"Hey, hey... Do you understand the rules? Don't you know it's first come, first served?"
"That's right, what's a poor, smelly country girl doing watching this? Can she understand it? Do you have money? Don't join in the fun..."
It's obvious that both young men are the kind of guys who look down on others. Their clothes are quite decent. I wonder which family they belong to, or whether they are the descendants of officials...
But this can't be a reason for you to look down on me, right? Chu Xi, who was originally trying to be reasonable, has developed a new evil taste...
He consciously retracted his hand, with a humble and submissive look, which immediately made the two young men more imposing.
The stall owner looked a little embarrassed.
"Boss, less, a little less, two hundred yuan is really too much..."
The instantly weakened expression made Chu Xi laugh, and he stood by and watched leisurely with his arms folded.
At first I was thinking of buying it with money to save trouble.
Now, forget it, you guys can just take it and then “borrow” it from me…
The boss was amazing. I don’t know if it was because he wanted to whet everyone’s appetite or if he had other ideas, but he only said one sentence.
"No bargain!" His attitude was very cold and tough.
"you!"
The two were so angry that their teeth were itching, but they were still unwilling to give in. However, seeing that there were many people around, they did not dare to act tough, because this was not their territory.
"We are..." He blurted out his words but was interrupted by his companions. He didn't know what background or power he had...
Finally, after hesitating for a long time, I made up my mind and reluctantly took out my pocket...
When everyone thought that the matter was settled, things took another turn.
Under the gazes of more than a dozen people, the leading man took out a bag, but there was not that much money in his pocket...
"puff……"
No one knew which knight "accidentally" laughed out loud first, but in this hidden alley, a series of low laughter spread far away.
Seeing the space the two had finally made after struggling for so long, Chu Xi moved directly over and generously extended her hand...
The people around were stunned. This village girl was too extravagant. Although hunting could earn some money, her family was not well off. How could she be so extravagant? She only had a jewelry box, and she dared to spend it like that...
I really don’t know if the adults at home will teach her a lesson when she returns home.
While the old stall owner was still a little stunned but took the money first, Chu Xi picked up the red-carved box without hesitation and turned around to throw it into his backpack.
The stall owner was so shocked by the sight that he twitched his lips. "Where did this prodigal woman come from...does she even know anything about antiques?"
He was so angry that the little mustache on the corner of his mouth was bent. Just now, when he saw her reaching out to take it so impatiently, he thought she had met someone who knew the business, but she was so casual after getting it. If he had known, he would not have sold it to her!
Chu Xi, who had already turned around and left, didn't want to waste time arguing with these people. She had to quickly study this freshly baked treasure...
Soon, Chu Xi rode her bicycle back home. Of course, when she took out the bicycle, she also changed back to her original clothes. Otherwise, if her mother saw her, she would not let her in...
I had just finished lunch and returned home. The children had just been coaxed into taking a nap by their mother, and she was just about to lie down...
Just like that, the door was pushed open by Chu Xi who rushed in. In her haste, she happened to meet Chu's mother who was about to come out to lock the door, and was stunned for a moment.
Although this place is located at the "foot of the emperor" and is also the "capital of the capital", in those special times, there are still so many poor families and public security is not so good. There are even the almost extinct "red armbands" wandering around...
Chu Xi, who was eager to go home and study her baby, had no idea that she would run into her own mother.
Looking up at her empress dowager's slightly frowning expression, she immediately went up to her with a smile.
"Mom, I found a treasure, ding ding ding..."
He took out the red carved box very proudly and even held it up and turned it around.
The appearance of the carved red box also caught Mother Chu's attention, but she didn't pay much attention to it. After all, she had quite a few such things before. If it weren't for the commotion over the past few years, she would definitely have saved a few...
"Alright, go do whatever you want. I'm not going to bother you anymore. I'm going to take a nap. I'm getting old now, and if I don't take a nap every day, I'll be tired in the afternoon..."
Chu Xi, who was granted amnesty, immediately rushed into his room and quickly closed the door, leaving his mother speechless.
Gently placing it on the square table, Chu Xi carefully opened the lid. Although he had already scanned it with his mental power, such an antique item could only be appreciated with the naked eye to truly appreciate its value.
The objects that were supposed to be stored inside had been taken away, leaving only a piece of yellow velvet that felt particularly comfortable to the touch. I don’t know what valuable treasures such a nice box was supposed to contain.
I took out the velvet and carefully began to feel for the sandwich switch below...
After all, what she cared about was the strange "key" underneath, not just a box.
Soon, because she had already scanned the area with her mental power, she quickly found a small hidden button. With a simple press, the wooden box snapped in two...
The base, which had been fitting perfectly without any gaps, had almost fallen off. Fortunately, Chu Xi had placed it on the table, so the key didn't fall to the ground...
The strange golden key should be made of gold, and it should have a solid core. This golden key alone could probably fetch a lot of money...
Then carefully take out the piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wing...
