The man in white continued to ask silently, "Aren't you the warlock who called himself You Fang under the rain prayer platform that day?" ”

Su Jiudong nodded to the man in white, put his index finger against his lips, and shook his head imperceptibly, signaling the man in white not to speak easily.

The man in white understood and immediately silenced, but his eyes were full of smiles. Su Jiudong turned his head to avoid the gaze of the man in white, and the two of them knew it tacitly.

After everyone waited for half an hour, Su Jiudong, who had been watching the more fragrant plant, saw that the incense plant was almost burned out, so he walked to the desk to examine it, and then tapped himself on the paper with his fingertips, and finally spoke: "Boss Yin, it's okay now." ”

"Time?" Yin Cigui, who squinted his eyes and closed his eyes to recuperate, was woken up by the shopkeeper Cai, and hurriedly ran to the desk to look at the paper, and saw that the handwriting and ink were the same as half an hour ago, and couldn't help but wonder if this Taoist priest was playing with him.

Yin Cigui was suspicious and instructed the shopkeeper Cai: "Bring the water and put it in." ”

Shopkeeper Cai instructed the man to bring a basin of water and place it next to the desk. Su Jiudong rolled up the sleeves of his loose robe, and under the eager onlookers of everyone, he carefully put the rice paper against the water surface and slowly put it into the basin.

The thin rice paper swiped into the water, calmly floating against the surface of the water, and then came to rest after a few seconds.

As the paper was slowly penetrated by the water, the onlookers immediately opened their eyes and waited with bated breath, especially not daring to miss any moment after the rice paper entered the water.

At the beginning of the rice paper into the water, after being soaked with water, the words on the paper were clear, and the ink did not diverge.

Su Jiudong left the desk with her hands in her hands, walked back to the circle chair and continued to drink tea, and the vacancy left for her by the desk just now was immediately filled in with a figure.

Shopkeeper Cai secretly counted to a hundred, and the ink on the rice paper was still clear, and there was no divergence in the water. After a long time passed, the black ink became more and more clear and eye-catching against the background of the clear water.

Shopkeeper Cai was the first to exclaim: "Eh! The ink really didn't diverge, but it became clearer! ”

"Really! This handwriting is actually clearer than reading it dry before entering the water! A child of an official family was also surprised.

The crowd of onlookers gradually boiled, scrambling to rotate positions to the front of the desk to look at the handwriting in the basin, which was really clear and clear.

Yin Jigui also had to be shocked by this, staring at the handwriting in the water, and the light in his eyes suddenly appeared.

Even if the hidden Guiyi boss who "ignores" all the treasures on weekdays, this time he encountered such a strange treasure, and he couldn't help but put on a flattering face in front of Su Jiudong.

"Daoist Shanxiu, dare to ask you these two treasures, where did you get your master? Did you buy it in Duanzhou? Do you still have a spare inkstone? ”

Su Jiudong stroked his long beard lightly, pretending to be unfathomable: "The family teacher once said that this inkstone is the only one in the world, and there is no more." If it weren't for the fact that it was really difficult to move an inch this time, Poor Road would not have found your shop to pawn these two treasures. ”

"Such a treasure, it's really hard to find..."Yin Jigui was already thinking about how to use this inkstone to curry favor with those powerful people when he arrived in the capital in the future.

Su Jiudong saw that after listening to Yinci, he thought about it, his soul flew out of the sky, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth almost didn't drip down, and he couldn't help but feel that his acting skills had improved.

"Boss Yin, are you listening?" Su Jiudong shook his palm in front of Yinji's eyes, "Dare to ask what you plan to estimate after watching the demonstration of Poor Dao?" ”

Everyone is also looking forward to seeing what price the rumored miserly hidden boss can offer.

However, Yin Jigui had already figured out the gods on his own, and he didn't hear Su Jiudong's question at all.

The shopkeeper Xu of another Xu Fu pawnshop next to him rushed over when he heard the wind, and interjected when he saw the situation: "Shanxiu Dao Chief, why don't you use this inkstone as my Xu Fu pawnshop?" My shop has a big scene and strong strength, and the price is higher than that of the hidden boss! ”

Just now, when I was still wandering in the world, I heard that someone openly ran to his own pawnshop to grab business, and immediately came back to his senses, grabbed Su Jiudong's arm, and forcefully declared his "sovereignty" to the shopkeeper of another pawnshop:

"Grabbed the business from me? There are so many pawnshops on the street, but the head of the mountain show came to my pawnshop, which shows the fate between us! Do you want to rob? Have one's head in the clouds! ”

"What does it mean to walk into your pawnshop, it's not because your pawnshop is in the first one on this street, so the chief of the mountain show happened to walk in." In the face of the domineering attitude, the shopkeeper Xu did not show weakness.

"If the first pawnshop is our Xu Fu pawnshop, make sure that the head of the mountain show walks in happily with the baby, and then gets the appropriate valuation pawn and leaves happily!" Twenty fifty thousand

The two of them are also wealthy families in the city, and they also open pawnshops on the street, and the shopkeeper Xu is better than the locals, and he has a little more advantage than outsiders like Yinjigui, so even if he really wants to compete with Yinjigui, Shopkeeper Xu is not afraid.

"The two leaders don't have to quarrel." Su Jiudong came out to play a round game: "Today, Poor Dao entered Wanyin Pawnshop on his own, and he had a discussion with Boss Yin just now, so these two treasures will still be pawned in Wanyin Pawnshop." ”

Su Jiudong's words were tantamount to reassuring Yin Jigui. Satisfied with the careful measurement of the inkstone and cotton, the final price was finally opened:

"Daoist Shanxiu, these two treasures are indeed rare, especially after your demonstration just now, Yin should also open a high price that satisfies you."

"However, in view of the fact that your pawn this time is a live pawn, and you will have to redeem it again in the future, in order to facilitate your redemption in the future, Yin Mou will give you a higher price under the premise just now, and estimate the final price of eight hundred taels of silver, what do you think?"

Su Jiudong pondered for a while after hearing this, and was not in a hurry to answer the hidden return, but only packed up the black cotton cloth by himself.

Yin Jigui immediately stepped forward to stop Su Jiudong's movements, and said with a smile: "Haha... Shan Xiu Dao Chief, you can think about it again, and don't rush to pack your things first. ”

"Not in a hurry? Didn't Boss Yin already offer the final price just now, and planned to pawn it for the poor road? Could it be that the hidden boss intends to go back on his word? Su Jiudong showed a look of surprise and questioning.

Su Jiudong deliberately didn't respond to Yin Jigui just now, just to tease him and show the value he valued for these two treasures.

"What?" Yin Ji didn't react for a while, and was stunned on the spot.

The shopkeeper Cai next to him had bright eyes, and immediately understood that Su Jiudong agreed to pawn, and immediately served tea to Su Jiudong, and said with a sincere smile: "Where is the Taoist chief~ Taoist chief, you are willing to agree to pawn these two treasures with eight hundred taels of silver, that is the best." ”

Shopkeeper Cai immediately turned to the counter and opened a pawn ticket for Su Jiudong, and went to the account office to get money for Su Jiudong.

Cai's shopkeeper's actions were smooth, and he completed the pawn procedures for Su Jiudong in the shortest possible time, took the silver, and waited for Su Jiudong to sign and draw, and finally the two parties handed over the goods with one hand and the silver with the other.

Su Jiudong took the brush, and while signing, he instructed Yin Cigui: "Boss Yin, Shopkeeper Cai, when these two treasures of Poor Dao are temporarily stored in your store, remember to separate them from other goods. If you are going to use it, be careful not to break it by rubbing. ”

Su Jiudong pointed to the black cotton cloth again and admonished: "Especially this cotton cloth, it is more picky than the storage conditions of the inkstone." Do not tear or wash during use. After use, the paper and cloth should be exposed to the sun. ”

"Especially when you use it again, if the moisture in the cotton cloth is not dry, it still absorbs water, and you will not be able to write if you continue to pad it under the paper. This is especially important, and when the poor road comes back to redeem it in the future, it will be tested on the spot, and I hope that the two of you will not damage this treasure by mistake. ”

Su Jiudong said sincerely, and his emotions for the two treasures of inkstone and cotton cloth were also sincere and cherished, so after handing over the silver to Su Jiudong, Yin Jigui was even more solemn when he took Yantai and cotton cloth.

Su Jiudong got the silver, pretended to smile contentedly at everyone, and when she walked to the door, she noticed the little brother who showed her the way just now, and even pretended to be intimate: "Thank you little brother for showing the way for Poor Dao, so that Poor Dao got a satisfactory price." ”

The passer-by brother also smiled: "No, no, no, I should thank you for showing such a powerful baby to everyone."

"Eight hundred for paper and one thousand for ink. Poor Dao, this is just a coincidence, there is a treasure in his hand, he can pawn it, and there is a way to live. The purpose of Su Jiudong's trip has been achieved, so he restrained his demeanor and walked in a low-key manner.

Because the movement of this visit to Wanyin's pawnshop was too big, and he deliberately took out such a "powerful" treasure, especially when he met the man in white again and again, Su Jiudong paid special attention not to expose his whereabouts, and did not go back directly, but walked into a teahouse.

There was already a secret guard arranged by Wen Yiheng in the teahouse, and as soon as Su Jiudong entered the teahouse, he took her to the private room upstairs. Su Jiudong quietly changed his outfit in the private room, and was able to restore his original women's clothes, and left peacefully from the back door of the teahouse with the secret guard.

Successfully shook off the suspicion of tail-tracking, Su Jiudong returned to Xingyuan and went straight to the study.

Wen Yiheng had been reading the papers in the study for a long time, and when he saw Su Jiudong coming back, he put down the scrolls, stepped forward to greet him affectionately, and directly hugged Su Jiudong in his arms, and said softly: "I'm back..."

Su Jiudong gently pushed Wen Yiheng, but he couldn't push him, he only felt Wen Yiheng's scorching body temperature coming from his palm, and said with a smile:

"No one has followed up now, otherwise your eager appearance will be seen, and the cold image you maintained in front of people in the past would have collapsed long ago."

"I'm only anxious in front of you, and I don't care what others think of me." Wen Yiheng scraped the tip of Su Jiudong's nose with his hand: "You came back so early today, do you think the plan is going well?" ”

Su Jiudong briefly told Wen Yiheng about the pawn at Wanyong Pawnshop earlier, and then sat down on the Luohan couch next to him with a big grin, picked up the paintbrush and continued to color the Hanlian picture that he had nothing to do last night, and he was leisurely.

"Now that the first half of the plan has been completed, it's up to you to do the rest."
