In this court, it is divided into the faction of Prince Gu Hanjing and the faction of King Gu Zhanling, who are happy on the surface, but in fact they are fighting openly and secretly, either you die or I live.

And her father, Wen Cheng, has an arrogant temperament, disdains to be in the same stream with the two teams, and always maintains a neutral attitude, not giving either side a chance.

At this time, she Wen Xian'an became a caged bird and became the object of contention between the two parties, but she was just a woman, powerless, and could not set off any storms at all, and could only be suppressed by others.

Under the strong attack of the two, they had no choice but to choose to dodge, but it was not a way to avoid the problem all the time.

Wen Xian'an knocked on the table with one hand, she didn't believe it, a person who has lived for a lifetime can't fight this group of people.

Wen Xian'an understands that if you want to survive and fight against the other party, you must have your own power.

But this requires a lot of silver, relying on her meager monthly income, it will not work at all, thinking of this, Wen Xian'an got up, stacked all the valuable things in the room on the table, and estimated that it was worth a few thousand taels of silver.

Qingling walked over and said puzzledly, "Miss, what are you doing here?" ”

Wen Xian'an replied while packing his baggage: "Pawn, I need a lot of silver." ”

Hearing this, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he spoke.

"Miss, if you need silver, just ask the master directly, why bother."

Wen Xian'an shook her head, she didn't think about it, but before she didn't have any ability, the fewer people who knew about it, the better, Wen Cheng loved her, and categorically wouldn't let her act in person, if this matter was discovered by others, her plan would be in vain.

The goal of the burden is too obvious, and if you swagger out of the house, it will definitely attract the attention of the guards at the door.

Wen Xian'an thought for a while, handed the packed burden to Qingling, and instructed: "You put this burden in the hole in the corner of the old mansion, remember not to let people notice." ”

Although Qingling was puzzled, he still suppressed the doubts in his heart, nodded and took the burden, and covered it with his sleeves.

"Miss, don't worry."

After leaving lightly, Wen Xian'an changed into clothes, covered her face with a veil, and sat on a chair to wait.

Time passed little by little, Wen Xian'an clenched her hands, sweating slightly, and glanced out of the door from time to time.

Just as she was about to get up and go out to take a look, a light voice finally came in.

"Miss, everything is done."

Qingling, who was dressed in a green shirt, entered the house, Wen Xian'an breathed a sigh of relief, and said unhurriedly: "Qingling, clean up, let's go out of the house." ”

The two walked to the front door, where two guards guarded the door, and the light spirit shook the token of leaving the house in front of the two.

Out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wen Xian'an looked around to make sure that there was no one, so he led Qingling to the entrance of the cave and took out the baggage.

After getting the baggage, the next thing is to look for a pawnshop, if she remembers correctly, there is a pawnshop in the corner of the east of the city, not far from here.

Wen Xian'an turned a corner, followed closely by Qingling, and entered the alley alley, which is sparsely populated, one is not easy to detect, and the other is to the end of this alley alley, and then walk a few steps to the left, which is the pawnshop.

Sure enough, I walked to the end of the alley, looked to the left, and could vaguely see the three words of the classical hall, Wen Xian'an came to the door of the store, the door opened a small crack, and a small flat card was hung, on which the word "please enter".

The eastern part of the city is relatively remote, and there are not many people walking around, except for the customers who come to pawn, not even beggars begging here.

Reaching out and pushing the door open, Wen Xian'an raised his feet and walked in, the light in the room was dim, the sunlight was projected on the ground through the cracks in the window, and the dust floating in the air could be faintly seen.

Wen Xian'an frowned, came to the counter, there was a small round window on it, Wen Xian'an looked inside, except for the dark one, he couldn't see anything, and said carefully: "Excuse me, is anyone there?" ”

No one responded.

Wen Xian'an's eyebrows frowned, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart, could it be that no one was there?

After hesitating for a moment, Wen Xian'an was about to leave, when a dry and hoarse voice came from the window,

"Girl, are you here to pawn?"

A candlelight rose in front of the window, and the whole room was much brighter, and Wen Xian'an saw clearly that there was an old man in the window, with gray hair, wrinkles on his face, and a long white beard.

Wen Xian'an smiled, put the burden on the counter, and said respectfully: "Senior, how much do you think I'm worth?" ”

The old man stretched out his hand to pull the bag into the window, touched the hand ornament inside with his hand, and carefully placed it under the candle to look at it, and said: "These jewels are all of the highest quality, presumably the girl is noble, and she must not be an ordinary person." ”

Wen Xian'an's eyes sank, but he didn't expect the old man to have some means, Wen Xian'an smiled softly, and was not polite, stretched out five fingers, and said, "Then you see, is it worth this number." ”

Wen Xian'an naturally has some eyebrows about pawns, ordinary pawnshops are naturally not easy to fool, the old man smiled, put the burden aside, touched his beard and said: "The girl is amazing, this price is really worth it, but the pawnshop is smaller, and you can't take out so much silver for a while, you take this token to the money bank to get it." ”

He took the token from the old man's hand, and there was a note with five thousand taels of silver written on it, and the token was a dark green leaf, and if you looked closely, you could see the lines of the leaf.

"Then thank you seniors."

Wen Xian'an took the token into his arms and was about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something, turned back to the counter, and asked: "Looking at the age of the old-timers, I have been in this imperial city for some years, and I must be very familiar with other places, if you want to buy a shop in this imperial city, where should you be better." ”

The old man looked Wen Xian'an up and down through the window, and said: "If you want to be more stable, you can choose any shop, if you want to make a lot of money, you naturally have to go to the wicked street, where there are rich people buying and selling." ”

On the street of the wicked, Wen Xian'an's eyes darkened, she didn't seem to have heard much.

After thanking the old man, Wen Xian'an led the light spirit to prepare to go to the money village to withdraw the money first, and then go to see the legendary wicked street.

Looking at Wen Xian'an's figure gradually moving away, the old man shook his head and said, "You little girl, this wicked street is not so easy to treat. ”

With the token, Wen Xian'an came to the money bank, which is a place to store silver, and everyone can store their inexhaustible silver in the money bank, and then take it with the token.

They were greeted by a small servant, who led them into the counter, where sat a middle-aged man with a long beard, fiddling with an abacus in his hand, and from time to time jotting down numbers on paper with a pen.
