Wen Yiheng sat up straight and said seriously: "Listen to me." ”

Su Jiudong said first, and first gave Wen Yiheng a preventive vaccination: "If the plan I think of is implemented, it will take some time, so we can only push back the time when we return to Beijing." If you want to adopt it, you need to be well prepared. ”

Wen Yiheng said briskly: "It doesn't matter if the time to delay returning to Beijing is not important, as long as the current dilemma of drought in the west can be solved, the time can be postponed." ”

Su Jiudong immediately revealed his plan to Wen Yihenghe, and the leisure time in the afternoon slipped away in the discussion between the two.

After discussing with Su Jiudong, Wen Yiheng asked Shi Yiqing to secretly raise a plan together, but he did not leave behind the disaster relief.

Wen Yiheng took out the silver taels donated by the officials, and sent people to Liangzhou City, Guannei Province to buy grain, rice and noodles, and transport them back to the Western Surrender City, so that the grain in the city was sufficient and the grain price was stabilized. A porridge shop was set up to provide relief to the victims.

Wen Yiheng set up a clever plan to make the original stingy officials "enthusiastically" donate, and raised the silver taels needed for disaster relief, which was wiped out by Shi Yiqing who gave Wen Yiheng the red cross in his heart, and reaffirmed Wen Yiheng's wisdom and personality.

When Wen Yiheng and Shi Yiqing were busy with disaster relief, Su Jiudong was not idle.

Six days after discussing with Wen Yiheng, Su Jiudong sat in front of the dressing mirror and painted his face yellow and black to cover up his overly white complexion.

Then he changed the shape of his eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil, and put on two whiskers, and after changing into a Taoist robe, he looked like a thin monk.

Su Jiudong, who was known as "Shanxiu Daoren", came to Wen Yiheng's study, ordered someone to carefully put the treasures collected by Wen Yiheng into his bag, and then left Qincha Xingyuan and went to the most famous Wanyin pawnshop in Xishou City.

When he was about to arrive at the street where Wanyin Pawnshop was located, Su Jiudong deliberately stopped a passer-by and asked for directions: "Amitayus Blessing... Dare to ask this little brother, how to go to Wanyin Pawnshop? ”

Passers-by asked enthusiastically: "Dao Chief, but you want to ask Wanyin Pawnshop?" ”

Su Jiudong bowed to the little brother who was passing by, and replied in a thick voice, "Exactly." The poor road passes through here, and there is no money. I don't know that there is a drought in the city, and now I am in a hurry to use money, so I want to find a pawnshop to pawn things for silver. ”

"Walk along the main road, turn left in front of you, and the first family with the word 'hidden' flag is the one."

The passer-by brother also saw the Taoist priest go to the pawnshop for the first time, so he kindly suggested: "If you want to go to the pawnshop to exchange things for silver for emergency use, then I still advise you to go and move to other houses, but don't go to Wanyin pawnshop to be slaughtered." ”

Su Jiudong pretended not to know, raised his voice and asked, "Don't go to Wanyin pawnshop to be slaughtered, what is this saying?" Pawnshops are all doing the same business, and going to pawnshops is to exchange things for money to solve urgent needs. Isn't it the same way to be squeezed and slaughtered wherever you go? ”

"Whew! There is nothing to say, it is just that the hidden boss of the Wanyin pawnshop is used to cheating people, and he is more ruthless than other pawnshops to pit people. ”

The little brother of the passer-by enthusiastically popularized science to Su Jiudong: "The hidden boss of Wanyin Pawnshop is a rich man with a head and face in our western surrender city. He was originally Rong Di's descendant, but after he surrendered, there was someone behind him, and he bullied us ordinary people everywhere. ”

"If you go to his house to be a thing, even if it is a rare treasure in your hand, he will promise to reduce your things to worthless waste, and rely on the price to deceive people. It doesn't matter if you are a child of an official family or not, you will be treated equally. ”

The passer-by lowered his voice and persuaded: "So I advise you, if you are really in a hurry to use money, you should move to another pawnshop." ”

Su Jiudong chuckled: "So that's the case... Just now, little brother, you said, even rare treasures will be degraded to worthlessness by the hidden boss? ”

Su Jiudong patted the small bag hanging in front of him, and said proudly: "It just so happens that the things that Poor Dao wants to pawn in his hand can also be called rare treasures, and Poor Dao still wants to meet this hidden boss for a while." ”

Seeing Su Jiudong striding towards Wanyin Pawnshop, the passer-by caught up with Su Jiudong's pace, and still kindly advised: "The road is long, I'm not joking." If you really want to take rare treasures to his pawn shop, you will really be cheated. ”

The passer-by brother looked at the small bag in Su Jiudong's arms, looked back at Su Jiudong's face, and reminded him for the last time: "At that time, if you are cheated by the hidden boss, and the silver you pawn back is not enough, don't blame me for not reminding you earlier." ”

Su Jiudong nodded with a smile, his dripping eyes quickly looked at the passers-by around him, and raised his voice: "Thank you little brother for pointing the way and reminding me, I am very grateful." However, Poor Dao still wants to see how this hidden boss is cheating. ”

After that, Su Jiudong imitated the man's walk and paced slowly. There were several official children who heard Su Jiudong's conversation with the passer-by brother, and saw that Su Jiudong was really going to Wanyin Pawnshop, so he immediately followed the passer-by brother with the attitude of watching the excitement.

Anyway, the drought in the city can't affect them for the time being, and these official sons and daughters who don't worry about eating and drinking, don't watch the excitement in vain.

Su Jiudong stepped into Wanyin Pawnshop with a small bag in his arms, and the first thing that caught his eye was the bat hanging money in front of him and the five-foot-high counter. 120

The counter is high and the people are low, and they are condescending to reduce the price.

In addition to preventing people from coming to make trouble, the main reason why the pawnshop counter was very high in ancient times was to make people feel condescending and facilitate the implementation of price suppression.

The guy who was busy working in the pawnshop saw that the person who came was an old man in a blue robe, with a thin body and a bit of fairy wind and bones, so he immediately stopped his busy pace, but he was only stunned for a few seconds, and he was busy again.

Most of the people who can come to the pawnshop are people who are in need of money. Forgive me if you are a character of the fairy wind and bones, and it is not worth giving people a high look in their eyes...

Besides, looking at Su Jiudong's clothes, he really didn't look like a rich Taoist priest, and the guys in the pawnshop all estimated in their hearts that what Su Jiudong was going to be was not a treasure, it was almost a Taoist robe and a lotus crown or something.

was neglected by the pawnshop guys, and Su Jiudong was not in a hurry, so he slowly walked to the circle chair on the side and sat down.

Su Jiudong sat down, and the pawnshop guy next to him immediately spoke: "Where is the Taoist priest, this place for the nobles to sit is something that you can sit on?!" If you want to be something, hurry up, and if you don't do it, get out of here! ”

"That's what Poor Dao wants to be today."

Su Jiudong sat in place for a long time and didn't move, calmly untied the small bag in front of him, revealing the corner of the bag containing things, and said with a smile: "I don't know if such a thing is enough to sit in this seat?" ”

The scolding of the pawnshop guy just now had already attracted the attention of the pawnshop shopkeeper behind the counter, and the neighbors who were watching from afar outside the pawnshop were also curious to see how lively the pawnshop was.

Now seeing that the corner of the things exposed in Su Jiudong's bag was very shiny, exuding a luster in the morning light, the pawnshop shopkeeper immediately concluded that it was a good baby, and immediately turned out from behind the counter.

The shopkeeper of the pawnshop saluted Su Jiudong with his fists with both hands, and said respectfully: "The Taoist is immeasurable, and the Fusheng is immeasurable~ The surname of the contemptible person is Cai, and the people in the neighborhood sell a certain face to call the shopkeeper Cai." I don't know why I came to the store today? ”

Shopkeeper Cai slapped the pawnshop guy who was talking nonsense just now on the back, waved his hand back, and the pawnshop guy immediately brought a cup of tea and put it in Su Jiudong's hand in a proper manner, and said flatteringly:

"The little one has eyes and no beads, and just now he bumped into the Taoist chief with nonsense, and I hope that the Taoist chief will not mind... Michigan, please use tea. ”

Su Jiudong unpacked all his bags, took out the treasure in his arms and put it on the square table, and said in a rambling voice: "Infinite longevity." Poor Dao came to your store today, and what he did was just an ordinary pawn. ”

At present, Shopkeeper Cai, who has passed through many rare treasures, recognized at a glance that the treasure that Su Jiudong took out was a good Duanzhou stone inkstone.

This square end inkstone is square and upright, black and hidden green, fine carving, warm and natural slurry, excellent quality, solid and lubricated stone, crystal delicate.

The people outside the pawnshop would not appraise it, but seeing that the inkstone taken out by Su Jiudong was in excellent condition, the passer-by brother couldn't help but sigh:

I didn't expect this long to really have a treasure... But isn't this the inkstone commonly used by readers? No matter how good the condition is, it is just an inkstone for grinding, where can it be regarded as a treasure? ”

The children of the official family who knew the goods next to him listened to the remarks of the passer-by's little brother, and couldn't help but interject with contempt:

"What the Taoist priest took out was an inkstone. Duanzhou round stone blue and purple, cut into inkstone, since the Song Dynasty has been worth a thousand gold. A good quality inkstone is precious, and it can be worth a thousand gold... For poor cultivators like them, it is indeed a rare treasure. ”

Another official son playfully retorted: "I don't think so. Shopkeeper Cai and Boss Yin have very vicious eyes, and they love to kill people at low prices. Such a good inkstone is estimated to be not enough in the eyes of Shopkeeper Cai and Boss Yin. ”

Hearing the discussion of everyone outside the pawnshop, Su Jiudong and Shopkeeper Cai were silent.

"I don't know what to call it? Is this what the Taoist Master wants to pawn today? When Shopkeeper Cai saw this treasure, he was excited, but his face still didn't show the dew, and he only asked Su Jiudong: "I don't know if the chief can allow a certain palm to weigh it?" ”

"The poor road is just a scholar who travels all over the world, and the road number is beautiful." Su Jiudong said generously: "Shopkeeper Cai, but please take care of yourself." ”

Shopkeeper Cai sat opposite Su Jiudong, knocking on the inkstone with his hand, the tentacles were soft and delicate, and the sound was deep but not dull. Then press the inkstone with your hand, the inkstone is blue and dark green, and the thin water vapor does not dry for a long time, which does meet the requirements of "grinding ink".

Shopkeeper Cai glanced sideways at the pawnshop guy, and the guy immediately quietly turned to the counter, left the store through the back door, and ran towards the mansion of the hidden boss of Rong Di's wealthy household.

"Although this tea is good, it seems to be the dragon well of the year before last, right? Su Jiudong picked up the teacup and put down the tea after only taking a sip, frowned, pretended to be slightly dissatisfied, and said indifferently: "Shopkeeper Cai, how is it?" ”
