Chapter 163: Pay attention to fate and eyesight

 Xu Jinning had learned ancient and modern jewelry appreciation in modern times, so when he saw this step, he casually said it, and his eyes were full of love for this step.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the stall owner who was lazy and ignored her opened his eyes and looked at Xu Jinning with admiration. It was only now that he looked at them.

 “Little girl, you have a discerning eye.”

“You are right. This Bu Yao really came from the court of the Han Dynasty. All things are looking for a destined person, so this Bu Yao is given to you.”

"Ah, no, it can't be done." Xu Jinning hurriedly put down his steps.

 “This thing is too precious, how can I give it away?”

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then smiled, his eyes seemed to be slightly red, "Only you will think this thing is precious, in the eyes of others, it is worthless."

"Since I said I gave it away, you should take it. Don't just throw it away."

As he said that, the stall owner directly picked up Bu Yao and threw it towards the squatting Xu Jinning seemingly casually.

Xu Jinning was startled and subconsciously reached out to pick it up.

 Fortunately, I caught it, otherwise it would be a pity if such a precious step was broken.

Xu Jinning still planned to give the step back. The next second, Xu Xiangbei, who was next to him, grabbed her hand, shook his head, and motioned her to accept it with his eyes.

Um?

Xu Jinning was very confused.

But she thought that there was probably a reason why the little brother asked her to accept it, and the stall owner seemed to be very determined to give Bu Yao to her.

so…

Xu Jinning finally accepted Buyao.

 Then I bought some gold jewelry and jewelry from the stall owner, and also bought the necklace inlaid with emerald stones.

As for the value offered by the stall owner, for Xu Jinning, who lived in the era of high-priced luxury goods, this is simply a bargain price, and it can even be said to be a free gift.

 But in the eyes of Xu Xiangbei and the stall owner, the price is reasonable.

"There is something, little girl, do you want it..." The stall owner seemed to really like her. After hesitating, he closed the stall and then took Xu Jinning and Xu Xiangbei to a relatively remote and uninhabited corner.

 Immediately he took out something from his chest.

 When he saw that thing, Xu Jinning's eyes suddenly widened.

 It is a necklace full of diamonds. The diamonds on it are quite big. This necklace is made of pink diamonds, yellow diamonds, blue diamonds, green diamonds and red diamonds, a total of five kinds of diamonds.

The diamonds are polished to be round and full, shining brightly in the sunlight.

"beautiful."

The stall owner handed it to Xu Jinning, and Xu Jinning took it smoothly. It was very heavy in his hand. Xu Jinning felt that this necklace was at least more than 250 carats.

Moreover, these diamonds are all real.

She remembered that in modern times, there was a 181-carat diamond necklace inlaid with pink and yellow diamonds, which was auctioned for a sky-high price of US$3.7 million.

It can be seen from this that the value of this five-color diamond necklace in front of you is self-evident.

 It’s just a pity that there are no people who know the goods now.

“Little girl, how about selling this necklace to you?” the stall owner said.

Xu Jinning didn’t even think about it and immediately shook his head, “No, I won’t buy it.”

"Uncle, this necklace is really valuable. It can be said to be more valuable than anything I bought from you before." "You'd better keep this thing and collect it, even if it's for future generations." That’s fine.”

The stall owner smiled helplessly, "This thing is not valuable now. It is not as valuable as a bag of rice. How can it be valuable?"

"It may not be valuable now, but in the future, maybe if you get it in the future, it will be valuable, to a level that you may not be able to imagine."

 “Who can say for sure what will happen from now on?”

“Uncle, keep this necklace for yourself and don’t sell it to anyone. Believe me, this necklace will definitely be very valuable in the future.”

Xu Jinning said it so confidently that the stall owner almost believed it.

Looking at the necklace that was handed back to him, the stall owner was stunned for a moment, and then he held it in his palm.

I don’t know if I’m asking Xu Jinning, or if I’m muttering, “If it’s not valuable now, will it be valuable in the future? Does that mean that many things in the future will be different from now?”

Xu Jinning thought he was asking himself, and said: "Of course, in the future, the wind of freedom and reform will blow to all parts of the country, equality, unity, freedom, harmony, development... everyone will be able to eat well, wear warm clothes, Children can receive free and compulsory education...it will get better and better in the future."

 “That kind of life, I believe, is in the not-too-distant future.”

As Xu Jinning described it, the stall owner's eyes looked into the distance and gradually became far-reaching.

The originally half-bent back gradually straightened up.

 The original aura of decadence and malaise in his body gradually dissipated, as if Xu Jinning's words gradually injected a vitality into his body.

This vitality is not much, just like a trickle.

But little by little, it flowed into his body, limbs, and blood, making him revitalized little by little.

 “Okay, little girl, I believe you.”

"If the future you mentioned can come true, and we meet again by chance in the future, I will definitely remember your kindness."

The stall owner finally took the diamond necklace back, said goodbye to the Xu Jinning brothers and sisters, and left dragging his lame leg.

On the way back, Xu Jinning learned about the origin of this stall owner from Xu Xiangbei.

This stall owner is in his thirties, and his surname is said to be Xiao. No one knows his name.

 Because he was lame in one leg, everyone called him Xiao Laizi.

 As for Xiao Laizi, other people in the yard don't like to get close to him, let alone be friends with him, just because of his status.

“It is said that his ancestors were royal aristocrats, but they gradually declined later on.”

“Because of this identity, their family had a hard time fifteen years ago.”

“It is said that in the accident fifteen years ago, his grandparents, father, even his wife and two children died.”

“Of course, my good home was gone, I was kicked out, and I ended up living on the streets.”

"His leg was also lame in that accident. He had no money for treatment and no one was willing to treat him, so he became lame."

“In that accident, the only people left behind were his paralyzed old mother and his infant daughter.”

“Probably for his old mother and little daughter, he worked hard to survive and take care of them until now.”

“Those gold ornaments and jewelry should have been hidden in other places by him before, because the people who were in his own home had long been taken away and the whole house was evacuated.”

“I don’t know if it’s because of that incident, but his temperament is a bit weird. Although he sets up a stall here and sells jewelry that is not very valuable now, he doesn’t sell it to everyone. He pays attention to fate and eye contact.”
