Chapter 17 Posture
Outside the city, a horse-drawn carriage sped by, sweeping the fallen leaves across the ground.
"Big brother, is this really okay?"
The man who spoke frowned, looking bitter and hateful.
"What can you do if you don't do this, you melon baby, greed is not enough to swallow elephants!"
Gu Jingzhan raised his hand and hit the brim of Ergou's hat mercilessly, he stared intently at the shop in front of him, and tightened the polished treasure knife in his hand.
"Big brother, I don't know how to carry it so much, I still won money before."
Ergou knew that he had done something wrong, lowered his head, raised his hand and put the jade pendant around his neck into the collar of his clothes. Yesterday, he saw that it was so easy for Gu Jingzhan to win money, and on a whim, he hid it from Gu Jingzhan, took the silver he won, and touched the casino again. Who knew that with the same field and the same routine, he lost directly.
"Hmph."
Gu Jingzhan didn't bother to say anything, he cleared his throat and strode into the Jingtai pawnshop.
"Pawn left!"
As soon as he entered the door, the little brother who ran the hall shouted, and behind the high counter, only the back of a jade-crowned young man and the sound of crackling abacus could be seen.
"Come on, make a pot of tea for you!"
As soon as he entered the door, Gu Jingzhan threw his shoulders and threw the sword on the high platform casually, the sword fell to the ground, and there was a loud noise, making the already quiet pawnshop even more silent.
has been a bandit for so long, and he still has a little bit of the ability to find fault and make trouble.
"Master, ...... you are"
Xiao Er glanced at Gao Yi who was standing behind the cabinet, Gao Yi nodded slightly, and Xiao Er hurriedly served two cups of hot tea.
"Can't you see it, I want to be a thing!"
Gu Jingzhan raised his eyebrows, but he looked confident. Gao Yi held down the rolling abacus, patted the dust on his body, and walked out from behind the counter slowly with his hands behind his back.
"Hiss~"
Ergou unconsciously hid behind Gu Jingzhan, somehow, he was obviously a thin and weak person, how could he exude such a terrifying cold air around his body, he always felt that this person seemed to have crawled out of a grave, and there was no breath of a living person around him.
"How much silver do you want to be this son?"
In the past few days, Gao Yi took over the pawnshop, the historical ledger was burned out, and Xiao Si did not listen to the call, he sorted out the ledger today, and he was worried that he could not find a way to rectify it, who knew that Gu Jingzhan just ran into Gao Yike's muzzle.
"One hundred taels of silver."
Gu Jingzhan crossed Erlang's legs, looking like I am an uncle, no one should mess with me, I don't know where to find a toothpick, and I picked my teeth without any image.
"Brother Li, please take it for inspection, what is so special about this knife, it can be used as so much silver."
Gao Yi was not in a hurry, he just picked up the treasure knife on the high platform and handed it to Li Lai, who was in charge of the long eyes on the side.
"No anomalies observed."
Li Laigan has been in this line for many years, this person is obviously here to knock on the bamboo, from the moment he just entered the door, it is very clear, not to mention this knife, not to mention the blade for a long time, even the blade has many gaps, it can be seen that the years are long, this is not an antique calligraphy and painting, this long-term broken knife, has long been worthless.
"Is it worth a hundred taels?"
Gao Yike's voice is not abnormal at all, but it reveals the slightest playfulness.
"The copper plate is twenty and full."
Li Lai lowered his head, but he was telling the truth. These twenty copper plates, he still said more.
"Guest, do you hear me?"
Gao Yi held his hands behind his back, standing upright in front of the man, and as soon as his words fell, a sharp short sword was pressed against Gao Yike's chest.
"Oh? I said it's worth a hundred taels, what does the shopkeeper think? ”
The murderous aura on Gu Jingzhan's body was not concealed at all, and in an instant, Gao Yike's neck was already bloody, but Gao Yike didn't even wrinkle his eyebrows, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Pawnshops have pawnshop rules, and there is still a difference between being a pawnshop and robbing something."
Instead of retreating, Gao Yi took two steps forward, forcing Gu Jingzhan straight into a corner.
Gu Jingzhan was a little hesitant with the knife, not that he didn't dare to kill, but he never thought that he would kill a Wenruo scholar for money, and all the time he came, he boasted that those who died under his knife were all evil ghosts.
The knife enters the meat for three points, and the height can be high, but it does not retreat at all.
On the other end, Zhao Haitang, who was grounded, sniffled.
"Ahh
She tightened the clothes on her body, not to mention anything else in this dark room, it was really cold.
In the room, there is only one incense case, on which the Bodhisattva is enshrined, as well as melons, fruits, pears and peaches. Underneath the incense table, there is a dusty futon.
"It seems that this princess doesn't punish her subordinates for closing the darkroom on weekdays, I'm really unlucky."
Zhao Haitang picked up an apple on the incense table and wiped it on his clothes at will, which was considered to be washed. Cross-legged, sat straight on the futon, and ate it with a click.
"Miss Zhao, that fruit is for the Bodhisattva."
Behind him, a woman's voice sounded faintly, if it was someone else, in such a dark place, hearing such a voice, the soul was afraid that it would be frightened, but Zhao Haitang was not surprised at all, and he didn't even bother to turn his head back.
"The Bodhisattva is so merciful and compassionate, how can he be as knowledgeable as me."
Another big bite down, the original round apple, has been missing a small half.
"Miss Zhao is really temperamental, but it's a pity that your refreshing temperament has changed in the eyes of the princess."
The person who came was holding a mink in his arms, and his eyes were full of smiles.
"County Lord, you are really sweet."
Zhao Haitang made a color towards the mink in Song Chaoyan's arms, but Song Chaoyan didn't hide his intentions, and handed her the cotton clothes directly.
"Miss Zhao, I believe that Miss Zhao is by no means a jealous person, but this Miss Tang is in the right position, and she can't do anything to wronged Miss Zhao."
Song Chaoyan leaned over slightly, his words were full of concern, but his eyes were full of calculations.
"She, Tang Yuru, is something, I definitely won't take her in my eyes."
The corners of Zhao Haitang's mouth raised slightly, in his previous life, he had calculated all his life in this Shen Mansion, and he hadn't learned anything else. Right now, Song Chaoyan is running over tirelessly, and it will definitely not be as simple as just sending her a quilt. If she doesn't say a few fake "truths", how can she rest assured that she will communicate with her.
"Miss Zhao don't want to underestimate the enemy, this princess is also a good means, my cousin returned home, and when asked about it, she passed smoothly, Miss Zhao, you didn't get it at all."
Song Chaoyan's eyes were full of pity, and the slightly cool hand was covered on the back of Zhao Haitang's hand, which made her feel a little cold.
"Lord Wang...... Hey, I have admired him for many years, even if he doesn't appreciate it, I will never blame him, I only complain about this Tang Yuru, full of bad scenes. ”
Under the faint light, Song Chaoyan couldn't see Zhao Haitang's expression clearly, but listened to her tone, sad and complaining, and her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was sobbing.
"Don't hide it from my sister, Xing'er was also wronged this time, I watched it from the side, Zhen'er was real, the princess went straight to Xing'er's arms, Xing'er also can't hide, Sister Zhao, don't blame my sister for not standing up and speaking just now, this is my cousin's family matter after all, I just stayed in the house, it's really inconvenient to interfere too much."
Song Chaoyan took Zhao Haitang's hand, looking like a good sister, she raised her hand slightly, Xu wanted to help Zhao Haitang wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Zhao Haitang tilted her head slightly and quietly dodged.
She hasn't been raining for a long time, and when she wipes it, won't it be all exposed.
Zhao Haitang picked up a handkerchief and covered his face, pretending to wipe his tears, blocking everyone's expressions.
"How could my sister blame my sister, if it wasn't for my sister saying it to me, I would still be in the dark, thinking about how to teach Xing'er that dead girl a lesson when I go back, and when my sister said this, I knew who to seek revenge from."
Zhao Haitang deliberately made a gritted teeth, glaring at him, trying to look a little angry.
"Sister, I'm angry, family and everything is prosperous, isn't it?"
Song Chaoyan looked empathetic at the moment, didn't she just say bad things about Tang Yuru?
"Sister, don't say it, my sister can't bear this breath."
Zhao Haitang shook off Song Chaoyan's outstretched hand, and said that he had said it, and the play was also acted, so it was time to leave, right?
Song Chaoyan made a helpless look and sighed slightly.
"Sister, my sister won't stay long, so I'll go back first."
"Sister walks slowly."
Zhao Haitang wrapped the mink fur sent by Song Chaoyan, hmm...... It's really much warmer.
Didn't Song Chaoyan pounce on Lei Du, what did he do to provoke her? But it seems that she really wants Zhao Haitang to hate Tang Yuru, so what is her purpose?
Zhao Haitang raised his head slightly, looked at the Bodhisattva on the incense case, and fell into deep thought.
Outside the dark room, Lei Du, who had been standing secretly on the wall, turned his head slightly, and Song Chaoyan ran a few steps quickly, panting slightly, and his improvement was surprisingly good.
"Brother Lei, it's hard for Brother Lei to send me over, the road is slippery here, and I really don't dare to go alone."
"It doesn't matter."
Song Chaoyan's voice was crisp and bright, but Lei Du's face was not very good.
Just now, Zhao Haitang's infatuated look at Shen Zhi, he could see it clearly.
Tang Yuru scolded her for closing the dark room, Shen Zhi didn't say a word of gracies, but in order to make Tang Yuru happy, she made fun of her, she was good, not only was she not angry, but she also looked like she was as deep as the sea, and she didn't dare to complain about the prince, but she really wanted to vomit blood alive!
Zhao Haitang is the treasure of General Zhao's palm when she is a child, from childhood to adulthood, no matter what mistakes she makes, General Zhao has never punished her, how did she get this Shen Mansion within a few days, and she was imprisoned in such a place!
"Brother Lei, are you hungry, otherwise let's go eat something together."
Song Chaoyan stretched out his hand and grabbed Lei Du's sleeve, Lei Du had a black face and shook her off.
If he wasn't worried about Zhao Haitang and inconvenient to visit because of her status as a side concubine, how could he agree to send this unruly princess over.
Lei Du strode towards the front hall, not minding Song Chaoyan behind him at all.
