Chapter 424 Kang Jingzhi was surprised! Mingzhu can actually play the piano
Mingzhu originally thought that the store introduced by Kang Jingzhi only had some foreign goods at most.
Unexpectedly, after entering the store, she found that in addition to some foreign toys not available in China, there were actually quite a few antique calligraphy and paintings, and precious jade ornaments.
Mingzhu stood in front of the counter and fell in love with a set of jade bracelets at first sight.
She didn't know why, but she felt that this pair of bracelets... was very familiar.
Kang Jingzhi, who was standing next to her, saw her reaction and raised his eyebrows: "Do you like this?"
Mingzhu hummed, staring at the things in the glass counter, and asked the boss to take it out for her to have a look. The boss looked up at Kang Jingzhi.
Kang Jingzhi stood behind Mingzhu and nodded calmly.
The boss took out the bracelet. Mingzhu looked at it against the light. The bracelet was of excellent quality, translucent and full of green. The only flaw was a shiny spot inside one of
the bracelets, as if a pearl was inlaid inside. It was precisely because of this small flaw that she felt it was familiar.
As Mingzhu looked at it, a sentence came to her mind that she could not remember the source of: "This is called a pearl hidden in jade."
Where had she heard this sentence before? Why... I couldn't remember it at all?
"Why did you look at it for so long? If you like it, just buy it."
Mingzhu came back to her senses and looked at the boss: "How much is it?"
The boss lowered his voice: "Miss, you have a good eye. This is the best jade jewelry in our store. It costs two thousand."
Mingzhu: ...
Two thousand, buying a bracelet that can be sold for seven figures in the future, it should not be a loss.
But in this era, two thousand is not a small number. You can buy a courtyard house in a slightly cheaper place.
Even in the third or fourth ring road, a courtyard house can be sold for eight figures in the future.
So if you look at it from an investment perspective, don't calculate.
"Flat price, eight hundred. Will you sell it to me?"
The boss was shocked when he heard it: "No way, miss, I don't bargain like that. This is really a good thing. It's not only a real antique, but also its quality is extremely rare. Although this one has a little flaw, the other one is really full of green, and it is a top-notch product..."
"I know this thing is good, but you have to know that this thing is now out of stock. Everyone is hungry and those who have money hoard gold. Who would buy such a flashy thing? I really like it. If you are interested in selling it, I am also interested in buying it. I will give you another hundred. If not, forget it."
She felt that this thing was familiar, but since she couldn't remember where it came from, it must not be an important thing. Maybe it was just one of the many collections of her second brother.
Leave it here, and let my second brother buy it after a few decades.
As she said this, she carefully placed the bracelet on the counter.
The boss was about to put it away, and Kang Jingzhi beside him said calmly: "Wrap it up."
Mingzhu glanced at him: "Why, you want to buy it?"
"For you."
"You're giving me a bracelet?" Mingzhu smiled and waved her hand: "I don't want it."
Kang Jingzhi frowned: "Are you afraid that Jiang Duo will say something about you if you accept my gift?"
"It has nothing to do with Jiang Duo. I have to have my own bottom line. First, I'm married, and it's not good for me to accept gifts from other men without reason. That's too disrespectful to my lover. Second, this thing is precious, and I don't want it without merit."
Kang Jingzhi's face was not very good, and he glanced at the boss.
The boss was also able to read people's expressions. He immediately looked at Mingzhu: "Miss, if you really like it, give me another hundred. You are right. This thing is in short supply. It has been here for a long time and has not been sold. It is a burden on me, but I have the capital. I don't want to lose money..."
"Okay." She really liked this bracelet. One thousand was within her psychological price. It was worth buying a happy one.
The boss happily agreed.
After Mingzhu paid the money, she did not let the boss pack it up, but put it directly on her wrist.
She raised her hand and looked at it in the sunlight. Under the reflection of the jade bracelet, the mole on her wrist became obvious. The strange sense of familiarity became even stronger, including the mole.
Did she wear this bracelet in her second brother's treasure house?
Her thoughts were interrupted again by Kang Jingzhi: "You have fair skin, and jade looks really good on you."
Mingzhu looked at him and raised her eyebrows: "Not bad, you have good taste, I think it looks pretty too."
Kang Jingzhi looked at her bright eyes and smiled in a very good mood: "Don't you want to see anything else? There is another room inside, which is mainly filled with foreign stuff."
Mingzhu nodded, lifted the curtain and walked in.
The driver came in with her and sprayed the room with a small spray for disinfection.
Mingzhu didn't care much, as most of the things in the room were foreign stuff.
There were also old-fashioned tape recorders, cameras, table lamps and various small appliances, even an oven, and a very retro old-fashioned phonograph.
Kang Jingzhi's house had one of these things.
On the other side of the wall, there was an old-fashioned piano.
Her eyes brightened up. In this era, not many families could afford such a thing.
Even in later generations, not every family could afford to learn to play the piano.
It was because her mother had a daughter, and she didn't know how to spoil her. She always wanted to train her to be a little princess, and taught her everything a lady should learn. However, she didn't expect that in the end she would pick up a scalpel and see blood every day.
She walked over and opened the piano cover, and her fingers gently swept over the white keys. There was a layer of dust on it. It seemed that no one had touched it for a long time.
She suddenly remembered that during the summer vacation when she was 13 years old, she was about to take the piano test, but her eldest brother couldn't stay idle and insisted on taking her on a trip abroad.
Just because she didn't want to practice the piano every day under her mother's supervision, she secretly went on a spontaneous trip with her elder brother.
As a result, she played like crazy for the whole summer vacation. When she came back and thought about the exam, she opened the piano and burst into tears.
But her mother stood aside and watched the excitement. She touched the white keys and handed her hand to her: "Keep playing. Look, you left it in the cold palace. It's covered with dust. I don't think you can pass the exam this time!"
In the following days, she cried every day while practicing the piano. Her mother was angry and helpless, and could only coax her to practice the piano.
Her eldest brother didn't even dare to go home for a month, because he would be scolded if he came back. His father, mother and second brother took turns to scold him, scolding him for corrupting himself.
That scene made Mingzhu chuckle unconsciously.
Because she was immersed in beautiful memories, she put her hands on the piano and pressed it unconsciously.
The wedding clip in her dream was slowly played out from her hands.
After only two sentences, she suddenly reacted to something and the sound stopped abruptly.
Crazy!
She suddenly removed her hands from the piano, closed the piano cover, and when she turned around, she saw Kang Jingzhi standing by the door, staring at her. Mingzhu
pretended to be calm: "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you recognize me?"
"You can actually play the piano?"
