Chapter 5: The Old Man

Night falls.

Shen Mo plans to find a hotel to deal with the night, and plans to visit an important elder tomorrow.

"Boss Shen, wait a minute."

As soon as Shen Mo walked out of the alley, a woman's voice came from behind him, and he turned around to see an old tricycle chasing after him.

The tricycle was driven by a young woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties.

She was dressed plainly, her complexion was flushed, she wore a red fanny pack around her waist, and the carriage of the tricycle was littered with old miscellaneous items.

"Boss Shen, wait a minute."

The woman caught up with Shen Mo and revealed a row of neat white teeth, and a pair of shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth.

"Boss Shen finally caught up with you, do you remember me?"

Shen Mo's gaze fell on the woman's cheeks, the woman's face was beautiful and her facial features were upright, her smile made Shen Mo feel more cordial, this face was indeed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"You are?"

"My name is Zhang Meiqi, you may not remember me, but I remember you all your life, you may forget, three years ago I went to your Shen family's Xuanbao World to sell objects, it was a late Qing plum blossom red porcelain vase."

"Three years ago, my husband was seriously ill, I exchanged the plum blossom vase for my husband's treatment, at that time the master in your store said that the red porcelain vase was worth 30,000, but after you read it, corrected that it was a plum blossom vase from Huizhou kiln, and finally gave an estimate of 80,000!"

As soon as Zhang Meiqi said this, Shen Mo had an impression.

In my impression, Zhang Meiqi was crying pear blossoms with rain at that time, saying that her husband was lying in the hospital and was critically ill and urgently needed a sum of money to save his life.

At that time, the master in the store really looked away, and it was not profitable to collect the plum vase for 80,000 yuan, and he even had to take some hard money.

At the beginning, Shen Mo didn't think about it so much, just to have peace of mind, but he didn't expect to meet Zhang Meiqi here after being released from prison.

"Boss Shen, thank you very much back then, although that money didn't save my husband's life, but it solved the predicament of our family at that time, and now affected by all aspects, I also set up a stall at the mouth of the alley to make money, although I didn't make a lot of money, but I can also mix food and clothing."

"I saw clearly what happened on the stall just now, I think you did the right thing, someone like Chen Youlong should give him a dismissal, and he can't be lawless on this street!"

"Boss Shen, you haven't eaten yet, go to my house to eat! I'll cook you two home-cooked dishes. ”

Zhang Meiqi had an enthusiastic attitude and dragged Shen Mo to let him get into the car.

"Sister, you can just tell me to be silent, don't be so troublesome, I'll just go to the street and eat two bites."

Zhang Meiqi was resolute: "How can you eat two bites casually?" The first meal that comes out of it has to be dusted! Wash away the filth from your body! Besides, I'm still a little selfish, I recently received some goods at home, and I'm not sure about it myself, so I want to ask you to go over and take a look, but don't worry, I will pay the appraisal fee, and I won't let you work in vain. ”

Shen Mo readily responded: "Sister, it's no problem to show you the object, but there is an additional condition, don't mention the appraisal fee, you can invite me to dinner to look up to me, and then charge you the appraisal fee, wouldn't it slap me in the face of silence?" ”

Then he sat on the tricycle silently and chatted with Zhang Meiqi briefly.

After Zhang Meiqi's husband died, she took her five-year-old daughter to set up a stall every morning and evening to make money, and she had to take care of her elderly husband.

Originally, Zhang Meiqi's original intention was to sell the "dilapidated old objects" hoarded by her father-in-law, but slowly she also realized some doorways, and started the antique business in a good way, and she also lost money at the beginning, but now she gradually has experience and understands Qin bricks and Han tiles, Tang, Song, Yuanqing, and Qing.

About a quarter of an hour later, Shen Mo followed Zhang Meiqi to a dilapidated small courtyard.

The courtyard is located on the west side of the city center, less than ten minutes away from the antique street.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhang Meiqi's daughter Xiaoyuanzi jumped out and blinked her little eyes and called Uncle Shen Mo.

"Oh, there's a distinguished guest coming to the door today! The old man pinched his fingers and counted, Meiqi! It's not easy for you to bring in your guests today! ”

In the middle of the courtyard sat a thin old man, wearing a black gown, with a conspicuous mustache at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes slightly sunken, at first glance he looked like a fortune-telling operator on the side of the road.

"Daddy, let me introduce you, this is silence! The benefactor of our family, the one who helped our family get out of the red porcelain plum vase three years ago. ”

Zhang Meiqi took the opportunity to introduce the old man in front of her: "Silence, this is my father-in-law Qin Huaiyi, who tells fortunes and divinations on the antique street during the day, and is also a lover of antique collections, but his vision is a little worse, since I married into the Qin family, I have never seen him pick up treasures, and he has always put money in it." ”

"Meiqi, how can you say that about your husband."

Qin Huaiyi stood up to ease the atmosphere and said, "Boss Shen, you can come to our house, the Qin family is shining!" In order to repay your kindness, the old man will give you a divination first, and you are not allowed to ask for money. ”

Zhang Meiqi immediately interrupted: "Daddy, it's okay for you to give Boss Shen a divination, but you must not ask someone for money, Shen Mo, you can sit casually first, I'll cook for you, Daddy's fortune telling, you just have a good time." ”

Shen Mo smiled and nodded, because the master was blind, so he had a sense of intimacy when he saw Qin Huaiyi, and the old man had a pinch of mustache, giving people an exaggerated sense of déjà vu between his words.

After a while, Qin Huaiyi listened to the silent birth date and said, "Boss Shen, I probably know your situation, I only said that you have two points, and you are not allowed to have a certain number in your heart." ”

"First, although you have just returned from prison, you have ten thousand taels of gold on your body, and you have the power to change your life against the sky, and you have the life of a hidden dragon to ascend."

Shen Mo's heart tightened: "Master Qin? I didn't get it. ”

"Boss Shen, let me explain it to you, although you have just been released from prison, you are not short of money, the amount of this money is scary, I am not exaggerating when I say that it is rich."

Shen Mo chuckled in his heart.

How did Qin Huaiyi see it? At first time, I suspected that the old man had clairvoyant eyes.

"Master Qin, don't be kidding, how can I have the strength of the rich side? The ability to change one's life against the sky? ”

Qin Huaiyi also did not argue: "True and false Boss Shen has his own fixed number in his heart, you will judge after I finish the second point, although Boss Shen is from a wealthy family, it stands to reason that the peach blossoms around you are constant, and you have seen all kinds of warblers and beautiful women, but I just read your birthday, your eight-character life is written very clearly, so far, you are alone, the palace is one, if the old man is not wrong, Boss Shen, you are still a chick." ”

I'll go!
