Chapter 50: Thirty taels

On the second day, Yongxin walked to Yuanli Town, followed by a small tail.

It was not so easy to go out this time, and it was not easy to get rid of it after grinding with Jin Jiang's for a long time, and Jin Yun suddenly woke up on the way, it turned out that he could say so much.

From the beginning of the silence, to now I don't want to say it in my heart, and my mouth immediately opens.

She walked in front, stretched out her hand and patted her mouth, why couldn't she control her mouth?

This way is not boring, even if the surrounding environment is used to it, Jin Yun has a trace of excitement in her heart.

I didn't wait long to enter the town today, and I easily entered the town after a simple investigation.

Yongxin first came to a jewelry store called Linglong Pavilion pΓΉ, this store is not opened in the center of the traffic of people, nor is it a wealthy area, but on a small street with a large flow of people, and the reason why this store is remembered by Yongxin is because the Linglong Pavilion store pΓΉ is decorated with an atmospheric atmosphere, although there are many boutiques in it, there are also affordable jewelry that ordinary people can afford.

He was lucky enough to go in once, but not to spend.

"Two, please." As soon as he entered the Linglong Pavilion, the shopkeeper stepped forward to entertain, and he didn't see the two people who came in dressed cheaply and mocked, but led the guests to the side room, although the jewelry sold in it was exquisite but the price was not high.

Jin Yun stepped forward, the counter was piled very high, for a nine-square grid, each grid was placed with different ornaments, looking very fine but not exquisite, and the style was not new.

"Girl, do you fancy this silver hairpin?" Seeing Jin Yun's gaze stop, the shopkeeper neatly took it down from the counter and said, "You take a look, the hairpin head is a winter plum carved by the master, and you can see the stamens on it." ”

"How much silver is this hairpin?" Jin Yun asked, the hairpin in his hand is not much different from the style brought by Yongxin, although the workmanship is rougher, but compared with the two, everyone can see the difference.

"Three, two, fifty, look at the girl's kindness, if you want, the little one will put two head flowers for you, you can choose." The shopkeeper came as soon as he opened his mouth, but with years of experience, he didn't see the meaning of the customer's desire to buy.

It's just that even so, he didn't lose his enthusiasm and still made a courteous introduction.

"We want to sell some hairpins." Jin Yun spoke, but the hairpin in his hand was not handed back.

The shopkeeper was stunned, as if he had something unspeakable, and before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the person who had been watching him next to him.

He said, "Xiao Huang, you go, I'll receive you here." ”

"Brother Li." The shopkeeper surnamed Huang couldn't bear it, but after looking at Brother Li's unkind expression, he still shook his head and left.

Brother Li was a lean middle-aged man with two small beards on his long face and a pair of eyes looking at them with a smile. He said: "Two, under Li Mao, what jewelry do you want to sell?" If it's just a normal commodity, I can show you the way. There is a pawnshop on the street, and the children are not bullied. ”

Stepping into the shop, Yongxin was inevitably restrained, he shook his hand and smiled stiffly and said, "No, no, we don't want to be dead." ”

As he spoke, he took it out of his arms, and the silver-plated hairpin was wrapped in a handkerchief very tightly, and Yongxin put it on the counter in the store and opened it carefully. But he didn't want to, as soon as he opened it, he was pressed by Li Mao with his hand, he held down Yongxin's hand, and said, "Little brother, there are many people here, let's go into the back room to talk." ”

After speaking, he led the way forward, making Yongxin muddy with water, and he couldn't figure out what he meant. Looking at Li Mao's behavior, it seems that he likes what he took out, but now he is the first to leave, as if it doesn't matter if they follow or not.

Coming into the inner room, Yongxin and the two of them have no place to put their eyes, no more than the outside, the inner room is simply magnificent. Even the embroidered paintings hanging on the wall, Yongxin feels that they are embroidered with gold thread, which is extremely dazzling and makes people unable to take their eyes off.

"You two, please be seated." Li Mao cut a pot of tea, the teapot leaned down slightly, and the fragrant tea flowed down, steaming with haze.

"I don't know what to call my little brother yet?"

"My surname is Jin, Jin Yongxin." Yongxin replied, and then asked, "Brother Li, why don't you take a look at what we brought first?" ”

Li Mao took a sip of tea, shook his head and shook his ears for a while, he raised his hand and waved: "Don't worry, look at the little brother's face, I'm afraid it's not from the town." ”

"My home is in a nearby village." Yongxin nodded, but there were doubts in his heart, and he didn't say which village it was.

Li Mao chuckled twice, as if seeing his hesitation, and after putting down the teacup, he took the initiative to open the handkerchief wrapped in the hairpin.

No one noticed that his hands trembled, but his face was still faint, and the smile on his lips did not change at all.

He picked one up, looked at it carefully, shook his head lightly, and put it down: "The weight is wrong, it's not pure silver." The workmanship is also a few points worse. ”

Yongxin hurriedly said: "Brother Li, take a closer look, the color is much brighter than the outside." ”

"Huh." Li Mao patted him on the shoulder twice, and said with a smile: "Little brother is still less knowledgeable, there are a lot of them in our store, and they are not necessarily very good." ”

Yongxin was disappointed to hear it, and he really took his words seriously.

Jin Yun next to him interjected at this time: "Our peasant family has little knowledge, and we have seen hairpins outside for thirty or fifty wen." ”

Li Mao was just about to nod yes, but the smile on his face froze.

Yongxin clapped his hands even more, and suddenly realized that he had seen little, but what he had never seen were some exquisite and expensive jewelry, and he didn't plan to sell the silver-plated hairpin for a very high price, and it was a big profit to be able to exceed thirty taels and fifty wen.

"Brother Li, if you accept it, you will make a price. If it doesn't work, I'll ask somewhere else. Yongxin didn't want to go on, although Brother Li felt very kind, he always felt uncomfortable.

Li Mao put his hand on the handkerchief and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, little brother." I'm interested, but you also have to tell me where the hairpin came from, and I don't dare to accept things from unknown sources. ”

Yongxin shook his hand and explained: "Brother Li, don't worry, there is nothing unknown from unknown sources, it is all made by our family." ”

"Oh?" Li Mao half-raised his eyebrows, the knuckles of his fingers on the table were raised, and a pair of shrewd eyes looked at the two people opposite him carefully.

A very ordinary peasant family, wearing white-washed clothes, looking carefully at the hidden places and traces of sewing, both of them have coarse calluses in their palms, and they are people who live all year round.

There was a sudden silence in the room, and I don't know how long it took, but the heat from the teacup slowly dissipated.

Waiting is grinding, Yongxin's rubbing hands gradually sweated, he didn't dare to ask, he just thought that Li Mao was still thinking about how to bid in his heart.

But he didn't want to, Li Mao's words, he jumped out of the chair in shock, opened his mouth stupidly, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Thirty taels!"
