As one of the big guys in Yun Province, Vice Province Li doesn't know anything about fortune telling, but he doesn't know anything about stone gambling.
Jadeite has been mined for hundreds of years. Since the Ming Dynasty, jadeite raw stones have been presented to the emperor as tribute. However, as one of the birthplaces of jade culture, the saying that a gentleman is gentle and as gentle as jade makes the words of mutton-fat jade produced in Hotan A collection of thousands of favors.
However, jade with its cold light was not liked by people, even in the early Qing Dynasty.
As the output of Hotan jade decreased, jade gradually appeared in the eyes of the royal nobles, and it was the Queen Mother of the late Qing Dynasty who pushed jade to its peak.
Since then, stone cutting has been a very solemn ceremony.
Not only do you need to bathe and change clothes, but also perform three animal sacrifices and three kowtows and nine bows to pray for the blessings of your ancestors.
In modern times, although these rituals have been simplified, when cutting a stone that is regarded as a top quality stone by stone gamblers, you also need to choose an auspicious day. Whether you can bet on high-grade jadeite depends on both God's will and luck... ....
The word "gamble" tells the story of many stone gamblers' heartache, tears, wealth and lives.
However, in one day, imperial green and royal purple were cut out, two kinds of exquisite jade, which was simply unheard of.
This guy is blessed with great luck.
This was Deputy Governor Li's judgment of Ye Qing.
Deputy Governor Li smiled at the useless little cotton-padded jacket and said, "I heard that the business of Betting Stone Shop is not going well during this period."
Li Xinyue's pretty face turned bitter: "Not only is it not very good, it is simply a bad god staying in the store. For more than a month, thousands of stones have been sold, and not even a piece of oil has been cut out. Until now, the gamblers Wei Liao, if this continues, Gambling Stone Shop will be closed down."
Vice Governor Li smiled and nodded: "So, Ye Qing cut two stones in a row to help you take off your bad reputation and bring your business back to life."
Li Xinyue nodded affirmatively: "Business is much better today. Stone gamblers who didn't want to buy at first are rushing to sell stones, as if every stone can be cut into imperial green or royal purple. Those friends of my younger brother , I also bought more than ten yuan in one go, but it’s a pity...”
"So, it's not that your stone gambling shop can't cut imperial green, it's that your stone gambling shop doesn't have good stones." Vice Governor Li said seriously: "After the Great Emperor Group is sealed, you will no longer have channels to purchase smuggled stones. , and what your uncle supplies is just some kilograms of material. This kind of material is specially sold to tourists, not to stone gamblers. "
Li Xinyue nodded affirmatively: "Yes, that's the truth. During this period, I also asked people to go to Tengchong and Yingjiang, but as you know, Dad, the smuggling business is mainly for regular customers, and there are no experienced hands to take care of them. , you won’t be able to get in.”
"You didn't go to Xue Shanguo?"
"I've gone." Li Xinyue said with a look of reluctance: "But my uncle only has these channels, and there is a war in Kachin State, so my uncle dare not risk entering Kachin State to collect stones. This time, Dehong Prefecture is under military control. , even more useless.
If the war continues and if Dehong Prefecture remains under military control, the stone gambling business will no longer be possible. "
Vice Governor Li smiled and shook his head: "Back then, Mu Jiajun monopolized the entire jadeite business in Kuncheng, and no one dared to compete with him, so he cut off your supply of goods and turned you into his distributor.
And you are too lazy to take the initiative to find channels, so after the Great Emperor Group was sealed, your business was in trouble. "
Li Xinyue's bright eyes were full of hope: "Abba means Ye Qing..."
Deputy Governor Li thought deeply: "I don't know if he can help you find a channel, but just because I don't know doesn't mean others don't know!"
Li Xinyue is also a girl with a deep heart. She burst into laughter and said, "My father first asked Xiao Yu about Ye Qing's background, but I couldn't help but feel ashamed..."
"There is a saying in the stone gambling circle, which is to say it when you see it, don't tell it." Deputy Governor Li shook his head and smiled: "Girl, you are fascinated. I don't believe it. You don't want to know?"
Li Xinyue was stunned, and then looked at him in shock: "Abba, you either think that Ye Qing gave me a piece of imperial green, or that he fell in love with me!"
Vice Governor Li shook his head: "I really haven't thought about it that way. The Second Young Master Song is a peerless beauty, and she also has military exploits. If she weren't several years older than Ye Qing, the Song family would only recruit her." Son-in-law, if you don’t marry a daughter-in-law, even if you want to, I’m afraid you won’t have the chance.”
Li Xinyue insisted: "I really haven't thought about it."
Vice Governor Li said meaningfully: "You can think about it."
Li Xinyue stood up, twisted Miaoman's body, stamped her feet and said, "Abba..."
Deputy Governor Li laughed and scolded: "Look, your temper comes out as soon as you say this, but have you ever thought about it, even if you are not allowed to get married, you are still a big girl and it's time to get married.
To be honest, there are so many children of high-ranking cadres in the province who seem to be nothing more than mediocre. Even if there are two shrewd people occasionally, but there is no one in the government, they will not go too far.
Abba is not boasting, but you are considered a proud daughter of heaven. For you to marry these yamen is tantamount to marrying down..."
Li Xinyue looked at him in surprise: "Don't worry about it anymore."
There was a hint of loneliness on Deputy Governor Li's face: "Back then, just a joke at the wine table made you waste time, but now, Mu Zhong has gone..."
"Going down!" Li Xinyue looked at him suspiciously: "Didn't he say he was going to Renda to be the chairman?"
"Since ancient times, there have been people who like to be officials." Deputy Governor Li looked at her seriously: "This is definitely not a lie. Mu and Song lived in two places, but they were actually one family.
Therefore, General Mu passed away many years ago, but Mu Zhongzhi had a smooth career. In twenty years, he grew from a small official to a high official in the border area. This was all the result of the strong support of General Song who cared about his old friend.
But does General Song know that the Mu family went against the grain in Yun Province and became the emperor of the country?
Maybe you know or you don't know, after all, General Song is old and has been living in seclusion in Nanshan to retire. "
Li Xinyue's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and she didn't need a heavy hammer to play the drum. Abba's meaning was already clear.
Perhaps General Song didn't know what the Mu family was doing in Yun Province, but the top brass must know. Therefore, he just followed the trend and transferred President Song to Yun Province.
This is to use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son.
Moreover, they were worried that Mr. Song would be assimilated by the Mu clan, so first Ye Liang, then Ye Wu, and when he took up his new post, a big boss from Kyoto came with him.
Therefore, now the people in Mu Zhongzhong have become President Song's people.
And the Mu system has arrived...
"President Song took office for three reasons." Deputy Governor Li said with a smile, "But the person who set the fire is the young man of the Ye family who is giving you the imperial green."
Li Xinyue looked at him in shock.
"Call Xue Xiaoyu. Maybe because of discipline, she won't reveal too much to you, but you just need to ask one thing clearly." Deputy Governor Li looked at him deeply: "The Mu family is in northern Myanmar Does the consecutive defeats have anything to do with him?"
