Coincidence

Chapter 350 Coincidence
After hearing the woman say that her daughter is a student of Jiangzhou University, Song Ci had a bad premonition in his heart, it couldn't be such a coincidence.

"What major is your daughter studying?" Song Ci asked tentatively.

Then he looked at the Jiangnan-style manor around him again, and his bad premonition became even stronger.

"Literature, my daughter was influenced by her grandfather, and she liked ancient literature since she was a child, so she chose to major in ancient literature when she was in college. She graduated from graduate school this year and is preparing to take a doctoral exam..."

Speaking of her daughter, the woman blushed and was full of pride.

Song Ci heard the words, but he was restless.

So he interrupted her and said, "Your daughter doesn't have the last name Qiao, does she?"

"Yes, my daughter's surname is Qiao, hey, do you know her?" the woman asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, Auntie, I still have something to do. Since uncle hasn't come back, don't wait. I'll visit next time." Song Ci put down the cup in his hand, got up and prepared to leave.

This place is almost inseparable, it is Qiao Yanxia's home, how come it is such a coincidence?Song Ci was also very puzzled.

Everything seems to be arranged in general.

Song Ci thought of Xu Miaosheng's wife Feng Qiurong again.

Qiao Yanxia won't be his robbery, right?

No, he has a wife.

But no matter what, it's better to leave first, otherwise it would be embarrassing to meet Qiao Yanxia.

Wait, that's not right. Although this is Qiao Yanxia's home, she is in school, so she must not be at home. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

At this time, the woman also caught up.

"Young man, why did you leave in such a hurry? You don't want the bronze mirror?"

"Yes, of course, but I suddenly remembered something. By the way, when will uncle come back?" Song Ci asked.

Hearing this, the woman glanced at the lady's watch on her wrist.

"Hey, it's almost three o'clock in the afternoon, so you should be home soon."

Then he looked up at Song Ci and said, "Old Qiao went to the airport to pick up his daughter. She was supposed to arrive at noon, but the plane was delayed by two hours, but she should be back soon. Why don't you wait?"

"Don't wait, don't wait..." Song Ci panicked for a moment, how could it be such a coincidence.

As he spoke, he walked directly to the gate of the courtyard, preparing to open the gate and leave.

But at this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open from the outside.

The person came with a high bun, wearing a white shirt on his upper body, a pendant that resembled a peacock feather hanging on his chest, and a black gilt horse skirt on his lower body.

At this time, she was smiling like a flower, which added a bit of dazzling charm. This person was exactly the Qiao Yanxia that Song Ci had guessed in his mind.

"Mom, I—why are you here?"

Qiao Yanxia's eyes widened, her voice changed in surprise.

"Haha, it's a coincidence, it's just a coincidence." Song Ci smiled awkwardly.

The woman standing beside looked at Song Ci and then at her daughter, her face was full of suspicion.

"Do you know?"

"Yes." Song Ci said awkwardly.

"I don't know." Qiao Yanxia said indifferently.

But the different answers of the two people made the woman even more curious, realizing that there must be something going on between the two of them.

But she didn't ask immediately, but said, "Where's your father?"

"He's helping me with my luggage," Qiao Yanxia said.

At this moment, she also regained her strength, grabbed the woman's arm, and said softly, "Mom, what is this man doing at my house?"

After finishing speaking, he glared at Song Ci.

"He wants to take back the bronze mirror from our house."

Qiao Yanxia's mother looked at Song Ci carefully. In fact, she had already looked at Song Ci carefully before, but she looked at it again, and her mentality was different.

After Qiao Yanxia heard the words, she said sarcastically, "Since when did you become an antique dealer?"

Song Ci was not easy to explain to her, so he just smiled.

At this moment, a middle-aged man, carrying a suitcase, stepped into the yard.

Then he saw three people in the courtyard at a glance.

After taking a look at Song Ci, he guessed his identity in an instant, so he said, "What are you doing standing here? Sit inside."

Since he was willing to meet and talk with Song Ci, it meant that he already had the intention of selling ancient mirrors. When Song Ci first arrived in the afternoon, he had already got the answer from Qiao Yanxia's mother's attitude.

"Yes, hurry up and sit inside." Qiao Yanxia's mother hurriedly greeted her.

"excuse me."

Song Ci was not polite when he heard the words. Now that the matter has come to this point, today's bronze mirror is bound to be won.

"Young man, I still don't know your name?" Qiao Yanxia's mother asked Song Ci with enthusiasm.

Qiao Yanxia's father, who was carrying the luggage beside him, gave his wife a strange look, probably because he was surprised by her attitude.

"My surname is Song, and my name is Song Ci." Song Ci hurriedly introduced himself.

"How old are you and what do you do?" Qiao Yanxia's mother continued to ask.

"Why do you ask that?" Qiao Yanxia's father said dissatisfiedly beside her.

Then he said to Song Ci: "My surname is Qiao, you can call me Lao Qiao."

"Uncle Qiao." Song Ci hurriedly said.

Then he looked at Qiao Yanxia's mother again.

"My surname is Shen, and my name is Shen Liping. You can call me Aunt Shen." Qiao Yanxia's mother laughed.

"Okay, Miss Shen."

"Oh, how old am I, how can I still call you sister." Shen Liping said this, but her face was full of joy.

"Slick tongue." Qiao Yanxia whispered.

"Xiazi, how can you say that about a guest? It's rude." Shen Liping scolded.

Qiao Yanxia curled her lips, very unconvinced, but she didn't defend herself, she just gave Song Ci a hard look.

And Qiao Yanxia's father, Old Qiao, also saw that something was wrong.

He looked at Song Ci carefully again, and Song Ci had also been observing Old Qiao. After all, he would persuade him later to transfer the bronze mirror to himself. Naturally, the more he understood, the better he would be able to speak later.

Old Qiao is slender and has dark skin, but he is tall and has a very good temperament.

Qiao Yanxia inherited him, she looks very similar to him, but her nose and skin are like her mother Shen Liping's.

It has to be said that Qiao Yanxia is very intelligent, taking advantage of the advantages of both parents.

"How did Xiao Song know that I collected this ancient mirror?"

"Listen...listen to what my friend said." Song Ci said with some embarrassment.

How can he explain it? It can't be said that he found it all the way through Si Nanpei.

"Is it Pei Zhaokun? Back then I thought he was unreliable..."

Shen Liping's timely words gave Song Ci a reasonable explanation.

Old Qiao wanted to ask again, but Qiao Yanxia suddenly said, "Mom, who is this Pei Zhaokun?"

"It's your father's friend. I borrowed 20 yuan from your father to start a business. In the end, I couldn't pay the money, so I mortgaged a bronze mirror to your father." Shen Liping said very dissatisfied.

"Everyone has difficulties. When I was in business, I was also thanks to Lao Pei's help. Otherwise, our family would not be where it is now. We must not forget our roots."

With Qiao Yanxia's interruption, Old Qiao also forgot to keep asking Song Ci.

Song Ci cast a grateful look at Qiao Yanxia, ​​but Qiao Yanxia snorted softly, and raised her neck not to look at him.

This scene happened to be noticed by Wu Liping who had been paying attention to her all the time, and she immediately showed a smile as expected.

After passing through the winding corridors, I finally came to the main hall. The people in the room heard the movement, and an old man with silver hair came out.

"Is Xia Zi back?"

"grandmother."

Qiao Yanxia let go of her mother's arm, and strode forward to meet her.

"Xiazi."

The old man happily hugged Qiao Yanxia in his arms.

After a while of greetings, everyone finally entered the main hall.

After entering the room, Old Qiao didn't delay, and after calling Song Ci to sit down, he asked Shen Liping to take the bronze mirror out of the room.

Song Ci was very familiar with chiseled mirrors, and recognized at a glance that this was exactly the mirror he was looking for.

Old Qiao put the mirror on the table in front of him and asked Song Ci to watch it carefully.

"I found someone to see it. This is a bronze mirror from the Ming Dynasty. Although it is not well-known, it is in good condition. How much are you willing to pay?" Old Qiao asked straight to the point.

And Qiao Yanxia didn't know when, she quietly sat beside Old Qiao, looking at the two of them curiously.

But Shen Liping was busy making tea for everyone.

"There are many ancient bronze mirrors in existence. Although this bronze mirror is relatively good, in recent years, the bronze mirrors auctioned..."

It was impossible for Song Ci to quote a super high price as soon as it came up. It would be a big mistake, and if the price was too high, it would arouse Lao Qiao's vigilance, thinking that it was a treasure, and he was unwilling to sell it.

"So, I'm willing to pay [-] yuan to buy this bronze mirror. Look at it, Uncle Qiao."

"No, my friend used it to pay 20 yuan, so I won't sell it if the price is lower than 20 yuan." Old Qiao said calmly.

"Uncle Qiao, since you have found someone to look at it, you should know that this bronze mirror is definitely not worth 20 yuan. You are willing to use it to offset 20 yuan. It is your kindness, but you can't pass this debt on to me. Is this the reason..."

Song Ci's words are sincere, first a meal of flattery, and then a meal of great truth.

But Old Qiao firmly insisted that at least 20, not even a cent less.

The two bargained, and no one would let the other go for a while.

In the end, Old Qiao said impatiently: "I don't think you want it sincerely. Forget it, you can go. I won't sell this bronze mirror."

As Old Qiao said, he picked up the bronze mirror on the table and was about to put it away.

"and many more."

Song Ci hurriedly stopped him, he countered the price, it was just for show, let alone 20, he also wanted 30.

"Dad, how can you do this? Song—Brother Song is right. Uncle Pei owes you money. You don't want to ask him for it. That's your business. How can you pass the debt on to others? Just as you said, [-], here you go."

Qiao Yanxia directly picked up the mirror on the table and handed it to Song Ci.

Old Qiao stared wide-eyed, looking at his daughter in surprise.

Shen Liping covered her mouth and smiled lightly.

Seeing this, Song Ci was not polite, he directly reached out to take it, and said: "Thank you, Ms. Qiao, Ms. Qiao is kind and kind. You can pay the money, WeChat or Alipay."

"Just forward the WeChat to me." Qiao Yanxia said.

"Okay." Song Ci took out his mobile phone and directly transferred 10 yuan to Qiao Yanxia.

At this moment, Old Qiao didn't understand. It turned out that the two had known each other for a long time, and he couldn't help being even more angry. She was really a girl who was outgoing. She didn't do much, and she lost 10 yuan for no reason.

Now that he got the bronze mirror, Song Ci didn't want to stay here any longer, especially the way Qiao Yanxia's mother looked at him, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Since the deal is concluded, I won't bother." Song Ci stood up and said.

"Stay and have dinner before leaving." Shen Liping stood up and said with a smile on her face.

"No, I won't bother you. You have a family reunion today. I'm an outsider. How can I bother you?" Song Ci hastily declined.

"It's okay, you are a friend of our family Xiazi, come to our house, how can you leave like this?"

As Shen Liping said, she reached out and pulled Song Ci's arm, trying to force him to stay.

"Mom, he's not my friend, he wants to leave, let him go." Qiao Yanxia stood up dissatisfied.

At this time, Lao Qiao looked at his wife, at his daughter, and at Song Ci, at a loss.

"Sister Shen, I really have something else to do, so don't bother me. Next time I have a chance, I will come to visit you again, or when you go to Hezhou, let me know, and I will treat you well." Song Ci said with a smile.

Shen Liping looked at her daughter, then at Song Ci, and felt that there must be some conflict between the two of them, and it was not easy to ask at this time, seeing that Song Ci was determined, it was not good to force her to stay.

Seeing Shen Liping let go of himself, Song Ci hurriedly said: "Uncle Qiao, Sister Shen, Yanxia, ​​I'll go first, thank you, thank you for willing to transfer the bronze mirror to me."

After Song Ci finished speaking, he went out directly.

"Let's go."

Seeing Song Ci come out, Grandma Qiao Yanxia asked with a smile. She had been sitting outside the door basking in the sun.

"Let's go, grandma." Song Ci also responded with a smile.

"Don't stay for dinner."

"No, don't bother."

"Slow down the road."

"Okay, thank you grandma."

Song Ci walked to the gate of the courtyard, opened the gate and was about to leave, but looked back in a strange way, only to see Qiao Yanxia standing in front of the gate and staring at him.

Song Ci quickly smiled, walked out of the courtyard, and disappeared directly outside the gate.

"Going away?" Shen Liping walked behind Qiao Yanxia and asked.

"Why are you staying here if you don't leave?" Qiao Yanxia said angrily.

"Boyfriend?" Shen Liping continued to ask.

Old Joe eavesdropped on the side.

"No." Qiao Yanxia said in a cold tone.

"Then you like him?"

"No, Mom, don't talk nonsense." Qiao Yanxia said excitedly.

"You're panicking, you're panicking, you're right, right? In fact, it doesn't matter if you like it. You're not young anymore. Look at your classmates, some of them are in kindergarten, so you really want to fall in love, Dad. Mom has no objection, so don't hide it from us."

"Yes, your mother is right, if you fall in love, tell us directly, we have no objection?" Old Qiao also hurriedly said.

"Dad, Mom, thank you." Qiao Yanxia said with some emotion.

"So he is your boyfriend? Are you falling out?" Shen Liping immediately took the opportunity to ask.

"No, she's married a long time ago." Qiao Yanxia said impatiently.

Then turned around and walked back into the house.

"Married? He came to tease you even after he was married. I thought he looked like a dog, but I didn't expect him to be such a bad guy. Xia Zi, you should stay away from him." Shen Liping was furious.

"Yes, yes, your mother is right." Old Qiao quickly agreed.

Qiao Yanxia heard her mother say Song Ci like this, and for some reason, she felt a little upset, so she defended her and said: "His wife has been dead for more than two years, Mom, don't talk about him, I'm going back to my room."

Qiao Yanxia said, and went straight back to her room, leaving only the husband and wife looking at each other.

After Qiao Yanxia returned to her room, her mind became more and more chaotic, and she gradually became curious again. How did Song Ci find her home?Is everything really just a coincidence.

Thinking of this, she seemed to think of something, took out her mobile phone, and clicked on the video surveillance software.

Such a big house, how could it not be equipped with monitoring.
