Chapter 275 Zhou Family
Chapter 275 Zhou Family
Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows when she heard Jun Luoyun's voice: "Didn't the princess say that there's nothing to be found in this stone of mine? Why do you want to buy it now?"
"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me how much money you want." Jun Luoyun said coldly, "There is nothing that our City Prince's Mansion cannot afford."
"Really?" Shang Ruoyi curled her lips slightly: "But, I don't want to sell it to you."
"you!"
"This is my master's jadeite. I can sell it to whoever you want. You can sell it for as much money as you want." Shang Ruoyi stopped looking at her increasingly dark face and said, "If the princess wants to buy it, wouldn't it be better for her to open it herself?"
Zhang Qian stood behind Jun Luoyun and whispered, "Princess, in my opinion, he doesn't take you seriously at all. You must not let him off easily!"
"Is there any need for you to talk nonsense here?" Jun Luoyun's face became even uglier. He frowned and looked at Zhang Qian, a person who is more likely to cause trouble than to help. If he had not sold the broken stone, would there be so many things happening now?
As the stone-cutting machine turned, two large pieces of jade appeared completely in front of everyone.
Such gorgeous colors make people intoxicated.
"One hundred and eighty thousand taels!"
"Two hundred thousand taels!"
"Three hundred thousand taels." Just then, an old man stepped forward with a warm smile on his face, "Young Master, our Zhou family is willing to offer three hundred thousand taels to buy these two pieces of jade from you."
Three hundred thousand taels is not a small number.
Jun Luoyun's face became even uglier when she heard that. Three hundred thousand taels was simply not something she could take out right now.
Shang Ruoyi looked at her and said with a smile, "Does the princess want to raise the price further?"
Jun Luoyun clenched her fists. It was obvious that she did it on purpose. She knew clearly that she couldn't come up with so much silver, yet she still came to ask her on purpose.
"Humph, they are just two pieces of jadeite. This princess doesn't even want them! What rare treasures don't we have in the City Prince's Mansion?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded seriously: "What the princess said is true, but the City Prince's Mansion should not have the purple Oriental Pearl. I saw you were so determined to get it at the auction a few days ago, and I thought the Oriental Pearl would definitely fall into your hands!"
When the old matter was brought up again, Jun Luoyun could only hear sarcasm.
The old man of the Zhou family bowed slightly to Shang Ruoyi and said, "Young Master, I am the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Chen. This kind of top-grade jadeite has been sought by our Zhou family master for several years but has never been seen. Today, no matter how much silver you are offered, I will definitely bring it back."
Although these words were spoken to Shang Ruoyi, they were actually meant for Jun Luoyun to hear.
Although Jun Luoyun is a princess, she is also a princess of the Western Region. This is Beiling, and the Zhou family is the largest family in Beiling. They don't take the adopted daughter of a city king seriously at all.
Jun Luoyun naturally heard the hidden meaning and was so angry that he trembled all over.
This Beiling is full of vulgar people, who actually dare not take her seriously.
Shang Ruoyi secretly looked at Zhou Chen a few times and had a general understanding of the strength of the Zhou family.
After all, if it were an ordinary family, how could a person in charge wear silk?
Three hundred thousand taels was the highest price that could be offered. Zhang Qian's eyes were red and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
Three hundred thousand taels! Three hundred thousand taels!
He just sold this enormous wealth for seven hundred taels of silver?
No!
He must find a way to get this jade back.
"Since Manager Zhou has offered the highest price, these two jades are yours."
Manager Zhou smiled and said, "Young Master is a young talent. This kind of luck is truly a rare talent."
"Master Zhou's praise is just a casual one, it doesn't count."
"You can't say that." Manager Zhou waved his hand hastily: "If you are not a person of great luck, you will never be able to mine such precious jade. Even if you buy the raw stone, you will lose it for various reasons."
As soon as Mr. Zhou finished speaking, he heard people snickering behind him.
"Isn't the Master Zhou talking about the young master of the Zhang family?"
"Yes, yes, it was clearly Young Master Zhang who bought the raw stone first. After cutting it, he was afraid that he would lose so much money that even his own father would not recognize him, so he sold it at a low price. Now, the real treasure is actually in the piece of waste material that he gave as a gift."
"It's God's will, absolutely God's will!"
"Mr. Zhang is really unlucky. He sold this overwhelming wealth to someone else for only 700 taels. I guess he won't have any good luck in the rest of his life."
"We should stay away from him in the future, so as not to bring bad luck to us."
The next moment, there was no one within one meter around Zhang Qian.
"You guys!" He gasped and said, "Just wait for me!" After saying that, he turned and left.
Manager Zhou took out the banknote and handed it to Shang Ruoyi: "Young Master, please forgive me for being so rude, but may I ask your name?"
"My name is Lingjun."
"Master Lingjun, if you have time, please come to my house and have a visit."
"Thank you for your kindness, Manager Zhou." She did not count the banknotes, but handed them to Shaoyao and asked her to keep them.
When Manager Zhou saw her behavior, he was even more certain that she must be from a prominent family. She didn't even look at the 300,000 taels.
At this time, an old man stepped forward and said, "I am the owner of Wanshizhai. Congratulations to Dr. Lingjun for opening such a priceless jade."
"Does the shopkeeper know me?"
"Yes, of course I recognize you. You saved our eldest daughter. Now in Beiling City, all the properties of our Lin family will naturally recognize you, the miracle doctor!"
It turns out that Wanshizhai belongs to the Lin family.
"Are you the miracle doctor who cured Miss Lin?" Manager Zhou's voice was much higher than before, and his tone was full of surprise.
"Exactly."
"Divine Doctor, could you come back to the Zhou family with me?"
Seeing his anxious tone, Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but ask, "But what's the urgent matter?"
Manager Zhou looked around and whispered, "There are so many people here, could the Divine Doctor please spare me a moment to talk?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded.
Shaoyao handed the banknotes to Acheng. She was a little scared to have so many banknotes on her.
Arriving at the private room of Wanshizhai, Manager Zhou knelt directly in front of her and said, "Please, Dr. Lingjun, save my young master!"
With such a great gift, Shang Ruoyi hurriedly helped him up: "Master Zhou, please stand up and talk. What are you doing?"
"You were able to cure Miss Lin's difficult-to-treat illness. Now my young master's life depends on you!"
"Tell me, what kind of illness does your young master have?"
Manager Zhou shook his head and said, "To be honest, even if our Zhou family invited famous doctors from all over the world, they couldn't figure out what disease our young master has."
Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. Is there such a strange disease?
"Well, since I have nothing to do today, I will go and take a look at your young master."
When she left Wanshizhai, she felt a resentful gaze falling behind her.
