Chapter 1 Pawnshop
There was a long queue at the door of the Ye Jiarui Treasure Pawn Shop in the capital, and everyone in the ranks held a piece of rough papyrus paper with numbers written on it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The people in line were a little impatient, standing on tiptoe and shaking their heads at the door of the pawn shop, and said impatiently, "Why hasn't it been our turn yet?" ”
The person behind wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the rising sun that was about to rise into the sky, "It's been nearly an hour." ”
"That's right, what's the situation today, I still want to redeem my jade pendant."
......
Everyone complained and complained, but no one was willing to leave.
Looking at the pawnshops in the whole capital, the most cost-effective pawnshop is the Ruibao pawnshop, the price is fair, the term is reasonable, the integrity is very high, and most of the pawned things can be redeemed. Its service objects are mainly poor people and those who live by pawning their "family funds", and the goods they accept are cotton grain, clothing, silk, jade jewelry and other supplies, and pawn gold is used for daily consumption. The three major pawnshops of Jinbao, Fuchang and Huaxia are mainly for the wealthy to mortgage valuables to help them engage in business, loans and other businesses, and the goods they accept are antiques and jade, famous calligraphy and paintings, ancient books and rare books, and the pawn money is used for investment and production.
During the first century of the Wu Dynasty, poor people with no money and no surplus food abounded, and pawnshops naturally became the 'back door of the poor'. As a result, more and more ordinary people are willing to come to Ruibao pawnshop to pawn, and there is a steady stream of customers. It was founded by Ye Zeming, a poor scholar, when he was young, and has developed for more than 30 years, and is now more than half a hundred years old.
The person hired to manage the pawnshop was a young woman who had captivated the country and the city. At first, the whole city of Beijing was not optimistic about the girl, and the future of Ruibao pawnshop was extremely worried, however, after two years of development, Ruibao pawnshop gradually developed and grew in the hands of the girl, and became one of the four major pawn shops, which could not help but surprise the visitors.
Legend has it that the girl in charge of Ruibao's pawnshop is an extremely mysterious woman, who has been seeing people with a veil for two years, and outsiders have never seen her true face in Lushan. According to its spring-like melodious voice and poetic name, the people have speculated that it has a beautiful appearance that captivates the country and the city.
There are many curious people who come to the capital at the expense of thousands of miles, just to see its beauty, but unfortunately they have all failed, just because there is a personal attendant with high martial arts skills by Leshi's side, and every greedy person who covets her appearance is beaten to the bone.
Since then, people have speculated that Innis Girl is not good-looking, and she does not dare to show her true face. But because of her profound knowledge, excellent discernment, and philanthropic qualities, people respected her and called her innis.
A man dressed in simple linen clothes said to the elderly housekeeper Zhong Chu, "I'm not satisfied with this price, you are not the shopkeeper, you don't understand the value of this piece of jade, I want Miss Le Shi to help me set the price." ”
Zhong Chu was a little embarrassed, the shopkeeper had something to go out today, and asked him to take care of the pawnshop. Looking at the topaz in his hand, the color of okra yellow was a little dull, and he said truthfully, "Guest officer, this piece of jade in your hand is worth a tael of silver at most." ”
"Steward Zhong, are you old and confused? This piece of topaz in my hand is a rare and precious variety of jade, how can it be worth only one hundred taels. At least five taels of silver. You can't be the master, I want innisia to help me set the price. ”
"This ......" Steward Zhong was a little embarrassed.
After a while, a beautiful female voice came, "Steward Zhong, give the jade to Yueqiu." ”
Steward Zhong replied to the room in the attic on the second floor, "Guest officer, wait a minute." He handed the topaz in the guest's hand to Yueqiu, who was standing aside.
Yueqiu took the topaz and walked to the attic room.
The guest followed behind Yueqiu and was stopped by the bell steward, "Guest, please stay." ”
"I'd like to negotiate a price with innisie in person."
"The girl has never seen a guest, and you will decide whether to be right or wrong when the girl has finished valuing." Steward Zhong respectfully said to death.
After a while, Yueqiu took the jade downstairs, stood in front of the guests, and said politely, "The girl said, the color of this jade is not pure enough, the stone is not fine enough, and the ornamental value is average. ”
When the guest heard this, he shouted into the attic room, "I'm afraid the girl has lost her eyes." This jade is a red high-quality topaz, precious and rare, as we all know, 'yellow' is the exclusive color of the royal family, is a symbol of royal power, how can it be worth only two taels of silver? ”
"The girl said, if this topaz was born in the royal family, then it is the starting price of gold, but the topaz in your hand is at most a yellow wax stone, not all yellow wax stones can be considered topaz, your topaz stone happens to reach the lowest level of jade, so the girl generously gave you two taels of silver, whether this piece of jade is worth the price, you have the most in your heart, right? The girl confessed, if she didn't want to accept the price, the door was there. After speaking, Yueqiu pointed to the door.
After hearing this, the guest could only give up in a huff, and walked to the counter to sign the contract as he spoke, "Hmph, two taels of silver is two taels of silver, and in a year, I will definitely redeem this jade." ”
Yueqiu nodded with a faint smile on her lips, turned around and stood at the corner of the stairs, and sighed softly.
Not long after she stood up, Yueqiu saw a man in a white brocade robe and a silk robe, holding a folding fan with the words 'Not beauties don't love' in his hand, a golden belt around his waist, and a pair of black boots on his legs. With a thick smile on his lips, he shook the fan in his hand and walked steadily into the door of the pawnshop, what a handsome and uninhibited man.
Yueqiu carefully looked at the man's facial features: long black hair was curled, heroic sword eyebrows, deep eyes were amorous and misty, the bridge of the nose hung high, the thin lips with a smile, and the evil face showed a casual playfulness.
Yueqiu couldn't help but be stunned, and her heart was beating a little bit......
