Pampered Pastoral: Orion’s Delicious Little Lady

"If you talk about my pear blossom, then I will definitely scold your Chuntao. The two of us are each other."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Zhou stopped looking at her, but the disdainful look seemed to be engraved on her face.

The aunt never expected that Mrs. Zhou would be so sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. She just said a few words about Song Lihua, but this time Mrs. Zhou actually said a lot of words to refute her.

Mr. Zhou was not like this before. When did he become so eloquent?

Lu Chuntao's aunt murmured twice, but she didn't dare to talk back to Mrs. Zhou anymore.

Although Zhou seems to be gentle and elegant now, there seems to be an aura that suppresses everything present.

After Zhou arrived in the town, she deliberately avoided the street where Song Lihua set up her stall for business.

She turned left and right and walked to the corner of a busy street. After looking around at the door for a while and seeing no one she recognized, she walked into the corner shop.

Anyone who can read can see that there is a big word "Dang" painted with red paint on the top of this shop.

Zhou entered a pawn shop.

There was an old gentleman sitting at the counter in the pawn shop, with a gray beard and shrewd eyes.

She opened the small bundle, placed it on the counter, and pushed the item in front of the old gentleman.

Wrapped in the cloth bag were some jewelry.

The old gentleman took the cloth bag and picked up every hairpin and bracelet and looked at it carefully.

"Approximately how much money can be paid?" Zhou was a little worried, but still asked calmly.

The old gentleman polished the jade bracelet, raised his hand and put it in front of his eyes to see the color, and said, "All of them can be worth nineteen taels."

Nineteen taels... seems a bit too little.

Zhou's eyes were deep, and there was still a shortfall of thirty taels. We couldn't raise the price to thirty taels from nineteen taels, right?

At this point, if you can get one or two more, you can count it as one or two, and the rest will be figured out separately.

"Old sir, look at it, is it 20%?" Zhou asked.

"Tsk..." The old man put the jewelry back into the cloth bag and said with a smile: "Madam, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that you have raised the price. How can I make money back? I am not a pawn shop. Serving the people, I also have to make a living."

Zhou nodded: "Of course I know. Ordinary people pawn for one month, but I only need half a month. If I don't come to redeem them within half a month, these jewelry will be disposed of by the old gentleman."

The old man at the pawn shop raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Zhou seriously.

Although this lady's face was firm, a hint of reluctance could still be seen.

I guess these jewelry are also very important to her.

However, who would not have difficulty coming to this pawn shop to pawn something?

"That's all." The old gentleman packed up the cloth bag, gave Zhou a pawn ticket, and then took out four ingots of silver from the drawer and pushed them in front of Zhou: "Please count them clearly, one ingot and five taels."

Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her profusely after taking the money.

Of course the pawnshop is not that stupid. How could Zhou's jewelry be worth only nineteen taels? If Zhou didn't redeem the jewelry with silver money within half a month, the old man could sell the jewelry for twenty-five taels!

Zhou was in urgent need of money, and of course she couldn't bargain too much with the old man. She was very content to be able to raise the price to twenty taels.
