13. Old man wood
Pomegranate followed Mu Hongxing to a small courtyard, if she wasn't brave enough, she would never follow him to such a remote place.
Mu Hongxing knocked on the wooden door a few times: "Grandpa, I'll bring my friends over to play." ”
If she measured it well, Mu Hongxing's knock on the door just now was regular, three long and two short, it seemed to be a code. In fact, Pomegranate did not guess wrong, although private trading is not allowed these days, but there are not too many people who secretly do these things in private, and Mu Hongxing's grandfather happens to do this.
A sturdy little old man opened the door and ushered the two in.
Mu Hongxing said straight to the point: "Grandpa, this is Comrade Pomegranate, she wants to buy some booklets for philately, you look at it and pick it out." Then he turned to Pomegranate and said, "Comrade Pomegranate, I'm going to find my philatelic friends, you wait a minute, I'll be back in half an hour at most." ”
Pomegranate nodded indifferently, the school hasn't started yet, she has a lot of time, and besides, she thinks that Mu Hongxing and his grandfather may have other good things here, and they are all here, of course they can't miss it.
The old man's surname is Mu, he used to be an old carpenter who worked for a big capitalist, and he is still worth something, but unfortunately his life is not very good, he lost his wife in middle age, and his only daughter is still married to a non-human, but fortunately, he has a grandson to accompany him, otherwise he would have been unable to stand it for a long time.
Ay! It's not easy for every family these days, just like pomegranates, don't look at her as a group pet at home, but her father was killed by bandits in order to help protect the safety of property in the village. Her mother was born prematurely when she learned the news, which is also the reason why the original owner had been in poor health before, after all, it was too difficult to feed premature babies in these years, and she was able to grow up safely, but her mother spent a lot of effort.
The old man is worthy of being an old carpenter, this craft is really good, the stamp album is also carved with exquisite patterns, in addition, there is a special matching small box, see the pomegranate heart, buy 10 in one go.
Old man Mu didn't expect the little girl to be so generous, so he hurriedly took out the good things at the bottom of the box and introduced: "How about you look at this jewelry box?" This is a good thing in the previous dynasty, specially used to put bracelets, three layers up and down, not to mention ten pairs of kodama bracelets. ”
Pomegranate said secretly: The old man's eyes are so poisonous, even she guessed that she likes bracelets. In her previous life, she liked to wear bracelets very much, and there were three or four pairs of jade bracelets alone, all of which were quite beautiful, but unfortunately they were all gone......
"How much?"
"This one is made of rosewood and the carving is exquisite, if you really want to buy it, the price is 65, plus some cloth or meat tickets."
Pomegranate's brows furrowed: "Grandpa Mu, I really want to buy it, but isn't your price not suitable, you must know that these antiques are not worth much now, and you even want tickets, which is a bit excessive." "In this society, you don't necessarily have money to buy things, you have to have tickets, and cloth tickets are definitely rare items.
Old man Mu also knew that he wanted a lot, and he didn't have any money in the family to buy a job for his grandson, so he thought the little girl was generous, but he didn't expect people to be shrewd.
In the end, Old Man Mu shook his head: "Forget it, if you want it, just give me 35." You don't have to look at the black market antiques cheaply, but it's not safe there, and many of them come from the wrong places. This jewelry box in my family is a palace craft, and it is the dowry of an ancestor Gege, who is from the Tong Jia family. ”
The descendants of the Tong Jia clan are famous in history, and it is normal for some good things to have some good things. Pomegranate didn't expect that the last feudal dynasty in the two worlds turned out to be the Qing Dynasty established by the Aixin Jueluo family, if it weren't for the fact that there were several dynasties with different histories in the middle, she would have doubted that she was reborn instead of crossing over.
"Okay, it's 35 dollars." Pomegranate didn't bargain anymore, took out a small vault and counted out 35 and handed it out, "Grandpa Mu, do you have any other good things in your hand?" If I had, I could exchange it with cloth. ”
"Do you have a cloth in your hand?"
Pomegranate nodded affirmatively: "There are 10 feet in total, all of them are army green." The cloth she had just signed in from the door of the department store had been obtained, along with five bars of soap, two bars of soap and a plum watch.
Don't look at the old man Mu who just asked for cloth tickets, he didn't think that the little girl could take out how many cloth tickets, but he didn't expect that people would be really big: "You wait." After saying that, the old man went into the house without looking back.
Pomegranate squinted, she knew that Old Man Mu must have more than this good thing in his hand, touched the cloth bag in his hand, and secretly congratulated herself that she had brought a big cloth bag when she went out this time, otherwise it would be really difficult to take out the things.
Old man Mu walked over quickly, and carefully put things on the table: "This pair of jade bracelets is also the dowry of that Gege, and there were originally complete sets of hairpins, rings and the like, but unfortunately my grandfather had a hard time at that time, and he gave it away in order to leave the relationship, and now there are only this pair of bracelets left." ”
Pomegranate carefully took the jade bracelet and looked at it: "Full of positive yang green." "This is not worse than imperial green, such a bracelet in later generations will cost tens of millions, and the most expensive jade bracelet she has ever worn is only worth 500,000, so it is envied by some friends.
"It seems that the little girl is also a knowledgeable person, since this is the case, I won't say more, this jade bracelet is definitely enough to change these cloths."
Pomegranate nodded in satisfaction: "That's nature. So what is the rest of the things that Grandpa Mu plans to change? He took out the cloth very happily.
Old man Mu is also very satisfied, the little girl is happy, he is naturally willing to deal with more, seeing that his grandson is old, it is time to start a family, how can he be a grandfather to prepare three turns and one ring for his grandson: "If it weren't for the way of the world, I wouldn't be willing to take it out." ”
As soon as the box was opened, it was full of jewels, and Pomegranate looked through it carefully: "Grandpa Mu, these jewelry are extremely well preserved. ”
Hearing this, Old Man Mu felt a little sad in his heart: "......" If this matter had been put aside, he would have been a loser.
The boxes are full of jewelry, and the most beautiful are two emerald rings and an emerald gemstone necklace. In addition, there are thirty pairs of jadeite bracelets, which are of excellent finery, and there are almost no ordinary goods; There are 20 gemstone rings, about 20 necklaces, brooches, and bracelets.
Pomegranate is considered to have gained knowledge, and she estimates that the real good things are still hidden in the old man's hands, but she didn't expect that she actually met a big family, and she didn't know how the old man kept himself.
This matter was really guessed by the pomegranate, but the old man Mu still had a few precious items left in his hand, but not much, after all, the ancestors of the Mu family were carpenters, and he was able to marry that Gege thanks to his grandfather's handsome face, it can be said that most of the Mu family's family background is the dowry of the grandmother.
