Chapter 17: The Pawnshop
Just as Gu Li was about to fly away at the expense of exposure, a figure flew down from the canopy where she was, and then quickly fled in one direction.
The hat man chased within three meters of the other party almost in the next moment, Gu Li watched the two of them leave one after the other, and disappeared from her field of vision in a few vertical jumps.
"Don't worry, you won't be caught on the seventh day of the month." A voice sounded from above Gu Li's head, Gu Li almost fell headlong, unexpectedly, there was still someone above his head.
Gu Li looked up, and a graceful and handsome figure appeared in his sight, the familiar throbbing spread out from the bottom of his heart, Gu Li turned around and was about to escape, but heard a voice from behind: "You care about Gu Lun very much?" I can help you. ”
Gu Li turned around, under the sun, the girl's face was even more gorgeous, she bowed to Yun Yi seriously, her voice was calm but detached: "If Senior Brother Yun really wants to help me, I hope Senior Brother Yun can stay away from me." Thanks a lot! ”
Yun Yi stood under the huge plane tree like that, the smile slowly disappeared from his face, the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, and the mottled shadows crawled all over his body, just like his mood at this time, the light disappeared, and finally returned to darkness.
Gu Li's heart was a little blocked, for some reason, after saying those words, a sense of loss came to her heart, and she attributed this feeling to the established emotions of the female and male protagonists in the plot of the book, and forcibly suppressed it.
If she wants to change her life, she must first change the emotion controlled by the plot.
Gu Li stopped in front of a gatehouse, and four words were written on the gatehouse: Geng Ji Pawnshop.
Although Geng Ji Pawnshop is a pawnshop, it is arranged like a teahouse, and its owner is Geng Shiren, the richest man in Qianjing, Geng Shiren was originally a pawnshop, and this pawnshop is the first one opened by Geng Shiren.
Because only precious treasures are accepted here, and if they are not treasures, they will not be accepted. And as long as you make a move, you will die, so those who have precious treasures at home will not be at the end of the road, and they will not come here as a last resort, which leads to the cold of Geng Ji's pawnshop.
Geng Shiren's family has tens of millions, and he doesn't care about this livelihood, it's all a daily pastime.
Gu Li touched his pocket, thought for a while, and walked in.
She was dressed in lotus blue fine linen clothes, and the lilac made her noble and elegant, although she did not look rich, but her all-round bearing showed that she was very human.
The pawnshop guy greeted him and greeted him with a smile: "The guest has something to do?" ”
"Yes, to be a thing." Gu Li nodded slightly, and walked into the pawnshop, there were high shelves on both sides of the pawnshop, and there were many treasures on the shelves, all of which looked very valuable. On either side of the shelf, sturdy guards stood.
"Can the things that the customer wants to pawn inspect the goods first?" The young man was shrewd and clever, and said politely with a smile.
Gu Li shook his head slightly: "This treasure of mine is different from the garbage on the shelves on both sides, it is priceless, only your boss is qualified to look at it, and I will only show it to him." ”
"This ...... This is not in accordance with the rules...... "The young man looked up at Gu Li, and wanted to shake his head to refuse, but he saw the girl standing there, looking at him with dark eyes, and the majesty in his eyes seemed to be a superior person.
"Who wants to see me?" A majestic voice came from behind, and Geng Shiren walked out with leisurely steps. His face was a little haggard, but after a few days, Gu Li felt as if he was ten years older.
Gu Li nodded: "I have a treasure here, which is priceless, I want to make Master Geng have long eyes, this business is completed, and it is guaranteed that Master Geng will make a lot of money." ”
"Oh, hehe, little girl, you may not know me, I don't care about small money." Geng Shiren saw that Gu Li was young, and he only felt that she was talking big, but he was not disgusted, "However, I am curious that your treasure is here, bring it to me to see." ”
Gu Li shook his head: "I can only show you alone." ”
Geng Shiren saw that Gu Li's eyes gradually became solemn, he had read countless people, and it was rare for such a calm girl to be seen, so he immediately smiled and said: "It seems that this little girl did bring treasures, since this is the case, come with me upstairs to talk." ”
After speaking, he signaled the guy not to follow, and led Gu Li upstairs.
Geng Shiren took Gu Li to the backyard, through the small courtyard that was still prosperous in the long autumn, at the end of the stone road was a two-story small attic, the attic was only two floors, but it was built very high, with light yarn as a curtain and sandalwood as a pillar, and it was extremely beautifully repaired.
Rich people just enjoy it.
The two of them walked to the innermost room on the second floor of the attic, which was a tea room, and waved away the maid who made tea. "I don't know the girl's name yet." Geng Shiren personally poured Gu Li a cup of tea and handed it to Gu Li.
Gu Li took it in his hand and gently rubbed the porcelain as warm as jade, but he didn't drink: "My surname is Gu." ”
"It turned out to be Miss Gu." Geng Shiren smiled, "I don't know what Miss Gu wants to be?" ”
Gu Li unhurriedly took out a piece of clothing from his arms and handed it over.
Geng Shiren took the corner of his clothes, changed color, the smile on his face immediately turned to anger, and he stood up from his seat with a bang.
He looked at Gu Li, instinctively wanting to get angry, but when he looked at Gu Li, he was slightly stunned.
The girl's age is not very old, but there is a starry coldness in a pair of watery eyes, obviously looking at you calmly like this, but it inexplicably makes people feel like they are being targeted by some beast, even in his Geng Shiren's territory, the other party does not have the slightest fear, but makes him dare not act rashly.
The guards outside the door seemed to be about to rush in for the first time when they saw their master so out of shape, but they saw Geng Shiren waving his hand at them, indicating that it was okay.
The corner of the clothes that Gu Li handed to Geng Shiren was cut off that night, and even if the person who put him in the sack that day was not the girl in front of him, he couldn't get out of her. And he sincerely felt that this girl did it.
"Miss Gu, if you have any orders, listen to them." Geng Shiren forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and his face was still peaceful.
"Master Geng is really kind." Gu Li clapped his hands, with a "I know your matter very clearly" on his face, and almost made Geng Shiren angry again, but Gu Li naturally knew the truth of accepting it when he saw it, "I came to you today, of course, I came to do business, and three days later, you know about the competition between the Longmen Martial Arts Hall and the Taihe Martial Arts Hall." ”
Gu Li's words didn't arouse Geng Shiren's much interest, he just nodded lightly and said perfunctorily: "I've heard of it." ”
"Now the major gambling houses in the city are setting up handicaps, betting on the wins and losses of both sides, I wonder if Master Geng is interested in gambling?" Gu Li lowered his head and sniffed the tea in his hand, and praised, "Good Junshan silver needle, good tea!" ”
