Chapter 73: Jade & Heirloom
"I've heard the saying that the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, and the cheap can only see the 'cheap'!" Su Bai walked up to the "middle-aged woman" who was already screaming in fright, and continued mercilessly, "Don't you see that everyone else is avoiding us?" That's because they have vision, a person like you with such a low mind and such a high-profile attitude, it may be more promising to go back to the furnace and create another one......" After speaking, he ignored the "middle-aged woman" who was full of tears on her face, took Su Di's hand and left together. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Some people may think that Su Bai is a child who can only talk ruthlessly and is soft in nature and ignores the world, only Su Di's sharp eyes can see that Su Bai seems to have thrown everything on the body of a "middle-aged woman".
"Sister, ...... just now"
"Shhhh Su Bai replied softly, rubbing his brother's soft hair by the way, "Hey, it's a bit of a waste for her!" ”
If it is Su Bai's servant, he will definitely o(╯□╰)o when he hears this!
Even the mounting paper plus cinnabar black dog blood is all down, and the cost of a rune paper is only a few points, even if it wastes Su Bai's spiritual power, but as a rune that attracts the power of heaven and earth, the consumption of spiritual power is actually very small. Almost negligible.
I really don't know where the "waste" comes from.
However, none of the gods who tasted the pleasure of shopping followed the Su family's siblings, and naturally no one complained.
The next merchants treated the Su family sisters and brothers a little better.
In the apocalyptic environment, people naturally become more "real", and snobbery is no longer a simple "derogatory term", this is not the survival of the country's righteousness, but the survival of human beings.
As he walked, Su Di suddenly felt that the soft little hand in his palm suddenly stiffened. Haven't asked what happened. Su Bai strode to a stall with Su Di.
Looking at Su Baijing's shining, Su Di was naturally happy to cooperate.
"Old man, how do you sell these?" Su Bai asked politely.
The stall in front of him was a little far away from the middle-aged woman who was "making trouble" just now, and behind the stall sat an old gentleman with warm eyebrows and a lofty temperament, with his eyes slightly closed, although his body was very thin, but he was still sitting as steadily as a bronze bell. Another little girl, who was not yet 7 or 8 years old, was holding the old gentleman's knees, with her head bowed, and seemed to be asleep.
Unlike other stalls, it is not just an ordinary piece of plastic sheeting placed on the ground - on top of the plastic sheeting, several layers of fabric are also laid, the bottom layer is moisture-proof, the cotton cloth in the middle is shockproof, and the top is protected by "velvet". I can see what the "stall owner" old gentleman wants to sell, which is definitely his "favorite".
In the whole stall, there are more than 20 pieces of jade. There are big and small, but the big ones are not more than the size of an egg, but the small ones are about the same as ordinary dimes. The materials are also different, there are nephrite jade such as Hetian seed jade, of course, there are also some mountain materials, and even jadeite jadeite of ice species.
What moved Su Bai the most was the piece of "Hetian white jade pendant with four colors" that the old gentleman buckled in the palm of his hand.
Su Bai wanted to open his mouth and come over to take a closer look, and by the way, he confirmed that when he was the heroine of a pit text under the pen of a certain author, the knowledge of cultural relics he learned was right. It's a pity that I'm afraid that as soon as I stretch out my hand, I will directly anger the old man.
Judging from the appearance of the old gentleman alone, we know that he must be the kind of old man who has the foundation and precipitation and is worthy of respect. Such a person is the most intolerant of other people's unreasonable contempt. If it weren't for sensing an extremely warm and thick energy trapped in Bai Yu, Su Bai would not have found the old gentleman directly.
The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Bai. The old man was not interested in watching the "farce" just now, he just felt sorry for his little granddaughter.
In this "cannibalistic" world, the son and daughter-in-law are gone, leaving only the only little granddaughter, but because he is a literati and lacks ability, the little granddaughter has been eating steamed buns with him for several days.
I remembered that my little granddaughter said obediently, "I'm not hungry, grandpa eat!" The old man was sad for a while, and finally decided to contribute his "favorites" - nothing is more important than food.
Even so, the old man doesn't want to "sell" his things cheaply. He knows his stuff best, all of them are genuine, and they are also the best products of the era. Especially the piece of white jade in the palm of the hand, but it is an ancient jade handed down from the Eastern Han Dynasty. The old man never told others that his body was so hard that it was inseparable from that piece of mutton fat and white jade.
Even if he took out all his beloved jade for sale, the old man who carved the proud bones of the literati in his bones also hoped that his jade could be sent to the hands of "destined people".
When Su Bai secretly looked at the old man's appearance, the old man did not forget to do the same "look".
Su Bai looked at the old man calmly and sincerely, and in the end, the old man silently shifted his gaze first.
"These things, how to redeem them, you think about the price yourself, I will only nod and shake my head, of course, I will only shake my head three times, more than three times, you guys will go! Also, I only exchange food – nutritious food that is suitable for kids. Old Man Zhen quickly pulled his gaze back and stared at Su Bai deadly. made Su Bai feel the pressure increase sharply in an instant.
"Including the piece in your hand?" Withstanding the pressure, Su Bai asked the question he wanted to know the most.
Old Man Zhen's eyes suddenly sharpened again, but when he saw the little granddaughter on his lap, he sighed and said, "Of course, but the price also has to be ...... by you" Seeing that Su Bai did not raise any objections, but just listened attentively, Old Man Zhen gritted his teeth, "This piece of ancient jade, you only have one chance to evaluate it!" If it doesn't satisfy me, don't exchange! ”
"Good!" Su Bai looked at the old man, then looked at the child next to him and solemnly agreed.
The image of these two people is not mentioned in the novel, maybe a person like this who has no abilities and has perseverance in his bones really can't adapt to the life of the last days. After all, the current old man met Su Bai, and he could exchange some good things, if it was not long before the crystal nucleus was widely used, it was estimated that the best jade in this place would not be able to exchange for a piece of crystal nucleus.
Su Bai and the old gentleman had lowered their voices as much as possible in their conversations, but the child, who had been hungry for a long time, still couldn't sleep well, and woke up after the slightest movement.
Knowing that his grandfather had something to do, the child obediently squatted aside, waiting for his big bright eyes to look at Su Di, who was also obediently squatting.
Since the end of the world, Su Di has never seen a child again, and he has lost a lot of memories, except for his life instinct, his impression of children is about zero.
The obedient Su Di looked at the obedient little girl, such a situation fell into the eyes of the old man, which reduced the vicissitudes of life in the old man's eyes a little, his heart moved slightly, and he added another condition: "Say, what do you like?" If so, if you can tell the origin of the jade, I'll give you one! ”
It's not that the old man is poor and generous, but when he saw the rare quiet and peaceful appearance of his little granddaughter, he decided to give the Su family sister and brother a favor - looking at the young man's appearance, her sister must have protected him very well, and the tutors of the two are also good.
Seeing the reluctance of the old man's heart, in order to show his respect, Su Bai first took a deep breath, and then opened his mouth: "This piece is the old pit ice boxwood full of green jade, and the pendant is carved into a gourd shape, which means that Fu Lu is complete, and the carving lines are smooth and freehand, which is written by a famous artist...... These two pieces cannot be said to be jade, but they are the most famous seal stones, or the Tianhuang stone, the first of the seal stones, and the rare bloodstone...... As for these, they belong to the category of nephrite, and these pieces have a dry texture and a blue and white color, which should be mountain materials...... Although this piece is topaz, the texture is oily, the hand is warm and cool, and the color is not popular, which is really a fine nephrite...... And these pieces are ancient jade with a vintage......"
The old gentleman's face, with Su Bai's narration, changed from sudden serious anger, to slow calm, and finally turned to relief: "I originally thought you were a fledgling arrogant little girl, who came to Luban to show off carpenter's skills, but I didn't expect it, ah ......" Unexpectedly, this child was just saying that even if she gave her the jade, she would not let the "pearl be dusted".
The old gentleman didn't finish his words, Su Bai pointed to the piece of jade in the old man's hand again: "Old gentleman, I think those jade just now are not as good as this piece in your hand, your piece is a mutton fat white jade pendant made in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it should be the style of lotus root Ruyi." Not to mention its material, it is the top sheep fat jade, and it is not considered to be the ancient jade of the Eastern Han Dynasty (after all, the jade and jade left by the Western Han Dynasty are more classic), I think it is the most worthy of attention, it should be because it is a piece of jade used by celebrities, and the jade pendant worn by Concubine Zhen Mi during the Three Kingdoms period! ”
The old man was a little shocked at this time, what he didn't know was that Su Bai had really passed through Zhen Mi herself in his previous experience of pit writing, and naturally recognized the "beloved things" that she often played with. It's just that Su Bai is a young genius who has a great deal of research on historical antiquities, thinking like this, Aicai's heart suddenly rose, and he even had to get up......
It's a pity that because he hasn't eaten enough for a long time, the old man has low blood sugar, and when he was supported by the Su family's sisters and brothers, he realized that it was now the end of the world full of zombies, and he looked at the little granddaughter who was holding his thighs and was slightly afraid and worried in his eyes, and looked at his dry old hand - what is the use of being a genius in the history of cultural relics.
Immediately, he turned his gaze to Su Bai and said, "Don't say so much, you just need to tell me what to exchange." Including this family heirloom jade in my hand, I will give you three chances! ”
This is the old gentleman's biggest concession, originally this piece of lotus root Ruyi mutton fat jade, is to be left to his little granddaughter heirloom, it's a pity, it's a pity...... (To be continued.) )
