P.S.: Thank you for the tip! Thank you!
Sorry, it's past zero again. This is on the 19th, and on the 20th at 17:30 punctual change.
-----------------------------------------------------------
At this moment, a shouting and scolding voice came from the stairs: "Liu Er, I have told you many times, this washing damage is too serious and not worth it." Stop pestering our shopkeeper, the store is very busy, and I want to sell you elsewhere. ”
Everyone forgot about the dispute in front of them, and looked over in a blink of an eye, three or four people had just come up from the first floor, and there were two men walking in front, one of whom Shu Yao knew, it was Wang Xi who took them to buy Zhuangzi last time, and the other fat man was bowing his head and whispering to Wang Xi.
The guy behind the two of them is the one who shouts angrily, and the one who scolds is the person who follows the father and son behind the most, and that father should be "Liu Lao Er".
"Please, please, shopkeeper Li, this is the best jade, it is handed down from our ancestors, you have a jade carving factory, and it can be valuable to divide it into other things. You're good to go! The child is dying, and I don't want much, as long as I have enough money for medicine, you should do a good deed. Liu Laoer, who was dressed in an old beige white robe, pleaded with a pleading face.
The chubby shopkeeper Li spoke: "Liu Laoer, it's not that I don't help you, your jade should have been good, but unfortunately, it has obviously been bumped many times and has dark cracks." There are also a lot of serious scratches on the surface. Our craftsmen are busy, who wants to take the time to deal with such old things? Liu Lao Er, if I spend money to buy this pen wash of yours, it will be smashed in my own hands, and the owner will not accept it. And the price is too low, you don't want to, right? After all, it's an ancestral thing, so it's good to keep a memory. ”
Liu Lao Er squatted down with a depressed face, put down the white jade pen in his hand, hugged his head and muttered to himself: "This ...... This...... What am I going to do? What am I going to do? The child is dying of ...... illness."
The six- and seven-year-old boy next to Liu Lao Er knelt down and kowtowed in front of Shopkeeper Li with a "poof": "Please save my mother, please save my mother." ”
Shu Yao looked at the white jade brush, it should be carved from a whole piece of white jade, about four inches long, two or three inches wide, and there is a dragon carved at each end of it, the shape is very symmetrical, the body of the dragon leans forward, and the strange shape reveals a kind of aura. It can be seen that the carving of this wash is very good.
Thinking about the conversation between Liu Lao Er and Shopkeeper Li just now, Shu Yao believes that the jade quality of the wash should indeed be excellent, and the jade ornaments that can be used as heirlooms are not ordinary, if it is not seriously damaged, it should be the shopkeeper Li begging Liu Lao Er to sell it now, right?
Badly damaged? Can it be more serious than the hosta of my mother? I heard that when I and my younger brother Shuwen were held in my mother's arms when I was two or three years old, I liked to pull off the hosta on my mother's head to play, but I was crippled after falling countless times.
However, after one night in the mahogany box, it immediately turned into a delicate, warm, lustrous and beautiful brand new hosta.
Shu Yao had an idea in her heart, and whispered a few words in Erniu's ear, and Erniu stepped forward: "This uncle, how much do you want to sell this wash?" ”
Liu Lao Er raised his head suddenly, looked at Er Niu in disbelief, and then looked at Shu Yao and Nian'er: "The girl really wants to buy it?" Sixty or fifty taels of silver is feasible? He originally wanted to sell it for a hundred taels, but the disparaging words of the shopkeeper Li just now were still in his ears, and he really had no bottom, "This is made of the whole piece of the best mutton fat white jade, the girl can ask the craftsman to polish it, remove the seriously damaged places, and cut it into small pieces and inlay a few pieces of jewelry, all of which are excellent." ”
Only then did Wang Xi notice Shu Yao: "Miss Xia, do you want to buy this jade pen wash?" Shopkeeper Li said just now, this thing is no longer valuable, do you want to buy it for your eldest brother or give it away? For you Uncle Kim? Why don't you spend a little more silver and pick a better one? Uncle Wang asked Shopkeeper Li to give you cheaper. "Wang Xi also heard that someone from the ** family gave a reward to the three children of the Xia family a while ago, I don't understand how Shu Yao would still fall in love with such a broken thing?
Shu Yao pointed at the little boy and smiled: "Xie Lu Xie Uncle Wang, but I like the shape of this brush wash very much, I also want to help him, I don't want him to lose his mother like our brothers and sisters." After speaking, he took out a silver ticket of fifty taels and a silver ticket of ten taels from his purse, and asked Erniu to hand it to Liu Laoer. I'll give you sixty taels, and you should hurry up and grab the medicine. ”
Wang Xi realized in a trance, what a kind child! No wonder Golden Tongue loves their three siblings so much.
Nian'er, who was standing beside Shu Yao, also said to her own nurse: "Mother Zhang, give ten taels of silver to this uncle, I hope that the little brother's mother can be cured, and don't become a motherless child like me and Yao'er's sister." ”
Liu Laoer's father and son's eyes were red, and Liu Laoer pulled his son: "Daqiang, hurry, kowtow to the two girls, with this silver, you can buy ginseng tablets for your mother to use in medicine." Lang Zhong said that adding a little ginseng to the child's mother's medicine would be of great help. Seventy taels of silver is enough for a month, right?
The little boy named "Da Qiang" rushed over and knelt down: "Xie Lu Xie girl, Xie Lu Xie two girls!" Daqiang will take it to heart. Although Daqiang is kneeling and has a very respectful attitude, his back is straight, and his bright eyes are full of gratitude, excitement, age-inappropriate Chengwen, and the confidence that "he will definitely repay his kindness".
Shu Yao said: "Uncle Liu, Daqiang's mother needs to participate in the film to save her life?" There are still some ginseng pieces left before my mother, and we are useless, if the uncle does not avoid taboos, I can give them to you, those ginseng pieces are sent by the elders in the capital, I heard that they are excellent. Things are at home, you tell my maid where you live, I will send it to you when I get home, you can take it yourself, my house is on Xitang Street, you can ask Xia Zhutou's house. ”
Liu Lao Er hurriedly said: "Don't avoid taboos, don't avoid taboos, it's just, it's just, how can this be embarrassing?" "Ginseng slices, not robb slices! But the girl didn't look like she was trying to trick him. Summer catcher? Is that the first head catcher in Yulin, who is famous for his kindness and bravery? I heard that their children are very blessed, and they don't know where to attract spirit beasts, and they also make the unique Xia family tofu.
With the help of the girls of the Xia family and their blessings, the child's illness will definitely get better. "Xia, Miss Xia, shall we go to your house to get it? How can I bother you to send it again? ”
Shu Yao nodded: "Medicinal materials are only valuable if they play a role, besides, those ginseng pieces are also leftovers from my mother's past, you don't have to worry too much." Well, come to my house in two hours and come to my eldest brother. ”
Daqiang kowtowed to Shu Yao respectfully, his eyes full of gratitude
