Chapter 14 Forced Sale
As soon as Jiu Yao walked into the pawnshop, he saw that the shopkeeper was knocking on the abacus in his hand behind the high counter, and the hand was fast. He saw only Jiuyao, a well-dressed child, walk in, and he didn't take it seriously, but his attitude could be regarded as kind: "Little friend, this is not a place for you to come, don't be greedy, go find your father and mother." ”
"Uncle, are you here as a pawnshop?" Jiu Yao asked innocently.
"yes, how do you know? Where's your mom and dad? The shopkeeper was a little surprised.
"Oh, Daddy went buy us something to eat. My sister took me around, and they were in the cloth village next to me, so I'll come over later. Uncle, you're a pawnshop here, so can I be a pawnbroker here? ”
"Little friend, don't mess around, what can you be?" The shopkeeper only thought that Jiuyao was messing around and didn't take it to heart.
"Okay then, then I'll wait here for a while, otherwise my sister won't be able to find me when she comes." Jiu Yao rolled his eyes, did not argue with the shopkeeper, and unceremoniously climbed up to the carved wooden chair on the side and sat down by himself.
Sure enough, within a while, Chu Yun and Chu Ya hurriedly ran into the pawnshop, and they were relieved until they found Jiuyao. Chu Ya was in a hurry, and ran to Jiu Yao's side in three steps and two steps to speak, but was stopped by Jiu Yao in time.
Jiu Yao lowered his voice and said, "Sister Ya'er, from now on, you have to pretend to be my own sister, and act on everything, understand?" ”
The two nodded slightly, indicating understanding. Then Yao'er spoke: "Sister, why did you come, I've been waiting for a long time!" If you don't come again, I won't share the money with you later!" ”
"You are a ghost, the second sister and the eldest sister went to the cloth village next to me to look at it for a while, don't you come over quickly, don't you delay the business." Chu Yun said with a smile when he heard this.
Yao'er secretly gave Chu Yun a thumbs up in her heart, and then walked to the counter unhurriedly, but the person was too small and the whole one was blocked. Seeing this, Chu Ya hurriedly picked up Yao'er, Yao'er looked not light, but the weight was full. The shopkeeper's heart was shocked, for fear that the big one would accidentally drop the small one and something would happen to them in the store.
It's just that Chu Ya is definitely a typical representative of people who can't look good, holding a small meat mound, and the thin little body didn't even shake for a moment, standing there steadily.
Yao'er didn't talk nonsense, and directly opened the burden to show the shopkeeper: "I'll take all of these, can you accept them here?" ”
The shopkeeper was shocked for a moment. Although their pawnshop is an old pawnshop that has been open for an unknown number of years, and they have received many valuable treasures, it is the first time that the three little girls have come to pawn with such precious and delicate things.
When the shopkeeper finally came back to his senses, he hurriedly asked, "Little friend, where did you get all these things?" I see that you are also the children of a large family, and these things are so well made, and they don't look like dirty things of unknown origin, but I am very curious. ”
"You don't care so much, and you don't care who we are. You are opening a store to do business, since you have customers, then you just care about whether to do this business or not. I don't think you guys are an ordinary store with a small door, so you should still have a sense of confidentiality for customers, right? Seeing that there was no one around him except Chu Yun and Chu Ya, Yao'er simply took out her original momentum and said such a thing directly and clearly.
"Yes, the young lady is right. It's just that if you're sure you want to be, I'll spend some time calculating these treasures. The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and he didn't understand how a little girl of such a big age could say such a thing, and this all-round style and such momentum were really not ordinary people.
"That's good. Sister, Uncle said so, so let's wait here for a while, okay? Yao'er turned her head and smiled sweetly at Chu Yun Chu Ya, how could she still have the terrifying spirit just now.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was busy pouring tea himself, and by the way, he didn't know where to find some snacks: "Don't worry, three young ladies, let's eat some snacks here now and wait for a while, just for a while." ”
Although Jiuyao seemed very relaxed, joking and selling cuteness with Chu Yun Chuya from time to time, his eyes never left the counter for a moment, and he didn't dare to do anything.
Finally, when Jiuyao and the others were unceremoniously full, the shopkeeper finally said excitedly: "Miss, although these things of yours are small, they are better than the good material, and I won't give you a damn of them, a total of three thousand six hundred taels, only a lot more." ”
Jiu Yao looked at the shopkeeper's cloudy eyes that couldn't tell the truth from the fake, and smiled at the shopkeeper. Seeing this, the shopkeeper didn't wait for a sigh of relief, he heard a "snap", Jiuyao's little hand slapped on the solid wood counter, and his little face was cold: "Shopkeeper, don't bully us, although Miss Ben doesn't know how to do business, but I have seen a lot of good things since I was a child, don't try to lie to me!" All of my things are novelty and treasures collected from all over the world, and the materials are all excellent. Even if the materials are small, the workmanship is exquisite, don't tell me that you, a person who has been in the pawnshop business for so many years, can't see whose handwriting this jade fox and golden horse are from! If you provoke Miss Ben, I don't care who is behind you, I can immediately smash your signboard, charge you with a crime, and let Jing Zhaoyin send you a few years in prison to eat! ”
"Hey, Miss forgive me, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai. Miss, what do you think these objects should be? When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly begged for mercy and smiled.
"Since you are so sincere as the shopkeeper, then Jing'er is not such an unreasonable person, and she can't let you lose it. So, you exchange me for a silver ticket of one hundred taels of gold and one thousand taels of silver, and I will ask for it now. Yao'er slapped her face, her eyes full of cunning.
"Oh my little aunt, you ...... This ......" The shopkeeper's face wanted to cry without tears, looking at Yao'er's eyes that gradually narrowed, and the remaining words to intercede were swallowed back into his stomach. Where is this unreasonable? This is simply unreasonable, it is a clear robbery! Four hundred taels of gold! The belt of the pants that had to be paid is gone!
"What, not happy? If you don't like it, then you can go to the official to sue the official, it's best if you can go to the prime minister's mansion to sue, I heard that our prime minister is clean and honest, and he will definitely be the master for you. Okay, that's it, you can do it yourself, but I can wait for this money, and you can't afford to delay Miss Ben's time! As soon as Yao'er spoke, these words were very arrogant. Chu Ya and Chu Yun held back their laughter, and their cheeks began to hurt.
"Then miss, wait a while, I'll let the guy go and exchange the silver ticket." As he spoke, he opened a door behind the counter and hurried in.
After a while, I saw a very handsome young man walking out of it, wearing a purple brocade robe, with delicate facial features, a face like a crown of jade, eyes full of affection, and a pair of peach blossom eyes slightly raised, all of which were amorous. A folding fan in his hand is lined with elegance.
The shopkeeper followed behind the man and said humbly: "This young lady, our boss happened to come to the shop to take a look around, and it was a coincidence, I heard that you came to see such a big deal." ”
The man glanced at Jiu Yao and said with great disdain: "Is it that you are such a little girl who came to my store to buy and sell?" Little girl, don't make trouble, go home quickly, it's not safe outside. ”
Jiu Yao snorted coldly: "This uncle, don't rely on your coquettish face to abduct us children." Besides, I do business well with the shopkeeper, and even if you are the boss, you can't be honest. I can tell you, if you don't give me a silver ticket today, I won't leave, and I will set up a sign in front of your pawnshop to accuse you of being a discredited black shop! ”
"I, you dare to call me uncle with such a young and handsome face?! Okay, Master Ben has a lot of them, so I don't care about you as a child. I'm telling you, no matter who you are today, I'm not going to do this business! Someone, send off! When the man heard this, his whole face turned green, and he gritted his teeth and finally waved his sleeves and turned his back in hatred.
