Chapter 335 A Ghostly Empress
Shui Ling was almost shocked by this information. She quickly took her hand back and did not dare to touch it again.
The two women who were discussing just now came over, and the sister-in-law said, "I bought it."
The man was so happy that he wanted to wrap it up.
The information in Shui Ling's mind was still emerging, "That damn thing is a nine-aperture jade, or is it stuffed underneath? How long do you think you can live if you eat with this?"
"Oh my god, it's so disgusting." Shui Ling said in her heart.
Nine-orificed jade, used by dead people, contains 2 eye plugs, 2 nose plugs, 2 ear plugs, 1 mouth plug, 1 cylinder plug, and 1 genital plug, nine in total.
The question is how to use eye plugs? Dig out the eyeballs and plug them with jade? No way.
Shui Ling shivered directly, and Gong Qianyu asked worriedly: "What's wrong?"
"No... that jade is a burial object." Shui Ling blurted out.
The woman who was about to pay for it paused and looked at Shui Ling in shock, "Girl, do you think this is a burial object?"
Shui Ling nodded, "Yes, and those are not chopsticks." Although one end is thick and the other is thin, they are different, and they are definitely not chopsticks.
The other woman was unhappy, "What nonsense are you talking about? Can such a big store still deceive people?"
The waiter was a little confused and asked: "What chopsticks?"
Shui Ling understood that this woman wanted to deceive her sister-in-law and trick her into buying dirty things to celebrate her mother-in-law's birthday, and then expose her plan to murder her mother-in-law.
In this way, any mother-in-law will think that this daughter-in-law is not good, and then this, this, that, that, the family property will fall into the hands of the other daughter-in-law's man.
Shui Ling smiled sarcastically, "This fat woman said they were chopsticks and tricked her sister-in-law into buying them for her mother-in-law. What do you think they are, little brother?"
The clerk's face turned red and he stammered: "This is ancient jade... used by the woman for burial, otherwise it would not be sold so cheaply. A pair only costs one hundred taels of silver."
The woman who wanted to pay gave Shuiling a deep bow, "Thank you, girl, I understand." After saying that, she turned around and left.
The fat woman glared at Shui Ling fiercely, then turned around and chased after him.
The man was a little embarrassed and put the jade article back.
Shui Ling said apologetically: "I'm sorry that you couldn't conclude the deal."
But the clerk shook his head and said with a smile: "No, no, I have to thank the girl. Otherwise, if she buys it back and causes some scandal, our shop will also be responsible."
It's rare to meet such a sensible guy. Shuiling wiped his gloves with the disinfectant wipes made by his mother and said, "Do you have any rough stones here?"
"Yes, it's on the third floor. If a girl likes betting on stones, she can go to the third floor and have a look." The clerk said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you." Shui Ling went to the middle counter to look at it again.
The surface of this counter is made of mesh with holes, so the items placed inside can be seen at a glance.
She saw that the thing that was shining was something of the same quality as the jade stopper just now. It looked like a crescent moon with a triangle in the middle. This was the jade in the mouth. There was also a woman squatting on it. She was different from the other two. She was in high spirits.
Look at the crowd.
Shui Ling pursed her lips and returned to the counter, "Brother, wrap this jade bag and bring me the other items."
"Ah...ok." The guy knew that she understood what it was, so he didn't say anything more.
After waiting for a while, I collected nine of them and put them in a box. A total of five hundred taels were used.
Just as Shui Ling was about to pay, Gong Qianyu took a photo of a banknote and put it on the counter.
The clerk looked at the banknotes and saw that it was an official banknote of 500 taels. It was not the depreciated banknotes issued by the bank. He smiled and said, "Take it."
Shui Ling held the box, and Gong Qianyu reached out to hold it, "I'll help you get it."
"Okay." Shui Ling smiled slightly, as if he was willing to spend money to do this.
The two went up to the third floor. There were many jade stones placed here. The largest one was half a person tall and as thick as two people hugging each other. They were placed at the entrance of the stairs.
Shui Ling looked curious and raised his hand to touch it.
"Whoever buys something worthless will be fooled and lose even his pants."
She lowered her head and looked at the price tag. One hundred thousand taels of silver was not cheap.
There are all men here, one by one, carefully selecting the rough stones on the ground. The feeling of handling them gently is like holding a beautiful woman and appreciating them carefully.
Shui Ling found that she couldn't squeeze in. They were all men. In ancient times, it was important to protect men and women, so she couldn't go too far.
Gong Qianyu saw his daughter-in-law's embarrassment and asked, "Which piece do you like? I'll get it for you."
Shui Ling looked around and pointed at a white stone in the right corner, "That one."
Gong Qianyu jumped directly over those people who were squatting and looking at the stone, reached out to grab the stone and jumped back from the ground, with a graceful and neat movement.
Shui Ling's eyes flashed with light, the little husband was so handsome.
Gong Qianyu noticed that his wife's eyes were shining when she looked at him, and her ears immediately turned red.
"The stone you want."
Shui Ling smiled and reached out to take it. She asked for it completely based on her intuition, so she didn't know what was in it.
Jade, like spiritual stones, has a shell that isolates it from prying eyes, so she can only rely on identification gloves.
The message from the gloves came to my mind, "There's an egg in the thing with a big head. It's not bad. It can earn you a meal."
The clerk in the shop came over and asked: "Miss, do you want to buy this rough stone?"
"Well, how much does it cost?" Shui Ling was completely curious now and wanted to know what the egg-sized core inside looked like.
The waiter said: "This is ten taels of silver each. If you want to cut it open, you need to pay extra."
"No more cutting, let's leave it at that." Shui Ling held the stone, and Gong Qianyu immediately gave him the money.
The ancient manual cutting machines were extremely slow, and Shui Ling had no patience to wait.
The two of them left the shop and went to other small shops to hang out. They actually spent nearly a thousand taels along the way. Shuiling looked at the sky and said, "Let's go back."
"Okay." Gong Qianyu nodded. Anyway, whatever the little daughter-in-law said was whatever she said.
When she returned to the Yamen, Shui Ling saw a maid waiting at the door when she entered. Her eyes lit up when she saw Shui Ling, "Miss is back. Today there is a man named Zhao who brought something to Miss. I have been waiting here."
."
Shui Ling frowned, "surnamed Zhao? Do you know anyone named Zhao?"
Gong Qianyu's body was already covered with things, and he couldn't free his hands.
Shui Ling personally took the box, took out a penny and rewarded it to the maid, who thanked her deeply and left.
Last time, the maid tricked me into the door and was kidnapped. I don’t know what happened this time.
The two of them arrived at Shui Ling's residence together. Gong Qianyu put the items on the table and breathed a sigh of relief, "Put them all away."
"Yeah." It was not convenient to collect them outside, but it would be fine when she came back. She put away the big and small bags, leaving the set of jade plugs and the things the maid gave her on the table.
Shui Ling first knocked on the box containing the jade plug and said, "Come out."
The female ghost inside was floating on top of the box, her face full of curiosity and not evil at all.
