Chapter Twenty-Five: Open Your Mouth and Come Together
There are five of them, Chen Yixin and another soft and glutinous female classmate Song Xiu are the first year of high school, Ruan Jia is the second year of high school, the male classmate with Ruan Jia is the third year of high school, and the local classmate Xiao Yiyan is also a second year of high school.
Qiao Feng is nineteen years old this year, and he has been learning calligraphy with the elders of his family since he was a child, and this time he proposed to go to Panjiayuan to find a pair of passable calligraphy and paintings as a birthday gift for his mother.
The organizing committee gave the first prize a bonus of 800 yuan, the second prize of 500 yuan, and the third prize of 200 yuan.
Coupled with the school's gift, Chen Yixin's bonus is 1,000 yuan, which is all in her pocket at this time.
Chen Yixin's goal of making money is not here, but she has been yearning for the world-famous Pan Jiayuan for a long time.
A group of five people took a taxi to Panjiayuan, there are many people who set up stalls in it, it is said that there is a ghost market here, it only starts in the middle of the night, and the stall is closed before dawn.
Xiao Yiyan has the characteristics of the locals, and he is particularly capable of talking with a mouth. I heard that all the teachers in my family are liberal arts, and I have been exposed to it since I was a child, and I have historical allusions at my fingertips, and I am worthy of winning the first prize for my beautiful writing.
Listening to him is like telling a story, a group of people laugh and laugh as they walk, and stop to look at something fun. Before they could find the calligraphy and painting that fit their eyes, the three little girls carried a lot of small things in their hands.
It's not a baby, there are one or two yuan, and there are ten or so yuan, so they just want to have fun. The stall owners have good eyes, and they know what they are doing at a glance, and they are also happy to make the three little girls happy.
"This woman, shopping is in nature. Xiao Yiyan pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Look, you can even go shopping around the stall with a full load, Brother Qiao, why don't we find a place to sit down and wait for them." ”
"No, there are so many people here, and if the three girls have an accident, the two of us can't afford to take this responsibility. ”
Qiao Feng poked Ruan Jia.
"Jiajia, it's just suitable, accompany me to see the calligraphy and paintings, it's not early, you have to find a place to eat." ”
Ruan Jia glanced up at the two bored boys and pouted.
"Okay, okay, we won't buy it, let's go, you lead the way, we'll follow. ”
Chen Yixin had little interest in this, and only bought two imitation snuff bottles, a jade cigarette holder and an incense burner.
As soon as he pulled his companion up and was about to leave here, he saw a small stall diagonally opposite with a large pile of copper coins. She was immediately interested.
"Why don't you go buy calligraphy and paintings, I'll look at the copper coins here, and you can come to me directly later." ”
"Would you admit this?"
"I can't talk about it. I met a professor at my house and told me a little bit about it, and I wanted to verify what I learned with physical objects, and copper coins are not expensive anyway. ”
"Don't be fascinated by people, the possibility of copper coins leaking is too low. A year or two earlier, there can be more treasures here, and the real goods that can be bought in these two years are the waves, and your little bonus is lost, and the blisters can't bulge. ”
The persuasion of her companions did not discourage Chen Yixin's enthusiasm, but she also knew that she would not be at ease if she was left alone, so she simply walked over and communicated with the boss, fifty yuan, and pulled a bunch of them.
The owner of the stall has already screened the copper coins, and he has deceived outsiders and treasure hunters who think they have a vision. Looking at Chen Yixin's dress, he didn't make too much of a pit, almost one-third of the copper coins were drawn, and he gave her a bag to pack.
"Today's eye-opening, people buy copper coins one by one, are you buying catties?"
Xiao Yiyan checked the bag of copper coins, and he sank.
"On catties, on catties, I'll buy a few red ropes and weave a bracelet for all of you. I heard that embedding a few ancient coins can keep you safe, but the spirit is not spiritual. ”
Chen Yixin interrupted Xiao Yiyan's words with a smile, urging them to leave quickly, don't wait for it to be really dark, what kind of calligraphy and painting are you reading.
Xiao Yiyan has been to the elders of the family many times, and he knows where to sell what to do. With his companions, he found a shop of ancient calligraphy and painting, and began to shout when he entered the door.
"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, come to business. ”
A middle-aged man came out from behind, wearing a robe and a horse coat, which made a few dirt buns widen their eyes.
"Uncle Zhang's shop is ancestral, what kind of calligraphy and painting do you want are here, Tong Su is not bullied. It's easy to buy fakes when you buy outside, and it's absolutely true here, but it's a little more expensive. ”
Xiao didn't hide a word from them. After inquiring about Qiao Feng's approximate budget, he muttered to Uncle Zhang for a while, and took out a few painting scrolls from the back.
Except for Qiao Feng and Xiao Yiyan, who knew a little about calligraphy and painting, the other three little girls didn't know anything.
I have nothing to do while sitting, so I just came to help Chen Yixin divide the copper coins.
Ruan Jia and Song Xiu can only identify the simplest ones, and they are responsible for cleaning up the ones that are in good condition. Chen Yixin picked out a slightly higher value and set it aside, wanting to scrape together a little five emperors to string a bracelet for them.
The Five Emperors' money is not so mysterious, what kind of magic weapon is not an illegal weapon, that is something only in novels. Normally, the folk exorcism and evil spirits are used by the small five emperor coins, and the copper coins cast by the five dynasties from Shunzhi to Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty are taken.
Chen Yixin also finished reading the books related to the history of ancient coins recommended by Professor Zhang, and when it comes to this part of the history, it is the beginning of the way, from the pre-Qin to the last dynasty, the evolution of currency from her mouth is a condensed history.
"The little girl is amazing. ”
In addition to the boss and Xiao Yiyan, there were other customers in the store, listening to Chen Yixin's soft and glutinous talk about the evolution of currency, they all felt that they had gained a lot of knowledge.
Especially when Chen Yixin was telling, he also used a red rope to weave a wishful knot, stringed copper coins, and wore them on Ruan Jia's wrist. He also braided a blessing knot and strung three copper coins to Song Xiu on the bag.
"Girls generally wear these two ways. Jiajia may be more trustworthy in their hometown, wearing the little five emperors' money on their hands to ensure safety, and Xiu'er, which is called 'heaven, earth and man', is more inclined to Confucianism. Everyone wears it and plays with it. ”
In a large pile of copper coins, there were three sets of small five emperor coins, one of which was still a little damaged.
According to the personalities of the two female classmates, Chen Yixin chose a way that they could accept and made a small gift to them, thanking them for helping to clean up the copper coins and getting closer to each other.
For the remaining two sets, she plans to give her mother one set and Yan Mingli one set. If you are lucky enough to find the Little Five Emperors again, the little uncle and Sun Chao will also have to be arranged.
"Xinxin, you are a woman over a man!"
Xiao was not happy to say anything, ran out, packed all the copper coins from the hawker stall, and slammed them on the table.
"Come on, come again, I can't find two sets. ”
Chen Yixin couldn't cry or laugh, explaining that this was a small game, and they didn't believe in numerology, and the little five emperors' money was just a psychological comfort in their hands.
The owner of the calligraphy and painting shop looked at them happily, and joked that he also had a lot of copper coins here, and if it was convenient, let Chen Yixin help him weave a bracelet, and he would sell it in the store.
