The twenty-sixth day of being eavesdropped
The next morning.
Gu Jinshui had breakfast. Liang Ying was on night shift today and could take care of the children, so he took the money and bills and went out without worry. He
rushed to Beizang Village early in the morning and bumped all the way. Before he entered Master Guan's house, he heard a familiar voice inside.
"Master, this is a good thing."
The jade snuff bottle was shiny and glossy, and it was covered with fine carvings. At a glance, even a blind person could tell that it was a good thing.
Gu Jinshui's heart skipped a beat and he walked a few steps faster.
The person sitting in Master Guan's main room was Song Jianshe.
"It's you!" Gu Jinshui's face was not very good.
Master Guan was smoking a pipe, and his face was full of wrinkles and ridges, but he quickly covered it up.
"Do you know each other?"
"Not really, we are brothers from the same courtyard."
Song Jianshe put down his snuff bottle and smiled at Gu Jinshui very warmly. Seeing Gu Jinshui's sullen face, he felt even happier.
He was right this time. Judging from Gu Jinshui's appearance, this snuff bottle must be a top-notch item.
Gu Jinshui looked at him with a knife-like gaze.
"You are a dog that has become a spirit. You have such a sharp nose that you have followed me here."
Song Jianshe was not annoyed. He acted very tolerantly: "Jinshui, your words are meaningless. Don't worry about how I got the news. This good thing is available to everyone, right, Master?" Song Jianshe
looked at Master Guan.
Master Guan coughed, knocked on the table with his cigarette holder, and said, "I don't know you. It doesn't matter who gives this thing. I only look at the money. Whoever pays more will get it." Gu
Jinshui secretly said in his heart, "Oh no. "
With Song Jianshe here, Master Guan will probably ask for a high price.
Sure enough.
Grandpa Guan talked about the origin of this thing, saying that it was something from his great-grandfather's lifetime. His great-grandfather was a third-rank official at that time, and his position was not small. There were countless antiques and treasures at home. He paid three hundred taels of silver to buy such a jade snuff bottle.
It was worth three hundred taels of silver at that time, not to mention the price now.
Moreover, the water head of this jade is so smooth, and the material alone is not cheap.
"Grandpa, how much do you say it costs to buy this thing?"
Song Jianshe urged.
Grandpa Guan was silent for a moment, adjusted his sitting posture, and said, "At least twelve thousand!"
Twelve thousand? !
Song Jianshe and Gu Jinshui were cursing in their hearts!
Is the thing worth this money?
Worth it!
But the problem is that the price is too expensive, beyond their expectations.
"Don't think it's expensive," Grandpa Guan seemed a little embarrassed. He picked up the coarse porcelain tea bowl on the table and drank a sip of water. "If I hadn't really had no choice, I wouldn't want to sell this thing. If I keep it, I don't know how much it will be worth in the future."
"Yes, I also know that you are reluctant to give it up. Your price is a real price."
Gu Jinshui said, "But I don't have so much money on me now. Otherwise, give me a chance to go home and take it."
"Hey, how come it's yours? I didn't say I wouldn't buy it!"
Song Jianshe was still hesitating. When he heard what Gu Jinshui said, he immediately became anxious and quickly followed suit. "Grandpa, it's twelve thousand, no bargaining!"
"Okay, since you all want it, it depends on who brings the money first. I will sell it to whoever brings the money first."
Grandpa Guan said with a sigh of relief.
Song Jianshe hurriedly asked, "If you don't have money, can you use small yellow croaker?"
Small yellow croaker?
Gu Jinshui couldn't help but glance at Song Jianshe.
Song Jianshe didn't notice at all, and stared at Grandpa Guan.
Grandpa Guan was stunned for a moment and nodded: "That's fine."
Gu Jinshui and Song Jianshe agreed with Grandpa Guan, and the two came out. Gu Jinshui took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and blew it, "Okay, Jianshe, your Song family is quite wealthy, and there are small yellow croakers."
"Who doesn't have something left by their ancestors?"
Song Jianshe said with a fake smile: "But you, Jinshui, are quite good at making money. Twelve thousand in cash, you are quite capable."
Gu Jinshui looked at him, and there was a smell of gunpowder in their eyes. They hurried back home.
"My dear, isn't it a bit unfair for us to do this?"
Aunt Guan lifted the curtain and came out of the house, rubbing the apron around her waist awkwardly.
Grandpa Guan said, "What's not so kind about it? We didn't agree to sell it to him alone. Besides, this transaction is a matter of mutual consent. I didn't make it difficult for him. If he had given me the money first, I would still sell it to him."
He saw that the old woman didn't say anything and just lowered her head, and he knew that the old woman was upset.
Grandpa Guan waved his hands, "Okay, don't worry about it. You think they are at a loss. If I buy it back for twelve thousand, they can find a seller and make hundreds of dollars in the future. If there is no other way, I would never sell it to death." It
is said that it is better to be smart than to be smart.
Grandpa Guan has been selling his belongings for so many years, and he has already learned the tricks. He knows how much profit each item can bring.
He originally thought that this thing was good. If it was kept as a family heirloom, it would at least ensure that his descendants would be rich for generations.
But now he was in a hurry and could not care about his missing descendants.
When thinking about Daya's marriage, Master Guan didn't say anything, but he had already had several bad things in his mouth.
Gu Jinshui came and went in a hurry, and came back after half a day.
At noon, Liang Ying made fried noodles with soybean sauce at home. Seeing that the young lady was greedy and fed a few mouthfuls, she was eating when she heard footsteps, and then Gu Jinshui came in with a forehead full of sweat.
As soon as he entered the room, he closed the door and drew the curtains.
Liang Ying stood up puzzled: "What's going on? Aren't we going to buy something?"
Gu Yousi was picking at the noodles in the small bowl in front of him, with a circle of sauce around his little mouth. He blinked his round eyes at his father.
As soon as my father entered the room, he took the teapot on the table and drank a bellyful of water, then wiped his mouth and said, "Don't mention it. I don't know how the bastard next door is so well-informed. He knew it."
"Song Jianshe?"
Liang Ying was surprised. "How did he know?"
Gu Jinshui was also puzzled. He said, "Who can know this? Their family is really weird. There is another thing. The eldest master offered 1,200 yuan. Guess what Song Jianshe said."
"What?"
Liang Ying asked hurriedly.
Gu Jinshui sneered, "He said that we can use small yellow croaker instead. Damn it, his old Song family has been poor for eight generations. The family under the city gate can afford small yellow croaker. If this thing has a clean origin, I will take his surname!"
Liang Ying was also surprised.
But now is not the time to talk about this.
She said, "You are short of money and you are
here to get it. How about I..." "No need." Gu Jinshui shook his head, "I have enough money. I am just afraid that the master will not only offer this price, and Song Jianshe is not an honest man. I am afraid that he will raise the price at the last minute."
This is true.
Liang Ying was a little worried.
Liang Ying knew how much her husband had been busying around for that piece of jade cicada and how much thought he had put into it.
Liang Ying suddenly said, "You said he sold the snuff bottle for his granddaughter."
"Nine out of ten times, that's right."
Gu Jinshui went into the house to get the money. While counting the money, he said, "I've asked around. The old couple only have this granddaughter. If they don't sell things for her, they can't sell them for others."
"What if our family wants to give it to someone else?"
Liang Ying suddenly said.
Gu Jinshui paused while counting the money and uttered an "ah".
Liang Ying walked over and whispered something in his ear.
Gu Yousi was very curious outside, but he couldn't hear the couple's whispers.
Gu Yousi was really curious, like an ant crawling.
She sat in the walker, kicking her legs and walking towards the house. As soon as the little girl reached the doorstep, she was picked up by Liang Ying.
Gu Jinshui smiled, "Wife, you are really capable. I think your trick will definitely work."
"It's good that you can come home early today. Today is February 2nd. Mom said she wants to eat spring cakes."
Liang Ying weighed the child and smiled.
Gu Yousi's mouth was full of greed when she heard the word "spring cake".
Then she suddenly remembered that today was February 2nd. Isn't February 2nd the day when Song Jianshe saved the grandson of the old overseas Chinese and got the golden thigh?
February 2nd? Gu Jinshui and Liang Ying were both a little surprised.
They knew about this, but they didn't expect it to be so close.
Gu Jinshui didn't think much about it. If Song Jianshe wanted to save people, then let him save people. It's a good thing.
On the other side.
Song Jianshe just came out of the house, and Huang Xirong was still muttering beside him: "What kind of things are so expensive, Jianshe, we can't let others cheat us. That idiot last time..."
"Mom, can't you trust me?"
Song Jianshe was angry and annoyed when he heard about that idiot.
After this incident, he got a nickname in the compound, especially those children, who called him idiot behind his back.
Song Jianshe can't stand hearing the number idiot now, and he will explode when he hears it.
Huang Xirong stopped talking quickly: "Mom won't tell you, Mom won't tell you, Mom is also nervous, this thing is what your dad paid for with his life."
When she said this, Song Jianshe's face changed.
"Dad, grandma..." Song Chaohua said timidly.
Song Jianshe saw her in the main room, his face changed, and then he smiled quickly, "Xiaohua, didn't you go out to play with someone? Why are you at home?"
Song Chaohua smiled, "Dad, I remembered something to tell you..."
"Whatever it is, wait until I come back!"
Song Jianshe saw Gu Jinshui walking outside, and immediately became anxious. He didn't care about Song Chaohua, waved his hand and hurried out.
Song Chaohua was anxious and wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by her grandma.
Huang Xirong patted her shoulder with drooping eyelids, "You just play around all day. Your brother's diaper has soiled the basin, why don't you go wash it? I tell you, don't think your dad loves you, you will make a fuss!"
"Grandma, I really have something to do!"
Song Chaohua saw her father running out of the yard, and she was very anxious.
There is a big thing today.
The grandson of the overseas Chinese was kidnapped. It was Gu Jinshui who caught him on the bus in his previous life. The old overseas Chinese was grateful and helped Gu Jinshui's family a lot.
She originally thought that she would catch her father at home today and tell him about it as soon as possible. She knew the time and place, so it was a sure thing.
But she didn't expect her father to run away without even listening.
"What's the big deal? You're just a kid, you just know how to be lazy. It's your dad's fault!"
Huang Xirong didn't listen to her, slapped her on the head, and dragged her to wash diapers.
