Chapter 23 A Trip to the Pawn Shop
Qi Qingxi gave them pocket money for another purpose.
She wanted to send them all away so that it would be convenient for her to go out with her luggage.
Qi Qingxi took out a key and handed it to Qi Yunming: "This is the key of the house, I kept one, and put this one with you."
Qi Yunming took the key.
"I'm going to the market today to buy some ingredients and come back to prepare for the next thing. I won't take you with me. You can also take your siblings out for a stroll. If you are hungry, buy some food on the street and wait for me to come back Cook."
She also told Qi Yunming to take good care of her siblings, and there were so many people on the street that they must not get separated, Qi Yunming nodded.
Qi Qingxi sent them out first, and watched them walk out of the alley and turn left.
After waiting for a long time, she felt that they were already far away, so she went back to her room, took her bag and locked the door, and went out to the alley to the right. She deliberately chose to walk in the opposite direction from them, for fear of being bumped into by them as she walked.
Fortunately, she already knew the location of the pawn shop by stepping on it a little bit yesterday, but turning right on this road requires more detours, and she has to pass by the gate of the county government office.
It doesn't matter, as long as the three brothers and sisters don't see it, take a detour, it's better than watching them worry about this and that.
It's almost the end of the hour, and the sun is a little bit hot.
Qi Qingxi tried her best to walk by the side of the street where the sun was not exposed to the sun. She regretted not bringing out the hedge hat she used before.
After walking for about half an hour, Qi Qingxi finally saw a big "Dang" character.
She walked to the door and looked up at the shop sign, Yonglong Pawn Shop.
She raised her foot and walked in, completely unaware of a carriage parked not far behind her. The man in the carriage was raising the curtain to watch her.
That man was Gu Yu.
It was the busy season of farming, and Gu Yu spent these days touring the countryside to persuade customers to farm and mulberry.
The village I went to yesterday was a little far away from the county seat, and it happened that there was a dispute between two surnames in the village and he had to mediate, and he was busy until the sun went down.
The mountain road was inconvenient at night, and the city gate had already been closed by the time he returned to the city, so he simply stayed overnight in the village.
Fortunately, this was the last village he arranged for on tour, so he didn't have to go elsewhere tomorrow.
Even if this is the case, it doesn't mean that he is free. After he is busy with persuading farmers, he should be busy with various matters of the Dragon Boat Festival.
He set off back to the city at dawn this morning, and traveled for two hours before reaching the county seat.
As soon as he entered the city, Gu Yu raised the curtain of the car and took the opportunity to inspect the lives of the people.
As soon as the carriage turned into Suian Street, Gu Yu saw Qi Qingxi in the distance at a glance on the crowded street.
Holding a bundle in her hand, she was heading towards him along the eaves of the shop, pouted slightly from time to time, frowning lightly and stretching out her hand to block the glare of the sunlight shining through the gap between the shops. cute.
Gu Yu suddenly felt that the exhaustion of the past few days was swept away in his heart, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
It's just that what is this girl going to do with a burden?
"Gu Liang, stop the car."
He ordered Gu Liang to pull over the carriage, intending to see where Qi Qingxi wanted to go.
She stopped for a moment in front of a pawn shop, and then walked in.
She goes to the pawn shop to do...
He immediately remembered the conversation between her and Muramasa when he was eating at her home that day.
Both of her parents have passed away, and now she has to take care of her three younger siblings. She presumably has to come to the pawn shop because of the difficult livelihood.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu frowned slightly.
Not long after, he saw Qi Qingxi coming out of the pawn shop smiling.
Qi Qingxi was indeed happy.
She walked into the shop with her bag in her arms, and immediately a waiter came up to her and asked her what to order.
She replied, "Clothes."
Xiao Er showed embarrassment: "You should also know the rules of our pawn shop. The god robe and theatrical clothes are not appropriate. I'm afraid we can't accept your clothes."
Qi Qingxi really didn't know that the pawnshop had a rule of not accepting clothes.
There was no other way, she could only leave with her burden.
"Wait a minute, girl."
Before Qi Qingxi went out, she was stopped by someone, and she turned to look at the old man who stopped her.
"I am the shopkeeper of this pawnshop, can I show you what kind of clothes you want to pawn."
"Of course." She walked to the side table and unpacked the bundle.
The shopkeeper shook out the clothes and inspected them carefully. The brocade fabric is well-cut, finely crafted, and the color is very new without damage.
He put down his clothes: "Miss, these clothes are worth three taels if you are alive, and five taels if you are dead."
Qi Qingxi was a little surprised, didn't he say that he would not accept clothes?
The shopkeeper seemed to have seen Qi Qingxi's thoughts, stroked his beard and explained with a smile: "Although there is a saying in the pawn shop that the costumes of gods and costumes are inappropriate, it is to prevent clothes of unclear origin, not just Don't accept it at all, we can accept it for you."
He has been the shopkeeper of the pawnshop for so many years, and he thinks he has a good eye. The workmanship of this clothes is not so good in their small county.
It is estimated that it is a master in the provincial capital, and it must be a famous master to make it.
The clothes are collected, even if they are second-hand and put in the shop, they must be hot items.
The workmanship of the clothes should not be cheap, so he also gave a fair price.
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he glanced at the waiter next to him: "The guy is new here, and he is not very familiar with the rules yet."
Qi Qingxi knew that the clothes were not cheap, but she didn't expect to get so much money, so she chose to die without hesitation.
She took the pawn ticket from the shopkeeper and Dangjin left satisfied.
Seeing that she was so happy, Gu Yu couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth. Seeing her disappearing back into the crowd, he put away his smile.
"Gu Liang, you go... Forget it, I will go by myself."
After that, he jumped out of the car and strode towards the pawn shop.
Gu Liang, who was driving the car, looked at his young master with a confused face, what happened to his young master today.
The usually unsmiling young master suddenly laughed out loud in the car, that's all.
The young master called him to stop the carriage by the side of the road, and there was no movement for a long time. Now he called him suddenly, but jumped out of the carriage by himself, and went into the pawn shop.
What did the young master go to the pawn shop for? Could it be that he was short of money?
No way, not to mention the ones given by my uncle when the young master took office, even the young master's own property is quite rich, when did he run short of money.
Could it be that he stayed in the country for one night and got dazed by something bad?
The more Gu Liang thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was possible, and the more he thought about it, the sadder he became. He held his chest and sighed secretly.
It's all his fault, he didn't take good care of the young master, how should he explain to his uncle when he goes back, he is sorry for the young master and even more sorry for the deceased master.
Just as he was thinking wildly, Gu Yu had already come out of the pawnshop with a bundle in his hand.
He jumped into the car and told Gu Liang to take a detour to Yi Fangzhai first.
Yi Fangzhai is a famous dim sum shop in Ansui County. Gu Yu picked out a few boxes of dim sum in it before returning to the county office.
She wanted to send them all away so that it would be convenient for her to go out with her luggage.
Qi Qingxi took out a key and handed it to Qi Yunming: "This is the key of the house, I kept one, and put this one with you."
Qi Yunming took the key.
