Chapter 27
Wen Yunxian, who was negotiating with the left shopkeeper, did not let go so quickly.
"Shopkeeper Zuo, you can pawn the jade pendant to you, but you have to tell me who asked you to help me?"
"Zuo doesn't understand the girl's meaning." Zuo Shopkeeper stroked his short beard and said, "Zuo and the girl have never met before. But he just heard your conversation with Zhangguan Yin, and felt unbearable to the girl, so he wanted to help the girl."
"I believe in the shopkeeper Zuo Renshan, but I don't believe that there is such a cheap thing in the world." Wen Yunxian stared at the shopkeeper Zuo with a cautious look on her face.
This left shopkeeper has heard of something in her previous life.
On the surface, he seemed to be a honest shopkeeper, but the Nange Fanfang was not simple. The young master of Duke An Guo in his previous life relied on this Fanfang to collude with the Jiang family thief. When the news came out, it alarmed the entire court and the public.
However, it was also the left shopkeeper who was the first to take the lead in donating a thousand taels of gold when a severe drought occurred in the south and helped the eldest prince make a good start in disaster relief.
Such a person is not as simple as she sees on the surface. She has never been exposed to her in her previous life and does not want to be involved too much in this life.
The shopkeeper Zuo chuckled: "Zuo is a businessman, so he naturally won't do business that loses money."
"Why did the shopkeeper help me?"
"I'm sure that Miss Zuo likes jade and has collected some good jade."
Wen Yunxian looked puzzled: "But this jade hairpin is not a good jade."
That was bought by Prime Minister Wen when he was young. At that time, he was just a poor and poor man who was full of poetry and books but was poor.
"Because this jade hairpin was sold from Zuo that year."
"What?" Wen Yunxian was surprised.
The shopkeeper left looked away and looked at me: "It's a coincidence. More than ten years ago, Zuo was a clerk in Yuhanlou. One day, a scholar and his wife came to see the jade, and they fell in love with the jade hairpin at a glance. Although the jade was not as valuable as it is now, it still cost fifty taels of silver. The scholar did not have so much money, and his wife was considerate and said that she didn't like the jade hairpin and wanted to see the style next to it.
At that time, there was a guy with me, who was unrestrained.
He said: "If you have poor scholars, don't be slapped as a fat man, you have to buy jade if you don't have money."
The scholar was furious when he heard this, and pulled his wife away. Before leaving, he told the clerk that he wanted him to wait and he would want this hairpin tomorrow.
We all thought that the scholar had just made a harsh word for his sake. But he didn't expect that he would come the next day and took a full fifty taels of silver and bought the jade hairpin.
Zuo thought that this matter was over. But a few months later, the scholar came on the streets and walked over. When he passed by Yuhanlou, he personally asked the mate to apologize to him, and told the shopkeeper not to be aware of his own eyes.
Therefore, Zuo's impression of this jade hairpin was particularly profound."
Wen Yunxian felt sad when she heard this and asked, "Does the shopkeeper remember that when the scholar came to buy it, did that lady come?"
"I've come. It's an enviable thing for the scholar to buy a jade hairpin for the wife, but I saw that the wife seemed very sad, and she didn't feel happy even if she wore the jade hairpin."
Of course I can't be happy.
For this so-called love-taking thing, her grandmother's only relics were sold.
"Miss, but what's wrong?"
Wen Yunxian shook her head: "No. So just because she is destined to be with this jade hairpin, the shopkeeper left wants to help me?"
"This is the first. The second thing is, Zuo said just now that Zuo likes to collect jade. Although the jade hairpin taken by the girl is not very good, the jade pendant you used to mortgage is of excellent quality. The girl asked the girl to use this 300 taels of silver to pawn this jade pendant for three months.
Zuo thought that if the girl couldn't pay back the three hundred taels in March, then the jade pendant would be Zuo's. Even if she paid it back, then Zuo could play with this jade pendant as she wished in the past few months. Wouldn't it be a kill of two birds with one stone?" Zuo's shopkeeper smiled proudly after saying that.
Wen Yunxian's doubts disappeared: "Thank you, the shopkeeper left, for telling you frankly. I will come to redeem this jade pendant within three months."
"Okay, then Zuo will write this pawn contract for the girl, and ask this shopkeeper Yin from Yuhanlou to be a guarantee."
Manager Yin, who was standing beside him, shook his head and pretended to be angry: "Old man Zuo, you are so unrighteous. You have snatched Yin's business and want Yin to come as a guarantee!"
"Haha, Old Man Yin, this girl can't bear to bear this jade pendant. You are the one who refuses to be lenient, so it is natural for Zuo to give a compromise. In this way, if you take the money and she gets a hairpin, Zuo has temporarily kept the jade pendant. Isn't it the best of all the best?"
"Hmph, the best of all three things? I'm afraid it's the most beautiful old man Zuo!"
Manager Yin and Manager Zuo have been friends for many years, so they would not dispel their old friend's face for a small jade pendant. Although he also felt that the jade pendant had an extraordinary origin. However, those who are involved in the business world in the capital know that there are some things, and it is better to get involved less than it can be.
The shopkeeper Yin was the guardian, and Wen Yunxian signed a pawn contract with the shopkeeper Zuo, and then solemnly handed the jade pendant to the shopkeeper Zuo.
"Shopkeeper Zuo, this jade pendant is very important to me, and I hope you can keep it well."
"This is naturally. Please rest assured by the girl."
He handed over the three hundred taels of silver he got from the shopkeeper left to the shopkeeper Yin, and Wen Yunxian got the jade hairpin as she wished.
Before leaving, the shopkeeper left called Wen Yunxian aside alone.
"Miss, I see you value this jade hairpin so much, which shows that you are very clear about its origin."
Wen Yunxian's face remained unchanged: "Shopkeeper Zuo, what do you want to say?"
"Zuo wanted to remind the girl. The scholars back then were no longer the same. This jade hairpin once ruined his face, but now it is probably a thorn in his heart. It's better for the girl not to let the jade hairpin appear in front of that person again."
Wen Yunxian was shocked when she heard this.
So, is it because of this?
...
Cheng Xin was waiting at the door of the wing room, listening to the door next door opening, and then he saw Wen Yunxian and Yueya flashing through the crack of the door gradually fading away, and then opened the door.
"Minqi, go upstairs and tell them that I feel uncomfortable, so I'll go back first."
After Cheng Xin said that, he followed Wen Yunxian's departure.
"Miss, there is also the left shopkeeper." Wenqi reminded behind her.
Cheng Xin waved his hand: "Don't worry about it now. After you go up, see if they have any movement?"
"Miss refers to-"
"Have you sent someone to follow the girl just now?"
Although Wenqi did not understand Cheng Xin's intention to do this, she still nodded in agreement.
When Cheng Xin arrived at the lobby, the items on the platform were still presented one by one, causing a climax in the building.
More and more people came in, and Wen Yunxian could not be seen at first sight.
Mei Ran pointed to the door and said, "Miss, here!"
