Chapter 44: The Wonderful Man
This was said suddenly, Gu Yunjin was a little stunned when he heard it, but he quickly stabilized his mind.
Lady Jia has just arrived, and she has been busy moving and tidying up the yard in the past two days, so she shouldn't know what Gu Yunjin is doing.
Gu Yunjin raised her eyes and looked over, afraid that the other party was tricking her, so she threw the words back: "What did I inquire about?" I don't quite understand what the eldest lady means. ”
Woman Jia's smile remained unchanged, as if she saw Gu Yunjin's precautions, she didn't sell it, and said it bluntly: "Point the butterfly hairpin with green and red coral." ”
Subconsciously, Gu Yunjin tightened the handkerchief in his hand.
She went to a few pawnshops and knew a little about the rules of their business, not only did she not reveal the identity of the person who pawned it, but she also did not talk about the information of the person who came to inquire about it.
Besides, Gu Yunjin has never revealed his identity in any pawnshop, even if Mrs. Jia knows that there is a girl's family to inquire about hairpins, she will not know who her surname is.
But Mrs. Jia knows everything.
How could a merchant woman from a foreign country easily ask from Delong's pawnshop?
And Mrs. Jia was so confident, Gu Yunjin saved her sloppy heart, and said: "Then does the eldest lady know who took the hairpin as Delong, how much silver it was, whether the thing can be redeemed and bought, and whether the ticket can be shown to me?" ”
After a few questions in a row, without stopping, Mrs. Jia liked Gu Yunjin's straightforward and non-roundabout temperament, and said: "Thirty taels of death, the girl wants to see the ticket, and there is a way." ”
Gu Yunjin was surprised, not for the way in Jia's mouth, but for the price.
The monthly salary of a first-class maid is one or two halves, and with all kinds of silver, Shi Ying got almost twenty taels of silver in a year, which can be counted, with Gu Yunjin's understanding of Shi Ying, almost all of this silver fell into the hands of Shi Ying's father, and she couldn't keep much for herself.
The thirty taels stolen by the guards will not be taken away by her father, which is already a huge amount of money for Shi Ying.
In the past, the small courtyard she bought, although the sparrows were small, I heard that the carved railings and window lattices in it were not inferior to the rich merchants, and the title deed said fifty-five taels, Gu Yunjin was rough and calculated, Shi Ying almost saved a lifetime of money by pawning Shi's dowry.
It's just that Shi Ying can be satisfied with the price, but it is too cheap for a good green hairpin.
Woman Jia saw Gu Yunjin's doubts and explained: "It's a girl who went to be a girl, she didn't say the origin of things, she only pressed a handprint on the pawn ticket, and I don't know if the name of the report is true or false. ”
Gu Yunjin nodded.
The pawn is like this, Shi Ying is in a hurry to make a move, and she has to be asked where to go to the pawnshop, this hairpin is eye-catching again, even if Delong lowers the price, she can only be it.
Gu Yunjin didn't worry about what Shi Ying left behind, as long as the handprint was hers, she couldn't rely on it when she came to Mrs. Min.
Lady Jia said again: "The hairpin is still in Delong, and the girl can redeem it." ”
Redemption is definitely to be redeemed, there is no reason to let the old lady Shi's things stay in the pawnshop.
"Auntie, I won't tell you, I don't have that much silver, I'll discuss it with my sister-in-law in a while, and wait for her to get together." Gu Yunjin said.
As for who will come out of this money in the end, they will definitely not dig out their pockets in Beisan Hutong, Gu Yunjin will definitely have to discuss with Old Lady Min and the Yang family, and whether the old lady with a heavy face will recover it from Shi Ying's hands, that is a matter of her Xianhe Hall.
When Mrs. Jia saw that she was shy in her pocket, she said: "If the house is not enough, the girl should not be polite to me, I still have some things to move there." ”
Gu Yunjin bent his eyes and smiled.
She was no longer surprised by the enthusiasm of the Jia woman.
can make Delong Pawnshop open his mouth and get a pawn ticket, how can this woman be an ordinary merchant woman?
There must be such a person behind Woman Jia, who knew that Gu Yunjin was looking for a hairpin, and asked Woman Jia to come forward to help her.
If that person is kind, Gu Yunjin is grateful, if he has bad intentions, Mrs. Jia moves to the side of the Gu family, and the two families don't look up and look down, and Gu Yunjin can't solve it.
Instead of looking ahead and hesitating, it is better to understand the other party's intentions.
Gu Yunjin held Woman Jia's arm and said in a deep voice: "Auntie, we Mingren don't say secret words, which noble person helps me, you give me the answer, and I will thank him in the future." ”
Woman Jia burst out laughing, raised the corners of her lips and said, "Others are particular about seeing through and not saying anything, but the girl is different, and she asks me what she thinks." ”
Gu Yunjin Waner.
"It's not that I deliberately hid it from the girl, people didn't tell me to tell me to say it, I don't dare to say more," Woman Jia patted the back of Gu Yunjin's hand comfortingly, and said, "The girl just needs to believe me, that person has no intention of harming the girl, you just have to rest assured." I'll ask again at my next convenience, and if he answers, I'll tell the girl who he is. ”
Woman Jia's tone was firm, and Gu Yunjin couldn't ask the result when she asked, so she simply said: "Since I am a kind-hearted person, I won't take Qiao, I will accept his love, and the eldest lady will help me inquire about a few things, if I find out, I will redeem it." ”
Lady Jia laughed, she felt more and more that Gu Yunjin was an interesting girl, when she didn't know the identity of the other party, she could "get an inch" and take advantage of it so frankly without being disgusting, and she was also a wonderful person.
"Just say, girl, I'll do it." Woman Jia packed the ticket.
Gu Yunjin told Mrs. Jia all the things that were missing in the warehouse.
The Jia woman wrote them down one by one.
In the courtyard, the ingots continued to be folded, and the Jia woman did not nag for too long before saying goodbye.
Wu smiled and asked Gu Yunjin: "What did you just say to the eldest lady, I see that you are very energetic and very popular." ”
Gu Yunjin rolled his eyes and said, "I told her which shop in the capital has delicious dim sum, and next time the eldest lady will send something to the neighbors, she won't pick the wrong one." ”
Xu shook his head with a smile.
Wu smacked her: "It's cheap and good, obviously I like Suxianglou the most, but I don't mean that the aunt picked the wrong one." ”
Gu Yunjin was not poor-mouthed, he only laughed.
No matter what, things are all clear, Gu Yunjin is much more relieved, just waiting for Mrs. Jia to have a letter there, and then she can continue to go down.
And the kind Samaritan in the shadows, he can make Delong Pawnshop loosen, even if he is not the owner, he has some face in front of the owner.
In the evening, when he returned to Shilang's mansion, Gu Yunjin quietly instructed Fu Dongdao: "Go and inquire about the business of Delong's pawn shop, or be careless, don't let people talk about it elsewhere." ”
Most of the girls in the backyard don't care about all kinds of business in the capital, but the gentlemen in the front yard will weigh it to some extent, especially the Xu family, who climbs up from the merchants, and the servants will also hear about it.
Fu Dong's father and mother are also on an errand in the house, and they have been in the Xu family for 20 years, and they are familiar with each other.
