hui handed the two letters to Jiang Shuyue.

Nangong Zeyue took the letter from Jiang Shuyue's hand, "It's the handwriting of my uncle."

Nangong Zeyue took out the letter, read ten lines at a glance, and frowned slightly after reading it.

"What does my uncle mean by this? He asked me to send Shuisheng back to Black Pool Valley for Master to train."

Nangong Zeyue glanced at Su Hui, thinking that Su Huairen was not at home, so he didn't tell her that Master had asked him to hand over the house deed to the Su family.

Jiang Shuyue's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the hand holding the letter turned slightly pale.

Turning back to the house, after reading the letter, she let out a long breath of turbid air.

Very good, it is said that God has eyes, this time Jiang Jiaojiao was eliminated in the draft again.

The day before Lin Miaoshou returned to Beijing, Jiang Shuyue prepared several poisons for him and told Lin Miaoshou that she was a member of the Jiang family.

She asked Lin Miaoshou to inquire about the recent situation of the Jiang family after returning to Beijing, so that she would at least be prepared when she returned to Beijing.

If Jiang Jiaojiao really entered the palace and became a concubine, she would not be able to see Jiang Jiaojiao when she returned to Beijing.

Now it happened that after Jiang Jiaojiao failed to be selected, Jiang Jiaojiao, who was nearly 20 years old, was no longer eligible for the selection, and the Jiang family was already arranging a marriage for her.

After lunch, Xu Bo and Xu Dong went to the clinic, and Nangong Zeyue accompanied Jiang Shuyue to Biyuxuan.

Biyuxuan is the largest jade shop in Laiyang City, and they have their own processing workshop.

"Nangong Zeyue, I don't know much about the price of jade. Is Biyuxuan's reputation good?" Jiang Shuyue was a little nervous.

Fortunately, the original owner had seen good things. She could identify the quality of jade jewelry, but she didn't know much about unprocessed jade.

"It doesn't matter. I don't know much either. Biyuxuan has a very good reputation. If they dare to deceive you, I will let them donate money to the victims tonight." Nangong Zeyue raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and a hint of unruly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Shuyue was amused by him and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This guy is so simple and direct.

When the waiter in the store saw the two people entering the Jade Pavilion, he immediately greeted them with a smile and bowed and asked: "Dear guests, please come in. Are you looking for jewelry or ornaments? The store has just received some high-quality warm jade. Would you like to take a look?"

The waiter welcomed the two people into the VIP room and served tea and cakes.

Nangong Zeyue asked directly: "Do you have a processing workshop in the backyard of your shop?"

"Dear guests are quite familiar with our Jade Pavilion. If you want to go to the processing workshop to select jade yourself, it is also possible. If you want to customize the finished product, you will have to wait for some time."

The waiter made a gesture of invitation.

Jiang Shuyue and Nangong Zeyue looked at each other.

Jiang Shuyue asked the waiter: "Does your processing workshop accept jade blanks?"

"Our boss only sells jade jewelry and ornaments, and also buys back the jade blanks and various jade jewelry that have been opened, but he does not participate in gambling on jade."

"Then can you help me open the stone?" Jiang Shuyue originally did not intend to sell the stone blanks in the way of gambling on jade.

If the jade inside is well colored, I will lose money. If it is not opened, then it will be a loss for others.

"I will take you to the backyard. Our store has no precedent of helping people open jade. You can go and talk to the craftsmen face to face."

When I arrived at the processing workshop, I saw that the craftsmen were busy at their respective workstations.

Evacuating, hollowing, drilling, polishing, meticulously, only the sound of rustling could be heard in the room.

The waiter called a stone-opening craftsman over and explained the purpose of their visit.

"Master, help me see if this stone can open good jade?" Jiang Shuyue said as she took out a stone.

When she was leaving, she remembered that the jade-cutting craftsmanship here was not as good as that of modern times, and the speed of jade-cutting would be much slower, so Jiang Shuyue brought the stone with a green glow.

The craftsman took the stone and took a look at it, and walked to the wooden basin on the ground without saying a word.

He poured a few drops of water on the stone with his hand, and watched the speed of the water droplets spreading intently.

After a while, the man picked up another stone and knocked it a few times, and listened to the sound of the stone with his ears.

Just when Nangong Zeyue wanted to stop it with pain, the craftsman said to Nangong Zeyue and Jiang Shuyue: "There is jade in it, and you can only know its quality after it is cut."

The waiter just turned around and heard that jade could be cut, and his steps paused slightly.

"One tael of silver for the work, do you two want to cut it or not?" The craftsman handed the stone over without beating around the bush.

Jiang Shuyue said decisively: "Cut it."

Cutting jade is not like other things, and charging one tael of silver is not much.

The craftsman did not invite the two to sit down, but turned and walked towards the water stool.

After the servant left, a middle-aged man in silk soon came in.

Seeing Nangong Zeyue and Jiang Shuyue standing there, the man hurriedly stepped forward and saluted! "Don't be offended, the master doesn't know how to socialize. The two distinguished guests, please sit down and wait. This job will take an hour."

The shopkeeper brought a chair and a small table. After thanking the shopkeeper, the two sat down not far from the craftsman.

While the shopkeeper was out serving tea, Nangong Zeyue leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice to say, "How is it? The shopkeeper is quite sensible and knows that the raw stone cannot leave our sight."

"Well, not bad. From the details, I think the shopkeeper is also looking forward to it."

As soon as the two finished talking, the shopkeeper came in with tea and cakes, and said with a smile on his face, "If you find jade, can you two guests give it to Biyuxuan?"

Jiang Shuyue smiled lightly, "As long as the price is fair, we can negotiate."

The shopkeeper smiled warmly, "Please rest assured, my two guests, Biyuxuan is not a place that only does one-time business. After the jade blank is opened, it is priced by kilogram according to the quality."

"Sell by kilogram?"

Jiang Shuyue's eyes widened, secretly complaining in her heart, why is it sold by kilogram? In her previous life, she had seen documentaries on gambling on jade, and they were all sold by piece, and even a pile of stones were appraised together.

Nangong Zeyue took a sip of tea and asked slowly: "If it is top-quality jade, how much is the price per kilogram of the blank?

"Wait a moment, I will go and get you the price book of jade. The price of good jade is naturally not low."

Soon, the shopkeeper came back with a book.

Nangong Zeyue's attention was all on the craftsmen.

Jiang Shuyue opened the book, and each page inside not only wrote the type and price of jade, but also drew a cross-section of the jade.

The price of jade varies, ranging from a few thousand taels to more than 100,000 taels.

Jiang Shuyue flipped through it calmly, secretly smacking her lips in her heart.

It is said that gold has a price but jade is priceless, which is really true.

"You can take a look at the other book, which contains bracelets and jade belts processed and sold by our Biyuxuan. "The shopkeeper smiled and took out a booklet from the bottom and handed it to Jiang Shuyue.

Jiang Shuyue couldn't refuse, so she flipped through it casually. There were many varieties of jade bracelets on it, and the prices were also high and low.

A gold-inlaid jade hair crown attracted Jiang Shuyue's attention.

Su Jin and Su Nan used scholar's headbands to tie their hair.

Jiang Shuyue pointed to the gold-inlaid jade hair crown and a wall jade flowing cloud crown: "I want both of these hair crowns, please help me pack them up later.

Jiang Shuyue didn't finish her words, and she heard Nangong Zeyue excitedly shouting: "Miss Jiang, look, there is a crack."
