Chapter 548
The shopkeeper squatted down, carefully selected in the basket for a long time, then shook his head and stood up, "old man, I'm sorry, your agate stone is of no value, we can't make any good jewelry after we collect it."
"Not a piece?"
The old woman asked eagerly, her wrinkled face full of expectation.
The shopkeeper shook his head, "can't you?"
The old woman seemed to be drained of her body, and suddenly she had no spirit. Squat down slowly and carry the basket back to you.
After standing up, his lips mumbled for a long time and asked again, "can't you really use a piece?"
The shopkeeper shook his head, "sorry, old man."
The old woman's eyes were gray. "Excuse me."
Finish saying, carry basket to go out, the footstep falters, let the human heart live pitifully.
The shopkeeper shook his head and returned to Xia Wen.
Xia Xi has stood up, "Dad, I'll go out with Feng Che and look for you later."
"Go ahead," says Harvey.
Xia Xi nodded to the shopkeeper again and went out with Feng Che.
The shopkeeper took back his eyes and said, "boss Xia, you are really lucky. Your son-in-law is not a mortal, is he?"
Xia Wen said, "the shopkeeper joked. My son-in-law is not a mortal. Is he still a fairy?"
The shopkeeper, seeing that Xia Wen didn't mean to introduce him, also laughed.
Xia Xi and Feng Che went out of the door and looked around to see that the old woman didn't go too far. They ran after her and said, "old man, wait a minute."
The old woman didn't know what to call her. She continued to walk with a bent body. Until Xia Xi stood in front of her, she raised her head, "aunt, girl."
"I want to see the agate in your basket."
Just now in the shop, the old woman did not dare to lift her head. Naturally, she didn't see the two of them. She didn't feel very happy when she heard that, "do you want to play with them? Choose whatever you want. "
"No, we want to buy it."
Buy words into the ear, the old woman's muddy eyes suddenly lit up, "you want to buy?"
"Well."
The old woman quickly put down the basket and mentioned it to them, "you see, which one you like, not much, just give me ten Wen."
People come and go on the street, Xia Xi looked around and saw a teahouse not far away, "old man, it's not convenient to talk here, let's go there and talk."
"Good, good, good."
With hope, the old woman suddenly has the spirit, happy should be.
Want to carry the basket, was a Xia Xi in the hand, "old man, let's go."
The old woman was so flustered, "I'd better come. Don't wear your hand out."
"It's not in the way."
Xia Xi words did not finish, wind Che has taken the basket in the past, easy to put in the hand, toward the teahouse.
The old woman quickly followed behind and arrived at the door of the teahouse, but she did not dare to enter. "Girl, let's talk at the door."
The people who drink tea inside are rich or expensive. If she collides with any one, she will lose her life.
"Nothing. Just follow us in."
The wind Che has already entered, the basket is still in his hand, the old woman can't, follow two people's back with trembling, the head dare not lift.
Wind Che came to the counter, "Ya Jian, near the window."
The man didn't look at the old woman at all. He raised his voice and called out, "the second floor, Yajian, near the window."
Finish saying, nod head and bow of lead a person to go up.
The old woman tightly grasped the corner of her clothes. She didn't dare to help the railings for fear of being soiled.
Follow two people to come to ya, wait for wind Che and Xia Xi two people to sit down, she stands on one side.
"Old man, sit down."
The old woman waved her hand in a hurry, "my clothes are dirty, just stand."
The man took a look at the old woman and filled them with tea. He was about to retreat.
"Wait a minute."
Xia Xi shouts him, raises chin to indicate, "pours that cup also full."
"She?"
Man didn't move.
Xia Xi cold voice, "how, can't?"? Why don't you call your shopkeeper over? "
The man was flustered. "It's a small mistake. I'll fill it up for the guests."
Then he picked up the teapot and poured it on to the old woman. When he opened his mouth again, he took a little flattery with him. "My guest, please use it slowly."
Fengche waved, and the man stepped back.
Xia Xi patted the stool, "old man, sit down."
The old woman looked at the steaming tea and slowly sat in the corner of the stool.
Xia Xi carefully poured the agate stones in the basket on the table and picked them one by one.
The old woman stares straight at her. Every time Xia Xi picks up a piece, her eyes will shine. When Xia Xi puts it down, the light in her eyes will fade away immediately.
When Xia Xi had finished reading all the agate stones, she put them back on the table. The old woman's hands were unconsciously clenched, her lips were shaking for a long time, and then she asked, "can't one of them work?"
"I'll take them all!"
Xia Xi this words falls, the old woman opened wide mouth to be stunned, can't believe own ear.
"How about I give you ten Liang silver altogether?"
The old woman's mouth opened wider and her brain hummed. She couldn't say a word.
Knowing that she was so excited, Xia Xi was not in a hurry, so she took a sip of tea.
"Girl, what you say is true?"
The old woman finally recovered and asked excitedly.
"Of course, but there's a premise. Give me your basket."
"Here you are, here you are, all of them, as much as you want." The old woman's excited incoherence.
Ten Liang silver is enough for the whole family to have enough food and clothing, not to mention carrying a basket. Even if she wants her life, she will give it to her.
Xia Xi took out a few pieces of silver to give her, "old man, where did you get these agate stones from?"
The old woman held the silver in her hands, and her eyes did not blink for fear that the silver would fly. "It's in the river outside our village. There are a lot of them. I looked good, so I picked up some shangfucheng to sell them. I didn't expect that they could be sold."
"Can you show us the river?"
"Yes, yes."
The old woman nodded her head and stood up. She couldn't wait to say, "I'll take you there."
"Don't worry. Put the money away first, then drink this cup of tea, and we'll go."
"Oh, look at me. I'm happy to patronize. I have to put up the silver."
The old woman took out a black cloth bag from her arms and opened it carefully. There was five Wen in it. The old woman put the silver away and tied the mouth rope carefully until it was half tied. When she thought of something, she opened it again and put the five Wen on the table. "I have money. I can't drink your tea for nothing. It's tea money."
Xia Xi
Take up the copper and put it back in her handkerchief. "No, this tea is worth your money."
"This..."
The old lady was a little sorry. Her basket was made up by her family, and it was not worth money.
"When you finish your tea, we'll go."
The old woman quickly tied up the bag and put it carefully in her arms.
He picked up the tea cup and drank it dry. "Let's go. I'll take you there."
Several people out of the teahouse, let the old woman wait at the door of the teahouse, she and wind Che back to call Xia Wen.
Xia Wen is choosing jewelry. When they come back, they wave to Xia Xi, "Xi'er, come and help dad have a look."
"Dad, I want to go somewhere. We'll see the jewelry when we come back."
