"Hello, is this Mr. Xu?" Misha thought it was from Tang Qingyan when she heard the address Xu Er blurted out, so she didn't pay much attention.

"Uh, are you here to pick up characters? Please come in." Although Xu Wei had a heavy accent in Chinese, for a foreigner, she could speak Chinese quite well.

"Thank you. I'm here to pick up a painting on behalf of Mr. Barton." Misha nodded slightly, with a dignified and charming demeanor. I have to say that Misha is a very attractive woman, even though Xu Wei already has Chen Zhibei. , also full of admiration for her.

Xu You brought him to the living room, where several snacks and black tea were already placed on the coffee table.

These were all ordered by Xu Wei at the restaurant yesterday, not only for entertaining guests, but also for trying new things by yourself.

"Are you French too?" Xu Wei was very curious, because she was so similar to that little girl, "South of France?"

"No, sir, I was born and brought up in Paris, but my great-grandmother was from the South, and I have lived with her since I was a child."

Misha took a sip of black tea. Although it was not very authentic, Misha felt that it was already very good to receive such a reception in a foreign country.

"Mr. Xu looks very young. When I heard Mr. Button mention you, I thought you were an older gentleman." Although Misha enjoys black tea and refreshments, she is at work now, "I have seen I admire your spirit in your work, I feel like I see a spirit."

"Thank you." Anyone who is praised for your work by a beautiful and temperamental beauty will feel happy, and Xu Wei is no exception.

Xu You's ears turned red, and he quickly found an excuse to leave, "Wait a minute, I'll go up and get some writing."

After finishing speaking, Xu Er hurriedly got up and went upstairs, dawdled in the study for a while, calmed down, and then took down the written "When will the water melody song head shine brightly?"

Misha is a beautiful and talkative woman, so the previous embarrassment was easily resolved by her. Afterwards, Xu Wei had a very pleasant conversation with her about the art and history of East and West.

Xu Wei couldn't hold back, and asked Misha about her great-grandmother on the pretext of yearning for the style of southern France.

Misha didn't suspect Xu Er's purpose, although she was a little puzzled why the other party was interested in her great-grandmother, but her great-grandmother was already a hundred years old, so it was not a strange thing to be noticed.

"Speaking of which, my name comes from my great-grandmother. Her father still thought of her as a naval officer who participated in World War I and was a hero." Misha admired her great-grandmother very much, and the old man had a very legendary life.

"She and my great-grandfather met during World War II, when they were wounded and nurses, and then, as you can see, they got together and had five children, and my grandfather was her youngest. son."

At noon, Xu You originally wanted to invite Misha to dinner. In the eyes of Chinese people, it is very rude not to invite guests to dinner at noon.But this is not the case in the eyes of the French. Although Misha knew that the customs of the two countries are different, she still politely refused, but before leaving, Misha stayed to welcome Xu Wei to France. A guest treat.

Maybe, we really should go to France. When Xu Wei thought of meeting the little girl in his dream, he felt very excited.

This excitement lasted until evening, when Chen Zhibei came back with a bagful of fresh vegetables.

"Very happy?" Chen Zhibei was puzzled, not understanding what happened today.

So Xu Wei talked to Chen Zhibei about the fact that he sold a picture of calligraphy today. Although in Xu Wei's narration, his focus was on buying a picture of calligraphy, while Chen Zhibei's focus was on buying a picture of calligraphy. It was a beautiful woman who invited Xu You to her home as a guest.

"How much did you sell for?" Chen Zhibei asked maliciously when he saw the excited Xu Er.

Xu Wei got stuck all of a sudden. He was busy chatting before, but he didn't mention the price at all.

If Xu Wei accidentally forgot because it was his first time selling calligraphy, then the other party, Misha is obviously a career-oriented woman, how could she make such a low-level mistake.

After hesitating for a long time, Xu Yiqi called Tang Qingyan and told the other party that someone had come to take away the text, but he didn't discuss the price.

"Cough, it's okay, just treat it as the one I bought. When you come to Kyoto, you can eat, drink, have fun, and I'll cover it all." Tang Qingyan was quite happy when he heard Xu Wei call and say that someone had already taken away the things. Later, when I heard that Xu Wei didn't care about the other party asking for money, I really wanted to laugh.

When Tang Qingyan contacted this matter, he was ready to pay the other party, so Tang Qingyan was not surprised that the other party did not pay. He just felt sorry for his little cousin, and it seemed that he would be depressed for a while.

But Tang Qingyan also knew that this little cousin had a thin skin and was afraid of making people angry, so he quickly comforted him.

It doesn't matter if it's money or not, but Xu Erju feels aggrieved. Although it's not the first time to do business, it's the first time that this is self-produced and sold. It's a lie to say that you have no expectations for the price.

When Xu Wei is in a bad mood, he can only do two things, one is to eat, the better the food, the better, and the other is to write, and write whatever he thinks of.

Chen Zhibei originally wanted to make a meal of braised pork ribs today, but because he was not satisfied with Xu Wei's previous performance, he didn't cook the ribs, and only put two plates of fried vegetables on the dining table, which made Xu Wei even more depressed.

However, Xu You also has a new way to relieve his depression, that is, to go to the ghost market.

This is what Xu Wei discovered recently. It turns out that there is also a ghost market in the magic city. It is under a bridge beside the Yellow River. It is said that there were only two or three kittens in the past. It has only grown in scale in the past two years. There are good things in it. There are many, but it is very eye-catching.

Ghost market, also called night market or dawn market, at the beginning, it was also a place to sell some "unspeakable" things. Nowadays, some uncertain things, those who want to fish in troubled waters, and newly unearthed things will also be sold. Get the ghost city to shoot.

The opening time of the market is usually two or three o'clock in the morning, and all transactions are carried out in the dark until the end of four or five o'clock.

There, all the light sources must be prepared by themselves, and the stall owner will not provide any light sources. Therefore, the ghost market is also a place that tests your eyesight.

Xu Er originally wanted to go alone, but as soon as he told Chen Zhibei about it, Chen Zhibei got in the way very domineeringly, and went from visiting the ghost market alone to walking in two.

The two went to the bank after dinner. Before the bank was closed, they went to the bank manager and quickly withdrew some money. The ghost market was all about secret transactions, but no one accepted the checks.

Before going to bed, Xu You set the alarm for the alarm clock, then hugged Chen Zhibei and closed his eyes and fell asleep. When the time came, the alarm clock hadn't rung, and Chen Zhibei woke him up.

Xu You got up in a daze, and was dragged by Chen Zhibei to wash and change into long clothes and trousers.Although it is summer now, it is still a bit cold in the early morning.

The two of them drove there. Sitting in the car, because the temperature was moderate, Xu You took a nap and got off the car feeling refreshed again.

In fact, as long as it is related to antiques, Xu Er is usually very energetic, and he did a good job on the [-]th.

It wasn't too early for the two of them to come. When they entered, a few transactions had already started to happen in the ghost market.

Here, there are not only common ornaments on the market, but also some things that are generally not seen on the market, such as large bronzes.

Bronze wares can be roughly divided into food utensils, wine utensils, water utensils, musical instruments, weapons, and miscellaneous utensils according to their uses, and according to the classification, one type is rarer than the other.

In the ghost market, Xu You saw a ritual vessel at a glance, and it was a large ritual vessel, a tripod.

To be precise, it is a bronze three-legged round tripod with a cover, decorated with taotie patterns, phoenix patterns, and tiger heads.

Next to it are several bronze vessels of different sizes, all of which can be seen to belong to the same period, and there is some moisture on them.

In the old saying, this is a life pit.

The so-called living pits are cultural relics that have just been unearthed. Based on the fact that if the bronzes were unearthed by formal archaeology, they must all be in the museum. One can imagine where these bronzes came from.

Speaking of which, I have also done things like digging food out of the soil. Thinking of the three boxes of treasures that I and Chen Zhibei dug up together, Xu You realized that he was not actually a good citizen who obeyed the law.

Looking at these bronze wares with unusually bright halos and wisps of black air in the halos, Xu You can only feel regretful that another large tomb has been patronized, and the historical value inside is about Not much left.

Xu You led Chen Zhibei to continue walking forward, meeting a few acquaintances in the circle from time to time, and even two people came to ask Xu Wei if they wanted to go and see those bronze wares together, but they were all rejected. Xu You politely declined.

It is impossible to report and supervise, but it is absolutely unacceptable to help the gangsters.

Many people who came to the ghost market had the same thoughts as Xu Er and Xu Wei. Although they saw the big tripod, they also saw the origin of that thing, but most of them chose to ignore it.

Maybe someone will report this matter, but this group of people are not fools. If they can't sell today, they will probably change places tomorrow.

After walking nearly half of the whole street, Xu You didn't see many good things, and these few objects that looked okay were just antiques with a relatively obvious halo, according to what Xu You wanted to collect. Standard, or worse.

Chen Zhibei, on the other hand, fell in love with a dagger, liked it very much, and paid for it on the spot.

Although Xu You has no research on weapons, it can be seen that it is a modern product. From the perspective of the scope of antique collection, it has no collection value, but Xu You can feel that the reason why Chen Zhibei likes it is because The item itself, as a dagger it is very sharp and easy to use.

Most men, men who have been in the army, will like such things.

As for Chen Zhibei, he was not only a very manly man, but also a man who had been a soldier.

Although he muttered a few words in his heart, Xu Er didn't show any disdain for Chen Zhibei's hobby.

I just lowered my head and walked around the stalls one by one, trying to see if there were any items that could be bought.
