Xiao Qing thought about the preciousness of these things in her hand, it was impossible for the jade to be sold directly, so she could only go to the temple to sing and sell, and the singing and selling could only be taken out if the court provided disaster relief, so she had to wait, and when the winter came, the drought would worsen again, and then the court would hold disaster relief.

These golden lumps, if you don't come to Jinyufang, I'm afraid that no other family in the entire Yaoshan County will dare to accept them!

She took a deep breath, looked at the three gilded characters of Jinyufang, and walked in with her feet raised.

As soon as I entered, I saw two half-height lacquered wooden boxes placed on both sides of the doorway, there were brocade boxes on the boxes, the box was open, and the gold, silver and jade bracelets wrapped in silk cloth in the box were all kinds of gold bracelets, gold bracelets of hands and feet, gold bracelets of dragon and phoenix entwined silk, and delicate pearl gold bracelets.

She's a good girl, these are all treasures, all money! Full of gold.

These styles are not far behind in the contemporary era, and there are jade bracelets, silver bracelets, gold-inlaid jade bracelets, etc., one is more beautiful than the other, and the workmanship is staggering, and it may not be possible to make such a craft now.

Xiao Qing went inside, the northeast corner of the shop placed four six-foot-long strips surrounded by a quadrangular shape, which was full of exquisite lacquer plates, lacquer plates with all kinds of gold hairpins, hostas, red, green, white, emerald and various gems of the ancient style hairpins, gold and silver hairpins, gold and silver jade hairpins, step shakes, towel rings, Huasheng, treasure buns, dazzling, rich and exquisite, suitable for all kinds of wear.

In the northwest corner of the shop, there are several shelves, colorful phoenix crowns, treasure tassels, ring jade belts, pearls, corals, musk beads and various ornaments are hung all over the shelves.

The shopkeeper walked up with a smile and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you here to buy jewelry, or are you here to sell jewelry?" ”

Most of the women who can come in their shop and dress like this are here to sell jewelry or family heirlooms, wearing brocade clothes and jade belts, and rings and maids follow in groups to buy jewelry, but the rules in their store, no matter what you take to sell, as long as you give the shopkeeper a fancy to it, the price must be higher than in the pawnshop, but if you want to redeem it again, it is impossible.

Xiao Qing bent the crescent moon and said, "Shop, I'm here to sell jewelry." ”

The shopkeeper was very proud that he had guessed correctly, and he asked with a smile: "Can you give me your baby long eyes first?" ”

Xiao Qing took out the burlap bag from his pocket, opened it, and picked up a golden pimple to show the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the round gold pimple and his heart jumped at first, and then he returned to the cabinet with a measuring stick and tools, weighed the pan and measured it carefully, squinting to observe the roundness and craftsmanship of the gold pimple.

After reading a series of others, the shopkeeper exclaimed in a slightly flustered tone: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, the goods have arrived, you come out and take a look." ”

Under normal circumstances, he can make a decision on the spot about the objects brought by the peasant woman, and he will call the shopkeeper unless he encounters something really good.

After a moment, he saw a door automatically moved open from behind the shopkeeper, Xiao Qing was surprised, the ancient door was automatically moved open? High-tech with auto-sensing?

The fat shopkeeper in a golden silk suit walked out, looking relatively young, at most in his forties, with a big face and brain, wearing a crown and hat, with a three-point smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were not smiling, his eyes were sharp and shining, Xiao Qing looked at this person, and he had a feeling of old fritters in the shopping mall.

He walked to the shopkeeper's side, put aside the sand pot he was holding, glanced at the things in the shopkeeper's second-hand eyes, and asked in a long voice: "What is it, show me!" ”

The shopkeeper respectfully handed the thing to his hand, he first checked it, and then rubbed it on his hand with his thumb and index finger, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes, he hurriedly pinched the gold bump in his hand, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and then took it to his nose to smell the taste, the more he smelled the taste, the brighter his eyes became, and finally he stared at the gold bump in his hand and looked over and over again.

After a while, I seemed to have an answer in my heart.

"Whose thing belongs to this?" The shopkeeper asked.

The shopkeeper pointed at Xiao Qing: "The shopkeeper is this sister-in-law's, and she still has five gold beads of the same size in her hand." ”

The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Qing, yo, a person of the same size! During the great drought, the two of them were so fat, he was the first man, then she was the first woman, looking at the bun seemed to be a woman, presumably the family must be honest, otherwise how could there be capital to eat so fat!

He walked out of the counter with a smile, came to Xiao Qing and asked, "Hello girl, can you show me your other gold beads?" ”

Xiao Qing saw that he was smiling strangely at her, and he didn't know what to laugh at, so he handed the gold bead he was holding tightly in his hand to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper only looked at it without touching it, and asked with a smile: "May I ask my sister, are there still three of these gold beads at home, and are they taken off from a hair crown?" ”

Yo, when Xiao Qing heard it, she was an expert, she knew where this thing was grown, but unfortunately, she didn't have any research on these, she only knew that this thing was expensive.

Xiao Qing denied with a smile: "It's not a secret, shopkeeper, we don't know where this thing originally grew, because when it was handed down from our ancestors, there were only these few beads, if it weren't for the drought in the past few years, the family didn't eat or drink, and the little woman wouldn't have taken out the ancestral things and sold them." ”

The shopkeeper was puzzled and asked, "Since it is an ancestral heirloom, why don't you go to the pawnshop?" Wait until one day to redeem it, why do you bring it to my small shop and sell it? ”

Xiao Qing said quite seriously: "Shopkeeper, look at what I am wearing, this is already the best clothes in my family, even the hairpin is made of wood, I don't think it's wrong with the silver given by the pawnshop, I just want to sell this thing, I don't plan to redeem it, I want to come to your gold and silver shops, see who gives the highest price, I will sell it to whom." ”

The shopkeeper raised his head and laughed, for him, this kind of greedy little woman has seen too much: "Yes, yes, what my sister said is very true, our gold and silver shop does give more than pawnshop, sister, I heard your accent is from Yaoshan County, where do you live?" ”

Xiao Qing's eyes faded, and his smile plummeted, he wanted to find out her family background, it seems that these gold bumps are really not ordinary things, and they must not be exchanged for silver copper plates at the ordinary gold price.

"Shopkeeper, I'm here to sell gold beads, not to ask your family name, you just look at the price, whether it's suitable or not, I wonder whether to sell it to your family." Xiao Qing turned passivity into initiative and said.

The shopkeeper was stunned, but he didn't expect that this was still a thoughtful person, and he didn't report his address or name.

"Sister, to tell you the truth, your gold beads are full of gold, the workmanship is also exquisite, the gold pimples are round into beads, if this skill is something thousands of years ago, then your few are treasures, if it is a few hundred years old, it is also a good thing, of course, if it is a gold bead within a hundred years, it can only be exchanged for silver at an ordinary price." The shopkeeper did not hide it: "However, I look at your thing, it looks like something from a thousand years ago, if you want to sell me the family heirloom hair crown, I will give you ten times the gold price." ”
