Chapter 19: Extraordinarily Rich
The backyard of the ticket number is not accessible to every visitor.
The front of the shop is a place for ordinary people to access the pawn, and the small courtyard at the back is a place for serious talk.
Bai Ling opened the curtain and walked inside, and saw a small square courtyard behind him.
In the middle of the courtyard is a patio with a half-human-high porcelain jar containing a few koi fish. Hanging in the north is a plaque, on which the four big characters of "Huitong World" are written in vigorous penmanship.
The guys led Bai Ling directly to the main seat in the backyard and sat down - when Wang Yuzhang himself came to inspect below, he also sat here.
Since the people entered the courtyard, the guys made a pot of good tea according to the rules, and when they left, the guy looked at the Jinyi guard behind Bai Ling a little timidly, "Do you need a ......?" β
"No need." Bowling answered for them.
The man at the head of the four brocade guards continued, "Just as if we didn't exist. β
"Huh."
The man nodded repeatedly, and then retreated humbly, until he left the courtyard, still facing in the direction of the brocade guard.
When Bai Ling lowered his head to drink tea, he heard the young brocade guard standing diagonally behind him writing something with a pen. She sighed lightly, and her heart was really convinced-from the time she entered the house to the present, she didn't say anything important, and the brocade guard's pen didn't stop.
The previous shopkeeper reappeared in front of Bai Ling with a stack of paper books in his hand.
"I don't know what the girl is going to call her?"
"My surname is Bai." Bai Ling put down the teacup, "Now in the palace, I have a living ...... of medicine"
Before Bai Ling finished speaking, the shopkeeper was already slightly surprised, "Is it Bai Si Yao who followed the concubine to treat the disease?" β
Seeing that the shopkeeper guessed her identity in an instant, Bai Ling was also a little surprised, she nodded, "Yes, what do you call the shopkeeper?" β
"My surname is Zhao, a single name is a Rong character, and now I am the shopkeeper of the Yuzhang ticket number Pingjing Main Store." Shopkeeper Zhao replied calmly.
The brocade guard who had been recording on the side suddenly interjected, "Didn't you know each other before? β
"The official said with a smile, where did Xiaomin know the medicine in the palace."
The brocade guard pointed at Bai Ling unceremoniously, "Then why is she your honored guest?" β
Shopkeeper Zhao accompanied him with a smiling face, "Because this medicine is holding our master's name card in his hand, all those who come to the door with the name card are our distinguished guests with Yuzhang ticket numbers." β
"That post isβ"
Without waiting for the young Jinyi Wei to finish asking, Bai Ling raised her voice slightly, and she said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Zhao, sit down, I have two things to do this time, I will say them one by one...... I'm still in a hurry to go back when I'm done. β
The young brocade guard frowned, and wanted to scold Bai Ling for not paying attention to his question, but his boss raised his hand to stop him.
Shopkeeper Zhao was silent for a while, looked at Bai Ling, and then looked at the brocade guards, and didn't know which one to respond to for a while.
The man headed by Jin Yiwei looked at Shopkeeper Zhao and Bai Ling calmly, and said again, "Although the shopkeeper talks about serious things with Si Yao, it is only when we don't exist." β
"Eh, yes." Shopkeeper Zhao nodded again and again, and gently printed the sweat on his head with his sleeve.
With both hands, Bai Ling dragged the burden he brought to the table, and then quickly untied the knot on it, and completely opened the burden in front of the shopkeeper and the brocade guards.
Pieces of scattered gold and silver ingots appeared in front of everyone, and here there were three or four specifications at a glance, each of which was the length of a middle finger, the width of a thumb, and the thickness of a fingernail; The big ones are like three or four small ones on top of each other.
All the gold and silver ingots were put together, and a rough estimate was nearly a hundred, and the fineness looked excellentβno wonder Bai Ling had to carry this burden so hard just now, it was indeed very heavy.
In addition to the gold and silver ingots, there was also an arm-long wooden basket in the baggage.
Bai Ling slowly pushed the spread gold and silver ingots to the side of the table, and then pulled the partition on the wooden box open, revealing the jade that shone with a warm glow inside.
As soon as the partition was opened, Shopkeeper Zhao's eyes lit up.
Countless amounts of gold and silver had flowed through his hands over the years, and although the amount of money that Bai Ling had brought with him was not small, it was still nothing compared to the world he had seen before.
But the jewels in this wooden box are different.
The wooden box is divided into many lattices of different sizes, each of which is padded with snow-white cashmere, and the various colors of jade that are incredibly beautiful are placed in each place.
Most of them are hostas, bracelets and earrings, but there are also three or four pieces of gold jewelry and two rough polished stones that look like jadeite and agate.
The so-called gold is priceless and jade is priceless, and this batch of jade is worthy of the words "priceless".
Bai Ling stacked everything, then reached out and grabbed two small gold and silver ingots, "A gold and silver ingot of this size, there should be a total of twenty-nine taels of silver and sixty taels of gold here." I haven't counted the other ones that are bigger yet, and they were unilaterally settled for me in the palace yesterday. Please ask Shopkeeper Zhao to help take inventory. I want to open an account with Yuzhang Ticket today and save all this money. β
Shopkeeper Zhao picked up one or two to take a closer look, and saw that the bottom of the silver ingot was printed with the logo of Ouchi, and couldn't help but be a little vigilant, "...... It's all silver in the palace? β
"Yes, the small silver ingot is my salary, and the rest are all kinds of rewards in the palace," Bai Ling said softly, she took out four or five receipts from her arms, "These are the documents corresponding to each reward, the palace specially asked the Internal Affairs Office to help me open a certificate, these are all silver coins that I can use by myself, and the shopkeeper Zhao can compare them to see if the number is consistent." β
"Someone."
Shopkeeper Zhao shouted in a low voice, and the two guys who had been waiting not far away quickly stepped forward, and Shopkeeper Zhao gave some orders, and these people moved the gold and silver ingots that Bai Ling placed on the table to the ground on the side, and then began to weigh and count them on the spot.
Taking advantage of this moment, Shopkeeper Zhao carefully looked at the documents given by Bai Ling one by one - there was indeed no problem.
"And then there's this box of jewels...... Bai Ling said softly.
Shopkeeper Zhao took out a silk handkerchief from his arms, picked up a pair of bracelets through the handkerchief and looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the things were precious, but his face was still silent.
"Does the medicine want to change hands, or do you want to pawn it?"
"Neither," Bai Ling shook his head, "It was given to me by a friend, it's not safe to keep at home, I want to deposit it here with the Yuzhang ticket number first-"
Shopkeeper Zhao was stunned for a moment, "...... Deposit? We don't do storage. β
"Huh?" Bai Ling turned his head suspiciously, carefully looked at the ticket number regulations hanging on the wall, and patted his palm lightly for a long time, "It's wrong...... It's a pawn. It's just that I'm going to extend the redemption. β
"How long?"
Bai Ling scratched his head and said stubbornly, "Hmm...... Ten years first. β
Shopkeeper Zhao was stunned again.
I don't know whether to say that this medicine is turning fast or slowly...... If this was placed in normal times, he might have already made a face, but after all, it was the Inner Palace Medicine who came over with the old man's name card in front of him......
The two of them looked at each other tacitly, and then they both laughed.
He originally wanted to open his mouth and persuade this medicine to take advantage of the fact that the world is still peaceful, and quickly find a home to sell these jewels and jade. If these things can be sold as soon as possible, everyone will earn them; But if it is too late, for example, if the war in the north burns again, then it is really difficult to say what the price of these jewels can be.
But because of the Jinyi Guard, who had been making records on the side, Shopkeeper Zhao kept his mouth shut for the time being, so as not to be accused of arguing about the country's rights at that time.
The guy who counted on the side raised his head at this time, "The shopkeeper has finished ordering." β
"How much?"
"In total, more than two hundred and thirty taels of silver and more than one hundred and forty taels of gold." The man replied in a loud voice.
