Chapter 7: The Legendary Pearl of the Night
Oh~~~~ Still a flag man. However, the old man re-examined the little girl's dress, and it was really shabby enough.
"What for silver? Take a look. "The old man has a correct attitude, after all, when the banner people entered the customs back then, those big-headed soldiers looted a lot of good things, even if they were down, those who pressed the bottom of the box would not be bad.
"That's it...... That's it, Amma asked me to be the ...... To die. Mingzhu cautiously stepped forward, stood on tiptoe and handed the hairpin through the high counter window.
Well, it seems that there are still men in the family. I can't slaughter it anymore. The old man took the hairpin with a little regret, drooped his eyelids and swept it, and his small eyes instantly widened the boss.
Good...... Good exquisite workmanship, there is no trace at the interface, the color and shape of this pearl are superb, put in the dark, there is a faint blue light, is this the legendary night pearl?
The old man raised his buttocks and looked at the trembling little girl standing in front of the counter. I was shocked. I thought it was a small shrimp, but who would have thought that a big fish would come. This object, although I still can't figure out its origin. But just by style, color. It's not a mortal thing.
Wait for a moment to calm down again. The old man turned out of the counter, instructed Xiao Er to serve tea, and led Mingzhu to sit at the table next to him.
"Come, have a snack. Which flag is the little girl? The old man smiled, and his cloudy eyes flashed with a fine light.
"My Ama said that I can't say it, grandpa, you can quickly exchange it for silver for me, my Ama is still waiting for me at home." The old man asked in Manchu, and Mingzhu naturally replied in Manchu, this is a treasure left by the original owner. Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese are all trilingual. But Mingzhu was still a little surprised. I picked it for a long time, and I actually picked it up in a tiger's den in Longtan.
Although Mingzhu didn't have much contact, but with a move in her brain, she was still able to figure it out, I'm afraid that this pawnshop is the owner's industry, it looks dilapidated, but there is something inside. is not visible, not only can spy on intelligence, but also help the master launder money.
Sighing in her heart, Mingzhu felt that she was unlucky, and she didn't know how much energy it would take to shake off the little tail that was trailing for a while.
"Grandpa, Ama said, you can't say that you are a flag person, you are good at your old business, just hurry up and help me exchange it for silver, Eniang is still waiting for the silver to grab the medicine." The little girl was anxious and tearful.
"Are you very sick?" The old man asked.
"E-niang is giving birth to a little brother, but she keeps screaming in pain, Ama said that she was going to buy ginseng, and it took a lot of money to ask me to come out as a hairpin, Ama is still waiting in the pharmacy, can you hurry up." Hurry up~~~~ I don't have any information on me that you need, so hurry up and change it for money for my mother.
"Where did you get this hairpin?" I want to ask if I am coming from the right way.
"This is from my grandmother to Eniang, and it is an heirloom of my family. If it weren't for Eniang's illness, Ama wouldn't have been willing to take it at all. Grandpa, if you don't want it, give it back to me, and I'll go find someone else. The little girl jumped to her feet in a hurry, and the stool couldn't sit steadily.
The old man hurriedly reassured, "Don't worry, don't worry, child, I can only give you two hundred taels of silver for your hairpin, it's not too much, after all, no matter how good the workmanship is, it's not a silver hairpin." ”
"Grandpa, Ama said, this is inlaid with the best East Pearl, and it will glow at night, how can it be only two hundred taels? Ama said that it would cost 500 taels to be paid, but we are dead, and you can buy 1,000 taels as soon as you change hands. Mingzhu was anxious and waited for the big eyes to shout. The face was full of confidence.
"Five hundred taels is too high, besides, I think this Dongzhu is a bit mysterious, so let's do it, for the sake of your family's eagerness to use the money, I will add another hundred taels, and it will really not work if it is more." The old man shook his head with a nonchalant face, his face full of disgust.
"No, no, no, Ama said to ask for five hundred taels" Mingzhu covered her eyes and cried, and large tears fell down the gap between her fingers and dripped on the table.
The old man couldn't bear to see it, and reflected a little in his heart, whether he was in too much of a hurry. The hairpin is indeed a good Dingxi, and it is transferred to the master's hands, and the benefits are not one or two points, plus, Prince Yu's body is not good for a while, everyone is preparing plain clothes in advance, so as not to suddenly come to the news, and the response is not timely, this hairpin should allow the master to show his face in front of a group of people.
"That's it! Okay, little girl, your personality is so stubborn, I don't want to think that your mother is still spinning around the ghost door, okay five hundred taels is five hundred taels, you wait, I'll get you money. The old man shook his head and walked in, thinking in his heart, anyway, he didn't want to send someone to follow the little girl in the future, and it would be clear when the time came. The point is that things are really good.
Mingzhu burst into tears and laughed, and under the cover of his clothes, he stuffed four silver tickets of one hundred and one hundred silver and ninety taels of silver into the space, and put the remaining ten taels of broken silver into his purse, and shook it at the old man's body. Turned around and ran out.
The old man looked at him, and a thin man followed him out.
The old man smiled and hummed a little song, and went to the storeroom to find a plain box to put in. I was thinking about sending it to my master for a while, when I heard a joke coming from the door.
"Yo! You old thing so coke. If you encounter any happy things, it is better to listen to them, and let the master follow suit. A clear male voice came from the doorway, accompanied by a tall figure.
"Master, master, it's really time for you to come, the slave has met a treasure today, and I'm going to send it to you." The old man was upset, and approached the man with a sense of neatness that did not match his age. Attentively leaned on the chair and served tea and snacks.
"What can make you such an old thing so improper, use it to open your eyes." The man looked at the folds on the old guy's face, and the man became interested.
"Thirteenth Master, don't laugh at the little one, come and see, although this thing is a little mysterious, it is a fixed thing." As he spoke, the old man opened the box with a smug face. Reveal the hairpin lying inside.
The Thirteenth Master raised his eyebrows? Reaching out and shaking it, the clean and powerful fingers reflected the elegant hairpin, which looked quite tempting. The tassels swayed, reflecting the halo of light coming in from outside the door, and the huge East Pearl on it had a sense of tranquility and indifference, and even made people perceive a trace of wealth and prosperity, and some were just indifferent and tranquil sense of birth.
"That's really good. Little old man, where did this thing come from? It cost you a lot of money, right? The thirteenth master shook the hairpin in a good mood, watching the tassel shake out a beautiful arc, but he thought in his heart, the fourth brother has been quite fond of the side Fujin recently, and sent it to the fourth brother, the fourth brother helped him so much last time, and he was worried and didn't know how to thank him.
But wouldn't this be too light?
"Not much, the kid lion opened his mouth widely, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he took five thousand taels, and finally the second child won two thousand taels. I was thinking about sending you to the house. This bead is really mysterious, and it will shine, I'm afraid it will be the same as the legendary night pearl. "What the old man said was called a smugness. The complacent appearance is particularly annoying. As soon as the mouth is closed, it will net 1,500 taels of snowflake silver.
"Roll the edges! Where do you get so many night pearls? Huang Amana has one, which is half the size of this one, and with this good thing, can it still fall into your hands? "The Thirteenth Master doesn't believe it, Night Pearl, how can it be so easy to come. As he spoke, he closed his hands together and looked in through the gap in his palms. But I was shocked by the faint pale green luster.
True...... True...... Is it really the pearl of the night?
The thirteenth master was dumbfounded, now, this hairpin is a little hot.
"Tell me, what's going on?" The thirteenth master's eyes were misty, looking into the distance, and he asked lightly on his mouth, but his heart turned a thousand times.
Mingzhu really doesn't know about this thing, how did she know that modern plastic products like to put some fluorescent agents, especially jewelry. She just thought that this was an ordinary silver hairpin, at most it was a novel style and exquisite workmanship. As for the so-called Dongzhu, hehe~~~ Mingzhu honestly admitted that she only saw in the TV series and in it that Dongzhu in the Qing Dynasty was the most noble. Although I also studied carefully later, the jewelry style of the Qing Dynasty also found that Dongzhu could only be worn by people with status. That's just nonsense.
Turn left...... Turn right......
Mingzhu is like a slippery loach, burrowing through the crowd. When I got to the bottom of the overpass, I was relieved.
