One of the girls in a goose-yellow dress suddenly shouted excitedly: "By the way, did you know? I heard that Miss Qin Yuhan from the Qin family will also attend this stone gambling ceremony held by the four major families!"
After hearing the new revelations, everyone's attention immediately focused on the girl, and then they all asked: "Really or not, will Qin Yuhan also go?"
"I just heard it, it's not necessarily true. Don't be so excited, okay qaq!" The girl in a goose-yellow dress was frightened by the gossipy eyes of the crowd, and she no longer dared to speak for fear of
Once again, he was surrounded by people and questioned.
Seeing this, the other girls found it a bit boring, so they gave up in twos and threes.
The girl in the goose-yellow dress breathed a small sigh of relief and showed a weird smile.
At the same time, Meng Yan was taking Duoer to select rough stones one by one.
Duo'er looked at the dazzling array of jade wool in front of her, and her eyes couldn't help but light up.
Meng Yan didn't plan to use his abilities this time. He wanted to see how well he understood the selection of raw materials.
Watching pieces of jade being cut out, Meng Yan felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
This feeling is amazing.
Meng Yan had heard his grandfather say more than once that in the art of stone gambling, the most taboo thing is to be impetuous. Once you are impetuous, you will definitely lose.
Meng Yan didn't know what caused his mentality.
Maybe it's because he has learned the art of stone betting from his grandfather so well in the past few years.
Meng Yan couldn't help but think of when he was a child. At that time, his grandfather always liked to hold him on his knees and untie him little by little with the woolen material under his nose. Every time he saw his grandfather's excited expression after untying it, Meng Yan would always
I couldn't help but smile knowingly.
But as time goes by, this memory gradually becomes blurred.
Meng Yan always thought that this memory had been forgotten long ago, but now it came back to him again.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that he really couldn't forget it.
Grandpa's words are still lingering in my ears, but unfortunately... I will never have a chance again.
Grandpa must be very disappointed. His beloved grandson is so unlucky that he can't even afford an ordinary piece of jade!
Meng Yan couldn't help but sigh. He turned his gaze to Duo'er aside, and saw Duo'er's bright eyes shining with curiosity, staring at the rough stone in front of him.
For a moment, Meng Yan saw himself in a trance when he was a child.
"Duoer, if you like it, tell daddy and he will buy it for you to play with!" Meng Yan looked at Duoer with a gentle smile, just like his grandfather looked at his past self.
"Wow...Dad, Dad, look, this stone is so beautiful!" Duo'er suddenly exclaimed, and the little girl's innocent voice touched Meng Yan's heart.
Meng Yan came back to his senses after hearing this and turned his head to look in Duo'er's direction.
I saw Duo'er pulling on the corner of her clothes with an excited face, pointing to one of the red rough stones that was about thirty centimeters long.
"Do you like this, Duo'er?" Meng Yan asked calmly.
When Duo'er heard this, she immediately nodded happily: "This piece is good, daddy, cut it off for me and give it to me as a gift, okay?"
"Of course it's no problem, my lovely little princess!" Meng Yan said dotingly.
"That's great! Thank you dad, kiss daddy!" Duo'er smiled excitedly and suddenly threw herself on Meng Yan's face and gave her a "squeak".
Meng Yan didn't pay much attention to the drool on his face, and held Duo'er steady. He smiled slightly when he saw his daughter's excitement, and then looked at another place.
The stone was about the size of a fist, red in color, and covered with fine cracks, as if it would break if the wind blew it.
"Eh...Dad, look over there, this stone has cracks!" Duo'er discovered a new rough stone.
Meng Yan looked in the direction of her finger.
It was a giant piece of ice jade with a thickness of two centimeters. It was translucent throughout, with faintly visible cracks of the same depth. It looked very ugly.
For some reason, Meng Yan always felt that the stone seemed familiar.
"Eh? Dad, do you think there is really something good in this stone? Look at it, there are so many cracks on it!" Duoer asked curiously when she saw Meng Yan turning his head and staring at the rough stone.
"I don't know, but I'll find out soon after I buy it and open it to see what's inside?" Meng Yan replied with a smile, took Duo'er's hand, and walked to the cashier to pay.
After paying the payment, the father and daughter immediately asked the stone-unlocking master in the store to unwrap the rough stone directly.
Master Jie Shi was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at Meng Yan a few more times.
Meng Yan smiled at him: "Can you please hurry up?"
"Okay!" Seeing Meng Yan's confident look, Master Shi Jie couldn't help but think highly of him. He nodded, took out his scalpel and began to understand Shi's work.
The stone-crackling master was skilled in his movements, and it took only a moment to unravel the giant rough stone bit by bit from the cracks.
A touch of green was exposed through the unfinished skin.
Suddenly, everyone present held their breath in unison.
Looking at the rough stone in front of him, Meng Yan suddenly felt his heart beating violently.
He clenched his fists nervously, a thin layer of sweat forming on his palms.
When Duo'er saw her father looking so nervous, she couldn't help but came over curiously.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you afraid that you'll collapse, so you're nervous?" Duo'er asked curiously.
Meng Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head and replied with a smile: "Silly girl, how can dad be afraid? Dad is very good at betting on stones!"
"Oh~" Duo'er responded with a vague understanding.
Seeing this, the stone master reminded with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, this piece of jade is very large. In order not to damage its quality, if you want to continue mining, it will take a while to slowly grind it apart. Sir, why don't you
Let’s rest for a while in our shop first, and you can take a look at it after I finish unraveling this rough stone!”
"Okay, I'll trouble you, master!" Meng Yan nodded after hearing this.
When Duo'er saw this, she immediately ran to a chair nearby and sat down. She tilted her head and looked at Master Jiese unblinkingly.
Although the stone had not been completely cut, Meng Yan could still see its appearance clearly.
"It's so beautiful, Duo'er likes it so much!" Duo'er couldn't help but admire it.
"Dad likes it too!" Meng Yan smiled and touched Duo'er's head.
Meng Yan watched as the stone-cutting master wiped the surface of the rough stone clean and then began to crack the stone.
