It would have cost a lot of money for the princess's mansion to maintain its former glory, and Caixia proposed to go to the palace to do some work, which was another expense.

So today, Qin Huai and Mingyue are ready to go to the famous pawnshop in Xunyang to pawn some things that they can't use for the time being.

During this time, Qin Huai also made many attempts.

For example, the last time he scolded Li Que at the door, and cut the immortal with the seven-out Xiufu Li Xian. This is actually some hints to her father, she knows that her father has many eyes and ears in Xunyang City, and no matter where she goes, what trouble she has, someone will report to her father. She is gambling, betting that her father will not be able to rest assured of her.

Today, Qin Huai did not prepare to travel in casual clothes, but went to the pawnshop from the gate of the princess's mansion in a beautiful manner.

She wanted her father to know her predicament now, so that her father would soften his heart as soon as possible and take some measures to welcome her back to the palace.

The last time such a grand ceremony was held for the eldest brother, the news should have been transmitted back to the palace a long time ago.

Wouldn't her father and queen praise her for being sensible and obedient?

"Princess, these chairs are fine pear blossom wood. Is this going to be taken to a pawnshop? And this is also a thing in the palace, in case it is known that it is from your hands to the people, will it not be good for you. ”

Mingyue looked at the boxes and those fine furniture carried by the little guy behind her, and she was always a little relieved in her heart.

These are the old utensils of the princess's mansion, which were bought by the princess when the princess's mansion was established, and they were generally placed under the central nose for many years. Those little maids and maids basically don't know the goods, so these are ordinary wooden furniture, and they don't know their actual value.

"At this time, you can still take care of so much, and eating enough is the most important thing. If you don't have any silver in your hands, everything is for nothing, besides, those who can have this kind of vision must be dignitaries, or they are top wealthy businessmen, and there is no need to worry that they will really end up in the people. ”

No one knows better than Qin Huai about the matter of royal utensils, after all, what good things didn't end up flowing into her princess's mansion?

These officials at the bottom will choose some fresh and good things every year to pay tribute. It is actually difficult to say where these chairs really came from, and if there were really officials and princes who could find them, they would also find an opportunity to send them back to the palace.

This is the first time Qin Huai has gone out after returning to Xunyang, and it is a pleasure to be able to breathe the fresh air of Xunyang.

"Shopkeeper, you have to see clearly, this is a royal gift, where can there be fake, even if there is a little flaw, this price can't have such a gap."

Wanjindian is backed by Xunyang Fumai, located in the most prosperous street in the city, if it is placed on some specific days, Wanjin pawnshop can be described as a guest.

Qin Huai came early today, there didn't seem to be any merchants outside the pawn shop, and there weren't even a few helpers who started it, only the two voices of a man and a woman came into Qin Huai's ears.

"Agate is not worth more than jade, gold and silver, and this is just an old thing, even if I really buy it at a high price, I may not be able to sell it, this loss-making business girl should find another house."

This bargaining is the nature of a businessman, Qin Huai didn't take it to heart at first, but at this moment, the shopkeeper's really embarrassed tone seemed to be really unable to accept this girl's belongings.

"Eh, you...... Shopkeeper, your pawnshop is the biggest one in Xunyang City, if you don't dare to accept it, where will I vote it. Let me tell you the truth, this is a blood jade agate, since I said that it is a gift from the emperor, I will not lie to you, and this hairpin is still from the hand of the previous palace Shanggong. ”

The agate hairpin from the hand of the previous Shang Gong?

The surname of Shanggong was Su, she was originally a female history from the dining room, if she hadn't been Shanggong, it would have been impossible to make hairpins.

And there were very few gestures handled by her, since the woman said that it was a gift from the emperor, Qin Huai wanted to see it.

She and Mingyue crept into the side hall and glanced at the two people in the room from a distance. The man is called the shopkeeper, but he is still young, and the woman looks ordinary and looks very ordinary, so how can such a person get the royal gift.

Qin Huai looked at the woman's agate hairpin from a distance, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt.

The red agate on this hairpin is dull in color, not as bright as ordinary agate, and looks like a pomegranate with its belly stretched open from the carving technique and shape. And the Loujin chassis that holds the agate is small......

The pomegranate represents many sons and many blessings, and it has always been a good blessing to the concubines, and it is also regarded as a treasured treasure by those concubines.

And in the palace, she seems to have really seen such an agate hairpin.

Concubine Mo Yunlan, that is, the mother concubine of the second prince Qin Xuanlang, has such a branch.

She was also a dancing queen of the Yan family, because she was sent to the palace first, and later Emperor Fu ascended the throne and was crowned a concubine, but after the mother came, her good life came to an end.

Mo Yunlan's temperament is not the kind that his father likes, if he is not from the Yan family, he is the person sent to the palace by the Yan family, it is estimated that he will not be favored by his father. If it weren't for Qin Xuanlang, who she gave birth to later, she wouldn't have been made a concubine.

Because her mother didn't like her, she made things difficult for her everywhere. Naturally, the father and emperor have even less favor for Mo Yunlan. This agate hairpin was made by her predecessor Shang Gong when she was favored at the time, she has always liked it very much, and she wears it on her head every day, and she used to pull it off and play with it when she was a child.

But how could such a thing be in the hands of this woman?

"Bright Moon."

Qin Huai instructed Mingyue with his ear and asked her to go and meet this woman.

Mingyue comprehended, read Qin Huai's words silently, and then lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Since this young lady said that it is a thing in the palace, then the thing in the palace always has a suitable name, right? Doesn't this hairpin have a nice name? ”

Following Mingyue's steps, the two people in the room were startled, obviously not expecting that a third person would hear their conversation.

"This hairpin is called Baizi Pomegranate!"

The woman in purple had a worse and worse attitude, and when she saw someone questioning it, she was even more displeased.

Mingyue had a task on her side, so she naturally ignored the attitude of the woman in purple, and then repeated.

"I just listened to the conversation between the two of you outside the door, I think this is a good seed, can the young lady lend me a look? If it's right, I'll buy it. ”

The woman looked Mingyue up and down, as if she saw that Mingyue's dress did not look like someone who would pay a high price, so she squinted her eyes and reminded.

"Since the girl has just heard the conversation between me and the shopkeeper, then you should know that the price of this blood jade agate is very expensive, and it is not the price that ordinary people can offer."

Mingyue has won Qin Huai's true biography in acting, she took out the appearance of imitating Qin Huai on weekdays, and looked at the agate hairpin left and right and pretended to be relaxed.

"Don't worry about the price, if I like it, I can buy it even if it's a thousand dollars. It's just that you said that this is a gift from the emperor, and if it is a stolen stolen stolen thing, I will not accept it, and the thing I want must be innocent and traceable. ”

Accused of the unknown origin of the agate hairpin, the woman became excited at once, but she regained her senses after a moment of nervousness and took the hairpin back.

"If the girl really likes it, I can sell it to you at a lower price, but if the girl is just joining in the fun, I will not accompany you."

The woman tried to leave, but was blocked by Mingyue.

"What are you nervous about, could it be that your hairpin was really stolen?"

"What are you doing? Are you still ready to buy and sell? ”

The woman's heart panicked, and her voice trembled.

Qin Huai saw clearly outside, the more the woman was unwilling to admit it, the more wrong the way this hairpin came from.

Baizi pomegranate, this is the name of the concubine's hairpin, then this must be the object of the concubine, and it seems that the woman is not the maid in the palace......

can let a little girl come to Xunyang's largest pawn shop to pawn the pearl hairpin, and her courage must not be like she was stolen and picked up, which shows that she is entrusted by others, but she doesn't want to be discovered.

It seems that Qin Huai is not the only one in the palace who is strapped for money.

The second prince collaborated with the enemy and treason, and was suspected of rebellion. In the end, he didn't even enter the royal mausoleum, and his biological mother Mo Yunlan's situation in the palace can be imagined.

Perhaps it was due to the influence of his mother, but also because Qin Xuanlang was not prepared to show mercy to her subordinates, Qin Huai did not have a good impression of this concubine.

Although the attitude between the two of them has eased after the death of the mother concubine, the pain and shame of the past have not been forgotten by Qin Huai, the violent person, and how can Mo Yunlan, the suffering person, be easily exposed?

After a few stalemates, Mingyue felt that it was almost over, so she eased up a little, "The shopkeeper just gave fifty taels, and I gave twenty taels." ”

"What do you mean!"

Seeing that the bid was getting lower and lower, the woman was even more confused, thinking that Mingyue was here to make trouble.

And the shopkeeper didn't see the situation right, and was about to step forward to stop it, but was blocked by Mingyue's next sentence.

"Then ten taels is good, anyway, you go out with this thing and see if the officers and soldiers will arrest you, stealing items in the palace is a big crime, and it is also a felony for the palace people to quietly transport them out for sale, you can try."

Mingyue looked horrified at this moment, and her tone was solemn, not at all like a joke.

"You...... Sell it, sell it, and get the money quickly. ”

Qin Huai looked at the girl and was almost frightened, and couldn't help but feel as if she was just a person who did things on behalf of others, and if she messed up, she would be scolded, but she didn't just take her life, she really knew the times.

Mingyue took the hairpin with satisfaction, took out five taels of broken silver from her purse, and slapped it on the woman's hand.

"It's clear that it's five taels, how can you talk and not talk!"

The woman was about to regret it, and reached out to marry and rob, but Mingyue vigorously pinched her ear, and the pain was unbearable.

"Since you know that I don't talk or don't go quickly, if I run slowly, I will be overtaken."

With that, Mingyue threw her back violently and stared at her with a smile on her face.

"You!"

The good woman didn't suffer the loss in front of her, and the woman stomped her foot hard and thought she was unlucky, so she left.

Seeing this, Qin Huai hurriedly hid behind the door, unnoticed by him.

Five taels of silver bought the guilt of the concubine, it is cost-effective, it is too cost-effective!
