Chapter 468: Pawnshop Business
It was when Leng Yan was worried about Bai Lu's whereabouts that in the capital of Qi State, a delicate-looking woman walked on the street and attracted the attention of others.
She looks delicate and has fair cheeks, but there are several holes in her clothes, and she stumbles on the street, and many people dare not make contact with her, but dare to walk aside, for fear of being falsely accused.
This person is the white dew that Leng Yan is looking for.
Bai Lu followed Xiao Wenqing all the way to the Qi Kingdom, she had noticed it before, and now when she arrived at the capital of the Qi Kingdom, she found out, this Xu family brother and sister who are quite famous in the Qi Kingdom, isn't it Xiao Wenqing and Xu Xi?
She inquired here early in the morning, found a pawnshop, and put a hairpin in her arms on the desk.
"This ......"
The owner of the pawnshop only thought that Bai Lu was a lonely orphan girl, and he had a contemptuous attitude, but he didn't expect that as soon as this woman made a move, she was not ordinary, such a big Nanzhu, I was afraid that the concubines in the palace would be difficult to have.
"Girl, can you let the old man take a closer look at this bead?"
The shopkeeper looked at the Nanzhu in front of him with blazing eyes, and after obtaining Bai Lu's consent, he carefully picked up the Nanzhu, carefully placed it under the candle flame and looked at it carefully, after several confirmations, he nodded, and looked at Bai Lu's eyes with a trace of suspicion.
"Girl, this is the best Nanzhu, but I don't know where the girl got it from?"
The shopkeeper has also been mixed in this capital for many years, and he still has the ability to see people, he looked at Bai Lu in front of him, and saw that Bai Lu looked delicate, and he didn't look like he was born in a rich family.
So he looked at Bai Lu, trying to find out something wrong from Bai Lu's expression.
Bai Lu's gaze was very condensed, she lightly met the shopkeeper's eyes, and said impatiently after half a sound: "I am not from Qi Country, this Nanzhu was given to me by my young lady, you can inquire in Qi Country, who can have such a beautiful Nanzhu?" β
As soon as I heard Bai Lu's words, the shopkeeper believed some of them, the reason why Nanzhu is precious in Qi is that this Nanzhu is a specialty of Chu, and in the case of bad relations between the two countries, this price is naturally higher and higher, and this Nanzhu with good color is also extremely difficult to find, but if it is in Chu, all this makes sense.
Moreover, Bai Lu's accent did not look like a Qi countryman, so the shopkeeper nodded and said, "Girl, although your Nanzhu is rare, there is only one, and at most it can only be made into a hairpin, and the price is ......."
"Just tell me how much money you have!"
Bai Lu didn't want to say much to him, so he was stunned for a moment, then looked at the shopkeeper and said impatiently.
After meeting Bai Lu's gaze, the shopkeeper hung his heart, he subconsciously shrank back, and only reacted later, nodded, looked at Bai Lu and said: "Five hundred taels of silver, no more!" β
Hearing this, Bai Lu looked straight at the shopkeeper with a pair of cold eyes,
After seeing this, the shopkeeper swallowed his saliva, for some reason, this little girl, although her body is small, but her momentum is not low, after facing such a pressing momentum, he can only be weak and say: "Girl, at most eight hundred taels of silver, no more." β
"Deal."
Bai Lu nodded and put Nanzhu on the table.
The shopkeeper put the silver ticket on the table with a painful face, and when he saw Bai Lu leave with his front foot, he said with his back foot: "Quick! Put this bead on the hairpin and send it to Xu's house! β
Bai Lu, who walked to the door, happened to hear this, her eyes flashed slightly, but her eyes became more and more cold, all of this was within her budget.
The Xu Mansion has been extremely lively these days, all because of the woman Xiao Wenqing brought back.
"Have you ever heard, this woman is the fiancΓ©e of the adult's childhood sweetheart, who grew up with the adult, and was separated from the adult before, and now the adult finally found her!"
A second-class maid held the dish in her hand, her eyes full of excitement.
After hearing this, a palace maid who was pruning flowers and plants on the side was puzzled at this moment: "But I heard that the third princess has a soft spot for adults!" β
When it comes to Qi Yanyu, these people are obviously restless again, most of their maids are natives in the capital, and even some maids came out of the palace, so they know the deeds of the third princess clearly.
No one in the Qi country knows that the third princess, Qi Yanyu, is the most favored daughter of the Emperor of Qi, she has always given whatever she wants, no one has ever seen her so obedient to a man, but now, this man actually has a wife! That's a big deal!
Many maids who had been tortured by Qi Yanyu were already secretly laughing at her.
They were just talking, but they saw a man with an extremely indifferent face coming over, he looked at these people, his eyes were full of coldness, and he said angrily: "Do you know what the crime of talking about the master behind his back should be? β
"Ink Guard......
This person is Mo Bai, as soon as these people saw him, they were like seeing a cat's mouse, they all stepped back in fright, and after meeting Mo Bai's eyes, they knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy from Mo Bai.
Seeing the appearance of these maids, a trace of boredom flashed imperceptibly in Mo Bai's eyes, and he did not punish these people, but turned around and walked towards the study.
Seeing Mo Bai leaving, there was no imaginary punishment, they looked at each other, but they were also glad to have escaped, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so they hurriedly went to do their own things.
As soon as Mo Bai entered the study, he saw Xiao Wenqing with gentle eyes.
He rarely saw Xiao Wenqing like this, since Xiao Wenqing and Xiao Yechen failed to fight for the throne, he has never had such a relaxed look on his face, and this scene is really extremely rare now.
So Mo Bai deliberately didn't want to disturb Xiao Wenqing.
However, Xiao Wenqing still put down the pen in his hand, he looked at Mo Bai, and said, "But what happened in the house?" β
As soon as he heard this, Mo Bai nodded, he god
The color was a little dignified, and he said: "Master, those people in the house, it's time to clean up!" β
These people in the mansion are Xiao Wenqing's cronies, but there are also many people sent by the emperor, these people are either slaves in the family of the former criminal ministers, or palace maids who came out of the palace, fish and dragons are mixed, among which there are many spies from others.
"But what happened?"
Xiao Wenqing knew that Mo Bai was very disciplined, and he would never make such a request for no reason.
So he looked at Mo Bai and wanted an answer.
After hearing this, Mo Bai told what he had seen, and at the same time said worriedly: "The subordinates are worried, these people are secretly arranged, will it affect the master?" β
When Xiao Wenqing heard this, he nodded slightly, and said: "These people are all rewarded by the emperor, and it is impossible to expel people from them, so we still have to cultivate some of our own talents." β
