Chapter 908: Chapter 907: Let’s Go Drink Flower Wine
For Wufu, who loves carving, the joy of acquiring such a piece of purple chalcedony far surpasses the pile of silver notes and Silver on the table, as if forgotten by her.
This made Master Gui gaze deeply, quite curious about which family’s young master this might be. He had impressions of almost everyone in the imperial city, but this one was entirely unfamiliar. Was it true, as he claimed, that he was from outside?
Perhaps only a young master from a wealthy family, unconcerned with money, could achieve such indifference to wealth.
Had Wufu known what Master Gui was thinking at that moment, she would probably cry out in injustice. If she weren’t concerned about money, she wouldn’t have entered the gambling house to make some money.
“Wrap it up and send it home first,” Wufu, after admiring the piece of purple chalcedony, instructed Chi San and the others.
Master Gui said, “Does Young Master Xiao Wu wish to keep this purple jade? Our Riches Gambling House also accepts such fine jade. If Young Master Xiao Wu doesn’t want to keep it, you can sell it to us, and the price will surely satisfy you.”
He was also someone who knew about the goods. The water and quality of this purple chalcedony were of top quality jade, and it was such a large piece. Even if the other half didn’t yield as much purple jade as this side, it would still be quite valuable.
Wufu replied, “No need, I have some skill in carving and was just looking for two pieces of top-quality jade. This one is just right!”
Master Gui raised an eyebrow, “I see, no wonder I saw Young Master Xiao Wu’s skilled hands at stone opening. You didn’t act before because you weren’t impressed, right?”
Wufu giggled, “Not really, I just wanted to keep the principal to play big. You see, isn’t this quite entertaining?”
“Indeed,” Master Gui glanced again at the pile on the table, with silver notes and Silver, and said, “Do you need me to exchange it for silver notes?”
“Sure,” Wufu waved dismissively, “After deducting the commission and base price, just exchange them for silver notes. Also, leave some Silver Tael, otherwise, how can I reward the girls later?”
“So, you really intend to go!”
Wufu looked back at him, “Why not go? Esteemed brother, if one does not indulge in youth, are they not wasting it?”
Master Gui smiled slightly, looking at her spirited face, thinking that youth is indeed good.
The commissions were settled quickly, and Chi Yi looked at the stack of heavy silver notes in his hand with an extremely complicated expression, glancing at the ‘young boy’ walking ahead.
For them, as Hidden Guards, perhaps they would never earn so much in a lifetime of salary—well over a hundred thousand taels, and it was made in just one day.
Not even them, but perhaps even some of the nobles and powerful people in the imperial city wouldn’t have that much cash?
“Come on!” Wufu, turning back, saw their stunned expressions and couldn’t help but call out.
Seeing the silver in his hand, she awkwardly touched her nose. In truth, if it hadn’t been a momentary impulse, she probably wouldn’t have gone to the gambling house to get money. Though they say people cannot get rich without windfall, compared to money won from gambling, she preferred wealth earned on merit. After all, gambling isn’t respectable, and it’s not good either, and if one gets addicted, they can’t pull themselves out. She had no wish or interest in becoming a gambler.
Therefore, such things should be done only once and not repeated unless absolutely necessary.
“Young Master, where are we going now?” Chi Yi placed the silver notes in his pocket and pressed them down, asking.
“Naturally, we’re going to drink flower wine!”
Chi Yi’s face changed slightly, “Young Master is serious?”
Wufu blinked, “Of course I am. When have I ever lied? Ah, the esteemed brother is here.”
Chi Yi slightly shifted and saw that Master Gui indeed came out, his face slightly darkened. Not only are you going to drink flower wine, but you also want to go with a man you just met?
