About five or six people are lining up in the inner hall, the inner hall of the pawnshop is not big, only a very small cubicle, there is only a table horizontally placed in it, and behind the table is also sitting a fox demon, the fox demon has a relatively old face, with long beard, eyebrows are also hanging down on the face, and the erected ears have a thick earlobe. A shrewd face, and a pair of bright eyes, although old, but extremely spiritual.

After the fox demon who led the way left Ye Xuan in the inner room, he nodded and bent down and smiled: "The inside is the shopkeeper, if you want to be something, just give him something." ”

Ye Xuan swept around and nodded. "I'm sorry for you. ”

The fellow smiled without saying more, and then turned and left, as if to receive the next customer. As a service staff, he can feel warm when he can get enthusiastic responses from customers, and it is also the only channel through which he can feel the true feelings of freedom in the world.

After the guy left, surprisingly, Ye Xuan didn't see any guests come after him left until he left. But business is always light and lively.

However, although there are only five people in front of Ye Xuan, the speed of queuing is still very slow, bargaining is indispensable, and the boss is discerning to appreciate the treasures brought by the guests, after all, treasure appreciation is definitely a technical job to test eyesight, without a pair of eyes to distinguish the authenticity, then doing this pawnshop business, most of them will lose money. And as a treasure connoisseur, you need a lot of auxiliary skills, and the water is very deep in all walks of life, not to mention this treasure industry.

I saw that the treasure connoisseurs in the inner hall did not treat the treasures differently because of the clothes of the people who brought them, and every time they took over an item, they all looked at it with the same serious demeanor, their eyes narrowed slightly, and the treasures in their hands kept turning. Then it took about half an hour to speak, and the age, texture, and value of the treasure were directly revealed. Perfectly. Ye Xuan, who was bored and yawning in the back, listened to the Tao. Sometimes the guests don't understand something, and the pawnshop owner also explains it word by word with a kind face. There is not the slightest hint of concealment. However, in terms of price, the pawnshop owner also gave a very decisive price. Even if the customer consults many times, he will not give more points. Be it or you go. Very bottom-line.

The line was very fast, the first two were dressed in gold and silver, and the clothes were exquisite and meticulous, but after taking out the things for the shopkeeper's appreciation, he then thanked him and turned to leave. Seeing this, the shopkeeper's face was still as usual, and there was a faint hint of joy, and there was no trace of loss after the sound fell through. This discovery made Ye Xuan a little strange. Just when Ye Xuan stared at the pawnshop owner with doubts on his face, the pawnshop owner seemed to feel the gaze, glanced at him, smiled slightly, and continued to enter the work.

And this time, it was the old woman with many patches in her clothes who was receiving her, who was a little nervous, and sat on a chair in front of the table in the inner room with a somewhat restrained expression. And tremblingly put the red cloth on the shopkeeper's table. Then he slowly loosened the red cloth that had wrapped around the object. But I saw an extremely simple hairpin appear on the table, the hairpin is made of green jade, I don't know if it is too old, or it has never been scrubbed, the hairpin is gray in appearance, I can't see the slightest beauty, it is very simple and unpretentious.

Standing behind the old woman was a young demon clan, seeing the hairpin that the old woman exposed after opening the red cloth, she showed a look of disdain, and a faint look of impatience.

However, when the pawnshop owner saw the hairpin, his squinting eyes were surprisingly round, and his face was very excited, and then he couldn't wait to pick up the green hosta placed on the table by the old woman with both hands. The subordinates are very gentle, as if they are caressing the girl's carcass. This cherished appearance made everyone in the entire inner hall feel very strange. "Could it be that this hairpin has a great origin? But it doesn't seem to be much different from ordinary street hairpins. And the inferior ones are slightly inferior. ”

Still according to the old rules, after waiting for half a quarter, the pawnshop owner said in a vicissitudes of voice: "This hairpin is old enough, it must be a thousand years ago, and it has gone through several dynasties." I didn't expect it to be preserved in its entirety! It's strange, it's really strange. And it was definitely used by the royal family at that time. So be it, a hundred taels of gold, I bought it. There was an unconcealable excitement in his tone.

"Shhh This 100 taels of gold is enough for a family of three to buy land and live a carefree life for the rest of their lives. Just a hairpin can get such a good life, how can this not be amazing. After the exclamation, the two little demons behind the woman looked at the old woman sitting on the bench with flickering eyes, their eyes burning, revealing envy, jealousy, and a little greed, and the information contained in their eyes was very complicated.

However, the old woman sitting on the bench did not know the gaze of the person behind her, but sat on the bench in a daze, and only after a long time did her face be excited, her hand tremblingly raised, and then put it down, and then raised it again and placed it on the hosta on the table. Touched it. Then he sighed. "This hairpin is my mother's mother, who has been passed down from generation to generation, and I didn't expect it to be so valuable. It's just that the old body is not filial. Selling this item is a big unfilial piety! Ay. ”

At this time, the boss who looked at the hairpin strangely turned his head to look at the old woman with a face full of vicissitudes. said something unprecedentedly. "Such a affectionate and precious hairpin, why did you have the idea of pawning, look at you like this, after you are done, plus the three points of interest, you really can't redeem it. Of course, Lao Yu is also curious, what makes you want to pawn such a valuable thing to my place. ”

The old woman sighed all her life, and then said slowly: "Hey, the old man has a son, and he will go to the imperial city "Zhengnanhai" to take the exam in two months. It's just that the money has been raised for a long time, and I haven't scraped together enough money to go there, my short-lived man died early, and he usually weaves some bamboo baskets with his old body, which is enough to subsidize the family, but now, hey, I can only use this hairpin as a hairpin. in exchange for my son's travel expenses to Beijing. ”

Ye Xuan was also moved by compassion when he heard this, but he had no money on him, otherwise he would definitely have to teach the woman, but the pawnshop owner said: "Why don't you let your son go out to work to make money?" Seeing that you are so old, it is estimated that your son is not young, and he can work by himself to earn travel expenses. ”
