Chapter Eighty-Five: Sneaking Out of the House
Knowing that he would spend a lot of silver taels when he left the mansion, but there was basically no cash in the mansion on weekdays, Gu Muzhi simply brought a few pieces of jewelry that Qin Boyong had given him and prepared to go to the pawnshop to replace the silver first.
The last time I met Wangcai in the backyard, I stumbled upon that it was negligent in management, and it could lead directly to the outside of the house, but at that time, I didn't think much about it because I was too scared.
"Hahaha! My Gu Muzhi finally came out! The moment he stood on the street, Gu Muzhi finally laughed happily.
Seeing that there were a few people around him looking at him with puzzled eyes, realizing that he was a little too presumptuous and almost exposed his identity, Gu Muzhi smiled embarrassedly and immediately walked towards the crowded place.
"Shopkeeper!" Gu Muzhi swaggered into a pawnshop and shouted at the door.
The shopkeeper of the pawnshop walked out with a puzzled face, looked at the smug immature man in front of him, and frowned unhappily: "This guest officer is here to be a thing?" ”
"Nonsense, I don't come to this pawnshop to be a thing, I'm here to drink tea?" As soon as these words came out, Gu Muzhi suddenly thought of drinking tea! That's right, I haven't been to the teahouse in Jingzhou yet, and I've heard Xiaolan say that the eloquence of the storyteller in the Jingzhou teahouse is a must, so it's better to take a look later.
"Childe, what are you doing in a daze? If there's something good, you might as well take a look! ”
The shopkeeper reads countless people on weekdays, and most of the people who come to the pawnshop pawn are in trouble at the moment, so they are very reluctant to choose to exchange their beloved things for silver, but they are so happy that they are the first time to see it.
Being reminded by the shopkeeper like this, Gu Muzhi nodded hurriedly and took out a bunch of jewelry from his arms.
The shopkeeper took it carefully, put it in his hand, and looked at it carefully one by one.
Gu Muzhi watched from the side, and the shopkeeper looked at several things one after another, and his face changed from impatience at the beginning to shock.
"Childe, where did you get these things?"
"You can't control this, these are all from formal channels, I don't steal or rob." Gu Muzhi had an upright look, after all, what she said was true, how could what Qin Boyong gave her get through informal means?
"This..."The shopkeeper still looked incredulous, and the person in front of him didn't seem to be the children of a rich family, but these things were only owned by a rich family.
"Don't hesitate, don't give it back to me quickly, I'll find someone else." Gu Muzhi was a little impatient, and reached out to take his things.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly stretched out his hand to protect those treasures and looked at Gu Muzhi with a sneer.
"Hey, hey, what's the matter with Childe? I want all of these things. ”
Although the shopkeeper was still a little apprehensive in his heart, if he wanted to watch these treasures go to other houses, he couldn't bear it, so he simply gritted his teeth and accepted it all.
Gu Muzhi knew that collecting things in a place like a pawnshop would be two percent cheaper than the market price, and she had no concept of silver taels. So when the shopkeeper handed her fifty taels of silver tickets, she did not hesitate and happily put them in her pocket.
Seeing that Gu Muzhi did not make a counteroffer, but was still very happy, the shopkeeper sighed secretly.
"If there are any good things in the future, send them all to me."
Gu Muzhi glanced up at the greasy man standing in front of him, thinking that next time he would be a thing, he wouldn't come here, but he still had a smile on his face and nodded slightly.
As soon as Gu Muzhi left with his front foot, the shopkeeper's face immediately changed, his face was full of sinisterness, and he beckoned to the shopkeeper behind him.
"You go, follow him secretly and see what he does."
Gu Muzhi had the silver, and his heart was much more steady, seeing that it was still early, he was going to go to the street first and then go to the teahouse.
For a few days, Gu Muzhi hadn't been on the street, and he wanted to eat everything he saw, but he couldn't decide what to eat, so he kept wandering aimlessly.
"Childe, buy a marshmallow." A little kid with a marshmallow walked up to Gu Muzhi and stopped, his face and body were dirty.
When Gu Muzhi saw this, his heart hurt very much, and he leaned down and took out his handkerchief and gently wiped his face for him.
"Kid, why are you selling marshmallows on this street? What about your family? ”
"Back to Gongzi, my mother-in-law is sick and has no money for treatment, so I want to earn money to treat my mother-in-law." Although the child's appearance is immature, you can see the firmness in her eyes.
"Goo~" At this moment, the child's stomach screamed, he smiled embarrassedly, and reached out to cover his stomach.
Gu Muzhi's heart was sour, he touched the fifty taels he was carrying in his arms, and hesitated for a moment.
"Let's go, sister... My brother took you to eat, and I bought all your marshmallows. ”
Gu Muzhi took the child to eat a bowl of wontons on the street, and watching him touch his round belly with satisfaction, Gu Muzhi was finally relieved.
After opening his fifty taels of silver, Gu Muzhi immediately took thirty taels to the child, and asked for the address of his house, preparing to let Qin Boyong take him with him in the future.
Looking at the back of the child leaving happily, Gu Muzhi smiled knowingly, and he could be regarded as doing a good deed with his meager efforts.
"How many of you are there, officer?" After separating from the child, Gu Muzhi's interest in watching the play was not as high as before, but he thought that it was still early, and it was not bad to kill time, so he finally walked into the teahouse.
"One." Gu Muzhi's face was calm, making him look like a regular customer.
"Howler! Follow me! The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic, and immediately took her upstairs, and at Gu Muzhi's request, she sat in the position closest to the stage.
Seeing that there were more and more people in the store, and soon there were no vacant seats, she began to rejoice in her heart, it seemed that she had come at the right time.
"Childe, this girl is also alone, but there is no place for it, if you don't mind, can you let the girl sit with you?"
Just as Gu Muzhi was happily drinking tea and eating snacks, the shopkeeper stood in front of her with a person.
When Gu Muzhi heard this, he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.
"Hehe, I don't mind, girl, just sit." After Gu Muzhi said this to the shopkeeper, he turned his head and glanced at the girl standing beside him casually.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you were attracted by her appearance at first glance.
Although this woman is dressed plainly, she looks beautiful, and her face is only slightly powdered, and she looks very clean, which is not at all different from other women.
"Childe? What's wrong? Seeing Gu Muzhi looking at herself intently, the woman pretended to smile softly.
