1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

Chen Xiao calmed down his excited expression and then asked the stall owner.

"Boss, how much is this jade pendant?"

Sha Zhu grabbed Chen Xiao's arm.

"Brother Chen Xiao, don't buy this jade pendant! This owner is so ruthless! He actually dared to sell this yellow jade pendant for 50 yuan!"

Chen Xiao doesn't care about the price of 50 yuan at all.

This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for him.

The boss's face turned ashen again. He glared at Sha Zhu and was about to scold him.

Chen Xiao spoke here.

"I think this jade pendant is very beautiful. I plan to buy it and give it to your sister-in-law Huairu."

After saying that, Chen Xiao took out five big black tens from his pocket.

The stall owner's eyes lit up instantly.

He picked up the jade pendant with both hands and handed it to Chen Xiao respectfully.

"Boss, you really know what's good. Let me tell you something in secret. This jade pendant is a valuable item. It's passed down from my ancestors. If my family hadn't been in some trouble recently, I wouldn't have sold it."

Chen Xiao smiled and said nothing more.

He has the talent of golden eyes. How could he not know whether this jade pendant is valuable or not?

After handing the Big Black Ten to the boss, Chen Xiao took the jade pendant and put it directly into his trouser pocket. Then he transferred the jade pendant to the system space in his trouser pocket.

After doing all this, Chen Xiao said goodbye to Sha Zhu and left with his bicycle.

"Silly Zhu, you guys continue shopping. I'm going back first."

Chen Xiao didn't want to ruin Sha Zhu's blind date. In the TV series, Sha Zhu froze to death in a bridge hole in his old age.

Hopefully this time he can change his previous fate.

"Brother Chen Xiao, take care!" Sha Zhu said goodbye while looking at Chen Xiao's back.

Just when Sha Zhu and Teacher Qian were leaving, a middle-aged man came to the stall behind them.

The middle-aged man looked at the empty stall, and he felt as if his soul had been sucked out of him.

Then he yelled at the stall owner.

"Where's the jade pendant? Where's the jade pendant? Didn't I ask you to leave it to me? How come it was bought by someone else in just a few moments?"

The stall owner was collecting the rags on the ground.

"Leave it to you? Do I know you well?"

"If you don't come, do I have to wait forever? I just sold it to a young man pushing a bicycle. I guess he hasn't gone far yet. Maybe you can catch up with him."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man turned around and looked around. He saw at least a dozen young people pushing bicycles. How could he tell which one was buying the jade pendant?

In an instant, his blood pressure soared.

The antiques I had originally obtained were gone just like that.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he reached out and slapped the stall owner.

"Do you know how much that jade pendant costs?"

"That's a double dragon pendant from the Warring States Period, with a history of over two thousand years."

"It's worth at least 10,000 yuan now!"

"You actually! You actually sold it out like that!"

The stall owner covered his face and looked at the middle-aged man in shock.

"How much did you say? That jade pendant is worth ten thousand yuan? Are you telling the truth?"

The middle-aged man slapped him again with his backhand.

"If it wasn't worth that much money, would I be so fucking angry?"

Suddenly, the stall owner felt as if the sky had fallen.

He just missed out on this incredible wealth.

......

On the other side, Sha Zhu and Teacher Qian had not gone far.

They heard everything the middle-aged man and the stall owner said just now.

Sha Zhu turned around to ask the truth, but Teacher Qian beside him stopped him.

"Silly Zhu, what are you going to do?"

"I'll go ask that person if the jade pendant is really worth ten thousand yuan."

"If so, then Brother Chen Xiao will become rich." Sha Zhu said excitedly.

Teacher Qian glared at him.

"Why are you so stupid? You are not allowed to go. Do you hear me?"

Sha Zhu scratched his head, confused.

Teacher Qian stomped his feet in anger. How could this Sha Zhu be so stupid?

Teacher Qian changed the subject and looked up at Sha Zhu and asked.

"Silly Zhu, didn't you just say you wanted to buy that jade pendant for me?"

"Now I'm giving you a chance. As long as you use that jade pendant as a betrothal gift, I'll agree to marry you!"

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment.

"Teacher Qian, are you telling the truth?"

"Why would I lie to you? Of course everything I said is true."

Teacher Qian even deliberately held Sha Zhu's hand, shook it and continued speaking.

"Remember? As long as you give me that jade pendant as a betrothal gift, I will agree to marry you!"

"But......"

Shazhu was in a dilemma.

"But what?" Teacher Qian asked dissatisfiedly.

"Could it be that you don't like me? Don't want to marry me?"

"No..." Sha Zhu said with a wrinkled face.

"That jade pendant has already been bought by Brother Chen Xiao, and it's worth 10,000 yuan. I can't afford it at all."

Teacher Qian pointed at Sha Zhu's forehead.

"You are so stupid! Your brother Chen Xiao has no idea how much the jade pendant is truly worth."

"Didn't he buy it for 50 yuan? You said your fiancée liked it, so you paid 51 yuan for him to sell it to you."

Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment.

He couldn't do such a thing.

Besides, Chen Xiao has always been nice to him, so he would never do such a thing.

Looking at the beautiful Teacher Qian in front of him, Sha Zhu didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Anyway, I've already told you that without the jade pendant as a betrothal gift, don't come to me anymore."

After saying that, Teacher Qian turned around and left, no longer going shopping with Sha Zhu.

He has a jade pendant worth ten thousand yuan, plus Sha Zhu's monthly salary of 40 yuan.

With this calculation, Sha Zhu's not-so-handsome appearance is also neutralized.

.......

Walking home alone, Sha Zhu felt extremely confused.

On one side is the beautiful teacher Qian, and on the other side is Brother Chen Xiao who treats him very well.

He really didn't know what to do.

He would never do anything to deceive Chen Xiao.

Just like that, Sha Zhu returned to the courtyard.

Just as I was about to open the door and go in, Chen Xiao came out pushing a bicycle.

Chen Xiao was just about to go to Qin Huaiguo. Judging from the time, the Konjac Sauce should be almost done, and it was time to prepare a deal with Lao Bei.

Looking at the warning book Sha Zhu, Chen Xiao asked.

"Silly Zhu, what's wrong with you? Did your blind date not go well?"

Sha Zhu, who was thinking about something, was so scared when he heard Chen Xiao's voice that his whole body shuddered.

"Brother Chen Xiao, are you getting ready to go out?"

"My blind date today went pretty smoothly, pretty smoothly..."

"Really? Then why do I feel like you're a little unhappy?" Chen Xiao joked.

Sha Zhu looked at Chen Xiao and said seriously.

"Brother Chen Xiao, do you know how much the jade pendant you bought is worth?"

"As soon as you left, another middle-aged man came and said your jade pendant was worth 10,000 yuan."

"Then Teacher Qian heard about this and said that if I wanted to marry her, I had to give her the jade pendant as a betrothal gift..."
