Beachhead Hate Chapter Eighty-Nine Qian's Pawn
The sun rises in the east, and the golden light is sprinkled on the white frost, making it even brighter.
This is the time when many people have already woken up and are holding a bubble of urine, but they are reluctant to get up. However, the Guiling City where these people are located does not seem deserted because of their lazy beds.
On the contrary, their absence does not seem to have affected the third-largest city in the Western Vietnamese Kingdom. The long streets of the city were bustling with activity early in the morning, no different from the old days, with clumps of white heat spewing out, shouting and selling everywhere, and bustling crowds everywhere.
There are many people in Guiling City who are hardworking and get up early, and maybe these people don't want to get up so early, but most of them have reasons why they have to get up so early, their parents need to be supported, the dowry of a wife needs to be contested, or the young son needs to be raised, and the wife is seriously ill in bed......
Of course, some of these early risers did not have to get up early, not only did they not lack food or drink, but their homes were already full of red and rotten, and the wine and meat were stinking.
Qian Wangcai, who sat in an eight-person sedan chair, belonged to a person who did not need to get up early, and he was nicknamed "Qian Bancheng", so he naturally had no shortage of food and drink. Not to mention anything else, with his fat, even if he only drinks water and doesn't eat a mouthful of food within half a year, he won't starve to death.
Qian Wangcai sits on a mountain of gold and silver, naturally there is no shortage of money, but it is a habit he has developed every day to get up early in the past ten years, and every morning he will go around several main streets in the city.
At first, when he could still see his toes while standing, he walked in a circle with his legs.
Gradually, he could no longer see his toes, so he replaced his own legs with those of the palanquin drivers.
The sedan chair driver has also developed from the first two to the current eight, and now, these eight seem to be a little insufficient.
Qian Wangcai turned around every morning, naturally not to practice these sedan chair drivers or the little guys who were waiting on the side, but to inspect his shop, nearly 100 pawnshops, "Qian's pawn".
It is just a popular name to say that it is a pawnshop, and his Qian's pawns are all genuine pawn shops.
The pawnshop not only does the pawnshop's business, collecting pawned jewelry, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, furniture, clothing, etc., but also does the business that the pawnshop does not do, collecting pawned houses, fields, etc.
After years of operation by Qian Wangcai, sixty or seventy of the top 100 pawnshops in Guiling City are Qian Wangcai, and in Guiling City, which is known as the "Dangcheng", it is not easy to have this kind of achievement, and he also has the title of Qian Bancheng, but he is not very satisfied with the current situation.
Qian Wangcai himself didn't know why, when he went from the pawnshop's "descendant" to the "ticket counter", he even dreamed of laughing, feeling that his life was really worth it, and he felt that he had nothing to ask for.
But when he had more, he found that the more dissatisfied he was, the less happy he became.
Although Qian Wangcai was still a little dissatisfied with the status quo and wanted to squeeze out or take over dozens of other large pawnshops, he knew that this was just a delusion. Because, the owners of the remaining dozens of big pawnshops are either government offices or temples, and they are all difficult to mess with.
Through the sedan curtain on one side, after looking at his nearly 100 shops, Qian Wangcai turned his head expressionlessly, and the little guy waiting on the side quickly lowered the curtain, Qian Wangcai closed his eyes with only one line left, and began to recuperate.
Just when Qian Wangcai was half asleep, a loud scream suddenly came from outside the sedan chair, and at the same time, the sedan chair stumbled suddenly, and then Qian Wangcai found that his body rolled out of the sedan chair like a watermelon.
"Hey......" Qian Wangcai rolled out of a distance of a few feet on the ground in one breath, if it weren't for the two sedan chair drivers and the little maid in front of him who quickly pressed him, it is estimated that this distance can be three or four times farther.
At the same time as being pulled up by a group of subordinates, Qian Wangcai's eyes were wide open, the thickness of his nails was cracked between his upper and lower eyelids, and he shouted angrily: "What's the matter?"
"Master, it was this girl who suddenly broke out of the ......," the palanquin man said cautiously.
"Qian, Master Qian, we are relatives!" a thin young girl paced to Qian Wangcai a little shyly, and interrupted the palanquin man with a weak and trembling voice.
"Relatives?" Qian Wangcai glanced at the young girl in front of him who lowered her head and didn't dare to look at herself, only to see that she was eighteen or nineteen years old, although the clothes on her body had already been patched and stacked, but they were cleanly washed, her face was not powdered, and there was no decent jewelry on her body, but she was also dignified and elegant, and her own appearance was also fresh and refined, like a spotless hibiscus.
Qian Wangcai originally planned to teach a good lesson to this culprit who caused him to fall several times, but when he saw the appearance of the arrival, a ripple suddenly appeared in his heart, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared immediately.
However, Qian Wangcai didn't believe in the relatives in the mouth of this beautiful girl, he didn't remember that there were such beautiful relatives among his relatives.
Is it that relatives are not important to Qian Wangcai, but what can relatives do? Over the years, he has driven away at least 100 poor ghosts who have come to visit their relatives every year.
Young girl: "Yes, we are relatives! Your second aunt's sister-in-law is married to Zhang Ergou in Zhangjia Town, right?"
Qian Wangcai thought for a while and nodded.
The young girl's face was happy: "Your second aunt's sister-in-law is married to Li Jiafeng from your village, you know?"
Qian Wangcai thought for a while and nodded again.
Young girl: "Li Jiafeng's baby who married into my sister's family in Changxing Town married a girl from my third aunt's family, we are serious relatives!"
The corners of Qian Wangcai's eyes unconsciously cracked a little more, this is the first time he has encountered this kind of talk of climbing relatives, and he can't help but be a little more curious: "What's your name?
"Master Qian, I'm ...... My name is Lan Susu, and I made a gold bracelet in the Qian pawn shop on Anshun Street half a year ago......" As she spoke, two tears rolled down from the corners of Lan Susu's eyes.
"You want to get it back?" the corners of Qian Wangcai's mouth hooked.
"No, Master Qian, I brought the pawn ticket and silver to redeem!" Lan Susu said with some panic.
"Then you can just redeem it!" Qian Wangcai's heart was a little disappointed.
"But, Master Qian, I spent twice as much money, but what I redeemed back was not the bracelet I was!" Lan Susu held out a rusty iron bracelet with tears in his eyes.
No need to ask, just one glance, Qian Wangcai understood the whole thing nine times out of ten.
Come to think of it, Lan Susu was indeed a gold bracelet at the beginning, but when he went to redeem it, "Chasing Thin Cat" used the hands and feet that the "ticket table" and "Chaofeng" had done in advance on the pawn ticket, and deliberately wrote a few specious and ambiguous words or a few small words that were not easy to find on the pawn ticket, and replaced Lan Susu's gold bracelet with an iron bracelet for her "reasonably".
As for the fact that Lan Susu said that he spent twice as much money, it would be better explained, and it must be that the court extorted twice as much money from Lan Su under the pretext that the proportion of silver money was changed or the silver was too poor.
I knew in my heart that Qian Wangcai was pretending to be stupid on his face and mouth, with a look of shock and anger on his face, and his mouth was also full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and he kept saying that he wanted to seek justice for Lan Susu.
"Sister Susu," a smile flashed on Qian Wangcai's face, and he gently patted Lan Susu's shoulder with a fat and greasy palm, and Lan Susu subconsciously dodged it, "I will definitely teach those bastards a hard lesson and help you get the gold bracelet back!"
"Thank you, Master Qian!" Lan Susu said with gratitude.
"Su Su girl, I still have some important things to do, I asked the little maid to take you to one of my courtyards first, you take a break, I will definitely bring you your bracelet later!"
Hearing that she had to go to his other courtyard and wait, Lan Susu had some hesitation in her heart, but when she thought of her mother's only relic left to her, her hesitation disappeared in an instant: "Then it's bothering Master Qian!"
"Don't bother, don't bother!" Qian Wangcai laughed heartily, and that smile also felt a little cold in the sun.
As he spoke, Qian Wangcai gave the little guy who was supporting him a look. The little guy immediately understood, and ran to Lan Susu with a smoke: "Miss Lan, the little one will take you to the other courtyard to rest!"
Lan Susu said a bunch of thanks to Qian Wangcai again, and then left with the little girl.
Several palanquin drivers sighed secretly, feeling a little more sympathy for this little girl who had nothing to do. They knew that Qian Wangcai would definitely not teach those people a lesson, because these were originally his requirements, as for the gold bracelet, whether Qian Wangcai would return it to her, these palanquin men said that it was not good, but they knew that this little girl's innocence would definitely be ruined in the hands of this fat pig......
