Chapter Seventy-Four: Bow Your Head and Ask for Help
There must be something wrong with this hairpin!
Although she had never been to the pawnshop, she had asked twice about the meaning of the word, and there must be a problem.
Qiu Yehong has already preliminarily decided in her heart that if she is not from the right background, or she is worth a lot of money.
The man inside smiled slightly, nodded good-naturedly, and handed the hairpin to the thin old man.
"You do it, I won't bother."
As he spoke, he took a few steps back and left Akiba's gaze.
"Girl, are you alive or dead?" The old man asked with a squint.
Dead? If Fu Wencheng knew, Qiu Yehong believed that he didn't care whether he was alive or dead, and he would dare to come in and rob him directly.
"Live." Autumn Yehong replied without hesitation.
"Three pieces of jewelry, a hundred taels ......," said the old man.
A hundred taels? Qiu Yehong's heart fluttered, this jewelry is really valuable, and the starting price is so high!
"It's not right!" Autumn Yehong endured the excitement and tiptoed to pull her jewelry bag.
"Huh? Little sister, what does this mean? The old man hurriedly pressed the jewelry bag and asked with a smile.
"The price you gave is too low..."Autumn leaves puffed out her cheeks to make it look like I was an insider.
Someone inside burst out laughing.
"Little girl," the old man was neither anxious nor annoyed, and raised the piece of jade with a smile, "The texture of this piece of jade is not bad, but this handiwork is just average....and these two silver hairpins...... Although the workmanship is average, the texture is very good, little girl, I will give you a hundred taels to see this hairpin, and the rules of the pawnshop, do you understand? ”
Autumn Yehong shook her head a little dejectedly.
"Ten is five, one cent of interest will be deducted a month when redeemed, no matter how high the value of your silver hairpin is, I won't be able to give you the full amount, right? After all, the little eldest sister is a pawn, not a ...... seller," the old man said in a casual manner, turning the silver hairpin on one side, and condescendingly taking in the autumn leaves.
Little girl, bargaining also depends on the place to see the people, right?
"Uncle Song." The man inside came out of the shadows again, and said with a smile, "Two hundred taels." ”
Forget it, Autumn Leaves Hong looks at the sky, anyway, sooner or later it will be redeemed, and there is no time to grind foreign workers with them here.
"For the sake of the young owner's face....... the old man said unhurriedly.
"Okay, what to look at in the face of the young owner! It's just a matter of seeing whose face everyone knows in their hearts, hurry up and give money. Autumn Leaf Red slapped the counter and interrupted him impatiently.
After taking the money and sending it into the jewelry, Qiu Yehong did not forget to say with a little solemnity: "Keep it for me!" I'm going to redeem it! ”
"Okay, okay, little sister, don't worry." The old man smiled and watched Autumn Yehong hurriedly leave with the money bag in her arms.
"Young owner... It's really a heavenly treasure hairpin..."The old man couldn't hold back his excitement and picked up the silver hairpin again.
"How long have you been giving her a day?" The man asked, taking the silver hairpin.
"We are a mortgage shop, according to the rules, the time is naturally short, and the interest rate is high... The little girl didn't ask for it specifically, so I took it as a default and redeemed it as a deadline... A month," the old man said with a smile.
There is an urgent need for so much money in a month, so it is not easy to raise more money than this to redeem it.
"Uncle Song, no wonder people always say that people are old and become fine, I think you are about to become fine...."The man laughed and turned the hairpin in his hand. On April 15th, my aunt of the Governor's House celebrated her birthday, and my mother had a gift that she could handle..."
"Young owner, where did you say this little girl got such a precious object?" The old man frowned and was puzzled, while fiddling with the remaining two pieces of jewelry, "This jade pendant is also extraordinary... Look at her appearance, it's not like a rich and noble family..."
"The thing is in the hands of the original owner, the thing is stolen in the hand of the thief, and the thing is in the pawnshop!" The man said lightly, turned the hairpin in his hand and threw it to the old man, "Put it away, send it to my home next month." ”
"Okay." The old man neatly wrapped the jewelry and put it in the cabinet.
Autumn leaves have never figured out the pattern of the rich family's house, anyway, I feel as if there is a village as big, the yard is set around the yard, the road is around the road, this house has a lot of years, the big thick tree hugged by the two is visible, especially when it comes to the rich old lady's living house.
Although it looks a little old, the dark door with twelve carved insects and birds in front of it shows that this is definitely a place not to be underestimated in the mansion of a rich family.
Qiu Yehong has been standing here for an hour, and only two of the twelve hall doors are open, because he lowered his head, he couldn't see whether there was anyone in the hall, and he could only see the occasional person walking hurriedly.
After spending a full fifty taels of silver, she found the steward who Song's sister-in-law said could deliver a message to the old lady, and was brought here with a sense of joy.
The weather is warm, and the midday sun shines through the branches of the large catalpa trees in the yard, making the autumn leaves standing in the shade feel a touch of warmth.
A footstep sound different from that of the little guys appeared in the main hall, and Autumn Yehong was overjoyed and looked up slightly.
This is a man in his forties, deep and straight, with a kind complexion and a slightly chubby body.
It's a faceless steward, and Autumn Leaves can recognize the clothes somewhat.
"Are you the Hui Niang of the second old man's family?" The housekeeper said lukewarmly, "The old lady asked you, what's the matter?" ”
Thankfully, there's finally a way.
Qiu Yehong hurriedly took a small step forward, and according to the prompts of Sister-in-law Song, as well as the information she had just inquired about, she said respectfully with a smile: "It will be the old lady's birthday in a few days, and the granddaughter will give some small gifts to meet the old lady......."
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a dull snort from someone in the room.
"Congratulations? … Why didn't I see you here before? … What a force's heart! ”
Qiu Yehong's nose was sour, her face was spicy, and she didn't hear what the steward in front of the hall said, and her ears were buzzing.
She remembered herself in her previous life, in order to transfer her from the grassroots veterinary station to the city, how did the old father beg her grandfather to tell her grandmother, and asked the door to pick up the window, at that time she was young and ignorant, thinking that her career was smooth sailing, where did she know that it was not easy to ask for help.
Once my father heard that a distant relative was an official in the city, and asked for a relationship to find him, and he got such a reply.
Why didn't I see you before?
At that time, after my father came back, she described it lightly, but at that time, she didn't care at all, she only cared about whether the thing was done.
It wasn't until today that she heard such a question with her own ears and felt how embarrassing it was.
"Dad, my daughter is not filial." Autumn Leaf Red muttered, wiped the two tears that fell, poofed on the hard stone road, and knelt down.
"Old lady, please save my father's life, my granddaughter has kowtowed to you."
A little girl who saw this scene outside the arch ran to the other door, turned the aisle, crossed the two gates, and arrived at the courtyard of the eldest lady.
Qingluan, who was wearing an apricot yellow satin gown pink dress, was raising her eyebrows to preach a little girl, and when she saw her coming, she sent the girl with her head and shoulders shrunk away.
After whispering a few words, Qingluan gave her a few money, then turned around and walked into the house.
The eldest lord and the eldest lady were both in the room, looking at a list and talking.
"What's the matter with her?" The eldest lady saw Qingluan and asked casually.
"Mrs. Hui, kneeling at the old lady's side, begging to save her father." Qingluan Road.
The eldest lady snorted from her nose, and the corners of her mouth collapsed and she didn't even bother to speak.
The eldest man put down the list in his hand and said, "But that Hui Niang is here?" ”
Qingluan nodded, and the eldest man coughed and stood up.
"Now I know what my last name is! … What do you do? The eldest lady asked.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll go over there and take a look, you don't know Dad's temper......" The eldest man laughed.
"Don't go!" The eldest lady raised her eyebrows and shouted, "It's good to die, the province is causing trouble!" Everyone is clean too! ”
"Look at you, after all, it's also a family....the relationship between Lord Wang and us is also here, and his son's life is not hindered....It's just a matter of what my father said... I'm worried that I can't answer what Uncle Sun's letter says, but now it's okay, I will be able to do it at this time..."The eldest man smiled, shaking his clothes and raising his feet to leave.
"Wait! Aunt Sun's letter? The eldest lady glared and said, "What letter?" Why didn't I see it? What did he say? ”。
