Chapter VIII

The young man smiled at the thin old man at the pawnshop and said, "I put it on the counter, whether it will run away, I can't say." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But I'm holding it in my hand, you can at least be sure I'm not going to run away. ”

The thin old man smiled and said, "Really? You're not going to run anymore? ”

The young man nodded.

The thin old man stared at the bead and said, "So, you really don't know where it came from?" ”

The young man said, "I'm about to ask the shopkeeper for advice!" ”

The thin old man said, "This bead was originally carried by a son. Heaven and earth, there is no second copy. ”

The young man said, "Oh? ”

The thin old man said, "But this son disappeared not long ago. ”

The young man said, "Oh. ”

The thin old man said, "Now you understand, right?" ”

The young man said, "Understand what? ”

The thin old man smiled coldly, as if he was too lazy to go down with him.

The young man suddenly said, "But I know very well that if your hand goes down any longer, I won't have to make a bid." You don't have to do this job. ”

The thin old man was stretching out his hand under the counter, but he stopped and asked the young man, "What do you mean?" ”

The young man said, "Why don't you ask me what price I offer?" ”

The thin old man was silent and asked, "How much do you have?" ”

The young man raised his hand and slapped his face.

The thin old man said, "Fifty taels? ”

The young man snorted and said, "Old man, you don't know the goods, I know the goods, why are you?" Do you want to be blinded, is this bead only worth fifty taels? ”

The thin old man said, "How much is that, five hundred taels?" ”

The young man laughed: "I am sincere, Your Excellency is sincerely joking!" Come on! I don't have time to waste that much. Your Excellency doesn't want it, forget it. Have their own knowledge. "Lift your leg and go out.

"Slow down, slow down!" The thin old man was so anxious that he floated out of the counter and said, "Don't worry, young master! What does the young master mean? Besides, understand and teach. ”

The young man nodded and sighed: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place." As for this? ”

The thin old man's face turned red and said, "The young master is making fun of me again." What do you say about this bead, now the old man is sincerely asking the young master for advice. ”

"Okay," said the young man lightly, "I want fifty thousand taels." ”

The thin old man's eyes widened and said, "Fifty thousand taels of silver?" ”

"Fifty thousand taels of silver?" The young man pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "Did I say it, you really haven't seen the world, hear clearly, I want 50,000 taels of gold." "What a big appetite!

The thin old man's face changed, he gasped, and said, "Fifty thousand taels of gold, I just sell the house and land, and even this pawnshop and people are not enough for you......"

The young man smiled indifferently and said: "Old man, you are too polite, who doesn't know that your owner is second to none, rich and rivals the country's rich man, 50,000 taels of gold is nothing, but it is just a drop in the bucket, I still have the old saying, whether you can collect it or not, it is in your ......"

The thin old man's eyes narrowed, and he said, "So, did you come here after inquiring clearly?" ”

The young man laughed, "No, I inquired about it from the hand you reached under the counter. ”

The thin old man's old face turned red again: "The young master is here to make fun of him again." ”

The young man shook his head and said, "Nonsense! Am I making fun of me? If I want to be a joke, I enter the house with a small signboard and a small font, and ask him to sell his house and land, and it is not enough to bet his wife and children. Then he'll have to put together a bet on me. Isn't it funnier to watch this excitement, don't you say? ”

The thin old man laughed dryly: "Young master is interesting. I'll just say it! Your price, not only the beads, but also the person behind the beads. ”

The young man nodded: "I also know that this incident has alarmed the government." The government has laid out the lines. When you put your hand down, you can call someone. Then, this bead can be finished for you—you have to send it back to the Hai family. The person behind the beads, you don't want it anymore. ”

It turns out that the force behind this pawnshop is the Liu family. He is an enemy of the Hai family. The young man is going to sell Haiming to the Liu family!

The thin old man said, "I can't be the master of this matter, I have to follow up." ”

The young man said, "Yes." He slapped the mussel shell beads on the counter refreshingly, "I'll take this one as a token for you." Wrote back to tell me. ”

The thin old man said uneasily: "I can find you when I turn around, right?" ”

The young man laughed and said, "Don't worry! Afraid that I won't be able to run away? Where will I go with the beads in your hands, go and move the gold, preferably in whole pieces and whole boxes. ”

The thin old man said, "I'm afraid you'll have to hire a big car." "The head shrinks down, and the man is gone.

The young man smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, let alone 50,000 taels, even 500,000 taels, I can still carry it." With that, he staggered out of the pawnshop door.

After going back, Chenfeng asked, "Is it going well?" ”

Manshu had already stripped his disguise and said, "That's it! Exactly as planned. They didn't report to the police. And when he turned around, he gave us gold. What about you? What do you think? ”

Later that day, the sun in Chang'an City shifted to the west. It's summer, and even at dusk, it's always hot, so if you want to cool off, you'll have to wait until midnight at the earliest.

Although it gets dark late in the summer, there are several places in Chang'an City that have already been lit up.

The sky was full of sunshine sprinkled on the ground, and the earth was golden, and the yellow was a little red.

Next to the "South Street" Confucian Temple, there is a big mansion, which looks very magnificent, and you can know that it is a big mansion at a glance.

Unbelief? And voila! The two men at the station gate wore a white robe, snow-white, and the white robe was made of silk, and it was also the silk spit out by the ice silkworm, woven into silk!

The people standing at the gate are all wearing ice silkworm silk, and its owner can be imagined.

A person came in front of the door, dressed quite magnificently, wearing a white silk robe, holding a jade bone gold fan in his hand, shaking gently, more than twenty years old, the person looks handsome and free, and a station there is really like a jade tree in the wind, rich and elegant, and there is no other thing in the world.

The others had just arrived near the stone steps in front of the door, and the gatekeeper had already paid attention. He drew a golden fan with jade bones and said to the two, "Please." ”

The two gatekeepers also hurriedly followed him: "Please." One of them came down to speak to him.

The young man with the jade fan raised his hand, took out a big red greeting note from his sleeve, handed it forward, and said, "Please pass it in." ”

The six words of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the worship post: "The white-clothed guests of the Central Plains worship." ”

The man in white was stunned: "Your surname?" ”

The white-clothed guest pointed to the prayer post and said, "It's right here." ”

The man in white lowered his head and said, "There is no name written on this prayer post?" ”

"Yes." The white-clothed guest said: "My surname is white, so I am called 'white-clothed guest'." ”

The man in white glanced at the man in white suspiciously, and said, "You want to see our envoy?" ”

The white-clothed guest said: "Are you from 'Liaodong'?" ”

The man in white said, "Not bad." ”

The white-clothed guest said: "This is the 'Chang'an' hotel of the 'God of Wealth Ancestral Family', isn't it?" ”

The man in white said, "Yes! ”

The white-clothed guest said: "Then I didn't find the wrong place, I will hand over my worship post, I want to see the messenger from 'Liaodong' and 'Chrysanthemum Island'." ”

The white-clothed man's face changed, and he said, "Do you know that we are from 'Liaodong' and 'Chrysanthemum Island'? ”

The white-clothed guest said: "In the whole world, only people from 'Liaodong' and 'Chrysanthemum Island' wear white ......."

The man in white said, "Don't you also wear white?" ”

The white-clothed guest shook his head and said: "My white is different from the white of the people of "Liaodong" and "Chrysanthemum Island", my white is a placket, and the white of the "Liaodong" and "Chrysanthemum Island" people is a placket, and my white is a cloth button, and the white of the people of "Liaodong" and "Chrysanthemum Island" is a silver button......"

No, the two men in white at the gate of this station were wearing white robes, and the buttons were made of silver.

The man in white widened his eyes and said, "What do you want to see our messenger?" ”

The white-clothed guest said: "There is nothing I can't say about my intention, I have come to negotiate a deal with your envoy...... but he doesn't seem to be a trader.

The man in white smiled and said, "Our envoys have come to Chang'an, not to do business. ”

"I know." The white-clothed guest nodded slightly and said, "It's just that if this deal I brought is completed, it will not only be of great benefit to 'Chrysanthemum Island', but even to your envoys, and even everyone who comes to Chang'an this time." Let's put it this way, it's a big achievement, you know? ”

The man in white looked at the white-clothed guest and was surprised: "What kind of business has such great benefits?" ”

"I'm sorry." The white-clothed guest smiled and said: "This will have to wait until I see your envoy to say, it is about 'Chrysanthemum Island', and it is also about everyone who comes to Chang'an this time, I think you should hand this greeting post inside." ”

The man in white had a difficult look on his face and said, "As far as I know, our envoy came to Chang'an this time, and he didn't see any outsiders......

The white-clothed guest said: "It doesn't matter, please drive me and hand it in, as for whether you can see it or not, it is still in your messenger, okay?" ”

The man in white hesitated for a moment and said, "You wait." He turned and walked up the stone steps into the gate.

The white-clothed guest smiled.

After a while, the man in white hurried out of the gate, respected, and said again: "Please come with the little one." He turned around and entered the door again.

The white-clothed guest smiled slightly, climbed the stone steps and followed the white-clothed man into the gate.

A big courtyard, divided into the front and back yards, the front yard hospitality, the backyard residence, the front yard is full of flowers and trees, the backyard is full of trees, the occasional wind passes, you can see the lush forest among the wolf teeth peck, the eaves flow Dan.

The white-clothed guest sighed while watching: "This ancestor deserves the title of the God of Wealth, this hotel alone is not in the prince's house, and the rest can be imagined." ”

The man in white listened with a smile on his face.

After walking a short distance, there was an old man in white standing in front of him, this old man in white was about fifty years old, thin and thin, but his face was full of shrewdness, and he knew that he was a person who belonged to the category of think tanks.

Sure enough, the white-clothed guest stepped forward, clenched his fists and said, "Could it be the messenger of 'Chrysanthemum Island'?" ”

The old man in white bowed his hand, shook his head and said, "Your Excellency has recognized the wrong person, the old man is so great and the old man is just a staff member under the envoy's seat." He turned his eyes to the man in white and said, "This is the guest surnamed Bai who handed over the post to see the messenger?" ”

The man in white should be in arrears, and his expression was quite respectful.

The old man in white waved his hand and said, "You go, it's none of your business." ”

The man in white agreed, bowed and retreated.

The old man in white turned his eyes to look at the white-clothed guest, and a rare smile appeared on the old face: "Your Excellency's surname is Bai, and your name is the word Yike?" ”

The white-clothed guest nodded with a smile and said, "Exactly." ”

The old man in white said: "Your Excellency's three-character name must be a pseudonym, right?" ”

The white-clothed guest said with a smile: "The old gentleman is worthy of being a think tank, this time the envoy came to Chang'an, and the old gentleman was by his side, no matter how big or small, he would definitely not suffer." ”

The old man in white didn't seem interested in this kind of flattery, and said with a slight smile: "If the old man heard correctly, Your Excellency is here for the ancestral family?" ”

The white-clothed guest said: "That's true. ”

The old man in white smiled indifferently, raised his hand and said, "The messenger is now waiting in the hall, Your Excellency, please come with the old man." "Turn around and go.

The white-clothed guest cast a deep glance at the white-clothed old man, and stepped forward to follow.

The hospitality hall of this hotel is very magnificent, the red felt is paved on the ground, the eight treasure glass lamps are hung high, the two walls are hung with famous calligraphy and paintings, the dazzling array is beautiful.

On the main seat in the living room, there sat an old man in white with a short and fat figure and a ruddy face. This old man is about sixty years old, his appearance is very peculiar, with a round face, long eyebrows and bald eyes, he looks graceful, and has a natural and intimidating bearing. In addition to the ruddy face, the skin in other places is tender and white, which is better than the fine skin and tender flesh of the daughters' families. Especially the pair of chubby hands, which are surprisingly white, not even a little blood, connoisseurs can see at a glance that this person has a special kind of kung fu in the palm of his hand. The old man in white stepped forward to salute: "Envoy, the guest surnamed Bai has arrived." The white-clothed guest raised his hand and arched his hand, and said, "The white-clothed guest in the Central Plains has seen the messenger. The bald and fat old man didn't know whether he was arrogant or restrained, so he only owed a debt, and said indifferently: "Your Excellency, please take a seat." ”

The white-clothed guest sat down in the guest seat, and the bald and fat old man raised his hand to the white-clothed old man again. The old man in white bowed and sat down. Sitting down, the old man in white leaned over and said, "Envoy, this guest said that he came for the ancestral family." ”

The bald and fat old man nodded slightly and said, "Nothing to do is not to go to the Three Treasures Palace!" I am afraid that the cultivation of the distinguished guest will not lose compared with the top ten generals. The old man in white said, "This subordinate didn't see it. ”

The bald and fat old man said: "It is this guest who is deliberately introverted. Turning his eyes to look at the white-clothed guest, he said with a smile: "I'm right, Your Excellency?" ”

The white-clothed guest smiled and said, "I don't want to put my beak." ”

The bald and fat old man glanced at the white-clothed guest, and his words changed suddenly, "Where is Your Excellency from?" The white-clothed guest pointed down with a fan and said, "Chang'an." ”

The bald fat old man said "oh": "It turns out that Your Excellency is a local person, when did such a person appear on the ground here?" ”

The white-clothed guest asked with a smile: "Is the envoy familiar with the ground of 'Chang'an'?" The old man in white coughed lightly. (To be continued.) )
