Volume 1 Life and Death Are Inseparable, Dreams of the Past, Chapter 36, Half a Piece of Luodian Mirror
The jade ornaments and gold and silver ornaments on the stall are piled up in a pile, and the true and false are not good or bad, the bronze and iron porcelain are also piled up in a pile, and it is impossible to distinguish which dynasty and which generation came out, Luo Kui has always been insensitive to gold and silver, reaching out in the bronze and iron that few people care about, turning out a luodian mirror at the bottom, there are traces of a hundred years ago on the mirror, it is obviously an antiquity, although the mirror is not smooth and clean, there are blue-green patina mottled, but the carving is exquisitely extraordinary, it is the royal thing that comes out of the palace, but unfortunately only half.
The old man who set up the stall was a person who could penetrate people's hearts, and when he saw Luo Kui holding the luodian mirror, he knew that she was rare and said lightly: "The girl's vision is really not bad, don't look at this luodian mirror is only half a piece, this is a rare object, it has been a hundred years, and according to legend, it is still the love affair between Princess Yuzhu and Bai Shanglu." ”
Luo Kui nodded calmly, the names of these two people are really amazing, not to mention that they are often described in ancient books, and people who often go in and out of Goolan Washe also know that they have heard a good story of the reunion of the two of them, and now they can see the things of the year, only to know that this is not just a play, but a real past.
"Princess Yuzhu, isn't this something that came out of the palace, then I will be rich. Jingmo has always been sneaky, and he squeezed over at some point, snatched the bronze mirror with his hand, and smacked his lips while looking at it: "But it's a pity, only half a piece, if it's a whole piece, it can really be sold for a big price." ”
Luo Kui raised his eyes and glanced at him: "If you are such a money fan, if God doesn't completely clean your money fan, how can it be easy to get your wish, even if this is a good thing, it can't fall into your hands." ”
Jingmo was unconvinced, and poked Luo Kui with his elbow, like a stealing mouse, and laughed in a low voice: "You are justified no matter what you say, but you have always said that there are no good things in Shengze Street, look at it, isn't this there." ”
Luo Kui shook his head and smiled: "Most of this kind of things are encounterable but unattainable, you, don't force it if you don't have money in your life." ”
"Bah, bah, net nonsense, the fortune teller said that I hit a lot of gold, and sooner or later I will make a fortune, you see, my jade wrench, isn't it a treasure. Jingmo raised his hand, and a beautiful emerald color shook between his fingers, and the warm sun reflected it, which was dazzling.
The jadeite is a living creature with aura, beautiful and vibrant, but this so-called jadeite that he is proud of is just a beautiful dead thing. Since Jingmo put on this wrench, Luo Kui knew the truth and falsehood, and she didn't pierce it just to save his face, and at this moment she just wanted to cover his hand, and then cover his mouth.
But obviously, the old man was a little quicker, and he said lazily: "Little old man is clumsy, can you take a look at your face." ”
Jingmo hurriedly faded down, and handed it over ostentatiously, the old man only glanced at it, and then teased: "This wrench is definitely not jadeite, if you don't believe it, you can try it." ”
"Try, how to try, do you pay if you try badly? This wrench cost a lot of money in Jingmo, so he naturally refused to let people try it easily, and was about to reach out and snatch the wrench back, but the old man laughed.
The old man's eyes were burning, and his laughter was determined: "Naturally, if it is tried, the little old man will pay for it." ”
Hearing this, Jing Mo retracted his hand again. He calculated it carefully, and felt that this was a matter of no profit, so he nodded and agreed.
The old man smiled, then took out a fire fold and lit it, and burned it on the jade wrench for a while, which instantly turned black and yellow, and escaped a disgusting stench.
Jingmo's face suddenly changed greatly, a heart was like falling in a snow nest, cold to the bottom, no matter how he didn't learn no skills, he also knew what the jade should be like when it met the fire, and secretly regretted it in his heart, he shouldn't be clever, but he thought about it again, and originally made a plan for two benefits, if it was indeed jadeite, it was natural to grow his own ambition to destroy the prestige of others, if it wasn't for jadeite, he could have said that the wrench was broken, and he could have found a sum of money to get back face, so now he just needs to find some excuses.
Seeing that Jingmo was silent, the old man smiled contemptuously but firmly, extinguished the fire, picked up a broken cup filled with clear water on the ground, and threw the blackened wrench into it, but after a moment of effort, a stream of blue color oozed from the wrench, swirling in the water, dyeing the colorless into blue water, and the wrench turned into a transparent and colorless thing, but the color of the burned black place did not change much.
Luo Kui couldn't help but complain a little about God's cruelty to Jingmo, and some were glad that God was cruel, often saying that wealth is not exposed, one is that too much wealth is exposed for fear of causing death, and the other is afraid of revealing fakes, which will lead to a joke that recognizes goods.
In this way, God's cruelty to him is full of homely heart, knowing that he has always been unable to hide things, let alone money, so for his safety, he has never given him a windfall, but he has repeatedly lost face due to fakes, which also shows that God is not a benevolent person.
There was a commotion in the crowd, and Jing Mo's heart was suddenly cold, his face turned from blue to white, and from white to red, but in order to save face, he blurted out without thinking: "You old man, burn my wrench, you." Before he finished speaking, his mouth had been covered by someone's raised hand, only a whimpering mumble remained, and Luo Kui sighed and laughed in his ear: "Shut up, don't be ashamed." ”
"Falling sunflower, falling sunflower, this bronze mirror is really a treasure. Someone pushed her shoulder, Luo Kui let go of Jingmo, who was struggling, and looked back, the half of the Luodian mirror had been snatched into Qu Lian's hand, and she looked at it with burning eyes.
Qu Lian is in a rich family, and she has never lacked money, but in the face of valuable things, her eyes are still so hot, it can be seen that the temptation of this money is the same for anyone, it has nothing to do with wealth and poverty, if it is made of silver tickets, even if it is the most ugly clothes in the world, there will be a lot of people rushing to wear them.
Luo Kui smiled and nodded, but stared at Jingmo's eyes: "It's really a baby, it's a pity that half of the piece is missing, if you can find the remaining half piece, Jingmo, you can buy a house and move out, I can also save worry, I don't have to quarrel with you all day long." ”
Jing Mo Deng was as happy as if something, grinning and smiling, even the back molars were exposed, and he had already thrown the embarrassment of the jade wrench out of the clouds, and snatched the luodian mirror with his hand, clenched it tightly, his eyes were as bright as gold ingots, and he completely forgot that the luodian mirror was not his.
Seeing this, Luo Kui sighed silently, seeing that Qian Yan's virtue was carried forward to the extreme.
"Old man, how much is your half piece of luodian mirror? After being happy for a while, Jing Mo came back to his senses and asked, but his hand was still tightly holding the bronze mirror, and he had already decided that this thing would be in his pocket.
The old man paused, squinted at the rising sun, his eyes flashed with a calculating light, raised two fingers and shook it, and opened a large price of two hundred taels of snowflake silver, and said that this thing was his family heirloom, and if it were not for the poor, there was really no way to live, and he would definitely not take it out and sell it. The look of pretending to be a gesture made it clear that he was going to hit a stroke hard, and Jingmo's heart, liver and lungs must be painful for a few days.
Two hundred taels is not a small amount, enough for a family of ten to spend all the expenses of the whole year, Rao is Jingmo spends countless money on weekdays, and he will never dare to spend such a large sum of money to buy a useless thing, so he can only grit his teeth and stomp his feet in pain, crying out to the sky and grabbing the ground, with red eyes and roaring angrily: "Old man, you, you rob money." ”
"Hey, you stinky boy, doing business is about you and me, if you can't afford it, get out of here. The old man sneered disdainfully, and his articulation was no less than that of Jingmo, and he did not back down at all.
Qu Lian wanted to help Jingmo, but she was born in a big family, and she didn't know anything about counteroffering, so she pulled Luo Kui's sleeve and said softly: "Luo Kui, you can help Jingmo." ”
Luo Kui grew up in the market, and the bargain was naturally a piece of cake, but she didn't want to help, so she only raised her eyes and chuckled: "Why don't you watch such a beautiful play, I won't help, and you are not allowed to help, don't disturb me to watch the play." ”
Qu Lian was helpless, so she had no choice but to say nothing, standing aside and looking at each other with her arms folded.
And Jingmo, in the face of such a valuable object, naturally refused to let go easily, and after a contest with the old man's words and eyes, in the end, Jingmo had a request for others, defeated, obediently took out the money and left, and the pain was half loud without words.
Luo Kui bent her eyebrows like a crescent moon and smiled: "Jingmo, two hundred taels bought half a royal treasure, you don't lose it." ”
Jingmo rolled his eyelids, and could hear the cold grinding of his teeth: "Luo Kui, if you look away, look at me, look at me ......" Before the words were finished, he had already seen Luo Kui's fist exposing his cuffs, and with only a slight shake, he swallowed his words back, and his originally white face was purple and red.
Luo Kuixiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corners of her lips rose as if she was smiling: "What are you going to do, say it, say it so that I can think of a countermeasure." ”
"I, I'll go back and draw a talisman to curse you. Jingmo's teeth clucked and said hatefully.
"Do you know how to draw talismans, but let's wait until you learn how to draw talismans. Luo Kui pursed her lips disdainfully and ran away.
"Shui Luokui, eighteen years old, how about writing a notice to recruit relatives, writing a notice to recruit relatives and sticking them all over the streets and alleys of Qingzhou. He had already planned it, and he knew where Luo Kui's weakness was, so he smiled faintly and ran away past her.
"You dare to ......" Luo Kui was annoyed and ashamed, her face turned red, and she chased after her with a look of resentment.
On the way back, pass through a lotus pond, in the summer, the lotus leaf field is full of red lotus, but at this time there is no lotus to appreciate, only the remaining lotus leaves float on the water surface, like a piece of condensed jade, it is very good-looking.
"Jingmo, go and help me pick some lotus leaves to make tea. Standing by the lotus pond, Qu Lian's eyes were shining, looking at Jingmo and smiling.
"This, I don't know water, I'm afraid of drowning......" Jingmo's face was a little faintly pale, but he looked back at Luo Kui and kept squeezing his eyebrows, hinting at what she said to relieve the siege.
Luo Kui looked at the figure of Jingmo in the shadow of the blue water and clouds, as if something in his heart cracked, I remember that in order to make hibiscus to give her a face, Jingmo entered the water several times to pick lotus, he knows water, but this water, he only knows for himself, thinking of this, Luo Kui's heart moved, there is an indescribable feeling slowly spread, as warm as spring, and then smiled: "Jingmo is a landlubber, you can choke on water in a bath, let alone such a big lotus pond." ”
