After Uncle Tong left, a young and beautiful woman came to the pawnshop and put a burden on the counter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Houde was looking at the book with great interest, and he didn't raise his eyes, "Guest officer, the shopkeeper is not here, do you want to pawn something or redeem something?" If you pawn something, you can put it down and wait for the shopkeeper to come back and value it for you. If it's a ransom, the trouble will come later. ”

The woman looked at Houde, who didn't raise her eyes, and said politely, "That's how Ruibao Pawnshop entertains customers?" ”

When Houde heard this, he was afraid that offending the guests would ruin the image of Ruibao Pawnshop, so he was busy putting down the book, and he made amends with a smile on his face...... Faint...... Orchid girl! ”

Youlan glanced at Houde, who looked like a nerd, and said politely, "The shopkeeper is not here, and neither are you in charge?" ”

"Innis Girl is in ...... In! Houde stammered.

"Well, I'm in dire need of money, and I'd like to ask Innis to help me estimate the price."

"Ghost ...... Faint...... Miss Youlan, wait a minute, I'll go and inform Innis right away. After finishing speaking, Houde glanced up at Yueshi, and then quickly staggered his gaze, for fear of being caught by Youlan, and went up to the second floor to find Yueshi.

The corner of Youlan's eyes noticed Houde's behavior, and said silently in his heart, I haven't seen a nerd in the world!

After a while, Houde came down, "You...... Faint...... Miss Youlan, Innis said, upstairs please! ”

Youlan took the baggage, politely thanked her, and turned to go upstairs.

In the room on the second floor, Innis saw Youlan carrying a burden, and looked surprised, "Please take a seat." ”

Youlan sat opposite Yueshi, looking at Yueshi with a veil on her face, her eyebrows and eyes seemed familiar, and her tone was determined, "Miss Yueshi, have we met somewhere?" ”

Yueshi smiled slightly, "Miss Youlan, we have seen the chrysanthemum appreciation competition. ”

Youlan suddenly remembered, a little surprised, and shook her head in disbelief, "Ye Taozhen is actually you?" ”

Innis bowed slightly, "Miss Youlan is here to be a pawn?" ”

Youlan tightened the burden in her hand, and put the burden on the table, "Miss Yueshi, these things, let's estimate them." ”

Innis opened the baggage, looked at the famous paintings and ancient books in the baggage, and looked carefully, these are all from the famous painting master Mr. Zhao's authentic handwriting, if you don't love calligraphy and painting, how can you carefully treasure it?

It's just that...... Inseas was a little surprised, hadn't these calligraphy and paintings disappeared with the death of Mr. Zhao? How could it be in her hands?

"Mr. Zhao is everyone in the eyes of literati and ink writers, hasn't his true work disappeared? How can it be in your hands? ”

Youlan said, "Even if you have eyesight, you even know Mr. Zhao's works and authentic works." ”

"Innis is not talented, I have been copying Mr. Zhao's calligraphy and painting since I was a child, how can I not be familiar with Mr. Zhao's handwriting."

"Miss Innis's discerning and knowledgeable make Youlan admire. Since you can recognize Mr. Zhao's authentic handwriting, you must know how many people want to get his authentic handwriting! ”

"If the Youlan girl is willing to endure the pain of cutting her love, she will definitely be able to sell it for a good price, and she will not come to the pawnshop to pawn. However, the reason why you can let the girl come to the pawnshop, I think the girl doesn't want to put Mr. Zhao's true works into the hands of others, but you need money urgently, you can't have both, so you can compromise and pawn at Ruibao Pawnshop, which can be redeemed in the future, and second, it can solve your urgent needs. Innis guessed, "But ...... Pawn at the pawnshop at the risk of being underpriced! ”

Youlan looked at Innis with admiration and smiled slightly, "Miss Innis really convinces me!" Observed so meticulously, guessed so well. ”

Innis smiled without saying a word, and the next question was the price. As the owner of the pawnshop, she certainly has a bottom on the pawn in her heart, and she can get the maximum profit at the lowest price possible, which is the way of business for merchants, but the squeezed customers will definitely bargain with you!

"Innis girl, these things, ten thousand taels, should be inappropriate!" Youlan said confidently.

Yueshi's eyes fell lightly on Youlan, and she was not frightened by her amount, and said softly, "Miss Youlan, if you sell Old Mr. Zhao's authentic handiwork, it will definitely be more than this price." When you seem to forget, this is a pawnshop! ”

"I know! Someday, I'll redeem it. Youlan looked at the rare books on the table and swore an oath.

"It's hard to say! Every customer who comes to me as a pawn will say this to us, and how many people can actually redeem the pawn in the end? ”

"I don't have a choice! I will definitely redeem it! Yulan affirmed, looking at Innis with a determined gaze.

"Miss Youlan attaches more importance to Mr. Zhao's true works than I thought? Reason? If you were willing to say it? Innis looked at Orchid Road.

Youlan hesitated for a moment, a little embarrassed.

"Miss Youlan doesn't have to be embarrassed, I'm just curious!" ”

"Mr. Zhao is my grandfather! I watched it come to life with my own eyes. Youlan's voice was gentle and sad.

She is the granddaughter of Mr. Zhao? After the famous family!

"These things mean to me not only because they were painted by my grandfather, but also because they are the only mementos I can mourn my grandfather....... That's all there is left...... No matter how much money people want to buy Grandpa's original handiwork, I don't want to sell it. But now I'm really desperate......" Yulan's eyes moistened.

"Ten thousand taels? Why do you need so much money? Innis was curious.

"After my father died, the family began to fall into decay, and my mother remarried and took away the old paintings made by my grandfather and father. I still have a young and sick sister who needs to spend money to see a doctor, but she is really desperate, so after getting a sum of money by selling her grandfather's authentic works, she opened a Ming Ya Building, specializing in training famous prostitutes who only sell their art and do not sell their bodies. It has been half a year since the opening of Mingya Building, but the business situation has not been good, and now it needs a lot of money to maintain the operation......"

"If you can't run it, you can close it and not do it." Innis suggested.

"No! Mingya Building can't be closed! Youlan's voice was a little excited, "If Mingyalou is closed, where will you let my sisters go, they will either be in the middle of the road, or they will come to Mingyalou to be famous prostitutes, Mingyalou must not be closed, otherwise they can only be reduced to Qinglou women who make a living by selling their bodies cheaply." Youlan was reluctant, she was the one who pulled those sisters into Mingya Building, how could she abandon them and die without saving them?

"But you're desperate yourself." Innis reminded.

"Yes! That's why I came to the pawnshop to pawn my grandfather's calligraphy and paintings! Youlan felt sad in her heart, she lived really well, and she actually took the treasures left by her ancestors and sold them cheaply, she was really ashamed of her ancestors! (To be continued.) )
