Chapter 45: The Pawnshop
Liu Yingxue found the nearest pawnshop, carefully took out the jade pendant, handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "Please help me see, how many silver taels can this jade pendant be exchanged for?" ”
The shopkeeper saw that she was dirty, but this jade pendant looked expensive, squinted at the jade pendant, there was an orchid pattern in the corner of the jade pendant, and she couldn't detect it if she didn't look at it carefully, she avoided it, of course she wouldn't look at the jade pendant carefully, so she wouldn't notice the patterns on it at all.
The shopkeeper asked with a solemn face, "How did you get this jade pendant?" ”
She told the truth: "This jade pendant was given to me by a friend, is there anything wrong?" ”
"There's nothing wrong with that." The shopkeeper coughed lightly, looked at the piece of jade over and over again, and said, "Although jade is a good piece of jade, but now there is not much silver pawned in the war, and only ornaments such as gold hairpins and silver hairpins are convenient for circulation." ”
The shopkeeper finally took out a tael of silver and handed it to her: "I'm also interesting enough, I may not be easy to sell this jade pendant if I accept it." ”
Liu Yingxue took the silver two in her hand, there was a heavy feeling, she glanced at the jade pendant again, as if she had a complicated feeling about Nangong Jin, but now she doesn't care about this, she doesn't have to be sorry for Nangong Jin, just cancel each other.
She licked her dry lips, took Xiao Cui's hand and walked out, she said softly: "We can have a full meal, and this silver can make do to reach Ancheng." ”
They finally ate a few meatloaf that night, although she had a little silver tael, but she didn't dare to spend all the money lavishly, otherwise there would be no remaining silver taels, and she didn't dare to use every money indiscriminately until she found Gao Mingxuan.
The master and servant continued to walk forward, and after a few days, they came to Ancheng, at this time Ancheng was heavily guarded, and everyone who entered the city was very strict, because the two of them were dressed in tatters, so the guards guarding the city looked at them a few more times, stopped them outside and said: "You two can't go in, Ancheng doesn't accept beggars, you better go to other places." ”
When Liu Yingxue heard this, her expression became anxious, and she remembered that she still had a little money on her body, so she stuffed the remaining copper coins to the soldiers guarding the city gate, and begged; "This big brother, I came to Ancheng to find an old friend, and I only have such a little money on me, can you make it convenient."
The guards accepted the money, and did not continue to embarrass her, waving their hands to signal the two of them to enter.
It wasn't until she stepped into the city that Liu Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief, and the next thing was to find the place where Gao Mingxuan was, and after many inquiries, she knew the movements of the prince and others, a mansion on the outskirts of Anseong.
"Xiaocui, next we are going to the prince's mansion to find my cousin, but the prince's side is not free to enter and exit." Her expression was slightly worried, as long as she found the prince, she could find Gao Mingxuan.
Xiao Cui sighed and said, "Miss Biao, we have all arrived in Ancheng, even if it is difficult, we have to find it." ”
Liu Yingxue walked to the prince's mansion hard, but this outfit would indeed be mistaken for a beggar, and before she could speak, she was stopped by the guards of the prince's mansion, and the guard said to her impatiently: "Get out of here, this is not the place you should be." ”
She and Xiaocui were kicked out again, but she finally arrived at this place, so she naturally had to guard outside.
