Chapter 56: Antique Street
On weekends, there was no snow or wind, but the sun was not strong. Fortunately, everyone came out of the house wearing thick clothes, so when several people got together, they didn't complain about the cold weather.
Cui Can came with his younger brother, first, he wanted his younger brother to get together with his friends, and secondly, he wanted to cultivate his younger brother's cultural heritage. Although his younger brother has studied hard recently and his grades are good, he prefers science and still doesn't like Chinese and English, so Cui Can plans to slowly cultivate his interest in liberal arts.
"Brother Tao, Brother Wen, Brother Ming!" Cui Di is very happy that he can still get together with a few friends in this weather, especially the last time there was an accident at home, he begged them. Although only Cao Rongtao helped, Yu Haiwen and Ma Tianming also helped, and the next day, their father went to ask about his family, so he remembered this gratitude deeply.
The three of them nodded to Tredy in greeting.
"You're so early!" Cui Can is a punctual girl, no matter in her past life or present life, she doesn't like to delay other people's time. So it wasn't nine o'clock when she arrived, and the three boys had already arrived, which made her feel that these children were worth associating.
"We've just arrived, too." It's not bad today, Cao Rongtao spoke, but there was still a suspicious flush on his face.
Yu Haiwen and Ma Tianming rolled their eyes speechlessly, they really didn't understand the boss. Why do you suddenly know to be shy these days? You must know that in the past few months, their boss has been pestering Cui Can, and he hasn't seen him embarrassed or embarrassed or anything? What the hell happened, and he was even embarrassed?
Cao Rongtao was very happy to see Cui Can, the surprise in his eyes was something that no one could ignore, even if he only saw it yesterday, he was still very happy to see Cui Can today. But he felt embarrassed when he thought of what his father had told him that night. Her father actually encouraged himself to pursue her, and it was for the purpose of getting married. Although he doesn't have a playful attitude, marriage seems to be far away from him, right? Such a pure relationship was suddenly broken by an adult, and he also set a goal, which made him feel that this relationship had become sacred for a while, and it was not easy. So he didn't dare to appear in front of Cui Can these days, afraid that she would feel the change in herself and know the purpose of the family's relationship with her.
But it seems that he has made things worse, and when I see her twice, I don't dare to speak, I don't dare to look at her, and I must feel something with her cleverness. She wouldn't know she had some kind of purpose for her, would she? Thinking of this possibility, Cao Rongtao looked away, but glanced at Cui Can from the corner of his eye.
Fortunately, she didn't set her eyes on herself, but at Yu Haiwen, and her eyes were so serious. It made him suddenly jealous, how could he look at a man other than himself like that? Shouldn't she pay more attention to herself in her eyes? After all, her liking for her is so obvious, shouldn't she like to communicate with herself? Why is it that in her eyes, her friends are treated the same?
Cao Rongtao is very entangled, jealous of the attention his friends receive, but also worried that Cui Can treats him and his friends equally. His eyes kept falling on Cui Can, and he also ignored his expectations and awkwardness just now.
Cui Di has been observing Cao Rongtao, knowing his thoughts about his sister, and thanking him for his help to his family. Especially in the future, the two will cooperate, so he pays more attention to Cao Rongtao. It's just that why is he frowning for a while and shy for the next? What's going on?
Cui Can said hello to everyone, and didn't care too much about what happened to Cao Rongtao, so he began to urge Yu Haiwen. "Haven, take me to the thrift market." Usually that kind of place is called a thrift market, right? For a while, Cui Can couldn't be sure.
"Okay, I'll take you there, but that place is not called a thrift market, it's called an antique market." Yu Haven had been there with his father once, so he knew a little bit about it. And Cao Rongtao and Ma Tianming can only know that there is such a place, and they don't know how it is.
"Huh!" Cui Can felt a rare embarrassment, he still got the wrong name.
"Let's go." Yu Haiwen is a very gentlemanly boy, and he didn't see Cui Can's embarrassment, but shouted loudly and took the lead in riding the bicycle.
The antique market is in a remote street in Dingping County, where the houses are all low bungalows and the streets are not very wide. However, these houses have a long history at first glance, and when people walk here, they are greeted by a thick history. Dingping County has a history of more than 1,000 years and is an ancient cultural city. Although the county seat is not large, it retains the most important buildings in the history of 1,000 years, the ancient city wall and the bell and drum tower.
Cui Can still remembers that these things are national second-class protected cultural relics, and in more than ten years, it has also become a tourist attraction. Although the cultural heritage is not very rich, it has also produced famous calligraphers, making it a hometown of calligraphy more than 20 years later. In her previous life, she had left the city early, and her understanding of this place was also through other people's dictations, so she was very happy to have the opportunity to learn about it in such detail at this time.
followed Yu Haiwen's car, and kept asking him about the ancient street along the way. I didn't expect this boy, who usually just follows Cao Rongtao and is easy to ignore, to be so knowledgeable. Not only does he know the history of this place, but he can also tell stories and legends about this place, so that Cui Can and everyone can hear it.
Even Cao Rongtao had to admit that Yu Haiwen spoke very well, but what was the matter with Cui Can's bright eyes looking at him? Could it be that Cui Can likes him? So what do you want to do with him? Is it for brotherhood to let go? Or is it for Cui Can to compete with him? For a while, Cao Rongtao's brows furrowed.
No one paid attention to Cao Rongtao's feelings at this time, because Yu Haiwen's explanation was too attractive. Everyone's ears were given to him, and even his eyes were to observe the scenes in those legends and stories because of his explanations.
This antique street is only more than 100 meters, not to mention the narrow street, and there are not many shops. Coupled with the weather at this time, there are hardly any people to see on the streets. Everyone pushed their bicycles to the side of the road, locked their bicycles, and followed Yu Haiwen to shop after shop.
In the first shop, the book spirit began to recover. It turns out that it can't communicate with Cui Can forever, and it turns out that it will waste a lot of its physical strength to communicate with Cui Can once. So many times it is asleep, and only when something about Cui Can stimulates it, it will wake up from its deep sleep. At this point it smelled of history, so it woke up without being urged.
"Ah, don't say this small place is really good, a lot of things in the store are genuine."
Cui Can was surprised to hear Shuling's words, but he didn't expect that there were really antiquities here. Anyway, she didn't understand this thing, and since Shuling said that many of them were genuine, she began to look at the things on the counter in detail.
There was a stove in the middle of the shop, and the owner was sitting there roasting his hands, and he only raised his eyelids at their arrival. Cui Can didn't care about his attitude, but looked at it comfortably, and Cao Rongtao They were all based on her, since she didn't care, they could ignore the attitude of the shopkeeper.
Yu Haiwen and Ma Tianming were also very curious about the things in this store, and when they saw Cui Can look carefully, they also looked carefully. It's a pity that they don't have this knowledge, and they don't have the comments of the book spirit, so these things are old goods in their eyes. The two didn't bother Cui Can's observation, just thinking that after she made a choice, she could learn some knowledge along with it.
Cao Rongtao and Cui Di looked at the things in the store by themselves, and when they saw something interested, they would reach out and touch it. After all, this is an antique seller, so it's not all the small things on the counter, and there are some large ornaments that are placed outside the counter.
The shopkeeper did not greet them, but his eyes followed them, fearing that they would break something, or put small items in his pocket.
Cui Can carefully looked at the object in his hand, this is an inkstone. I can't see any material in the black, and because of the use, it is even a little damaged. And based on the degree of damage, it can be judged that this is a thing with a long history. Although Shu Ling was stopped by Cui Can to tell him the answer, Cui Can looked at this thing and felt that something was missing. She couldn't tell how it felt, but she felt that this thing shouldn't be what it looked like. So after hesitating for a moment, she put the object down.
Shuling didn't expect Cui Can to have such a keen feeling, and he was very surprised, but he was also more optimistic about this master.
Cui Can picked up the second one, which was an eye bag. The cigarette holder is jade, warm to the touch, it is a good object, and the cigarette holder is also jade, but it is different from the jade of the rod, and it looks like Hetian white jade. The cigarette pouch pot is made of copper, which is not too big, and it looks delicate. Although he doesn't know the history of this cigarette pouch pot, with these materials, Cui Can knows that the price can't be cheap. And she came to pick up the leak today, so it was not her choice to look at an object that was a good thing.
Put it down and pick up the third one. This is a flower pot, like many flower pots now. It's just that it has a somewhat earthy exterior and looks clean and tidy without new pots. Based on its shape, it's easy to tell it's a modern product. But looking at its simplicity and heaviness, I think it should be an antiquity. For a while, Cui Can was a little difficult to choose.
Yu Haiwen and Ma Tianming saw Cui Can's hesitation about an object for the first time, and the two of them were also interested, and came over to look at the flower pot carefully. Not to mention that they are uneducated, anyone can see at a glance what it is.
The boss's eyes also narrowed nervously, this girl really took a fancy to her flower pot?
