The sky in the ancient town has darkened, and the air dead wind lamps are hung in front of every shop to illuminate the front door and road. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Around the corner, a carriage waited quietly.

Inside the pawnshop, a simple counter and protective fence blocking most of the façade stand in front of you, and the counter is not half as tall as the usual store, but reaches the height of ordinary people's necks.

If you want to hand something in, you have to hold it up and put it in, and then you can't see anything outside, and people don't know if they change it, although this is rare, unless it's a black store.

Of course, the world is as black as a crow, and all pawnshops are low and high sales, so the design of the store is to be so high and suppress the customer, which is a kind of psychological war with the customer.

Zhao Wan raised her head high, and said with a hint of charity in her tone: "Look at these ancient paintings and antiques. ”

With that, he lifted the package to the counter.

The shopkeeper smiled noncommittally, he had seen a lot of all kinds of people who came to him as a pawnbroker, and it was also common for someone like this girl to come to the pawnshop with a high spirit, who would come if he was not in a hurry to lack money, no matter how he pretended, it was useless.

Reaching out to open the package, there were two painting scrolls and a fan inside, and there was also a fist-sized golden three-legged toad, wrapped in several layers of silk cloth, and the outermost was packed in a wooden box very carefully.

The corner of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched, and he said in a smooth and non-emotional tone: "Little girl, you bought it for fun, the two landscape paintings and the fan are both contemporary Yashi paintings, the painting is good, but it is not worth any silver, come to me I can give you at most five taels of silver, as for this golden toad with thin gold leaf, you should take it back and enjoy it, it's not worth anything." ”

Zhaowan didn't seem to care, but in fact, her ears were raised high, and when she heard the shopkeeper speak, she didn't know how pitiful her eyes were, and she pretended to be arrogant, which looked ridiculous.

"Ahh So little! I spent more than 100 taels to buy, you give me 5 taels, and this golden toad also said that it is real gold, I finally got cheaper, and you didn't accept the auspicious number of 66 taels, don't you know how to look at it, what about your owner to find him to come out and see, more than 100 taels of things, black shop! ”

The shopkeeper sat high on the counter, coldly watching the girl in the scheming screaming incoherently, wanting to sell the baby and then wanting to sell it at a high price, this is a pawnshop and not a vegetable market to buy vegetables, I want to exchange more silver, I'm sorry, I don't want to send it far!

"That's all, it's better to die, if you live, you can give you two taels of silver."

“...... Death when.... Although she was wronged, she knew that without these taels of silver, she would have nothing to eat tonight!

Taking the golden toad out of the door, Zhao Wan touched the small bag of silver in her hand, it was only five taels, and it cost two taels of silver for one night in the room, woo! Tomorrow's food money is not enough, so I hope I can find Satsuki tomorrow.

Sitting in the carriage, looking at the remaining two bags of "treasures", he suddenly kicked his head to the side with hatred, and he was still angry, and he threw the golden toad box in his hand to the wall of the carriage, and screamed: "Coachman, go to the inn!" ”

The coachman outside sighed helplessly and shook his head when he heard the sound, it was really a spoiled eldest lady.

The two of them went to the upper room, and asked for food and bath water, thinking that tomorrow they might be able to find the maid and have silver, anyway, they can only live in the upper room, and she is afraid that there will be fleas in the lower room, and she is afraid that there will be many noisy people and can't sleep, so the upper room must sleep.

And the coachman still sleeps in the Chase bunk, and it is too fortunate to sleep in the carriage, and he sits all day during the day, and it is best to stretch his body and lie on the bed at night.

Over there, the maid Xiaoyue arrived at the next town in the evening in an ox cart, and when she saw someone, she asked if she had seen a carriage pulling a young lady passing by, of course, to no avail.

She didn't expect to post a notice to find someone, and thought that the young lady deliberately didn't wait for her, so she didn't leave any clues for her to chase.

I also found a single room to live in for one night, thinking that I would continue to go down tomorrow and find the eldest son Bacheng to find Miss, anyway, she was born as a young lady, and died as a ghost of Miss, even if she was thrown away, she would find it back by herself.

In this way, in the era of underdeveloped communications, the two girls who had hardly been out of the house stayed where they were looking for someone, and the other thought that the young lady would not wait for her to continue to move forward, so they walked two forks, and the distance between the two was getting farther and farther.

The next day, Zhaowan went to the government of the ancient town to report the news of the maid's disappearance, and the bulletin boards on both sides of the town were pasted with the head and name of the notice to find Xiaoyue.

By the time a woman found the government two days later, and informed her that the girl in the notice had inquired about the road and had already gone out of town, Miss Zhao was already penniless, even if she knew that the money was not enough, according to her thoughts, she had saved and saved, and now she had already begun to follow the coachman to nibble on the baked cakes.

The two of them drove the carriage to the next town, and sure enough, they heard that a little girl was looking for someone the day before yesterday, and now they have left the town and continued to the next town.

Zhaowan nested in the carriage with tears streaming down her face, let the coachman pull her somewhere, handed it in to cook the cakes, and silently wept and gnawed, feeling that she had been nested in the carriage for two days, as long as a century, and felt that everyone had abandoned her!

My brother didn't come to her, my father and grandmother didn't come to her, the maid also carried the silver money to the front, and she didn't catch up, and now the coachman didn't talk to her, like a begging for food, he gave her a baked cake every day for her to gnaw, just to bully herself when she saw that she didn't have money!

"Woo!" Brother, where are you, Xiaowan is so sad...!

Just when she was nesting in the corner of the carriage, I don't know how long it had been moldy.

Suddenly, the curtain of the car was opened, and a handsome face suddenly appeared in front of me with the sunlight spilling into the dark carriage!

She squinted and got used to it for a long time before she saw the appearance of the tall and straight man who seemed to have descended from the gods.

The man's voice was low and charming: "Miss Zhao, how are you, are you okay?" ”

Zhao Wan's heart suddenly began to beat in a "bang" madness, and a feeling called love grew from the bottom of her heart, and he saved her!

"Well, I'm fine, did my brother call you, who are you?"

Chen Jiacheng looked at the lady of the Zhao family who was dressed in a cloak in the carriage, her face was full of tears, like a crazy woman, her brows wrinkled slightly, what a fool's errand, if you don't have the ability, don't sneak out of the door, make this miserable look, and think that something happened, if someone spreads it, won't this reputation be ruined!

But before he could answer, he heard the cry of the little maid Xiaoyue from behind: "Miss, Miss, I finally found you, don't you want me anymore, I'm so afraid!" ”

On the horses ridden by the two guards who caught up behind, there was also a little girl, who was the crying Satsuki.

Chen Jiacheng avoided his figure, Xiao Yue slid off the horse and rushed into the carriage like a gust of wind, hugging and crying with the young lady! (To be continued.) )
