This is a two-room large shop, double carved wooden doors, vermilion columns, ebony plaques written "Bora" two big gold characters, the font is very wild and uninhibited, Ruixue's father in the previous life often said, the word is the epitome of a person's character, so it can be seen that the person with this inscription must not be a rule-by.

The young man in the shop had been walking around with a feather duster, blowing the dust in the window lattice from time to time, and when he looked up and saw a young woman in a coarse cloth dress standing in front of the door, she kept looking up at her plaque, but did not come in, so he walked out of the door, and greeted with a smile, "This sister-in-law is tired of walking, do you want to come into the store to rest?" ”

Rui Xue heard someone talking, so she withdrew her gaze and smiled slightly, "Thank you, little second brother, I... Well... The slave family happened to have something to ask the shopkeeper. She learned Zhang's sister-in-law's self-name on the road, but she almost bit her tongue when she said it, which is really chilling.

The young man heard that she was going to ask the shopkeeper for advice, and guessed that it was business that came to the door, so he warmly welcomed her into the hall and brought tea to him.

Rui Xue was indeed a little thirsty along the way, bowed her head and took a sip, secretly praising this Baolaitang as a prestigious big shop, just because this guy did not dislike her for being poor, and treated her so warmly and politely, you can see that the owner of this pawnshop must be knowledgeable.

She put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Little second brother, I have a jade pendant to be used here, you can ask the shopkeeper to come out and palm the eyes." ”

"Okay, sister-in-law, sit down for a while, I'll go back." The young man turned around and picked up the curtain and went to the back, and soon there was a short and fat old man with white hair standing on the high counter in front of Ruixue, a long gown with flowers and brocade, and a square hat with a square edge, very rich, he glanced at Ruixue quietly, and said with a smile, "What kind of material desires does this sister-in-law have, can the old man take a look?" ”

"Of course, Mr. Tired." Rui Xue stretched out her hand to take off the jade pendant and handed it to the little guy next to her, who was stunned, and then held it and sent it to the counter.

The old man raised his eyebrows, the guests who used to come to be things, as soon as they saw him come in, they all came to the counter, held the objects to be used, and kept talking about how expensive their things were, but today this woman is dressed in very shabby clothes, but she acts in a very noble manner, is it not a young lady from a rich family before she gets married?

Rui Xue went out to run errands in her previous life, and she was also followed by a secretary, handing jade pendants as if handing documents, where did she think that the old man would guess like this.

The old man suppressed the doubts in his heart, looked down at the jade pendant, picked it up and looked at the sun for a long time, and said, "This sister-in-law, how much silver do you want to make this jade pendant?" ”

Rui Xue smiled faintly, "It's the first time for the slave family to be a thing, I don't know what the market is, so let's make a price first." ”

The old man looked at her again in surprise, and said with a smile, "This jade pendant is made of good material, it looks like the mutton fat jade in the western Xinjiang, but the carving is too clumsy, and this good material is broken, the old man gives a real price, fifty taels, what do you think?" ”

Rui Xue didn't answer, put down the teacup, got up and slowly tidied up her dress, and said softly, "The slave family will leave first." As he spoke, he motioned for the young man to help her retrieve the jade pendant.

The old man hurriedly said, "This sister-in-law thinks the price is too low?" ”

Rui Xue had a cold face and replied, "I asked a few passers-by in the city, and they all said that your Baolai Hall is the most fair, so I went straight to your shop, but unfortunately, Mr. disappointed me, it seems that this reputation and reputation are not real." This jade pendant is worth three hundred taels of silver, I didn't expect to sell it at the original price for a penny, but it's always not difficult to get half back, and your shop can also earn half of the profit, but I didn't expect that the old gentleman came up and smashed his own signboard first, so I had to go to other shops to ask. ”

The old man was a little anxious by her one and a half profits on the left and one on the right, and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, don't be impatient, sit down and have a cup of tea first, our Baolai Hall has been in business for decades, and it is indeed the most fair place in this Lingfeng City. ”

Rui Xue raised her eyebrows, muttered slightly, and sat back down, and the young man hurriedly stepped forward to add new tea for her.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to look at it carefully for a long time, and said with a smile, "This is indeed the best sheep fat jade from Western Xinjiang, the carving is a little worse, but it can barely be seen, I don't know if the sister-in-law plans to die or live?" ”

Rui Xue had already thought clearly, the original owner of this body was so tragically thrown in the mass grave, and he was also abandoned by someone, no one will find it again, this jade pendant is useless to keep, and it is clean if it is sold thoroughly, so he said, "If it is a job, you will have to stay in the shop for a year and a half before you can make a sale, and you will not be able to sell it for a long time, so the old gentleman only uses half of the silver to accept a piece of good jade that can be sold immediately, but it is a good deal." I still have urgent things to do at home, if my husband is optimistic, I will issue a pawn ticket. ”

The pawnshop originally received objects, but it liked to die, it was convenient to buy and sell, there was no need to keep it, and there was no trouble, at this time, when I heard Rui Xue say this, the old shopkeeper smiled and said, "I didn't expect this sister-in-law to be a person who understands business, okay, this old man of jade pendant has accepted it." As he spoke, he bowed his head and wrote the pawn ticket.

The young man stepped forward to take it, and Rui Xue smiled, "Give me a hundred taels of silver tickets, and the remaining fifty taels will be broken silver, and I will go and buy some things, which will be convenient for spending." ”

The young man answered, lifted the curtain and went to the back. The old man stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "The old man hasn't asked his sister-in-law for your surname?" ”

"The old gentleman is polite, my husband's surname is Zhao, you can call me Mrs. Zhao."

"Oh, where does Zhao Niangzi's family live, but near this Spirit Wind City?"

Ruixue replied vaguely, "Exactly." Thinking of what she was going to buy for a while, she asked again, "Old gentleman, do you know which carpentry shop in our city has good craftsmanship and fair price?" ”

"Zhao Niangzi wants to make wood? The Xue family at the end of this street has the best craftsmanship..."The old man didn't know if he was born to talk, or if he had nothing to do, and he was not in a hurry to go back to the backyard, but what Fan Ruixue asked, he was very patient to recommend one or two shops with a good reputation.

Soon, the young man came out from behind, holding two silver tickets of fifty taels and more than a dozen pieces of broken silver of different sizes, and said with a smile, "This silver ticket is from the Xinglong in the east of the city, and it is the most accurate, and the broken silver is also in excellent condition, sister-in-law will check it a priori." ”

Rui Xue put the silver ticket into her arms, stuffed the silver into her sleeve pocket, and said with a smile, "No need, Baolaitang has been in business for decades, and it is not easy to get a good reputation, how can it have a bad reputation for a few taels of silver." ”

As she spoke, she stood up, handed the smallest piece of broken silver on the table, which weighed about two coins, to the young man, and said, "This is to thank the little second brother for his warm treatment and farewell." Then he bowed, thanked the old shopkeeper, and then went out of the door.

The young man smiled and shook the silver, and said to the old shopkeeper with a smile, "Mr. Chen, this little sister-in-law is really good, I have been a man for two years, and it is the first time I have received a reward." ”

The old shopkeeper stroked his beard and looked at Rui Xue, who was gradually walking away, and said with a smile, "The people who come to our shop are all for short money, how can I be willing to reward you." ”

The young man raised the silver in his hand and said, "This sister-in-law looks like she is also from a poor family, isn't it still a reward, it is more than two dollars." ”

Before the old shopkeeper could speak, someone behind the curtain answered, "This sister-in-law is not comparable to an ordinary woman!" ”

The curtain of blue flowers on a white background was lifted, and a person came out of it, tall and thin, wearing a moon-white silver silk embroidered dark brocade gown, a large lotus pattern appeared on the white clothes, the red blonde hair crown was tied with long ink-colored hair, and the hand-cranked gold paper fan waved, and the gently lifted hair slid mischievously across the white jade-like face, sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, thin nose and lips, and he was a rare romantic son in the world, at this time there was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, which added three points of evil charm to him.

The old shopkeeper and the young man hurriedly saluted respectfully, and the old shopkeeper asked, "When did the young owner come over?" But what did the old club command? ”

The man in white waved his hand, "I went out for a walk with nothing to do, and I didn't think about it before I went into the backyard, and I heard the woman bargaining with you just now, which was interesting." ”

The old shopkeeper said with a smile, "The old man also thinks that this woman is not good, at first it seemed a little reluctant to call the slave family, and then when it came to the price, he called me directly, and he didn't have the slightest ecstasy when he got the money, and he was generous in rewarding, I'm afraid he was also a habitual master on weekdays." ”

The man in white stretched out his hand and took the jade pendant and played with it for a long time, and said, "Make a note in the account book, I will take this jade pendant and wear it." ”

He often looks for some gadgets in the shop on weekdays, and the old shopkeeper doesn't care, so he writes with a pen, and the man in white shakes his fan and goes out.

Rui Xue didn't know that someone had given her such a high evaluation behind her back, so she took the silver happily and went straight to the Xue family's woodware shop at the end of the street.

The structure of the object she wants to hit is simple, and there is no need to carve, the Xue shopkeeper is very happy to only accept two taels of silver, Rui Xue is happy, remembering that she lacks nothing in the small courtyard, and bought a large bathtub, two wooden barrels, and two high-backed chairs in one go, but it makes Boss Xue very happy, and gave her a small bench, Rui Xue thanked her, made an appointment to pick up the goods in three days, and tied a few pots and buckets in the corner, and then came to move away after buying the rest of the things.

After completing the most important thing, Rui Xue felt much more relaxed, and with the money in hand, she began to make a crazy purchase.

I bought a stone green and a green cheesecloth in the cloth village, prepared to make two coats, thought about the underwear that had not been replaced, and picked a soft moon white cotton cloth, with a total of three taels or four dollars of silver.

In the grain and oil shop, I bought 50 catties of fine noodles, 10 catties of vegetarian oil, 100 catties of grain noodles, 50 catties of brown rice, 20 catties of japonica rice, soy sauce, vinegar, Shao wine, Sichuan pepper, star anise, all the seasonings were weighed some, and even the ridiculously expensive frosting was bought for half a catty.
