"Two taels of silver, no more." The shopkeeper of the pawn shop said firmly at the counter across the fence.

Wen Fei frowned fiercely, his young face was not angry and pretentious.It's a pity that no matter how powerful she was, she couldn't shake the shopkeeper's heart. The latter didn't even look at her with a face of indifference, and didn't care about the sharp dagger on the counter, showing that love was wrong.

The little general, who had never been so angry before, didn't even bother to say a word, just grabbed his dagger back, turned around and left.It wasn't until she left the pawn shop and walked on the street that Li Ling, who had been following her all the time, whispered: "This pawn shop is already the most fair in Shuangxi Town, not to mention that a dagger sells for two taels of silver, which is not a lot. "

That's right, Wen Fei did not accept Li Ling's wolf fur, but chose to pawn his own dagger to raise travel expenses.First of all, although she killed the wolf, Li Ling skinned the wolf's skin to sell it for money when she didn't want it. She really didn't have the face to come back.Secondly, a few wolf skins are not worth anything. She and Chu Xi need to find someone to lead the way, and they have to buy a horse or rent a carriage instead, and the money for a few wolf skins is not enough.

In the end, Wen Fei has not given up on the idea of ​​using money to send the male lead away.That being the case, she couldn't accept the male lead's affection, let alone send him away with a few wolf skins, which were peeled by the other party himself.

After thinking about it, the little general decided to pawn his dagger, but he did not expect such a low price from the pawnshop.

It is true that ordinary daggers are not very valuable, and new daggers can be bought for two yuan in the blacksmith's shop on the street.As a little general, how could the dagger that is kept close to him be an ordinary thing?That dagger, which cuts iron like mud, is also a trophy she snatched back from the northern barbarian king's court. Not to mention it is worth a thousand gold, if it falls into the hands of the one she loves, a hundred gold is always willing to part with it.

About this, Wen Fei didn't want to explain to Li Ling, just like her and Chu Xi's identities, she didn't intend to disclose to Li Ling - it's hard to say about the future encounters, but at least artificial intersections can be avoided as much as possible.

Wen Fei continued to walk forward without looking at her. Seeing this, Li Ling knew that she was determined, so he sighed and followed.

In the end it was Li Ling who led the way, and the three of them went to another pawnshop to inquire about the price, but the shopkeeper was even more outrageous. He raised a finger and said to Wen Fei, "One tael of silver, nothing more."

Wen Fei was angry, but he knew that there were not many pawnshops in such a small town.So in the end she still patiently argued for a few words: "My dagger is made of steel that has been smelted hundreds of times. It cuts iron like mud. Why is it only worth one tael of silver?!"

Naturally, the shopkeeper of the pawn shop has no lack of eyesight, and he can also tell that Wen Fei's demeanor is not like ordinary people.But the man who runs the pawn shop is naturally dark-hearted and not afraid of things. Seeing Wen Fei's face, he is even more bullying. Hearing this, he immediately sneered: "If it weren't for the sharpness of your dagger, you can peel fruit more easily. You think I will do one or two Money? This money is enough for me to go out and buy several daggers."

Wen Fei was not stupid, so she naturally saw that the shopkeeper was cheating, and the price offered by the other party was not as good as the previous one, so she naturally picked up the dagger and left.

There are only three pawnshops in the entire Shuangxi Town, and if you can't go to two of them, the third one is not much better.And just as Li Ling said, the first one he brought was already the fairest pawn shop in the town, and the other two paid even less money.

The only dagger could not be sold at a bid, Wen Fei was somewhat depressed, looking at the dagger in his hand with some worry.

Chu Xi did not speak during the whole process, until he suddenly said: "Let's go back to the first house."

Li Ling thought that Chu Xi felt that the first pawn shop was more fair, so he went ahead to lead the way without saying anything.On the contrary, Wen Fei's face was slightly red, and he didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or annoyance. He gritted his teeth and didn't have the nerve to look at Chu Xi.

The three of them walked around the town, and finally went back to the first pawn shop.The shopkeeper of that pawn shop originally looked indifferent, and didn't even bother to look at them. Now seeing people coming back, he couldn't help showing a smile, a little proud: "I knew you had to come back. It's not that the old man is boasting." , the pawn shop in this town is only my family's most fair."

Wen Fei's face turned dark when he heard it, and Li Ling also saw that she couldn't hold back, so he stepped forward and threw his wolf skin on the counter: "I also want to sell this wolf skin, shopkeeper, take a look. How much are these wolf skins worth?"

The shopkeeper didn't bother when he heard the words, and looked through the wolf skins, but shook his head: "The skins are good skins, but it's a pity that the method of peeling them is unfamiliar, let alone tanning... I see you wolf I don’t plan to redeem the skins anymore, so let’s do it, I’ll give you two taels of silver for one wolf skin, and ten taels for five. If you think it’s suitable, you can take it, and if it’s not, you can sell it on the street.”

The price given by the shopkeeper is not high, but compared with Wen Fei's dagger, it seems a lot more reasonable.

Wen Fei's face darkened even more, and just as he was about to say something, Chu Xi grabbed his hand.She was so angry right now that she didn't care about anything else, she looked back subconsciously, and wanted to ask Chu Xi what she was pulling her for.

In the end, before Wen Fei could speak, he saw Chu Xi holding her with one hand, and a jade pendant appeared in the other hand, and said to the shopkeeper, "Take a look, shopkeeper, how much is my jade worth?"

The shopkeeper had just negotiated the deal with Li Ling, and when he heard the words, he turned his head casually, but couldn't take it away when he caught a glimpse of the jade pendant in Chu Xi's hand—he had seen many good things in the pawn shop, but no matter how good the things in the small town are , It can't compare with the background of the family.The jade pendant in Chu Xi's hand was warm and transparent, even if an ignorant person saw it, they would praise it for being beautiful.

It's rare to see such a good jade, the shopkeeper lost his composure for a moment, but he is a businessman after all, so he quickly put away his expression.Then the old man stroked his beard and pretended not to care: "This jade looks good at first glance, but you have to look closely to know it."

Chu Xi wanted to put the jade pendant on the counter when she heard the words, but Wen Fei stopped her with her hand.

There are live pawns and dead pawns in pawnshops, but even if they are live pawns, there are risks in placing things in pawnshops.Wen Fei knew that this jade was not disposable for Chu Xi, so he pulled her away and persuaded her in a low voice: "I don't need your jade. I have an official seal on me, so I can borrow some from an official office, or ask Li Ling can borrow some."

She said it easily, but how could Chu Xi not understand the embarrassment?She sighed softly, and met Shang Wenfei's gaze: "But there is no government office in Shuangxi Town, and the nearest county government office is eighty miles away. Are you going to take me over the mountains? As for Li Ling, I'll watch you I don't want to entangle with him, so why should I owe this favor?"

Chu Xi saw Wen Fei thoroughly, but after Wen Fei heard Chu Xi's last sentence, another sentence inexplicably emerged in his heart-why do you owe others favors?Since you owe it, you might as well owe it to me!

Wen Fei thought of this for no reason, his ears turned red in an instant, and his eyes wandered slightly.

Chu Xi didn't know why Wen Fei behaved like this, she blinked her eyes, turned around and put her jade pendant on the counter: "The shopkeeper, help me see, how much money can I get for this jade?"

When the shopkeeper heard that she wanted to work, a pity flashed in his eyes, but he picked up the jade pendant and looked at it without much persuasion.As a result, as soon as he got the jade, he found that the jade pendant not only looked transparent and flawless, but also warm to the touch. It was a piece of warm jade, and he liked it even more at the moment.In the end, he played with it a bit, and gave the quotation in a deep thought: "Three months of work, 200 taels, if you die, I can double it for you."

For the shopkeeper of the pawn shop who is picking and searching, this is really a sky-high price, but it is naturally incomparable with the real value of the jade pendant.

Fortunately, Chu Xi didn't care, her elder brother was in Jiangzhou, so she only needed to raise enough travel expenses to go to Jiangzhou... By the way, there was also Li Ling, who wanted to send people away with money before, so the money would be fine. Gotta count.

Chu Xi silently calculated in her heart, and felt that 200 taels would be enough, so she nodded and said, "In that case, I will ask someone to redeem it within three months."

The shopkeeper was not surprised when he heard the words. With his sharp eyes, he had already seen that Chu Xi and Wen Fei had extraordinary backgrounds, and the things they pawned now were just to deal with temporary difficulties.If his pawnshop hadn't opened in this remote town, he would have been more than happy to give the two of them a little bit of money, and it would be considered a good relationship.It's a pity that there is no if, so he can earn as much as he can.

A big deal was made, and the shopkeeper was very happy, and excitedly took out the receipt and began to fill it out.

On the other side, although Wen Fei didn't stop him any more, he still pursed his lips a little sullenly.When the shopkeeper finished filling out the pawn ticket, she took it over and said to Chu Xi, "Don't worry, I will send someone to redeem it when we get to Jiangzhou."

With a government office as big as Jiangzhou Prefecture, with Wen Fei's status as a first-rank general, it is impossible not to borrow money.And when Chu Xi arrived in Jiangzhou, his brother also took refuge in him, and then went all the way back to his hometown in Jiangnan, so he would not worry about these things anymore.

In short, as long as they arrive in Jiangzhou, all problems will be solved, and neither of them will be short of money, so there is no need to worry about it.

Because of this, Chu Xi did not stop Wen Fei's actions, and she acquiesced to her statement.On the contrary, the shopkeeper raised his eyes and looked at Wen Fei one more time. Although there was no extra emotion in his eyes, he looked at him uncomfortably - his fiancée became a jade pendant to support him, which made Wen Fei very uncomfortable, feeling like he was eating Ruanfan's little boy.More importantly, apart from getting along recently, the two of them are actually not close friends.

The more Wen Fei thought about it, the more embarrassed he became. Fortunately, the shopkeeper quickly took out the silver, and then took away Chu Xi's jade pendant and put it away carefully.Then Chu Xi pulled Wen Fei out without looking back, not showing how nostalgic she was.

Walking on the bustling street again, Chu Xi turned her head and smiled at Wen Fei: "Okay, let's eat wontons now."

Wen Fei looked at her smile for a moment in a daze, and the depression in her heart seemed to have dissipated a lot.

Li Ling was very excited when he heard this topic. He rubbed his stomach and said, "Let's go. Just now we walked around the street and passed by a wonton stall. It smelled delicious. I'm already hungry, now go Just eat an extra bowl."

As he said that, he rushed to the front excitedly, because he was hungry and he didn't want to see the two of them getting bored anymore.

Although Wen Fei and Chu Xi followed, they obviously ignored him.Wen Fei took two steps and suddenly took out his dagger from his arms, handed it to Chu Xi, and then said calmly, "This dagger is for your self-defense, it's not worth much anyway."

Chu Xi was inexplicably amused by this remark, and after thinking about it, she was not polite, and took it as a gift.

The author has something to say: Wen Fei (in a complicated mood): Suddenly he was taken care of, and suddenly he started eating soft food...

Chu Xi (sinking): In fact, my family has been accumulating for generations and is really rich. Is the little general considering getting married?

Li Ling: Real name envy! ! !
