Chapter 140 Lucky Cat
Chapter 140 Lucky Cat
Amid the disdainful looks of the crowd, Shen Mingzhu spent only five taels of silver to buy the huge rough stone that was originally worth 888 taels.
This rough stone weighs more than 50 kilograms. The person who had ridiculed Shen Mingzhu and the others earlier said with disdain:
"Tsk, you are such an ignorant little girl, you really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Didn't you see that guy just lost everything in gambling on stones? Has he gone crazy?"
"If your master knew you were wasting money like this, he would beat you to death."
"Haha, you are from the countryside, you are from the countryside. It is a foolish dream to spend five taels of silver and want to buy a treasure."
Shen Mingzhu ignored the man's ridicule, nor did she allow Shen Mingyu to cause trouble for him.
She was so excited that she wanted to hug Shi Tou and kiss him, but she suppressed her excitement and told the boss that there was no need to open the door.
The boss thought, if he doesn't want to open it, then don't open it! In order to save his processing fee, he asked Shen Mingzhu to find someone to take the stone away.
He is in a very bad mood now. A business that could have made a lot of money was ruined by that madman. He must tear that madman into pieces.
That idiot actually revealed his inside story and cut off his business which was a sure win. He would not be named Wang if he didn't cut that man into pieces and take out his heart and liver.
Among the onlookers, a kind-hearted person reminded Shen Mingzhu that even if she bought the stone, she couldn't move it away, so it would be better to just open the business here.
Shen Mingyu, however, held his strength and, in front of everyone's gaze, easily picked up the stone and walked out.
The man who mocked Shen Mingzhu was frightened when he saw Shen Mingyu, who was not even as tall as the stone, could easily pick up the stone.
Is this child still a human? How could a child of a few years old be so strong? Was he wrong?
On the way back in the carriage, Shen Mingyu asked Shen Mingzhu unconvincedly: "Sister, why didn't you let me deal with that man?"
Shen Mingzhu: "He has his own mouth, he can say whatever he wants, we won't lose a piece of meat."
"I originally wanted to open the jade stone in public and slap that person in the face, but then I thought about how precious the jade inside the stone was and how the boss was so black-hearted and felt justified in deceiving people, so I didn't want to let the boss take advantage of me."
"Mingyu, there are many ways to deal with people, but fighting is the worst. If you want to be an official or a general, many people will talk about you and there will be many voices of opposition. Can you kill everyone who says bad things about you?"
"You need to change your impulsive temper, or you will suffer great losses in the future."
Shen Mingyu was not convinced: "But, sister, I just can't swallow this."
Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes at Shen Mingyu and said, "Don't swallow this anger. This person's bad luck will come soon and he will always be unlucky."
Shen Mingyu didn't understand why his sister said that, but he believed what she said.
What Shen Mingzhu didn't say was that she secretly put a bad luck charm on that person, and that person would always be unlucky.
Humph, she is a vengeful person. Isn’t she bullying them because they are from the countryside?
Then let that Beijing native experience the feeling of being inferior to the country folk for the rest of his life. Let that person live a life worse than even the country folk.
Let that person know what it means to speak ill of him.
"Ah, ha!" The man who mocked Shen Mingzhu sneezed loudly. Just as he covered his nose, he stepped on the tail of a wild dog. The wild dog screamed in pain and bit his leg.
The man let out a heart-wrenching scream and found that a wild dog had bitten off a piece of his flesh and blood, with blood flowing all over the ground.
He was in so much pain that tears came to his eyes. Seeing the wild dog looking at him, ready to bite him again, he was frightened and ran away quickly, but the wild dog chased him and bit him.
When Shen Mingzhu and her friends returned home, they saw Shen Lao San and Shen Lao Tou had returned.
As soon as Shen Laosan saw Shen Mingzhu, he ran over and wanted to kiss his daughter. But when he saw his daughter's calm eyes, he remembered that his daughter was already in her twenties in modern times and her soul was no longer that of a child.
He touched his nose to hide his embarrassment, but saw Shen Mingyu walking to the center of the yard holding a large stone.
Shen Lao San asked Shen Mingyu: "Mingyu, why are you carrying a stone into the yard?"
Shen Mingyu gently put the stone down, looked up and said, "This is the raw jade stone my sister bought."
Before Shen Lao San could say anything, Old Man Shen said unhappily, "How heavy is such a big stone? Just let the servants carry it. What if you sprain your waist?"
Among these grandchildren, Old Man Shen loves the naughty Shen Mingyu the most and is afraid that Shen Mingyu might sprain his waist.
Shen Mingyu waved his hands and said, "It's okay. They are not as strong as me. I carried him in without any effort."
Shen Lao San was thinking a lot. He asked Shen Mingzhu with a smile: "Did you go to gamble on stones?"
Shen Mingzhu smiled and nodded, but Old Man Shen asked, "How much did you spend?"
Shen Mingzhu raised five fingers. Old Man Shen said, "Fifty taels?"
Shen Mingzhu shook his head, and Old Man Shen raised his voice and asked, "Five hundred taels?"
He had read about gambling on stones in a miscellany, so he asked Shen Mingzhu about the price of the stone.
Shen Mingzhu shook her head again, and Shen Lao San asked in surprise: "Five taels of silver?"
Shen Mingzhu smiled and nodded. Shen Laosan asked excitedly, "Are you looking for bargains again?"
Shen Mingzhu said calmly: "It's not just a bargain, it's a big bargain."
Shen Lao San's eyes were full of surprise, but Su said directly:
"Why are you asking so many questions? Can't you just find a master to open the stone?"
Su knew her daughter's good luck and thought that Shen Lao San was being very slow.
"Yes! Why didn't I think of that?" Shen Lao San said with a smile. Just as he was about to call Qingsong to find the stonemason, he heard Shen Mingzhu say:
"No, I'll open it myself."
Shen Mingzhu walked to the big rock, put his hand on the rock, and said, "Open." The rock was just like an egg being peeled.
The gravel on the outside of the stone fell down with a clatter.
Before Shen Laosan and the others could recover from Shen Mingzhu's powerful inner strength, they saw that the originally gray pebbles actually contained a large piece of white jade as white as moonlight.
Several people hurriedly walked up to the huge piece of white jade and excitedly touched the crystal clear mutton-fat white jade.
This piece of mutton-fat jade has a delicate luster, pure and soft color, flawless white, warm, firm, translucent and pure.
This piece of white jade is as smooth as solidified fat and extremely soft to the touch. It is the best quality mutton-fat jade.
Su, who had always seen many treasures, couldn't help but exclaimed: "Top-grade mutton-fat white jade, Zhuzhu, you actually bought such a big piece of mutton-fat white jade."
Shen Lao San was so excited that he danced with joy, "Zhu Zhu, this is not just a bargain, you are making a killing!"
"Haha, you are worthy of being my daughter! Haha, you are a lucky cat, the God of Wealth in our family."
Old man Shen almost dropped his jaw in shock. He caressed the white jade lovingly, his eyes wide open, and asked Shen Mingzhu in disbelief:
"You really only spent five taels of silver? No, Zhuzhu, you don't have the ability to see through things again, do you?"
Shen Mingzhu really wanted to say, Old man, you have revealed the truth.
However, she resisted the urge to show off and said innocently:
"No! How can I have X-ray vision? I just want to take advantage of something that's left."
"Haha, your granddaughter is lucky. She can even pick up such a huge bargain."
Old man Shen was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Zhuzhu was not just lucky, her luck was incredibly good.
"Ding, top-grade mutton-fat white jade has been detected. The system exchange price is 50,000 taels of gold. Host, do you want to exchange it?"
Shen Mingzhu: "If you don't want to exchange it, is there any lucky cat in the system that can actually find money?"
