Unexpectedly, there are treasures on this small stall.

Seeing Ye Tao stop, the middle-aged man who was setting up the stall hurriedly showed a smiling face: "Come young man, take a look, I have good treasures here, look at this, the ancient famous sword, or made of bronze." ”

"Look at this, an ancient porcelain pot."

"Look at how good this is, pure jade......"

The middle-aged man had a smile on his face, tempting this Ye Tao to buy.

However, Ye Tao didn't feel any aura from those objects, to put it bluntly, it is estimated that they are all fakes.

The middle-aged man looked at Ye Tao's face, he suddenly untied a small cloth bag and took something from it.

"Brother, look at this. This is what we sold to me some time ago, when we were collecting rags in the countryside, you know. What a baby. ”

Ye Tao fixed his eyes and saw that it was a black thing with a simple shape.

The shape of this thing is very peculiar, it is on a base, there are two animals, one is a snake, and the other is a toad.

The snake wrapped the toad's body close to the ground and spat out letters.

The toad, on the other hand, had a bulging belly and a long mouth, as if it was struggling to resist.

Ye Tao squinted his eyes, and his heart suddenly jumped. Because he felt that the bursts of aura emanated from this shape.

Looking at it calmly, hey, how can there be something in the toad's stomach?

However, he remained silent, just took it and flicked it on the toad with his hand, which made a popping sound and was a little dull.

Ye Tao pretended to take a casual look and said, "This thing is not gold and copper, what's good?" ”

"Brother, you only know that gold is worth a lot? The value of this antique is much more expensive than gold. As soon as the middle-aged man heard Ye Tao speak, he knew that he was a chick, and he didn't understand, so he was secretly happy in his heart.

"How much?" Ye Tao asked casually again.

"This ornament is going to be worth a lot of money, and it can be sold for tens of thousands. I see that you also like antiques, let's get married, and the preferential price is 10,000 yuan for you. The middle-aged man whispered.

Ye Tao grinned: "Big brother, this thing costs 10,000?" You can keep it to yourself. ”

He knew that this was a good thing, and there was a strong aura on it, but the price of 10,000 made him startled and hurriedly shook his head.

The middle-aged man also saw that Ye Tao was not a rich man, and it was not easy to kill him.

"That's it, I'll give you a little more discount, 8000, how about 8000?" The middle-aged man said hurriedly.

Ye Tao shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "It's not gold, it's not silver, it's not bronze, I don't know what rotten thing carved it is, you want 8,000 for me?" Cut, I don't even want 800. ”

"You." The middle-aged man's face was a little unsightly.

"You tell me a price, I'll hear it." He asked Ye Tao.

In Ye Tao's pocket, there were still more than 100 yuan, plus the 100 given by Su Lingxuan for washing clothes yesterday, that is, more than 200 yuan, but if it was 200 yuan, this middle-aged man would definitely not sell it.

Seeing Ye Tao hesitate, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "That's it, I'll give you the 800 yuan you said!" ”

800？

Ye Tao didn't expect that the main price of this stall was so dark, falling from 1 million to 800.

He calculated in his heart, look at the 500 lines, if the money is poor, he will call his sister Ye Hui and handle it again.

"Boss, I'm just looking at the ornaments and it's fun, but isn't it just a wood carving? I'll give you a lot of money, 500 yuan, what do you think? Ye Tao said.

“500？ No, no, I collected 700, you can't let me lose money, right? The middle-aged man shook his head.

In fact, she spent 400 to collect it here, but he didn't think it was cost-effective to earn 100.

"Forget it, I don't want it." Ye Tao made a gesture to leave.

Walk?

"No, the minimum is 700, you've been in your hands for a long time, and I can't sell it anymore. If you don't buy it, you don't want to leave. The middle-aged man's face changed and he shouted.

Ye Tao had no choice but to call Ye Hui and ask her to help transfer another 600 yuan on WeChat.

Ye Hui immediately transferred it to him.

When Ye Tao paid the money to the middle-aged man, this person immediately had a smiling face: "Little brother, come and play more in the future." ”

What did Ye Tao say to these old oilmen on the street?

Take the snake toad ornament, put it in the bag and leave here.

Buying his beloved things, Ye Tao felt very satisfied. He used the rest of the money to buy rune paper, cinnabar and other things for drawing talismans, and he was about to leave here, go back to absorb the aura on it, and then quickly draw talismans.

Just after walking a short distance on the main street, I saw 3 people walking not far away.

Ye Tao's eyes widened suddenly.

He saw it clearly, two of them were his former lover Zhang Xumei, and her current boyfriend Qian Yaohui.

Ye Tao never imagined that he would meet his former lover here.

Zhang Xumei and Ye Tao were classmates and the class flowers of the year. At the beginning, she had just experienced a breakup and was empty. After meeting Ye Tao, he felt that Ye Tao was good-looking, honest and loyal, and worthy of his life, so he had a love affair with him.

However, as time changes, her side began to be surrounded by a group of rich second generations, and money made her gradually feel that Ye Tao was becoming more and more unpleasant, he would only die studying, and his family background was not good, and he would not suffer a lifetime of sin in the end?

When it was time to graduate, in order to stay in this city, Zhang Xumei left Ye Tao without hesitation and threw herself into the arms of Qian Yaohui, the young master of the nouveau riche Qian family.

Although Zhang Xumei left her, Ye Tao didn't hate her anymore. If a person goes to a high place, he can't give her happiness, and if he leaves himself, he can't say that she is wrong.

Ye Tao really didn't want to meet them, so he turned around and entered a calligraphy and painting shop next to him, wanting to wait for them to walk through before leaving the antique street.

He pretended to admire the calligraphy and paintings in the shop, and his eyes looked around with interest.

At this moment, an old man dressed in rustic clothes walked into the store.

When he arrived at the store, his face was anxious, he wiped his sweat, and asked a little stumblingly, "Boss, do you accept ancient paintings here?" …… I have a painting that I want to sell. ”

The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "Yes, did you bring it?" ”

"Bring it." As he spoke, the old man carefully opened a piece of flower cloth and took out an ancient painting from it.

"Boss, this painting of mine is handed down from my ancestors, yes. If you take this painting, it will be worth more in the future. The old man said solemnly.

The shopkeeper just smiled, took the painting away, and looked at it carefully.

Ye Tao also stretched out his head to look.

The picture is quaint, and a wooden pavilion near the water is painted, and a man in a long shirt upstairs overlooks the distance. A vast bay of clear water, where the wind rises, the branches of the trees shake.

Looking further away, the aquatic plants are lonely boats, and a coat is fishing alone.

And farther away, the white clouds are ethereal, the mountain peaks are steep, and the peaks and peaks are stacked, which makes people feel nostalgic for the distance.

There is also a five-character quatrain at the signing office, and the seal is the "Stone Valley".

The whole painting looks vast and lonely, and the brushwork is old-fashioned and unconventional.

Even Ye Tao, who didn't know how to draw, secretly shouted "good" to his brother in his heart.

His eyes stared at the ancient painting, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he only felt that there was a faint light coming out of the painting.

And there is a kind of quaint aura, faintly rushing to the face.

Ye Tao secretly moved in his heart: although he doesn't know how to paint, there is no doubt that this painting should be genuine.

However, he didn't know how much it was worth.

However, the shopkeeper looked at it carefully, but raised his head and said to the old man: "I'm sorry old man, I can't see through what you say, let's try another one." ”

The old man's expectant face immediately showed a look of shock: "Boss, won't you?" If you take a closer look, this painting is indeed my family's ancestral heirloom, why can't you understand it? ”

I think he must have walked through many shops with this painting in hand.

The shopkeeper just smiled: "I'll tell you the truth, this painting is not genuine, it's a fake." ”

Fake? Fake paintings?

The old man was suddenly petrified there.

"No, no, this painting is really my family's ancestral, and it is the work of Wang Hui, a famous landscape painter in the Qing Dynasty. My ancestor had a good relationship with him in the past, so I got a pair. Now my grandson has leukemia, and I sold it in order to raise money for his treatment. But why do you all say it's a fake painting? ”

The old man said, tears about to flow.

Ye Tao looked at his appearance, and suddenly remembered his adoptive father Ye Minde, and thought of his difficult family situation, and couldn't help but feel deep sympathy.

"I really know how to make up stories, make up, and continue to make up."

Suddenly, a voice came from the door of the store, and with this voice, three people walked in.

Ye Tao was instantly unhappy, isn't this Qian Yaohui and them?

His face immediately felt a little unnatural.

At this moment, Zhang Xumei's body was close to Qian Yaohui, holding his arm, followed by a pot-bellied and short old man.

Zhang Xumei in front of her, full of famous brands, dressed in jewelry, coupled with that beautiful face, is indeed very beautiful, and she also has the style of a noble lady.

It's been a long time, and Zhang Xumei's appearance suddenly shocked Ye Tao's heart.

But he immediately calmed down.

Even if it's not a lover relationship, it's just an old classmate meeting, and it's right to say hello.

"Xumei ......," Ye Tao couldn't help but shout in a low voice.

Zhang Xumei didn't expect to meet Ye Tao here, and she was shocked at first.

I can't imagine that I haven't seen her for so long now, the lovers back then are still dressed in rustic clothes, and they are still like that, Zhang Xumei's opinion of Ye Tao is even more disgusted.

Hearing Ye Tao's greeting, she pretended not to know him, and just glanced at him coldly.

Looking at her disdainful eyes, Ye Tao's heart ached.

A few years of affection, but in exchange for such cold indifference, how can he be embarrassed?

"Hey, isn't this my classmate Su Lingxuan's husband Ye Tao? What, what are you doing here? Want to play antiques? Qian Yaohui didn't expect to meet Ye Tao, so he smiled and said with a smile.

When Ye Tao saw Qian Yaohui, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

It was because of Qian Yaohui's big money that Zhang Xumei left him so ruthlessly.

However, he didn't want to pay attention to this guy at all, he just wanted to see what the result of this painting was.

Qian Yaohui came here today, because he was rich, and in order to be elegant, he arranged the study room very stylishly, and today he specially invited Professor Diao from the university to help him buy paintings.

Professor Diao often shows off in the calligraphy and painting circles on weekdays, and he also has a certain eye for the appreciation of calligraphy and painting.

Seeing that Ye Tao ignored himself, Qian Yaohui just sneered.

Silent?

Can Lao Tzu let you go?
