Everyone followed the sound and looked, only to see three or four people coming, the first one was short and fat, round and round with a pair of small eyes, this person was a butterfly. The latter two are dark incense and drunken spring. Gege said in his heart, this is strange, why didn't Hongcui, who has always loved to be lively, not come? Is it possible to be sick at home?

While they were thinking, a few of them had arrived at the door. Random Butterfly turned over and dismounted, and didn't have time to salute Gege, and hurriedly said: "Gege, it's not good, it's not good, Hongcui has been arrested." Randie went to Shuntianfu a few times, but she didn't see her. Gege quickly went back with the butterfly, but he was afraid that Hongcui would have to suffer in the past few days. ”

Although Gege knew that there must be a reason why Hongcui didn't come, he didn't expect such a thing, and he was really a little surprised in his heart, and asked, "Why was Hongcui arrested by Shuntianfu?" ”

Dark Xiang and Drunken Spring arrived later, and Dark Xiang stepped forward and said, "Gege doesn't need to be too anxious, Hongcui won't be in trouble inside." Dark incense has been entrusted to the prison guards, and they will not be wronged by Hongcui. ”

Luo Qingsong was surprised: "You say, why was Hongcui arrested?" ”

Zuichun replied succinctly: "Hongcui stabbed people." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone changed color. Liu Tongxun was the head of the Criminal Department before, so he naturally knew that it was powerful, so he rubbed his beard and said: "According to the "Great Qing Law", those who kill people for no reason will be punished with capital punishment. Those who kill and injure themselves shall be sentenced according to the severity of the circumstances, and the heavier punishment shall be beheaded, and the lighter case shall migrate for 3,500 miles. ”

When Randie heard this, her heart was even more chaotic, and she stepped forward to ask Lagge to go. Luo Qingsong and Dark Xiang stepped forward at the same time and scolded: "Random butterflies, don't be presumptuous!" ”

Randie knelt down on her legs, with tears in her eyes and a choked voice, and said, "Please Gege save Miss Hongcui!" The red green girl has a deep affection for Gege. Gege can save her. ”

Gege said, "Get up! You don't need to beg Ruoqing, Ruoqing will try her best to save her. As she spoke, she turned to Liu Tongxun, the Yang family and his son, the Song family and his son, Feng Jiao and Jiang Zhu and his party and said, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to drink the wine." Sister Hongcui and Ruoqing are sisters, and Ruoqing is going back to Beijing. ”

Hearing Gege say it so solemnly, it is naturally difficult for them to keep it. Jiang Zhu had the intention to send some family specialties, but Gege said that it was inconvenient to piggyback, so it was better to hurry up. The little guy led the horse, and Dark Xiang was about to go over to help, but Luo Qingsong jumped over. He took the first step to help Gege on his horse, and he jumped up again, and said, "Let's go." We had to get to Longtang Town before dark. ”

Luo Qingsong originally wanted to walk side by side with Gege, and the three of them followed behind. Ke Gege was anxious about Hongcui's matter, so Luo Qingsong walked in front, and she ran behind to ask Dark Xiang what was going on. Originally. After Gege was kidnapped by Luo Qingsong. A few of them had wanted to follow to find Gege. I don't want a rich man to suddenly appear out of nowhere in Jingshi, and he bought all the two pawnshops of the Song family and the Wang family. On the second day, the signboards of all the Song and Wang pawnshops in the whole Beijing Division were replaced with Chen characters. Dark incense is very puzzled, there are three pawnshops in Jingshi, one is the Ai family, but our family opened it. In addition, there are more than 50 Song families and Wang families. What rich man is so rich that he buys it all at once?

Dark incense sent someone to visit, and knew that the old owner of the newly opened Chen family pawnshop was surnamed Chen Kairen. He is the new nobleman of Jingshi. What is the specific origin, everyone has different opinions. Some people say that the Chen family has a daughter who has just been promoted to a concubine; It was said. The Chen family has a son who became the first auxiliary minister, and some people say that the Chen family is a relative of the emperor. In short, the Chen family can be regarded as having a great background.

Dark incense said in his heart, and no matter what the origin of the Chen family is, and whether they are the well water and not the river water. Before, the Ai family pawnshop, the Song family, and the Wang family stood on three legs, but now, it is a big deal to be equal to the Chen family, at most they are opponents, and they are not enemies.

Coincidentally, Hongcui happened to be sitting in the store that day. At that time, a guest came in, and he was fat and fat. Hongcui didn't take it seriously, and the guy ignored and asked the guest what he needed. The guest placed a package in his hand on the table and unwrapped the oily shiny wrapping cloth. Inside the cloth was a box, Hongcui glanced at it inadvertently, and immediately her eyes lit up. The box is made of fine mahogany, and the lid is inlaid with colorful gemstones. The body of the box is painted with the eight immortals crossing the sea, and the eight immortals are lifelike, as if they were real. Hongcui knew that this box was an extraordinary product, so she immediately greeted her and told the man to pour tea for the old man, but here she personally received the guest and asked, "Old man, do you want to be here?" With me here, I can guarantee that the price for you will be the highest, and the whole Jingshi will not find a second one. ”

The guest said coldly: "If it weren't for my granddaughter's serious illness, I wouldn't have sold this thing." ”

Normally, Hongcui would have dumped his face a long time ago, but today, for the sake of the box, he smiled like a flower. The guy brought the tea, Hongcui personally brought it, put it in front of the guest, and asked in a low voice, "Old man, please drink tea." ”

The guest was very shelf-oriented, and he was not polite, so he actually took the tea and drank it. Hongcui asked again: "Old man, do you want to be this box?" ”

The guest smiled coldly and said, "Are you worth it just by looking at this box?" I also know that this chest can be worth hundreds of taels of silver. But back then, my master said that this box and its contents were originally one set, and unless it was a last resort, this box and the contents could not be separated. ”

Hongcui said in her heart, the box is hundreds of taels, isn't the things in it more expensive? So, he begged in a low voice: "Old man, what is in this box?" Will you open my eyes? ”

The guest pulls out a bronze key from his bosom, unlocks the box and carefully opens the lid. Hongcui and the guy hurriedly leaned over to look, and accidentally bumped their heads, Hongcui patted the guy on the head, and said angrily: "What are you doing blindly!" ”

The guy only glanced at the inside of the box, and immediately stuck out his tongue, and didn't retract it for a long time. Hongcui looked at it, wow, this thing is really a rare good thing! It's a phoenix crown, like something from the previous dynasty. The whole body of the phoenix crown is woven into a frame with fine bamboo silk, and the inside and outside are painted after the silk is pasted, and finally the cuiyun dragon and phoenix are decorated. The emerald cloud dragon and phoenix are pierced with gold wire, inlaid with various pearls and gemstones. On both sides of the crown there are pearls made of pearls dripping down. The whole phoenix crown is brilliant, jeweled, and gratifying.

Hongcui saw this phoenix crown, and her jaw almost fell. After a long time, he said in a daze: "This is something from the previous dynasty, how did you get it?" ”

The guest immediately closed the lid and said unceremoniously, "Where do you care I got it?" If you don't like to be wrong, if you don't let me go, others will dare to be. ”

Hongcui woke up in shock, grabbed the guest and said, "I should be, I should be, I will definitely be." The old man must not go! Li Wu, you dead man, what are you doing where you stand, quickly move a chair for the old man. ”

The guy's name is Li Wu, and he hurriedly went into the house to move the chair and put it down. Hongcui pressed the guest into a chair, salivated and said, "How much does the old man cost?" ”

The guest did not answer, but held out five fingers. Hongcui asked, "Five hundred taels?" ”

The guest got up and was about to leave, and said, "Five hundred taels, what are you fooling me?" The box outside is about five hundred taels. ”

Hongcui was surprised and asked, "Five thousand taels!" Old man, you're choking to death at this price. ”

The guest said categorically: "Five thousand taels of silver, not a penny!" ”

Hongcui was embarrassed and said: "Old man, you can reduce it down, so much silver, my master wants to scold me to death." ”

The guest picked up the box, got up and was about to leave. Hongcui hurriedly grabbed the guest again, pressed him into the chair, and said in a loud voice: "Old man, old man, stop for a while!" Well, I'll give you four thousand taels, which is the price of death. When I go back, my little master will beat me to death. My dear old man, you should take pity on my granddaughter. Well, okay? Hongcui used her usual tricks, pulling the customer's arm and shaking it coquettishly, hoping that the guest could slow down the price.

How do you know that this guest is over half a hundred years old, and I don't know if I have a problem with myself or I don't feel for women, so I don't eat Hongcui at all, I shook off Hongcui's hand, and said resolutely: "I don't have your granddaughter who is pretending to be cute, if I have it, I will be killed a long time ago." Don't be fooled by me, five thousand taels of silver can't be less! If you want to be us, you can't leave me, and don't waste my time. ”

The thoughtful Hongcui can be regarded as a hard customer today. If it weren't for the unparalleled phoenix crown in the box, Hongcui wouldn't have been so low-voiced. Hongcui said in her heart, let's go, I will be patient and coax him again, if it can be cheaper by five hundred taels, Hongcui will admit it. With these five hundred taels, Hongcui can buy a few acres of land in Jiangning.

Hongcui smiled, refilled the tea for the guest, brought two plates of snacks, and said, "Old man, don't worry, it's okay to hurt our body, we can negotiate the price." It's yours, and you can say as much as you want. Come on, come on, eat something first, and see that the shortbread I made with my own hands tastes okay, right? ”

The guest's face improved slightly, put down the box, pinched a piece of shortbread and ate it.

At this time, Hongcuicai said again: "The old man said five thousand taels, let's just five thousand taels." Is that okay? ”

The guest nodded yes. Hongcui said in her heart, the market price of this phoenix crown is at least more than 10,000 taels, so it earns half of it, to say the least. As soon as the door opened today, there was such a big profit market, it was really lucky to go out and step on dog shit, and walk on shit. Hongcui instructed Li Wu to open a silver ticket, and he first had to appreciate and appreciate this phoenix crown.

At this time, the guest suddenly said: "I said five thousand taels of phoenix crown, but I haven't said the money for this box?" I sell this box with the phoenix crown, the phoenix crown is 5,000 taels, and the box is at least 500 taels. ”

Hongcui was furious in her heart, but she still asked patiently: "Why didn't the old man say this before?" ”

The guest replied slowly: "You only asked me about the phoenix crown, not about the box?" ”

Hongcui held back the fire in her belly, and came up slowly, she forcibly suppressed her anger and said: "Since the old man has spoken, I can't refute the old man's face." But the old man is not a golden mouth, saying that one is one, and he has to give the buyer a breather, in my opinion, plus the box, how about five thousand four hundred taels? "Hongcui does not mean that this hundred taels of silver is rare, but that the attitude of the guests is too arrogant. He only needs to give a little step, and Hongcui immediately slopes down the donkey.

But this guest is really a tough guest, he doesn't accept Hongcui's love at all, and still insists on five thousand five hundred taels, and he doesn't let a penny. Hongcui was really anxious, and deliberately extinguished his prestige, and said: "Then the old man will find another family, see if other families can give the old man such a high price?" ”

As soon as the words fell, someone said, "Why not?" I'll give five thousand five hundred taels! (To be continued......)
