Chapter 4: The Encounter of Fate (I)
Endless darkness that swallows everything. And Jiang Xun saw the only light in it, what was it?
It's a feeling, a complicated feeling, but it's so real, Jiang Xun has had such a dream before, but he still doesn't understand why a dream is so real, but he has seen all the scenes in his previous dreams.
Soon, that "thing" will appear in front of his eyes.
Yes, "it" has finally appeared.
Jiang Xun looked at the "thing" in front of him in horror, and took a few steps back, but for some reason he retreated, the distance between him and the "thing" was always shortening, and in the end, the "thing" finally took off the hazy appearance of "it", revealing the true appearance of "it".
It was a ding, with a strange shape, as if it was growing outward, but the pattern on it was strange and strange, which made people feel awe-inspired, and did not dare to profane the meaning behind it.
And when Jiang Xun looked away, a whisper made him look back again.
Ding in front of her turned into a girl for some reason, she was wearing a white and flawless dress, her face was unparalleled in the world, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes, as if she was sad for something, and looking at all this, Jiang Xun was sad with her tears for some reason.
Jiang Xun subconsciously stretched out his hand, but the moment before touching the girl's cheek, everything turned into nothingness, and the surrounding became a starry sky, and in the starry sky, there were seven stars that were particularly dazzling, Jiang Xun didn't know what it meant, but he still felt something unusual.
"Fate"?
But with a loud bang, the starry sky was swallowed up by a big mouth, and even Jiang Xunlian was not spared, and was also sucked into it.
Jiang Xun woke up, the sunlight shone into the room through the window, covering it with a warm carpet, the air was filled with a fragrance, and a steaming breakfast was being placed on the desk not far away.
Jiang Xun knew that this was what he ordered, so he didn't need to knock on the door to disturb him, and directly put breakfast on the desk.
Jiang Xun got up, but when he rubbed his eyes, he found that he unconsciously burst into tears.
"This ......"
Could it be that the emotions in the dream can continue to reality? Or is it just that he is self-inflicted? Jiang Xun wiped away his tears, picked up the water cup placed on the desk, rinsed his mouth, and carefully wiped his face with the towel that had been prepared, but he still felt as if there were some stains on his face, so he wiped it with a towel, and looked in the mirror again and again, and when he was finally satisfied, he was about to eat breakfast but found that he had no appetite at all.
So, Jiang Xun had to tell the maid to pack up the utensils, and then asked his father if he had returned, and after getting the answer of "no", he went out and walked straight towards the antique black market.
To enter the antique black market, you have to take a hidden road, and after entering, as for whether you can find real good goods, you have to rely on your own ability. After all, it's a black market, and sometimes there are indeed fewer rules, and sometimes there will even be a scene of grabbing things, so the people who come here are basically cautious and hurried, and there are many people who wear masks or cloths to hide their identities.
Jiang Xun put on a different coat than usual, and used a fox mask to hide his true face, and as he walked, he paid attention to whether the things around him were really interesting.
He thought that he would waste another morning in vain, but he didn't expect to find an ancient book in a short time. Although that ancient book was inconspicuous, Jiang Xun recognized at a glance that the book had the same type of mark as the ancient book he had bought before, and that mark was the twenty-four hexagrams left by the legendary Emperor.
Jiang Xun stepped forward unhurriedly, and then talked to the seller: "It's good to dare to be kind, boss, this ancient bronze bracelet has a lot of origins, right?"
"It's true that there are a lot of people, what's the matter, are the guests interested in this?" the boss saw that although Jiang Xun's clothes were simple on the surface, the materials were very exquisite, so he said to Jiang Xun who was staring at his own sales.
Jiang Xun picked up the bronze bracelet and pretended to observe: "Hmm...... It's a good thing, I don't know how many years ago. β
"Guest, this bracelet, at leastβmust be three hundred and eighty years old. β
"Really, it's expensive, isn't it?"
The boss's eyes lit up and said, "The price will definitely make you lose money to the guests, and it will be fifty gold." β
β...... It's still a little more expensive. Jiang Xun sighed and put down the bronze bracelet.
"Don'tβguest, this bracelet is worth the price, and if you really like it, I'm willing to let it out." Seeing that Jiang Xun intended to give up, the boss hurriedly said.
"So-ah, how much can you let in?" Jiang Xun gave the question back to the boss.
"It depends on how much you have to give the guest. The boss said.
Jiang Xun gave three fingers and said, "I'll give this number." β
"Thirty gold, this ......"
"Wrong," Jiang Xun said with a smile, "Three golds, I'll only give three golds." β
The boss's smile froze, and then he sighed: "The guest is really a person who knows the goods." β
"Where, each other. Jiang Xun's eyes blinked.
Now that the boss has fallen into his trap, he can rest assured that the center of the conversation will be pulled to the ancient books.
"But even so, I'm afraid the three golds are a little less. β
Jiang Xun nodded and said with a smile: "It's really less, but you also have a lot of foolish things here, right?"
"What?" the boss was startled and hurriedly asked, "What fooling people." β
"That vase is only about ten years old, but the style is a classic of the Guguan kiln, but as we all know, the Guguan kiln is most famous for its twenty-year production period, which can preserve the most perfect appearance of a porcelain until the end of the world. Jiang Xun rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "And that sword, at first glance, it is a recent fake, do you have the courage to put it on the table?
The boss panicked, if someone else heard it, how could he still have the face to mess up, so he whispered to Jiang Xun: "Some things are seen through and not broken, guest." β
"Then the price ......"
"It's up to you. β
Jiang Xun nodded, pretending to look at the ancient book casually, and said, "What, boss, aren't you afraid of being laughed at when this kind of thing is put out?"
"Oh, guest, didn't you say no, since you like it, then this book is ......"
Just when Jiang Xun felt that he was nine out of ten, an accident happened.
A hand with slender and beautiful fingers pressed the ancient book he was thinking about, and its owner said lightly to the boss: "Boss, this book looks very good, I will give ten silver, I want it." β
Jiang Xun turned his head to look, only to see that the person who came was dressed plainly, but he was very decent, his shoulder-length long hair was simply tied behind him, but with his face he looked very handsome, like the lake was gently caressed by weeping willows, leaving only a faint ripple, he did not hide his face, but his smile was very open, as if he did not know that there is an unspoken rule of hiding his face in this city.
Seeing this scene, a cold sweat broke out on Jiang Xun's forehead, but the boss looked at Jiang Xun, looked at the person, and finally glanced at Jiang Xun. Jiang Xun realized that his plan had not been seen through by the boss, so he smiled and covered it up with a smile.
"Ouch, boss, probably this book has to be bought. β
"Don't worry, I'll explain it to the guest. So the boss explained to the visitor.
The strange thing is that it is also useful, and after listening to the boss's words, the person who came gave up the idea of buying this book, and turned to Jiang Xun and said: "Since this guest is interested in this book, come first and come first, I should let you." β
"Whereever, if you're willing to give more, then take it. β
When the boss heard Jiang Xun's words, his eyes lit up.
"Forget it, the gentleman is good for the wise and not good for the mediocre. With that, the man departed.
Jiang Xun was stunned, obviously he didn't expect this person to give up like this, and the boss was stunned, and whispered to Jiang Xun: "Guest, this person said that you don't know each other and are vulgar." β
In this regard, Jiang Xun couldn't laugh or cry.
On the other hand, the man who gave up before carefully observed Jiang Xun and the boss in a hidden corner, and finally sighed and said, "It's okay, I don't have spare money to fight with a child of a noble family, but unfortunately, this is the only book in this black market." β
On Jiang Xun's side, Jiang Xun didn't go home because of the initial gains, he still chose to try his luck more, but he still found nothing, and finally rubbed his temples, took the bracelet and ancient books he got before, and returned to the house.
But after returning to the mansion, Jiang Xun realized that he had forgotten what the teacher told him yesterday, so he hurriedly asked the maid who served the refreshments, "What time is it?"
The maid replied, "Lunch will be available soon." β
Jiang Xun patted his head and went out of the house again.
