Chapter 162: The Jade Pendant Has Been Sold!
Under the suspicious gaze of the two, I saw Lu Chen hurriedly running over, and before he could say a word, he quickly picked up the chopsticks and ate it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The two of them "..............." rubbing, and they were actually deceived by this kid!
The two looked at Lu Chen, who was eating, and they didn't have time to sigh, so they hurriedly picked up the dishes and chopsticks in front of them and devoured them.
Soon, the table full of food was swept away by the trio. Lu Chen wiped his mouth, and exclaimed while burping, "The skill of meat balls is indeed not comparable to others!" ”
Hearing Lu Chen's praise, he saw that the meat ball smiled shyly, and then said with a slight meaning, "These are just matched by me a long time ago, and recently I am trying to make some new dishes, and I will let you try them when I have time in the future!" ”
At this time, Lu Chen suddenly said, "Meat ball, let's redeem your jade pendant as soon as possible, this kind of thing is of great significance after all, once something happens, it will be very troublesome!" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Long glanced at Lu Chen, who had a solemn face, and asked in a somewhat confused tone, "What?" What do you think is wrong? ”
Lu Chen sighed lightly and said, "I always feel that this matter is a little strange, the pawnshop shopkeeper should know that the meat ball is not capable of repaying these 20,000 taels of gold, and although that jade pendant is of great significance, it is a bit of a chicken rib for the pawnshop, and the value of the jade pendant alone is not even worth five thousand taels of gold." But even so, he still happily gave 20,000 taels of gold to the meat ball, which made people doubt his intentions! ”
When Lu Chen said this, the face of the meat ball had become pale, he didn't care about these when he pawned the jade pendant before, after all, with his unworldly mind, he couldn't think about these at all. At that time, he was happy to see that he could withstand so much gold. Now that I think about it, how can people who have no relatives and no reason to lend themselves 20,000 taels of gold so easily? Suddenly, Meatball had the urge to slap himself twice.
Looking at the remorseful meat ball, Lu Chen comforted, "Don't worry about it first, this is just my guess, it may be that the pawnshop shopkeeper also gave you 20,000 taels of gold for the sake of King Shou's face."
Afterwards, Lu Chen handed the box he brought to the meat ball and said, "There are 10,000 taels of gold in here, which is part of the property I seized in Minzhou City, you can take it to redeem the jade pendant first, this matter can't be delayed any longer!" ”
Hearing this, Meatball looked at Lu Chen very gratefully, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only stand in place and look at Lu Chen in a daze. Seeing his appearance, Lu Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to be like this, we don't need those polite words between us, hurry up and gather these 20,000 taels of gold, and redeem your jade pendant and those souvenirs!" ”
Meatball nodded heavily, and said very seriously, "I still want to thank you, when I make money in the future, I will definitely return it to you as soon as possible!" After speaking, I saw the meat ball heading towards an attic not far away, obviously to get his own private money.
At the same time, Zhao Long next to him said, "I will also go back to the mansion to take the thousands of taels of gold that I won during the martial arts, and put on the meat ball first!" After speaking, Zhao Long immediately rushed towards the direction of the house gate.
After a long time..........
Zhao Long panted and ran in from outside, the three of them finally got together the 20,000 taels of gold, Lu Chen took out 10,000, the meat ball himself took out 6,000, and the remaining 4,000 was added by Zhao Long, of course, the meat ball took another 1,000 taels, after all, the pawnshop also has to charge interest.
After collecting these 20,000 taels of gold, they no longer hesitated, and immediately led the way by the meat ball, and ran towards the pawnshop where he pawned the jade pendant.
When the three of them came to a relatively prosperous street in Chang'an City, the meat ball that was walking in front suddenly stopped. Following the eyes of the meat ball, Lu Chen saw that there was a pavilion on the opposite side of the street, and there was a huge vermilion sign 'Qingfeng Pawn', this pawn shop Lu Chen had heard of before, even in all the pawn shops in Chang'an City, it was also very famous. Thinking about it, this is also expected, how can a pawnshop that can pawn 20,000 taels of gold to meat balls at one time not be famous?
Just by looking at the ornate decoration, you can see that this pawnshop is by no means comparable to those small pawnshops. In particular, the high roof of the building is one level higher than the shops next to it. Seeing this scene, Lu Chen secretly said in his heart: It seems that the background of this pawnshop is also very strong, otherwise, it would be impossible to be so strong!
Just as they were thinking, the three of them had already walked to the pawnshop and walked through the red pillars. As soon as the three of them entered, a young girl greeted them with a standard professional smile. The voice was very sweet, "Do the three sons want to pawn something, or do they want to buy it?" ”
I saw Meatball say reluctantly, "I'm here to redeem my own things!" ”
Hearing this, the girl still maintained a smile on her face, and said, "Then please go to the counter on the left, where there is a special person responsible for the redemption of the items."
When he heard this, he saw the meat ball wave his hand and said, "They can't do it, you go and call your shopkeeper out, the pawn is in your shopkeeper's hands!" ”
Hearing Zhao Long's words, the girl wanted to say something. Lu Chen, who was standing behind the meat ball, suddenly exuded a trace of murderous aura, but the murderous aura only disappeared in a flash, and it immediately retracted.
But even so, the girl was so frightened that she was in a cold sweat at the moment, she glanced at Lu Chen in fear, and finally whispered, "Then please wait here for a while, and I'll go find the shopkeeper!" ”
After speaking, the girl ran towards the back of the hall inside, for fear that she would really be killed by the young man, the murderous aura just now was really scary, and at that moment, she felt as if she was going to suffocate. Not long after the girl left, she saw a middle-aged man who was somewhat obese coming out from behind. He has short hair and a smile on his fat face, which makes it easy to make a good impression.
When this person saw the meat ball, a glint flashed in his eyes. However, he hid it well, and that glimmer of essence disappeared in a flash. Except for Lu Chen, I'm afraid there is no second person in the field who will find out. And after perceiving this person's emotional fluctuations just now, Lu Chen immediately became vigilant in his heart, and at the same time, he had much hope for the inexplicable non-retribution of the redemption of the jade pendant today.
Seeing the shopkeeper come out, Meatball hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Do you still know me?" ”
Hearing Meatball's inquiry, the man hurriedly laughed and said, "Of course I know, the prince of the Tangshou Palace, how could the villain not know him?" ”
"Since it's easy to get to know each other, didn't I mortgage a jade pendant and a few souvenirs from you before? Now I want to redeem it! Meatball said a little anxiously.
When he heard the words of the meat ball, he saw the middle-aged man with a sad face, and said with a smile, "This...... Li Shizi is sorry, but a few of your other souvenirs are still with me. However, that jade pendant was bought by someone else! (To be continued.) )
