"The little guy is six or seven years old?" Zhang Taiping asked with a smile.

With his grandfather by his side, the little boy was not very afraid of Zhang Taiping, and looked at him with clear eyes.

The old man didn't understand what Zhang Taiping wanted to say, so he nodded.

"It should be the age to go to school." Zhang Taiping said with a smile.

The old man frowned slightly. This has always been a knot in his heart. Since he has no fixed place to live, and even his grandson does not have a registered permanent residence, of course he cannot go to school without a registered permanent residence.

At this time, Zhang Qianlong understood what Zhang Taiping meant, and stepped forward and said, "Yes, old man, this young man is also at the age to go to school. You have a stable job and a place to live, and children can also be safe and stable." Definitely go to school."

The old man didn't refuse outright now, but frowned more and more deeply, and finally said: "Let me think about this before I give you an answer."

Zhang Qianlong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Zhang Taiping pulled him to signal and shook his head.Zhang Qianlong understood, it meant that too much was too much, because he was too anxious, and there was really a shortage of carving masters in the shop.

"Then think about it, this is my phone number, if you figure it out, you can call me." He took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to the old man.The old man did not refuse, took the business card and solemnly put it in his arms.

After the four left, the old man patted the little boy's head and asked, "Xiaofeng, do you want to go to school?"

The little boy lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "Yes!"

Hearing his grandson's answer in a low voice, the old man seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Okay, let's go to school." Then he began to tidy up the things on the ground.

"Grandpa, aren't you going to sell today?" The little boy looked at his grandpa's movements with some doubts.

"I won't sell it, and I won't buy it in the future. Grandpa will send you to school." The little boy didn't quite understand the meaning of the old man's words, but he still helped the old man pack his things.

However, after the four of Zhang Taiping walked over, they temporarily put this matter aside, and continued to appreciate and watch the various things placed on both sides of the road.

After a while, Kong Fei, who had never shown interest in anything along the way, became interested in the jade Maitreya Buddha on a stall.Men wear Avalokitesvara and women wear Buddha. This is definitely not bought for themselves, but given to women.

"Why, did Xiao Fei bring a gift to his girlfriend?" Yang Wanli asked jokingly.

Kong Fei smiled wryly and said, "What kind of girlfriend is that? It's my younger sister. She's like the little witch at home. Every time she asks me to bring her a gift home. If I forget that time, I can torment you for weeks."

The stall owner is also an old man. The people who sell things here are generally elderly people. If young people sell antiques, they will give people a feeling of untrustworthiness in terms of age. Only the steady face of the old man can match these vicissitudes Things that fit the situation and give people a sense of reliability.The main price at the stall was [-], Kong Fei couldn't decide to pay attention, so he asked Zhang Taiping and the other three to take a look.Zhang Qianlong nodded and said: "It's kind." This shop does not sell antiques, but all kinds of ordinary jade carvings and pendants, and the price is not exaggerated. At least this piece of jade is real, and it is worth a lot. Dozens of dollars.

Yang Wanli himself is a rookie so he will not express his opinion, Zhang Taiping also nodded.Kong Fei felt relieved and bought this thing as a gift for his sister during this trip.

After walking for a while, Xiao Xi became restless, flew out from Zhang Taiping's shoulder, circled and danced a few times above everyone's heads, and then ran to his stall.Zhang Taiping was nearby, so he didn't discipline him any more, as long as there was no trouble.

Zhang Taiping was squatting in front of a stall selling various bronze wares, looking at the bronze tripods with inscriptions cast on the ground.The boss is pointing to the rust on the bronze tripod and telling Zhang Taiping the story of discovering the tripod, boasting how real the bronze tripod is.Zhang Taiping just listened tentatively, if he believed it, he would be called hell!Rust, rust can also be made.If you were a real bronze tripod boss, would you be so stupid as to sell it for tens of thousands?

Just at this moment, I heard a nice voice from behind: "Whose bird is this? It's so cute."

Taking advantage of the situation, Zhang Taiping asked the bronze ware stall owner who was still chattering, and came to the source of the sound.But it was two girls who were setting up a stall selling a bunch of things.Xiao Xi, a stinky guy, was showing off in front of a simple-looking mirror, causing one of the girls to lie down in front of him and scream with joy.

Zhang Taiping was stunned after seeing this scene, it wasn't Xiaoxi's trickery that made him stunned, but the mirror in front of Xiaoxi gave him a strange feeling.Walking to the front, I felt a sense of vicissitudes, which I have never felt before in such a long time. Zhang Taiping immediately judged that this thing is a real antique, no matter it is worth money or not, at least it has a profound history value.

"Miss, where did this mirror come from?" Zhang Taiping asked the stall owner.

"You are the lady." The girl who was watching Xiaoxi standing in front of Xiaoxi stood up and wrinkled her nose before Zhang Taiping replied. The two small freckles on her nose seemed to be alive as her nose wrinkled. It seems to come over, which adds a bit of cuteness.But he disliked Zhang Taiping calling them Miss.

Zhang Taiping touched his nose in embarrassment, and the three people beside him also laughed.

Compared to the pungent younger sister, the elder sister was much more shy, and said with a blushing face, "We salvaged these things from the river, and we heard that they could be sold for money, so we brought them here to try our luck. "

Zhang Taiping nodded and looked at the other things, most of them were rusted and ruined, even the antiques were worthless, only the mirror in front of Xiaoxi was relatively intact.

"Then how do you sell this mirror?" He felt that this mirror was very special at first, since he got the space, Zhang Taiping paid special attention to his own feelings, even if it was really worthless, he still wanted to buy it.

"Does this gentleman only want the mirror? Don't you want other things?" My sister asked Zhang Taiping, and she felt a little embarrassed after asking.It's just that the other things are sold poorly.

"Just this one." Zhang Taiping glanced around for other things, but nothing caught his eye.

"That's three. No, two thousand." The sister's girl first pointed three fingers, and finally felt that she wanted a little too much, so she bent down and quoted a price of two thousand.The two sisters had never done these things before. When they were playing in the river, they fished up such a pile of things, and then imitated others and sold them here. They didn't really invest in how much money they could make, but they were just a novelty.

"Okay, two thousand is two thousand." Just as Zhang Taiping was about to take out the money, another voice came from behind him.

"I'll sell it to me for three thousand!"

Everyone looked behind, only to see a man in his 40s walking over. He also saw the extraordinaryness of this mirror and wanted to buy it at a high price.

"You two bid, whoever pays the most will get it." No matter how she looked at it, the younger sister felt that Zhang Taiping was not pleasing to the eye, and she dared to call herself Miss, hmph, I will give you some trouble.

Zhang Taiping frowned and didn't say anything, but the shy elder sister who had always been shy spoke: "Sister, how can you do this, I have already sold it to this gentleman." The 2000 yuan was received, and he picked up the mirror from the ground and put it into Zhang Taiping's hand.It seems that they are not the ones who are short of money.

Seeing that the mirror was gone, Xiaoxi also jumped onto Zhang Taiping's shoulder.

Seeing that the mirror was in Zhang Taiping's hands, the man next to him stepped forward and said, "This brother, take a step to speak."

"If you have anything to say, just say it here." Zhang Taiping ignored it.

"It's like this. Brother bought this mirror for 2000 yuan just now, and I'm paying 3000 yuan now. Didn't brother make a net profit of 1000 yuan when he got it? How is it?"

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "I have no intention of making a move right now, so you don't have to bother with me."

"How about five thousand? Brother, think about it again." The man still didn't give up, and added another 2000 yuan.

Zhang Taiping turned around and asked jokingly: "You are in such a hurry to buy this mirror, why do you realize that this mirror is very valuable?"

The man was choked, a little annoyed and a little embarrassing: "It's not how much this mirror is really worth, but it's useful to me."

Zhang Taiping didn't pay any attention, the four of them put away their things and left.

The middle-aged man followed a few steps and then stayed behind, watching their disappearing figures and began to think. At this time, the middle-aged man who brought Zhang Taiping and the others to this antique street came to the man and said, "Hey, I know the whereabouts of these people, but I wonder if Brother Hong is interested?"

"Oh? You know? Let's have a drink or two."

"Okay, let's go have a drink or two."

Not to mention how the two middle-aged men drank in the past, but Zhang Taiping passed by the woodcarving grandson and grandson on his return journey. Unfortunately, the place was already empty, and did the old man leave anything behind? Contact information, I don’t know how to get in touch after this trip.Zhang Qianlong was a little disappointed. If he could hire the old man back this time, even if he didn't get any good results from going to Inner Mongolia this time, it wouldn't be in vain.

Shaking his head, Zhang Qianlong threw these useless thoughts out of his mind.I can only wait for the old man to call, I am lucky to have it, but my life is lost.

In the evening, the four of Zhang Taiping returned to the hotel, and they were the first to come back.The others don't know where they are yet.
