Chapter 16: True or False

Li Meng led everyone to this stall, which was only one square meter in size and was full of dishes, squatted down and greeted the stall owner uncle with a grinning accent: "Uncle, I'm here again." ”

The stall owner's uncle seemed to be very familiar with the two sisters, so he first looked up at Zhang's mother Zhang He and Wu Xin, who were dressed differently from their locals, and then smiled at Li Zhen and Li Meng, and asked, "This is your relative in Beijing?"

"This is my second aunt, this is my cousin and cousin. Without waiting for his sister to speak, Li Zhen replied with a proud face.

The stall owner's uncle nodded at Zhang He and them, and then asked Li Meng with a smile: "Did you bring money today?"

"Nope. Don't you want money to buy it?" Li Meng rolled her eyes, then picked up a beautiful bowl and turned back to the two brothers and said, "Brother, don't you think this drift is beautiful?"

"Hey, you're bigger than your sister. Uncle the stall owner laughed.

"How much is it?" Li Meng turned his head and asked with a serious face.

"5 pieces. As he spoke, the stall owner's uncle glanced up at Zhang He and them.

"Isn't it 2 pieces?" Li Meng exclaimed with wide eyes.

"It's so expensive, isn't it just a bowl with flowers? Li Meng, let's go." Li Zhen only felt that this uncle was very unreal, obviously the bowl that was 2 yuan two days ago has become 5 yuan today, and he immediately pulled up his sister and was about to leave.

But at this moment, Zhang He suddenly squatted down and said to Li Meng with open hands: "Show me." So he took the bowl, and quickly touched the bottom of the bowl with his fingers, turned it upside down and looked at the pattern on the bowl, and muttered in his heart, "The bottom of the mouth is as smooth as a baby's skin." The porcelain is fine, light and thin. Panzhi peony is bright and bright, the painting is refined, the outline lines are clear, and it feels very textured. It's not going to be..."

"Damn, it's really royal enamel!" Seeing that on the bottom of the white and flawless bowl, in the two blue borders that are thick on the outside and thin on the inside, there are four big characters written on the Kangxi Imperial System, Zhang He almost fainted with excitement, and his heart suddenly exclaimed like five thunderbolts. He couldn't believe his eyes, and he couldn't believe how he could have such good luck, and in just a few hours from morning to now, he had come across three treasures in a row that were rare in the lives of poor people.

"Could it be that knowledge determines fate? Is it true that every era gives everyone the same opportunity? God! What else did I miss in my previous life?" Zhang He was excited, and couldn't help but feel nostalgic for his life in his previous life. So he calmed down for a while, and then looked at Li Meng beside him and said secretly in his heart: "Little sister, you really have a vision! This is the famous enamel of the Qing Dynasty and the third dynasty in the history of Chinese porcelain, and the royal thing of Kang Yongqian." Yes, since I took your brother's kiln bottle and bronze lamp for my family's business, this should be regarded as my brother's favor, and my brother will help you take it today. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang He pretended not to care, handed the porcelain bowl back into Li Meng's hand, and reached out to take another bowl from the stall. I wanted to use this as a compliment or disapproval, so as to confuse the stall owner and make the stall owner not know where his heart belongs. But who would have thought that the other bowl he took turned out to be "Kangxi Imperial System", which couldn't help but make Zhang He begin to doubt the authenticity of these bowls. So he picked up all the bowls that were exactly the same, all depicted with delicate floral patterns, and looked at them carefully.

"Damn, this yellow one is too. No, it's the same as this one. How is it possible? A stack of five bowls turned out to be made by Kangxi. Zhang He was stunned all of a sudden, he couldn't believe that these bowls in front of him were all enamel colors made by Kangxi. He didn't know what to do all of a sudden, and he began to think about it in his heart: "Is it all true? Is there such a probability? I only knew that there was a Li Lianying here in Hebei, but I didn't remember any first-class officials! If it was really given by the emperor back then, he wouldn't have given it a stack of them, right? Could it be that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the eunuchs stole them out of the palace? Or did they bring them out when Pu Yi left the palace? But the emperor went to the northeast! I haven't heard of coming to Hebei? Hey! I'm stupid! I don't have enough knowledge all of a sudden! What can I do about this? Do I buy it or not?

Just when Zhang He hesitated, Zhang's mother suddenly opened her mouth and urged: "Let's go, let's go and see what is good in front of us." Don't squat here and delay business. ”

Zhang He glanced up at his mother, and then thoughtfully at the stall owner with a smile on his face. Then he turned his heart sideways and asked the stall owner: "If I buy all this stack, can it be cheaper?"

Without waiting for the stall owner to speak, Zhang's mother immediately exclaimed: "What are you buying? Why do you want this stack of bowls? Hurry up, go. Zhang Mu said as she pulled Zhang He's head with her hand.

The stall owner's uncle saw that Zhang's mother's face was ugly, so he also said: "Okay, let's go with your second aunt, and when you have money one day, come and buy it again." ”

"Three pieces for one, and fifteen for a stack, you can see if it's okay. Zhang He's axis came up, and he didn't waver at all because of his younger siblings getting up one after another.

"You're not leaving, are you? Li Zhen, Li Meng, Wu Xin, let's go. Zhang's mother said with a displeased face that the other three children were about to leave.

"Mom!" Zhang He shouted to his mother with his frown, holding the bowl on the ground with his legs.

"Eldest sister, why don't you buy one for the child, the child really likes it. The stall owner lost no time in looking at Zhang's mother, who had walked a few steps, and smiled.

"I'll ask you again, you can't go. Mother Zhang said sharply.

Zhang He saw that his mother was very persistent, but he really didn't want to let go of this rare opportunity, so he had to be heartbroken and said to his mother: "Mom, you are going to have surgery in two days, so you can't give me a New Year's gift in advance." After saying that, Zhang He regretted it. Because his implication is to imply that his mother may not be able to leave the hospital during the Chinese New Year, and may not even have the opportunity to give him a gift again.

Zhang's mother was naturally stunned when she heard this, and paused for a few seconds before relieving herself, and then turned back to Zhang He's side and asked him, "Do you really like it?" It seems that her son's words brought a lot of shock to her heart.

But Zhang He was not happy about his mother's "change of heart", on the contrary, he just nodded to his mother full of guilt.

Zhang's mother rummaged through her pocket and said to Zhang He: "Mom only has 5 yuan left in her pocket now, can I buy one for you?"

Zhang Hechong nodded to his mother, and then said to the stall owner: "Is it okay to have 3 yuan a piece? I only have 6 yuan here." As he spoke, Zhang He took out from his pocket a piece that Grandma Tai had given him this morning when he worshipped his ancestors.

But a businessman is a businessman after all. Seeing that the mother and son, who were completely out of business, had already handed over the real information and were ready to pay for it, the stall owner began to insist with a sad face: "It's really not good, this was originally 5 yuan, but it was 2 yuan less, and the price was too ruthless." ”

"Brother, let's go. Don't buy it. Wu Xin said suddenly.

"Yes, brother, this is too expensive, it's only two cents to buy an ordinary bowl. Let's go. Li Zhen took Wu Xin's words and said.

"But it's really pretty!" Li Meng squatted beside Zhang He again, picking up the top red bowl in a stack of bowls that Zhang He was blocking with his legs.

"Uncle, you should be cheaper, or we will really leave. Zhang He said as he pretended to hand the bowl under him back to the stall owner.

"That's it, four, four. Who made you relatives of Li Hui's family?" the stall owner suddenly relented.

"4 yuan is too expensive!" Zhang's mother said to her son with a displeased face, and at the same time glanced coldly at the stall owner's uncle.

But at this moment, a middle-aged man who was dressed differently from the locals and spoke with a Beijing accent suddenly appeared next to Zhang He. I saw him staring at the bowl in Li Meng's hand with both eyes, and stretched out his hand to Li Meng and said, "Little girl, show me the bowl in your hand." ”

Seeing this, Zhang He immediately used his hand vigilantly, and gave the man a sentence with an unkind expression: "Li Meng, don't give it to him." Do you know the rules? We're talking about the price! Do you know what first come, first served!"

Then he didn't look at this man again, and said to Li Zhen, Li Meng, and Wu Xin in a commanding tone: "Wu Xin, you three, first lend me the reward money given by Grandma Tai in the morning." ”

"Brother, let's not buy it, maybe there's something good in front of us!" Wu Xin heard this, and immediately frowned and persuaded Zhang He.

"Yes, this is too expensive, brother, let's go ahead and have a look. Li Zhen also agreed.

Only Li Meng was still squatting beside Zhang He and muttered, "I just want this." ”

"Borrow me first, and I'll pay you back when I go back. Zhang He insisted, and then threw the dollar in his hand to the stall. Li Meng was naturally overjoyed when she saw this, and hurriedly followed Zhang He's example, took out a piece of money and threw it at the stall owner's feet.

"Okay, look at your brother in a hurry, hurry up and pay for it. The stall owner once again lost no time in picking up the two yuan on the stall, and said to Li Zhen and Wu Xin with a smile on his face.

"Hurry up, I'll pay you back when I go back. Zhang He also hurriedly urged.

"Oh well. Li Zhen glanced at Zhang's mother, and then took out a piece of money and handed it to the stall owner. Although Wu Xin was reluctant, he had to do it at the moment, and Zhang's mother finally took out the money from her pocket and handed it over to the stall owner.

"Eh, we gave you a few pieces? Nine pieces. You'll have to come to us. Zhang He suddenly reacted as if he had given too much, so he asked the stall owner again.

The stall owner counted the money in his hand and smiled: "Do you want two?"

"Yes, if you don't give you so much, you won't be cheaper, or you will give us three of us, and you will find money. Zhang He stared into the stall owner's eyes and said.

"Okay, but I can't give it like that. The stall owner grabbed the money, looked down for the dishes in front of him, picked up a small white porcelain plate on his right hand and handed it to Zhang He, and said, "This was originally sold for 2 yuan, and I gave you one dollar." ”

"Hey, why are you like this, you should be looking for money. Zhang's mother was immediately displeased.

But Zhang He glanced down at the porcelain plate and interjected: "Okay, so be it." Give us a few more newspapers. ”

"What's the matter, find money!" Zhang Mu stretched out her hand to the stall owner.

"Mom!" Zhang He raised his head and gave his mother a look, then took the stack of newspapers handed over by the stall owner, wrapped the bowl in Li Meng's hand, one of the foundation bowls under him, and the white porcelain plate with a porcelain seal, and didn't say anything, he stuffed it all into his mother's hand, stood up and smirked at his mother: "Thank you, Mom." Then he hugged his fists and said to his younger brothers and sisters like a chivalrous man: "Thank you." ”

"You're going to see how I'm going to clean you up when I go back. Zhang's mother glanced at the stall owner with a smile on her face, and glared at Zhang He very unhappily, but Zhang He was not afraid, and still smirked at her mother.

"Brother, did you give me this bowl?" Li Meng suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Shhhh He didn't want Wu Xin to be jealous, let alone let his mother know, but Zhang He, who had already made arrangements in his heart, nodded and made a shushing gesture to Li Meng.

"Hmm" Li Meng glanced at her aunt and brother and sister smartly, pursed her lips and nodded.

Li Zhen saw that this side was finally over, so he beckoned everyone again: "Let's go." Brother, have you ever seen a real horse or a sheep?".

"Horses and sheep, I haven't seen them, where are they?" Wu Xin swept away the depressed mood when he was driven to the shelves just now, and his eyes lit up, urging Li Zhen and Li Meng to move forward while asking.

At this point, a group of five people merged into the flow of people again. But Zhang He was still a little reluctant to turn his head and look at the stall again, only to see that the man just now was already holding the remaining three bowls he had picked and was paying the stall owner.

It's hard to imagine that fortune is near.

Chance cause and effect are destined,

Some people rub shoulders and some fill in.
