In the most quiet and elegant box of Shanbo Gambling House, the incense burner is filled with fine agarwood, and there are exquisite seven-color pastries on the desk. The window is half open, and the refreshing wind blows the hair of the two people in the room.
Young Master Tang Qi was sitting in the main seat, Jiang Chou was sitting in the guest seat, and Aunt Mei didn't seem to be here either.
"I didn't expect that in the small Qinghe County, there would be such a great figure as Daoist Director Xiao Jiang." Mr. Tang Qi sighed with a smile, "The so-called world is very big, and it is indeed worth coming out to see it."
Jiang Chou guessed that the identity of the person in front of him must be very noble, but he did not use thousands of books to confirm the truth.
If the man who called himself Tang Qi Gong hadn't come to help just now, although he himself should have been able to subdue Bu Si, the scene would not have been as beautiful as the plum blossom, and Bu Si would not have given up the struggle so quickly.
Since others have shown goodwill to you, you should naturally also show basic respect.
However, Jiang Chou didn't know how to deal with this conversation with Tang Qi Gongzi, which was obviously a polite conversation.
He really doesn't have much social experience. In the past ten years, apart from going down the mountain with his old master to exorcise evil spirits, he has communicated more with people in the past few days, but they are all about matters, and there are very few such twists and turns.
He felt that it would be impolite not to answer, so he was silent for a moment, looked down at the precious Longjing in his hand, and said seriously: "Good tea!"
Young Master Tang Qi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
He saw that Jiang Chou didn't know how to greet him politely, but for some reason he said these two words, clearly trying to force himself to greet him.
Although a bit convoluted, this is undoubtedly a goodwill signal.
Jiang Chou expressed kindness to him, and Master Tang Qi felt that this was a very happy thing.
If you are happy, then smile.
"Taoist Xiao Jiang is indeed an interesting person. Today, if for no other reason, I will make you my friend, Taoist Xiao Jiang!" Young Master Tang Qi said.
Even if it's not for anything else, there is still something else.
Jiang Chou put down his tea cup and looked directly at Mr. Tang Qi, waiting for him to speak.
"Whether you believe it or not, the first purpose of inviting Taoist Master Xiao Jiang here is indeed to get acquainted with him."
"For someone like me, it's very important to get to know more people."
Young Master Tang Qi suppressed his smile and said seriously: "As for the second thing, it is the plum blossom spiritual stone that Daoist Director Xiao Jiang just opened."
The plum blossom spirit stone was currently placed in Jiang Chou's close-fitting clothes. Jiang Chou could even feel the warm temperature of the spirit stone on his chest.
He remembered that the mature woman standing behind the seventh master of Tang Dynasty seemed to practice Taoism related to plum blossoms.
"Do you want to buy the Plum Blossom Spirit Stone?" Jiang Chou asked, somewhat confused.
Tang Qi Gongzi nodded: "That's exactly it."
Jiang Chou thought carefully and prepared to make a friendly price.
If I send the plum blossom spirit stone to the auction house in the county, I should be able to sell it for about sixteen thousand taels. Excluding the intermediate fees required by the auction house, I will get about fifteen thousand taels.
But Young Master Tang Qi had just helped him. Jiang Chou was a person who valued friendship and loyalty. Naturally, if he wanted to sell it to Young Master Tang Qi, he would not charge him the original price.
Hmm, thirteen thousand taels seems okay?
If it's 12,000 taels...is the price reduction too much?
What if... then do you still want to sell it?
"Haha, the four characters "Xiaojiang Daochang" are too long, how about I call you Brother Jiang?"
Young Master Tang Qi said: "Since I want to ask Brother Jiang to buy spiritual stones, I naturally won't let Brother Jiang lose too much."
Jiang Chou breathed a sigh of relief, he should be able to sell it for thirteen thousand taels.
Young Master Tang Qi stretched out a hand: "For fifty thousand taels, how about buying Brother Jiang's plum blossom spirit stone?"
"If it's fifty thousand taels, it's not impossible... huh? Wait, how many more!?"
Jiang Chou trembled all over, widened his eyes, and looked at Mr. Tang Qi across from him in disbelief.
Are you crazy or am I crazy?
"How...how much?" Jiang Chou stretched his neck and asked again weakly.
In the private room, Aunt Mei listened to the conversation between the two, silently raised her hand to her forehead, sighed, and said softly: "Young Master's old habit has happened again..."
"Fifty thousand taels!" Mr. Tang Qi slapped his palm on the table with a bang. He also leaned forward with his upper body and stretched his neck forward.
The two people's buttocks left the seats, their necks stretched longer and longer, and their faces got closer and closer to the top of the document...
Jiang Chou was so close that he could even see the fine hair on the handsome face of the seventh son of Tang Dynasty. It was so cute...
Huh!
Something strange has slipped in...
Jiang Chou was all alert. He leaned back and sat on the back of his chair. He said, "I, I just asked Boss Cui that the market price of this plum blossom spirit stone is only fifteen or six thousand taels. What do you think?"
, your fifty thousand taels...are they fake?"
Young Master Tang Qi also sat back on the chair and smiled slightly: "Boss Cui is right. If the plum blossom spirit stone is in the hands of others, it is indeed only worth fifteen thousand taels. With my means, I can even buy it for ten thousand taels."
.But if it’s the plum blossom spirit stone in Brother Jiang’s hand, in my eyes, fifty thousand taels is too little!”
Jiang Chou frowned and didn't understand: "The plum blossom spirit stone in my hand is very special?"
Young Master Tang Qi looked into Jiang Chou's eyes and said seriously: "The plum blossom spirit stone in Brother Jiang's hand is not the most important thing, but... Brother Jiang, you."
Jiang Chou: "..."
You're talking more and more strangely!
If you want to buy me... I have to consider whether fifty thousand taels is worth it!
"Haha, this is the third thing I invited Brother Jiang here for." Mr. Tang Qi picked up a piece of green pastry and put it into his mouth, chewed it carefully and swallowed it before continuing, "I have taken a fancy to you, Brother Jiang.
I would like to ask Brother Jiang to help me pay attention to something."
"The extra thirty or forty thousand taels from these 50,000 taels can be regarded as my first support payment to Brother Jiang."
Aunt Mei came out of the inner room, frowned and said: "Sir, this matter is of great importance, outsiders... it is better for them to know less."
"You and I have personally inspected those batches of spirit stones, but neither of us could find this plum blossom spirit stone. But Brother Jiang was able to extract it from the blue flow stone. This shows that Brother Jiang has some kind of exploration ability that neither you nor I have. I
I like Brother Jiang very much, why can’t I take a gamble?”
Young Master Tang Qi was answering Aunt Mei, but he kept looking at Jiang Chou. Thinking of his next words, there was a hint of mockery in his smile.
"As for the matter itself... there is no owner of that thing. Anyone with ambitions in the world should be able to come and fight for it. What's the point of 'outsiders'? It's just that those old guys don't want the treasure to fall into the hands of others.
It’s just so obscure…”
"Sir, be careful what you say." Aunt Mei's face was slightly stern.
Young Master Tang Qi shook his head and laughed at himself: "The people in the family will only tell the eldest brother and the second brother the news, as if the treasure should belong to one of them."
"I'm not very interested in treasures, and I don't think a playboy like me is worthy of being recognized as its owner. But when I think about the expressions of the eldest brother and the second brother, everything should belong to them, and I feel very unhappy..."
Aunt Mei's face changed drastically. If anyone with a heart heard such words, it would be very difficult for Mr. Tang Qi to leave the family!
"Sir, stop talking!" Aunt Mei stepped forward, her plain face full of worry, and advised.
However, Tang Qi Gongzi just listened to Jiang Chou in front of him and asked with a faint smile:
"Brother Jiang, are you interested... in finding a treasure?" This chapter has been completed!
