Chapter 19 Treasures are poisonous
Beside the Nanqiao Bridge is the place where nobles in Beijing like to stay the most. There are many places to play and many ways to play. All the young masters like to have fun here. Even if it is the rule, they also like the exquisite environment here. Finding an elegant teahouse to drink tea and listen to the piano is also a good pastime.
But I saw a shop at the bottom of the south bridge, which was spacious and bright, simple and simple, but also had a sense of wealth and honor. On the plaque above the door was a golden big word: Dang, it was actually a pawnshop.
The old shopkeeper in the shop is busy. The second floor of the pawnshop is a delicate railing, but it looks like a restaurant.
Looking down from the second floor, you can not only see the bustling crowds below, but also see the gurgling pool of clear water under the South Bridge, as lively and flawless as beautiful jade.
"This place is so good. I'm afraid I'll have captured all the beautiful scenery." The man in red took a sip of wine, and his charming eyes were shimmering. If he grew on a woman, he would probably be a peerless beauty.
The hanging gauze tent is the latest in Beijing to see the rain and the sky is clear and fragrant. The refreshing swaying is like the color of clear water washing the sky. Outside the bead curtain, two beautiful women gently fiddling with the pipa, and the pleasant sound is like a pearl falling from the jade plate, which makes people fascinated.
The man sitting on the other side was rich and noble, wearing a big red orangutan felt plate with gold embroidered stone green makeup and satin coat along the edge of the strip. The buttons were all finely sewn with silver thread. He wore a red velvet-inlaid purple-gold pearl crown. He held a jade chopstick in his hand and picked up a piece of dish in his mouth. He said, "I have never seen you eat like this. I don't entertain idle people. What's the matter if I run to this day? The young master of the Helian family ran to my wealth building for free. He was not afraid of laughing when he said it."
Helianyu smiled when he heard this: "What's so scary? Jiang Yulou is the richest man in the world. Just a meal, why should you be so stingy? Besides, I am not the only one who can eat freely." He lit his chin and looked at the opposite side: "Why don't you talk about him?"
"He paid for money, you didn't." Jiang Yu Tower looked him up and down: "It's better to enter my Fugui Tower and sing a little song or something. With your beauty, in less than three days, countless young men will throw away all the red silk."
"You!" Helianyu hated people the most in his life that he was a boy and a girl, but he was a thick-skinned opposite him and had no choice but to him. In anger, he turned his eyes: "Yunxi, you just started staring downstairs, what interesting is it? Did you look at someone girl?"
The man was Fu Yunxi. At this moment, he was sitting leaning against the railing, but his ink-colored eyes stared at an extremely ordinary carriage downstairs.
The coachman parked the carriage in front of the pawnshop. After a while, two girls looked like girls emerged from the carriage. The girl in a blue shirt stood in front of the carriage, lifted the curtain, and helped the person inside to walk out.
He was a young girl who looked about twelve or twelve years old. She was wearing a thin cotton jacket with a sleek ink silk and only a green satin vest on the outside. She was extremely simple. She was combed with two round buns, and she couldn't see her face from above. She was holding a half-person-tall wooden box in her hand.
Helianyu had already come over, and at first glance he was stunned. In amazement, he forgot about his displeasure just now and asked Jiang Yulou, "Don't you just take treasures in your shop?"
Jiang Yulou shook his head: "Anyone who is rich and noble will have no reason to refuse. It is second to whether you are a baby or not."
"That's strange." Helianyu said to himself: "I dare to enter your shop in such a cold dress. Don't go the wrong way."
"Where do you think I am Fugui Tower, everyone can go wrong?" Jiang Yulou said: "If wealth and honor are not obvious, the more treasures a person has, the more he has to hide it."
Helianyu snorted, but saw Fu Yunxi beside him rarely showing an interesting expression, so he followed him to look down.
The girl in ordinary clothes was Han Yan, and the girls around him were Ji Lan and Shuhong. Today, they were coming to pawn the things. But this kind of pawnshop is probably not allowed to be used as a pawnshop. Only Fuguilou, the largest pawnshop in the capital, can accept things. However, it is only possible.
The shopkeeper was an old man with a white beard. Seeing that Han Yan and the other two had not treated them lightly, they instead welcomed them to the central hall. After serving tea, they said angrily: "Miss, I want to pawn the things."
A hint of praise flashed in Han Yan's eyes. Anyone who does business in Beijing is not observing his words and expressions, but has become a smart person. Today, she deliberately dresses in ordinary clothes and puts them in other shops. Seeing that she is not like a wealthy family and is still young, she may have been despised and disdained for a long time. However, the shopkeeper not only did not show his intentions, but was so kind. No wonder she could make the shop business the number one in Beijing.
"I'm sorry, the shopkeeper, I have a small thing here. The shopkeeper will see how much it is worth." As he said that, he asked Ji Lan to open the big wooden box.
There was a thick cloth curtain covering the middle hall and the outside of the pawn shop, and someone guarded it to prevent the evil people. So Han Yan was not worried. Ji Lan stepped forward and lifted the box cover aside, and the things inside were exposed to everyone's eyes.
"This..." The shopkeeper was shocked.
Han Yan tilted her head and smiled, "Shopkeeper, estimate the price."
"What's the point of this girl?" The old shopkeeper's face retracted: "Are you kidding me?"
Han Yan said: "Does the shopkeeper not recognize this thing?"
The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this. To be honest, he really didn't recognize what was in front of him, and it looked too ordinary. Since he was doing business in Fuguilou, he had seen countless treasures every day, but his eyes were poisonous. Although the girl in front of him was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked pretty, his cautious attitude made him not to underestimate the things in the other party's hands, but he didn't expect that when he opened it, he saw such a thing.
He looked at the box again and was sure that it was not a treasure. He was a little displeased: "I recognized it, it was also a worthless one! If the girl had nothing else, she could just go to other shops to pawn it."
Before Han Yan could speak, Shuhong said, "Old shopkeeper, if you let our girl go like this, I'm afraid your master will blame you if he knows it."
The owner of the pawnshop and restaurant in Fuguilou is not the old man in front of him, but Jiang Yulou, the richest man in the world. He has a great way to do business. However, when he was young, he did his business so big and opened such a decent shop in Beijing.
The old shopkeeper looked at the girl in front of him. She was small and had a confident smile on her baby-fat little face. She stared at him calmly, as if she was very sure that the thing was a treasure. She became suspicious at the moment, but then heard Han Yan say, "Good care, your master is here, and you will definitely not scold you."
The old shopkeeper glanced at her and finally made up his mind to say to a servant beside him: "Go and tell me, the young master, this girl has a big deal to do."
