The reason why Han Yao agreed to bet Ling Chu with all her jewelry was because she was sure she would win.
She had been paying close attention to the calamity star when he was selecting the rough stones just now. He looked like a novice in his methods and didn't know how to choose at all.
In order to please Princess Dingyuan and show her filial piety, Han Yao went to a stone gambling master to learn the skill of stone gambling.
Ever since she learned how to gamble on stones, she always went to great lengths to pick out the original stones herself, dig out the jadeite, and then find someone to carve it into jewelry, jade pendants, etc., and give them to the prince and princess of Dingyuan, as well as the prince of Dingyuan.
And her filial piety really made Prince Dingyuan and his wife very happy. Everyone would praise them for having an extremely smart and filial daughter.
This earned Han Yao a lot of good reputation in front of those noble clans.
"What does the county owner want to bet on?"
"Since we are in the Jade Pavilion, it's natural to bet on stones. It just so happens that you and I have both bought rough stones. Let's each pick three pieces and bet against each other to see who can cut the jadeite of higher quality. How about winning two out of three games?"
The other party insisted on giving her so many gifts for free, and it was hard to refuse such kindness. She had no reason to refuse.
Ling Chu smiled and nodded, "Okay, since the county master wants to play, then I'll be more respectful than obey."
Han Yao's few rough stones were picked from the best quality batch in Cuiyu Pavilion, while the pile Ling Chu picked was the waste left after layers of screening, and it was almost impossible to get green.
Although Liu Dong's family felt that the stone bet between the two of them was unfair, they didn't want to offend the county owner and saw that the Taoist nun agreed, so they didn't have much to say.
Ling Chu took a look at the rough stone that Han Yao had chosen to bet against her, and felt secretly happy.
Han Yao was full of confidence in the few rough stones she carefully selected. In order to suppress the disaster star at the beginning, she picked the one with the best appearance.
In order to prevent the cutting man from damaging the jadeite inside, she carefully considered the direction of the lines while using charcoal strips to slowly draw lines on the surface of the original stone.
Han Yao was still studying carefully, but Ling Chu casually picked up the charcoal strip and painted it with a few strokes.
The people watching on the side shook their heads secretly when they saw her painting casually.
Liu Gui couldn't help but vaguely remind him, "Ling Xiangu, this is your first time betting on stones. Do you know the rules? As long as the rough stones are purchased in our Jade Pavilion, we can help cut them for free."
But how you cut it is up to you. If the guy in charge of cutting follows the line you drew, if the jade is cut into pieces, there will be no compensation, do you understand? "
Ling Chu smiled and nodded, "Thank you, boss, for informing me. I understand all the rules."
Han Yao sneered secretly, "Since Miss Ling has drawn the line, let's open your area first."
"That's what I meant." Ling Chu nodded, turned to the stone cutter and said, "Can you please help me cut this piece of material."
The guy didn't speak, nodded, placed the rough stone in place, and transferred his inner power to the big knife in his hand.
The hand rises and the knife falls.
No one present was surprised at all when they saw Bai Huahua's face.
Han Yao glanced at it, feeling proud that it was indeed a waste.
The disaster star is doomed.
There was no green result, so Ling Chu was not disappointed at all and signaled to the man to continue cutting.
Soon, the second cut was completed.
Cuiliu only glanced at it and immediately gloated, "You didn't get a green shot. You lost to our county leader in this game."
As soon as the maid's proud voice fell, the man just finished the third cut.
As the cut surface fell, a flash of emerald green flashed in the sunlight.
After being stunned for a moment, someone blurted out and exclaimed, "Ah, it's green."
Cuiliu's proud smile froze, and she retorted loudly without thinking, "Impossible!"
Han Yao paused in drawing the line, frowned and turned her head, seeing the emerald green.
The charcoal stick in his hand snapped with a crisp sound and broke.
Although he was angry, he couldn't get angry, so he could only comfort himself. The disaster star didn't know how to gamble with stones at all, maybe he just relied on his green skin.
Liu Gui and the others crowded around with cheers. The Taoist nun cut the jadeite out of the scraps, which really surprised them.
Look at the clear and emerald water head, and the variety is actually not bad.
Ling Chu smiled and nodded, "Looks like you're pretty lucky. Could you please cut the remaining sides open?"
"Okay." Seeing that he had cut out the jade, the taciturn man rarely spoke back.
Run the internal force again, and the cut will be finished after a few swipes.
Lingchu's rough stone was originally slightly larger than a basketball. After cutting it, only about one-third of the jadeite was contained.
Although it is not very big, this jade has clear water head and beautiful color.
Not to mention the surprise of others, Liu Gui also looked surprised. He did not expect that among the pile of rough stones that he regarded as scraps, there would be fish of such good quality that slipped through the net.
Ling Chu washed the jade with water and took a look, feeling quite satisfied.
Yong Fuxiang's boss Zhao couldn't help but praise, "Ling Xiangu is pretty lucky."
Being able to cut out hibiscus seeds from that pile of scraps made him envious of his luck.
Ling Chu smiled modestly, "It's not really good stuff, I just picked it up by luck."
Zhao Dongjia originally wanted to ask her if this piece of jade was for sale, but Han Yao took the lead and said to the waiter, "Miss Ling's cut is done. Could you please help me cut my piece?"
Seeing that her face was not very good, Zhao Dongjia hurriedly swallowed his words.
Seeing the clerk preparing to cut, Cuiliu hurriedly warned, "Be careful and don't cut it badly. Our county master must have jade in this area."
The guy looked at her expressionlessly, raised the knife, and cut along the line drawn by Han Yao.
As the epidermis was cut open, Cuiliu shouted excitedly, "County Lord, it's green..."
"This crystal clear green is actually cut out of top-grade jade."
"High-quality jadeite, the county master's stone gambling skills are really impressive."
…
Listening to everyone's compliments, Han Yao smiled modestly on the outside, but she was extremely proud of herself on the inside.
She had worked hard to study the stone gambling skills. She was not like someone else, she was just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.
After hearing everyone's compliments, Han Yao was satisfied and asked the waiter to continue cutting.
"Be careful, this is high-grade jade, don't cut it into pieces..." Cuiliu warned the clerk with a look of arrogance.
But mid-sentence, I suddenly got stuck.
"This... is gone?"
Everyone was shocked when they saw the man cut out the white stone with his second knife.
Han Yao's expression changed, she rushed over quickly, picked up the basin next to her and poured it over.
After being washed away by the water, the white flowers were more prominent, making her face even more blue and black.
Han Yao was going crazy. She didn't want to believe that the jadeite she had just cut was gone.
He calmly asked the man to continue cutting.
The guy didn't say anything, he raised the knife and dropped it.
The third knife, no green.
The fourth knife was still a white stone.
…
The more serious it was, the uglier the faces of Han Yao and his servant became.
A rough stone of nearly fifty kilograms was cut into a bunch of small squares the size of mahjong.
Everyone present looked at each other, no one dared to speak for fear of irritating the county leader.
This high-quality jadeite was only green because of its skin. The county owner was afraid that he would vomit blood.
