Chapter 175: Buying Stones

"Antiques-Selling antiques--Bowl-sized ceramics--Bucket-sized jars!"

"Gold chains, silver bracelets, not as good as flower hairpins made of beads! Alas, uncle, come and take a look?"

“……”

Wu Cheng sat on the antique street, next to the endless shouting, soliciting, and bargaining. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Wu Cheng wandered around the antique street like this, shopping here, looking there. He likes to play with things, and almost all of the things he can buy on the market have been started, but he still can't be satisfied. For those good things that have a price, but I haven't gotten a few. In the antique street of Jinping City, most of them are bought for fun, but there are always those who are lucky, and they really find good things.

So when he couldn't be idle anymore, Wu Cheng would come here to take a walk twice. In the past two days, he happened to be idle and couldn't be idle anymore, with the favor of Emperor Ming Xian, and without Xia Chengwen, who was in front of him before, the days were as comfortable as they were.

Chen Pi squatted on the ground, with a snakeskin bag spread out in front of him. There were bottles and jars covered with ash and mud, a few strange stones, large and small, and a few dilapidated paintings, probably because of the baptism of time, and a few moth-eaten chips on them.

Everything here, whether it is the origin, the year, or the stories on it, the tangerine peel is all over the back. He was crouching in front of the stall now, his eyes spinning. Shout twice from time to time.

"Old jars of ancient bottles of jade stones, hundreds of years of words, thousands of years of ancient paintings, come and see, good things! Take a look, after this village, there will be no such shop! ”

After the coolness of the morning, the weather gradually cooled and warmed up, and the sun grew bigger. Chen Pi squatted under the sun, without the slightest anxiety and boredom under the sun, and the expression on his face was as smiling as ever.

Suddenly, Chen Pi's eyes lit up, and his shouting suddenly began: "Old jars of ancient bottles of jade stones, hundreds of years of words, thousands of years of ancient paintings, come and see, good things! Take a look, after this village, there will be no such shop! Dig in the soil, dig in the sand......

On a summer morning, the shouts of the people under the sun were a little weak, and the shouts of Chen Pi were particularly loud.

Wu Cheng was startled by the sudden shouting, turned his head to look, and saw that the little vendor turned his head, his eyes were paired, the little vendor's mouth was cracked, his eyes were bent, and he smiled so much that he showed a mouthful of big white teeth.

"Master, come and see, I have a lot of good things here. Come and take a look, you can be sure to pick one of them!" Chen Pi revealed the unique smirk of the street vendor. He didn't lie, this time in order to attract people's eyes, he made a special trip to bring two real products. Among those bottles and jars, one is a bronze vase from a thousand years ago, and the other is a colored porcelain vase used by the royal family in the previous dynasty.

Wu Cheng listened to the chattering voice of Chen Pi, buried his head in looking at the stall in front of Chen Pi, glanced at it, swept it again, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Walked over quickly.

Chen Pi hooked his lips slightly, and sure enough, there were two real bottles, which could attract his attention. Fortunately, Wu Cheng is a real player, if he is a half-or pretending person, it is really difficult to hang him today.

Wu Cheng walked up to Chen Pi and squatted down: "What is the origin of your stone?" said and picked up a few stones on the stall and looked at them.

Chen Pi looked at the stone in Wu Cheng's hand and was stunned for a moment, and returned to its original state in an instant.

"Oh sir, you really have a good eye, this stone is a good thing, this is my grandfather dug up in the Yulin Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing a few years ago. Yulin Mountain, do you know?" Chen Pi said and looked around cautiously, then approached Wu Cheng and said mysteriously: "It is the place where the palace of the previous dynasty took refuge in the summer." As he spoke, Chen Pi straightened his waist, and his words were full of flamboyance and mystery, "My grandfather dug it up there." When I say this, you must know it, and the origin is not small. ”

Wu Cheng looked at the jade stone in his hand, the dark red stone had floating patterns like clouds and mist, the clumps were like blood-colored sunsets, and they were like burning flames, the more they looked at it, the more they looked at it, the more they looked at it, the more they looked at it. Unconsciously believed half of the words of tangerine peel.

"Really?" Wu Cheng raised his head and looked at the tangerine peel, the jade stone was held in his hand, and his thumb and index finger kept rubbing, feeling the cold and smooth touch of his fingertips.

"Of course it's true!" Chen Pi said categorically, "Look at the appearance of the master, this is dressed up, but he is a nobleman, and he is rich if he is not an official." It is to give the little ten guts. The little ones don't dare to scold the adults!"

"You're smart. Wu Cheng said and looked at the jade stone in his hand again, "If you dare to scorn me, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around." He looked at the stone in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more he couldn't put it down.

"Where did the master say, even if the little ghost fanned you wanted to tell your old man, but your old man chose this stone as soon as he came, and he knew how to do it at a glance, where did he not know which was true and which was false?" Chen Pi said truthfully.

Wu Cheng nodded with satisfaction when he listened, he liked to be said to be a knowledgeable person the most.

"How much is this stone, I want it. Wu Cheng asked while touching the stone in his hand.

"Back to my lord, one hundred and twenty taels. Chen Pi blurted out without even thinking about it.

"What? one hundred and twenty taels?" Wu Cheng looked at Chen Pi and suddenly his face fell, "I'm done walking around this whole street, and the most expensive thing can't exceed fifty taels." How dare you ask for a hundred and twenty taels!"

"Ye Xi is angry!" Chen Pi immediately cried when he heard this, "Master, you know whether this stone is worth the price." If it weren't for the illness of the old mother in the family, how could the little one take out this jade stone and sell it at a price of one hundred and twenty taels?"

"You're not a serious antique shop, you're just a stall, and the asking price is too high. Wu Cheng looked at Chen Pi condescendingly and scolded: "You tell me a serious price." ”

"Hey, don't be embarrassed, look at the appearance of the master, he is not a person who is short of money. The little one is really anxious about the illness of the old mother in the family, and he can't miss a penny. Chen Pi looked at Wu Cheng with a sad face and said, "If the master can't give so much, the small ones won't be sold." ”

Hearing this, Wu Cheng's face instantly darkened. He had always hated being threatened by others, not to mention being a street vendor.

Looking at Wu Cheng's blackened face, Chen Pi was so frightened that his legs weakened, his tongue trembled, and he said, "One hundred and twenty taels less than a small one will not be sold, but if the master buys it, the small one can be sent to the master." As he spoke, Chen Pi squatted down and picked up a painting.

Wu Cheng was still angry, and he didn't take Chen Pi's words to heart, but said: "Hmph, you dare to talk to me about conditions, which angered me, I won't give you a penny today, and I have to get rid of your mess!"

"Don't start the fire, don't start the fire, listen to me. This painting is the emperor's favorite thing today!" Chen Pi said anxiously as he unraveled his words. I'm afraid that if I take a step slower, I will be thrown off.
