Sister-in-law Tan's family had little money, but her husband had not been heard from since she went to the southern sea three years ago to do business with someone else.
Sister-in-law Tan has three children, two sons are studying, and a young daughter. In order to pull the three children, she had to be hired by the Su family to cook in the village on this ancestral grave, but she did not sign a deed and was not a slave of the Su family.
Su Yuzhu has been here for more than a month, and has seen Sister-in-law Tan a few times, she is a person who doesn't like to talk, has a soft temperament, never makes trouble, although the craftsmanship is not the best, the vegetarian dishes are very delicious.
Although it was difficult, Sister-in-law Tan refused to let her son drop out of school. Because she couldn't afford it, she had to let her two sons leave the government-run school and go to the school run by the Pranya Temple to study. And she usually only lives with her youngest daughter Pu Niang in this village.
When Su Yuzhu saw Pu Niang for the first time, she felt that she was very similar to her little apprentice in her previous life.
They are all young at a young age, with red faces, timid eyes looking at people, but speaking generously, which makes people feel good.
This made Su Yuzhu very willing to get close to Pu Niang, but it made Cuiliu very unhappy.
Every time she saw Pu Niang coming to Su Yuzhu's yard, Cuiliu would point at Sang and scold Huai, which made people so irritable.
Su Yuzhu smiled kindly at her and said, "I don't eat this, you be careful not to fall." I'll tell your mother later, I want to eat vegetarian buns tonight. ”
Pu Niang is young, and she grew up in this cemetery with her mother, and she doesn't know any rules very well, and when she heard Su Yuzhu give such an order, she didn't think at all, "Why didn't the eldest lady tell Cuiliu?" Even if he saw Su Yuzhu outside Zhuangzi, he wouldn't think, "Why did the eldest lady come out of Zhuangzi?" He just nodded and smiled: "Well, I'll talk to my mother." ”
Su Yuzhu smiled again, took off the hat, buckled it on her head, and said, "Go ahead."
Pu Niang hurriedly took off her hat and returned it to Su Yuzhu: "I don't need this, the eldest lady doesn't want to go to gonorrhea." With that, he jumped into the Zhuangzi.
Su Yuzhu watched her figure turn around and disappear into the continuous rain curtain, then put on her hat again, turned over her horse, and headed towards the capital.
The boxy imperial capital is divided into five places in the southeast, northwest and middle by two horizontal and two vertical avenues, and the two cities in the east and west are where merchants gather.
Nowadays, the Yong Dynasty is also considered to be politically harmonious, although there are always wars on the frontier, but the imperial capital has always been a place of peace and wealth.
Although it is a gentle drizzle today, it has added a lot of romance to this huge imperial capital, and there is a lot of excitement and wealth, and occasionally there are foreign businessmen, speaking non-standard official language, selling rare things from the "kingdoms on the edge of the sky" far away.
Such a place of abundance and treasure is really dazzling.
The emperor strictly forbade horses to run wildly, so after Su Yuzhu entered the city, he led the pony, according to the memory of his previous life, walked all the way down Canglong Street, and found the most prosperous place in the east city.
Perpetual when.
The plaque is newly made, and the words are vigorous and powerful, and they are obviously written by famous artists.
As soon as Su Yuzhu arrived at the door, a pawnshop guy greeted him, and while calling "guests are please", he took the reins and tied the horse to the horse stone at the door.
Su Yuzhu walked into the main hall, looked around, all the utensils that should be furnished are brand new, and there is a smell of lacquer, there are four high counters in the store, and there are four courtiers sitting inside, the youngest is also forty years old, but several apprentices are all young, and their eyebrows and eyes are full of cleverness.
Su Yuzhu carefully calculated the time and determined that this should be the time when Yong Xin was in the hands of Wu'an Hou Zheng Xu not long ago.
Wu Anhou and his father are old friends, strong as fire, Su Yuzhu took out the jade pendant from his sleeve and pinched it in his hand, looking forward to how Wu Anhou would be angry when he saw this jade pendant.
This matter alone is probably enough to give Su Zhen and Qiao's a headache for a while.
At this time, the guy who brought Su Yuzhu in the pawnshop had already seen that Su Yuzhu was coming to the pawnshop for the first time, so he said, "This guest, what do you want to be?" Gold, silver and jade, leather goods and satin, famous calligraphy and painting, our store all collects. ”
Su Yuzhu stood helplessly for a while-this time she was not pretending, in fact, even in her previous life, she had never entered the pawnshop-so, hearing the guy ask her, she hurriedly took off her hat and said, "A piece of jade pendant." ”
The guy looked at Su Yuzhu's dress, and estimated that she didn't have anything very good, but she was still polite, and said with a smile: "Then the young lady, please come to this counter." ”
Su Yuzhu nodded slightly, and followed behind the guy with timidity, but just after a few steps, someone walked in again, Xu was careless, so he bumped into Su Yuzhu.
Su Yuzhu avoided his body and dodged, the man turned his head and bowed slightly at Su Yuzhu, with an apologetic face on his face, and said, "I'm sorry." ”
Su Yuzhu raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.
I saw a tall, sturdy man standing in front of her, in his twenties, with an angular face and hard facial features, but his eyes were warm and apologetic, his eyes were slightly lighter than others, with a long knife around his waist and a robe.
Su Yuzhu bowed his head and saluted: "It's okay." ”
The man saluted again, and then strode to the counter, and put the things on the high counter, and the court looked at it for a while, and gave a price, and the man returned the price, and finally wrote the pawn ticket and left in front of the silver.
Before leaving, he also glanced at Su Yuzhu.
Su Yuzhu didn't care much about such passers-by, but after the person left, he also walked to the cabinet, followed the example of the person in front of him, and handed over a piece of jade pendant.
The courtier in the counter first looked at Su Yuzhu's dress, and saw that she was dressed ordinarily, but he thought it was from a small family, obviously a newcomer, so he picked up the jade pendant.
Who knew that as soon as he picked up the jade pendant, Chao Feng was a little stunned. He let out a "huh" and looked at the sunlight seriously.
The whole body is snow-white, and there are bamboo knots carved on it, which is actually a fine jade pendant.
Chao Feng put down the jade pendant and looked at Su Yuzhu again, although his temperament was outstanding, he didn't look like a person with such a good jade.
But on the contrary, Su Yuzhu is not like the Tufuzi or Liang Shangke.
Thinking about it, Chao Feng remained silent and asked, "Is this young lady alive or dead?" ”
Su Yuzhu looked at him suspiciously: "What do you mean?" ”
Sure enough, it was the first time to come, Chao Feng thought, twisted his beard and said, "Even after the young lady is rich, can you redeem it?" ”
Su Yuzhu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I want it." ”
Chao Feng said: "This jade pendant is indeed a good thing, but it can be ...... Uh, eight hundred taels. ”
Although Su Yuzhu didn't really want to be this piece of jade, he still shouted very dissatisfiedly in his heart: No business, no treachery!
According to Su Yuzhu's experience, this jade pendant for five thousand taels can be regarded as a grievance.
And her mother, Meng Shi, told her the origin of this jade pendant very early.
