Mu Sheng's days in the Xinglong pawnshop passed quickly, and gradually the shopkeeper Liu did not let him learn except for money and accounts, but in the second half of the second year, he had already arranged for him to study with Ding Chaofeng in the fourth cabinet. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Four cabinets "court" on the far right of the gate, in the identification of goods can only be regarded as primary, at most the identification of ordinary clothes, groceries, senior things or to the inside of the invitation, but the four cabinets most need to learn is to see the four ways, listen to the eight directions of kung fu, to be good at observing words and colors, skilled in industry codes, know the three teachings and nine streams, see people talk about people, see ghosts and talk nonsense. Learning is the experience of life, no matter who enters the door, first of all, you must take a quick look, if it looks like a bureaucrat rich, then hospitable and welcome to the first cabinet of the court; if it is a scholar or a small family, then the tone is kinder, see if the quality of the items is higher and then lead to other cabinets; if it is a poor people, the value of the items is not high, then the cabinet directly handles, the cabinet can not judge the other cabinets. And what Mu Sheng did was to follow Ding Chaofeng to learn the skills of ushering in.

Sure enough, the phrase "the world is cold and cold" is the best explanation in the pawnshop, and it took half a year for Mu Sheng to see the world in the world. Mu Sheng has seen a lot, and he has changed from shock, surprise, regret, and envy to insensitivity.

At the end of the year, there was a child who was two or three years younger than Mu Sheng, who often ran to the pawnshop, and at the beginning he took some jewelry and other soft pieces, and then slowly began to pawn fur and silk clothes, and then even cotton clothes began to pawn. Mu Sheng because of the same age as the child, the family has also pawned things because of poverty before, so he took care of him a lot, and after getting acquainted, he knew some of the situation of their family, and he was also a hard-working child, the child's surname was Su He, his ancestral home was Yunmengze in the south, and he moved to Shaliu City with his parents when he was a child, and his father traveled with the desert caravan three years ago, saying that he was going to Paro to do some business and return a year later, but who knew that there was no news after a year, and his mother was already weak and sick. This lost the source of income, his mother had to spend money to see a doctor, and Su He couldn't do anything at a young age, so he had to rely on the softness of the pawn family to live, because Su He's father was doing business with the desert caravan, so the family was quite rich, but he couldn't afford to sell it like this, and the family was basically empty in less than half a year.

Su He came to Xinglong Pawnshop again when the pawnshop was about to close at dusk today, but he didn't see anything in his hand. Su He lingered in front of the door for a long time, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and entered the pawnshop, took down a sign from his neck, and handed it to Ding Chaofeng.

"I'll be this sign. ”

Ding Chaofeng took this brand and took a look, the length of the index finger of this card, the width of three fingers, a hole at the top of the tip of the silk ribbon, just wearing the chest as a decoration, the material is like wood and like stone, knocking it has the sound of gold and iron, one side is plain and can clearly see the wood grain texture on it, one side is engraved like a symbol and a word and like a painting pattern, the four sides of the brand are smooth without any carving.

Ding Chaofeng and Mu Sheng didn't know this thing for a long time, Mu Sheng held the brand and asked one cabinet by one, until the first cabinet of the old court, the old Chaofeng glanced at the brand, and handed it to Mu Shengdao: "The decorative card made of thousands of years of wood buried in the ground and turned into stone is not worth a few dollars, this thing should be in the capital, and it will be collected, and some people may be greedy for the strange to buy it back, in our small Shaliu City, it is only rotten in the store, and it is not enough to transport it to Shangjing, and the circulation value is far less than the old clothes, so go back." ”

Mu Sheng had no choice but to hand it back to Su He, and replied in pawnshop jargon: "Your treasures are too valuable, and the small shop doesn't dare to accept them." ”

When Su He heard this, he suddenly became a little anxious: "Brother Mu, please, this brand was given to me by my father, saying that it was passed down from my ancestors, and it must have been used as money." Now my mother is seriously ill and urgently needs to take medicine, please take it for me. ”

Seeing Su He say this, Mu Sheng said helplessly: "Do you see if there are other things at home? Or you try it at another pawnshop. ”

Su He didn't have time to thank him and hurriedly left, the shopkeeper looked at the sky and saw that it was not early, and ordered to close the store, Mu Sheng hurriedly cleaned up the counter and desktop, cleaned and cleaned, and Su He came again when the shop was cleaned up and the door board was outside.

"Brother Mu. Su He shouted timidly.

Mu Sheng turned around and saw that it was Su He, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"There is really nothing left at home, and other families refuse to accept this brand, do you think you can be accommodating for me?" Su He looked at Mu Sheng with a pair of praying eyes.

"It's really not good, you also know that I'm just a small elementary school apprentice in this pawnshop, and the courtiers say that if you can't accept it, you can't accept it. ”

"That'...... Isn't that my mom going to run out of medicine tonight? Tears welled up in Su He's eyes.

Mu Sheng's heart suddenly softened when he saw Su He like this, and he couldn't help but think of the experiences of his family in the first two years.

"Well, you wait. Mu Sheng put down the door panel, ran to the inner courtyard in three or two steps, and came out with a string of money and handed it to Su He, "This is half a piece of money, you take it back and buy medicine for your mother, don't delay the condition." ”

"This ...... Thank you so much. Su He was stunned at first, then overjoyed, and bowed deeply to Mu Sheng, "Then I'll bet on you for this brand first." After speaking, Mu Sheng was not allowed to shirk it, and then he stuffed it into Mu Sheng's hand and ran away.

Mu Sheng saw that Su He ran away and couldn't catch up, so he glanced at the brand in his hand and put it in his bag. Close the door panel and close the shop.

Ding Chaofeng shook his head when he saw Mu Sheng and sighed: "You, you are just too soft-hearted. How much money do you have a month? This spring has just passed, and in the third year, the Shangdong family sent you less than two months' monthly salary, and you gave that kid half a month, and your family's conditions are not very good, what can you do!"

"Master Ding is taught. Mu Sheng bowed his head and returned.

"Well, next time remember not to be so kind, you have to learn to be hard-hearted in the pawnshop. Ding Chao gave a few words of advice and left.

Mu Sheng returned to the dormitory and took out the brand from his bag and hung it around his neck, not because he wanted to take the brand for himself, but because he was afraid that he would lose the brand and not be able to return it to him next time Su He came back. Although Su He was given half a month's salary, Mu Sheng didn't have any pity in his heart, just a little distressed, after all, it was five hundred yuan, enough for the family's grandfather and younger brother for a month's food expenses, but if you think about it, maybe you can help Su He's mother get better, and she is happy again.

Mu Sheng thought that he would return the brand to Su He next time he came back, but wait, wait, wait, and he didn't see Su He come over for a long time. When I was shopping for vegetables at the market with the kitchen guy, I accidentally heard that Su He's mother died, and Su He sold the house and buried his mother, so he didn't know where he went. Mu Sheng was also embarrassed when he heard the news, and sighed that life is impermanent.

In the third year, Mu Sheng was already able to take charge of himself and do a good job in the work of the four cabinets, and the shopkeeper Liu praised Mu Sheng for being smart and studious.

Two days later is grandpa's birthday, and Mu Sheng told the shopkeeper that he took two days off and returned to Qinghe Town to celebrate his grandfather's birthday. After the meal, several brothers and sisters routinely asked their brothers to perform jiu-jitsu for them, but Mu Sheng was a lot unfamiliar because he had been an apprentice in the pawnshop for a long time, and he was sweating after the performance, and proposed that the brothers go to the river to swim.

A few children happily fluttered and played in the river, and when they were about to go home, they quieted down and bathed quietly by the river.

"Huh, what kind of brand are you, since it's still floating in the water. Lin Cong, the second eldest of his uncle's family, asked.

"Stupid, of course this is a wooden card. Lin Ming, the third elder of his uncle's family, didn't wait for Mu Sheng's answer to reply first, and after speaking, several children laughed.

Mu Sheng didn't laugh along, and couldn't help but have a question in his mind: 'Didn't the old courtier say that this was a fossil of wood, how could the stone float?'
