Chapter 1140

Gongsun Shuo said: "this is a gift I bought for Xin'er. It was bought by an old man who set up a stall. He said it was a treasure and could bring good fortune to his beloved. Although I don't believe his nonsense, the flower on the hairpin was Xin'er's favorite, so I bought it back."

Zhu Yan asked: "can you still find the old man who set up the stall?"

Gongsun Shuo shook his head: "I don't know!"

Xia Yuanqiu asked, "do you remember where it was? Let's go and have a look. Maybe we can meet him again. "

Gongsun Shuo nodded: "I remember that it was not far from the auction house. That day I happened to go to Yinzhuang to do business, so I met the old man at the door. Later, when I went there again, I didn't pay attention to his presence."

Xia Yuanqiu calls san'er and asks him to take care of Gu Sanmei. The three of them leave the inn quickly and go directly to the direction of Yinzhuang.

Far away, there is a stall outside the grand silver villa. The owner of the stall is an old man in green. He is sitting in front of the stall and dozing off.

The stall is very small, and the old man is also very thin, which is in sharp contrast with the rich and luxurious silver villa behind him, showing that he and his stall are particularly poor.

Xia Yuanqiu asked, "how much did you spend on that hairpin?"

Gongsun Shuo thought about it and said, "it seems to be one or two silver."

So cheap? Xia Yuanqiu's brow is slightly wrinkled. Looking at the old man again, he has washed the blue cloth shirt for a long time, and there are several patches on it. His hair is combed neatly, but his gray hair color makes his face more old. He is really an ordinary old man, and can't see anything unusual.

When they came to the stall, Xu was suffering from an occupational disease. Although the old man was asleep, he still felt that a guest was coming.

He closed his eyes and said, "my guest, if you look at it, it's all good things. One or two silver."

Xia Yuanqiu didn't say a word. His eyes moved from his tired face to the stall in front of him. There were two small stools under the wooden board. There was a piece of white silk cloth on the board. On the white silk cloth were all kinds of jade pieces. There were no special jade pieces, most of them were ordinary jade ornaments. There were also one or two jade pendants that looked good but were very old-fashioned.

Xia Yuanqiu wrinkled her nose, and her nose was always very sharp. She smelt some unusual smell in the air. It seemed to be a stale taste, and the stale smell was filled with a hint of earth.

Gongsun Shuo said to the old man, "old man, do you remember me?"

The old man finally opened his eyes. He took a look at Gongsun Shuo, and then grinned: "of course, I remember. Two years ago, you bought a hairpin from Xiaolao. Xiaolao said one or two silver, but you wanted to give Xiaolao ten silver. How could Xiaolao forget such a generous young man? Yes? I want to buy jade for my sweetheart again today? "

According to Xia Yuanqiu's orders, Gongsun Shuo tried to keep his face calm and his tone was gentle. He said, "old man, where did the hairpin you sold me come from?"

The old man's face changed slightly, and the original bright smile gradually solidified on his face. He then reacted and said with a dry smile, "where else can I come from? Naturally, I bought it in Yucheng, and the little old man is just a mess. If I buy it, I'll get nine coins. Not counting the travel expenses, I don't even earn a penny."

Gongsun Shuo Meng, for a moment, didn't know whether to believe the old man in front of him, so he took his eyes to see Xia Yuanqiu and asked her what she meant.
