In the early morning, Xu Chen appeared in the guest room facing the street on the second floor of Daming Dynasty [Youjian Inn]. The person living next door to him was Ding Daniu.

Xu Chen paid for these two rooms on a monthly basis. They were not expensive, only twenty or thirty taels of silver and one-thirtieth of a glass bead.

the next day,

He was woken up by a knock on the door and said, "Come in."

crunch,

The door was pushed open, and Ding Daniu walked in. When he saw Xu Chen, there was a hint of joy on his face: "Master, are you back?"

In the mornings of the past two days, Ding Daniu would knock on the door every day. If no one was there, he would ask the waiter to bring food to the room to eat.

As the contact gradually increased, Ding Daniu gradually lost his fear of Xu Chen, and even felt a little inexplicable joy when he saw the young master.

"Is everything okay?" Xu Chen asked as he got up.

"It's nothing... I really have something to do. Master, please wait." Ding Daniu went out, turned around and brought someone with him.

Plop,

The man entered the house and knelt on the ground.

Xu Chen looked over and saw that it was Liu Zhongwen, the clerk at Xinglong Pawnshop. He couldn't help but asked strangely: "What's going on?"

Liu Zhongwen didn't say anything, but Ding Daniu said at the side: "Liu Shusheng's son is sick, and he wants to ask for some money from the young master to treat his son's illness.

I came here last night and have been waiting until now.”

Xu Chen was a little surprised. People from Xinglong Pawnshop couldn't ask for more money than themselves, right?

"If you're asking for money, why don't you ask for your prosperous employer instead of asking for money from me? We only have one relationship, right?"

"Zhongwen really has no other choice but to seek mercy from the young master and save the lives of the villain's family. The villain will remember the young master's great kindness and virtue."

Xu Chen smiled after hearing this: "Today I will show mercy, and tomorrow I will show mercy. Master, I am not the Buddha sitting on the lotus platform in the temple, so why should I show you mercy?"

How much is your memory worth?"

Liu Zhongwen looked miserable. He was originally a scholar who had read books from sages and sages, with a rich mind and poetry. However, he did not expect that he wasted half his life just because of his appearance.

Finally, he left for the southwest border and settled down here for the rest of his life.

Can,

If the hemp rope breaks at a thin spot, the fate of the poor person will be at stake!

After giving birth to a son with a strange disease, seeking medical advice and borrowing money to survive is not a long-term solution.

Liu Zhongwen also borrowed it from his employer. After borrowing it several times, the wages stopped working.

I heard from doctors that if you have hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver, you can go to a big city and spend a few years to recover.

Liu Zhongwen hated himself for being incompetent and didn't want his son to live a miserable life, so he begged him.

He didn't know who Young Master Xu was, but judging from his dress, speech and behavior, he thought that with one thousand eight hundred taels of silver, it might be just a piece of cake for a rich and powerful person like him.

Even if he died because of this, as long as his son could live a healthy and happy life from now on, he would have nothing more to ask for.

boom

boom

boom

Seeing that words were useless, Liu Zhongwen could only kowtow hard, because apart from this life, he really didn't know what else he could do to impress the other party.

Within a few strokes, Liu Zhongwen's forehead was already bleeding.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey."

Xu Chen was neither a saint nor a virgin, but he couldn't bear to see a grown man act like this in front of him. He took out a glass bead from his pocket and threw it on the wooden floor.

Da da da da,

The beads jumped on the floor and made a crisp sound. Xu Chen said impatiently:

"I'll give you a bead, and you can go wherever you like, but there's one thing. You're not allowed to sell it in Tengchong City. Do you hear me?"

"Thank you for your mercy, sir. Thank you for your mercy, sir."

Liu Zhongwen's emaciated body, his head banging loudly, Xu Chen was afraid that he would knock his brains out in the next second.

"Okay, okay, don't be an eyesore or make me upset. Take the beads back carefully."

Liu Zhongwen hurriedly picked up the beads, kowtowed at one end, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. After the villain has settled the dog, he will come back and do the hard work of the dog and horse. Even if he dies, he will have no regrets."

After saying that, he left. After leaving the inn, he secretly wiped his eyes.

he knows,

In this world, some people are born to enjoy glory and wealth, while some people are born to let others enjoy them.

He doesn't complain, he just hates!

I hate those who are born with power in the world, why can't I show a little mercy?

..

After Liu Zhongwen left, Xu Chen and Ding Daniu took a quick bite and went out.

At Xinglong Pawn Shop, Xu Chen walked around the screen at the door and saw the old shopkeeper standing behind the counter, holding a fist-sized celadon cup in his hand.

Standing under the counter was a man in blue robes in his early twenties, with an angry look on his face: "Why isn't it from the previous dynasty? This is something that has been around since my great-grandfather was alive. I heard that it was still a reward at that time, so why don't you give it to me?"

My twenty-two taels of silver?"

The old shopkeeper twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Mr. Kan, I gave you these twenty-two taels of silver because you are a regular customer. Otherwise, there would be no twenty-two taels."

If you feel that you have lost money or it is not worth it, you can take it back and see who can give me more, but I tell you that if you come back again, it may not be the same price."

Sadness and anger flashed across the face of the young man named Kan, and he spoke again: "Shopkeeper Qiu, please give me a little more, twenty-five taels, and I will die for you. Do you think this is feasible?"

"Only twenty-two taels, not a penny more."

Mr. Kan hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "Twenty, twenty-two taels is twenty-two taels. Shopkeeper Qiu, please bring the money."

Shopkeeper Qiu smiled, weighed it with a small scale, and gave three pieces of silver, two large and one small, to the man. The man put the pawn tickets and silver into his arms and hurried away.

He didn't even glance at Xu Chen and Ding Daniu.

"Haha, Mr. Xu, I haven't seen you in a few days and his style is more prosperous than before. I am very envious of you."

"Shopkeeper Qiu, you're fine."

"Why do you have time to see the old man today?"

"It's not leisure. Nowadays, gold can't help but be spent. What was exchanged a few days ago, there is not much left today.
