Chapter 8 The biggest joke in ancient and modern times
Chapter 8 The biggest joke in ancient and modern times
Xiao Mengyuan was a little dazed. Seeing that her mother didn't seem so angry anymore, she nodded quickly, stood up from the chair, and walked to her mother. He saw the scene where her mother took money out of her wallet just now.
He had never seen so much money before, and he couldn't understand why his mother would give so much money to this old woman with a hoarse voice.
After all, in his impression, his mother is a very stingy person. As long as she spends money in life, she will save it when she can, and she won't spend it if she can. Not to mention that she would spend so much money to this old grandma.
Meng Yuan was a bit unbelievable, and she was very curious about who the very old grandma in front of her was to her mother.
"Take the money back. I said it, money! No need. If you insist on it any longer, I will take back this talisman. If you really feel bad about it, just buy two fish and release them. Okay, I'm tired.
, go ahead! I won’t send it away.”
The hoarse voice sounded plain, but its meaning was very obvious. She was angry!
Seeing that Yang Shenxian was so determined, my mother had no choice but to put the money on the table back into her handbag.
"Then let's take our leave. Yang Shenxian, I've caused you trouble,"
The mother said gratefully to Yang Shenxian, and then shouted to Xiao Mengyuan, "Son! Come, come, say goodbye to grandma."
"Goodbye, grandma!" Xiao Mengyuan waved her hand, smiled and said goodbye to the old grandma in front of her!
"Bang!"
As the sound of the iron door closing came, his mother took him downstairs.
"Poof!"
As soon as her mother led Xiao Mengyuan away, Yang Shenxian in the room spurted out a mouthful of blood. She staggered and leaned against the blood-red wall. She was panting heavily, and her body seemed to have suffered an unimaginable blow.
!The whole person was dying, his face was pale, as if he was going to die at any time.
"hehe!"
Yang Shenxian sneered, and then looked up to the sky and laughed. Maybe she laughed too hard, which made her body tremble more and more, and she kept coughing. Along with the cough, the remaining blood in her mouth also splashed out from her mouth.
"Hahahaha! Ahem... Did the world bite back? Fortunately, I didn't say anything. Otherwise, even if this old fate is fully explained here today, there is nothing to say, at all. Haha!"
"There is no heaven, no earth, no Tao, no destiny, no nothingness?"
"Hahahaha! Ahem...it's so funny. It's the biggest joke in ancient and modern times!"
"Origin, dream annihilation, Daozu? It's so miserable! It's so miserable! Hahahaha!"
"The avenues of heaven and earth, the universe and the stars, are just fish and meat that can be slaughtered by others? Right?"
"Zu Xingyu."
"Poof!"
Another mouthful of blood spurted out from her mouth! "Haha, I can't see through it, I can't see through it, I can't see through it at all!"
"Do you really think I don't want to take your money? I don't dare? Hahaha! As long as there is some moral integrity in the world, who would dare to save your life? Calculate your failure? Take your money?"
"That's courting death! Hahaha."
"I'm just laughing at myself! Because you're still young, I noticed it as soon as you entered the room. It's because I didn't give up! After all, I've never seen you before!"
"Haha...it's my misfortune! Curiosity killed the cat, it's not just talk. It seems that I am destined to have this disaster."
"That's it! It's time to stop. After suffering this disaster, it will be gone in one day, and the life span of a hundred years will be destroyed. There should be only a few years left. Ha... the bells have missed all the ringing!"
"Alas! All these years of karma and karma can be considered a reward."
With her back against the blood-red wall, Yang Shenxian was still smiling, her smile... was so painful, and time seemed to be against her, frantically trying to erase her.
Compared with a few minutes ago, she had become older, with no color left, her face was extremely weathered, her wrinkles were deeply sunken, like dense ditches, and her pale eyes could not hide the loneliness.
"Mom, are we going home now?" Xiao Mengyuan asked curiously, sitting on the back seat of the bicycle.
"I can't go home for the time being. Mom has to go buy something!" Mom replied lukewarmly, as if she had something on her mind.
"Oh, okay mom,"
Xiao Mengyuan responded softly, hugging her mother's waist tightly, shivering from time to time, looking at the pedestrians passing by on the road, and couldn't help but recall what happened just now, and she was very puzzled.
The whole journey was silent.
"We're here, get out of the car first!" Mom parked the car in front of a building with colorful lights. When she looked up, she could see four big golden characters, "Department Building."
Xiao Mengyuan was very surprised. Although he had never been there, he heard the name of the department store mentioned by a wealthy classmate in the class. It was the biggest in their area! The most luxurious shopping mall was the department store! It is said that the decoration inside was particularly beautiful.
It's just that everything is very expensive.
"Mom, are you coming here to buy something? Hehe, it's great to finally see what the department store looks like. There must be a lot of interesting things. I always hear my classmates show off! I haven't seen it yet!"
Xiao Mengyuan was ecstatic, extremely excited, and looking forward to it.
"Why are you giggling? Come on, let's go. It's getting dark. I have to cook for you when I get home soon!" Mom urged, leading Xiao Mengyuan towards the mall gate!
I have to say that the department store is indeed the largest shopping mall in this area. As soon as he entered, he smelled the fragrance of roses. There were a dazzling array of products inside, including food, electrical appliances, luxury goods, etc., which he had never seen before.
brand.
He didn't recognize any of the logos or letters on it. When he looked around, he saw countless people in gorgeous clothes wandering around. In the center of the mall was a splendid patio. Looking up, he saw that there were four floors in total, and each floor was decorated with various decorations.
Such gorgeous ornaments and bright lights are simply the ultimate luxury!
"Oh my God, isn't it so beautiful? There are so many people! The lights there are colorful! There are so many dolls!" Xiao Mengyuan was stunned by the scene in front of her, and gained a new understanding of the world.
I saw him following behind his mother, constantly looking left and right, looking here and there. He had never seen anything here before, it was so novel!
Unknowingly, her mother led Xiao Mengyuan into a store called Centennial Gold.
"Wow, it's so golden! It's all golden light."
He was really shocked by the sight in front of him, it was so dazzling! Countless dazzling golden lights flashed in every glass counter in the shop. It was obvious that Xiao Mengyuan didn't know what these were, and he didn't know why they were there.
Sparkling with golden light!
"Hello, beauty, what do you need to see?" When he was stunned by the sight in front of him, a sweet female voice came. This was a female teller who sounded as sweet as she looked.
"The pendant needs gold! 999 pure gold," my mother replied calmly.
"Okay beauty, please follow me over here. All the pendants are at this counter. Do you have any requirements? I can recommend them to you."
The beautiful teller had a very good attitude. When her mother asked for the pendant, she immediately led them inside and asked politely if she had any special requirements.
"If the middle is hollow, you can put this in!" Mom said, and carefully took out a thumb-sized paper bag from her pocket, which was the amulet given to Xiao Mengyuan by Yang Shenxian.
"There are really several styles. Please wait a moment and I will bring out some for you. See if they suit you!" The beautiful clerk said, then she reached under the glass counter, took out three pendants, and carefully placed them on the quilt.
On a tray wrapped in coral velvet!
"Take a look at these styles. Do you like any of them?" the beautiful shop assistant asked politely.
"Ah, come here, son, come and pick out which one you like?" Mom pointed at the pendant on the counter and shouted to Xiao Mengyuan.
Hearing her mother calling her, Xiao Mengyuan put her head in front of the glass counter, looked at the four shining golden pendants on the tray, and asked with some uncertainty: "Do you want me to choose?"
"That's right! Let you choose. Take a good look. Mom bought this for you to protect yourself. Wearing it around your neck can protect you. From now on, you have to wear it every day and cannot take it off, so you have to choose carefully.
You like it yourself!" Mom touched Xiao Mengyuan's head and said seriously.
"Okay, okay! I won't take it off!" Xiao Mengyuan nodded happily and looked at the four pendants in front of her excitedly.
"I want this!" Xiao Mengyuan took one look at it, stretched out her little hand, pointed at one of them and said.
When the mother heard this, she looked in the direction of Xiao Mengyuan's finger, "Which one? Is it the cylindrical one?" the mother asked with some uncertainty.
"Yeah!" Xiao Mengyuan nodded happily.
Seeing Xiao Mengyuan nodding, her mother stretched out her hand and picked up the cylindrical pendant in the tray. It was a cylindrical hollow pendant engraved with a giant dragon. The dragon carving on it was lifelike, and the body of the dragon wrapped around the pendant from top to bottom.
.
After taking a closer look, he handed it to Xiao Mengyuan. Take a closer look. Do you like it? Compare it with others! Don't buy it back if you don't like it again.
Xiao Mengyuan took the pendant handed over by her mother, stared at the dragon on it, and was fascinated, and then said: "No need to compare! This is it, I like this!"
"Mom asks you again! Are you sure you don't want to change it? Are you sure you like it?" Mom asked.
"Yeah! That's it. If I don't change it, I will definitely carry it with me every day from now on!" Xiao Mengyuan replied firmly.
"Okay, wrap it up for me and figure out how much it will cost," my mother said to the beautiful shop assistant.
"Okay beauty, no problem. Let me tell you that the price of gold today is 312. We have an event now. Buy a pendant and get a high-end nylon necklace for free. It can be matched with your pendant. You don't need to buy it separately!
If you think it's okay, I'll go and issue an invoice for you now."
The beautiful shop assistant smiled and asked her mother's opinion.
"Wait! Forget about nylon. Is there a 999 pure gold chain that can be matched with this pendant?" Mom suddenly thought of what Yang Shenxian told her, it must be real gold, especially the sentence "Don't be greedy for petty gains."
What a big loss," he quickly waved his hand and asked.
"Yes! But the price will be much higher. I wonder what your budget is?" the beautiful shop assistant asked with some concern.
"It's okay," my mother replied without any hesitation.
"Okay, wait a minute and I'll get it for you," she said. The beautiful clerk reached under the glass counter again, took out two necklaces and placed them on a tray wrapped in coral velvet.
"These two are necklaces that match the pendant you just looked at. One is thicker and the other is thinner. You can choose," the beautiful salesperson said with a smile.
"Son, look at these two chains again, which one do you want?" Mom continued to look at Xiao Mengyuan and asked.
"I want the thin one!" Xiao Mengyuan took one look and said, the thick one doesn't look good! The thin one looks good!
"Are you sure? You won't change it?" Mom asked.
"Uh-huh!"
"Hello, please help me pack this necklace and this pendant and calculate the price," my mother said with a smile.
"Okay, wait a moment, I will weigh you now," the beautiful clerk said, taking out a delicate instrument from under the counter, and then put the pendant and necklace on it.
"The total weight of the pendant and necklace is 33 grams. Based on today's gold price of 312, the total price is 10296. Do you want to pay by card or cash?"
"Swipe the card," my mother said, taking out a card from her bag and handing it over.
"Okay please wait a moment."
"Yeah." Mom nodded gently.
"Okay, beauty, here's the card. Thank you for coming. I wish you a happy shopping." The beautiful clerk handed the card back and said with the same smile. The whole process made people feel very cordial.
Return home in the evening.
The mother stuffed the amulet into the dragon-patterned hollow pendant, then put it around Xiao Mengyuan's neck with her own hands, and told her: "No matter what happens in the future, you can't take it off."
Xiao Mengyuan looked at the necklace around her neck, couldn't wait to run to the bathroom mirror and kept looking at it, feeling very happy!
