Anyone who ruins the reputation of "Xiaoyao" will be the enemy of "Xiaoyao" in the future.
As long as the Huang family still wants to survive in Shangjing, 'Xiaoyao' cannot be offended.
Now all the shopkeepers of the 'Xiaoyao' stone gambling den are saying this. Mr. Huang really can't afford to lose his money.
At this moment, he felt extremely regretful. Why did he ask the shopkeeper of the quarry to testify in the first place? Five thousand taels of silver was not a small amount. You must know that the Huang family has gradually fallen into decline over the years, especially when the Huang family arrived.
He was almost defeated in his hands.
In addition, Master Yu is estranged from them, and now five thousand taels is too much for them. Otherwise, he would not be competing for a stone in the stone gambling den, let alone give it to that person.
The stinky girl took advantage of the trap to make money.
"Did you team up to deceive me? That stone is so mysterious. It's impossible for you 'Xiaoyao' people to not know why you didn't stop it when we first set up the bet."
Mr. Huang can't control so much now. Asking him to come up with five thousand taels of silver is killing him. If he doesn't come up with the money, he will offend 'Xiaoyao'. In this case, he might as well ruin 'Xiaoyao''s reputation.
Let's see if they dare to touch him when the time comes.
It's just that he seems to have forgotten that he couldn't wait to agree in the first place.
Song Chen was overjoyed when he heard what he said, "I'm afraid you are all confused. The shopkeeper repeatedly confirmed the bet with us, but you couldn't wait to express that you had no objections and wanted to start the bet.
, I think you were very confident at that time, but now you can’t accept the reversal, I think you want to default on your debt!”
She never likes to waste time. Now that the gambling game has begun, there are witnesses, and the final result has come out, then there is no way she can let go of what should belong to Song Chen.
"I heard that you, 'Xiaoyao', don't just come in just because they want to. Every guest here should know the ins and outs. It shouldn't be difficult for Mr. Huang to come up with five thousand taels. You, the shopkeeper, are the witnesses.
Then this money will be used for your work."
Shopkeeper Fan of the Stone Gambling Field is now eager to beat Mr. Huang to death. This aunt is the Prince Regent's heartthrob. If they are unhappy with their "free life" and go back to cry to the Prince Regent, what will happen to them?
'Xiaoyao' can still be fine!
It's just that the shopkeeper is a little embarrassed. After all, this man's brother-in-law is the Prime Minister Yu Dongren... On one side is the regent, on the other side is the prime minister... They don't seem to be able to offend him.
You must know that the reason why their "Xiaoyao" can exist is that their relationship is well managed. If he offends the two of them now, he will have a big head.
Song Chen also guessed his worries, "You don't have to worry about Mr. Yu, it's just my ex-brother-in-law."
These words seemed to be a reassurance for Shopkeeper Fan, "Don't worry, Miss Song, the money will be sent to the girl's shop within three days. As for kowtowing and admitting your mistake, I'm afraid we can't help you by kneeling down to apologize."
Song Chen also understood in his heart that this is a business, and there is no way to force others to do this. "I understand this, and you don't have to worry about it."
"Thank you, Miss Song, for your understanding." Shopkeeper Fan quickly thanked her.
Song Chen glanced at him and suddenly said, "Did you already investigate me clearly when I came in?"
Although their attitude was polite from the moment they first came in, they became more respectful when the shopkeeper came over as a witness.
Song Chen could only think of one reason... Cang Xiuxuan.
They should know her relationship with Cang Xiuxuan.
Shopkeeper Fan smiled and said, "It was Fan who was blind before. Please don't take offense to Miss Song."
As soon as these words came out, Song Chen understood.
Okay, let's take advantage of it again.
After giving Mr. Huang a light look, Song Chen called Qiu An back and said, "Give me the red envelope."
Qiu An didn't ask much about the money. She took out the red envelope she had taken from the counter and handed it to Song Chen.
Song Chen also wrapped three red envelopes, the shopkeeper and the boy each gave 10 taels, and Master Jie Shi wrapped 20 taels.
"Thank you for your hard work today. Master Wang's craftsmanship is very good. I will come back to you next time. This is a small thank you."
"Thank you, girl. You are a lucky girl."
Master Wang was moved and thanked him.
Shopkeeper Fan nodded in agreement after hearing this. Isn't he lucky? The regent held him at the top of his heart.
Even this stone was wrong. So many people in their stone quarry had misjudged it. In the end, she picked it out and got the best black jade so quickly.
"Miss Song, what are your plans for this piece of black jade? If not..."
"I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Fan, I have plans for this piece of black jade."
Song Chen knew that Shopkeeper Fan wanted to recycle the previous ones. She didn't like the previous ones, but this was different. She wanted to make something for Cang Xiuxuan. When she saw the materials below, the first thing she thought of was him.
If it were someone else, Shopkeeper Fan would have lobbied more, but he didn't dare to do it with the one in front of him.
"I just asked casually. This piece of black jade is already of the highest quality. It would be great if Miss Song made it as a gift."
Judging from his perspective over the years, this piece of black jade must cost at least more than 10,000 taels. Even if they recycle it in the stone quarry, it will cost around 12,000 taels.
Song Chen just smiled and didn't answer his words.
After a while, when Lao Wang had completely processed the stone, Qiu An held it in his hand, and Song Chen called her to leave, "I have learned a lot today, so I'll go back first. Thank you, shopkeeper."
Shopkeeper Fan hurriedly ran a few steps back to the counter and presented the silver note, "This is the money I used to buy the girl two pieces of jade. If the girl wants to come in the future, she can just tell her name at the door."
This time she was holding Mrs. Ding's post, but obviously the stone quarry people wanted her to know that her own name was more useful than Mrs. Ding's.
"Thank you."
After leaving 'Xiaoyao', Song Chen did not go back directly, but went to Mr. Huang's place. While walking on the road, Song Chen suddenly thought of something.
"Do you think Mr. Huang is related to that Mr. Huang?"
Song Chen suddenly spoke, so shocked that Qiu An didn't know what to say. This Mr. Huang and Mr. Huang...
"Girl, the relationship you are talking about is one is Mr. Huang and the other is Mr. Huang? It sounds like there is only one word missing."
Qiu An's words made Song Chen roll his eyes almost to the sky.
"Shut up now!"
Not even a single word has come out yet. What is this?
Qiu An hid behind Song Chen and snickered. Her girl must have been worried too much, but she could connect all these things.
Facts have proved that Song Chen was really overthinking this. This old man Huang has nothing to do with that old man Huang. If there is really any relationship, it means they are both named Huang.
Sitting in Mr. Huang's simple house, Song Chen himself felt funny. The Huang family was pretty good before the family fell into decline, especially when Yu Dongren was behind it. If Mr. Huang really had something to do with them, it would be a good idea.
We wouldn't be in this situation now.
"Miss Song, these were carved today." Mr. Huang handed a few membership cards to Song Chen, "Hurry up once you are familiar with them. The remaining ones will probably be carved in about seven days."
"This is not urgent."
Song Chen, the previous member, all gave it. Song Chen, who joined later, still held back for the time being, "I came here today because I have other things I want to ask you for help with."
After speaking, Song Chen took the piece of jade from Qiu An's hand, opened the wrapping cloth, "Qiu An, wait for me outside."
Thinking of what he was going to say next, Song Chen's ears turned slightly red, and after thinking about it, he also pushed Qiu An out.
After Mr. Huang and Song Chen were the only ones left in the room, Song Chen continued to speak, "I also ask the old man to help me build a concentric lock."
According to legend, Yue Lao has a treasure, the Concentric Lock. As long as the love of a loved one can move Yue Lao, he can get the Concentric Lock given by Yue Lao, so that lovers can be united in love forever.
In some very spiritual places in modern times, there will be many concentric locks formed by lovers with the names of both parties engraved on them.
Mr. Huang has long been stunned by the piece of black jade in his hand. He has dealt with jade so much, and this is the first time he has seen this kind of top quality.
"Girl, this piece of jade is of the highest quality, and you are very sincere in making the concentric lock."
This is not a regular black jade, but its color is more interesting, dark green but very clear. Very few people would be willing to use this kind of material to make such things.
But for Song Chen, it was no longer a matter of sincerity. She actually wanted this concentric lock to make him feel at ease.
"Let's use the remaining materials to make a ring and two jade pendants."
Before coming here, Song Chen also estimated the size of the jade stone and knew that these things could be made.
Mr. Huang felt confident after seeing it, "Then I will make these things before I was a child."
There are still about ten days between now and Xiaonian. The old man knows that this is what Song Chen wants, so he naturally wants to make it as carefully as possible.
Song Chen nodded, "That's all thanks to the hard work, old man. As long as it's done before the year, it'll be fine."
She planned to give these things to Cang Xiuxuan as New Year's gifts.
Where did the old man hear Song Chen say, "It's not hard at all. I originally liked the old man. Miss Song gave me this opportunity and left food so that the old man wouldn't starve to death. The old man really can't afford the girl's gratitude."
ah."
"Old man, this is because you think too much. We are fair. You have earned these with your own ability. If you need anything, you must ask and tell the young man outside."
Mr. Huang thanked him again.
Before Song Chen left, he left some money for Mr. Huang. At first, Mr. Huang refused to accept it, and Song Chen was very helpless.
"The things you carved for me are very important to me. This is the reward you deserve. If you don't accept it, you will look down on my things."
Once these words came out, how could the old man dare to refuse?
