After dressing as a villain's ex-wife, she went crazy for whitewashing

Naturally, Zhao Tianmao also wanted a piece of the pie, so he opened Zhao's pawn shop.

Pawnshops receive and sell. Except for live pawns, dead pawns have clearly marked prices, and there are also bids.

After all, there is no shortage of market for good things, and if one person likes it, there will be a second person.

This is the reason why the fisherman benefits when the snipe and the clam fight.

"It's okay to go and have a look, brother, you don't want to know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd?"

Zhao Pinqian pursed his lips, but said nothing.

Of course he wanted to know.

Zhao Tianmao came to Yannan from the capital, and invited them to watch the auction, the purpose of which was thought-provoking.

In addition, the Xiling people are also here.

"Then go and have a look." He agreed.

When the three returned home, Lu Xiyue began to collect all the movable cash on her body.

Xiao Yunheng was puzzled for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Why do you want so much money all of a sudden?"

There are no new shops to be opened at the moment, let alone any major expenditures.

Lu Xiyue didn't hide it from him, and said truthfully: "Tomorrow, Zhao's pawn shop will probably have the herbs I need."

There was consternation in Xiao Yunheng's eyes.

It is self-evident who the herbal medicine she needs is for, and he was surprised how she would know.

When the pawnshop's goods will be sold and when the goods will be received, no one has a fixed number.

"You... how do you know there will be herbs tomorrow?"

Lu Xiyue pursed her lips and gave a reason: "Intuition."

Xiao Yunheng paused slightly, and frowned at her.

He seriously suspected that she was fooling herself.

Lu Xiyue counted the bank notes, pretending not to see someone's suspicious expression.

After counting the silver, there are 1 taels of silver that can be controlled.

This amount of money, even in the capital, is a sky-high price, but in the business field, it is not enough.

The Great Xia Dynasty did not emphasize commerce, and merchants were not even comparable to ordinary people. They were regarded as cheap, but in the past two years, the status of merchants has improved with the commerce of various countries.

The next day, several people came to Zhao's pawn shop.

The surroundings of the pawn shop are well-arranged, unlike modern auctions, every item is placed on the booth, and there are staff to watch over it. If you like it, you can bid at will according to the reserve price. As long as no one bids, you can take it away.

From the hall to the second floor, there are hundreds of objects on display.

Lu Xiyue saw Zhao Tianmao at the counter talking to a man dressed in Xiling.

The two were talking and laughing, and their relationship was very good.

The hall was deserted and deserted, except for the buddies, there were only three or two people watching casually, but on the second floor, there was a lot of noise, and many people gathered together, not knowing what they were looking at.

Zhao Tianmao saw the three of them at this time, and walked over with a smile.

"It's just a coincidence that you guys came here. The things here are all under a hundred taels of silver." He pointed to the second floor, where the crowd is the most concentrated, "The east side of the second floor is about a thousand taels of silver. Is it the west side? Something of great value."

"Go up and have a look." Zhao Pinqian ignored him and went upstairs.

Lu Xiyue and Xiao Yunheng followed closely behind.

The stairs lead directly to the promenade on the east side, and more than 20 men gathered together, pointing to a huge cage and talking and laughing.

The cage is made of copper, surrounded by a circle of red gauze, even so, you can still see the graceful figure of the woman inside through the shadow.

"The female slaves in Xiling are said to have been trained by others. They are excellent at serving others. The price is so unfair."

"That's right, if this is in Xiling, you can buy a female slave for two taels of silver."

"It's not mentioned above, this female slave is a stunning beauty, she traveled thousands of miles from Xiling to our Yannan, so there is a reason why she is expensive."

"Hey, Boss Zhang, look at your posture, is it inevitable?"

The young man called Brother Zhang sighed and shook his wallet: "How dare you, the tigress at home is very powerful. If I bring a female slave back, she will have to kill me."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Lu Xiyue couldn't help frowning as she listened.

I didn't expect that girl to be used for bidding. Isn't this just human trafficking?

There was a burst of anger in her heart, but she was helpless.

Today's goal is medicinal materials, not extravagance.

Walking around the pawn shop, I saw wild ginseng sealed in a lacquered mahogany box, which was hundreds of years old.

This wild ginseng is the most common medicinal material among all medicinal materials, and it is difficult to find it because of this year.

A wild ginseng that is more than ten or twenty years old costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, let alone this one that is more than a hundred years old.

She glanced at the price and clenched her purse tightly.

Fortunately, only 1 taels are needed.

Seeing her staring at wild ginseng, Zhao Pinqian thought of her prescription list, "Need wild ginseng?"

Lu Xiyue nodded, and immediately called the guy next to her: "I want this wild ginseng."

The man smiled and took out the account book, "May I ask the girl's name."

Lu Xiyue announced her name.

The clerk wrote down her name and lit half of the incense next to the cabinet, "Please wait a moment, girl. If the incense burns out, if no one bids with the girl, this wild ginseng will belong to the girl."

"What if someone else wants it?"

"Then it depends on the girl's financial resources."

Zhao Pinqian snorted coldly, but in the past two or three years, Zhao Tianmao was good at collecting money.

Waiting for the incense to burn out, the few people had nothing to do, wandering around in the pawn shop.

In front of the cage where the girl is imprisoned here, there are already bids.

The base price is 1000 taels of silver.

The man in Xiling costume passed through the crowd, walked to the cage, and introduced the origin of the girl in the cage.

"Yingyue was originally the daughter of my Xiling nobleman. She was sentenced to slavery when her family was in decline. I brought her here to sell her for a good price. Everyone, please see."

The Xiling businessman spoke fluent Xia Wen, and then lifted the red veil outside.

There were sobbing sounds all around, as if they were amazed by the girl's beauty.

Different from yesterday's shabby clothes, the woman who had washed and washed put on Xiling's unique clothes, with silver ornaments hanging on her dark-colored Luo Qun, and she made a crisp and pleasant sound when she raised her hand a little.

Those timid eyes were misty, and his skin was whiter than snow, I felt pity for it.But the age of seventeen or eighteen is the best time.

"She is really a stunning beauty, and she is also a nobleman. This boss, I don't know if she has been married before."

One of the youths asked with a smile.

The Xiling businessman laughed: "Of course not. If you were married, it wouldn't be at this price."

Slaves who were married could not be sold for a good price.

If it weren't for the strict control over the slave trade in the capital for the past two years, they would not have chosen Yannan.

Although Yannan is good, it is still not as good as the capital.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are dignitaries everywhere, and a beautiful female slave can sell for 2000 taels of silver no matter what.

Seeing a group of men commenting on the girl in the cage, Lu Xiyue suddenly felt an unknown fire in her heart.
