When Liu's mother walked away, Lin Yanyan entered the pawnshop.

"What do you want to be?" The guy lazily walked behind the high counter.

Lin Yanyan took off the bracelet on his wrist and handed it in.

The guy saw that it was a good mutton fat jade bracelet, his eyes lit up, and then he pretended to identify it, and then looked at the clothes of the people who came to pawn, they were dressed very plainly! He said in disgust: "Your bracelet is not in good condition, live or die?" ”

"How much does it cost? How much does it cost to die? ”

"If I live and can only give you eight taels of silver, if you die...... Thirty taels. ”

Tan Yun was angry: "You might as well grab it, this is a good mutton fat jade bracelet, and you may not be able to buy it for two hundred taels of silver." ”

The guy hesitated: "If it's a death, I can consider giving an extra five taels of silver, not more." ”

Lin Yanyan asked: "Is the person who came in just now dead or alive?" ”

The guy immediately became vigilant: "You just say that it is inappropriate, what do you care about others?" ”

"Little brother, don't blame, it's the first time I've come to pawn, I don't understand the market, and I can't make up my mind whether to live or die, after all, this is my family's heirloom, so I want to know how others choose."

The guy said: "If you still want to redeem it, you can live it, the disadvantage is that you can't make a few dollars, if you don't redeem it, the price will naturally be high, and the person who chose it just now is to die." ”

What the guy didn't say was that the objects that were generally chosen to be dead in the pawnshop were not visible, otherwise they would be taken to a jewelry store or an antique store, and the price would at least double.

Lin Yanyan sighed: "I'll think about it again." ”

The guy was depressed: "Are you kidding me?" ”

"I'm really sorry, the heirloom has to be cautious, if you want to pawn, I will definitely go to you."

The guy returned the jade bracelet to Lin Yanyan and gave him a big white eye.

Lin Yanyan got out of the pawnshop and ran into Xiao Qian again.

"What are you doing in the pawnshop?" Xiao Qian is curious, Lin Yanyan is not so poor that he wants to pawn things to live, right?

Lin Yanyan hurriedly pulled Xiao Qian aside: "Are you on an errand in the yamen?" ”

"Yes, my father asked several of our princes to go to various ministries to experience, and I chose Shuntianfu." Xiao Qian didn't hide it from her, there was nothing to hide.

Lin Yanyan's eyes rolled: "Then can you do me a favor?" ”

"You say." If he borrows money, he still has some savings.

"Just now I saw someone from my house enter the pawn shop, I want to know what she did? Is it related to the recently stolen items in the house? ”

Xiao Qian thought for a while: "You wait for me in front of Xiangyi Building, and you have to invite me to dinner at noon." ”

"No problem, please ask your men to drink too." Lin Yanyan said generously.

Lin Yanyan went to Xiangyilou to ask for a private room to sit and wait, and it didn't take long for Xiao Qian to come and give her a list: "This is the item just received by the pawnshop, I have copied it all, you can take a look." ”

Lin Yanyan took the list and looked at it, and immediately became angry, what Qibao Turning Heart Bottle, glazed white jade cup, ten thousand pine stacked cuiduan inkstone...... These turned out to be the ornaments of Moyuan Pavilion, and she usually didn't pay attention to them, but she didn't know when they were taken away by the Yao family, and now they were taken to pawn in pawnshops, and they were still dead.

Death is not redeemed, five treasures, the market price is at least several thousand taels of silver, but only 1,600 taels, which is equivalent to selling to a pawnshop.

I'm angry, I'm angry.

Xiao Qian saw that her face was not good: "These can't really be the things you lost in your house, right?" ”

"It's all of them, and they were lost by Moyuan Pavilion."

Xiao Qian: "...... There was a thief in your Moyuan Pavilion, and you didn't find out until now? ”

Lin Yanyan turned his head and asked Tan Yun: "What about you, you don't know if you lose something at home, how can you be on an errand?" ”

Tan Yun was aggrieved: "Miss, there are so many things in Moyuan Pavilion, and the errands in Moyuan Pavilion in the past are all people assigned by the second lady, and the slave maid and Jinxin are only responsible for the young lady's diet and daily life, and the slave and maid really can't take care of it." ”

Xiao Qian groaned: "You go back and count it first, see what is missing, and then I will prepare a case for you in the yamen, maybe this thief will also pawn in other pawnshops, and then they will be confiscated together." ”

Only when the government files a case can he have the right to get things back from the pawnshop.

Lin Yanyan got up: "I'll go back and check." ”

Just go.

Xiao Qian: Uh...... What about a treat?

The shopkeeper brought wine and dried fruits in, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, that young lady has already paid fifty taels of silver, you can order as many drinks and dishes as you like." ”

Xiao Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly, it turned out to be this kind of hospitality method, and he also sent his subordinates to the tavern opposite to drink.

In Mingxiang Garden, Liu's mother handed over the silver ticket to Yao's and said regretfully: "Madam, a few inconspicuous objects can be bought at a good price when they are taken to an antique shop, but a few real treasures can only be pawned for 1,600 taels." ”

Yao counted the silver tickets: "It's only five thousand three hundred taels, which is too much difference." ”

"Ming'er, a slave, run again."

Yao sighed: "Relying on pawns is not enough to fill the deficit, it seems that I can only borrow it." ”

"Borrow?" Mother Liu was surprised, can Mrs. pull down her face to borrow money? And in case it is known by the old lady......

"Of course, you can't ask others to borrow it, you go back to Yao's house immediately, find the third master, and say that I have an urgent need, let him take 50,000 taels and turn around."

"Yes." Liu's mother should have responded, but she felt that this trip was also in vain, and the third master was so picky, not to mention 50,000 taels, 500 taels may not be willing to borrow.

As she was talking, the fourth lady Peng Peng walked in with an unhappy face: "Mother, the second sister always said that she would invite me to take me next time, and today she broke her promise." ”

"Where did your second sister go?" Yao's heart has been heavy these days, and he hasn't paid much attention to Zhen Zhen.

"Lord Qingrou has invited her to the princess's mansion."

Yao comforted her youngest daughter: "The princess's mansion is not something that can be taken casually, when your second sister becomes a relative, you can go to the Jin State Mansion to play, and you will be in time next year, there will be more entertainment, don't envy your second sister." ”

"There will be a long time next year, and no one will play with me in the house, so I'm bored to death."

"You can look for it."

"She won't play with me, she knows how to embroider."

"Mother, why don't I go to Yao's house with Liu's mother, I heard you let Liu's mother go back to Yao's house."

"Mother Liu is going to do something, I will ask your second sister to invite friends to come to your home in a few days, and then you can help your second sister entertain, and you can also meet more friends."

"Really?"

"Naturally it's true, when did my mother lie to you?"

Lin Pengpeng left happily, and as soon as he went out, the innocent smile on his face disappeared. Mother asked Mother Liu to go back to Yao's house to ask the third uncle to borrow money, and said that the only place in the family to use money now is to prepare the second sister's dowry. Mother actually prepared such a rich dowry for the second sister, 50,000 taels...... Maybe it's more.

Lin Pengpeng was indignant, her mother had always favored the second sister, and now the second sister was about to marry into the Guogong Mansion, and her mother was even more partial to the second sister.

Yao's also waited for Peng Peng to leave, and then reprimanded Yinhong with a straight face: "Let you watch the door, what do you think?" The fourth lady didn't know if she came. ”

I don't know how much Peng Peng heard.

Yinhong was terrified: "The slave and maid stopped it, but didn't stop it." ”

"I didn't stop it, I can't do this little thing, what's the use of you?"

"Madame spares her life, the slave knows that she is wrong."

Yao Shi said angrily: "There will be a next time, and the punishment will not be granted." ”
