The Prematurely Deceased Fiance Dressed As a Heroine - Chapter 37
“Two taels of silver, no more.” The pawnshop shopkeeper said confidently at the counter across the fence.
Wen Fei frowned fiercely, and his young face was not angry and pretentious. It’s a pity that no matter how powerful she was, she couldn’t shake the heart of the shopkeeper. The latter looked indifferent and didn’t even look at her, and didn’t care about the sharp dagger on the counter, showing that love was inappropriate.
The little general, who had never felt this kind of anger, didn’t even bother to say extra words. He grabbed his dagger back, then turned and left. Until she walked out of the pawnshop and walked on the street, Li Ling who had been behind her whispered: “This pawnshop is already the fairest in Shuangxi Town, not to mention a dagger for two taels of silver, which is quite a lot. “
That’s right, Wen Fei didn’t accept Li Ling’s wolf skin, but chose to **** his dagger to raise travel expenses. At first she killed the wolf, but when she didn’t want it, Li Ling skinned the wolf and prepared to sell it. She really didn’t have the face to come back. Secondly, a few wolf skins were not worth anything. She and Chu Xi had to find someone to lead the way, and they had to buy a horse or rent a carriage to travel. A few wolf skins were not enough.
In the end, Wen Fei has not given up the idea of using money to send away the hero. That being the case, she couldn’t bear the love of the male lead, and it was even more impossible to use a few wolf skins to send people away, or the other party’s own wolf skin.
After thinking about it, the little general decided to **** his dagger, but he didn’t expect the pawnshop to offer such a low price.
It is true that ordinary daggers are not very valuable, and you can buy new daggers for two cents in the street blacksmith’s shop. How can the dagger that can be treasured personally as a little general be an ordinary thing? That dagger was cut as iron as mud, and it was also the spoil she snatched back from the Northern Barbarian King’s court. Not to mention it was worth a lot of money, and it fell into the hands of the people who loved it. A hundred gold was always willing.
Wen Fei didn’t want to explain to Li Ling about this, just like her and Chu Xi’s identities, she didn’t intend to disclose to Li Ling knows-future encounters are hard to say, but at least artificial intersections can still be avoided.
Wen Fei kept walking forward without sending a single glance. Li Ling knew that she was determined when she saw it, so she sighed to follow.
In the end, Li Ling led the way, and the three of them went to another pawnshop to ask for the price. The shopkeeper turned out to be even more outrageous. He raised a finger and said to Wen Fei: “One or two silver, no more money.”
Wen Fei was so angry that there were probably not many pawnshops in such a small town. So in the end she still patiently argued with two sentences: “My dagger is made of a hundred steelmaking, and the iron is cut like mud. Why is it only worth one or two silver?!”
The shopkeeper of the pawnshop is naturally not lacking in eyesight, and he can also see that Wen Fei’s temperament is not like ordinary people. But the **** shop is naturally dark and not afraid of things. He is even more bullying when he sees Wen Fei’s face. He sneered suddenly: “If it weren’t for the sharpness of your dagger and the smoothness of cutting fruits, you thought I would make one or two. Cash? This money is enough for me to go out and buy several daggers.”
Wen Fei is not stupid. She naturally saw that the shopkeeper was cheating and the price offered by the other party was not as good as the previous one, so she naturally picked up the dagger and left.
There are only three pawnshops in the entire Shuangxi Town. Two pawnshops cannot be visited, and the third one is naturally not much better. And as Li Ling said, the first family he took was already the fairest pawnshop in town, and the other two paid even less.
The only dagger was not sold at a price, Wen Fei was somewhat depressed, looking at the dagger in his hand, still a little worried.
Chu Xi didn’t speak during the whole follow, until then she suddenly said, “It’s better to go back to the first house.”
Li Ling thought that Chu Xi felt that the first pawnshop was more fair, and did not say anything, so he went to lead the way. On the contrary, Wen Fei’s face was reddened, and he didn’t know whether he was ashamed or annoyed. He gritted his teeth and was not embarrassed to see Chu Xi.
The three of them went around the town, and finally went back to the first pawnshop. The shopkeeper of that pawnshop originally looked indifferent, and he didn’t even bother to look at their appearance. At this moment, seeing the people come back, he couldn’t help but smile, somewhat triumphantly: “I knew you had to come back. It’s not the old man’s boasting. , The pawnshop in this town is only my house the fairest.”
Wen Fei heard that her face was a little dark, and Li Ling also saw that her face could not be hung up, so she stepped forward and threw her wolf skin on the counter: “I also want to sell this wolf skin. Look at the shopkeeper, I How much are these wolf skins worth?”
The shopkeeper didn’t get entangled when he heard the words. He rummaged through the wolf skins, but shook his head: “The leather is good, but the peeling method is unfamiliar, let alone the nitration… I see you wolf. I don’t plan to redeem the skin anymore. So, one wolf skin will give you two taels of silver, five pieces equals ten taels. If you find it suitable, you can treat it as if it suits you.
As usual, the price given by the shopkeeper is not high, but compared with Wen Fei’s dagger, it seems a lot more reasonable.
Wen Fei’s face turned darker, and Chu Xi grabbed her hand just as she wanted to say something. At this moment, she was angry and didn’t care about the others. When she looked back subconsciously, she wanted to ask Chu Xi what she was doing.
As a result, before Wen Fei could speak, she saw Chu Xi holding her hand in one hand, and a jade pendant on the other hand, and said to the shopkeeper: “Look at the shopkeeper, how much is my jade worth?”
The shopkeeper had just negotiated a deal with Li Ling, and he casually turned his head back when he heard the words. The result was that he couldn’t remove the jade pendant in Chu Xi’s hand at the first glance-he naturally saw a lot of good things when he opened a **** shop, but the things in the small town are no matter how good they are. , But also inferior to the heritage of the family. The jade pendant in Chu Xi’s hand is warm and transparent, even if people who don’t know the goods read it, they will praise it for being beautiful.
It is rare to see such a good jade, the shopkeeper lost his attitude for a moment, but after all, he was a business man, and soon put away his expression. Then the old man stroked his beard, pretending to be indifferent: “This jade looks good at first glance, but you have to read it carefully before you can count it.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Xi put the jade pendant on the counter, but was stopped by Wen Fei reaching out.
Pawnshops can live and die, but even if they are live, it is risky to put things in the pawnshop. Wen Fei knew that this jade was not something for Chu Xi to throw away, so he immediately took her to the side and whispered, “I said I don’t need your jade. I have an official seal on me, so I can borrow some from an official office, or ask. Li Ling can borrow something.”
She said it lightly, but how could Chu Xi not understand the embarrassment? She sighed softly and looked at Wen Fei’s gaze: “But there is no official office in Shuangxi Town. The nearest county office is 80 miles away. Are you still taking me over the mountains? As for Li Ling, I watch you. I don’t want to entangle him more, so why owe this favor?”
Chu Xi read Wen Fei thoroughly, but Wen Fei heard Chu Xi’s last sentence, but another sentence came to mind inexplicably-why should you owe others favors? Since you want to owe it, it’s better to owe me!
Wen Fei thought of this for no reason, the roots of his ears turned red in an instant, and his eyes were slightly erratic.
Chu Xi didn’t know why Wen Fei was so good at behaving like this. She blinked, and turned around to put her jade pendant on the counter: “The shopkeeper will help me see. If this jade is good, how much money can it be?”
A pity flashed in his eyes when the shopkeeper heard that she was going to be alive, but he picked up the jade pendant and looked at it without much persuasion. As a result, he realized that the jade pendant not only looked transparent and flawless, but also had a warm jade in the tentacles, and he liked it even more now. In the end he played it a bit and gave a quotation in deep thought: “If you live for three months, two hundred taels. If you die, I can double it for you.”
For the pawnshop shopkeeper who digs out, this is really a sky-high price, but it is naturally incomparable with the true value of jade pendant.
Fortunately, Chu Xi didn’t care. Her brother was in Jiangzhou. This time, she only needed to raise enough to go to Jiangzhou. Must count.
Chu Xi thought about it silently, thinking that two hundred taels was enough, so he nodded and said: “In that case, I will be redeemed in three months.”
The shopkeeper was not surprised when he heard this. He had a pair of sharp eyes to see that Chu Xi and Wen Fei had extraordinary backgrounds, and now the objects on the **** were just dealing with temporary difficulties. If his pawnshop was not opened in this remote town, he would really be happy to give them some bargains, and it would be considered a good relationship. Unfortunately, there is no if, so he can earn as much as he can.
A big deal was done, and the shopkeeper was also very happy, and happily took out the bills and started filling out.
On the other side, Wen Fei didn’t stop him, but he was still a little unhappy with her lips tight. When the shopkeeper finished filling out the ticket, she took the lead in taking it, and then said to Chu Xi: “Don’t worry, I will send someone to redeem it when we get to Jiangzhou.”
With such a big government office in Jiangzhou Prefecture, with Wen Fei’s status as a general, it is impossible to borrow money. And when Chu Xi arrived in Jiangzhou, she also had an elder brother to take refuge, and after going back to her hometown in Jiangnan, she would never worry about these things again.
In short, as long as you arrive in Jiangzhou, all problems will be solved, and neither of them will be short of money and don’t have to worry about these many.
Because of this, Chu Xi did not stop Wen Fei’s actions, and she acquiesced in what she said. However, the shopkeeper raised his eyes and looked at Wen Fei more. Although there was no extra emotion in his eyes, he was uncomfortable looking at people-his fiancee became a jade pendant to support himself, which made Wen Fei very uncomfortable and felt like eating. Ruanfan’s little white face. More importantly, apart from getting along recently, the two of them are actually not familiar with each other.
Wen Fei became more embarrassed as he thought about it, but fortunately, the shopkeeper quickly took out the silver, and then took away Chu Xi’s jade pendant and put it away carefully. Then Chu Xi took Wen Fei and went out without turning her head back, but she couldn’t see how nostalgic it was.
Walking on the bustling street again, Chu Xi turned her head and smiled at Wen Fei: “Well, let’s go eat wonton now.”
Wen Fei looked at her smile in a daze, and the depression in her heart seemed to dissipate a lot.
Li Ling was very excited when he heard the topic. He rubbed his stomach and said, “Let’s go. Let’s go. Just now we were walking around the street and passing by the wonton stalls, smelling it called a sweet smell. I’m hungry early, and go now. Just eat one more bowl.”
As he spoke, he rushed to the front, not only because he was hungry, but he didn’t want to look at the two of them anymore.
Although Wen Fei and Chu Xi also followed, they obviously ignored him. Wen Fei took two steps and suddenly took his dagger out of his arms and handed it to Chu Xi, then said with a calm expression: “This dagger is for you to defend yourself, it’s not worth it anyway.”
Chu Xi was inexplicably amused by the rhetoric, and she was not polite after thinking about it, and took it as a gift.
The author has something to say: Wen Fei (complex mood): Suddenly he was taken care of, and suddenly he ate soft rice…
Chu Xi (thinking): Actually, my family has accumulated for generations. It’s really rich. Does the little general consider joining the family?
Li Ling: Real name envy! ! !
