Finally coaxing Cui'er to leave, she turned around and withdrew to the shop, took out the jade pendant that Chu Jiangnan gave her, and threw it on the counter: "See how much this is worth?"

The things that Nan Wang Ye carries with her must be worth a lot of money, and she is in a hurry to get rid of it now because after this jade pendant is taken off, she has nothing to do with Nan Wang Ye.

Anyway, no one knew anyone in the dark last night, and now the shopkeeper of this pawnshop is only afraid and doesn't recognize himself, since this is the case, it is better to get rid of the jade pendant early.

The shopkeeper picked up the jade pendant, and after a glance, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the greedy look at the moment couldn't stop it.

But he quickly put away his amazing expression, and when he looked back at Murong Qiqi, there was only calm left at the moment, without any waves: "This jade pendant is still a little valuable, so I'll give you five hundred taels." ”

"Well, I don't deserve it. Qiqi stretched out his hand, snatched the jade pendant back, turned around and walked outside.

After being stunned for a moment, the shopkeeper quickly walked out of the counter and hurriedly chased after him: "Girl, why is it not appropriate? ”

"The shopkeeper doesn't have the heart to do business with me at all, just throw me such a joke price, why should I talk to the shopkeeper, isn't this a waste of each other's time?" Murong Qiqi didn't seem to be interested, and kept wanting to go out the door.

The shopkeeper took two steps forward to block her, and said with a smile: "The little one was clumsy just now, and I didn't see the value of the jade pendant, can the girl let the little one take another look, so that the little one can estimate it again?"

Qiqi raised his eyebrows, squinted at him, and a little uncertainty flashed in his eyes: "Do you really have the sincerity to do business with me?"

"It's nature. The shopkeeper took the jade pendant she handed over with both hands with a smile, looked at it seriously again, and after looking at it for a long time, he straightened his face, looked at her with lowered eyes, and asked, "I don't know where the girl's jade pendant came from?"

If you are not happy to do this business, I will find another pawnshop. She stretched out her hand, trying to get the jade pendant back.

The shopkeeper took half a step back, obviously unwilling to return the jade pendant to her, and immediately put on a smile and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, the little one is just asking casually, don't mind, girl, this jade pendant is estimated to be worth three thousand taels, I don't know what the girl thinks?"

Murong Qiqi frowned calmly, and his face was still not very good-looking.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment before saying, "Four thousand taels is the highest price that can be offered for the small one, and if the girl is unwilling, the small one has nothing to say." ”

"Five thousand taels. Murong Qiqi said lightly, her voice was very calm, as if five thousand taels was nothing to her at all.

The shopkeeper hesitated, was silent for a few moments, and then shook his head and sighed: "The price of five thousand taels is too high, it's not that the little one doesn't want to trade with the girl, it's just that this business really can't be done." ”

Handing the jade pendant back to Qiqi, he sighed and said, "Although the jade is a good jade, it's really not worth the price, so the girl should take the jade pendant away." ”

"Buying and selling is not benevolent, and I hope there will be a chance to cooperate next time. Qiqi really took the jade pendant back, and walked towards the door with a move, without the slightest nostalgia.

In fact, there was a little nervousness in her heart, she was just betting on whether the shopkeeper was willing to agree to her price, if not, I was afraid that the jade pendant would be worth four thousand taels of silver, so that it was a transaction with the next pawnshop, and she had a bottom in her heart.

Sure enough, when she just stepped over the steps with one leg and was about to step out of the door, the boss's deep voice came from behind her: "Five thousand taels is five thousand taels, this time the girl should not be small again, five thousand taels, there is no two prices." ”

Qiqi's thin lips hooked, and he smiled with satisfaction, then looked back at him, blinked his beautiful eyes, and said lightly: "I still have one condition......"

Walking out of the door of the pawnshop, he touched the dozen silver tickets in his arms, and his heart was sweet, he really didn't think that a small jade pendant was worth so much money, but he was afraid that the value was far more than five thousand taels.

But you should always be a little sincere, saying that five thousand taels is five thousand taels, enough for your own expenses, and you can't be insatiable.

There are also a few ambergris grass around his waist, although the price that can be sold is nothing compared to the five thousand taels, but a small amount is also money, and you can't forget how poor you are on weekdays just because you have a lot of money.

So she took three ambergris plants and walked down the street again, looking for suitable shops along the way.

As for Murong Qiqi, after leaving, a slender figure appeared at the door of the pawnshop, and came to the boss in a blink of an eye.

He wears a wide-brimmed hat, if the big hat covers most of his face, if you don't look carefully, you can't see his face clearly, but judging from the little facial features exposed outside, it is not difficult to see that he is definitely a good-looking man.

"I want the jade pendant that the girl took just now. The voice was very faint, but it was extremely cold.

"Gong ...... Childe, what does this mean?" The shopkeeper quickly hid the jade pendant in his arms, raised his eyes to look at him, and said with a light smile: "We are a pawnshop here, which only provides pawn services to guests, and does not sell goods, Childe, please ......"

With a "snap", a long sword was rested on the counter, the young man in black slightly sideways the brim of his hat, a pair of cold eyes stared straight at the shopkeeper, his thin lips opened lightly, and two cold words overflowed: "I said I want that jade pendant, I will give you five thousand taels, if you want to die or jade pendant, you choose." ”

There was another "snap", and the silver ticket of 5,000 taels fell on the counter.

The shopkeeper was trembling with fear by the long sword, knowing that he couldn't provoke the other party, but he couldn't help it.

What is 5,000 taels to this priceless jade pendant? If this jade pendant changes hands again, it can be sold for a high price of 10,000 taels.

"This ...... This store is open for business, and it will never be a loss-making business, Childe, you ......"

"So I'll give you five thousand taels, don't waste my time again. The big palm fell on the scabbard, the long finger was lightly picked, and with a "bang", more than half of the long sword came out of the sheath, and the sword body suddenly opened with a cold cold light.

A murderous aura rushed towards him, and even the shopkeeper who didn't know martial arts was so frightened that his heart contracted, and he couldn't even speak.

Listening to the man in black say in a deep voice: "As long as my sword is unsheathed, it will never return to the sheath without blood, whether it is fatal or the five thousand taels of silver are with you, anyway, I am determined to get this jade pendant." ”

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he couldn't even breathe, and he wanted to open his mouth to call for help but didn't dare, although the security in the imperial city was good, and he was threatened by others in broad daylight, as long as he called, maybe someone from the government would enter the door immediately.

But he was very afraid, afraid that before the people of the government arrived, the sword had already cut his neck.

The black-clothed man in front of him had a cold and lonely aura, and this aura alone was enough to make people timid.

He hesitated, but finally took out the jade pendant from his arms, handed it to him respectfully with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Big ...... Uncle, this jade pendant belongs to the uncle. ”

The man in black snorted coldly, his long finger was picked again, and the long sword Sun Jian returned to the scabbard.

The shopkeeper only felt that the figure in front of him flashed, the speed of this flash was too fast, and the cold aura forced him to close his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, where was the figure of the man in black in front of him?

On the counter, there were also the five thousand taels of silver tickets he left.

This qiē happened in the blink of an eye, so quickly that people were completely overwhelmed.

With the five thousand taels, he sighed lightly, only thinking that he had a daydream, and he didn't dare to think about this jade pendant anymore.

As the saying goes, it's not that enemies don't get together.

Murong Qiqi didn't expect that the imperial city looked so big, but in fact, it was so small, no, you could still meet enemies on the street.

With just one glance, she turned, intending to step away.

It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I'm really annoyed and don't want to waste time with these people.

However, it is obvious that some people can't see her well, and it's rare to meet her, how can they let her go?

"What a coincidence, I actually met the Seven Emperor Sisters here. The coquettish and gentle voice of a lot of men's souls came from behind her, and she didn't have to think about it to know that the Sixth Emperor Sister came from her, "The Seventh Emperor Sister wouldn't also want to see the new batch of jadeite from Cuifangzhai, right?"

Qiqi paused, looked back at her and smiled, and said lightly: "No, just walk around casually, I'm still ......"

Before the word "something" could be spoken, Chu Mingzhu beside Murong Susu was heard sneering: "Since you are here, it is better to be together, it is said that this princess does not seem to have visited Cuifangzhai with the seventh princess." ”

She raised her arrogant chin, and immediately two palace maids who didn't look very strong but were definitely not weak in martial arts came to Qiqi's side, one left and one right, and it was obvious that Princess Mingzhu didn't plan to let her go.

Qiqi was helpless, so he had to smile lightly: "Since the third princess is invited, how could I miss it?" ”

It's all out to the masters, she can't go in if she wants to, but she's afraid that she won't succeed, but seeing that she is dressed plainly and is a poor ghost, she just wants to find a chance to embarrass her, how can she not understand these boring tricks of the golden branches and jade leaves?

Murong Susu was enthusiastic, urging Qiqi to walk with them and step into Cuifangzhai in unison.

To Qiqi's surprise, there are actually two heavyweights in Cuifang Zhai, Yun Wang Ye seems to be very idle recently, and today he is accompanying Concubine Yi to the largest jewelry store in the imperial city to see the recent arrival of a new batch of jadeite.

Seeing Murong Qiqi, who was dressed like a maidservant in plain clothes and entering the door with Mingzhu and Su Su, Concubine Yi narrowed her eyes slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

Looking at the three girls who came to greet her, her eyes finally fell on Chu Mingzhu, her face was pale, and there was a little more reproach in Mandarin: "Mingzhu, you are a real golden branch and jade leaf, a noble status, and a good girl who is ice clear and jade, how can you walk with those filthy women who are not clean and morally corrupt?"
