Chapter 13 13. Mr. Mu

Shiliu followed Mu Hongxing to a small courtyard. If she hadn't been brave enough, she would never have followed him to such a remote place.

Mu Hongxing knocked on the wooden door a few times: "Grandpa, I'm bringing my friends over to play."

If her measurement was good, Mu Hongxing's knocking on the door just now was regular, three long and two short, which seemed to be a code. In fact, Pomegranate's guess was indeed correct. Although private sales are not allowed these days, there are not many people who do this secretly in private. Mu Hongxing's grandfather happened to be doing this.

A sturdy little old man opened the door and welcomed the two people in.

Mu Hongxing said straight to the point: "Grandpa, this is Comrade Pomegranate. She wants to buy some albums for stamp collection. You can choose them as you look." Then he turned to Pomegranate and said, "Comrade Pomegranate, I'm going to find my few books." A friend who collects stamps, please wait a moment, I will be back in half an hour at most."

Shiliu nodded indifferently. School hasn't started yet, so she has a lot of time. Besides, she thinks Mu Hongxing and his grandfather might have other good things here. She even came here, so of course she can't miss it.

The old man’s surname is Mu. He used to be an old carpenter who worked for big capitalists. He is still worth a fortune. Unfortunately, his life is not very good. He lost his wife in middle age and his only daughter married an inhumane person. Fortunately, he still has a grandson with him. Him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand it long ago.

Why! It's not easy for every household these days, just like Pomegranate. Although she is the family favorite, her father was killed by bandits in order to help protect the property safety of the village. Her mother had given birth prematurely when she heard the news. This was also the reason why the original owner had been in poor health. After all, it was difficult to feed premature babies these days. It took a lot of effort for her mother to grow up safely.

Mr. Mu is worthy of being an old carpenter, and his craftsmanship is really good. The stamp albums are also carved with exquisite patterns. In addition, there are also specially matched small boxes. Pomegranate was so fascinated by them that he bought 10 of them in one go.

Old Man Mu didn't expect the little girl to be so generous, so he quickly took out the good things from the bottom of the box and introduced them: "What do you think of this jewelry box? This is a good thing from the previous dynasty, specially used to store bracelets, with three upper and lower parts. At least ten pairs of kodama bracelets can be placed on each floor."

Shiliu secretly thought: The old man’s eyes are so poisonous, he even guessed that she likes bracelets. In her previous life, she liked wearing bracelets very much. She had three or four pairs of jade bracelets, all of which were quite beautiful. Unfortunately, they were all gone once she traveled through time...

"how much is it?"

"This is made of rosewood and the carving is exquisite. If you really want to buy it, the price is 65, plus some cloth or meat tickets."

Pomegranate's brows wrinkled: "Grandpa Mu, I really want to buy it, but your price is not suitable. You know that these antiques are not valuable now, but you still want to buy it. This is a bit too much." Now this In society, you may not be able to buy things if you have money. You must have tickets. Cloth tickets are definitely rare items.

Mr. Mu also knew that he wanted a lot. In order to buy a job for his grandson, the family didn't even have any money. He thought that the little girl was generous, but he didn't expect that she was shrewd.

In the end, Mr. Mu shook his head: "Forget it, if you want it, just give me 35. Don't think that the antiques in the black market are cheap, but they are not safe there, and many of them come from illegal sources. This jewelry box in my house is a palace craft. , is the dowry of one of our ancestors, Gege, who is from the Tong Jia clan."

The Tong Jia clan is a famous descendant in history, and it is normal to have some good things. Shiliu didn't expect that the last feudal dynasty in the two worlds was actually the Qing Dynasty founded by the Aisin Gioro family. If it weren't for the fact that there were several dynasties with different histories, she would have suspected that she was reborn rather than time traveled. "Okay, just 35 yuan." Pomegranate didn't bargain any more, took out the small vault and counted out 35 and handed it over, "Grandpa Mu, do you have any other good things in your hand? If so, I can use cloth Change."

"Do you have cloth in your hand?"

Pomegranate nodded affirmatively: "There are 10 feet in total, all in military green." She had just signed in at the door of the department store to get these cloths. In addition, there were five pieces of soap, two soaps and a Plum Blossom watch. .

Although Mr. Mu just asked for cloth tickets, he didn't think the little girl could bring out many cloth tickets. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a real rich man: "You wait." After saying this, the old man dived in without looking back. into the house.

Pomegranate squinted her eyes. She knew that Mr. Mu must have more than this good stuff in his hands. She touched the cloth bag in her hand and was secretly glad that she had brought a big cloth bag with her when she went out this time, otherwise it would be really difficult to take out the things. .

Old Man Mu walked over quickly and carefully put the things on the table: "These pair of jade bracelets were also the dowry of that princess. Originally, there were also sets of hairpins, rings, etc. Unfortunately, my grandfather's life was difficult at that time. , I gave it away for the sake of friendship, and now I only have this pair of bracelets left."

Pomegranate carefully took the jade bracelet and looked at it: "It's full of Zhengyang green." This is not bad compared to the imperial green. In later generations, such a bracelet would cost tens of millions. It was the most expensive jade she had ever worn. The bracelet is only worth 50 yuan, but it is still envied by some friends.

"It seems that the little girl is also knowledgeable. In this case, I won't say more. This jade bracelet is definitely enough to replace these cloths."

Pomegranate nodded with satisfaction: "That's natural. So what do Grandpa Mu plan to change for the rest?" He took out the cloth very happily.

Mr. Mu was also very satisfied. The little girl was happy. He was naturally willing to interact with her more. Seeing that his grandson was old enough to start a family and start a business, he, as a grandpa, had to prepare for his grandson: "If it weren't for the way the world is, I can’t bear to take it out no matter what.”

As soon as the box was opened, it was full of jewels. Shiliu looked through it carefully and said, "Grandpa Mu, these jewels are extremely well preserved."

Hearing this, Mr. Mu felt somewhat sad: "..." If this matter had gone past, he would have been a prodigal son.

The large and small boxes are full of jewelry. The most beautiful ones are two emerald rings and an emerald necklace. In addition, there are thirty pairs of jade bracelets, which are of excellent quality and almost no ordinary ones; twenty gemstone rings, and about twenty necklaces, brooches, and bracelets.

Pomegranate has become more knowledgeable, and she estimates that the real good thing, Mr. Mu, is still hidden in his hand. She didn't expect that she would meet a wealthy family, and she didn't know how the old man kept himself safe.

Shiliu really guessed this. Mr. Mu still kept a few precious items in his hands, but not many. After all, the ancestors of the Mu family were all carpenters, and it was thanks to him that he was able to marry that princess. Grandpa Taizu had a handsome face. It could be said that most of the Mu family's wealth came from Grandma Taizu's dowry.
