Chapter 67: Qian's Money Village
Leave Pingting Street and head to the opposite west.
A man and a woman seemed to have a purpose, and they didn't stop until they passed through a remote alley in the west of the city and saw a plaque with thick gold letters in thick ink.
Xu Wan turned sideways, revealing his slender white neck, and whispered to Chu Yuan: "I'll go in, you stay outside and wait, don't attract attention for the time being." ”
The seemingly poor couple had two small grains of gold in their hands, which was very scrutinizing from the outside. And there are so many people in the county that no one can predict where the danger will be.
Chu Yuan didn't agree with her entering the money village at the end of the alley alone, but Xu Wan's words made him speechless.
If someone else enters the bank, if the shopkeeper in the bank has the intention to track down their identities afterwards, it will be easy to be exposed.
A woman of Xu Wan's size can be seen everywhere on the street, and she is very ugly this time. Just look at the previous selling, everyone stared at the cold powder, and rarely looked at her face.
It should be ugly and chic, and people don't want to look at it.
Chu Yuan whispered uneasily: "Be careful in everything!" ”
Xu Wan nodded indifferently without panicking, "I'll go and go back quickly." ”
Qian Zhuang is a three-story attic shop, because at the end of the box, there is only one jewelry shop and cloth shop nearby, but it is exceptionally quiet. There were only a handful of figures walking in the box.
Xu Wan stepped forward, and after a while, he stood in front of the door of Qian's money shop.
Xu is closer, and he can see it really. The appearance of Qian's money village looks simple, and at a glance, you can feel the strong and elegant atmosphere that comes to your nose.
This is a bit subtle, that is, the money bank, the most in it is copper, smelly gold and silver, where does elegance come from?
Xu Wan looked at it curiously, then lifted his embroidered shoes and stepped into the threshold unhurriedly.
The first thing that catches the eye is the spacious and bright hall, but the counter separated by a wooden fence is set up on the left side. Through the mahogany wooden fences erected one by one, two men, one old and one young, stood behind the wooden fences.
When he heard the footsteps, he raised his head and looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in the center of the hall.
Jiang was still old and spicy, and found that the old man was surprisingly ugly, the younger one was still in a daze, and the older one only glanced at it inquiringly.
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Guest officer, the little old man is here, please come here to talk." ”
Xu Wan tilted the corners of his mouth not very skillfully and walked straight over. Her slightly dodging eyes touched the shrewd eyes of the money shopkeeper, all of which showed the timidity in her heart.
Asked in a weak voice: "Shopkeeper, I want to exchange money." ”
After hearing this, the money shopkeeper greeted warmly: "How much does this lady need to replace?" ”
The first thing they did when they opened a money bank was to attract customers to the village to deposit money, and most of the money they made came from here. As for exchanging money for others, there are many ways for the gold and silver to be recovered, and there are no disadvantages.
Xu Wan pinched his sleeves and said nervously: "Two little grains of gold... Most of them were replaced with broken silver, and half of them were copper plates. ”
From the time Xu Wan stepped into the money bank, the money shopkeeper looked at her white-washed clothes, and knew that this transaction must be a small amount of money. Unexpectedly, this ugly woman had gold in her hand.
The money shopkeeper didn't know that before going out, Xu Wan specially chose the oldest clothes for himself and Chu Yuan, just to look miserable.
The money shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and his tone was more polite: "Yes, the little woman will take it out and let me weigh it." ”
After the words fell, Xu Wan pinched two pieces of gold with some urgency and placed them on the counter of the money shopkeeper.
She fluttered her thick eyelashes and whispered: "Hurry up and worry about the shopkeeper, I still have important things to do at home......"
Money solemnly, money shopkeeper again for decades, what kind of people have not seen. Seeing Xu Wan's timid appearance, he guessed that something must have happened in his family and he was in urgent need of money.
"Cheng, Xiao Luo brought me the scale."
The young one was Xiao Luo in the mouth of the money shopkeeper, and he had just looked over here from time to time, and when he heard the money shopkeeper's instructions, he immediately went to the back room.
After a while, Xiao Luo took a scale and sent it to the money shopkeeper.
"The shopkeeper, the little one."
"Well, let's get busy."
The money shopkeeper didn't want to talk to him much, he lifted the scale with one hand, and pinched the small gold nuggets that didn't weigh much with the other and put them into the weighing pan.
He had a pair of shrewd and sharp eyes, and he looked down at the scale, and he didn't blink.
After a moment of silence, the money shopkeeper raised his head and said, "This lady, these two small gold grains can be exchanged for eighteen taels of silver..."
Xu Wan's eyes were not empty, and he stopped talking: "Is that all?" ”
The money shopkeeper nodded, "Exactly." Presumably, the lady must have inquired about the reputation of my Qian family money bank before she came, and my Qian Lao Gao never underestimated the silver of the guest officer, otherwise this money village would have been unable to open a long time ago. ”
Xu Wan could only nod his head gloomily and said in disappointment: "That... The shopkeeper gave me sixteen taels of silver, and the rest for copper plates, thank you. ”
The money shopkeeper was very fast, but after a quarter of an hour, he came out of the back room with a tray and counted the silver taels for her in front of Xu Wan.
"It's all here, little old man, wrap it up for you."
Otherwise, you are blatantly holding this silver to swagger through the market? Xu Wan slandered in his heart.
Taking the burden handed over by the money shopkeeper, Xu Wan thanked him and hurriedly turned out of the threshold.
Xiao Luo's heart flashed a trace of strangeness, and he asked, "Shopkeeper, that ugly woman doesn't look like she can have gold..."
After his sudden question, most of the money shopkeeper's previous joy disappeared for a while.
Although he has also seen many rich people, he has a kind of quirk and likes to dress up as poor and sour. That's what he had thought about the little woman.
Can... Now he seems to have suddenly woken up.
The little woman looked back and looked strange.
The money shopkeeper was in his heart, and immediately said: "Xiao Luo, you hurry up and see which direction she is going!" ”
……
Xu Wan had expected that there would be a while, and after meeting with Chu Yuan, he hid in the corner and watched Xiao Luo rush out, obviously to follow her posture.
When the figure disappeared, Xu Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Yuan frowned and disagreed: "It's too dangerous and too aggressive." Not next time. ”
Xu Wan smiled innocently, tugged at his sleeve, and opened the topic: "Let's go." Don't let people turn around and hit the head. ”
The two of them detoured the road and returned to the Zhu family's shop, borrowed the backyard of the Zhu family, and cleaned the painted face, revealing the original face.
Xu Wan specially wore two clothes, and now took off the outer one, revealing a brand new light blue shirt.
The washed cheeks are delicate and fair, and her just right facial features are set off more and more delicate. I can't tell that she is the ugly little lady before.
Even Chu Yuan on the side could see it, and couldn't help but praise loudly: "You are so good-looking today." ”
Xu Wan slapped his strong arm and smiled mischievously, "Your mouth is so sweet today." ”
Even when everything is done, it's time for them to go back.
As usual, it was Uncle Zhu who drove the ox cart, and the two of them sat on the ox cart, looking at the people coming and going in the county, so lively.
Xu Wan secretly thought: In time, she will definitely move her family into this territory. At the very least, you should realize the convenience of being able to buy and buy at any time.
She is good-looking, and when she sits on the ox cart, she naturally attracts the attention of others.
Sensing that there were many eyes on Xu Wan around him, Chu Yuan suddenly pursed his thin lips, and he said in a deep voice: "Next time, let's cover your face, right?" ”
Xu Wan raised his eyebrows strangely and said, "What's the matter?" Am I unsightly? ”
Chu Yuan looked at her resentfully and said, "You misinterpret my meaning again, and don't allow others to look at you." ”
Xu Wan patted him on the shoulder soothingly, and said proudly: "Yo, it turned out to be a taste......
As soon as the words fell, Xu Wan's pretty cheeks gradually lowered and stuck to his thighs.
She snorted and said, "That's all right, right?" ”
Seeing this, Chu Yuan's thin lips loosened, his eyebrows raised, and he said with satisfaction: "It's amazing." ”
……
After chasing out of the alley, I went around the entire west of the city and did not find the ugly woman.
Xiao Luo gasped and stood on the side of the road, scratching the back of his head helplessly, and had to turn back.
He hurriedly ran back to the money bank, and said angrily: "Shopkeeper, the little one didn't keep up with people......
In this way, it made the money shopkeeper feel more and more weird, and the ugly woman must be tired.
After Xiao Luo chased out the door, the money shopkeeper lit a fire and burned the gold grains, and the gold grains were indeed correct, thinking that the problem was the ugly woman.
Since the gold nuggets are not fake, he is at ease, and the rest is left alone, this time he is vigilant, and he feels that if someone comes to exchange the gold in the future, he must be more rigorous.
The money shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you can continue to work." ”
