2062 Side Story 50: stone gambling auction

Wen Xinya sat at the tea table, her simple and elegant cheongsam emitting a moon-white luster under the clear and gentle light. It was elegant and radiant, and the various types of camellia flowers on her seemed to have come alive in an instant, gorgeous and beautiful beyond words.

She calmly and leisurely sipped her tea. Her fair and soft fingers gently rested on the agate glazed Ruyao teacup, which was hard and milky white in color. The juice was thick and lustrous like a layer of fat, the color was rich and it was dripping with water. The red patterns that were faintly visible were like the wings of cicadas and the claw marks of crabs. They were ancient, thick and natural. Under the soft light, the thin fat bubbles were as bright as the morning stars.

The beautiful Ruyao and the soft and white fingers complemented each other.

That calm posture of holding the cup had a kind of natural pleasing to the eye, one quiet and one moving, both could be drawn into a painting, soft and elegant, graceful Like a Virgin.

Si yiyan’s eyes darkened.

Looking at her gentle posture and thinking about what had happened before, he couldn’t guess her thoughts for a moment and felt a little restless for no reason.

After finishing the cup of tea, the faint fragrance between his lips and teeth calmed his impatience.

Wen Xinya finally couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She rolled her eyes and chided him.”Silly!”

Si yiyan’s expression relaxed and he pulled her into his arms. He sighed and said, ” “I thought you were angry at me.”

It wasn’t that he didn’t notice that she had been in a bad mood since she arrived at the auction today. It was obvious that she wasn’t very enthusiastic about the auction today.

After Wei san’s matter, her emotions were even more diluted. Obviously, she was very afraid of the deep waters of the seven surnames and ten families. He was not worried that she would have doubts about him because of the seven surnames and ten families, but he was just worried that she would be angry with him.

Wen Xinya punched him gently with her tiny fist and rebuked. ” “You didn’t do anything wrong, why would I be angry at you? Am I that unreasonable person in your eyes?”

Towards the end of her sentence, her small face turned serious, as if she was really a little angry. However, in her clear and bright eyes, there was a faint flash of a smile. She was obviously trying to scare him.

Si yiyan did not notice her expression and hurriedly reached out to hold her small fist. ” “Don’t hit it, be careful not to hurt your hand.” The muscles on his chest were hard, and her small hands were soft as if they had no bones. Even if she did not use any strength, it was still uncomfortable.”I’ve always known that you’re reasonable, so how could I think that you’re such an unreasonable person? I just don’t want you to be unhappy.”

He sighed slightly in his heart. Actually, he hoped that she could be more pampered. This way, she would probably rely on him more.

” alright, I’ll stop teasing you. Others say that a man and a woman in love will have their intelligence reduced. I’ve never heard that their intelligence will also decrease after marriage. ”

Wen Xinya was not really annoyed with him at first. However, she burst into laughter after hearing his serious explanation. She was overjoyed to see the intelligent si yiyan become clumsy in front of her.

Si yiyan’s face darkened and he did not know what to say.

She knew that the deeper the feelings, the more she would care about him, so it was inevitable that she would be worried about her personal gains and losses.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the auction hall downstairs. Wen Xinya looked down through the bead curtains of the private room on the second floor, only to see a lady dressed in a red strapless dress standing on the auction stage. The lady was extremely beautiful, and the dress that fell from the waist down was piled up on the ground, making her look even more slender and graceful.

“Is the auction about to start?” Wen Xinya asked curiously.

Si yiyan glanced at him and sipped his tea. ” ” the proper auction will only start at 10 O ‘clock. This is just an appetizer. Before the big fish and meat, let’s have some fun and kill time for everyone. ”

Wen Xinya acknowledged him with an ” Oh ” and did not react much.

” although it’s just an appetizer, it’s more interesting than a normal auction. There are many really good things, and whether you can get them or not depends on luck. ”

Si yiyan put down the teacup in his hand and brushed his long, Jade-like fingers across the thin and lustrous Ruyao teacup, making his knuckles look even tougher, slender, and thick, exuding a natural elegance.

Wen Xinya was intrigued by his words. Just as she was about to ask about the details of the auction, the auction hall had already entered the main topic. Wen Xinya then found out that the next part of the auction was stone gambling.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was only natural.

Myanmar, which was located next to yundian, was the world’s largest jade-producing country. Jade was also the most produced commodity in the border market of yundian Linding. Therefore, it became the gathering place for many Jewelers around the world and also the place where many rich Jade-loving businessmen went to find their treasures.

Stone gambling was popular here, and it was the place where the rich and powerful sought excitement and treasure hunting.

” Lai Yi Pavilion’s stone gambling is quite famous. The raw stones that can be selected for auction are all very good materials. If there’s anything that you like, just bid. ”

Beautiful jade was easy to obtain, but jadeite was hard to find.

As the two of them chatted, the auction below had entered a frenzy. Everyone was bidding. In just half an hour, three raw gemstones had been sold at an astonishing price. The highest price was 100 million.

The three raw stones were cut open on the spot, and all of them had good Jade. One of the raw stones had an ice-type green jade the size of an adult man’s palm. The color was pure and clear, second only to the glass-type green jade. It was also an extremely rare Jade.

Wen Xinya could not help but click her tongue. ” stone gambling is indeed a high-risk business. Although the previous three raw stones all had good Jade, except for the ice-type green jade, the rest were far less valuable than the final price. It’s a loss. ”

Stone gambling in the form of an auction was something that the real rich and powerful could afford.

Si yiyan said nonchalantly, ” the people of Z Country have always loved beautiful jade, especially jadeite. That’s why the stone-gambling industry has been so prosperous in Z Country. Stone-gambling has always been 70% judgment and 30% luck. Good jadeite is rare to begin with. Everyone just wants to have fun and excitement. ”

As for money, no one in the room cared.

In the eyes of these people, gold was easy to get, but Jade was hard to find.

To them, money was just a huge and illusionary number. It was not even comparable to the exquisite antique paintings and jades displayed in private collection halls.

“The Wei family really knows how to do business.” Wen Xinya pursed her lips and shook her head. It was easy to lose one’s rationality and sense of propriety when gambling was involved in everything.

However, just like what SI yiyan had said, the Chinese were just as obsessed with beautiful jade as the foreigners were with US dollars. The raw stones in Lai Yi Pavilion were all rare and good. Naturally, everyone wanted to compete for them, hoping to get some good Jade.
