Chapter 489: Pawn

"Really?" Shi Mu asked suspiciously, she had no idea at all now, so she could only hold on to Ling Ruo's life-saving straw.

"Yes, if I say yes, there will be, but you have to get up first before I can say it." The affirmation revealed in Ling Ruo's words made Shi Mu feel a little confident, and she stood up with difficulty, and couldn't wait to say: "Miss Ling, what is the method, tell me, tell me!" ”

Ling Ruo sighed softly, returned to the back room, took out a small cloth bag from under the board bed and put it in Shi Mu's hand, "Auntie, you open it and take a look." ”

Shi Mu opened it according to her words, and saw that what was wrapped in it was a pair of bracelets and a few beaded flowers, she looked a little familiar, and carefully identified it for a while, and found that it was the ornament that Ling Ruo had brought on her body when she was rescued.

Uncle Zheng sighed lightly and said, "This pair of jade bracelets is white in color and has a warm luster, it looks like a good thing." When the eldest lady of the Hou family got married yesterday, she also brought a pair of white jade bracelets on her hand, and it didn't seem to be a good pair. He often went to big families to listen to errands, and knew that in the eyes of big families, jade was much more precious than gold and silver, and the purer the jade, the better, so as soon as he saw Ling Ruo take out this pair of bracelets, he knew that the Tao was worth a lot.

"This pair of bracelets is made of whole pieces of mutton fat jade, and if you pawn it, three hundred taels should not be a problem." In fact, the value of this pair of bracelets is more than a thousand gold, but the price of jade is difficult to measure; Second, in order to make more money, pawnshops must try their best to reduce the price, and it is impossible to really be the value of this pair of jade bracelets.

Shi Mu didn't know what mutton fat jade was, she only knew that according to Ling Ruo, this pair of bracelets was very valuable and could save her son's life, she trembled and said, "Miss Ling, can you ......?"

"Needless to say, auntie, since I took out the bracelet, I naturally want to save Shi Sheng, as you said, if there is no Shi Sheng, I can't be alive today. You and Uncle Zheng will sit here for a while, and I'll take it to pawn. ”

"Thank you, Miss Ling!" Shi Mu burst into tears excitedly, Shi Sheng, Shi Sheng was finally saved!

After Ling Ruo went out, Uncle Zheng said to Shi Mu: "Old sister-in-law, where does this Ling girl come from, how can she wear such a precious bracelet on her body?" "The bracelet worth thousands of gold, even the first Houfu in Qingjiang Town, may not be able to take it out.

"This, I don't know very well, Shi Sheng rescued her at the foot of the mountain that day, and she was seriously injured at the time, and then I asked her who wanted to harm her, she only said that she was the enemy, and refused to say anything." Being asked by him like this, Shi Mu also felt that something was wrong, and remembered that they actually didn't know anything about Ling Ruo's origin and past.

Uncle Zheng helped her sit down in the old chair and said: "Old sister-in-law, I'm afraid that this Ling girl's origin is not simple, listen to my advice, after Shi Sheng comes back this time, send her away quickly, the injuries on her body are almost healed, you are kind to her." ”

"It's not good." Shi Mu said with some hesitation, Ling Ruoken took out such a valuable bracelet to save Shi Sheng, which shows that she is a person who values love and righteousness, and has a kind heart, so it seems a little unkind to rush her like this.

"Old sister-in-law." Uncle Zheng said earnestly: "You have heard the words of the person in the Hou Mansion before, Hou Gongzi will never forget her, even if Shi Sheng is rescued this time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no more trouble in the future." And also...... Have you thought about the people who chased her, if those people knew that she was hiding here......"

Shi Mu was suddenly startled and said in a trembling voice: "You mean, she will bring disaster to me and Shi Sheng?" ”

Uncle Zheng said solemnly: "Exactly, so the sooner this Ling girl leaves, the better." ”

"This is the ...... Let me think again. Although Shi Mu has been moved by Uncle Zheng's words, it is still a little difficult to make up her mind for a while.

After Ling Ruo left Shi's house, he found a pawnshop called Henglong according to the impression he had when he went to the market with Shi Sheng last time, it was early afternoon, the weather was hot, and few people would choose to go out at such a time, because there were no customers in the pawnshop, only one guy sat behind the counter more than one person high and fell asleep.

"Man! Buddy! Ling Ruo called several times in a row, only to make the guy's eyes open a slit, yawn big, sleepy eyes inadvertently glanced at Ling Ruo standing under the cabinet, but this glance made him become extremely awake all of a sudden, eyes wide and greedily looked at Ling Ruo, what a beautiful girl, that eyebrow and that eye, can be more beautiful than a lady who is drawn with a pen.

"This girl, are you going to pawn or ransom?" He asked, his eyes never leaving Ling Ruo's face.

Ling Ruo didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly put the bracelet on the counter and said, "I want to be this pair of bracelets." ”

The guy didn't think about it, thinking that the bracelet she was holding was a pair of ordinary jade bracelets, at most a few taels to a dozen taels. However, when he got the pair of bracelets, he immediately knew that he had guessed wrong.

The jade is white, the texture is delicate, the luster is moist, and the shape is like clotted fat, this bracelet ...... Could it be a mutton fat jade bracelet? If this is the case, then the value of this bracelet is incalculable.

"May I ask this girl, how much silver do you want?" The man asked cautiously, to be able to take out such a pair of bracelets, this girl's identity is not simple.

Ling Ruo lightly reported a number, "Five hundred taels." "The price is only half of this pair of jade bracelets, which is very little.

"Please wait a moment, girl, I'll go and ask the court to come over." Five hundred taels is a large amount, and the man does not dare to call the shots, and he is afraid that if he looks away, the silver that has been lost will have to be filled by himself, and five hundred taels will not be able to be compensated until he dies.

After returning the jade bracelet to Ling Ruo, the man went to the back and invited the great court, this great courtier, who has been working in this pawnshop for more than ten years, is the most experienced expert in the pawnshop, and everything that has passed his hand has not made a mistake.

After the great court took the jade bracelet, he took a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully, and asked him to bring a basin of water, put the jade bracelet in the water, and when he picked it up again after a while, the jade bracelet did not stick to the water, and it can be confirmed that this is indeed mutton fat jade, and on the water head and oil xing, it is the top grade in mutton fat jade. If this pair of bracelets is put in the jewelry shop, there is no one thousand taels of silver, don't say it, now it is only five hundred taels, which is almost equivalent to jian selling, but the merchant is very profitable, and there is no reason not to lower the price of things that enter the pawnshop, otherwise what will they eat?

Da Chaofeng deliberately frowned and said: "This jade is mutton fat jade, but the color is not uniform enough, and the oil xing is not very heavy, it is not worth five hundred taels, I will give you two hundred taels at most." ”

Ling Ruo thought that he might be depressed, but he didn't expect that this great court's heart would be so black, and the things of one thousand taels would be pressed to two hundred taels by him, did she really deceive her and not understand anything?

Ling Ruo didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and stretched out his hand and said, "Give me back the bracelet, I don't deserve it." ”
