Volume 4 The Gate of Memory Section 79 Cixi's Ring
"Count it on your account, count it on your account. The woman muttered dissatisfied, but still took a plate of bamboo shoots and put them heavily on the table. Turning around, he said to himself, "What accounts do you have, it's not all mine." ”
A woman is a woman, nagging all day long, not knowing that men have big things to do. Huo Er felt a little sad in his heart, looked at the middle-aged man embarrassedly, and introduced enthusiastically, "My family's ancestral snacks, Mr. try them, don't pay attention to my mother-in-law, long hair is short of knowledge." ”
The middle-aged man smiled and took a piece of bamboo shoot with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and nodded, "It does taste good." By the way, what are you talking about? I just heard that this place, the Yang family's mutton soup is more famous, why did I look for it for a long time and didn't find it?"
Huo Er's eyes showed a hint of surprise, "Mr. also knows about the Yang family's mutton soup?"
"What's wrong?" the middle-aged man remained silent, "I heard from a friend that he has been here and said that the Yang family's mutton soup here is really good." ”
"When did your friend come?" Huo Er couldn't help but ask.
"More than 10 years ago. The middle-aged man was a little hesitant.
"I said," Huo Er patted his thigh, "The Yang family's mutton soup shop has long been closed, but don't worry, sir, Mrs. Yang, the founder of the Yang family's mutton soup, is my *** mother." This trick of mine is to get the true biography of my *** mother. ”
"Oh?" the middle-aged man's expression changed, "Why didn't Mrs. Yang open it?"
"I'm gone. Referring to the death of *** mother, Huo Er *** lowered his eyes, "People in their seventies have no children to take care of them all their lives. More than 10 years ago, I couldn't walk anymore, but I still insisted on opening a store and making my own soup. I don't know why, she's not without money. One day she had a stroke, and I was helping her out, and my wife was there. I still sent *** mom to the hospital, but when I was sent to the hospital, *** mom couldn't do it, and I didn't leave a word. ”
Huo Er looked a little sad and blew his nose.
"Oh. That's a pity. There was a hint of disappointment in the middle-aged man's eyes, and his expression suddenly moved, "You said that she has no children to take care of all her life, but you don't say that she has no children and no daughters, does this mean that she has children?"
Although it was a little strange why the middle-aged man was biting his words, Huo Er still explained: "There is a secret here, sir, do you want to hear it?"
"Absolutely. The middle-aged man smiled faintly, "Idle is idle anyway." ”
"Actually, Mrs. Yang has a son. Huo Er spat and forgot about business, "But he was separated a long time ago." I'm her *** son, I've seen a photo she has on hand, and the child looks pretty good. It seems that it has not been long since I was born. But I'm not sure, because I've never seen that kid appear, and I still wonder if this son is too lonely for my *** mother. So the fantasy came out of one?"
"Oh?" the middle-aged man asked, "What about the picture, it's still there?"
"In. Huo Er nodded.
"Can you show me?" the middle-aged man asked, with an impassive expression.
"Sir, do you want to see it? Why?" Huo Er was stunned, a little puzzled and confused.
"Hmm. The middle-aged man nodded, didn't explain why, just took out a wallet, counted ten old man's heads from it and put them on the table, "You show me the photos, all the photos of Mrs. Yang." The money is yours. ”
Money is everything, and many times, money can also be used as a reason. When the middle-aged man took out the money, not only Huo Er, but even the women were wide-eyed, panting a little, Huo Er swallowed his saliva, "Sir." You're kidding, right?"
"Oh?" the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows. Indescribably chic, "I never joke." ”
"Still stunned for *** something. Huo Er suddenly turned around and roared, "Why don't you go back quickly, bring over the relics of *** mother." ”
The woman answered, and asked with some mutter, "What about the stall?"
"What to do, and no one comes, I can deal with someone. Huo Er's eyes were full of sparks, and he urged a series of urges, "Go quickly, go quickly." ”
Although I don't understand what kind of demon this middle-aged man has, Huo Er is already enchanted, it seems that for this thousand yuan, don't talk about *** mother's relics, even if *** mother is sold, there is no big problem.
Money can make ghosts grind, because of the power of money, women run faster than grinding. After a while, she had already taken a box, and with a 'ping' sound, it was placed heavily on the table, but one hand was tightly pressed on the lid of the box, looking at the middle-aged man intently, the meaning was self-evident.
The middle-aged man smiled and pushed the money over, but the woman's voice was a little hoarse, "You can think about it, these things are yours, and the money can't be returned." ”
"If I'm satisfied, I'll probably give you some more. The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
The woman was somewhat relieved at this time, pushed the box over, but grabbed the money in her hand, and just muttered, "You can't go back." ”
The box is not big, and there is absolutely no problem for one person to pick it up with one hand. The box looks very strong, and it is brushed with red paint, which has a festive appearance, but the red paint has long been mottled and fallen, as if the bride who can't be married, and there is a kind of desolation.
The box is not locked, and listening to the sound of it being lowered just now, the box is not heavy. The middle-aged man looked at the box for a long time, and the stall owner and his wife were worried, for fear that he would return the place, so they slowly opened the box.
The contents were simple, with only half a wooden comb, a few yellowed photographs, and a small, ring-like box.
The middle-aged man's gaze fell first on the photo and picked it up. One photo is of a child, swaddling, black and white yellowed photo.
Another photo is of a young woman, also in black and white, she looks very delicate, with two thick black braids on her shoulders, but she doesn't look rustic.
The woman is very healthy and looks beautiful, and her eyes are looking forward vividly and lifelike.
"This is Mrs. Yang," Huo Er was a little apprehensive, feeling that a box, with this bit of tatters, it was a bit too much to ask for a thousand yuan, because of this mentality, he felt that it was necessary to introduce it to the middle-aged people, "It's when I was young." After adding a sentence, I felt that it was nonsense, and smiled awkwardly, "The old lady has always been very *** net profit, even before she died." ”
The middle-aged man looked at Mrs. Yang's photo for a long time, and then picked up the third photo, which turned out to be a man!
Seeing the middle-aged man looking at him suspiciously, Huo Er was a little embarrassed, "Sir, this man seems to be, it seems to be Mrs. Yang's lover." ”
The man in the photo doesn't look handsome, but his eyes are so deep that people can't figure out what he's thinking.
This kind of man obviously belongs to the second sight of the man, and the more you look at it, the more flavorful it becomes. This is similar to a woman at second sight, a landed woman looks ***, but after a long time, even if she looks at the rose, it is tasteless, let alone a woman.
A smart woman, or rather a smart man, will know how to be subtle.
The man in the photo is particularly subtle, his facial features are thoughtful, and he is not very good, but because of a pair of eyes, it looks very connotative.
Is it because of this that Mrs. Yang likes this man?
The middle-aged man looked at the photo for a long time, then put it down, and stretched out his hand to the box, which made Huo Er's heart tremble, and he couldn't help but say, "The box is empty." ”
He thought he understood the purpose of the middle-aged man, who was actually very cunning. He is similar to those antique dealers who bought kittens in the early days, and he used the purpose of buying kittens to buy Qing Dynasty celadon plates used by kittens! He bought photos not for the purpose, but for the antiques left by Mrs. Yang was the real purpose.
Huo Er couldn't laugh or cry, and felt that this middle-aged man was really not smart, even if Mrs. Yang left any antiques, they would not be stupid enough to put them in the box, his wife's hands really knew more than pickpockets.
Slowly picked up the box and opened it gently, the middle-aged man's every move seemed to be thoughtful, "Why did you leave an empty box?
"There was originally a jade ring inside, and I heard that it was very valuable. Huo Er explained: "But sir, my *** mother didn't leave it to me." Actually, I've only heard about this, and I don't know if it's there. She said that when her house was raided after liberation, she snatched the ring, and she kept the box. Because this seems to be the only gift given to her by her lover, she sees things and thinks about people, so she left this box. ”
"I see. The middle-aged man nodded and put the box back, thinking about something, but Huo Er was a little apprehensive, "Sir, your money?"
"What?" The middle-aged man came back to his senses and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Huo Er's wife taking a step back with the money in her hand, "Of course I will buy this box, do you want to sit on the ground and start the price?"
"Not really. Seeing that the middle-aged man did not regret it, Huo Er had some confidence in his heart, "I mean, I will pack these things up for my husband." ”
"Okay. The middle-aged man nodded, and even paid for the meal, Huo Er wanted to refuse, but was unceremoniously accepted by his wife, the middle-aged man did not have any dissatisfaction, and suddenly asked, "Do you know the origin of that jade ring?"
"Listening to Mrs. Yang, it seems that it was worn by Cixi back then. Huo Er smiled bitterly, "Of course, no one knows whether it's true or not, even if my *** mother says that Wu Zetian has worn it, it is estimated that no one will object." ”
