In front of a stall, Li Rui looks at it carefully. The stall is about three meters long and two meters deep. The stall owner spreads a piece of felt cloth on the ground, which is three meters by two meters. The stall owner puts all kinds of goods on it. Li Rui looks at these goods. Wow, there are so many kinds of goods. It is just like a small grocery store.
What are the goods on it? There are bronze cauldrons, swords, spear heads, etc.; jade, bracelets, chains, beads, pendants, rings, etc.; coins, knife coins, shell coins, copper coins, Yuan Datou, etc.; necklaces, turquoise chains, pearl chains, beads, sandalwood, etc.; porcelain, bowls, basins, jars, plates, etc.; silk cloth, embroidered shoes, three-inch shoes, palace shoes worn by women in the Qing Dynasty, dragon robes, court uniforms, official hats, etc.; books, all kinds of old thread-bound books, books of the Cultural Revolution, quotations of the Red Guards, etc. These are only the things that Li Rui can name. There are many things that Li Rui doesn't know the name of.
It is Li Rui's first time to visit this kind of antique and cultural relic market. Seeing so many kinds of goods on a small stall, Li Rui is very surprised. He really wants to squat down and play with each one carefully. But he doesn't forget the real purpose of this trip, so he forces himself to stop looking at those things that have nothing to do with fluorite beads.
The three of them go all the way to the depths of the market. Actually, they find fluorite beads on at least two stalls. One of the stalls gives the name "Fluorite Beads of the Warring States Period". There are five of them in total. Each of them is the size of a health ball. There is a small hole at the top. The surface is rough and worn, and the quality is very bad. Gao Zixuan and Li Rui don't think about it. On the other stall, there is a real large fluorite bead, which is a little bigger than the tortoiseshell bead. It is like a small fitness stone ball. It is light yellow all over and crystal clear. At first glance, it looks like a pearl carved out of yellow stone. Using both hands to cover the pearl so that no light could enter, and then using his eyes to look through the gaps between his fingers, he could see that the pearl was emitting a blue-green glow. It was a typical "Luminous Pearl".
The stall owner was a sloppy man in his forties. Seeing that Li Rui and the other two were very interested in the bead, he said, "Do you want to buy it? Night-Luminescent pearls are the only ones in the entire old goods market. If you miss it, you won't be able to find it again. Sigh … Don't miss it when you're passing by. You won't regret it if you buy it! "
Gao Zixuan frowned and looked at Li Rui. He whispered, "Unfortunately, the color is not right." Li Rui also felt that this bead was too yellow. It was too different from the light blue color of the tortoiseshell. If the Ambilight could fool the antique dealer, then the huge difference in color would not be able to fool the antique dealer. He said, "Let's take a look first."
When the stall owner heard that the two of them were leaving, he quickly stood up and said, "Hey, don't blame me for not reminding you. I'm the only luminous pearl in the entire old goods market. If you don't buy it and someone else buys it, you'll regret it. This pearl isn't expensive. It's only 5,000 yuan. If you're sincere in buying it, I'll give you a 20% discount. 5,84,600 yuan. How about that? "
Gao Zixuan was unhappy when he heard that. He said, "Hey, how can you calculate it? How can 5,84,600 yuan be 4,600 yuan? Was your elementary math taught by a physical education teacher? " When the stall owner saw that he could not deceive her, he was not embarrassed. He laughed and said, "Just kidding, just kidding."
Li Rui asked, "You said that you're the only luminous pearl in the entire old goods market. That's not right. We saw quite a few on our way here. I am also puzzled, how come other people's beads are all white or light blue, but yours is yellow? "The stall owner cried out," That's because their beads are all fake, only mine is the real one. If you don't believe me, you can try the luminous effect. Hey, let me tell you a secret. If they don't light it up beforehand, it won't light up at night. Look at mine. Even if it's kept in the basement, it will still light up at night. "
When Li Rui heard this answer, he was not satisfied. What he and Gao Zixuan were arguing about now was not whether the pearl was luminous or not, but that the color was not right. He asked again, "Don't you have any other color? Only this yellow one? "The stall owner said," Yes, this is the only one. What other color do you want? Let me tell you, this kind of treasure is hard to come by. You're lucky to have encountered it. You still want to pick a color? How can that be? Do you know how I got this pearl? "Li Rui asked curiously," Tell me. " The stall owner said excitedly, "Hey, I got this from an old fisherman in the countryside when I went to Yangzhou to look for treasures. He said that when he went to the river to fish for clams, he pulled up the net and dumped it on the boat. Other than the clams and stones, there was also this pearl. He thought that this was the luminous pearl from the Dragon King's Crystal Palace and hid it at home. Later, when I went to his house to collect treasures, the old fisherman took it out and sold it to me. "
Although the stall owner described the origin of this so-called "luminous pearl" as very bizarre and full of realistic romanticism, Li Rui and Gao Zixuan did not buy it in the end. The color of this pearl was too different from the tortoiseshell pearl. This was the only and most fatal flaw. They could not accept it.
After visiting the stall, the three of them swept through all the shops on both sides of the market. Finally, they returned to the car with a disappointed mood.
Lu Qingman still did not understand why Gao Zixuan did not buy that big, round, and beautiful luminous pearl. He said that the color was not right, but who cares what color it was? It was fine as long as it was luminous. She asked curiously, "Zixuan, why didn't you buy that yellow luminous pearl? It's so beautiful." Gao Zixuan shook his head and said, "The color is not right." Lu Qingman was puzzled and asked, "What color do you want? Is its color important? It's fine as long as it's luminous at night. Who cares what color it is? " Gao Zixuan's bright and beautiful face showed a bitter smile and said, "The color is not important to me, but it is important to others. There's an antique dealer from Beijing who wants to order a light blue luminous pearl from the provincial capital. Of course I have to buy it according to his request. " Lu Qingman finally understood that she was in the luminous pearl business. She asked, "What if we can't find it?"
Gao Zixuan murmured, "Yes, what if we can't find it?" She raised her hand and patted Li Rui's shoulder and said, "What do you think we can do if we can't find it?" Li Rui was using his mobile phone to search for fluorite processing plants near the provincial capital. When he heard this, he said, "Wait a moment. I've already found several fluorite processing plants in the provincial capital. If it doesn't work, we can go to the factories to buy raw stones and then ask a jade craftsman to cut them into the pearls we want. " Gao Zixuan heard this and her beautiful eyes lit up. She said happily, "If this works, I will reward you well."
Lu Qingman didn't know the intimate relationship between Gao Zixuan and Li Rui, so she didn't hear the ambiguous meaning in her words. She hurriedly said, "Why are you being so polite to him?" Gao Zixuan said seriously, "He's your husband. How can I not be polite to him? If he were my husband, I wouldn't be polite to him. "Lu Qingman smiled and said," You don't have to be polite. " Gao Zixuan teased her and said, "I'm a stubborn person. If you don't want me to be polite to him, that's fine, unless you want him to be my husband. Is that okay, Sister Qingman?" Heh heh? "Lu Qingman was amused and joked with her," Sure, why not? You can take him with you. From now on, he's your husband, hehe. "Gao Zixuan said," You're willing? "Lu Qingman smiled and said," Why not? "
Gao Zixuan said with a playful expression, "You're so generous, I don't want to take everything for myself. How about this, we'll split him, each half. He's your husband, and he's also my husband, okay? Haha. "Lu Qingman said with a smile," I think that's fine. " Gao Zixuan said, "Then I'll be like you in the future and call him my husband. Don't be jealous." Lu Qingman smiled and said, "I won't be jealous. You can call him whatever you want." Gao Zixuan said, "Then it's settled." Lu Qingman smiled and said, "Okay, you, hehe." Gao Zixuan said, "You're really generous. You're even willing to share your husband with others. Then you'll be the wife and I'll be the wife. We'll both be his wives. " Lu Qingman said with a smile, "Okay, no problem. When we hold the wedding ceremony, you can also bow to the heavens and earth." Gao Zixuan said, "Bah, I'm really letting him off easy!" Gao Zixuan said with a smile, "Didn't you want him to be your husband?"
Li Rui browsed the information about the fluorite processing plant on his phone while listening to the two women talking and laughing. When he heard that Gao Zixuan wanted to be Lu Qingman's wife, he was very excited. He felt hot all over and his face turned red. His whole body was hot and dry. He secretly wondered, was she just joking with Qingman?
Half an hour later, the three people appeared in the office of a fluorite processing plant in a village in the eastern suburbs of the provincial capital.
