This pawnshop in the East Market is full of people, and the cousins and courtiers are very busy, busy greeting customers and inspecting the goods, and the business is booming.

Different from other pawn shops, those who entered this pawn shop were all well-dressed servants, but their expressions were the same, or they were holding a burden in their hands, or they were carrying heavy objects in their sleeves, and they came in with their heads down, looking like they were hiding and hiding for fear of being seen.

The cousins looked strange, greeted warmly and thoughtfully, and invited the guests to the elegant seats with curtains and screens, after all, most of these people came from the high-ranking mansions, and it was inevitable that there would be times when the turnover could not be opened, and it was not a shameful thing to come to the pawnshop, so they would hide it.

was busy, and there was a guest outside the door, who was dressed in a well-dressed and crisp manner, with a hair in a bun and slippery on the back of her head, followed by two little maids, and she was also holding a few big burdens in her hands.

The cousin hurriedly greeted him and bowed: "This lady, please come in, and prepare fragrant tea and send it up." ”

The pawnshop cousins are the most discerning, knowing that these people in your mansion have a good face and can't pull down their faces, they will never be in a hurry to ask about the sale, they all greet people respectfully first, and then it is not too late to talk about business.

But that grandmother was a little different from other families, not only did she not hide it, but she walked around the pawn shop hall loudly, looked at the furnishings around, and then nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that it is a serious place to do business, so it is here for you." ”

She pouted at the two little maidservants behind her: "Go, open the baggage, let them see." ”

Before the parity had invited them to sit down in the private seat, the two maidservants had already stepped forward and shook off their burdens on the table in the main hall, revealing the brightly colored and dazzling clothes inside.

Those clothes are woven gold and silver light and smooth brocade silk yarn, just put there is already dizzying, tsk, even many guests in the private seat on the side will quietly open a curtain to look here, looking at the two bags in the clothes can't help but be surprised, such clothes are afraid that there are few noble mansions in Chang'an City can afford to use, but how can such a noble mansion come to pawn?

The hall and the courtiers on the side were also dumbfounded for a while, they were the most eye-catching people in the pawn shop, and they could see at a glance that those clothes were not ordinary, and they were afraid that if the weaving fabric was the best silk and satin clothing in Chang'an, each of them was worth a lot of money, but it was just that it had to be pawned.

The grandmother looked back at the clothes in the bag, stepped forward and touched one of them, looking at the dazzling brocade like the glow, but her face was full of sadness: "These clothes are all from my wife, and they were originally intended to be kept as dresses, but now they are ...... If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way in the house, how could he think of pawning these with these. ”

The more she talked, the more sad she became, and pointed to the Shu brocade in her hand: "This one was specially purchased on the previous lady's birthday, and I originally planned to keep it to make a Luo skirt, and that one, which was rewarded by the old lady to the Qujiang banquet, and that one was the cloud yarn of Siam......"

She shook her head straightly: "How noble is the status of our lady, where would you have thought that she would be used as clothes and exchanged for money and silver to provide food in the house over there!" When the eldest princess left, she left behind a lot of family wealth, but she was afraid that the lady would be wronged without family wealth in the future, but she didn't expect that it would only be a long time, and she would have to rely on pawn clothes to get by! ”

Hearing the words eldest princess mentioned in Mama's words, the faces of the guests who looked at each other changed, and looking at the pile of clothes and the eyes of the mama were even more complicated, they already knew which house it was.

There are still a few noble mansions in Chang'an City that are still the eldest princess and only one lady is left, and there is only that one mansion.

But at this time, the flowers were cooking oil in the brocade fire, and the saints and the queen of heaven paid special attention to it, so how could they take the clothes as a material?

The little maid saw that Mama was sad, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Mama, this is also a helpless thing, if it weren't for the Xifu side to ...... all the money and silver Even the family wealth left by the eldest princess has been used cleanly, how could the lady let us take out these clothes and pawn them. ”

The grandmother took a handkerchief to cover her face: "Tens of thousands of gold family wealth, those many grange shops, just like that, are not in the East Mansion, but the lady is willing to take the money and silver from these pawn clothes to the Jixi Mansion, and she is reluctant to eat it......"

For a while, the people in the pawn shop stopped what they were doing, and looked over curiously, looking at the colorful clothes on the case, as well as the grandmother and maid who couldn't cry anymore, they were all curious to ask, which house is this, there is such a strange thing, even the eldest princess left the family wealth dare to move, and force the little lady to use the clothes to help the house, it is really rare!

The grandmother cried so sadly that even the people outside the pawn shop couldn't help but probe in, which made the pawn shop even more lively, crowding the first three floors and the last three floors full of people, like a garden.

The bustle also reached the private room upstairs.

There was a purple bamboo curtain hanging in the private room, the servant lit a hollow silver incense burner, fiddling with the incense tower, Cui Linzheng and Cui Yi sat cross-legged, holding a game, a quiet scene, and the excitement below became a sharp contrast.

Listening to the noisy chatter outside, Cui Lin frowned slightly, glanced at the little maid Xiaoyuan on the side, and the little maid hurriedly retreated and went down to find out what was going on.

But after a while, Xiao Yuan smashed his mouth, and walked into the private room with a look of surprise: "Lang Jun, do you guess which house took the object to pawn?" ”

He waited with his eyes open and full of interest for Cui Lin to ask, and his heart was proudly beautiful, if his own Lang Jun knew who it was, he would be greatly shocked, and it would be interesting to watch the ice cube's face change.

But Cui Lin didn't even raise his eyebrows, he just stretched out his hand and gently put down a white piece on the chessboard, as if he was deaf to Xiao Yuan's expectant words and tone.

Or Cui Yi poured himself a cup of sake, and looked at the servant lazily: "Your family Langjun has always been bad and not gossiping, so you don't have to sell Guanzi, what do you have to say!" ”

Xiao Yuan pursed his mouth: "It was the eldest lady of the Gu family who sent someone to come and use it as clothing." ”

He kept shaking his head when he said it, if it wasn't for the old lady herself, who would believe that with the identity of Mrs. Gu, how could she even send clothes to be pawned for money, which is really a rare thing.
