Xu Xianchun finally pawned his mother's golden hairpin, weighed one or six cents, and exchanged it for six or five cents of silver.

Something happened at that time.

Xu Xianchun’s mother’s golden hairpin was brought out from the palace by Princess Jiashan, and it had the mark of a silver in the palace.

The pawn shop was suspicious when they saw the marks in the palace, so they calmly dragged Xu Xianchun and sent someone to the county government to report to the official.

Fortunately, Xu Xianchun had vouchers and household letters for the martial arts exam results, and was not like a bandit, so the county government's constables did not randomly lock people up.

However, the words "The royal relatives are just like this" when the constable left made Xu Xianchun a little angry.

After anger, people calmed down. What the constables said was the fact that the grandson of the princess had fallen to the pawn of the princess. What else in the world is more shameful than this.

If it weren't for the ambition, Xu Xianchun would not have done anything that would insult his ancestors.

The current price of gold is one tael of exchange for eight taels of silver, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for 40 small flat coins. Therefore, the people in the pawnshop bid lower because Xu Xianchun chose to live.

The rules of pawnshops are that if you die, you will not redeem it in the future, so the bid will naturally be higher. If you live, you can redeem it in the future, so the bid will naturally be lower.

However, this pawn shop is still a bit dark. Maybe it was because Xu Xianchun was young and a down-and-out person. I thought that the family was mostly down, so I bullied him.

Xu Xianchun didn't mind this matter, and was about to go to Beijing. The expenses of these few taels of silver would be enough. If the pawnshop was priced at a high price, it would also add the burden of redemption to him in the future.

After all, the family did not support him in the martial arts exam. Even if Xu Xianchun was able to pass the martial arts exam this time, I am afraid his father would still be unhappy.

Without the family's financial resources, Xu Xianchun was powerless in the short term just by wanting to redeem his grandmother's belongings. Therefore, the pawn shop paid him less money, which was a good thing for him.

After carefully folding the tickets, putting them in his arms and putting them away, and taking two taels of silver for the pawnshop to exchange for silver beans and Xiaoping money, Xu Xianchun found Wei Liangchen who was eating noodles and gave him five silver beans without saying a word.

Liangchen ate the dried cakes for several days, but he really couldn't stand it, so he became extravagant and bought a bowl of Yangchun noodles.

After a bowl of noodles, soup and water were all put on the stomach, Liangchen burped comfortably and caught a glimpse of Zhang Cha who was hesitating outside. He thought that this guy probably had no money in his hands.

But it deserves it. If Zhang Cha was not fooled by the fat man on the road, he would not have lost his money, and he would not have eaten a day. It really fits the old saying that pitiful people must have something hateful.

Liangchen is not in the mood to help a gambling man, he is all poor man himself.

I never thought that I just laughed at myself as a poor man, but suddenly I had money to come to my house.

.........

Holding the five silver beans given by Xu Xianchun, the good minister was in a dilemma.

He didn't even think about Xu Xianchun's love for "borrowing cakes", nor did he expect Xu Xianchun to have a golden hairpin hidden on him. At the beginning, the good minister wanted Xu Xianchun, a ruthless man from the future eunuch, to owe him this kindness and have a good deal in the future.

Unexpectedly, the man suddenly became rich and generously gave him five silver beans. If it was replaced with small flat money, it would be no less than thirty.

How much is a big cake worth? How many pieces are added to one piece of cake is probably worth three or four small square pieces.

Xu Xianchun's kindness was a bit too great, which made the situation reverse.

In other words, the value is seriously unequal.

If Wei Liangchen accepted it, it would make people feel that he was greedy for money. Although, he essentially likes yellow and white things.

There are a few people in the world who don’t like money.

No matter in the past and present, good ministers love money.

Unfortunately, he had no money in his previous life, but he still had no money in this life. To be precise, the current good ministers still have a long way to go before becoming a little Qiansui. Therefore, money is still very important to the current good ministers.

However, Liangchen didn't want Xu Xianchun's money - a few silver beans are not as good as their friendship with one of the five Biaos.

The good minister was very distressed. Judging from Xu Xianchun's attitude, he could not refuse. But he felt embarrassed to accept the "heavy reward" from others.

But, what should I do?

After Xu Xianchun "repaid" Brother Wei's affection, he also ordered the bowl of Yangchun noodles. He was eating it at this moment, but he didn't notice that Brother Wei was struggling with the money in his hand.

After thinking about it, Liangchen decided to accept the money first. If he had to repay it to Xu Xianchun now, he would be unhappy if he was afraid that this person would be unhappy.

There were people coming and going outside, and Liangchen didn't want to stage a scene of rushing to pay for money. He thought that he would return it to Xu Xianchun when there was no one on the way, and then say some heart-to-heart words, which left a deeper impression on the other party. Even if Xu Xianchun still wanted to give it to him, then accept it.

Xu Xianchun is not a mother-in-law, and the good minister cannot leave this impression on him.

There were many passengers who were eating noodles at the noodle stall who were traveling with Liangchen, but a few of them got off the bus and left after arriving in Jinghai. They bought tickets to Jinghai.

Like later generations, tickets for bus services in various places are not sold at a single terminal. There are many guests getting on and off the bus along the way.

Zhang Bing and Xiaolang of the Pan family are people with status. One works as a servant in the palace and the other is a scholar. They will not be like Liangchen and others. It is not that they will not eat at a street stall without a choice.

The two of them went to a fairly high-end restaurant. They sat at the table by the window upstairs, ordered a few side dishes, and ate while talking and laughing.

It must have been Pan Xuezhong's invitation when he came out, his father gave him a lot of money and asked him to make friends with Zhang Bing, the palace supervisor.

During the meal, Pan Xuezhong accidentally mentioned the matter of the Tianjin Taxation Envoy Ma Tang that he had heard of. Zhang Bing hurriedly stopped him, so that the young man would not at least make things happen.

Jinghai County belongs to the Three Guards of Tianjin, and Zhang Bing is not sure if there are Eunuch Ma here. When he was in the palace, he heard from his colleagues that Eunuch Ma has many idle people in the territory of Tianjin. These ears and ears are like those of the Dongchang. It is precisely because of the many ears and eyes that Eunuch Ma can sit steadily in Tianjin and can react immediately whenever there is any movement.

Zhang Bing dared not think about what the outcome would be if he offended Eunuch Ma.

The ancestor of the Silijian was not afraid, the elder Gao of Liaodong was not afraid, the governor of the Jinyiwei was not afraid, but the chief of the Baochao Department was very afraid.

Perhaps, the guest at this restaurant may be the eyes and ears of Eunuch Ma.

Zhang Bing subconsciously glanced at the restaurant clerk who was serving food on the table, and for no reason he envied Eunuch Ma in Tianjin.

This mentality is just like the villagers who envied him when he returned home in glory.

Everyone in the world envys high positions, but who knows that high positions are too cold, and there are people outside of them.

But I don’t know when I will be as glorious as Eunuch Ma?

Zhang Bing sighed secretly.

Outside the noodle stall, people in the carriage were greeted to get on the car.

Three guests went down the big carriage where Liangchen was, and two more people came. They were a young couple who returned to their parents' home in Beijing. The old man who loved to smoke drip cigarettes got off the car and left, and the Chen family mother and daughter who came to Beijing to find their husbands were still there.

The cart headed north and left Jinghai County, not far from Tongzhou.

The road has been very stable these days. The Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyi Tiqi who appeared a few days ago have never appeared again. No one has mentioned the fat man again.

Tongzhou is a prosperous place and a gateway to the capital. Merchants from all over the country gather here.
