Chapter 309: Within reach

The expression on Gu Ming's face was very calm, and when she said that she wanted to buy the elephant ornament she was holding in her hand, she felt as if she had picked a cabbage in the vegetable market and was ready to start.

Such an expression may not seem like anything to other people, but in Qin Sheng's opinion, he feels that there is a slight sense of wrongness.

His gaze shifted from Gu Ming's face to the elephant in the other party's hand, and his intuition told him that there was something wrong with the elephant in Gu Ming's hand.

Gu Ming didn't wait for Qin Sheng to finish thinking, she stood up directly, looked at the counter, and found that there was an elephant at the other end of the counter that was obviously a complete set of elephant ornaments in her hand, and she didn't bother to say much to Qin Sheng, so she walked over directly, wanting to take the other elephant ornament in her hand.

It's a pity that she hadn't taken two steps before she saw the Western man who was squatting in front of the basket stand up, walked to the female companion who was still selecting the cloth on the edge of the counter, and took the elephant ornament in his hand.

"Gu Ming?" Qin Sheng stepped forward quickly and gently grabbed Gu Ming's arm.

"What's the matter?" Gu Ming couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she saw that the other elephant ornament had been taken away, but it was impossible for her to step forward and snatch it from someone else's hand.

Qin Sheng pointed to the elephant ornament in Gu Ming's hand and said, "If you like this, we have to ask the seller first if this thing is sold, this seems to be used to hold down those cloths." ”

Gu Ming's brain buzzed, and he immediately realized that he had just lost his temper, and couldn't help but look around, but fortunately, no one nearby noticed the situation here.

"You go and ask if this is for sale!" Gu Ming directly stuffed the elephant ornament into Qin Sheng's hand and advised, "I like this very much." If this thing is going to be sold, you'll have to buy it back for me. Remember, I bought it, not for you to buy it for me, do you understand? ”

As soon as the thing was in his hands, Qin Sheng couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, no wonder this elephant ornament was used by the store to press the cloth, and he couldn't see that it was quite heavy: "I understand, I'll ask." ”

"Hurry up!" Gu Ming urged.

Although Qin Sheng didn't quite understand what was unusual about this elephant ornament, he heard Gu Ming's advice. Coupled with Gu Ming's seemingly calm but not really calm look, he still honestly walked towards the clerk who greeted them before.

Taking advantage of Qin Sheng's time to ask if the elephant ornaments were for sale, Gu Ming walked to the pair of Western men and women as if unintentionally, the woman was obviously not interested in the elephant ornaments in the man's hands, but was interested in selecting the cloth with local characteristics.

Gu Ming listened to a few words. Look at the meaning of the Western woman, she wants to buy some cloth and go back to make clothes and skirts or something, and it is good to make tablecloths if she is not good.

The cloth on the counter looked a little old. However, there is no fading, at most there is some dust on it, so it will look a little old. If you really like it, buy it back and wash it and dry it and it will be the same as new.

Gu Ming, who is not clothed, is not interested. Her attention was focused on the Western man with the elephant ornament in his hand.

The Western man seemed to be interested in elephant ornaments, and took them in his hand and checked them. also talked and laughed a few words with the female companion beside him, but he didn't mean to put down the elephant ornament at all, but Gu Ming, who was standing on the side, scratched his ears and cheeks a little.

And in order not to attract the attention of the other party, although Gu Ming was a little anxious in her heart, she didn't dare to act too much, and she had to pretend to be interested in the cloth on the counter.

Because Gu Ming and Qin Sheng had helped pick up the cloth that had fallen to the ground and put it back on the counter, the Western woman with long brown hair had a very good impression of Gu Ming, although the nationality between the two people was different, it did not prevent her from releasing kindness to Gu Ming.

At this time, I saw that Gu Ming seemed to be interested in the cloth on the counter, and he deliberately paid attention not to touch the cloth on Gu Ming's hand. Turning to other colors and patterns of cloth.

At this time, the Western woman seemed to have chosen the fabric and shouted to her male companion, who was still playing with an elephant ornament. Then the Western man put the elephant ornament back into the distance and helped the female companion pick up the chosen cloth.

Golden opportunity!

Gu Ming's eyes lit up. She rushed towards the elephant ornament, but before her hand could touch the elephant ornament, another hand reached over and picked it up.

"Qin Sheng!" Gu Ming hurriedly looked at the hand that picked up the elephant ornament, and found that the owner of the hand was Qin Sheng.

Call!

Gu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, she thought that the things that were within reach had been preempted by others again, which made her heart rise to her throat.

Qin Sheng took the two elephant ornaments in his hands and smiled at Gu Ming: "I asked just now, this elephant ornament belongs to the previous shopkeeper just now, just like the things in the basket we rummaged through just now, you can buy it if you want." ”

"Show me." Gu Ming hurriedly walked towards Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng handed the elephant ornament he had just picked up from the counter to Gu Ming, and at the same time advised, "Be careful, this one is a bit heavy." ”

"Hmm." Gu Ming hurriedly took over the elephant ornament, first touched it with his left hand, turned the elephant ornament over, and looked at the base boy and observed it carefully.

Qin Sheng looked at Gu Ming's careful movements, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the elephant ornament in his hand.

"Are there any others besides these two?" Gu Ming raised his head and looked at Qin Shengdao.

"No, just these two." Qin Sheng replied.

"How much does it cost, bought it!" Gu Ming said with a little eagerness.

"Equivalent to 500 yuan a pair." Qin Sheng replied.

Gu Ming didn't say a word, didn't even cut the price, paid directly, and left the shop with Qin Sheng alone holding an elephant ornament.

After walking out of the shop, Gu Ming's face showed a smile, and he stroked the elephant's trunk and tusks carefully, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Are you going to see incense?" Qin Sheng didn't forget to ask the store for two sturdy bags, and after Gu Ming had touched enough, he put the elephant ornament into the bag.

"Go, it's coming, how can you not look at it?" Gu Ming replied in a good mood, and took the initiative to hold Qin Sheng's arm, with a trace of excitement in her eyes.

Qin Sheng looked at Gu Ming's hand holding his arm, and his heart couldn't help but move, and then Gu Ming pulled him forward.

The small shop that Qin Sheng praised for selling aromatherapy is still here, and the business is more than the place where Gu Ming and them bought elephant ornaments before.

Under Qin Sheng's introduction, Gu Ming picked out a few fragrances that were suitable for lighting at night when he was sleeping, and also bought a few fragrances with beautiful shapes and colors.

After buying the aromatherapy, the two of them carried things around the neighborhood again, and finally saw that the time was almost up, and ate something in the nearby food court, and then went back to the hotel together.

Because they couldn't change to a room, Gu Ming and Qin Sheng entered the honeymoon villa again. Regarding the question of how to sleep at night, the two of them had their own ideas in their hearts, and they didn't take the initiative to mention it.

After putting away the various loot she bought today, Gu Ming couldn't help but take out the elephant ornaments she bought and put them on the coffee table in the living room to look at them carefully.

Although these two elephant ornaments are a little heavy to hold, the volume is not large, but the left and right are only one of Gu Ming's palms, because the appearance of the elephant is brushed with a layer of dark brown and almost black pigment, so from the appearance at first glance, it is not clear what material these two elephant ornaments are.

"This doesn't seem to be stone, copper or iron?" Qin Sheng was also very curious about the two elephant ornaments that Gu Ming bought, and sat down beside Gu Ming and looked at the ornaments and asked.

"The elephant is copper, and the base underneath is iron," Gu Ming replied.

"You like these two ornaments so much, could it be that this is an antique?" Qin Sheng heard Gu Ming say about the material of the elephant ornament, but he didn't find anything worthy of Gu Ming's attention, so he could only guess from other aspects.

Gu Ming shook his head: "I'm afraid this will disappoint you, these two elephant ornaments are obviously made with modern craftsmanship, and they are not very fine handicrafts, they feel a little rough, and the shape is rigid and has no charm, no matter how you look at it, they are all street goods." However, according to my analysis, this craft should be at least fifty or sixty years old, and you can see that the tail of this elephant is a little rusty, but it is not very obvious. ”

Qin Sheng looked at the place Gu Ming pointed to, and sure enough, he saw a little patina on the elephant's tail.

"Is there anything peculiar about them? It's just this kind of street goods, you can buy it directly without even cutting the price. Qin Sheng didn't beat around the bush with Gu Ming, and directly said what he doubted.

In fact, Gu Ming didn't intend to hide it from Qin Sheng, pointed to the elephant's tusks, and said to Qin Sheng: "Look at this, do you feel that something is wrong?" ”

Qin Sheng came closer to observe it carefully, and suddenly his expression froze, and he glanced at Gu Ming uncertainly, and then reached out and touched the elephant's tusks: "This is ......"

"How's that, do you see that?" Gu Ming smiled and reached out and touched the tusks of the elephant ornament in his hand.

The moment Gu Ming's left fingers touched the ivory, the heat of the hot hand came from the ivory, and a sense of joy immediately rose in his heart, and there was a thin knocking sound in his heart, as if someone was forging something with a hammer.
