The door of the pawnshop was only a few steps away from the counter, but the counter was so high that Cheng En had to step on his feet to see the guys inside.

When the guy heard the bell of the curfew, he lowered his head and was packing up the bills on the table, and he didn't see Cheng En coming in.

So when I suddenly heard someone in the house say, "I'm sorry for you", it scared him enough.

The guy was a young man in his early teens, and he was mediocre in appearance, but there was a shrewd glint in his eyes that weren't pretty.

He poked his head out of the counter, saw Cheng En's smiling face, suppressed the fire in his heart, and said in a tone that was neither high nor low, "This guest will come again, we will close today." ”

Cheng En hurriedly stretched out his hand and handed over the preserved fruit in his hand, and said, "It's too late, please make it convenient." ”

The young man was not very interested in the food in front of him, and neither refused nor accepted it.

As if he hadn't seen the bag, his tone was still not high or low, "Do you want to sell something or redeem something?" ”

Cheng En took out a note from his sleeve, handed it to the preserved fruit, and said in a good voice, "I want to redeem something." ”

The guy glanced at the note, and his eyes, which were as quiet as ashes, suddenly flashed.

After a moment, he returned to his original expression, and said unhurriedly, "This thing has been sold." ”

"Sold?!"

Cheng En, who got a reply, couldn't help but exclaim.

"Well, it's sold."

As he spoke, the guy handed out the preserved fruit that Cheng En had handed over on the counter along with the note.

Cheng En was shocked.

How could it be sold in less than a year?!

An important reason why she chose Yuan Ji Pawnshop at the beginning was that there were mostly rich and noble families in Changxingfang, and few people would pawn and sell.

Moreover, the jewelry she stole was the most common ornament, not good in terms of quality and style, and it was not inconspicuous, and such things were the most common objects in the pawnshop.

Why can it be sold in less than a year?

Cheng En saw that the guy's attitude was cold, and the bell of the curfew urged her to be anxious again.

She said in a somewhat anxious tone, "Since it has been sold, can you ask the little brother to make it convenient and tell who bought my ornament?" That's something that's important to me. ”

The guy glanced at Cheng En coldly, and said indifferently, "If it's sold, it's sold, who knows who it's sold to." Besides, what we are doing is a pawn business, not a government office. ”

After speaking, he got up with the bills and silver coins on the table, and said casually, "The curfew drum is beating tightly, if you are not afraid of being arrested, just wait here with me." I'm going to give an account to the shopkeeper, forgive me. ”

Cheng En looked at the guy's appearance, and knew that he couldn't ask anything here today.

took off the preserved fruit on the stage and walked out of the store unwillingly.

There's something wrong with this pawnshop!

Cheng En clenched the note in his hand and secretly guessed.

The guy only had to look at the note in her hand to tell that the item had been sold.

Yuan Kee Pawnshop has a lot of business transactions every day, and even if that guy has an amazing memory, it is impossible to remember the business and sale of a few months ago.

What's more, what she was doing was an inconspicuous piece of wear.

The guy's response was so swift only to indicate that this thing had been sold recently.

And if he can remember that something has been sold, how can he not remember who it was sold to.

There is only one possibility, that is, this guy is deliberately hiding it for the buyer.

The rules of the pawnshop business.

If the customer asks for the confidentiality of the customer's identity, then the pawnshop cannot disclose the customer's identity.

Who, then, would be deliberately buying such an ordinary property?

Cheng En thought as he walked.

Su Zhixi learned that she had stolen something, and it was also a matter of the past few days.

Is it possible that Su Zhixi had a lot of dreams at night and bought it back?

If Su Zhixi redeemed it, it would be easy to say.

But if not, then they will be in big trouble.

Cheng En didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Things weren't there yet, and she didn't want to scare herself.

She hurried back, and when she returned to Sufu, it was already dark.

Cheng En didn't dare to delay for a moment, and rushed towards Su Zhixi's residence.

When he went to the courtyard and saw that there was no light in Su Zhixi's room, he went to the side room to find Gunuo.

Gunuo said that after lunch today, Su Jinzhen came here to play, quarreled with the two girls for an afternoon, and went back after dinner.

The second girl was tired, so she sent the little boy away to freshen up and fall asleep.

asked Cheng En why he came back so late today.

Cheng En saw that there was no one in the house, so he lowered his voice and said, "I went to the pawnshop today, and I wanted to redeem the girl's things, but I heard from the pawnshop that the things have been sold." ”

Gu Nuo didn't think about it after listening to Cheng En's words, and said with a smile, "Look at your solemn appearance, I thought something was wrong." ”

After speaking, he said, "The girl doesn't like to wear gold and silver, not to mention that the old lady also rewarded the girl with a hairpin of excellent quality today, and I don't think she is in a hurry to use what you are doing for a while." Besides, I took stock a few days ago, and a few valuable things were rewarded by the master, and I think you are not an eye-catching object, and if you sell it, you will sell it, and when you make money in the shop, you can buy a good filial piety girl. ”

Cheng Enzhi Gunuo is simple-minded, if he tells her his worries, not only will he not be able to come up with any ideas, but he may also be frightened.

He also smiled pretendly, and only made a reasonable promise.

In the early morning of the next day, after Su Zhixi freshened up, she went to Yin's place to accompany her for dinner as usual.

Usually accompanied by Gunuo, Cheng En was waiting outside the door early today.

Su Zhixi glanced at her, saw that she was preoccupied, and knew that she had something to say, so she said to Gu Nuo, "Okay, it's difficult, she has this intention, let Cheng En accompany me today." ”

Gu Nuo saw that Su Zhixi said this, and he couldn't refute it, so he picked up the paper kite on the dressing table and said with a smile, "Then I'll go and send the paper kite to the little boy, and ask him if he wants to go to Aunt Yin's pilgrimage together." ”

Su Zhixi was noncommittal and followed her.

turned around and took Cheng En towards Yin's residence together.

Walk up to a place where no one is and ask, "Something to say?" ”

Cheng En is not a roundabout character, and when he saw Su Zhixi asking, he said bluntly, "The things in the pawnshop have been ransomed." ”

Su Zhixi turned to look at Cheng En, some emotions flashed in her eyes, and finally asked calmly, "What do you think about this?" ”

To be honest, Cheng En is not used to such a calm Su Zhixi.

This made her always have a kind of weakness like a thorn in her back.

But it's one thing not to get used to it, about what Su Zhixi asked, she still replied on the matter.

"I want to ask if you let you ransom it?"

As soon as Cheng En's words fell, Su Zhixi replied, "It's not me." ”

"I only know that you are a thing, but I don't know what you are or where you are in a shop."

Cheng En listened to Su Zhixi's words, was silent for a while, and replied, "I know." ”

Su Zhixi looked at Cheng En's self-blaming appearance and said, "Is it my attitude of not beating or scolding you that makes you more sad?" ”

Cheng En didn't dare to reply, he only lowered his head, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

Think about it too.

Knowing that she opened a shop privately, Su Zhixi did not punish her, but went to Yin's to ask for a shop and asked her to play what she was good at.

knew that she had stolen something to sell, and did not report it to the government, so he sold her cheaply. Instead, she wanted to scrape together enough money as soon as possible to redeem the things.

Su Zhixi doesn't just trust her.

But from beginning to end, Su Zhixi did not treat her as a slave.

That's it.

The only thing Su Zhixi asked her to do, she messed up.

She, really no!

She hoped that Su Zhixi would beat her, scold her, or even sell her.

It's better than this.

Cheng En's thoughts, how could Su Zhixi not know.

It's just... has experienced a lot, and she doesn't want to be angry anymore for this kind of thing that is a foregone conclusion.

Su Zhixi looked into the distance and said in a light tone, "Cheng En, I'm not angry, I just know that it's useless to be angry about this matter." ”
