Chapter 11: Mother's Name
This bazaar is not too big, there are not many well-known pawnshops, Rowan interspersed the flow of people for a while, and then asked the name of the nearest pawnshop.
"Prosperous Pawnshop!"
Luo Wen chuckled, the name is straightforward, and the reason why Luo Wen left Lin Qifeng and his mother to come here was because he missed the exquisite jade bracelet in his mother's hand.
He knew that his mother's value for the bracelet, and he often touched it, probably because the bracelet had a different meaning, otherwise, the woman would not rather choose to be a temporary play that she felt despicable, and she would not choose to sell the jade bracelet.
Later, because the appearance of Li Gongzi disturbed the woman's drama, the woman did not make any money, so she sold the bracelet in desperation and bought pastries for Rowan.
Therefore, Luo Wen appeared here to redeem his mother's jade bracelet.
"Boss, boss, anyone?"
Rowan asked for directions from passers-by, and went straight to Wangcai Pawnshop, a pawnshop connected by several rooms, and then walked in and asked out loud.
A plainly dressed guy who looked like he was in his twenties hurriedly ran out with a smile: "Hey, young master, what do you want to pawn?" ”
"No, I'm here to redeem something." Rowan said.
The young man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Young master, wait a minute, I'll call my shopkeeper", and then walked towards the inner room.
The guy knows that the time has come to make money, after all, what they do in the pawnshop business is to rob while the fire is burning, to put it bluntly, recycle at a low price and sell at a high price.
Outside, the young man also saw that Luo Wen was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary momentum, and thought that Luo Wen must be a rich young master, so he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly asked his shopkeeper to come out, after all, in this bargaining, the old fox like the pawnshop shopkeeper is better at it.
The shopkeeper of Wangcai Pawnshop is a middle-aged man in his early forties, wearing a small black hat and carrying a pair of glasses trimmed with gold wire, as if he wants to play the role of an antique old pedant, but he looks nondescript, which makes people laugh.
"Little Liuzi, where is the young master?"
"Shopkeeper, here!" The young man hurriedly lured Rowan over.
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed quickly on Luo Wen's body who came over, and the original arrogance on his face immediately turned into a flattering smile: "Young master, are you going to redeem something?" ”
"Yes."
"And what do you want to ransom?"
"A jade bracelet." Rowan said.
"Jade Bracelet!" The shopkeeper was stunned, and then said, "Okay, then please tell me the name of the person who pawned the things." ”
Rowan paused for a moment and said bluntly: "I don't know." ”
"You don't know?" The shopkeeper was stunned, if it weren't for Luo Wen's appearance really like a broad young master, I was afraid that he would be scolded by the shopkeeper and then blasted out, this is not to play with him!
The shopkeeper paused, and then asked, "Then, when did the jade bracelet pawn?" ”
"It was about yesterday morning."
"Young master, don't you know, my prosperous pawnshop comes to pawn a lot of things every day, especially jade bracelets and the like, if you can't tell me who the pawnbroker is, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find what you need to redeem."
Rowan thought for a moment and said, "Then do you have a record of yesterday's pawnbroker's name here?" ”
"Yes, six sons."
After the shopkeeper finished shouting, the young man brought the record book, and Rowan was silent, turning the account book page by page.
"Zhou Dalong, pawn a piece of folk jade, date***"
"Liu San, pawn a mechanical watch ......"
……
One by one, the names crossed in front of Luo Wen's eyes, and Luo Wen was a little undecided, but he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of his mother, so he didn't ask her name, so that he didn't know her name at all.
And just when Rowan was a little at a loss, a name suddenly appeared in his sight, and immediately made him stay on the spot.
"This is it", Rowan's tone was very affirmative.
The shopkeeper took the account book and looked at it, and a line of delicate brush words was revealed, "Guo Buluo Wanrong, Guo Shi, pawn a delicate palace jade bracelet." ”
"Young master, are you sure it's this jade bracelet?" The shopkeeper still asked.
"Yes!"
Luo Wen cut the railway, but the shock in his heart still did not retreat, it was really this name that evoked too many memories of him, Guo Buluo Wanrong, except for the word "Guo Bu", it was actually the name of his mother in his memory.
So he was pretty sure that most of this woman was his mother here.
On the other side, hearing Luo Wen's affirmative voice, the shopkeeper's smile became more and more obvious, he rubbed his hands and said: "Young master, this jade bracelet is not ordinary, it is a palace thing, it flows out of the court of the last autocratic patriarch of our Chinese clan, and it is worth a lot of money!"
But since you're the one who wants it, I can ......."
"Is this enough?" Luo Wen was wondering how his mother could have palace things, and when he saw that the shopkeeper showed a fox expression, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and directly threw the soldier coin given by Lin Qifeng.
The shopkeeper caught the soldiers fighting for coins, looked at it, the fat old face shook, and hurriedly said: "Enough is enough, young master, this jade bracelet is yours." ”
Rowan nodded, took the familiar delicate jade bracelet, and then left without looking back.
Behind him, the shopkeeper saw Rowan leaving, so he shuddered and took out the handkerchief in his pocket, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said to himself with palpitations: "I'm a god, I'm actually a member of the army, fortunately, it's not a brutal soldier." ”
In a word, the image of the soldiers fighting for the mainland at this moment in the hearts of the people has been fully exposed.
…… Luo Wen reappeared in the bazaar and found Lin Qifeng and his mother, who were waiting for him in the same place, that is, Guo Buluo Wanrong, Guo Shi.
"Xiaowen, let's go!" Lin Madfeng didn't ask Rowan what he was doing, and said with a smile.
Rowan nodded, and the three of them hit the road again.
When he arrived at the entrance of Guanyue Town, Guo Shi stopped, and looked at the place in front of him that was about to leave him and carried a lot of his memories.
She habitually touched her right wrist again, and realized that her wrist was empty, and then she looked a little lonely.
Luo Wen quietly appeared beside Guo Shi and said softly: "Mother, if you want to come back when you want to come back, I will accompany you!" ”
Guo Shi nodded and smiled happily: "No need, my son, as long as I can accompany you, it will be the same everywhere." ”
Luo Wen's heart warmed, he looked at Guo's smooth and jade-like wrist, and said with a smile: "Mother, where is the jade bracelet on your wrist?" How is it gone. ”
"Oh...... I took it off when I went to bed yesterday, and it disappeared during the day, maybe it was taken away by the rats of the broken temple, but it was not a valuable thing anyway. ”
Guo's expression was unnatural.
Luo Wen smiled, then took out the jade bracelet in Guo's astonishment, and said, "Mother, the jade bracelet was not transferred by the rats, I found it in the straw when I got up in the morning, and now I will return it to you." ”
"Oh, good, good......"
Guo Shi took the jade bracelet in a daze, put it back on his hand, and glanced at Luo Wen with a complicated look.
