Chapter 36 The Pawnshop
Tian Ruyue was carrying more than 20 citations that had been free from two dead people, but she couldn't reveal them. So she looked down at Tian Duocai, "I don't have money on me, but I picked up a piece of jade when I went up the mountain yesterday. I wanted to go to the pawn shop to make it. Maybe I could make it a few cents. Then decide what to eat, how about?"
Tian Duocai immediately reached out and asked for "What jade? Show me."
Tian Ruyue slapped his hand off and said, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and find a pawnshop."
The siblings were like blind men touching elephants. They looked for and asked people while searching. After a long time, they finally found a pawnshop on a street on the left where there were fewer people.
Tian Ruyue did not let Tian Duocai go in, but asked him to stand outside the door and wait, "You must wait for me, don't leave with strangers. If you are cheated and sold by someone, you will be a cow and a horse for the rest of your life. Do you hear that?" Human traffickers are too rampant now, and ancient people are no exception. You can't go out and lose your brother!
Tian Duocai pursed his lips, "...You scare me."
Tian Ruyue bent down and reached out to pinch his face, "I didn't scare you. If you were kidnapped by someone, they would break your hands and feet and throw them on the street to beg for food, but the money you asked for would be taken away by them. You will always be hungry and will not be hungry even if you don't have enough."
Tian Duocai was immediately scared to tears.
Wei Jin pretending to be a pedestrian passerby "..."
"Hiss~~!" Heizai suddenly poked his head out of the vegetable basket and was about to rush out, but Tian Ruyue pressed it like lightning. "Be good, don't make trouble~~." He reached out to scratch its chin, comforted it, and stuffed the basket to Tian Duocai. "You two look at each other, and I will break whose legs if you run away." He turned around and stepped into the pawnshop's threshold.
Wei Jin, not far away, "..." Fortunately, the cat couldn't speak, otherwise he would have been exposed.
The interior decoration of the pawn shop is extremely simple. There is a large horizontal counter with hollow railings connected to block the guests. A guy sitting behind the counter is sleeping on the counter.
Tian Ruyue walked to the counter and reached out to knock on the counter to "Wake up." Seeing that the other party raised his head, opened his hazy eyes and looked over, she continued to say, "I will be a thing for my young master."
The guy casually reached out and "bring it."
Tian Ruyue lowered her head and took out the blood jade wrapped in cloth from her arms and handed it over.
The guy took the blood jade casually and took a closer look. A gleam flashed in his eyes!
This is a piece of top-quality blood jade, priceless!
From the corner of his eyes, he looked at Tian Ruyue outside the counter without hesitation, and tried casually, "You just said that this jade was asked by your young master to be you? Which maid are you from?" It is definitely not easy to have the master of this blood jade. The maids who serve him are naturally first-class, comparable to the lady of the whole family.
But the thin girl in front of her doesn’t look like a maid from a wealthy family!
Tian Ruyue had already made full preparations. Before coming, she carefully combed her hair and changed into the best clothes given by Tian Ruhua. She looked like a maid. She asked calmly and calmly, "Do you care which young master you are? I am here to be a thing, not to sell my young master's news!"
Seeing that she was not guilty, she was sharp-tongued, and she gave up some doubts but continued to test, pretending to laugh, "I'm just asking, after all, the rules of our pawn shops are that we cannot collect things of unknown origin."
Tian Ruyue glanced around and suddenly reached out to grab the blood jade.
The guy had been on guard against her for a long time, and held the blood jade tightly and shrank his hand under the counter. He said with a smug hint, "This blood jade is indeed stolen! I want to report to the official!"
Tian Ruyue immediately jumped up, "You are slandering! Yu, I am the young master stealing my husband..." He suddenly realized that he had said something he shouldn't say, his face turned pawned, and he shouted at the guy, "...What's your business! Return Yu to me quickly, I'll go to another pawnshop. My young master is still waiting, so I can't hold it back!"
The guy stared at her suspiciously, it was a bit difficult to tell whether it was true or false.
Could it be that her young master stole the jade from the family? He didn't dare to call him a personal maid, so he sent an inconspicuous maid?
Some young men eat, drink, gamble, and steal things from their homes because they have no money. This is not the first time they have encountered it.
After several tests, he determined the other party’s origin, and then he dared to really accept the jade, “One-price, twenty taels! Or not?”
Tian Ruyue thought quickly in her heart when she heard this. The other party was obviously trying to squeeze out the 20 taels at least 100 times. That is, "... My young master said that this piece of jade is worth at least 1,000 taels! Twenty taels are absolutely not allowed! Return the jade to me, I will go to another pawnshop, my young master is waiting to use the silver. If I go too late, he will beat me to death!"
When the guy saw her talking about the young master and the young master, he completely dispelled his doubts and looked unhappy with a face that was unhappy, "Your thing is not from the right way. If your master comes here, maybe our shopkeeper's will be in trouble too, at most one hundred taels, do you like it or not!" After that, he pushed Xue Yu back.
Tian Ruyue bit her lips and thought about it, but she was hesitant.
When the guy saw that there was a door, his tone suddenly softened and whispered, "If you think of one thousand taels, it's okay, but it's dead. If you take the silver, the jade will not be redeemed. If you only think of one hundred taels, if your wife finds out, you can still use it as a ticket to redeem it. If you come to be a jade pendant, you will be attacked. If you can't redeem it, your wife will attack you. Haha, don't blame me for not reminding you, you may be severely punished, you must think it clearly."
"I'm going to do it! One hundred taels!" Tian Ruyue made up her mind as if she was really persuaded by the other party.
The guy smiled as if he had succeeded in his plan.
No one can redeem any of the things that steal from home!
He solemnly put away the blood jade, took out a hundred taels of silver notes and handed them to the ticket.
Tian Ruyue first took it as a ticket and took a look.
She found that the above were full of traditional Chinese characters, but she could still recognize a few.
He stuffed the ticket into his belt, but pushed the one hundred taels of silver to the clerk again, "Swap it for a fifty tael, two twenty taels, and the remaining ten taels are for broken silver."
The guy looked impatient, "Why are you so troublesome?"
Tian Ru had a stern face, "Please change it for me too! This silver note of 100 taels was in my son's hands, and it was gone after a flash. If it was replaced by a piece of fragments, I would probably use it for a while."
"...You maid is quite sincere." She patiently exchanged her silver notes and broken silver and watched her leave.
Tian Ruyue quickly left the pawnshop and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Tian Duocai and Heizai waiting in place.
Heizi took the Heizi from the basket with his left hand and pulled him away quickly with his right hand.
I walked too fast and couldn't see the road, and suddenly I collided with someone.
Tian Ruyue didn't think about it and took the lead to apologize, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Tian Duocai reached out and pulled her, "Sister Three, she's gone."
Tian Ruyue looked up and saw the other party's back as she was leaving. She suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly reached out to touch the silver notes and broken silver in her arms.
Still here! Not a thief! She was scared to death!
