Chapter 33 Childe is idle

The weather in June is unpredictable, and before falling asleep, I thought that the sun would be shining again, but when I woke up, there was a downpour.

The rain was very strong, and a layer of white rain mist was splashed on the roof and in the courtyard, like an ethereal white veil.

Pomegranate listened to the sound of the rain, got up slowly, and then slowly finished breakfast, and the rain outside stopped.

The construction site is about to start if it doesn't rain, and Pomegranate Hua is about to go to the construction site, when Fang Er knocks on the door and says that Zhan Hengyi invited her over.

When he came to Zhan Hengyi's house, the eldest prince was practicing calligraphy.

To be exact, he was squatting on the ground and writing in large letters.

On the ground of Zhan Hengyi's house, there are two white cloths that are two feet wide and more than one zhang long, one of which has eight big characters written on it, and at this moment the owner of the house is waving a pen on the second white cloth.

Seeing this scene, Pomegranate thought to herself that this eldest son was really good Yaxing, and he thought it was too boring to sit and write, so he had to squat on the ground to write, but wouldn't this be a bit too wasteful of cloth?

"Little pomegranate girl, come and see how I write this word!" Zhan Hengyi was elated and beckoned Pomegranate to come over to see what he wrote.

Pomegranate flower walked to the first white cloth, only to see the above written "unscrupulous profiteers, fish and meat township", the pen is strong, the ink is even, very powerful through the "paper" back feeling, can't help but praise: "good." ”

Zhan Hengyi knew that Pomegranate Flower didn't know how to read, and this "good" was just said casually, but he didn't mind, and asked Pomegranate Flower to come and see the second painting he had just finished writing.

This white cloth reads "Do many evils, and heaven is intolerable", and it is also full of pen and ink, and iron and silver hooks.

"Brother Zhan, what are you writing this for?" Pomegranate Hua wondered, suspecting that the eldest prince was afraid that he had taken the wrong medicine today, and he was so bitter and hateful when he practiced a word.

"It's a nice day." Zhan Hengyi answered the question, looked at the two large characters on the ground and nodded with satisfaction.

Pomegranate blossom looked out of the window, the rain was clear, the sun was shining, the weather seemed to be good, but this has something to do with the words you wrote!

"It is suitable to punish evil and promote good." Zhan Hengyi said the second half of the sentence slowly.

Today's weather is good, which is suitable for punishing evil and promoting good!

Pomegranate chewed these two sentences repeatedly, but still did not find any inevitable connection between the two.

Zhan Hengyi looked at her ignorantly, couldn't help but roll his eyelids, and said, "I have nothing to do, just go to the pawnshop to redeem my jade pendant." ”

As soon as he said this, the pomegranate blossom was like an empowerment, and the feeling was that this son was idle and panicked, and he was going to find Zhang Dahe's stubble.

Okay, it's idle anyway, and if you find fault, you can find fault, but what are you doing when you write these two big characters?

Zhan Hengyi smiled but did not answer, looking unfathomable.

Pomegranate pouted, yes, I'm going to play a little girl again!

When the ink was almost dry, Zhan Hengyi asked Fang Er to roll up the two white cloths and take them, and the three of them went downstairs to board the carriage and went to the Shunfa pawnshop.

At the beginning of the shower, the sky is exceptionally clear, and the air still smells moist and fresh.

It was probably because of being stuck at home in the morning, and people were coming out of the house.

On both sides of the street, vendors have set up stalls, carrying cages to walk birds, baskets to buy vegetables, abounding, but more lively than usual at this time.

The carriage stopped in front of the Shunfa pawnshop, and a man came out of it scolding: "Fuck the black-hearted pawnshop, Lao Tzu's pawn is obviously the deadline today, but he said that Lao Tzu will not be redeemed if it expires." If you make too much money without conscience, you will one day be punished. ”

The money shopkeeper of the pawnshop chased him out and scolded behind him: "Phew, a bad gambler who even took out his daughter-in-law's dowry also has a face to curse, and you will be punished first." ”

"Lao Tzu took his daughter-in-law's gold hairpin pawn and turned it over, and if he has money, he will redeem it immediately, this is my family affair, and I have a fart relationship with you. Aren't you going to send pawnshops to pit people once or twice, eating people without spitting out bones, which neighbors don't know? The man scolded angrily.

Pedestrians passing by on the street heard it and gathered around to see the excitement.

The shopkeeper looked at the man coldly, and said very arrogantly: "Our Shunfa pawnshop has always paid attention to the willingness of pawns, and the trade is fair. ”

The man opened his mouth to scold, and heard a clear male voice from behind him, "Is it fair to wait for me to redeem the jade pendant, if not, the yamen will naturally go", and hurriedly shut up.

The voice fell, smiling, and the elegant and gentle Zhan Hengyi got out of the carriage.

After the onlookers saw his appearance clearly, they all called out for a handsome and noble son!

Zhan Hengyi stepped out of the carriage, and the pomegranate flower also followed.

The money shopkeeper saw Zhan Hengyi at first, and at first wondered when such a noble son had been received in the pawnshop, and when the pomegranate flower got off the carriage, he immediately reacted and hurriedly walked back to the pawnshop.

The man who was the first to scold saw that Zhan Hengyi was not an ordinary person, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked politely, "Has this son also pawned something in this pawnshop?" Valuable or not?

Zhan Hengyi didn't know when there was an extra folding fan in his hand, and he opened the folding fan with a "swish", and replied casually: "A few days ago, the silver didn't come together, I asked the maid to pawn a jade pendant here, and the shopkeeper only sold it for three hundred taels, and my jade pendant was actually worth three thousand taels, and I came to redeem it today." ”

The people around heard that the jade pendant was worth three thousand taels of silver, and there was a "wow" sound, and they all said that this son's origin was not simple.

The man listened to Zhan Hengyi's words, his eyes showed joy, and he said earnestly: "Son, your jade pendant is estimated to be redeemed!" This is the consistent trick of the Shunfa pawnshop, expensive and cheap, waiting for you to redeem, and not letting you redeem it under various excuses. The owner of the pawnshop and the county magistrate are cousins in law, and it is useless to sue the official. ”

Zhan Hengyi smiled slightly, his expression relaxed, "It doesn't work, it depends on who sues." ”

After finishing speaking, he raised his feet and walked towards the pawnshop.

Fang Er and Pomegranate Hua followed him, and when the man saw this, he didn't go away, just watched in front of the shop.

Zhan Hengyi entered the pawnshop and shook the fan comfortably.

Since you are here to find fault, you don't have to be polite, Pomegranate took out the pawn ticket and walked to the counter, slapped the pawn ticket on it with a "snap", and shouted: "Redeem it." ”

The money shopkeeper had already prepared, so he didn't hurry up and picked up the pawn ticket and glanced at it, crackling and fiddling with the abacus, "There is a blessed jade pendant for life, three hundred taels of silver, three or two points of interest, less than one month according to the whole month, a total of three hundred and nine taels and six dollars." ”

Pomegranate Hua took out the silver ticket, slapped it on the counter again, and said proudly: "Here are three hundred and ten taels, don't look for it, my son-in-law will invite you to drink tea for the four coins of silver." ”

"Thank you, old man." The money shopkeeper put away the pawn ticket and silver ticket with a smirk, and then took out a small brocade box and put it in front of the pomegranate flower, "Girl, this is the jade pendant you pawned, please put it away." ”

Pomegranate opened the brocade box and looked at it, frowned and asked the shopkeeper: "Are you mistaken, this is not the jade pendant I used as a piece." ”

"Girl, don't be kidding." The shopkeeper didn't smile, and said calmly: "When it is clearly written on the ticket, it is a lifelong blessed jade pendant, doesn't the girl recognize the pattern on the jade pendant?" ”

Pomegranate Hua sneered and slammed the brocade box on the counter, "The pattern is the same, but the foundation of the jade pendant is not half a star, who are you fooling with fakes?" ”

Zhan Hengyi, who was shaking his fan on the side, spoke up at the right time, "Pomegranate flower, what's wrong with the jade pendant?" ”

"Childe, this pawnshop is really a black shop, and it collects money but uses fakes to fool us." The pomegranate flower was inserted and looked at the shopkeeper angrily, looking quite spicy.

"Girl, don't be a fool, this is obviously the jade pendant you pawned, but it is clearly written on the pawn ticket." The face of the money shopkeeper did not change color, and he insisted that the jade pendant in the brocade box was the one brought by the pomegranate flower.

Zhan Hengyi didn't stand by at this time, closed the fan and came over to the counter to pick up the brocade box and open it to take a look, and suddenly became furious, "My son's jade pendant is carved from the best Hetian jasper, you dare to use such an inferior thing to pretend to be, so deceive customers, is there any royal law in your eyes?" ”

Fang Er also followed, stretched out his head to glance at the brocade box in Zhan Hengyi's hand, pointed at the money shopkeeper and scolded: "You old guy is not small, you dare to hack my son-in-law's things, if you don't smash your store today, you don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has." ”

The crowd of onlookers outside the pawnshop saw that they were arguing and swarmed in.

The money shopkeeper was calm, and looked at the master and servant coldly: "You said that the jade pendant in the box is not the one used to pawn, how can you prove it?" ”

As he asked, the people who squeezed in focused their eyes on the three masters and servants.

This is a false proposition, and there is no answer at all.

When Pomegranate came to pawn the jade pendant, there was only herself and the shopkeeper in the pawnshop in the store, and no third-party personnel were present. Where is that jade pendant?

The human and material evidence is incomplete, and both sides have their own opinions, which becomes a headless public case.

If you are someone else, you can only suffer a dumb loss and consider yourself unlucky, but since they are here to find fault with pomegranate flowers today, they will naturally not forget it.
