Chapter 20: Notes on South Street (3)

"Many people have seen this jade bracelet back then, and my grandmother said that I was born very similar to my grandfather, and if I pawned it, it would inevitably lead people to guess about my background, so I sent you. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"But after all, we sell this jade bracelet for money, you go to that place and find a shop to sell it casually, it's strange that others don't cheat you. Lian Jing glanced at him humbly and explained patiently.

"It's not the master, you didn't make it clear?" Lian Sheng muttered quietly.

“…… Let me tell you everything, but I might as well do it myself. Lian Jingqian glanced at him.

After all, Lian Sheng was a little weak because he almost lost something at the family heirloom level, and he didn't talk back anymore. But then he thought of something, and said with a smile: "But young master, did you say that the little girl is really from the Treasure Pavilion?"

Before he could speak, Lian Sheng said to himself: "The little one doesn't look like it, that girl looks very much like the person in the picture of the lady hanging in the second master's study......"

“…… You mean to say that she looks like a lady of everyone, right?" said Lian Jingqian.

He also didn't think that the woman was a person who was out and about doing business, but she knew that well about the Treasure Pavilion.

Ordinary people only know that the Treasure Pavilion is the largest silver building in the capital, and the things inside are first-class treasures, and only the rich can afford to buy them.

But after he went in to take a look, he found a few things that the first emperor had given to the Lian family. In those days, even the family had an accident, and the family property was full of the treasury, not to mention the things that had been put into the treasury, but it was impossible for the things to appear in the people.

In this way, there is only one possibility, this Treasure Pavilion, which is related to the royal family.

That's why he was so surprised when he heard those words.

"Boss Ma still has to be forgiving and forgiving," the woman smiled decently, "You were able to open a shop on South Street at that time, but don't forget who you were blessed, but the shopkeeper of Fang Da has never seen such a method." ”

"Besides," she glanced hastily into the store, her face sneering, "if a small shop like yours could afford this jade bracelet worth a few thousand taels, you wouldn't be able to shrink into such a small storefront to do business." ”

Boss Ma was already frightened when he heard the previous sentence, and asked in a trembling voice, "How do you know about the Treasure Pavilion?"

"I'm working in there, how can I not know?" she smiled faintly, her face calm.

The boss of the horse believed eight points, and he found a reason in time, and the matter was solved.

It's just that the girl can't let him see through, he doesn't believe that she is a person in the Treasure Pavilion, but she is so clear about the relationship between the Treasure Pavilion and the silver building outside, and she can see the value of his jade bracelet at a glance, which is really extraordinary.

Could it be that she is a relative of the treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion? He speculated wildly, without a clue, and without thinking about it anymore, he took Lian Sheng to do their own business.

On the other end, Yiying watched them leave and smiled slightly, he owed him a lot of favors in his previous life, and he was in a good mood to be able to help this time.

Turning his head, he saw that the Qin clan was still standing not far away waiting for her, his eyes were worried, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take her hand and explain this matter clearly.

Of course, I can't say anything about the Treasure Pavilion.

"This is also a good fate," Qin Shi was also very happy to hear it, and said: "Those two people are afraid that they are outsiders, and the accent doesn't sound like a Beijing accent." ”

Yiying nodded. Now I can really be regarded as an outsider.

Lian Jingqian fled from Beijing with his grandmother because of the Jingning coup when he was a child, and he has been incognito for many years. According to the memory of the previous life, the days are counted, and now they have just entered Beijing, and they have not yet entered the Changxin Marquis Mansion, this jade bracelet is supposed to be for the daily life of the grandmother who also came to the capital together.

In order to deter Boss Nama, the first thought in her heart was to move out of the treasure pavilion, the leading silver building in this South Street and even in the capital.

However, the lies she told about the Treasure Pavilion were not all lies. When the Treasure Pavilion was originally settled, it was supposed to drive away all these small silver buildings that were not in the stream, but the South Street was prosperous, and the shopkeepers were willing to lose this place to support their families and exchange it for some fine silver?

After several negotiations, a rule was set that all the silver buildings on South Street had to contribute 10% of their income to the Treasure Pavilion every month, and they had to abide by some of the principled rules of the Treasure Pavilion, which was one of the rules that did not oppress guests of any status under any pretext, which was personally set by the treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion.

In short, the small silver buildings on South Street are under the command of the Treasure Cabinet and are paid monthly offerings, and in return, the Treasure Pavilion will take care of the security of the shops and protect them from bandits.

The layman generally only knows about their affiliation, and does not know anything about these rules.

Over the years, the Treasure Pavilion has become more and more prosperous, and the shopkeeper of Fang Da has gradually become less in charge, and those rules have gradually been forgotten. It was the blue sky and the white sun, but the boss of the horse dared to take it by force on the street.

At that time, more than a dozen silver buildings that "entered the cabinet" together have been unable to cover their income and expenditure in recent years, and they have closed their doors, and the remaining few are ripe and can no longer be cooked, so when the boss of Nama heard a strange woman talk about the old rules, he knew that it was not the rest of the silver buildings, so he was a little suspicious that it was someone from the Treasure Pavilion.

He knew in his heart that whenever the shopkeeper Fang Da, who couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, heard the slightest rumble, he would have to walk around without eating.

So when Yiying personally admitted that he was a person from the Treasure Pavilion, he immediately turned pale with fright.

The treaty made by the Treasure Pavilion back then, although it seemed to be a win-win cooperation, actually carried the meaning of eight points of domineering, and Yiying's understanding of it was not a coincidence, it was all because this Treasure Pavilion was originally the dowry that the eldest princess Min Yuan secretly promised to her when she got married. Backed by the royal family, where is the reason not to prosper?

She loved jade in her previous life, and after recognizing her ancestors and returning to her ancestors, she often came to this treasure pavilion to play with jade, and she was also very familiar with the shopkeeper Fang, and the shopkeeper would often tell her some old things about the treasure pavilion, these rules, she also listened to it by the way. I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Jumbo Court ...... She secretly recited the name in her heart, and clenched the purse around her waist tightly in her hand: I want to borrow strength from you again today.

"Mother, let's go to the Treasure Pavilion to have a look, I've never been to it before. Yi Ying said to her mother with a grin.

"Treasure Pavilion?" Qin was a little embarrassed, "It's full of valuable things, how can people like us afford it?"

The Qin family has always been diligent and thrifty, and they will not spend more money than they should spend, let alone go to this extremely luxurious place of Huatianbao.

"No, my daughter just wants to see it. A few days ago, my daughter borrowed a few books from the young lady's study for jade appreciation, and I thought it was quite interesting. Yi Ying looked at the Qin clan with some expectation.

"Okay, okay, just look at it, but don't learn from that three-year-old boy crying and shouting to beg me. Qin half-jokingly.

"Uh-huh. Yi Ying nodded hurriedly.

The mother and daughter went to the other side of South Street.
