Chapter 455: Ming Dynasty Items, Again
Chapter 455: Encounter with Ming Dynasty Items Again
Mengyu suddenly thought of another question. Could it be that in her past life, her intimacy with Jiang Huaiyu wasn’t because she was in love with Jiang Huaiyu, but because Jiang Huaiyu was Gu Dongxing’s woman?
Mengyu didn’t know it, but she had inadvertently guessed the truth.
Mengyu was sure that when Xie Hongjun saw her last time, there wasn’t the slightest bit of love for her in his eyes, only the hatred he had when relaying the female ghost’s message telling his parents to divorce.
But now, he came to her, claiming to have fallen in love with her at first sight?
Moreover, Mengyu remembered that after his father came to see the doctor last time, his father wanted to divorce upon learning the truth, and his mother even came to make a scene at her place, threatening to have the Public Security Bureau arrest her.
After those incidents, everyone would know his love wasn’t genuine, so was he taking her for a fool?
Or did he think she had never seen a man in her past eight lifetimes and assumed that because he, Xie Hongjiu, had looks comparable to Pan An, his charm was unmatched, and he was so confident that as long as he pursued her, she would fancy him?
Forget it, never mind him. She had originally planned to go to a landlord’s village to collect antiques, but now she didn’t feel like going anymore. Instead, she might as well go to the antique street on the city tower in G city.
Although there wasn’t an official antique street at this time, there were some underground black markets, which were just frequently dispersed.
Mengyu, in her past life, naturally had no knowledge of this, but it was only after becoming a ghost, Ah Piao, that she heard about such things. Right after the beginning of the reform and opening up, there were antique transactions often happening by the walls of a Prince Mansion in G city.
Because it was high enough, one could see the surroundings at a glance. Naturally, there were lookouts on the city tower, and those "managers" were just a few familiar faces, already memorized by the lookouts.
As soon as they showed up, a warning would immediately be issued, and the antique dealers would pack up their items.
Of course, the antique dealers were all from within the circle, and they recognized each other. Even when new faces appeared, as long as they weren’t the managers, they wouldn’t be rejected.
Though saying this, collecting antiques in the countryside could yield cheaper items, this place, where antiques were sold, could offer more authentic goods.
Jiang Mengyu took the bus to G city but didn’t notice that someone saw her getting on.
After getting off the bus, she transferred to a city bus, and finally rushed to the outside of the Prince Mansion and walked up the city wall.
A young man guarding the entrance took a glance at Jiang Mengyu, who was carrying a big bag. Seeing that she was a newcomer and just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, she didn’t seem like someone dealing in antiques, so he thought to stop her.
"Young lady, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Mengyu straightforwardly took out a pottery jar, and the young man, thinking that she was here to sell antiques, extended his hand towards her.
Mengyu knew that he was asking for a stall fee.
She handed over ten yuan to the man’s hand.
Seeing that she was cooperative, the man took the money and let her pass.
Jiang Mengyu looked around and saw quite a few people displaying antiques for sale, not much different from the places she had been to in Beijing with Cheng Jiuhe.
As she looked around, she felt somewhat disappointed because there were too many fakes here. Wasn’t it said that in the early 1980s, most of the antiques sold were genuine?
However, as she walked along, she still saw a few genuine articles.
She stopped at a stall in front of her. This stall had more genuine items than any other stall.
And, all the genuine items on this stall were actually Ming Dynasty Items!
