Chapter 18 The Pawnshop Boss
In front of Xingsheng pawnshop, Bai Ji got off the carriage with a box in his arms.
There are many pawn shops in Dajin, but if you want to say that it is more formal, it is Xingsheng pawn shop.
This pawn shop has opened shops in various places in Dajin, so it has a good reputation and the price it gives is fair.
"Shopkeeper, I want to pawn, please tell me about it in the private room."
Wang Cheng looked at the girl in front of him and said impatiently: "You can take it out here if you are not old."
Bai Ji took out a delicately carved jade pendant from his arms. It looked valuable, but it wasn't enough to go to the private room.
Bai Ji patted the box placed underground and said, "I have a box of such things."
Bai Ji's light words made Wang Cheng dare not underestimate her.
"Please, girl." Wang Cheng took Bai Ji to the private room, and immediately a maid served excellent tea and snacks.
Wang Chengdao: "Can you please open the box?"
Baiji slowly opened the box, and the unpretentious box was filled with all kinds of rare jewelry.
"Dare you ask where the girl came from?" Wang Cheng suspected that he was here to sell the stolen goods.
Bai Ji was not panicked: "I remember that the rules of pawnshops do not ask about these, did the shopkeeper forget?"
Wang Cheng was choked and saw Bai Ji continue, "If the shopkeeper is not doing business with integrity, there is no need to negotiate." Bai Ji closed the box and made a move to leave.
But seeing that he is young or a woman, he has all kinds of doubts
"Miss, don't bother me, I'm just asking casually."
This girl has a pretty temper, so Wang Cheng stopped Bai Ji and gave up a smile.
Bai Ji didn't sit down with a cold face. Wang Cheng said: "What price do girls want to sell?"
"Five thousand taels." These things are worth the price.
The girl gave her a honest price. Wang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "It is impossible to decide such a large amount, and our small shop will not raise so much cash for a while. I hope the girl will forgive her for one day and ask me for instructions from above."
If you come out for two consecutive days, it will probably cause people to doubt: "I have something to do tomorrow, so it's better to have three days later."
"I wonder if the girl can leave the goods, our young master needs to look at it." Wang Cheng's tone was very polite, very different from before.
Although this was unruly, Xingsheng would not have been able to run away for such a little thing. Bai Ji nodded and agreed, but when he left, he took away the text written by Wang Cheng himself and pressed his handprints.
At night, the pawn shop is in full swing.
"Young master, should we accept these?"
The man in black opened the box, and suddenly his eyes sank. He took out a white jade fan from the bottom of the box and looked carefully.
"Who is the one who came to pawn?"
After careful recollection, Wang Cheng replied: "It's a young girl, dressed normally. Oh, by the way, I remember there was a mole in the corner of her eyes."
It's quite cute, but Wang Cheng didn't say this.
A mole at the corner of her eyes... It was indeed her.
"Please keep these things in hand, I've talked with her master before discussing them."
The man turned around and ordered: "Go and send a greeting to the third young master of the Yang family, saying that I will ask him to learn chess skills tomorrow."
This young lady of the Yang family is indeed interesting. She even took out the white jade fan she gave her for pawning, but it was not her fault. After all, no one knows who is behind Xingsheng.
"But we should leave what the above commands to do."
The man in black smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not a problem to delay for one day and a half."
The next day, Prince Jian'an's carriage was parked at the Yang family's gate.
"Jing Yun, you are a rare guest!" Yang Xiuyu patted his shoulder and smiled cheerfully.
Da Jin knew that Song Jingyun, the Crown Prince of Jian'an, rarely attended the banquet, so attending Yang Xuqiu's welcome banquet made Yang Yuan so jealous. But now he actually posted on the Yang Mansion himself, which is even more rare.
Song Jingyun said: "I have this skill and I want to ask you to have some competition."
"No problem, the study room is ready."
After Song Jingyun gave a post yesterday, Yang Xiuyu did not make any statement, but just told Yang Zheng.
Yang Zheng has always been a person who is not afraid of favor and disgrace, but he just ordered him to treat guests well. So the Yang Mansion did not make a lot of preparations, but Song Jingyun had already known the entire Yang Mansion in less than half a minute.
Including Yang Xuqiu, who was reading a book and basking in the sun, "Song Jingyun is so leisurely." She thought he would listen to her words to prepare food and grass.
Yang Xuqiu sighed almost unpredictably, but he couldn't save so many people after all.
Bai Ji said: "Miss, please be more concerned, maybe there are other considerations above."
Only Bai Ji went there that day, so she was the only one who understood why her lady sighed.
Bai Su also noticed Yang Xuqiu's loss and interrupted: "I heard that the lady was having dinner with the prince that day, and she was familiar with her. Why don't we go and say hello too."
Yang Xuqiu didn't raise her head and said lightly: "Do you think it's appropriate?"
Song Jingyun came to find Yang Xiuyu, so she came over to do something, and she was also a little dissatisfied with Song Jingyun. She looked like she was taught that day, but she seemed to be just a fool.
Bai Su was stunned by Yang Xuqiu's question, and Bai Ji explained: "The prince is a foreign man. If the lady is not summoned, she will be discussed without rules."
Yang Xuqiu didn't say anything, but obviously agreed with Bai Ji's words. Bai Su's face turned thin and her face immediately turned red and lowered her head.
"Miss, the third master asked me to invite you to come."
The person who came was Fang Zhan, Yang Xiuyu's servant. He was panting and sweating profusely, and he saw that he was coming.
Yang Xuqiu asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to the third brother?"
"Not this. The third young master and the prince lost three games in a row. Please go and save the court, Miss." Fang Zhan couldn't help but tremble when he thought of his young master's blue face.
Yang Xuqiu's thoughts changed and said, "Then go, Baiji, go with me."
Bai Ji replied in a low voice, and the two of them arrived at the study room soon.
"Please pay tribute to the prince." Yang Xuqiu's politeness was a complete remark, but he scolded Song Jingyun countless times in his heart. He knew that his third brother could not match at all, but he came to him to play chess. If he had said that there was no other reason, she would not believe it.
"Hurry, sister, please help your third brother get a plate and rub Jing Yun's sharpness!"
He lost three games in a row but was not angry. What should I complain about if I was not as good as others?
Having your own brother present, playing chess with the prince is not a big deal.
Yang Xuqiu sat down like a stream of kindness. Her slender fingers, like a scallion root, picked up the black piece and placed it in the center of the chessboard.
