Reborn with a Cell Phone 2007

That night, while the adults were busy, Ji Shulang found an opportunity to pull Ji Shumiao's ear and asked in a low voice: "Little witch, you can predict the future, right? Tell me, what will my future wife be like?"

Ji Shumiao's expression was stiff, and he smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled: "Haha, you will end up alone and be an old bachelor."

"Impossible! How could I, who am so charming and handsome, end up living alone? You must be lying again."

You scumbag, you still have the nerve to ask.

Ji Shumiao rolled his eyes and was about to leave, but was pulled back by Brother Lang: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to Panjiayuan tomorrow and buy a pair of walnuts or something for grandpa. I see he always feels uncomfortable when he has nothing in his hands."

Ji Shumiao asked: "Do you know walnuts?"

Langge shook his head.

Ji Shumiao chuckled, spread out his palm to support his chin, and then supported his own: "As soon as we go in, others will be able to see the big words on our foreheads - small, fat, sheep."

"Let's go take a look tomorrow to open our eyes. We can decide whether to buy or not later."

Ji Shumiao's eyes were full of distrust of him: "I'm afraid that you will be fooled and spend money like a fool."

Ji Shulang's eyes were firm: "No, I'm so smart."

The next day, Ji Shulang's face was swollen from hitting himself.

He had 3888 yuan in cash ready to buy walnuts, but after walking just a few steps at Panjiayuan, he spent all the money on a "unique Qing Dynasty" wooden sculpture of Guanyin. The kind-hearted owner saw that he really wanted it and that they were very fond of it, so he sold it to him for yuan instead of the original price of yuan.

Ji Shulang happily held the brocade box containing Guanyin, and around the corner he met love again - the same love.

Ji Shumiao: “Heh.”

"Why didn't you stop me just now?" Ji Shulang wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Did you hear me when I stopped you?" Ji Shumiao smiled wryly, "You almost became sworn brothers with that boss on the spot. I rolled my eyes and you thought I had a cramp. I slapped your arm a few times and you thought I was nauseous. The customer next to you was obviously a stooge. He kept praising the Guanyin sculpture. You were afraid that he would rob you, so you took out your money so quickly and impatiently."

"I was wrong, I was really wrong." Ji Shulang covered his face, "But he said it would bless the whole family with safety and bring wealth, who can resist that!"

"Hehe, let's take a look." Ji Shumiao said as he walked towards the stall, "Uncle, how much is this Guanyin?"

"Oh, the girl has good taste at such a young age. This is something from the Qing Dynasty..."

Qing Dynasty, early morning.

The more Ji Shulang listened, the colder he felt. This boss had better rhetoric and boasted more passionately, and the price he asked was only eighteen hundred.

Ji Shumiao smiled and comforted him: "Okay, just treat it as paying tuition fees. Every failure is a learning experience. When you go home, put the Guanyin in a prominent place to remind you of the failure you experienced today."

There are rules for buying antiques and collectibles. You will never regret it once you buy them. If you get cheated, you can only blame yourself for having poor eyesight, not the seller.

Ji Shulang felt very uncomfortable: "People's hearts are so treacherous."

After this episode, the brother and sister held on to their purse strings tightly. After shopping for the whole morning, they did not spend any money except for buying two candied haws.

Two-edged, three-edged, four-edged, white lion, four-tower, southern Xinjiang, a string of professional terms made the brother and sister dizzy. They would always talk about old walnuts that were hundreds of years old and had completely turned into jade, and they would exaggerate the price and ask for an unbelievable price.

Seeing that the sun was high in the sky, I was about to go home. When I turned around, I saw an old lady sitting in the corner. She had barely spread a piece of floral cotton cloth on the floor, with only a pair of rosy and shiny walnuts on it.

An old man holding a bird cage stopped in front of the stall and bargained in a loud voice: "Here, I'll add one more bite, 800 yuan, you can sell it to me."

The old lady's voice was full of fatigue: "Five thousand yuan, not a cent less."

"Hmph, forget it if you don't want to sell it! I don't want it!" The bird-walking uncle walked away with a proud look on his face.

Ji Shumiao stepped forward: "Grandma, can I try it?"

The old lady glanced at her and Ji Shulang and said, "Look, take it carefully."

Ji Shumiao picked it up and weighed it, then he put his hand down. When the two walnuts collided, there was a clear sound, like pebbles. This was the sound of metal and stone that the stall owners talked about.

Ji Shumiao played with it for a while and handed it to Ji Shulang. Ji Shulang took it and folded it in his hands, and the two exchanged glances.

They were fooled along the way and learned some basic knowledge.

Ji Shulang asked: "Grandma, where did you get these walnuts from?"

The old lady hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "It belongs to my old man. He has been playing with it for nearly 30 years. He treasures it very much. If he wasn't lying in the hospital waiting for money to save his life, I wouldn't sell it."

By the end of her speech, the old lady's voice was already filled with tears, and she raised her hand to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes.

Ji Shumiao calmly observed her every move. Although the old lady's clothes were old, they were very clean and elegant. Even the buttons on her shirt were exquisite. She was about the same age as my grandmother, but her skin was delicate, fair and shiny. However, there were many old calluses on her hands, and her fingers were stained dark brown.

Ji Shumiao smelled a faint scent of traditional Chinese medicine emanating from her.

"Grandma, what do you do? Your face skin is so good, and your hands are like this?" Ji Shumiao asked innocently.

The old lady sighed: "He runs a Chinese medicine shop in the countryside."

Ji Shumiao laughed: "We bought these walnuts."

The old lady said: "Five thousand yuan, not a cent less."

"Yes, not a cent less. But we are out of cash. You have to go to the bank with us."

The old lady immediately rolled up the floral cotton cloth on the ground and said, "Okay, okay."

Not long after they left, the old man who came back with the bird cage found that the old lady was missing. He was so anxious that he turned around and around: "Oh! I... I went to withdraw money! Why didn't you wait a little longer! I missed such a good walnut..."
