It's not even fifteen, it's still a year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The capital is naturally lively, the Xiling River generation is the wharf, although far away from the capital, there are still a lot of fun places to go in the year, this year to hit the spring early, at this time the river has appeared on the ice floes, the wind blowing is not so harsh as before, the people who make a living from the wharf in the frozen days, along the river to do a small business, over time there is a market here.

After Helan Ling received the letter from his uncle Hu Yan, he simply packed up and wanted to go to the Fox Mansion, and suddenly heard that his second cousin Lan Yi had also returned to his parents' house. ”

Su Tong turned around and left, stepped out of the threshold, and Xuan'er returned: "Master, you forgot, the river is not frozen, and our goods will need to be shipped back at the end of March and early April." ”

Helan Ling was standing in front of the big mirror on the floor, the color of the robe was too strong, it seemed that the second cousin liked plain colors, and the hat on his head was too hard, as if the second cousin preferred men to only insert hairpins, and he shouldn't wear so many rings on his hands, as if the second cousin didn't like complicated outfits, he didn't answer Su Tong's words, but said to the girl who was waiting for him to change clothes next to him: "Get a new set of clothes." ”

Saying that, he took off all the rings on his hand and threw them on the kang, and after wearing, he only tied a jade pendant around his waist, and the emerald jade pendant took advantage of the plain white robe, such as cultivating bamboo, handsome and upright, considering that the day was not yet warm, and he wore a rosin-colored crane outside, at this time he was like a willow in early spring, bright and clear.

After dressing up carefully, he rode away from home with Su Tong, and when he arrived at the dock, he told Su Tong the purpose of his visit, he wanted to buy some gifts for Lan Yi, and it was a favorite gadget of those daughters.

Su Tong casually pointed to the low shops along the river, as well as those small stalls placed in the open air, and said with a smile: "My lord, there are all the things sold here, there are all the ghost markets in the city, why do you have to go so far." ”

Helan Ling had already dismounted, threw the reins to Su Tong, and said while looking at the goods on the stall: "The ghost market in the city just happens to be the only way to go to my aunt's house, buy it there, then stop by and come here to buy it, this is called special." ”

Su Tong led a horse in one hand, pondering the difference between "by the way" and "specially", and smiled: "The master's words are too profound, and the little ones don't understand." ”

Helan Ling didn't explain much, when he passed a small stall selling groceries, he saw a small mirror when he opened his eyes, picked it up and looked at it, the small mirror was only half the size of his palm, the frame of the mirror was a wood carving, a hundred flower patterns, and the carving was delicate, he asked the stall owner: "How much is this?"

The stall owner was a middle-aged man about forty years old, his hands stretched out, and he turned up and down, and his face was the kind of businessman's characteristic smirk: "Not much, twenty wen." ”

In fact, he usually only sells for ten yuan, seeing that Helan Ling is dressed elegantly, but the clothes and materials are not ordinary people can afford, he still has a hosta on his head, and he is accompanied by slaves, just these two horses, this stall owner can't afford to smash the pot and sell iron, so it is expected that Helan Ling is a rich son, so he sat on the ground and started the price, and was ready to bargain with the object, planning to save the other party five yuan, and he also made a lot of money in the fifteen yuan transaction, the key is that this mirror is an old goods collected from the people's homes at a price of three yuan, and the wooden frame of the mirror has been ground very smooth, and it cannot be used as a new product to sell。

Helan Ling frowned: "Twenty Wen?"

The stall owner thought he was too expensive, and the feeling of cutting flesh hurt, so he cried and said with a sad face: "Uncle knows the goods, if this mirror is put in the store in the city to sell, it will cost fifty yuan, I can't afford to open a shop, I can't make much money a day by this river, and it is difficult to support my family, so my wife ran away with a wild man years ago, leaving a pair of children, I haven't had a good year this year, if the uncle really likes it, then ......"

"Fifty taels. Helan Ling handed the mirror to Su Tong and put it away.

The stall owner was stupid...... Just as he was about to lower the price for him, he shouted out fifty taels, but the stall owner didn't believe his ears, stretched his neck and asked, "Uncle said, fifty taels, silver?"

Helan Ling snorted: "What, you still want gold?"

The stall owner hurriedly waved his hand, and said in his heart that all the goods in my stall are not worth fifty taels, and the person standing in front of him is not a madman? Seeing that his eyes are like torches, and he talks decently, he does not look crazy, but why doesn't he go down and increase the price? And it has risen so outrageously.

Su Tong thought that Helan Ling was joking, but he saw Helan Ling take out five ingots of silver from the burden on the horse's back, throw them to the stall owner, and then turn around and leave.

Su Tong wanted to catch up with him, but he was holding two horses in his hands, so he had to shout: "Master, this mirror is not worth fifty taels." ”

Helan Ling looked back at him and smiled: "This mirror came out of the palace in the previous dynasty, why is it not worth fifty taels." ”

The stall owner listened to it and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, it was transmitted from the palace of the former dynasty, and it was used by a noble concubine, but it has been some years." ”

Helan Ling didn't pay attention to him, nor did he listen to Su Tong's verbosity, and after looking at a few places casually, he turned over and got on the horse: "Go, go back to the city." ”

Su Tong didn't know what the mirror came from, after all, Helan Ling had traveled all over the world and was well-informed, but he only bought such a tattered thing to give to the second girl of his aunt's family, which seemed inappropriate, Su Tong asked him: "Master, the small ones are good to look at those inkstones, jade screens, calligraphy and paintings, just buy a few more, those things look more expensive." ”

Helan Ling shook the reins, and urged the horse to leave, Su Tong hurriedly got on his horse and chased after him, the master and servant went along the river to the official road, Su Tong really couldn't figure out the master's mind, and asked about the past.

Helan Ling pointed at him with a horsewhip and said: "You slave, you have to ask why, okay, let me tell you, you can't buy too much, too much will make Lan Yi dazzled and can't choose, a comparison, this is not as good as that, that is not as good as that, in the end, maybe I don't like any of them, it's better to just be such a mirror, just such a gift, no choice, no comparison, she must think this mirror is good." ”

Su Tong smiled habitually: "Master's words are profound, and the little ones don't understand, but the mirror doesn't look like a valuable thing." ”

Helan Ling Chang looked out, there were a lot of pedestrians on the official road, some were still in a car, the car was loaded with colorful things, it seemed that this was going into the city to participate in the lantern festival, thinking that it was almost the Shangyuan Festival, and Lan Yi would inevitably stay at his aunt's house for the holiday, he was extremely happy, and as soon as he was happy, he was happy to tell Su Tong this secret:" This mirror is worth ten sons at most, but I am a cousin, how can you let me get it for ten cents, fifty taels is barely enough, and Lan Yi has seen a lot of good things since he was a child, and he must not like jade jewelry, but this small mirror is very chic, Lan Yi is still a little girl, I must like it, not to mention, this is from the palace of the former dynasty. ”

Su Tong was stunned: "Do you really think this is from the palace of the previous dynasty?"

Helan Ling laughed: "Master, I said that this mirror was used by the Queen Mother of Heaven, and I can tell the perfect reason." ”
