"Ah, there's a woman coming." Cheng Er thought that the eldest brother knew what happened just now, so he went to his father in private to sue him, and glared at the eldest brother fiercely, Dongsheng was helpless and pretended not to see it.

"What did she say, you hurry up and tell me 1510, and leave a sentence, be careful that I discount your dog's legs!"

Cheng Er was scolded and trembled, and he was even more frightened in his heart, could it be that woman really had something right? He carefully considered the choice of words, "As soon as the woman came to the door, she said that she wanted to see you, and I said that my father was busy, and asked her what was the matter, but she didn't say, so naturally I couldn't pass it on, so she opened her mouth and scolded me." Later, she also said that her husband had an appointment with our owner Bai Gongzi, isn't this nonsense, our owner's surname is Wu! ”

The more Cheng Lao's shopkeeper listened, his face darkened, and finally he reached out and slapped him, and scolded fiercely, "You stupid, you have made a mistake, our owner's surname is Bai, and this Wu surname is the owner's maternal surname!" ”

Cheng Er covered his cheeks, which were swollen in an instant, and shouted aggrievedly, "How do I know that the owner's surname is Bai, you and your eldest brother usually talk behind my back, and now blame me for making a mistake." ”

"You are a rebel..."The old shopkeeper Cheng was panting with anger, looking around for something to take advantage of and wanted to beat Xiao'er, but was stopped by Da'er, "Dad, stop the anger, stop the anger, let's send someone to find the woman quickly, maybe there is still room for maneuver in this matter, the owner has told him several times, in case of delaying the matter, how to explain to the owner." ”

The shopkeeper Cheng Lao immediately came to his senses, slapped the table and shouted, "Close the door of the store, send everyone out, you must find that woman!" ”

Dongsheng hurried out, and soon seven or eight young men ran out of the store, blending in with the crowd and disappearing...

Not to mention how the Cheng family father and son were anxiously looking for it, only to say that Ruixue was angry, standing on the side of the street hatefully, stepping on the unmelted snow under his feet, creaking, and after a while, he reached out and touched the paper in his arms, sighed and smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, I didn't overjoy, and I still remember to bring the title deed with me." I can't say it, I have to mortgage it to raise money first. ”

She followed the road in her memory to find Baohetang, the pawnshop where she pawned the jade pendant, and thought in her heart that the old shopkeeper was quite kind, maybe she could discuss it better.

In front of the shop, the young man in Tsing Yi was still wiping around, very diligent, Rui Xue entered the door and asked, "Little second brother, are you in charge of the shop?" ”

When the young man heard the reputation, he felt that the young woman was very familiar, and he didn't think much about it, so he came up and smiled, "This sister-in-law wants to pawn things, you can sit down and have a cup of tea first, and I will go and ask the shopkeeper." ”

Rui Xue sat down as she said, took the tea, and thanked her.

Not far from the door of the shop, Wangcai probed his brain and looked at it for a long time, then ran into a big house half a street away, passed through the door all the way, entered a courtyard with a very beautiful scenery, and shouted loudly, "Childe, childe, the little one has something important to report." ”

A big girl in a green dress standing at the door of the main room, hearing him shouting so rudely, was just about to scold, the door behind her opened from the inside, Chu Gehuan walked out wearing a stone blue carved silk squirrel cloak, and asked, "But the person who made you star, has news?" ”

Wangcai panted with his hands on his knees and nodded his head vigorously, Chu Gehuan waved away the big girl and said, "Say it, don't delay things." ”

Wangcai immediately said how he hid outside the village, how he followed Ruixue into the city, how he saw her arguing with others, and finally entered his own pawnshop. ”

Chu Gehuan stretched out his hand and slapped him, "Entering the pawnshop is not a pawn object, but it can also be tea?" ”

Wangcai was photographed aggrieved, "The little one wants to say that the object must be very important to the proprietress because her brows are wrinkled together in distress." ”

Chu Gehuan raised his eyebrows, "Oh? I thought there was nothing in the world that could make her embarrassed, this is a good show, let's go, go to the shop. ”

Wangcai trotted behind the master, complaining in his heart, the master is really stingy, he is so stalking, it is really hard, he doesn't even have a reward, Chu Gehuan, who was walking in front, seemed to hear his heart, and threw a sentence lightly, "Things are done well, go to the account room at night to get ten taels of silver!" ”

"Thank you for the master's reward, the master can rest assured, the small one must have stared at the master." Wangcai immediately forgot about the complaint just now, and almost jumped up with joy, and beat the package ticket one after another.

Rui Xue sat in the shop, but after waiting for half a cup of tea, the old shopkeeper with white hair flowing last time appeared behind the counter again, he is a person who makes a living by eyesight, his eyes are poisonous, he only swept Ruixue's appearance and clothes, and immediately recognized that this was the woman who came to pawn the jade pendant last time, and the jade pendant was also taken away by the second son to play with it, and it has not been returned to the library.

He smiled and said, "This little sister-in-law is not harmed, how can she have free time today and take care of the old man's business?" ”

Rui Xue smiled bitterly, got up and saluted, and then sat down again, before saying, "Let the old shopkeeper smile, life is poor, and there are some difficulties, so I have to bother the shopkeeper again." ”

The young man stood by the door, listening to the tone of the old shopkeeper and Rui Xue, he couldn't help but glance at Rui Xue twice, frowned and thought for a moment, and really let him remember, isn't this the farmer's sister-in-law who rewarded him with more than 20 yuan, he immediately stepped forward with a smile, and added tea to Rui Xue, and was curious, this sister-in-law looks shrewd and will live, how can she be an object again?

The old shopkeeper stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Buying and selling business, everyone takes what they need, and the little sister-in-law doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Ruixue smiled, took out the title deed of the dock from her arms, handed it to the young man, and the young man immediately delivered it to the counter.

The old shopkeeper picked it up and looked at it carefully for a moment, and saw that the seal on it was indeed from the government, so he asked, "Little sister-in-law, but do you want to be this land deed?" Dead or alive? How much is silver? ”

Rui Xue took a sip of tea, her eyes fell on the title deed, as if she was very reluctant, but she still said, "The shopkeeper also knows that the wharf outside the city is becoming more and more lively now, and the ships will definitely come and go more frequently in the future than now. If it weren't for the difficulties at home, I would never have taken out this title deed. ”

The old shopkeeper nodded, he had been to the dock once, it was indeed much more lively than he imagined, and the merchants in the city had already tasted the sweetness of the waterway, and it would definitely be more prosperous in the future.

Rui Xue saw the old shopkeeper's face with approval, so she struck while the iron was hot and said, "My shop only sells some tea, and I also provide a few bowls of soup and a few pieces of dry food at noon, and there will be twenty taels of input every month. ”

The old shopkeeper asked strangely, "Since the business of this shop is so good, how can the little sister-in-law bear to take it?" ”

Rui Xue hung her head, tugged at the placket of her clothes with both hands, and said after a while, "My husband is seriously ill, and he has too much medicinal silver, and he can't do it for a while, so he has to make this decision." ”

The old shopkeeper and the young man glanced at each other, and sighed in their hearts, this woman looks like a virtuous and sensible person, why is she so unlucky and married a sick man?

The old shopkeeper coughed twice and persuaded, "Little sister-in-law, don't be anxious, your husband will definitely recover as soon as possible." ”

Rui Xue nodded and thanked her, and at the end she seemed to be barely reluctant, and said with a smile, "This shop is the source of our family's livelihood, I really don't want to die, why don't I say a way, the shopkeeper listens to it, it may work?" ”

If you are not willing to die, you are alive, is there any other way to not do it?

"Oh, tell me about it, the old man listens to me." The old shopkeeper is also curious, and there is no business to come to the door in the morning, and he is also a little free.

"I want to bet this shop on the shopkeeper's place, that is, to work, as two hundred taels of silver, and within a year, I will still open this shop, and I will send twenty taels of silver every month, so that by the end of the year, I will pay a total of two hundred and forty taels of silver, and I can get the title deed back." But if I don't send the money for a month, the title deed and the money I paid in the previous months will go to the treasurer. Shopkeeper, what do you think? ”

"This..."Even if the old shopkeeper has been doing business for many years, it is the first time he has heard of such a redemption method, and he is a little dizzy by this monthly payment of silver to repay debts, and he is indecisive for a while.

Rui Xue took advantage of the situation and said, "Now the selling price of this title deed has risen to nearly two hundred taels, and after a year, I will pay off the silver arrears, and the shopkeeper will earn forty taels for nothing, if I don't pay it off, the shopkeeper will only sell this title deed to sell it for three hundred taels, and make more profits, no matter how you calculate it, you will definitely not suffer a loss." ”

The old shopkeeper pondered for a long time, and was about to ask questions, but suddenly heard some noise behind the door curtain, turned his head to look, but saw that his second young master was standing there at some point, nodding slightly at him. He immediately understood, pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and said with a smile, "Little sister-in-law is really shrewd, okay, we have done this deal." ”

When Rui Xue heard this, her face immediately saw joy, she actually didn't have much hope, she thought that she could persuade the old shopkeeper that it was better to mortgage and borrow money, and if she couldn't be convinced, she would live, and when Zhao Fengnian woke up and got back the bonus mentioned in his letter, she would redeem the shop again, but she didn't expect the old shopkeeper to agree so easily.

She hurriedly got up and thanked her, and the shopkeeper considered the wording, wrote the pawn ticket, signed the drawing, and took the heavy four fifty taels of silver bills and put them in her purse.

The young man smiled and waited aside, and said congratulations straightly, which made Rui Xue cry and laugh a little, is the joy on her face really so obvious? In the end, he still reached out and touched a dozen coins and handed it to him, and then solemnly thanked the old shopkeeper, and then went out with the basket.

The old shopkeeper rushed behind the curtain and said with a smile, "Does the second young master want to build a restaurant on the dock so that the old man can leave this land deed?" ”

Chu Gehuan held the fan and lifted the curtain, shook his head, and the corners of his mouth were turned up, "This son is interested in this woman." ”

(I don't know what went wrong, I crawled at least the word at seven o'clock, and now I want to vomit when I look at the computer!) I'm going to go out for a walk and get some fresh air! ）
